The Mysterious Island of Lost Treasures

Chapter 10

Eventually, I was almost completely healed, so I didn’t need the crutches anymore. I could do most of the stuff that I was able to do, but still felt a little bit sore. While Kyo and I were hunting, I started humming a song that I remembered from home that I loved.

“What are you humming?”

“It was I song I used to listen to all the time at home called ‘My Song’ I think. It was by someone named Iwasawa from Girls something Monster… I think. I remember the music, but I can’t remember any of the lyrics.”

“Sounds like a good song.”

There was a long silence after that. I saw Kyo’s hand and thought to myself; maybe I should hold his hand. I mean, he did tell me how he felt about me, so maybe that might be okay. What could go wrong? As I reached for his hand, he ended up grabbing my hand. I smiled a bit and looked at his face. He looked like he didn't care, but his eyes told me he was really happy. As soon as I began to enjoy the moment, we heard a loud rustling in the bushes. Way to ruin the moment.  Kyo got in front of me with his sword-like stick and guarded me. I was able to protect myself, but maybe Kyo was afraid something bad would happen since I still wasn’t completely healed.

A giant cat jumped out of the bushes and tried to pounce. Kyo seemed to be very good with his “sword,” so I felt safe. I tried to help with my spear, but Kyo yelled, “Sakura, go hide somewhere!”

“No, I need to help!”

“You’re still not completely healed! Go hide somewhere! I’ll be fine!”

I groaned, ran over to a big boulder, and hid behind it. I was still able to see Kyo and if he was okay. He was fighting the big cat, and seemed to be doing just fine. I thought I was worrying too much, but I wasn’t. The cat tried to claw Kyo, but got its claws stuck to his shirt, then threw Kyo really far. He hit a tree and then slid down the side of it, considering he was thrown so high.

“KYO!!!”

I ran towards him to help. He saw me and yelled, “Sakura, I’m fine. Don’t come any closer!”

I ignored what he said, grabbed his sword, and fought off the beast of a cat. Kyo seemed scared for me. He just wanted to keep me safe. I was able to kill the cat, so at least we could have something for dinner.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Kyo tried to stand up, but he could barely stand.

“Stay down. Let me see.”

“It’s nothing, really.”

“Look, you can barely stand. Take your shirt off.”

“Why? You pervert.”

“I’m not a pervert, it’s for medical reasons.”

He took his shirt off… and he had abs. ANYWAYS, he had a big scratch on his chest, and then his back was all cut up and had a huge bruise on it.

“Look, I’ll go get you the crutches. Just stay here and lean on the tree.”

I ran back to the shelter, grabbed the crutches, and then ran back to Kyo. I helped him back to the shelter. When we got back, I had to run down to the stream to wash my bandages so we could use them as bandages for Kyo.
