Someone I Care

Chapter XX

"By the way, Kyokotsu, where's Bankotsu-aneki?" Jakotsu asked in a bored tone. Kyokotsu just shook his head, not knowing. "Hey, look over there, someone's running toward us," Renkotsu said. 

Jakotsu turned toward the direction Renkotsu was pointing. Squinting his eyes slightly, Jakotsu said with curiosity, "Hmm... ah... that's Bankotsu-aneki... Hmm... he looks like he's carrying someone". 

"You're lying, Jakotsu, hehehe..." Mukotsu mocked. "No, I'm not lying, he really is carrying someone," Jakotsu said again. 

Kyokotsu turned toward Bankotsu, who was running, "Isn't that (Y/n)-chan?" he said. 

"Suikotsu!" Bankotsu shouted, hearing his name being called. Suikotsu immediately approached Bankotsu. 

"Don't ask too many questions, change side, and check (N/n)-chan", Bankotsu said. 

Suikotsu then transformed to his good side and checked (Y/n)-chan. "Bankotsu-san, we need to find a safe place first, as (Y/n)-sama's condition is currently critical", said Doctor Sui.

"Aneki I know where, follow me," said Rekotsu. Bankotsu lifted my body again, then ran after Renkotsu, and the others followed. 

They found an abandoned hut. Renkotsu and Suikotsu quickly cleared a small area in the hut and Bankotsu laid me down. Doctor Sui then checked my condition further. 

Bankotsu and Renkotsu waited outside, while the others followed. "Bankotsu-aneki," Jakotsu called out. 

Bankotsu turned toward Jakotsu and the others. "What really happened to (Y/n)-chan?" Jakotsu asked. 

Bankotsu sighed, "When I found her, she was fighting the Snake Demon", Bankotsu said. Suikotsu came out of the hut. "So, how is (Y/n)-chan doing?" Kyokotsu asked.

Suikotsu fell silent, "(Y/n)-sama... (sigh) 3 of her ribs on the left side are broken, 2 of them are cracked, her right leg is dislocated, her right arm is broken, there are many scratches and bruises on her body and neck, this is quite serious, there's a deep cut wound on her left waist and back," he said. 

"Tsk," Bankotsu's face was annoyed, "I've cleaned and stitched the cuts and bruises on (Y/n)-sama's body, but..." Doctor Sui stopped speaking and thot seriously. 

"Hmm... I need your help, first Mukotsu, find the plants on this list, second Kyokotsu, can you bring more clean water, and finally, I need 2 people to help me inside, hmm... Bankotsu-san and (turning toward Jakotsu) Jakotsu-san, could I ask for your help? "asked Suikotsu. 

Bankotsu and Jakotsu nodded. "Then the others can help Mukotsu or Kyokotsu," continued Dr. Suikotsu. 

Dr. Suikotsu then entered the hut, followed by Bankotsu and Jakotsu. As they entered, they saw me struggling to breathe, gasping for breath, sweat and blood mixing.

Jakotsu was very surprised to see my condition, while Bankotsu remained silent. "I can only clean her wounds and give her a temporary bandage for now, until Mukotsu brings the medicinal plants I asked for", said Dr. Sui. 

"Alright, I'll put (Y/n)-chan's broken bones back into place. I need someone to hold her body", said Dr. Sui. Bankotsu and Jakotsu then went to their positions to hold me. 

Doctor Sui placed a roll of cloth in my mouth. "Why you put that thing in (Y/n)-chan's mouth?" Jakotsu asked curiously. 

"To prevent (Y/n)-sama from biting her lips or tongue", Doctor Sui replied. "Alright, I'll start fixing the bones, hold her body," Doctor Sui continued. 

As he began, I felt pain. I moved my body, and Bankotsu and Jakotsu quickly held me down. I bit the cloth tightly, groaning in pain. I wanted to scream, but the cloth in my mouth held back my voice.
