Okay well I've been eager to write this chapter so I hope you're eager to read it!

May: I am! I am!

Drew: I'm not.

Me: Nobody asked you lame-o!

May: Hahaha Lame-o!

Me: Oh and if your still wondering we are currently riding a donkey to the border of Russia so we can get back home.

Drew: Donkey's stink.

Me: So do you! Well anyhoo lets get on with the chapter! I do not own pokemon!

Water: Healings

May sat at the bedside of the boy who attacked while Misty came in with a bowl of steaming water and a wash cloth. May stared at his face with concentration as she took in his feature. It wouldn't seem right to find your attacker handsome but surprisingly he was. His breathing was shallow and hard. Misty set the bowl of water down and wiggled her fingers over it. The water moved up and surrounded her hand before glowing a bright white. May watched in astonishment as Misty traced her hand over the boy's motionless form.

"What are you doing Misty?" May asked as Misty went over his arm.

"Checking him for any serious damage…" She muttered then her face formed into a scowl. "Even though he deserves all the pain in the world."

May ignored the last comment and continued to watch the boy. His faced winced and a small gasp came from his mouth when Misty got to his stomach. May looked at her and Misty just pulled up his shirt to reveal a large gash that started at the middle of his stomach and went all the way to his side. Misty sucked her teeth and May winced knowing she was the cause of the injury.

"Not even I have the ability to heal that…." Misty said letting the water drop back into the bowl. May lowered her head in shame.

"Hurting people seems so wrong…" She muttered as she pulled back down the boy's shirt. "How do these fire manipulators do it for a living practically?"

"Don't ask me." Misty snapped putting up her hands up in protest. "They're just evil like that I guess." Misty walked out the room with the bowl of water and May sighed. She leaned her elbow on the side of the bed and propped her head up in her hand. She shoved her hand into her pocket and pulled out the water talisman.

"This job is actually easier then I thought." She muttered shoving the talisman back in her pocket.

'Not as easy as you think….there is more to being the Ping Heng then talismans…'

May looked around for the source of the voice. The voice was soft and mature and the only people in the room were her and a boy who wasn't even awake. She shrugged off the voice and went into her pocket again, this time the air talisman came out. She stared at this talisman for much longer. Just thinking that no less then a day ago this talisman was held in the hands of Mikiko, the greatest thing close to a grandparent that May had. Mikiko was more then a teacher or an elder…..she was May's closets and greatest friend.

A lone tear slid down May's face and she quickly swiped it away, but she could not choke back the sob that hiccupped out of her throat. Knowing that no one was really around May let the tears fall openly as she reminisced on the life that she had that was destroyed.

"What are you cryin about?" A voice sneered. May quickly lifted her head to see the fire region boy sitting upright with his emerald green eyes half lidded. May blinked before backing away from the bed.

"Y-You're awake." She mumbled shaking slightly as she brushed away the remaining tears. He rolled his eyes.

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious Ms. Nit Wit." He snapped. May flushed with anger. "Where the hell am I?"

"Hey! You should be grateful that you're even alive!" May yelled glaring at him.

"You're the one that tried to kill me in the first place!" He yelled back. May's face fell and she slumped over.

"Well you tried to kill me first and….your the one who killed everyone I know and love! And for what!? Selfish gain!?" She yelled standing up. "I lost everything and I'm trying to withhold my peoples honor and make sure people like you don't do what you did to my home!!!!"

The boy remained silent and glared downwards. She sat back down and crossed her arms. Hearing the yelling her Beautifly came in and perched itself on her head. May released a sigh and closed her eyes.

"I didn't have any control…" She finally muttered turning her head away from him. "The talisman took control of me."

"Of course it did!" He snapped. "And do you wanna know why? Because you don't have any control period! You're a sorry excuse for a manipulator! If all the earth depends on you then the earth can just be considered dead." May winced at his words and tried to hold the tears that threatened to fall again.

"Your life wasn't worth saving!" She said quietly rubbing at her eyes. "I should have killed you when I had the chance." Those last words came out in a harsh growl.

"Yea you should have but you're such a good girl that you decided to take me in. I bet you were probably thinking in that dense head of yours that I would be grateful, well tough luck, I'm not! I would rather die then be spared by you."

May stared at him in shock. "You can't say that! Dying like that is completely stupid! Can you actually say you'd rather be dead right now?" May whispered getting up from her seat and taking a step closer. He grunted and glared downwards again.

"Someone important once told me that you should never act out of hate to another cause nobody is your enemy." She said with confidence in her voice. He laughed mockingly.

"And you actually believe that?" He questioned.

"I live by it."

"You must have fallen off your glider one too many times or you left your common sense up in the clouds….this isn't your stupid little temple, this is the real world good girl." He said flicking his green hair.

"My name is not good girl." She muttered

"Whatever…I don't care what your name is."

