Can't Stay Awake
Kira barely opened her eyes. Her vision cleared up and she tried to look around.
"Kira!" Someone drew closer to her. The girl whined as they drew close. "Hey, it's me. Nikko and I missed you." Kira tried to sit up, her body unable to lift her head. "Hey hey, please don't do that," Kuro placed a hand on the angel's shoulder.
"Oh, Professor Byleth, Professor Manuela, my friend has finally awakened." Kira tried to look in the direction Kuro was.
"That's wonderful, it looks like the healing spells have worked." Kira finally lifted her head to see the blue haired figure from before. "How is Nikko?"
"He... can't stay awake. He's only awake for brief periods, but his fever has gone down."
"Good, good. Kira is that right?" The angel looked towards the one called Byleth. "It seems you came here the same way these two were. You're from a different world right?" Kira nodded, her wings shifted and she looked down. Her chest was wrapped in bandages and her wing also bandaged. A long black coat lay across her back, covering her top half. The room was small with two beds. A shelf full of bottles was across the room.
"Hey teach!" A voice came from the door.
"Come in Claude," a young looking male entered the room and closed the door behind him. "Remember where we found that girl in the woods? Well, I went back out there and found this near that same spot." He pulled out a long steel sword. The handle curved slightly and had two triggers on the top half. "This is one weird looking sword. It has buttons and other strange things on it." Kira's eyes widened and she moved.
"Oh my, is this yours?" She turned to Kira. The girl nodded and the Professor walked over to her, with the blade in hand.
"So she's finally awake? I'm glad our efforts have paid off." Nikko shifted and Kuro moved quickly over to him.
"Nikko! Hey," his eyes opened and he looked over toward her.
"Hi babe, it's okay," she clutched his hand. "Don't strain yourself."
"Is that Kira?" Kuro nodded and rubbed his head.
"She came here just a few days ago."
"H... how long have we been here?"
"I... see..." His eyes grew heavy and he fell asleep again.
"It's okay, rest. I'll be here with you."
