CHAPTER 2: Recovery
For the past few weeks, Aunt Kim and Professor Stein have been studying me very closely. I felt as if I was an experiment and they were trying to scope me out.
It wasn't all that bad though…except for the fact that I missed school and Blue Star and I were suspended from missions by Lord Death. That sucked.
When the day I was finally released from the Dispensary came, Blue Star picked me up and carried me bridal style.
"Blue Star," I said while blushing. "I have feet too. I can walk."
"I'm not gonna let you walk. I want you to recover a bit more. Besides, you're not that heavy, Kami." He grinned.
I didn't protest. Blue Star was always one to take care of me in any way he can, and this is him showing his loyalty to me.
Once we got home, Blue Star brought me to my room, and laid me on my bed.
"Thank you." I smiled.
"No problem," he helped me into my covers, and walked around my room. He looked up at the board that held all of the pictures that we took together on missions out of the country.
"I like this one," he pointed at the one of us in London, standing in front of Big Ben.
I chuckled. "How come you specifically like that one?"
Blue Star sighed, looking up at the picture again. "Because this is the last pic we took together before the…incident."
Great, he brought up my injury again. I knew that Blue Star regretted the fact that I was the one who saved his life and ended up putting myself in danger. But that was in the past…it's over now.
"Blue Star," I said. "You have nothing to worry about…I'm totally fine."
He looked at me with his eyebrows pulled together. "I do have something to worry about, Kami. You're infected for Shinigami's sake!"
"I'll be fine." I said. "I can deal with black blood."
"Sure you can," Blue Star mumbled. "I would like to see you remain sane while activating it."
"I bet I can!" I yelled in defense. "If my dad can deal with it so can I! Plus I have a better chance since I have a calming wavelength similar to Mrs. Marie,"
Blue Star narrowed his eyes. "You didn't have to yell…"
"I only yelled because you're worrying to much Blue Star," I replied.
"I'm only worried because you're infected! There's a high chance that you might slip into complete madness and never come back sane…besides…you're grandpa was right…" he said.
"Right about what?" I asked, completely confused.
"He was right that it was my fault that you have black blood. If only I reacted sooner…"
Blue Star… I thought. Man, I can't help but admire how loving and caring he is.
"Blue Star," I said while getting up. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. You can trust me…right?"
Blue Star looked on over to me and sighed. "Yeah… I can trust you Kami. Just promise me you won't do anything else that's stupid or reckless… I can't stand seeing my best friend wind up in the Dispensary again."
I couldn't help blush. "Th-thanks, Blue Star. I'm glad to know that you can trust me."
Blue Star grinned and gave me a thumbs up. "I'll always be there for you, Kami. Besides, two stars are brighter than one, right?"
Oh how I loved that phrase. He would say that to me every time we successfully completed a mission. That phrase made me feel worthy of being Blue Star's partner.
"Right," I smiled. "Definitely."
"Blue Star…let me walk. My wound doesn't hurt anymore, plus this is embarrassing…" I whined.
Blue Star and I were currently walking towards the DWMA. Well actually, Blue Star was walking WHILE he carried me on his back.
"Nuh uh, Kami," he said. "I'm carrying you wherever we go until I decide that you're ready to walk by yourself."
Great… I sighed at my own thought. I know he's trying to help, which is so very sweet of him, but it's kind of getting on my nerves. But like always, I didn't protest.
He kept walking while I leaned against his shoulder blade, wrapping my arms tighter around his neck.
"You tired?" he asked. "We could always tell Lord Death that you aren't feeling good."
I shook my head. "No, I don't want to miss another day of school. If I do then I'll fall behind, and my brother or Alex will take place as the top student of our class."
Blue Star chuckled. "That's my Kami, always determined and tries her best to be the top."
A few more minutes passed until we finally reached the school's steps.
As Blue Star reached the final step, he stopped dead. I looked over his shoulder and widened my eyes.
There was a banner that said, "WELCOME BACK, KAMI!" hanging on the pillars that were beside the doors. To make it even worse, there was a picture of me plastered on the balcony just above the banner.
"How embarrassing…" I sighed.
Blue Star looked at me and smiled. "I'm pretty sure your parents were in charge of doing that,"
"Wonderful…"
"But you also have our friends to think about too."
I stiffened. I completely forgot that my brother and everyone else might've pulled something together like my parents.
Once we got to Professor Stein's room, Blue Star let me down and opened the door for me. I didn't even take one step in, and I could already tell there was a banner and everything.
"WELCOME BACK KAMI!" my friends, as well as Blue Star, exclaimed.
I walked into the classroom, which was filled with streamers and balloons. The tables had red cloths over them, and the chalk board was decorated the same way as the entrance to the school.
Ryder jumped over one of the desks and ran up to me.
"Welcome back sis, school hasn't been the same without you." He grinned.
I smiled back. "Thank you, Ry. Was this your idea?"
"Nope," he replied, shaking his head. "The person who made this possible is standing right next to you."
I looked up at Blue Star, who was blushing and looking down at the ground.
"You did this?" I asked.
He nodded, rubbing the back of his head. "Yeah… I asked Lord Death if we can throw you a little party of your recovery, and he said yes. So we decided to have in here, and at the school."
"Plus grandpa gave all the other students a day off so we can party in here." Layla added.
I widened my eyes, and then punched my partner in the shoulder.
"Ow!" he yelped. "What was that for?"
"That was for lying to me by saying there was school today," I said.
Blue Star lowered his head. I smirked, kissing his cheek and giving him a hug.
"And that was for taking the time to plan a sweet "Welcome Back" party for me."
He instantly blushed, while everyone in the room made catcalls (mostly the guys) and said "aw".
I giggled. "Looks like I owe you something huh?" I said, looking up at my meister.
"You don't owe me anything," He said. "All I ask from you is to always be my partner."
I nodded. "Always."
Best reward for a successful recovery.
A/N: What a fluff-tastic ending! This chapter was super cute. Blue Star is such a cutie! Kami is a very lucky girl! Anyways, can anyone spot the "Camp Rock" reference and the "How to Train Your Dragon" line? If you do I'll give you a cookie and a hug! :3 Here's some notes about this chappie:
1. Whenever they're out of the country, Blue Star and Kami take pictures together in front of a well-known structure that that country has. They're especially close, which is so adorable :3
2. Blue Star cares for Kami A LOT. If you haven't noticed, he's in love with her. He'll do anything just to make her happy, which I find is very sweet about him.
3. Layla is one of the daughters of Kid and Liz. Her twin sister is named Darcy. Yeah, that's right, I gave Kid perfectly (well...almost) symmetrical twins.
4. Professor Stein is STILL a teacher. The adults my next gen will NEVER age1 They're just too awesome to get rid of! XD Oh, and did you notice that I put "Mrs. Marie" INSTEAD of "Miss Marie"? I'm sure you all know why...
AND THAT'S IT FOR THIS CHAPTER! See you guys in Chapter 3! Hopefully...PLEASE REVIEW! :3 Pwetty pweez!
