Writer: Sorry that last chapter was short! So sorry! I just didn't have enough of what I wanted to do for that chapter. Perhaps I could have added a little more detail, but I'm too lazy

Akina: I second that

Writer: Meanie! Anyway.. On to the chapter!

Chapter 7: Hell or Purgatory

Akina watched Lighting walk over to the magical supplies in the tent and open them up. Lighting took a moment to rummaged in the supplies before returning to where Akina perched. She had a bottle of something Akina couldn't read, tweezers, a needle and thread, a cloth, and some bandages.
"Um.. What are the tweezers for?" Akina asked, not sure if she wanted Lighting to answer her. Lighting looked up at Akina before that glint in her eye appeared again.
"To clean your wound" Lighting replied before opening the bottle of liquid she held. Akina opened her mouth to say something but before she could utter a word, Lighting poured the liquid over Akina's wound.
"Holy mother fucking bitch! You asshole!" Shouted Akina, somewhat surprising Lighting. Akina dug her fingers into the table as the pain continued or ripple through her leg.
"Oh relax, it's just a little rubbing alcohol." Lightning said before pouring a little onto the cloth she held and dabbing it around the wound. Lighting cleared away all the mud on the sides of the wound before using the cloth to clean on the wound. She received many painful grunts for the blond before she finished.
"Since this is pretty deep, I'm going to stitch it up" Lightning said to Akina who was biting her wrist to lessen the pain that had pulsed through her leg.
"Just hurry up!" Snapped Akina, making Lighting look up in annoyance. Akina watched as the pink haired woman fumble around with the thread and needle before inserting the needle into her skin. Akina looked up to ignore what was going on with her leg, but it only made her feel worst.
"Don't get snippy with me" Lightning said as she pulled the skin together, receiving a responding flinch from Akina. She looked up to see the blond not even looking at her. She sighed to herself and continued stitching up the deep wound.
Once Lighting finished, Akina tried to stand on her feet right away but she lost her footing, and stumbled upon Lighting, and grabbing ahold of the pink haired woman's shoulders. Lighting grabbed on to Akina's waist, and pulled her up to her feet. That was when they where closer than they have ever been yet with Lighting looking down on the blond who was still grasping her shoulders. Blushing, Lighting removed the blonds hands and put her back on the table.
"How reckless can you be?" Lighting asked turning away from Akina, and avoiding the blonds gaze. She didn't want the younger woman to see her blushing from their slight stumble.
"S-sorry.. I wasn't thinking" Akina mumbled still shaken up from her stumble. Lighting turned her head just a little bit enough to see the blond in to he corner of her eye.
"Not thinking, like that, is what gets you killed" Scolded Lighting before walking to the entrance of the tent. "I'll be waiting in the car. This time I'm driving. You're going strait home, got that?" Lighting asked, once again looking back at the blond.
"Roger that mam" Akina said winking and smiling, changing the mood with her bipolar personality. Lighting turned and glared at Akina before she left the tent. This gave Akina time to think to herself without worrying about anything else.
Akina got off the table and made sure she stood on her feet this time. Pain rippled through her leg once again, but she shoves that feeling away, and made her way out of the tent taking her time. She saw Lighting in the corner of her eye, chatting up some stranger she didn't know so she just walked off to were the car awaited her arrival.
Once she reached the PSICOM car it was locked. Rolling her eyes, Akina sat on the trunk and waited for Lighting to finish her conversation. Akina could quite make out what they where talking about, but she was curious. "I'll ask her later" She mumbled under her breath to herself.
"Here already?" Lighting said as she walked up to the car and unlocked the black vehicle. Akina sat up from laying on the car and smiled.
"Why not?" Akina said with a daringly smirk. Akina must have amused Lighting because Lighting smiled. She actually smiled without hiding it. Akina blinked confused till something under her ass moved. She squeaked and got off. Akina turned to Lighting and glared playfully. The pink haired woman popped the trunk on her.
"Oh very funny" Akina said sarcastically before she opened the trunk and closed it before she made her way to the passenger side and opened the door to the same leather seats she had sat on before. Akina sat down as Lighting joined her in the car and plugged the key into the ignition. She twisted it with one little wrist movement and the car roared to life.
They both buckled up and Akina leaned over to turn on the stereo. She flipped past the channels she didn't give a care for till she got to 104.7 KCLD. Once of the most perverted songs came on, Talk Dirty To Me. Lighting glanced at her annoyed before Akina started singing these nasty lyrics. She even filled in the blocked parts with the swear words used in the song.
Lighting reached over to turn off the stereo before she got a dark glare from the blond. Confused, her hand slowly dropped, letting the music play. Akina's glare disappeared as she got absorbed into the music.
The music played for several minuets with the occasional radio add about many other things like discounts and a once and a lifetime opportunity to go to some expensive place Akina seemed interested in. Other than that, they didn't talk the whole ride.
Akina turned off the music and looked at Lighting. "So.. Before when you said you weren't dating anyone.. How come?" Akina asked Lighting with a curious expression.
"Because I'm not, and I wouldn't have the time" Lighting said keeping her eyes on the road and avoiding the gaze of the blond sitting next to her.
"You should. You're amazing after all. You got the looks, the body, the.. Maybe not that.." Akina said with her gaze completely fixated on Lighting. Lighting glanced in the corner of her eye at the blond. She didn't know what to say.
"So how's Kito? I bet there's a story behind that" Lighting asked trying to change the subject. The look on Akina's face changed into a sour glare.
"She's Annoying and doesn't get how I feel about her.. She's clueless as prey to a predator. I can't say anything because my parents where the once who engaged me to her through her parents" Akina said roughly, and turned back to the road no longer wanting to say anything. She hadn't even turned on the music for the rest of the ride. Lighting felt guilty inside, somehow she said the wrong thing and upset the Happy-Go-Lucky blond.
"You can drop me off here" Akina said finally, and Lighting brought the car to a halt to let out the blond. Akina gave Lighting a fake, sweet, and convincing smile before closing the car door and walking into her apartment direction.
It wasn't entirely fun just walking home alone. At least Akina got time to think till she noticed what she had promised Kito. Frowning to herself, Akina crossed her arms and sighed before twirling around on her heel and headed into the direction of her favorite bar.
