Keiko woke up the next morning, with the birds chirping, and a light breeze blowing through her open window. She pushed the blanket off of her, stood up, and stretched. She walked towards the kitchen to make breakfast, her feet padding on the floor. When she walked through the door way, she saw Yukina already fixing the food.
"Oh Yukina, you're up early." Yukina, who was cutting leeks at the time, turned around startled, and managed to prick herself with the knife.
"Keiko, I didn't know that you were awake." Keiko then noticed the blood on Yukina's finger.
"Yukina, you're bleeding!" Yukina looked down at her finger in surprise.
"Don't worry about it; I'll go wrap it now." Keiko just shook her head.
"Come here, I'll heal it." Yukina merely smiled and did as she was told, walking over to Keiko's side. Keiko took Yukina's hand in hers, and started healing it, just as Hiei walked in to witness it.
'So, she's able to heal minor wounds right now. That is a lot of progress; I'll have to see exactly what she's capable of.' Keiko looked over Yukina's shoulder and saw Hiei starring at her face, before narrowing his eyes slightly. Keiko narrowed her eyes in return and huffed. Yukina looked at Keiko confused, and Keiko merely laughed it off.
"Yukina, I'll help you finish making breakfast." Yukina smiled with thanks. The two prepared breakfast together, as Hiei watched the two interact. They actually looked like two sisters Hiei observed.
"Onna, come here, I want to talk to you." Keiko looked over her shoulder, to see Hiei walking out of the room. She followed him into another room, and he closed the door behind her. Keiko stood patiently, waiting for Hiei to speak.
"How long have you known that you had spiritual energy?"
"About three weeks ago."
'So she didn't know until the demon attacked.'
"Stand still." Keiko watched as Hiei lifted his hand to the cloth that was tied around his head. Hiei looked into Keiko's mind with his jagan eye, and looked through her memories, about her training with Genkai. Also, while he was doing that, he was getting a feel of how much spiritual energy she had. When he stopped probing through her brain, Keiko slumped down, and into Hiei's arms, unconscious. Hiei picked her up, and carried her to her room, walking past Yukina who saw Keiko and went frantic.
"Hiei, what happened, is she alright?" Hiei could see the worry in her face.
"She just felt a little dizzy, and feinted, I'm sure that she just needs some rest for the day, and no training." Yukina smiled with relief, and went back into the kitchen. Hiei proceeded to bring Keiko to her room, when Yukina's face popped back out of the doorway.
"Oh, and Hiei?" Hiei turned around.
"Yes?"
"Could you let me know when she wakes up?" Hiei nodded and continued to walk down the hall. Yukina smiled at his retreating back, and then left to finish breakfast.
