Jari: What a bad day to be in the woods looking for herbs. At some point all she felt was another person's rage. It worried her so she tried to get close, but the closer she got, the stronger it got. It was soon too much for her to take and she had to kneel, clutching her head and hoping that whoever was so mad would caln down. She heard a fight, angry yells and no matter how much she wanted to help, the migraine the anger gave her made it hard to see straight, let alone even stand up again. When it finally stopped, being replaced by despair, she was able to stand. While sadness wasnt fun to feel, it was better than anger. Being able to walk again, she only hastened towards the sadness. She finally made it to the clearing and what she saw made her pale. She ran over to kneel beside Spike and Midnight, "S....So much blood........." She looked to Spike, "Wh....What happened to her? ....To you?..........."

<InfernoNick>

Spike: He was too busy crying out all of his painful emotions onto his friend's bloodied body before he hearded someone, looking up from the bloodied frubbles and seeing the certain Gardevoir with teary eyes that are now back to normal...and a broken despair shown clearly on his face as he hiccuped. "J-J-Jari....i-i-i....M-Middy...I-I-I...I-I harmed her badly a-and said awful things to her...d-during the battle she wanted me to fight...j-just to...to..." He tried to explain which he sobbed a little. "Vent out all of my negative emotions...a-anger and everything that i've held back!" He shakingly held out Midnight's body to Jari. "Pl-Please...save her...i-i don't care if you can't understand me a-and leave me here to die...t-to my reopened wounds...o-or think i-i am a murderous monster...j-just...i-i can't have her die because of me...please save midnight...SAVE MY FRIEND!!!" He yelled out before sobbing loudly.

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: She was a bit disappointed, in both of them. While venting was a good thing, was it necessary to sacrifice themselves like this? But, it was too late to say anything about it. Her eyes glowed pink and she lifted Midnight up with her psychic , keeping her steady and in a comfortable position...as comfortable as an unconscious woman could be. She then looked to Spike, ".......Can...you stand?" She only ever had enough strength to carry one person with her psychic, if he needed carrying too.....well....she wished Fury was with her.

<InfernoNick>

Spike: He sniffled and wiped his face some with faint grunts since some sitches may have re-opened with the others as well. Once Middy is held by Jari, he slightly nodded and struggled to his feet, grunting a bit and huffing some and hiccuping. "Nngh...some of my wounds are re-opened...i've pushed too hard on this..." He grumbled softly. "..Just...go...i'll catch up..."

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: She frowned, "Im not going to just leave you behind..." She looked to him, then Middy before sighing and using Heal Pulse, hoping to give him enough strength...and to slow his bleeding, at least long enough to get to the medic hut where her stuff was.
<RyuKiraXKHX>Kisabot!roll 1d20
<KisaBot>» You rolled 1d20 and got: 12 ()

<InfernoNick>

Spike: By some mircle of sort, the pain of his open wounds have begun to subside and the bleeding slowed down..well, at least for now anyway since this is temporary. "Nngh...thanks...? L-Lets just...go now.." He said wiping his face off a bit before slightly starting to walk...sniffling along the way and looking down.

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: As she made her way back to the tribe with him, she looked over to him, ".........She isn't dead.....I can feel her heart beat." Faint as it was....and despite having not even touched Midnight once. "And she'll get better too, I wont let her leave us."

<InfernoNick>

Spike: ALong the way, he silently looked to his blooded hands and began having some regretful thoughts of his own actions he had caused on her which had him sobbing in silent. It had been a long time since he had something emotional like this...not since the past he had went through and lost his mother to the cancer that ate her inside while his father and brother were either captured or dead...it was really hard for him. He started to perk up on hearing Jari that Middy is still alive. "O...Okay...th-thats..good." He said faintly smiling which only lasted for a second since he's still guilty of himself.

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: She nodded then was quiet for the rest of the trip. At her hut, she set Midnight down on one of the cots, "You rest on the other cot, since she's unconscious, I'll work on her.....but don't do anything more than rest from now on....alright?" She looked at him with a serious and kinda scary look. She didnt like her patients making themselves worse, especially in her medic hut.

