Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Sneezy, Rikki, Doz, and Hanz

I laid on the bed in the Infirmary with Alicia. After Nome basically forcing herself to control me in my moment of weakness, I remembered the big toll it took on me to allow her free. And the hits I took from all the matches weren't any help with my pain.

Alicia was given extra clothes and was patched up nicely and carefully.

She now wore a black shirt skirt, a baby blue tank top, and black flats. Her dark brown curly hair in two low pigtails.

"Domi-chan..." Alicia suddenly looked down at her lap. The happy atmosphere about her dissipated into a shy one and I wondered what would've been the cause.

"I know you're hurt and all...but can you tell me a story?"

"Domino? Can you tell me a story?" Spoke Eeez.

My eyes widened as the image of Eeez doing something similar when he asked that question flashed before my eyes and I thought I would burst into tears at the memory of the boy I called 'little brother'.

Eeez...

"Yeah...sure.." I waved her over and padded the area next to me, telling her she could lay with me if she wanted to.

And she did. She laid beside me with a shy smile and her cheeks dusted with a pink hue. Snuggling up closer to me I wrapped my arm, that didn't have the IV in it, around her as I began my story.

To be honest I didn't really have to think of it. I knew the one story she would have liked.

"Once upon a time, back when the world was much more brighter and wars weren't so common. There lived a small boy, in a fairly large castle.

He was always sickly and had dark circles under his baby blue eyes that seemed to still carry a careless and loving glint.

His name was Prince Sneezy." She giggled at the name.

"Though Prince sneezy was always sick, he was able to make quite a few friends with the villagers of his kingdom.

He made friends with the traveling black smiths that often walked by the castle on their way to work.

Their names were Rikki, Doz, and Gauze. They were a goofy bunch and often cracked jokes with one another and the villagers. The prince met them when he had snuck out of the castle and wondered about the village streets.

He came across them making beautiful works of art from swords.

Sneezy didn't like violence or the instruments used for it but looking at the goofy men he somehow wondered, "Why would these silly men make something so evil?" and he didn't realize he had voiced his thoughts.

Not until the three men turned to him.

Sneezy didn't seem frightened as he walked over to the three, "What are you doing?" Sneezy asked before he sneezed.

Rikki spoke up first, "Making swords little boy, what are you doing here?" And sneezy just shrugged. "Why do you make swords?" Sneezy asked. "Its how we make a living kid." Answered Doz.

Sneezy looked confused, being the pampered boy he was he didn't know what he meant by that.

Although Sneezy was still a little naïve for his age he continued to go see these iron smiths for one more week and needless to say...the sickly prince grew on the smiths. 

One day through the black smiths were leaving town." Alicia's eyes widened.

I chuckled as I continued. "Sneezy was quite saddened by the thought of never seeing his only friends again and the smiths noticed. So on the day of their departure Rikki spoke up to the prince, "Wanna come with us, boy?"

Sneezy's face lit up, "ya really mean it?"  Rikki nodded to confirm the boys joy. So Sneezy accompanied them. "You don't sneeze a lot kid so why is your name sneezy?" Doz asked. "It was the first thing I did as a baby so my parents named me that." Sneezy replied.

"Well we're changing that. Your name is Eeez now okay?" Rikki said. Sneezy- I mean Eeez nodded happily as he took hold of his friends hand.

From then on the four travelled together. A happy little family of their own." I said.

I looked down at Alicia and a fond smile reached my lips as she slowly closed her eyes and began to sleep. Her head on my stomach.

Eeez....Tyki... and The guys.....

"Why do I miss all of you so much...?" I mumbled as I stared out the window and tears fell from my eyes.
