"SAN!" Ni's angry shout jolted the youngest brother out of his slumber. Lifting his head and blinking his eyes, the left head looked over at the right. Sighing heavily, his brother grumbled, "Your turn to be on watch. Don't screw up." Nodding quietly, San watched as hs brother went to sleep. In between the two of them, Ichi snored. The left head hadn't a clue how he didn't wake up when Ni shouted. Making himself comfortable while the moon, nothing more than a thin sliver, shone directly above the crater, he settled down for his watch. Since the sky was clear of clouds, the moon's light, though not much, illuminated the rocky inside of the volcano.

Observing every nook and cranny of the volcano he and his brothers were sleeping in, San heard a painful whimper. Remembering they weren't alone, the left head turned to the right. Hiding in the shadows behind a sharp pointed rock, Rodan was the cause of the noise. Though he couldn't see the large prehistoric reptile that well, the dragon could see his orange blood. It smelled fresh too. On closer examination of Ni, San noticed it was all over his brother's jaws. No doubt that he had attacked their roommate while he and Ichi had been sleeping. Pity impaled his heart. The youngest brother knew that his brothers wanted revenge over their defeat. He wanted some too. But that didn't mean he wanted to torture someone. He thought that Ichi had meant there was another way of getting revenge. Sighing, he stole a glance over at the two sleeping heads. Making sure that they were asleep, he stretched forward as far as his neck would allow him.

Curled up into a tight ball behind a sharp pointy rock, Rodan was crying himself to sleep. An hour after torturing him nonstop, Ghidorah decided to go to sleep. Of course, they had assigned watches to make sure he didn't escape or murder them while they slept. Ichi had been first. The Fire Demon hated how his ruby red eyes burned into him. After awhile, it was Ni's turn. Once he was sure that both of his brothers were fast asleep, the right head had taken pleasure in attacking him. By the time his watch had ended, Rodan had new wounds and ones from their earlier attack reopened. His left wing had a huge tear in it. There was blood, his blood, everywhere. He dreaded when it would be Ni's turn again. The night was only halfway over. Crying his yellow eyes out, Rodan didn't even notice that the guards had been switched until something nudged him. Startled, he whirled around and lashed out with his claws.

"That was uncalled for..." San mumbled, three scratches on his nose. Black blood slowly oozed out. However, the dragon was already healing up from it. A few seconds later and there wasn't even a trace of the injury. Lowering his head down to Rodan's level, he dodged another strike. "Easy, I don't want to hurt you," he whispered reassuringly. Gently grabbing the prehistoric reptile by his crest, the dragon dragged him out of his hiding place before he could protest. Seeing the torn left wing, he leaned down and gave ot a lick with his forked tongue. He repeated this action several times. Uncomfortable, Rodan hissed, "Get away from me!" For extra measure, he lifted his wings and whacked the dragon in the face. His right shoulder screamed in agony. However, the pain in his left wing had vanished. Confused, he looked down to find the tear stitching itself up. Staring at in shock, he didn't even notice that San was licking his right shoulder until he felt no more pain there too. Watching as the dragon licked the scratch on his forehead, he mumbled, "How... how are you doing that?"

"Don't tell my brothers this but... I'm able to heal others' injuries," San replied, rasping his forked tongue along Rodan's aching back. All the cuts and scrapes healed up while the bones that made up his spine shifted back into place. The King of the Skies gasped softly as he felt them pop. Reluctantly allowing the alien species to lick and heal his wounds, he laid on his back, his head turned away. He wanted to hate every second of this. Unfortunately, he found himself enjoying the little grooming session. It was comforting. He had to use all of his willpower to not purr. Satisfied as he watched the last cut seal up, San turned his head so he could look the Titan in the eye. Ruby red met golden yellow. Smiling quietly, the dragon remarked, "I really do like your scales. They're very nice." Surprised, Rodan looked away as he rasped, "Thank you..."

Biting his lip as he glanced over at his brothers, San did something that surprised both him and Rodan. Reaching forward, he nuzzled the Titan's cheek and whispered, "Get some rest." He then backed away. Getting over his shock, the prehistoric reptile crept back into his hiding spot under the watchful eye of the dragon's left head. Hearing the Titan snoring quietly in the shadows, San smiled quietly to himself while his heart pounded in his chest.
