Forgiveness Is Hard To Ask For
A/N Here's more.
Mahalo to my reviewers, you guys rock.
Plus I have faith that Jumba can help Leroy along with Kaimi.
They are part of his family.
Lilo gasped as she heard what Stitch told her that night while in bed. Stitch knew that he shouldn't break his promise to Jumba but he always told her everything that was bothering him or on his mind but had told her because he'd been quiet.
"Don't worry Jumba can help Leroy, I know it.
But that's not what's bothering you, is it honey?" she told her husband stroking his blue fur.
"Ih Stitch know Jumba can do it.
Stitch feel sad for Leroy.
He all alone and nobody want him.
We should help." he answered her.
He then felt her hug him.
"What was that for?" he asked her.
"You can see good in Leroy, can't you?
Along with Kaimi, right?" she said.
Stitch nodded in reply.
"Ih Lilo right.
Leroy needs help to get better and find ohana.
Like Stitch did with you." he said as she smiled.
Jumba smiled sadly seeing Leroy drink water. He was working on medication but in the meantime was giving him plenty of fluids but was worried for him. He knew there was some goodness in him but had a feeling only Kaimi could see it for now.
"Don't worry Leroy.
Jumba is working on medicine to help." he said stroking his pale orange red fur.
"T-Thanks Jumba but why help me?
I hurt you and the others." Leroy told him sadly with a look of pity in his eyes.
"Yes that is true but that Hamsterwheel's fault.
You're still one of my children and I care about you like with all my creations.
I am your father after all." he told him hugging him gently.
He wouldn't get the virus because his species were immune to it but he felt bad for his creation.
"Thanks father." he whispered falling asleep as Jumba went back to work.
He felt the drive to make the formula to help him.
Kaimi was entering the forest but was searching for somebody who lived there along with Leroy.
He heard soft singing as he came to the tree house where Leroy lived but saw Moopey there singing. She looked sad in the beauty of the moonlight but had a feeling she was worried about Leroy like he was.
"Kaimi...... how long have you been there?" the female experiment asked him softly.
"A few minutes.
You have a beauitful singing voice.
Like Angel but with a less girly attitude." he said to her.
"Thanks.
How...... is he?
I heard Jumba doing tests on him.
Will he be okay?" the female experiment asked him.
Kaimi was silent for a moment.
"Jumba found out what was wrong with him.
He has the Quanta virus and it's uncurable but he won't die.
Just very sick.
But Jumba's working on medicine to help him cope with it.
Right now he's in a fusion chamber resting.
I know he'll get better.
Do you want to see him Moopey?" Kaimi explained softly.
"Ih.
I need to know he's okay." she said hiding how she was feeling in her tone of voice.
"Let's go." he said leading the way back to the Pelekai house.....
Jumba was asleep in his bed in his and Pleakley's room but was having unpeaceful dreams but deserved them because he'd left Leroy behind and he was ohana but didn't want him to use his uncontrollable strength to hurt those he cared about but could see goodness in him like Lilo with Stitch. But he woke up with a jolt as his body was in a cold sweat as he decided to take a walk to calm his nerves. He hoped that he could help Leroy.
But in the Big Red Battleship, Leroy was surprised waking up to see Kaimi with Moopey.
"Hey Leroy.
I was worried for you after what happened.
Kaimi explained to me the illness you have.
I know you'll get better.
I won't give up on that or my faith in Jumba.
He can do anything he puts his mind to.
But at least you have Kaimi to keep you company." she told him putting her hand to the glass of the fusion chamber as he did weakly with his eyes closed as Jumba came in as Moopey made herself unseen.
The Quanta Quaglian sighed at that.
He knew Moopey was shy but was always sad and felt alone.
"Kaimi it's late.
You should go sleep.
I'll handle things here." he reassured him.
Kaimi nodded asche left the ship.
"Jumba?" Leroy said softly.
"Ih Leroy.
What is it?" he asked him.
"I need you to promise to keep Kaimi happy while I'm like this along with the entire ohana.
I will get better, right?" the red furred experiment said softly.
"Ih Jumba promise to keep Kaimi okay.
You will get better in time but you should keep faith in yourself and in me." he told him as he went back to work.
Moopey watched as Jumba was too caught up in his work as she reappeared but saw Leroy smile as his eyes opened in surprise to see her.
"Why're you still here?
Lilo and the others will find you.
Why do you care about me so much?" he asked softly.
"I care because I'm your friend.
Something you've never had before me." she said leaving.
He thought about that falling asleep......
