Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: Return (Completed)

Chapter 14 The Girl with a Pure Heart

As Azura woke. She found her green gaze fixed on the ceiling above her. Yet as she tried to move something heavy weighed her down in place.

Shifting so she could see what. Azura's eyes widen in shock. Plopped on her chest was a white dragon. 'How did....?' "Ah. Your up." A voice cut through her thought.

Glancing about her gaze lands on. "You've been out quite a while lass." 'Merlin.' The wizard said from where he stood.

"I'm guessing you're the one who treated me." Then the dragon shifts as he wakes. The young dragon looks up and lunges nudging Azura cooing happily. "Hey, hey, settle down." She laughs. Taking off the dragon lands nearby watching. His tail swings back and forth like a cat.

"So, how long have I been out?" Azura asked him a bit worried about how much time they've lost. "Ah, about two days now." The wizard told her.

Azura frowns a bit. 'Do we even have time for this?' She thought then looks around. "Merlin, where's Ventus and the other dragon?" Azura asked him. Merlin chuckles lightly. "Your friends are out exploring the town. I figured it would be better for them and for you." He explains.

Azura nods, understanding. Her guess, Ven and the dragons rarely left her side since they came here. "How about I see if I can get you a book to read. It will be at last two more days until your back on your feet fully." And with that Merlin poof away.

Azura blinks before plopping back down, "oh great, we don't have time for this do we, Sleet." Sleet cooked his head looking at her as the land and curled up next to her. Azura reaches out to stroke him.

"You know Sleet. I have a hard time staying still. This going to be long next 48 hours." She rolled over the baby Snow Fury putting her arm over the dragon. Yawning she closed her eyes. "L- let's... hope... not," she yawned the words had closed her eyes.

Azura stirred as Merlin and Ven talked. "She was awake about a few hours ago." He told the young boy.

"Knowing her she won't want to rest without anything to do. Trust me, last time she was ordered to stay put. Was when she caught a cold. She tried sneaking out and Aqua and Terra caught her twice." Azura gave a smirk still proud she managed it even if she was caught in the end.

"Hey don't blame me. Being stuck in my room and no training would drive anyone crazy." Az sat up fixing her eyes on them.

Ventus perked up. "Your up!" She smiles at him. "How are you feeling?" He asked her she grinned, "better than an earlier." Az told him.

"So what's for dinner?" Merlin and Ven chuckled. "Dinner will be done soon." Turning to leave, "the books are on the desk." He poofs away. 'I'm not sure I'll ever be used to that.' The two teens sighed and then Az reached for a book.

The house was quiet. Az looked at Ventus. "Ven I'm sorry," blinking he looked over at her. "Why?" He asked her. With a long sigh, she told him. "For making you worry about me. I should have told you how badly I was hurt right away." She quickly told him what happened before Mickey showed up.

Ven's eyes look alarmed. "Azura why didn't you tell me sooner? I'm your friend." His voice told her felt hurt. "I was going to, but you were having a good time talking with Mickey. Then the pathfinder activated and I guess it slipped my mind."

Her ventus-green eyes meet his own blue ones. "I never meant to hurt you in this way." "Next time I'll let you know." A screech echoed as the two dragons flew about. Azura and Ventus laughed as the two played about.

"Hey, Ven, sit down and I'll tell you what I've been up to since we separated." She offered him. Ven did just that sitting on edge of the bed. Azura started telling the Jungle story.
