Anise's Adventure
Chapter 14: Over Protective Sync?
...
Anise's POV
I wasn't too thrilled about going with the others, especially Jade. All he said was he had to keep a sharp eye on me after what I did...
I can't blame him, I did steal his Fomicry note's.
I felt awful about what I did, and what happened after. When it was all said and done I vowed to work hard to get Jade's trust back, but this time I wouldn't break it again.
I snapped out of my thoughts when Noelle landed near Belkend. I followed everyone else off the aircraft and into the city while Noelle stayed behind to keep an eye on the Albiore. Guy and Jade were talking quietly up ahead, probably about me...
The only person that still talked to me and even tried to comfort me was Sync. I chuckled in my mind at the irony. Sync, my one comrade who I once considered my enemy, was trying to comfort me. Of all people, he comforted a traitor like me. I betrayed them in Daath and led Ion to his death, and then I did it again...they shouldn't even bother with me any more.
"Hey!"
I blinked in surprise as I was pulled away from my own thoughts. I didn't hear Sync calling my name, and it looked like it was pissing him off.
I smiled nervously, "S-sorry Sync, I was just thinking to myself. What were you saying?"
He sighed, obviously annoyed, "I asked you if it's really a good idea to come with us without Tokunaga? I've never once seen you fight without that doll."
I frowned, looking down while walking beside Sync, "Yeah, Tokunaga was always with me. He was a gift from my parents when I became a Fon Master guard, and the other guardians always used to make fun of me for carrying him around back when he was just a normal doll. Then I met Dist, and he adjusted him somehow so he could fight with me. So, yeah, it's a odd feeling just being by myself, but I have to deal with it! I have to take responsibility for my actions...so that's why...I'm going to do my best even if Tokunaga isn't with me."
Sync chuckled and crossed his arms, "I think everyone that said you weren't cut out to be a Fon Master...they're idiots. You're pretty capable in my eyes. When you put your mind to it, at least."
I smiled. Tears almost escaped, but I held them back and kept my smile on my lips. "Thanks...for saying I'm capable of being a Fon Master. It means a lot coming from you."
He nodded, as if embarrassed, and picked up his pace to catch up to Jade and Guy.
I smiled to myself. I couldn't believe Sync, of all people, was cheering me up. Things were starting to look up. I just hoped we found Damian before he made any Replica armies.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when four monster boars showed up near Belkend. I stayed back to cast, only using my mace to attack them if they tried to get too close. Every time I tried to put distance between myself and the beasts to cast one of the boars in particular kept interrupting me.
"Damn it!" I cried, back-stepping and rolling away from the beast and wishing I had Tokunaga to put between us, "A little help here!" I called out to the others while trying to use my mace to beat the monster, but Jade was taking care of one on his own, it was the same with Guy, and sadly Sync was tied up with the other one.
So yeah, I was screwed! I gasped when my mace was knocked out of my hand and far from me. I gulped, sweat sliding down my temple, and closed my eyes waiting for the monster to charge at me.
"Stone Dragon Ascent!"
I opened my eyes to see Sync jump down from hitting the monster with his arcane arte standing in front of me protectively, "Anise, get your mace! Back me up!" I nodded, running to where my mace lay, but before I could reach it I saw another monster sneaking up behind Jade. I frowned and ran past my mace to Jade.
Everything was in slow motion when I yelled out Jade's name instead of 'Colonel' like I always did, and pushed him out of the way only to get charged and thrown by the monster.
I screamed, rolling a couple of times on the ground and still hearing the battling near me. Sync, Guy and Jade were all calling my name in shock and panic. I felt numb, all I was seeing was blurs of green brown and navy blue.
"...I-I'm...sorry, Colonel. Really...sorry..."
Then the darkness covered me with its thick blanket.
Sync's POV
When I was buying Anise time to get her Mace, I punched the monster to make it dazed and prepared to deal the final blow, but when I heard Anise cry out the Necromancer's name I spun around to see her push him out of the monster's way and getting hit in his place. She screamed, falling too the ground with blood pouring out around her fallen body where the boars horns had impaled her.
"Anise!"
Me and Guy killed the monster and charged at the one that hurt Anise. along with Jade using his spear.
I rushed to Anise's side, hearing her speak softly.
"...I-I'm...sorry Colonel. Really...sorry..."
I frowned, "Anise!" I rolled her on her back, seeing her eyes close and tears cascading down her pale cheeks.
"Sync...is she?"
I glared at Guy, who flinched, "Why would you care?! All you two did was ignore her! Just because she wanted to be helpful! Yes it was stupid of her to give up the Fomicry notes, but you should be more pissed off at that bastard that's planning to do something with them! He talked her into it! Now if you excuse me...Anise needs a doctor." I gently picked Anise up in my arms and started toward the city.
It was a good thing we weren't too far from Belkend. I got to the Inn and quickly found a Doctor for Anise, I was pacing out in the front of the room I rented for Anise and myself, knowing Kairi would have wanted me to keep an eye on her, when Guy and Jade finally approached.
"Sync..."
"Don't even talk to me Guy! If Anise doesn't make it...you two are going to be the first ones who get their asses kicked!" I threatened them, and the Doctor walk out of the room. "Is she...?"
The Doctor smiled, "She's alive, you are a good man, Sync. If you didn't call for my help, she wouldn't have made it. Now, when she wakes up, please come inform me right away so I can check up on her."
I nodded and thanked him before walking inside the room to see a sleeping Anise in one of the beds. I fixed the blanket so it'll keep her warm, it felt like she was like a sister to me...maybe that's why I was protective of her lately. I put my hand gently on her head, "I'll be right back, I need to give those two idiot's a good yelling...again."
When I left the room, I saw Noelle standing next to Guy, and Jade wasn't around any more.
"Sync!" Noelle rushed over to me, worry in her eyes, "How is she?"
"She's fine...if you want to go in and watch her for me, please?"
She blinked, "S-sure."
I watched her go into the room before turning back to Guy.
"Sync, look I'm s-"
I glared harshly at him, "Don't you dare! Don't say sorry to me, Guy, the one person you need to say sorry too is Anise. Where is that Necromancer at? I'm going to kick his ass."
Guy sighed, "Jade went to get some items to stock up, and to get information about Damian's whereabouts... You know Jade feels bad for what happened to Anise even though he hides it."
I clenched my fists at my side, "That doesn't mean anything! That bastard is heartless if he doesn't show he cares!"
"...Maybe he thinks it's better that way for him, he's probably not used to the emotions like we are."
I was frustrated! "When he does get back he's not allowed to enter Anise's room, got it?"
Guy nodded "Okay, you need to sit down and relax. After what happened to Anise I know it's been hard for you, and it's my fault for letting my anger get the best of me...after all it's not very gentlemanly of me."
I scoffed, but cracked a smile Guy trying to cheer me up in his weird ways.
I walked into the room next door to rest, hoping Anise would wake up soon.
I also hoped Kairi would hurry up and find that idiot Dist soon. It was more frustrating than I thought it was going to be, dealing with this bunch of idiots without her.

Angel: Oh dear, well Anise get Tokunaga back from the three girls? Well they find Damian in time or well they be to late? Stay tune for the next chapter~ Ciao!
