A month had past since the "Battle of Truth", as it had been named, had occurred. Kimiko had slowly been able to get back into her daily life. It had been half a month before she had been able to leave her bed in the temple infirmary. It had taken her another two weeks to be able to walk on her own. Clay had been there to help her with every step towards her road to recovery. He had never once left her side, in fear that she would fall and hurt herself, or worse. Frankley Kimiko was becoming a bit annoyed with it.
"Clay? You know you don't have to follow me everywhere? I'm able to walk a lot better on my own now. You don't have to watch every move I make" Kimiko said as her and Clay walked out into the garden. Clay just smiled at Kimiko as he lifted her up onto her favorite branch to swing on.
"I know that I don't have to Kimmy, I want too!" Clay said as he took a seat next to her. "Besides" he mumbled, "Its my fault your like this anyway" Clay mumbled as he messed with his robes sash. Kimiko gave the older boy a sad look and sighed. "Clay I've told you before! It wasn't your fault. I'm the one who jumped in front of Wuya's blast to save you!" Kimiko said as she looked down at her feet.
"Ya well ya shouldn't of had to!" Clay snapped as he slid down off the tree. "I'm the one that should have saved you! I'm the one who should have been lying in that bed for two almost a month straight, not you!" Clay said as he punched the Garden wall, causing his hand to bleed. Kimiko eyes widened as she saw the blood trickle down Clays arm. Carefully without clay noticing, she slid down the tree and limped over to him.
"Clay! Are you OK!?" Kimiko said as she held Clays bloody hand up to examine the damage. Clay just pulled his hand away and sighed. "I'm fine Kimiko! It's just a scratch is all. Nothin to fret about" Clay said as he went to wipe the blood onto his robe. Kimiko grabbed his arm and ripped a peace of her robe and wrapped it around Clays cut.
"Now look what ya've done Kimiko!" Clay scowled, "You've ruined yer robe because of me," Clay said as looked at the tear mark on her robe. "Oh its alright, Ill just sew this up later" Kimiko said not looking at the Cowboy as she finished up her patch job to Clays hand. "Besides, its just a robe, it can be replaced" Kimiko said as she smiled up at the Cowboy. Clay couldn't help but smile back at the smaller girl, she was just too Danged cute when she smiled.
'She's so cute when she smiles' Clay thought as Kimiko went over too a group of birds and feed them some birdseed. 'There's no other girl like her. She's brave, kind, thoughtful, and prettier than the stars themselves" Clay thought as Kimiko walked over to him and pulled him back to the temple. 'Maybe one day, ill be able to tell her all this when I tell her that I love her.'
"Hey Clay, are you ok!" Kimiko said, snapping Clay out of his thoughts. "Oh! I'm fine Kimiko" Clay said with a smile 'I'm just fine' Clay thought as he walked into the temple with Kimiko to go find Omi and Jack.
