After the Fight

Panting heavily, I crawled over to Asuka, who was now a human and looked a little stunned. "Are you okay?" I asked her. She was now like my little sister, and I couldn't handle losing someone else.

She nodded, "Ya, I'm fine, just a little dazed. Are you okay? You're limping!" She leaned over and looked at my leg.

I shrugged, "It's no big deal, I just twisted my ankle is all. I'll be okay, nothing that I can't just walk off." My mother had always just told me to walk off any injury. It was like because I was a half breed I wasn't able to be hurt as easily. I never knew what it was like to have a sensitive mother. My father was the sensitive one.

"Maybe we should wrap it," Asuka suggested, interupting my train of thought, which was probably for the better. I didn't need to be thinking of my life back then; it was too painful.

Asuka would not be persuaded otherwise, so I let her wrap it. While she did so, I looked around the rest of the group. We hadn't taken any serious injuries. Gray was the worst off with that gash in his chest, but he wouldn't allow anyone to treat it, as he was too busy worrying over Dani's scratches. Gray was the most interesting to me because he seemed to feel immensly guilty no matter if it wasn't his fault that Dani was hurt. His eyes were filled with pain and sadness.

Sky was over with Lucy, who may have broken something. This was not good. All these injuries were setting us back. Lucy needed some real medical treatment. But, it was dark now, so we wouldn't be moving anyone for awhile.At least we had found Kara, that was the silver lining here.

We built a fire and we all kind of went off on our own corner and stared off with our thoughts as company. It was Asuka fell asleep quickly beside me, which was just as well. She deserved a good rest.

Looking around, I didn't see Sky. Getting up, I went to the mouth of the cave and found her sitting on a flat rock conveniently sitting not too far from the cave.

I sat next to her and waited. She would talk to me when she was ready.
