I don't think I did a good job on my Aqua part of the story, so I hope my Ven part will make up for it R&R
Ven quickly looked back and forth at his quickly parting friends, each running in the opposite direction of the other.
Once again Ven was left alone with only the card he was given in his hand and the only idea of what he should be doing being 'get gifts'
'How the heck am I suppose to that? I don't even have any money' he thought as he started to walk around the town, looking in the various windows that made up the main street stores. He had seen a couple of things that he was sure Terra and Aqua would like, wishing he could actually buy them.
As he looked he heard someone giggling with tiny footsteps alongside it. He could tell that it was coming toward him so out of curiosity he looked over his shoulder to see a small girl with short red hair running toward him with a big bag in her hand. He grinned at her because of the big smile that was across her face. He didn't know why but every time someone smiled he just had to grin, maybe it was him being unconsciously polite.
As she ran pass him, Ven noticed something coming toward her. It was a little boy, about her age maybe year older, with a weird gun thing in his hands and aiming it… at her? A swooshing noise went through the air as something went flying toward the innocent girl. Ven quickly panicked and started to run after the girl to try and block the shot.
But he wasn't going to make, so in a last ditch effort he yelled out
"WATCH OUT!" the girl quickly tried to turn around, trying to stay steady on the slippery street. She freaked out when she saw the projectile and tried to shield herself. That did little to no good as the shot hit her and actually pushed her back hard onto the ground. Ven's heart sank a little as he rushed over to her and looked her over
"Hey, HEY wake up!" he said as he shook her while the little boy snickered behind him. Upon further investigation Ven found out that she was hit with a snow ball. But that didn't make sense to him since a regular snowball wouldn't make a person lose their balance so easily. Then he found the reason for that on the ground where she had fallen. Ice, right next to the snow that made up the snow ball were noticeable chunks of ice. Ven began to freak as he looked again on the little girl to make sure she was really hurt. The little boy didn't even attempt to walk over to his victim. He just began to walk away and would have done it successfully, if it wasn't for someone quickly grabbing onto his arm and tightly. He quickly looked over his shoulder, and saw a man with long blond hair and green eyes that were on fire with rage as the dragon breath around his nose quickly flailed out. His happy mood immediately was destroyed as the man yelled at him
"OK THAT'S IT, YOUR NOT GETTING ANY TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS. AND I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS LITTLE NUISENCE BACK TO THE STORE WHERE YOU FOUND IT!" then he quickly grabbed the gun making the little boy try to jump for it, but was too small to even get half way toward the toy. When he finally gave up he stuck out his tongue and closed his eyes to scold the man. Beyond angry at this point the blonde haired man was about to drag the boy home when heard someone talking franticly in a panicky tone. He turned around to its source to find a boy with blond spiked up hair next to a little girl who looked knocked out with some snow on her forehead.
"COME ON OPEN YOUR EYES!" the man was smart and saw where the young boy had stood and did some mental imaging and drew a conclusion. He shot her with his snowball gun and actually hurt her. He glared down at the boy
"Oh good job Ienzo" he said sarcastically then dragged him over to the girl, he resisting every step of the way.
He knelt down to the girl and looked her over. He wasn't a medical student but from the fact that her chest was still rising indicated that her heart was still circulating blood meaning she was still alive. Not noticing him from the beginning, Ven looked up at the man with blond hair and asked
"Uh…. Can I help you?"
"No, but I can help you. There's a small infirmary building right down the street, if you follow me and take the girl with you she should be alright" Ven quickly picked up the girl and followed the man down the street.
The whole time Ienzo kept trying to get the toy gun from him, of course just failing over and over again. When they were in front of the building the older man pointed his hand toward the appropriate building.
"And here it is, and may I deeply apologize for my young friend's actions" he said giving Ienzo a nudge to say 'sorry' but failed at getting him to do that. Ven shook his head and said
"Thank you, and you may want to keep a closer eye on him Mr.….?" the man felt embarrassed for not telling the young man his name
"Oh my apologies, I am Even and this trouble maker is Ienzo. I do apologize even further because we must be on our way, tell the doctor that any expenses made through your little sister's care shall be charged to his lordship" he said then turned around and dragged Ienzo back to the castle.
"Wait… she's not my sister" Ven said a bit to late as the man walked off with the little troublemaker. He just shrugged it off with the little girl in his arms and walked into the building.
In the building there was a desk with a young dark brown haired girl behind it. Behind her was six beds, three on each side of the building with clipboards in front of them and at the very end of the building was a counter with various medical items like syringes and bottles of medicine. The girl glanced up at Ven and immediately dawned a shocked look when she saw the little girl in his arms
"Kairi!" she got up and quickly sprinted around the desk and looked at her in Ven's arms. She looked at Ven with a raised eyebrow and a still semi apparent look of shock on her face
"Who are you?"
"I'm Ventus, but call me Ven for short. She got hurt by some boy who shot her with a snow ball that had ice in it. I tried to wake her up but I couldn't get any response from her" he explained as the girl took Kairi from him and brought her to one of the vacant beds. She quickly went to the back of the building and looked through some cabinets for something.
Ven felt compelled to stay next to this little girl and could see that her eyes were twitching and heard her make tiny noises in her throat. Then her mouth opened and she faintly whispered
"Sora"
"Huh?" Ven asked to himself as the girl came back with a dish of water and a clear bottle with some kind of deluded clear rocks. Ven curiously watched as she sprinkled the rocks on the plate of water while the smell of something strong and rancid filled the air. He quickly covered his noise and squinted his eyes to keep them from tearing
"EWWWWW what is that?" Ven asked in a nasaly voice.
"Smelling salts you big baby" she said as she brought it towards Kairi's noise and wafted it around. Her eyes began to twitch even more as a look of disgust went across her face till finally she shot up and covered her noise like Ven
"Eeeewwwwwwwwww!" she said aloud as the girl silently giggled then put something over the plate to seal in the stench. She quickly grabbed onto Kairi and hugged her
"Thank goodness you're alright" Kairi was very confused, she didn't know where she was or who the boy next to her was or why he looked relieved.
"Uh…. Teal how did I get here?" she asked her friend who loosened her grip around Kairi and looked into her cute blue sparkling eyes. Ven raised two of his fingers to interject
"Uh I can explain that" Kairi looked over to Ven with curiosity In her eyes. Ven spent the next couple of minutes explaining how Kairi got to the infirmary and how she was hit on the head by Ienzo, who she knew and thought of this as him being typical.
"….and that's how you're here" he finished. Then Teal got up from her bed and walked over to Ven and patted him on the shoulder
"Well thank you very much for making sure my little friend was safe" she said as she leaned down and kissed him on the cheek to thank him. Ven blushed to a berry red color, to which Kairi giggled at. Teal walked over to the desk and went for the phone to tell Kairi's grandmother where she was. Kairi looked at Ventus with her big cute eyes, making Ven grin and ask
"What'cha looking at?" Kairi grinned then blinked her eyes
"My hero"
