A/N I do not own the peeps, cept Cat...bwa ha..... please R&R!
Voices. That's all that she could hear. They were slightly familiar, as if she had heard them once before, but yet she knew she hadn't. They had died down now and all she knew was that her head hurt. Her eye lids felt like lead as she tried to open them.
Leon watched her closely seeing that she was trying to force herself awake. He got up briefly to fix her a glass of water and to re-wet the cloth he had put on her head a while before hand. He set the glass on a bedside table and placed the cloth on her head. He sighed and looked at her as she winced.
"Don't force yourself kid..." He mumbled sitting back in his chair.
There was a another voice, a man's...again it was familiar but where it had been heard was still a mystery. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around bedazzled. She saw Leon and blinked. He handed her the water as she slowly sat up very much confused.
"Hey...how do you feel kid...?" Leon asked her calmly taking the cloth from her lap as it had fallen down when she sat up. She looked up at him and blinked again.
"Uh..ok....my head hurts...." She mumbled looking around. Leon motioned for her to lean over a little so he could look at her head. She nodded and did so. Leon gently turned her head to one side to see the side that had been facing away from him. He pulled back someone her hair to see a spot where she had been hit by some debris, any bleeding that had occurred had ceased and dried over, but she still winced as he touched it lightly.
"Since you winced, I'm guessing that it still hurts.....Aerith is a lot better at healing than I am, those two should be up by now....I'll go get her..." Leon held back a yawn as he stood up, taking her empty water glass and cloth. He opened up the door and trudged into the next room, greeted by a cheery Yuffie.
"Hey Squall! I thought you weren't going to leave until she woke up!"
"It's Leon...."
"Oh whatever!"
"And she's awake...but she has a wound on the side of her head, Aerith, I thought maybe you could..."
"Of coarse! I'll get right on it!" Aerith nodded and quickly went to a nearby shelf and pulled out a potion bottle and took the cloth from Leon. "This SHOULD do the trick...I won't need the whole thing though..." Aerith stated heading towards the room.
"Hey Aerith! If it doesn't work, I'll beat you up so you can max up to your healing wind limit!" Yuffie smirked, grabbing her shuriken from her back. Aerith turned and looked at Yuffie with wide eyes.
"Yuffie! That would be mean!!" Aerith stated looking at her friend.
"Hey, I never said it was nice, besides, it's too tempting!! If you beat up Aerith, she'll heal everyone!!" Yuffie said, smirking and mimicking an announcer for some product. Leon crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall, hiding a smirk.
"Yuffie no..."
"Awwww I need practice....plllleeeaaassseeeeeee?" Yuffie begged.
"You can beat up Tifa..."
"I thought you two were really great friends...." Leon raised an eyebrow. Aerith just looked back at him and didn't respond. She returned the stare and walked into the room.
"Oohhhh cold shouldahhhhh! Love triangles, gotta love em!" Yuffie smirked pretending to gasp.
"Yuffie be quiet...."
"What's wrong..? Am I scaring you....? Are you afraid of lil' ol me?" Yuffie smirked looking at him.
".......Petrified..." Leon sighed shaking his head.
Aerith smiled sweetly at the girl as she walked into the room. The girl blinked and gave a quick smile back. Aerith sat down on the bed gently and motioned for the girl to move a little closer.
"So, is it just your head that still hurts?" Aerith asked her nicely as she poured some of the liquid onto the cloth. The girl nodded silently but didn't speak. Aerith sighed as she pulled back some of the hair to get more of the wound. "This shouldn't hurt, it's usually a warm soothing feeling." Aerith said applying the potion-soaked cloth onto the wound. Almost instantly the girl cried out in pain and pulled away.
"That hurt!" She yelled, wincing and putting her hand over the area. Aerith blinked highly confused. Yuffie stuck her head in the room, soon followed by Leon.
"Aerith, what was THAT?" Yuffie asked looking at her. Leon didn't say anything but he was curious too.
"I...I....It's...the potion, it hurt her...it's not supposed to do that..." Aerith said confused.
"Well, did it heal her any?" Leon inquired. Aerith coaxed the girl to lean over again and she looked, nothing had happened. Leon's became stern as he walked over. "It should have worked....I guess you'll have to clean it the poor-man's away...with soap and water....and let it heal on it's own..." He mumbled.
"I'll get the water stuff!" Yuffie volunteered walking out of the room. Leon sighed and looked to the girl.
"Why didn't it work....?" He thought aloud thinking about it. Aerith looked up to him and shrugged.
"It's a mystery to me..." She sighed. Within a few moments Yuffie came back with the supplies and the girls head was bandaged up after a lot of whimpering.
"I suppose we should properly introduce ourselves." Leon said leaning up against the wall. "I'm..."
"I know who you all are!" The girl said somewhat excited looking around at them. "You're Aerith, Yuffie and Squall! Er...Leon!" She said. Aerith smiled.
"You probably heard us talking..." She laughed.
"No! I already knew...!" She said looking at all of them. Yuffie and Aerith looked confused but Leon had a feeling he knew why she knew but he didn't say so.
"Well anyway..." Leon said breaking the awkward silence. "Get some rest, you need it...but first, what's your name kid...?" He asked her. She smirked as she answered him.
"My names Cat...." She said quietly.
"Mrrooowwww......" Yuffie smirked in the background.
"Yuffie..." Squall said sternly looking at her. Yuffie turned to him and hissed, but when she saw that he wasn't amused, blushed embarrassedly and looked away. Cat looked at them all and held back her laughter.
