"Why are you healing me? Heal yourself!" I said with tears still cascading down my cheeks. I looked around and saw that he poachers had retreated for the time being. I looked around in hope of finding help. I saw no one.

"Suki, are we far from the village? We have to go back," I said through my sobs. I saw the blade once again and took it. A sheath was situated not far off and after a quick cleaning I sheathed the sword and slung it across my shoulders.

"They're gonna come back soon. For now, we have to get you back too," I said and I had Scarlet in my arms again.

"I'm sure i'll be fine this time don't worry," Scarlet chuckled and held in her urge to cough. "Well the good thing is, is that the poachers retreated..." scarlet really tried to lighten the mood and insure Nick that she would be ok.  

[Nick_austin90]

"We are still getting you proper treatment," I said near sternly then I averted the prior subject. "I wonder where Oliver went? I thought he was a jiu-jiutsu master. He should be able to fight too," I grumbled.  

[Rin128563]

"Ok i understand," she looked up at Nick and smiled.  

[Nick_austin90]

Half way to the village, I suddenly stumbled and Scarlet fell with me. I was shocked. Suddenly I felt weak and I couldn't move.

I told you not to react harshly...

I growled. "What are you doing Forest Guardian? Let me move," I said.

Nope...not until you calm down...Scarlet, are you alright? Do you need us to replenish your strength?  

[Rin128563]

Scarlet blushed but then focused her attention on the guardian, "Now that would be great." She then felt her wound heal and her energy back. She looked at Nick, "The forest guardian is right you know...you have to calm down....its ok now." She was worried but smiled anyways.  

[Nick_austin90]

I grumbled unintelligently under my breath and sighed.

"Fine. So how long exactly are you going to keep me immobile?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

Hmm...till you become your bubbly self again. You're way too grumpy now. As a punishment, you will not join the next fight...

"Why not?! I was just trying to help and who gave you the right to order me around? You're not my mother," I pouted.

I don't fit the role...but someone has to do it right? If not you would not stop. Lucky Scarlet was there to stop you...

I grumbled again and my face was pink.

My, my...what rosy cheeks you have..

The voice actually giggled. "Shut up."  

[Rin128563]

Scarlet laid there not exactly knowing what to do. She was still on the ground with Nick on her. She turned her face away not wanting them to see her blushing.  

[Nick_austin90]

"Are your wound gone? Is it healed?" I asked with worry lacing my tone heavily.  

[Rin128563]

"Yep nice and healed," Scarlet smiled and looked at him still blushing but less visible. "So are you calm now?"  

[Nick_austin90]

"I dunno. What does the Forest Guardian think?" I raised an eyebrow.

Nope...not yet! He has to stay even longer to convince us...hahaha

I really wanted to swear but thought better of it.  

[Rin128563]

Scarlet said to the Forest gardian but so that the others couldn't hear, 'You know your kinda punishing me.....this is kind of an awkward moment.'  

[Nick_austin90]

You can leave if you want Scarlet...we are just restraining Nicholas...you don't have to worry about him...

I sensed the Forest Guardian sating something.

"Hey, what are talking about there? I can nearly hear you," I said.

None of your business, boy...  

[Rin128563]

She still spoke to the forest guardian so that no one heard, 'well it's hard to do so since...oh i don't know ....since he's on top of me!'  

[Nick_austin90]

Oh...hohoho...

"H-hey, stop moving me without my permission!" I shouted and blushed yet again.

Well, you were on the lady so I had to move you. No harm done see...

Another giggle from the Forest Guardian.
