Back to Part 7
Arc 8:  Sleeping Sammy

Ramia's face flickered into Rumia's communicator.  "Rumiya!  I'm very 
busy.  Make it quick."

"Sis!  I found Pixy Misa and Pretty Sammy."

"Oh, that's good... eh, Pretty who?"

"Pretty Sammy, Tsunami's kindred spirit."

"What?  Tsunami has a kindred spirit?  Ah, who cares!  Bring them here 
for a briefing."

"Wait, Sis!  Pretty Sammy's sick, and I can't help her."

"Sick?   Ok, send me your location, and a cleric will come over."

"Thanks, Sis!"

Rumiya punched the coordinates and ended the call.   Misa tapped her 
foot impatiently.  "Well?"

"Sis is sending a cleric."

"~Great!~  When will he get here?"

Suddenly, a portal opened above them and something hurtled through.  
Rumiya and Misa barely managed to dodge. * Whump! *

"Ack!"  came from a tangle of robes on the ground.  Rumiya and Misao 
watched in confusion as a braided head emerged from the tangle.  Their 
eyes met the newcomer's.  "Is this Earth?" chimed a small, high 
pitched voice.  

"Yes."  answered Rumiya.  

"Oh good.  I'm Tsubaru."  Tsubaru got up and straightened the robes.  

"Which of you is Rumiya?"  

Pixy Misa walked up and whacked Tsubaru on the head. 

"Ow!  What was that for?"

"~Duh!~  I'm obviously a girl!  So that's Rumiya!"  Misa pointed at 
Rumiya with her baton.

"I'm sorry, ma'am.  Ow!"

"I'm not a ma'am.  I'm Pixy Misa!"

"Oh, so you're Pixy Misa.  I'm sorry, it's just that I've never seen 
Rumiya, and androgynous fashion is the hype in Juraihelm."

"Oh, really?"  Misa snuck a sly look at Rumiya.  "I wonder what you 
look like without the feathers."

"I'm a boy, ok!  And I look like one."

"Really?  Lil missy here thought that you might look as lovely as me."

"No, I don't!"

"Erhm, excuse me, but I'm a boy."

"What?!"  Rumiya and Misa stared at Tsubaru so closely, that Tsubaru 
took a step back.

Tsubaru blushed with embarassment.  "Ano, I'm suppose to heal someone, 
right?"

Rumiya and Misa led Tsubaru to Sasami's room.  This time, Misa 
transformed back to Misao to prevent anyone from entering the room.  
Tsubaru pulled off Sasami's blanket and laid his hands on several 
parts of her body.

"Do you have to do that?"  Rumiya blushed as he watched Tsubaru's 
hands.

"Yes.  Why?"

"Nothing."

Tsubaru laid his hands on Sasami's head.  His hands began to glow.  
They remained that way for about 15 minutes.  Then Tsubaru stepped 
away and flopped down on the nearest chair.  Rumiya rushed to his 
side.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm sorry.  I don't think I can help her."

"What's wrong with her?"

"This doesn't seem like a normal illness.  It's more like she shut her 
mind and soul to the world.  I tried my best to reach her, but she 
seems to have strong defenses."

"I see.  What can we do?"

"I can go back to Juraihelm and tell my master what I felt.  He will 
know what to do."

"Alright.  I'll help you get back."

A look of surprise lit up Tsubaru's face.  "Oh, I didn't realize you 
were that powerful."

"Err, no.  I'm not.  We'll have to go outside the city to a shrine."

"I understand."

"I have to talk to Misao first."  Rumiya turned and brought Misao 
inside the room.

Misao listened to Rumiya's explanation.  "When I return, I'll send you 
word and hopefully, I'll bring someone who can help."

"Thank you, Rumiya, Tsubaru.  I really appreciate your help."

Tsubaru blushed despite his weariness.  "I'm sorry, I couldn't do 
more.  Please don't worry, we'll try to find help."

"Goodbye for now, Misao."  Rumiya turned to Tsubaru and cast a spell 
to shrink him.  Then he picked him up with his claws and flew out the 
window.

Misao waved to them and turned to sit at Sasami's side.  She held her 
hand.  (Hang on, Sasami.  Help is coming.)

Once in Juraihelm, Rumiya escorted Tsubaru to see his master, and 
waited for him.  After 2 hours, Tsubaru emerged accompanied by an 
older cleric, who was probably his master.  Tsubaru cleared his 
throat.

"My master and I reviewed my experience.  He may not be able to help 
either.  He will go to the Hall of Enlightenment and speak to the High 
Priest.  I will send word when he finds out anything."

"I see."  Rumiya bowed deeply.  "Thank you for your help."

Tsubaru and his master bowed back.  Rumiya returned to his quarters 
and laid on his bed.  (Kami-sama, I hope they find something soon.)  
He silently prayed to all the kami of health, and in the process, fell 
Asleep.