<InfernoNick>

Spike: Once at Jari's hut, he watches Middy get setted down. He looks down to the ground with a slight nod. "...Okay." He replied, not bothered by the scary look since he's too..emotinally broke and sad at this time. He went to lay down on the cot and softly cried.

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: She spent her time fixing all of Midnight's most major injuries and cleaning and stitching up Spike. When Spike was all fixed, as much as he could be fixed, she gave him some tea and berries to help him regain the blood he lost while she finished up with Midnight. The whole while, her hut was constantly alight with the soft light of heal pulse. It worked like an anaesthetic without causing drowsiness.

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: It was a while before Midnight regained her senses, but it felt like an instant. The first thing she noticed was the warmth and comfort of her surroundings. Her wounds and injuries were not nearly as painful as they should have been, and the thick, sticky cling of her own blood was gone, as if it had been cleaned away. She felt a gentle pair of hands coasting over her body, tenderly caring for her lacerations. This was not her father's treatment, but she knew who was responsible, and inwardly that knowledge made her smile. "...Jari..." she spoke quietly without opening her eyes just yet.

<InfernoNick>

Spike: During this time, he had been treated and restitched of his open wounds, once that was done he stuffs him to the berries he was given along with the tea just to ease his depression. It was the least he can do since he still felt guilty of himself...and sniffling. He didn't even bother to say anything since he's just being quiet to himself..and to his emotions.

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: Hearing Midnight, she smiled as well, "I knew you wouldn't give up that easy......" She looked over at Spike, "...." She'd leave him alone for now, Midnight should be the one to talk to him, "How are you feeling.....any place I might've missed?" Though she really doubted she missed anywhere.

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: "I don't think so...." It was hard to breath, but Midnight couldn't tell it it was her ribs or the bandages making it that way. She felt so comfortable in Jari's home that she barely felt any pain at all. "Jari.... have you seen Spike?" she asked quietly. "He...was with me in the woods... I need to make sure he's alright...."

<InfernoNick>

Spike: He slightly perked up when he hearded some talking coming from Midnight, she must've came to after a while. Though he felt relief, it didn't cheer him up quite alot. After all, he did harm her..thats devastating enough from him.

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: "He's here with us, his guilt has been msking it hard for me to work...but I dont think anything I could say would help......He seemed devastated that you were unconscious."

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: Midnight let out a slow breath. "I'm sorry..." she sighed, "I didn't mean to cause you any trouble.... " She finally managed to open her eyes, the soft glow of Jari's heal pulse being remarkably gentle on them. "Was he unconscious as well... or can I speak to him when you're done?"

<InfernoNick>

Spike: Not one single word was said from him...well, minus the sobbing and the crying but thats different. Can't be helped that he had inflicted so much injury on her out of rage...and said some nasty things as well in the process which seemed like he really meant it.

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: "I...dont think he's slept once.......he's been crying this whole time....."

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: "This whole time?" Midnight slowly turned her head to see if she could find Spike, "How long have I been here?"

<InfernoNick>

Spike: Spike had finally consumed the last berry and tea and decided to lay on the cot and hopefully cry himelf to sleep. Its the least he can do for now..which his wings had lowered much down sadly.

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: "I lost track of time with all the work I've been doing...." She looked over to Spike, he was still awake for the moment. She walked over to him and gently touched his shoulder, ".....Midnight's awake............dont....you want to say at least.....hello?" She didnt want to say make him seem like he has to apologize or anything, but she doesnt want him going to sleep so depressed.

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: Midnight sat up slowly, groaning a little. She felt like she could walk, but didn't know if Jari would let her. "....Spike?" She looked over at him, at his drooping wings. ".... How are your injuries feeling?"

<InfernoNick>

Spike: He slowly looked to Jari in silent before slightly looking over to Midnight, which seeing her now had cause more tears to shed some more and sniffle. "..H....Hey......a...a little hurt...e...except my...inside..." He said a bit choking on his words and wiping his face off.

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: ".........." She backed off to let them speak with each other, going over to make some tea for Midnight to also keep her from beconing anemic. The tea was also, like her heal pulse, an anaesthetic. Once Midnight had some, she could stop the heal pulse and let herself relax. It HAD been at least a few hours of heal pulse and non stop fixing up that she did today after all.

