Twins for a lifetime (Singla, Midnight)

Hinode opened her eyes. She was sprawled on the ground, a headache creeping it's way into her head. She looks at the wounds on her body. She would have a bad gash on her right leg as well as several scratches along her arms and torso. Her dress would seem to be intact, only a little smudged here and there with dirt and wet grass. She looks up to see the damage she caused to the tree. She wanted to climb to the top to get a better look and ended up slipping on a branch and went tumbling down.

Hinode tried to stand up and the pain caused her to cry out and fall over. She would hit the ground hard enough to knock the breath out of her. She laughs to herself, thinking about the times she almost died in battles and now to be done in by a tree. She hears faint noises of people's voices and footsteps. She draws one of her three pronged daggers and makes her way slowly to the voices with a limp.

Sahtan twitched feeling some sort of pain that wasn't hers. She tapped Gozu slightly on the shoulder saying "Someone is hurt out there." She turned to Demona with an in pain smile "When I get better. I am gonna beat you." She lied back completely down and started petting Gabriel.

gozu nodded his head hearing something. "Demona keep an eye on Sah. Make sure she eats somethimg" Gozu told her. Demona nodded her head and gave Sahtan the rice balls.s he wasn't keen on not letting her sister do things for herself. she was a tough girl in Demona's mind. But demona sat at the ready.

"Hello..." Gozu said. He realized he was standing there shirtless and in black dress pants. he felt underdressed. Hearing something moving in the bushes. He followed the sound. He didn't want to go far from the girls. But then he paused seeing a wounded woman. sHe looked in really bad shape for a pretty girl. Seeing the weapons he kept his witts about him. With a kind smile, he walked over to the young woman. "Hello...I...I mean...I am a doctor, are you in need of assistance? my friend said she heard you." He saw the marks on her body. "Who did this?" His smile disappeared as he was more worried about what was going on out here.

Hinode looked at the shirtless man and began to blush slightly. She listened to the man and put away her weapon but kept her guard up. "A-Alright..." Hinode would simply say. She would slowly approach the man, but collapse at his feet. As she begins to lose consciousness, she can remember falling from the tree and just laughs at herself on the inside at her stupidity.

Gozu looked at the girl's red face, she was cute. but he looked at her worried about her well being. Watching her collapse, Gozu dropped down and scooped her up as she was falling. Holding her in his arms the wounds on her looked pretty bad as he knew he could fix her up. but not fully till they got to Vermilion. "Its gonna be okay. What is your name? Come on you need to stay conscious right now." gozu told her with a kind heart warming smile, his tone rather soft. walking back carrying the girl.

Demona saw Gozu coming out of the trees onto the road holding a young blonde woman in his arms. looking at her, demona smiled happy that he found the person and that they weren't under attack again. "You keep bringing back hurt people I swear." Demona laughed. Gozu smirked as he placed the young woman on the back of the wagon on some of the cushions near the edge. "Hi, I'm Demona."

Hinode, now half-awake, would say "The na-.....me's Hinode." She looks around and sets her eyes on Demona. She tries to return a hello, but she ends up going out. She falls unconscious as her head droops to the side of her pillow. She dreams about the tree. She dreams of falling from the tree into darkness and then everything goes dark.

Sahtan looked at Gozu as he brought in the injured woman. Sahtan knew what had happened using her ability to read peoples minds. It was really useful when she wasn't allowed in one area. Sahtan stared at her knew bunk mate as she lay there unconscious. Now she was stuck with a stranger again. But this time she couldn't do anything about it.

demona looked at her sister. "Be nice. You need to make more friends. Hey come on, it will be fun. We can meet so many people." She laughed at her sister as Gozu got on the wagon putting a coat on he started treating Hinode's wounds. "Hello Hinode, I am Baltor Gozu. I am a doctor, just relax. Demona head straight to vermilion. quickly. I will have to stitch up their wounds there." Gozu told her, he went back to treating Hinode's wounds. They didn't look too bad once they were cleaned.

Demona looked at her sister. "Don't have a pretty boy feeding you anymore. hehe" She teased her sister as she made the horses start going. she made it go a little faster than before. careful about the bumps.

Sahtan turned her head towards her sister and grabbed a handful of rice with her good arm. She raised it and sent the rice flying straight into the back of Demona's head. Sahtan started laughing as the handful made contact. She stopped laughing as Gabriel jumped onto Sahtan's stomach and started yipping. She let out an oof and then push Gabriel down. "Oh now you play hero Gabriel."

Demona laughed as her sister threw rice at her. Keeping the horses moving she grinned at her sister. and tapped her twin's wound as pay back. Looking ahead she could see the outskirts of Vermilion since the sun was setting. it was a days ride, alot faster then walking. Looking at her sister though she was still worried.

Gozu got hinode's wounds all stitched up. Seeing the city he could tell they were close. "demona when you find an inn pull into it. I'll pay for the suite." Gozu smiled, he had a few friends in town. Looking at Sahtan, he checked her wound seeing that the bleeding had stopped at least. Turning to Hinode he tapped her on the shoulder gently. "Hey you need to wake up. You can't sleep when you been this hurt. not yet at least."
