*(Y/N) (L/N) POV*

I felt myself in darkness for what felt like months until I was woken up by sunlight. My vision was slightly blurred as I was getting up slowly until I felt someone pushing me back down. 

"Stop, you shouldn't move too fast, or you'll hurt yourself." I heard a voice. My vision was getting clearer after blinking a few times before I realized I was in my room. I looked around and saw Akame with her hand on my chest.

"Hey, Akame," I greeted her. I popped my neck a bit before turning to her once again. "How long was I out?"

"Two days," Akame replied, and I was surprised I was even out that long. "Everyone was worried when you didn't wake up yesterday. Especially Leone, the Boss, and me."

"I'm sorry I made you all worried," I apologized. I moved myself up a bit and leaned against the bed head. "I'm going to need more training so I don't pass out again."

"Agreed," Akame agreed with me. "You went unconscious after saving Sheele."

I immediately froze up when Sheele's name was spoken, and I was getting worried about her.

"Sheele... what happened to her? Is she okay?" I asked with worry in my voice.

"Sheele is fine and alive," Akame replied which I sighed in relief. "But she's in a coma after you healed her, and the Boss said you unlocked her Aura? How did you do that?"

"It's a thing on Remnant," I replied while looking at my hand. "We can unlock other's Auras, but we have to use our own Aura to unlock them, and it can be very tiring. Unlocking Sheele's Aura must have used up a lot of my Aura and I was still recovering from the fight with Hekatonkheires."

"I see... Lunch is about to be ready soon," Akame said as she got up but looked back onto me and planted a kiss on my cheek. "Thank you... for saving Sheele."

"You're welcome, Akame." I replied to her thanks as she gave me her soft smile and walked out of my room. I sighed before getting out of bed and changed into some light wear, but I was still recovering a bit which made it a little harder putting on my tank top. I looked around and saw my outfit with my weapons on the table. I smirked as I wrapped Grand Chariot onto my left-side waist and holstered the pistol from days ago, calling it Crassus, onto my right-side waist and left my room.

Walking down towards the kitchen, I spotted Tatsumi and Akame in the kitchen making everyone's lunch for the day. I also saw Mine sitting at the table with her left hand bandaged up and her right arm in an arm sling. I walked over and sat next to Mine.

"Hey, Mine," I greeted Mine as she had a smile for a moment, but it quickly went away. That was until I felt her step on my foot. "Okay, the hell was that for?"

"That was being out for two days!" Mine shouted at me as I heard Tatsumi chuckling in the kitchen. I looked at him with a "you got something to add" expression.

"Just glad to see you back up again." Tatsumi replied to my expression until I felt two arms snake across my shoulders and something pressing against my back.

"Leone..." I said as I looked and saw the Lioness giving me her signature smile.

"Hmm?" Leone replied with a hum.

"Really? It's only the afternoon." I said to her and she almost looked hurt. ALMOST being the key word here.

"Aww... How could you say that when I took care of you when you were out? I'm hurt..." Leone replied as she was playing the "I'm hurt you would say that" card. That play made me smirk remembering Yang usually playing that act with me.