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: Midnight smiled softly as Jari brought her the tea, then gasped softly. The gash in her jaw made it painful to smile. "Thank you, Jari, you're too kind. Please go and rest yourself, now." She sipped the tea quietly before looking at Spike. "...Would you come and sit with me while Jari rests?" She wanted to see how Spike was feeling, now that he'd obviously had a chance to calm down, and once he had a chance to see that she was going to keep her word, and not reprimand him for what had happened in the woods.

InfernoNick>

Spike: Spike slightly looked down for a moment in ponderment before getting out of his cot and went over quietly...staggeringly. He slightly plopped down beside Middy and looked down. "........"

<RyuKiraXKHX>

Jari: She nodded to Midnight, "Drink carefully..." She went over, checking the light outside before she lit some candles. Once they were lit, she found a chair to sit in and stopped her heal pulse. The soothing light came to a stop and the only light left were the candles and whatever was left of the sun.

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: Midnight nodded to Jari as she went to sit down and rest. She looked up at Spike's face, and stared for a long time, thinking carefully about how she should begin. She didn't want to make him feel any more guilt than he already did, but she had to know if her plan had worked. "Spike... are you still angry with me?"

<InfernoNick>

Spike: Spike slightly looked to her for a moment and shook his head. "...N...Noo....I was....thinking the opposite of that...of you...being angry on...what i said..." He said sniffling a little.

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: Midnight reached over slowly to gently hold Spike's hand. "I'm not angry about anything you did or said, Spike... I told you that I would not reprimand you, and I won't break that promise." Now it was time for the moment of truth. "That being said, I have something to ask you."

<InfernoNick>

Spike: Spike felt the gentle hold of her hand on his which he faintly flustered..and held it a bit. "..Ri...Right..." He slightly looks to her again. "..Wh...What is it...?"

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: She gently stroked the back of his hand with her thumb, hoping she could help him relax. "After saying all those things, and letting out all that anger, getting it all off your chest.... doesn't it feel like a massive weight has been taken off your shoulders?"

<InfernoNick>

Spike: Spike's wings slightly perked and he looks up a bit in ponderment deeply if it had worked. After a while, he looks directly to her. "...I....I think so...despite i've...paid a horrid price..." He lightly laid a free hand on her messed up cheek. "...I've harmed you....so bad..it just makes my...ch...chest ache...knowing i've done this..." He looked down to the ground sadly.

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: "Spike..." The bristles of his red hair tickled her as he looked down. She gently tilted his head up, holding his face in her hands so she could look at him. "Spike, don't worry about me... wounds heal, I'll be fine with a little rest... the important thing now, is that you take a nice long while to enjoy this new-found relief. You should let it soak in while your injuries heal, and try to embrace it."

<InfernoNick>

Spike: His head was tilted up and looked to her against his will, not that he minded or anything. ".....I....I'll...try..." He slowly nodded to her on this.

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: "Thank you, Spike," Midnight let go of his face and let her arms rest at her sides, but she reached down to hold his hand one last time. "I'm glad I have a friend like you."

<InfernoNick>

Spike: "..Y...You're welcome....." Spike looks down to her hand and sighs softly, only to just held hers for a bit. "..M....Me too....and.....thanks..."

<Dj-Dirty-Bubbles>

Midnight: Midnight smiled and moved her hand up, gently placing it on the back of Spike's shoulder and guiding him to lay down with his head on her lap, gently petting the top of his head like her father would do for her when she was very young. "I promise to be there for you more from here on out, Spike... for now, I think we should rest, we've had a very long day." As she leaned back to rest her head again, her eyes slowly settled on Jari. "....All of us."

<InfernoNick>

Spike: Spike just looked to her while being laid down with his head on her lap, flustering on this. "..O....Okay...Midnight...." He said softly while trying to get comfy and slowly shutting his eyes due to the anaestitics effect getting to him until he was knocked out, but with a smile on his face. After years of being tormented and consumbed by every pain and burden he had carried...he had finally got it all out of him at long last...and is at peace.
