"............"
Chris looked back to see Kamika and Kyrainia running just behind him, as they headed for the lake where the digivices said Taira was. He hoped she was all right. Tekumon was flapping along behind all the humans, tired out from the battle. Foxmon was running alongside him. "Foxmon, you think Taira's okay?" he called.
Foxmon was following behind Chris at almost the same Pace. She knew something was wrong "I don't feel any strong feelings......I hope she is Okay" She said in a low tone.
" She probably will be..."
Kamika muttered. "Please don't let it be bad."
Chris suddenly burst through the trees to see a lake, and skidded to a stop, looking at his digivice. It showed the dot that represented Taira off a bit to the right. He stopped for a second to catch his breath and to let the others catch up.
Foxmon stopped in her tracks. "I think I smell her"
"And that would be where?"
Kamika hurried to catch up to Chris and waited for Foxmon to answer.
Foxmon blinked and shifted her face to the right and took a sniff "This way" As soon as she finished her statement , the fox type Digimon took off running.
Chris sweatdropped and started running after Foxmon.
Kamika panted and started running too.
Taira was slowly coming back to reality. Her eyes opened and briefly shut as the pain hit her again. Foxmon could see her fallen partner near a tree. "She's Hurt!"
Kamika gasped as she saw Taira. She ran up to her as fast as she could "Are you okay??"
Chris followed Kamika and looked at Taira. "Ouch... Kamika, she's ripped up pretty badly on the side. What can we do for her?" Chris asked, wincing.
Taira opened her eyes half way and saw the blurry images above her "Don't...." The girl laid on her stomach, not wanting to move.
Kamika panicked. 'What to do? What to do?' She thinks. "Taira? We have to do something about that." She whispers.
" Well you know guys....it might be smart to BANDAGE her wound!!!"
"It would be but we have nothing to do that with!!"
"Otherwise she could bleed to death"
The girl opened her eyes fully and focused on the people above.
"I know that! Do you have anything?" She questions.
"Hey, she's waking up!" Chris said
Kyrainia took off her vest. " We can use this. Somebody should go and get some water to clean the cut with."
Being injured she gripped her side and clinched her eyes closed.
Chris ran a few yards to where the lake was, and thought frantically for a second about how to get water to Taira. Then he realized what he had to do. He grabbed his bandana and pulled it off, revealing dark brownish-blond hair. He held the bandana in its folded position, scooped up some water in it, and ran back to where the others were.
Kamika blinked as she watched Chris run back with his bandana off. 'He took off his bandana? He has brownish-blond hair?' She thought. She turned back to Taira.
"So what should I do with this, Jay?" Chris asked.
Kyrainia ripped her vest into pieces (yes it's cheep material)"just hold it"
Chris nodded and...held it.
Kyrainia dipped one piece of the vest into the water and carefully started to clean the wound, getting all the dirt out of it.
Foxmon only watched in horror 'Ish she gonna be okay!?"
"Yeah, she'll be fine"
Puttimon watched along with Kamika. 'That human seems to know a lot about cuts.' She thinks.
After cleaning the wound, Kyrainia then wrapped it up with the rest of the vest. "That's about as good as we can do." "Damn I hate blood" she muttered.
Kamika sweatdropped. "How can we move her? We can't just leave her here." She says.
Chris head Kyrainia's last statement and wondered what she meant, but put it aside for the moment.
Taira winced once before opening her eyes again. She touched her head, still laying down. "My goggles!?"
Kamika looked around. "Goggles? I didn't see them anywhere."
" Don't worry, we'll find them. But right now we're going to move you. Just rest. Everything will be fine"
Kamika nodded.
Taira relaxed and looked at everyone "Thanks..."she said softly.
Chris said, "I'll go find your goggles!" He ran off. After looking around the beach for a few minutes both ways, he finally found her goggles, unbroken and hanging from a tree branch. He grabbed them and headed back to where the others were. "I found them!" he called.
"Good for you....now we've gotta move her"
Kamika nodded.
"But how?" Chris asked.
" The only way to move her that I can think of is to carry her.....very carefully"
Chris nodded, and stuffed his bandana in his pocket. There would be time for putting it back on later.
Taira blushed and smiled softly at Chris "Thanks, for my goggles.......they mean a lot to me" Foxmon blinked "Be careful!"
Chris smiled back at Taira. "No problem!" He asked Kyrainia, "How exactly should we do this?"
Kyrainia sighed. " I'm not entirely sure....I mean, what would be the best way to carry her? We don't want to hurt her anymore"
"Well, we would have to keep her flat, I would think.... so... any ideas?"
Kamika sighed. "The only way I can think of is constructing something but we had no materials." She says.
"I don't think there's anything around here to make a stretcher out of..... And that would be the safest thing for her"
The small fox Digimon sat next to Taira. "Why not use the Digimon and Make material!"
" How so?"
Foxmon smiled..."Have us Cut down some small trees and vines and like.......make something"
Kamika nodded. "Great idea!"
Chris also nodded. "Tekumon?"
Foxmon raised an eyebrow "What do you say Tekumon?"
Tekumon turned slightly red and nodded. "I'll be back soon! Come on, Foxmon!" Tekumon flapped off into the forest.
Foxmon smiled "Watch my digidestined for me......" she said as she ran behind Tekumon.
"Puttimon, do you want to go help?" Kamika asked.
"Sure!" Puttimon said, running into the forest behind the other two Digimon.
"Mushroomon.....go help them"
A few minutes later the Digimon started coming back with various supplies to make a stretcher
Chris smiled. "Thanks, guys!"
" Okay, lets make this thing"
Kamika nodded. "Right!"
So in a few minutes, they had made a decent stretcher.
"Guys, come on, let's get her back to camp!" Chris called.
Foxmon smiled "Let's"
"Yeah that would be smart." Kyrainia noticed the blood seeping through the bandages.....
"So let's get her on the stretcher." Chris said.
" We need to change the bandages when we get back though"
"Ouch.... yeah, you're right. We'll have to see how we can stop the bleeding, too..." Kamika said.
Taira was clutching her goggles and was loaded onto the stretcher type deal.
Chris nodded and got at one end of the stretcher with Kamika. Tekumon grabbed on to a side with his robotic arm, and Kyrainia took the front.
Foxmon wanted to help and held up what she could with her head.
Puttimon climbed onto Kamika's shoulder and helped support a bit of the weight. Kamika said, "Let's get back to camp quickly, before the bleeding gets too bad!"
Chris nodded. "Right! Let's go, guys!"
"yeah, we need to go fast"
"But not too fast!" Chris said.
".............." Taira laid silent.
" Well, true"
They all lifted up the stretcher and started moving through the trees, walking carefully so that the stretcher didn't tip or joggle, hurrying as fast as they could manage towards the campsite. Foxmon was ecstatic, they had made it back to camp.
Soon, they came upon the campsite and put the stretcher down. Needless to say, the others' reactions were quite surprised.
Christo looked up as Chris and Kamika brought Taira in on a stretcher. "Come on, Labramon." she said, and walked over, Labramon following. "Need any help?" she asked.
Fiona heard a noise and quickly opened her eyes. She looked up and there was Chris, Kamika, and Kyrainia... carrying something on some sort of stretcher. She stood up and ran toward them, leaving Isthian behind. When she got to them and finally got a good look at the stretcher. "Oh my god! It's Taira! Is she okay?"
