PATH TO MY (ONLY) UTOPIA

Chapter 9 - Getting Out From The Forest

"Hey Kion, Let's take a rest bit, I can not walk anymore," Said Aleisha with a trembling voice, not only that her breath is very unstable and sweat is falling from her face.

In contrast to her, Not far in front of her Kion seem to be really fine. His breathing was very steady and there was only a little sweat on his face compared to Aleisha. Without turning back or slowing down, Kion gives her a reply.

"No, we have to continue walking."

"But, I... Really can not... " Said Aleisha with a low and trembling voice. She stopped walking and used her left hand to lean in a tree for a little rest, but when she saw that Kion doesn't stop and their distance getting farther.

She forced her body to move to catch up with him, but when she took just one step, her legs lost strength and she fell heavily onto the ground.

"Uhhh... " She close her eyes and groaned softly feeling the pain that spreads through his body especially from his left leg.

"We can rest a while here."

Hearing that, Aleisha open her eyes and looked ahead where she saw, Kion now is walking slowly toward her.

"Can you, please help me to get up?"

"Of course." He then picked her up then made her sit with a tree as a backrest.

"Thank you."

Kion nodded in reply, he then open his bag which hanging on his shoulder, and then looking for something for a time being. After least than two minutes, he took out a transparent glass bottle the size of his palm with green liquid inside it.

He then sits right in front of her, and without permission, he opened Aleisha's skirt until her entire leg from the knee down was clearly visible.

Her leg was white and even if now there are many grains of sand, mud, and some of the little scars, it still looked very good.

"What are you doing?!" Said Aleisha with a high voice. She quickly moves her hands and pushes Kion with her full power, but Kion is still in the same place.

"Don't move too much, it will make me too hard for curing your wound," said Kion with a calm voice.

"Curing my wound? Is that true?" Said Aleisha in low voice. She stopped pushing Kion and looked straight at him.

As for her answer, Kion only nodded.

"You are not going to do something lewd?"

"Of course and what you something lewd?"

"That is... Never mind, ok I trust you, but please don't lift my skirt too high, it is embarrassing you know," said Aleisha with her face turning red because of embarrassment.

"Sure," Said Kion. He then releases his grab from her skirt make it fall down to the ground. Aleisha then used her hands lifting it up to her knees, then holding the top and bottom of her skirt so it doesn't open.

"Now, you could do it."

"Ok." Kion then open the bottle in his hand then dipped two fingers in it then apply it to every wound on the foot.

"Uhhh... " Aleisha closes her eyes for holding the pain every time Kion hand makes contact with her scar. Kion himself doesn't seem to care about her reaction, he keeps slowly moving his finger covering all of her scar with green liquid that has a smell like a plant. After fifteen minutes Kion completely covered all Aleisha wounds in her legs with green liquid.

"It is done now," said Kion calmy. He then closes that bottle and puts it back in the bag. He then touches a tree not far from him and makes some water get out from it thus using it to wash his hand from the green liquid.

Aleisha opens her eyes and then looks closely at her legs that are now in someplace already covered with a green liquid, after looking for some time being she moves her skirt to completely cover all of her lower body.

"We will rest here for half an hour before continuing our journey."

Aleisha lifted her head and look at Kion, she then said, "thank you."

Kion nodded and take an apple out of his bag, he then offer it to Aleisha and thus said, "want some food?"

"Yeah, thank you." Aleisha take it and then immediately ate it. Kion also take out one apple for himself and ate it.
