The Resurrection
The first chapter of a long story. Enjoi!
"Where do you want him?"
A tall man holding a small body asked an old woman. She turned and looked over the corpse then pointed at a small bed in the far corner of the little cottage. The man nodded as he walked over and laid the body down.
"When will you be done? Tomorrow I'm hoping."
"Ye cannot rush these things or the personality will not be the same as when he was alive."
After finishing she waved him off so she could get to work. Locking the door, the woman walked over to the bed and studied the lifeless body that was in it. The man had informed her that he had died a year and a half ago of a bad wound. This was obvious since the wound was a large bite right under the left rib cage. Two similar wound were on the left arm a little further than the elbow. He had also informed her that his name was Hiei and was once a demon but had been cursed and now a human.
The woman got to work stitching the wounds up and preparing the herbs. The pages of a book were flipped to a resurrection spell and she began to read. The spell read, she took the herbs and rubbed them along with some fresh blood over the chest and abdomen. Having that done the witch doctor continued rubbing the mixture over the neck and the wounds on the arm. She then placed both hands above the solar plexus and mumbled a few words which resulted with the boy's body to jerk and his lungs to gasp for breath. His eyes opened wide and his right arm grasped the woman's sleeve.
"Calm down and breathe!"
Hiei relaxed after getting a few giant gulps of oxygen, but kept his grip. The woman pulled her hands back and snatched back her sleeve. She watched the boy fall into a deep sleep before she turned to continue with the rest of her chores. After a few hours Hiei stirred and opened his eyes. He looked around and saw the woman.
"Where am I?"
Without turning around the woman answered.
"In my house, in my bed and in my forest, that is where ye are."
"Who are you and how did I get here?"
"Oh my, so many questions this strange boy is asking of me. How will I reply?" The woman turned around to face him and smiled, showing her yellow ragged teeth. "Shall I answer with a name or shall I answer with my title?" Her smiled turned into a puzzled look as she debated with herself.
"A name, title, it doesn't matter just answer me!"
"Now, now that is not how ye should treat thou mother."
Hiei starred he couldn't remember anything about himself and so didn't know if she was lying. He starred with a blank expression which led the woman to smile.
"Ye have no such memories of life? Therefore thou sleep'st so sound."
Letting out a sigh Hiei rolled over and pulled a blanket over him and soon fell fast asleep. Soon after the boy, the woman did too fall into a deep slumber.
