Honestly if he had to be truthful to himself, he had no desire to take her to that old shaman Genkai. ~~~she left her there knowing what was happening and did nothing~~~
Ignoring his own disdain for the Gaki, he continued anyway, her moans of pain fueling him to go faster.
Arriving much quicker than he would have liked, he slowed his decent irritated at the fact that her student was still on the shrine grounds. Ignoring the human, in favor of focusing on the demon with blue hair that came running his way. as his grip on Naohi tightened he called forth the spirit of fire. "ona I have no idea what makes you think I wont set you ablaze."
"Please lord shaman I mean no harm to your charge. Master genkai called for me, I am a korime, I can heal her." ~~~he is very powerful, how are his flames not hurting the child.~~~
"where is Genkai?" ~~~I see no lies coming from the blue haired Yuki Ona and at least she is female~~~ staring down at the half naked girl in his arms, his eyes softened, as she snuggled into him, yes she would be his queen one day, the only person he could trust in this world was her.
Stiffly he handed Naohi over to her, his eyes cold as the ice that she made. "if any harm comes to her I will send you to the pits of hell and allow the fires to consume you for eternity."
Hearing enough, yuske jumped in. "hey now, I don't care who this brat is to you, that's no way to talk to yukina"
Before Hao had the chance to attack Yuske for calling Naohi a Brat, Yukina blasted the spirit detective with a cold wave of ice, a hard glare in her normally docile eyes."
"Yuske! That is no way to speak about an injured child, a spirit no less"
Smirking at the frozen detective, Hao turned his attention to the old woman coming up the stairs. "well I brought her like you asked. Heal her so we can be on our way"
~~~~It was awful, I could smell the infection on the little spirit from where I stood~~~ carefully walking up to Yukina, what she saw made her stomach churn. Laying in the Korime's arms, was a bloody mop of midnight hair tangled and over grown, angry gashes oozing puss and fresh blood littered her starved frame. Cheeks sunken in, showed years of undernourishment, even Toguro was sick at the sight of the child.
"no"
His anger spiked, ~~~that Ona thinks I am asking her, I will not be told no~~~
"woman, I care not that you are the master of this shrine. That is my Naohi and you will do well to remember I am the one who rescued her, while you and your guardian left her to die."
"she is in no condition to travel it will takes months if not a year for her to regain her strength" Her aged eyes turned sharply to the Young Shaman.
"H..a..o – ,a" came the gurgled whispers of Naohi. Struggling to open her eyes, panic began to overtake her as she realized she was not in the arms of her Hao.
Screaming in pain, Yukina dropped the child to the ground as a blinding pink light erupted causing her flesh to burn away.
"Naohi.. im here calm yourself." Leaning down, to calm the frightened Spirit, ~~~what was that power, she is able to harm others with out being tied to a shaman,~~~
"Hao, where are we? Im so cold" grabbing on to Hao's bare shoulders she whimpered as he lifted her up.
"we are at your Obaasans temple, I have brought you here so that she can heal you."
Pools of silver blinked in surprise, ~~~Obaasan's temple, then that means this was not a dream. I really am in the arms of Hao sama…OH NO I hurt some one~~~
Wiggling out of his grasp, she crawled over to Yukina, "I am sorry miss lady, you scared me… I can fix you"
Nodding her head she held out her injured hands, wincing as that same pink light enveloped her again. This time though there was no pain. "you, healed me?!"
Every one was stunned, if she could heal Yukina surely she could heal her self.
"My little Spirit, can you heal yourself the way you did Yukina ?" Genkai, had to ask she has not seen that type of power in a very long time.
Sitting on the ground, Hao's cloak sheltering her small frame, she looked so small and fragile. Her bloody locks shook as she silently said no. "I can only do that magic once, it takes me a long time to get more magic in me…so I save it for when, master would go to far…but I hurt miss lady, so I had to fix it."
~~~She is so pure and innocent, why would she sacrifice her own means of healing for that demon. But at the same time that is what I love about her. ~~~
"you will need to become strong in order to travel with me, so we will be staying here for a while in order for you to recover." Hao left no room for argument, not that he would get any for she had allowed all the pain to take her to the land of dreams.
To be continued.
