I held Mai's hand as she led me outside. We walked slowly, one foot n front of the other untl Ami stopped and whspered "He's here."
I could tell from her voce that she was close to tears and he was hurt badly. I reached one hand n front of me. "Help me fnd him."
I was led another few steps, then we knelt down and felt Kohaku in front of me. "Foolish of them to send you and I," I murmured. "We aren't exactly a dynamc duo."
I felt for Kohaku's face and my hand came away covered in blood.
"His nose is bleedng," whspered Mai.
"Thats all rght, we can fix it, can't we?" I asked, pulling a hankerchief from my pocket. "Now, I need you to wpe his face off for me and tell me if he's stll bleeding."
Wihtout a word, Mai took the hankerchief. "It's not bleedng anymore," she confirmed a moment later.
I gave her a small smile. "Good. Now let's sit him up and see if we can get him to wake up."
We pulled Kohaku up he sat slumped aganst my shoulder. "Kohaku," I called into his ear. "Kohaku, please wake up."
His head lolled to one side and I heard him whisper one word, "Natsumi..."
Mai and I sat in the silence left by the name.
"We should get him inside," I said. I stood, pulling Kohaku with me, Mai liftin his other arm as best she could. "Too bad he didn't wake up ... right, Mai?"
Mai was silent for a moment before answering, "Yeah, too bad."
