Again, diving right back in...

The blonde-haired girl suddenly whirled and dashed back to where she'd left Hiei.

"Begone, vile creature!" Jessie commanded, drawing her katana and slamming it into the fangirl's skull, all in one smooth, lightning-quick movement. The fangirl shrieked and exploded, pink goo going everywhere. Jessie hadn't used her reverse-blade sword.

"Ewww… pink…" Hiei and Jessie both muttered, grimacing. Jessie wiped the blade and sheathed her sword as Hiei stood, swaying slightly. Jessie looked at him, her silver-blue eyes sharp.

"Hiei… Excuse me, but I need you to remove your shirt…" she said quietly, fighting the urge to blush.

"Huh? Why?" he asked, still swaying a little.

"Because I need to make sure that pink goo didn't help the poison spread."

"Hn."

Without any more questions, Hiei sighed and peeled off his ragged black tank top, revealing the sculpted muscles of his upper body.

"Well?"

Jessie gasped. "Dammit… It's still spreading!"

The grey had spread over Hiei's entire left arm and was starting to spread across his chest. He staggered and almost fell.

Jessie yelped and caught him before he could hit the ground, then picked him up, with only a little effort.

"What the hell are you doing??" he yelled, struggling. "Put me down, dammit!!"

Jessie rolled her eyes and started off to join the others.

"I told you. I can't take care of this poisoning. The only one who can is G5's medical officer, Elise."

Hiei kept struggling. "I have never been harmed by such a tiny amount of poison!" he yelled loudly.

The grey had spread to his right shoulder, and was beginning to creep towards his neck.

"If the poison reaches your brain, you're dead, Hiei!" Jessie snapped, bursting into the clearing ceilinged by the belly of the G-Jet.

Elise's head snapped around, but she kept fighting as fangirls pounced.

"Jessie! What's wrong with him?" she yelled, zapping yet another fangirl.

"Fangirl poison! You've got to help him, Elise!" Jessie ran toward the ladder, Hiei having gone limp in her arms. She had to hurry…
