“It is not as nice as my original home, but I will tolerate it until my original home is safe to live at again.” Pink stated, slowing to a walk now.
“It certainly looks like a comfortable spot to me… but I suppose it’s not quite as appealing when it comes to defending it.” Cranberry added with a bit of concern on her face. Pink made her way into the cave, coming back out after a moment and nodding.
“This place will do well enough as a new home. Now then… I believe you said something about being able to help with my wounds?” Pink reminded Cranberry, moving back over to her.
“Alright, I’ll need you to take off your various bandages for this to work at its best.” Cranberry explained to Pink.
“Okay, I’ll follow your instructions on this one.” Pink replied, wincing slightly as she ripped off the bandages on her leg, taking plenty of fur with them.
Cranberry winced just looking at the awful wound on Pink’s leg, wondering how she could still walk on it, “I’ll get to work right away… that looks immensely painful.”
“I stopped noticing it a couple hours after I woke up.” Pink replied, stretching her leg a bit.
“Okay, I’d like you to lie comfortably on your back and try to relax as best you can. This will probably feel very unusual to you.” Cranberry warned a gentle tone in her voice.
Pink stretched out on her back just as instructed, closing her eyes and taking a few deep breathes, “Okay… I’m ready.”
Pink kept a close eye on Cranberry’s actions, watching as Cranberry moved to Pink’s side and crouched beside her, taking her head in her hands, “Alright, get ready…”
A strange, but violent tingling sensation suddenly shout through Pink, it felt almost like a cold fire had started on her leg, but it only lasted a couple of seconds. Again and again the tingle and flames came, four, five, and six times until Cranberry set Pink’s head back down and nodded. “There, you should feel much better now, and especially after you get some sleep.” Cranberry stated before getting to her feet.
Pink got to her feet as well, looking her leg over in wonder as she noticed the wound had fully closed without even leaving a scar, leaving very tender skin where the wound once was, “That technique… it is amazing! My wounds have mostly healed and even some of my burnt fur is growing back swiftly.”
Cranberry smiled, pleased by the result, “It is called ‘Resta’. It is used to heal your own wounds, or the wounds of nearby allies. The worse the wound, the more castings it will take to close, and the more awkward it is going to feel when used on your wound.”
Pink closed her eyes for a moment thoughtfully, “I… I think I can replicate it… but I believe it is more than just a hand movement… I think you are also doing something with your mind as well. I would require teaching.”
“Well, I would be happy to try and teach it to you.” Cranberry replied, giving Pink a friendly smile.
“Not today… not today. I think I shall just get something to eat and then get some rest. It has been a very tiring period, even if the evening is only just dawning on us.” Pink answered, shaking her head at the offer. She picked up her item pack that Raiden had set down and moved towards the cave, turning at the entrance, “Today… you’ve earned this much. I will not attack you on sight, and you may visit me if you wish, just if you bring anybody else they must be escorted by one of you, and if any of you, even one of your guests, betrays me I shall come after all of you. Is this understood?” Cranberry, Striker, and Black Raiden all nodded all paying close attention to Pink now.
“This means we can visit you whenever we like right?” Cranberry asked with a hint of eagerness.
“You may… I would like to learn more about you humans. It seems that humans will inevitably be my enemy for the most part, and it is easier to deal with an enemy if you know more about that enemy.” Pink exclaimed, growling slightly.
“I wish things didn’t have to be like this… but I will be willing to teach you what you like.” Raiden spoke up, frowning a bit knowing that Pink was pretty well correct. Striker and Cranberry nodded as well, agreeing to Raiden’s offer.
“Okay, I would like to be alone now. I suppose I will see you three another time.” Pink stated, looking to each of them in turn.
“Very well... I’ll see you later… Pink…” Cranberry finished, the party turning to leave Pink to herself, walking towards the setting sun in the distance.

Pink woke later during the night to the sound of thunder; a significant storm had started in the sky. Rubbing her eyes sleepily, she walked outside to lean against the entrance to the cave, watching the rain splash against the ground and the brilliant flashes of light in the sky. Life alone is very simple thing. Survival is all you really need to think about. Those three… they may complicate my life a bit, but that is inevitable with all these humans tainting my home world. Pink looked up into the sky, losing herself in the swirls of dark clouds billowing above her. A species like no other, an exception in any situation, vicious, unpredictable, and careful… this is how I am… but that may finally change sometime soon.
Pink turned to go back into the cave, yawning sleepily before curling up onto the human device under her blanket. No one’s ever seemed to care about me before. Who would’ve known that saving that human’s life would’ve made such a difference in my life. I’m not sure what is going to become of it, but I’m sure I will find out soon enough. After a few moments Pink settled into a deep sleep, waiting for the dawn of the new day.

Chapter 7 Teaser:
The hunt has failed, but the rescue mission has succeeded. Cranberry, Striker and Black Raiden are both working for, and working against Vivian. They seem to have managed to form a fragile relationship with Pink, but what will become of all this? How will Vivian react to the failure of the hunt? Only time will tell. Eventually all the questions will be answered.
