Kurumu POV

I've been dragging Jesús for about 15 minutes. I just left the crater that Jesús made. I haven't flied because I'm afraid of it calling the chimeras' attention.

"Jesús, are you still hanging in there?" I asked to see if he still was alive

There was no response but I kept on walking trying not to waste any time. After a couple minutes of walking…

'Look out behind' Jesús said and a chimera appeared. A bull with wings, and by the way it was moving it didn't look very friendly

'Just put me down and fight, I'll be ok.' Jesús said encouraging me to fight and leave him alone

The chimera started towards us, so I put Jesús down to fight it.

"You better not be dead when I'm done with that thing." I said and started flying to fight the chimera and drive it away from Jesús.

The chimera reached me and tackled me making me fly unsteady.

I enlarged my nails to attack. I first tried catching up to it and cut its wing that would make it go down to the ground and slow it down majorly.

When the chimera saw me right behind it did some sort of summersault and got behind me. It tackled me again but I got it by the horns and took advantage of the distance to cut its wings off.

The chimera roared and started falling. Before hitting the ground I let go of the chimera and kicked it down into the floor. The chimera got up, even after the fall, and started rushing me to thrust through me with its horns but the damage it took made it very slow and I cut all four legs off of it and finished it up.

After finishing the chimera up I went towards Jesús and picked him back up to keep walking.

"Are you still there?" I asked and there was no response

"This time I want an answer."

No response again. I checked for any sign of life and his heart beat was even slower than before. Really close to death.

"Oh no. I gotta hurry" I said to myself and grew my wings again to start flying.

"I didn't want to do this 'cause it would probably call the attention of the chimeras but I think there is no helping it now!" I said and picked him up again and started flying.

After about 20 minutes of flying there was a house, more like a mansion, and flew to the door.

I knocked on the door and a man answered.

"Are you Kurumu?" the man asked

"Yes. How do you know my name?" I asked back

"Your friends are inside and said you would arrive here. I presume this is Jesús." The man asked moving him.

Jesús obviously didn't respond.

"Yes, that's him. Can you please take me to the others? He need's help quickly" I said on the verge of tears

The man took us to the others right away.

"Hey there you are!" Tsukune said

"What's wrong with him?" Moka asked pointing at Jesús

"Did he fall asleep on you?" Josue asked and everyone started laughing

"Jesús is dying as we're speaking. He told me to bring him to you and haven't heard from him since. He could be dead by now." I yelled and started crying.

"Whoa! What? Care to say that again?" Josue said a bit freaked out

"He overused his powers and passed out and probably by now died." I said "He told me you could help."

"Then he generated that lightning storm? This idiot he always tells me not to overdo it and he goes and does it himself." Josue says a bit angry "clear the couch and put him there" he said and we did as told.

"This may look a bit rough on him but it's the only way I can help." He said and charged a ball on his hand, the ball alone emitted a strong Yokai energy. And then he hit Jesús with it on the heart. The ball pierced through his chest and started integrating into his body. After a couple minutes Josue stopped and dropped to the ground in front of him.

"That was just to give him a jump start. Truth is when we use all of our energy, and/or stamina we drop and won't' be able to move, or will struggle to do so. But since this was the first time for us using Yokai power at this level during battle this might have caused his heart to slow down and almost caused him a slow and terrible death. I myself when I fought the wolf-man chimera felt like my life was being sucked out of me, so I can picture what Jesús went though." Josue informed

"Does that means he's gonna be Ok?" I asked

"Sure. He just needs to rest for the rest of the day and he'll be up and running tomorrow morning like nothing happened." Josue said trying to cheer me up "I can see that you're getting a bit attached to him. That would probably mean a lot to him." He said and then asked the man something. The man then bowed his head and left the room.

"What did you tell him?" I asked

"I asked him to tell the owner of this place that you two arrived and that we'll need to stay for the night." He said and then started walking away "you should all get some sleep Jesús will want to leave early tomorrow."

"But it's not even dark out." Moka said

"Jesús and I go by the time of our dimension and he'll wake up at 7:30 AM of his watch" Josue replied pointing at his wrist.

I looked at it and it read 8:57 PM.

"That means you all have about 10 hours to sleep and regain your strength." Josue said and left.

"If what he said its true maybe we should get some sleep" Tsukune said

Moka and Tsukune helped Mizore up and started walking out Yukari followed right behind them and then Kokoa. Josue then came back and put some blankets down

"You should rest up too. Even though he's gonna be ok we still shouldn't move him. So let's just put some blankets on him and let him rest." He said and stretched a blanket over Jesús and then left again.

'I won't move until I see him up again I need to thank him face to face.' I said to myself and just lay down on another couch next to Jesús' and went to sleep.

Josue: [like a maniac] "HE'S ALIVE! HE'S ALIVE!"

Jesús: "cut the Frankenstein references."

Tsukune: "he's just happy you made it"

Josue: "not exactly, you see since I put energy in him and he's alive again, it kind of applies."

Jesús: "true. Anyways thanks for reading-"

Kurumu: "and please leave some comments."

Everyone: "See ya next time"