A tension filled awkward silence hung over them. They both refused to make eye contact and May felt rather uncomfortable.

"What's your name?" She finally asked looking at him in the face he turned his head with a grunt. "I asked you a question!" She yelled sternly. He just rolled his eyes. "Answer me!" She ordered. He finally turned to face her.

"I don't have to tell you anything." He sneered. May, losing her temper snatched up her staff and pointed it at him square in the face.

"I'm trying to be nice here!" She snapped. "I'm May and I just saved your life! You should be grateful and tell me your fricken name!!!!" She screamed practically. "You're in no shape to fight….you have a gash the size of Vayu so either tell me your name our get beat."

"Jeez you're such a hot head. Are you sure you're not from Pao" He asked smirking evilly. (A/N: If you are keeping track you should know that Pao is the fire region)

May growled and put the staff closer to his face.

"The names Drew." He finally said. May lowered her staff and smiled slightly.

"Nice to meet you Drew." She said. He sweat dropped at her sudden mood change. Her face suddenly fell. "You are so lucky my friends haven't killed you yet."

"What?"

"We had to hide you…..the rest of the fire region left…..running away like babies." She said with a smirk. Drew's hands began to steam at the thought then the worst dawned to him.

"They left me?" He muttered. May nodded.

"So now you are left in our care until we find out what we're gonna do with you."

"No way! I'm outta here even if I have to swim all the way to Pao." Drew said as he tried to get up but instead he let out a large cry of pain. May pushed him back down into the bed.

"You can't go anywhere! I already told you! You have a huge gash."

"So what." He growled crossing his arms. May let out an exasperated sigh.

"You need to heal, just like I do." She said looking to the floor. Drew blinked then smirked.

"Oh you mean the little burn I gave you?" He mused flicking his hair. May looked up to show that her eyes were glazed over with tears. She smiled slightly and shook her head before rubbing the tears away.

"No not the burn…..I need time to heal over my loss. I….miss my family." She said in a choked tone as she tried to hold back a soft sob. "The entire reason I didn't just stay up in Vayu is because my father said this was my duty…..I had to do this or I would seem selfish….when he said that I busted out crying like the baby I am….and then seeing him just laying there…..and then seeing Mikiko…..I knew that if that's what happened to me I couldn't imagine what you fire region people were going to do here so I had to come."

Drew stared at her for a while then looked away not feeling able to look her in the face anymore. He was the exact opposite of her…..He was willing to kill for the sake of selfishness and she was willing to save for the sake of unselfishness. She was the definition of brave and pure while he hid behind the intimidation he inflicted and remained stained by hid actions….but the greatest thing they had in common was they were forced into it at first and didn't have much of a choice in the end.

"So….all this is for the sake of the people you love….I mean you loved." Drew questioned quietly. May nodded.

"Yea…but now that I've started I can't go back…..I bring Misty and Ash so much hope and I can't let Max and Becky down when they vowed to stay by my side."

"You….seem so…" He trailed off. She looked him in the eye and smiled.

"So, what?" She asked

"MAY!!!!!" A shrill voice called literally flying into the room. May smiled and stood up from her seat as her best friend came up next to her. Drew turned his head in an attempt to hide the small blush creeping across his face.

"What's up Becky?" May asked. Becky was literally bouncing off the walls with excitement.

"Misty has some awesome news to tell you! C'mon!" Becky ordered dragging her friend out the room. May had no choice but to follow and smiled at Drew before he was out of her view. Once she was downstairs in the living room where Misty, Ash, and Max were she looked at them all confused.

"What's this awesome news Becky told me about?" She asked. Ash grinned.

"Well me and Misty were thinking for a while and we came up with an idea." He said as he looked to Misty to continue.

"We want to come with you!...I'm sure they'll survive without us." Misty said with a grin of her own. "We feel that this place can last without us and our services are needed with the Ping Heng."

"Aww! Thanks you guys!" May said happily as she trapped the two water region teens in a tight group hug.

"Hey don't we still have to worry about the guest upstairs." Max inserted completely ruining the happy atmosphere.

"Oh yea! What are we going to do about him?" Becky asked looking to May for an answer. May searched her mind for one and only came up with an irrational but only option idea.

"I guess he's stuck with us….better get used to it I guess." May said adding in a shrug. Becky smiled, Max looked wary, Ash shrugged and Misty looked shocked.

"WHAT!!!!????"

All finished! This chapter probably wasn't as long as the last one but I bet it was just as interesting!

May: And more!

Drew: Sorry I fell asleep after the chapter title.

Me: You are so mean…but still totally awesome!

Drew & May: WHA!?

Me: Sorry…when I don't watch episodes of pokemon with Drew in them I obsess over him but I will always know that he and May are meant for each other! (Draws a heart around a picture of May and Drew)

May: (Blushes…)

Me: Pweez review!
