Yoh started to try to pick up Riya and to see how bad her injuries were, however when he tried to get closer the kitten hissed at Yoh and raked it's claws across his arm.
"Um little kitty I kinda need to get Riya back to the house" Yoh said in kuchiku baby talk as he tried to get closer to Riya, but he failed miserably when the kitten bit down hard on his ankle.
"Itai" Yoh yelped as he stepped back from the now smirking kitten. "Amidamaru could you kindly come over here and help please" Yoh asked becoming a little irritated at his guardian ghosts laughter. "ok Yoh-donno I'll help you defeat the evil kitten" Admidamaru answered coming up to scare the kitten.
He was however terrible and unpleasantly surprised when flames appeared in front of the kitten. "Yoh-donno it appears that this animal posses a great deal of furiyoku, what should we do?"
"Um how about we try this" Yoh said as he stepped towards the kitten, "hey little kitten I need you to move" Yoh almost begged, and to his astonishment the kitten moved, though he could he could swear as it did, Yoh could swear the kitten was laughing at him.
"Ok Yoh-donno now that you got the kitten out of the way, how are you going to her home?" Amidamaru asked, curious to see what Yoh's plan was
"Hmm..." Yoh thought for a few minuets, "ah ha I'll carry her" Yoh said with his usual smile replacing his "serious" face (can you even imagine Yoh looking serious), though it turned out to be a bad idea when Riya turned out to weigh a lot more then he thought, he could only carry her for about 10 minuets before he had to sit down.
When he rested he felt something sticky on his hands, he looked down and to his horror saw it was Riya's Blood, "We can't move her like this" Yoh said as he scratched his head. As Yoh tired to think of a way of moving Riya without hurting her more Amidamaru trying to get his attention pierced his concentration.
"What?" Yoh asked, "Yoh-donno you might want to step to the right" Amidamaru explained, Yoh decided to humor the spirit and step to the right. Not a second to soon too, as one of the wild cats pounced on the spot where he had been not a second ago. Another cat joined the one that pounced and they both growl menacingly at Yoh. "O-Ok I'm, I know this looks bad but let me explain" Yoh put up his hands and took a step back from the cats.
They turned to each other seeming to contemplate his request, then sat on their haunches and listened as Yoh recounted what had happened that day, when he mentioned Fudo, one of the cats left, and he shivered at the thought of what they might do to Fudo if they caught him.
When Yoh was done the remaining wild cat when over and licked Riya's face, her eyes still did not open, and after a few moments of licks and purring the wild cat gave up and lay down beside her, it's expression one of sadness.
"She is just unconscious but she needs treatment fast, and she'll be ok" Yoh said in a quiet voice, not sure if he was reassuring himself or the wild cat.
Suddenly the wild cat got up and before Yoh knew it, the cat had slid itself under Riya and lifted her up onto it's back, then gestured to Yoh and the kitten to climb on. Once they were secure, no time to think twice, then they ran home at top speed praying that Faust was back and that Riya would survive the trip back. Yoh was so busy most of the way back trying to just stay aboard, he didn't notice that much of what the kitten was mewing sounded a lot more human then anything else.
When they reached the house, Yoh released his death grip on the wild cat and fell onto the ground. He got up though and shook it off and carried Riya (bridal style) with some difficulty and ran as fast as he could with the kitten at his heels. Yoh yanked the door open breathlessly and managed to get out to a surprised Faust "Riya-chan…is….injured" he said holding up Riya as best he could for Faust to see. "Bring her up stairs, Eliza go get my things" Faust told both Yoh and his spirit allie.
"Ok Yoh first thing I need to know what kind of shaman she is" Faust looked at Yoh very seriously,
"Um she is a….um….a spirit shaman" Yoh was sort of dreading the question because he did not know how Faust would react, to his surprise Faust just asked Eliza for different vials, and started to explain what he is doing.
"This girl, Riya is a spirit shaman so she has the anatomy of both shaman and animal, this case tiger" Faust paused before asking Yoh the next question,
"how did she sustain these injuries?" at this Yoh started to the feel the guilt that plagued him before he went to sleep the night before.
"Well today she was sin a fight with a spirit sealer, and yesterday I had a mock practice battle with her, I didn't know that she used her own body as her medium" Yoh finished, and he wasn't at all ready for Faust's next statement, "did you know that spirit shamans use strength like furiyoku and furiyoku like strength," Yoh shook his head at this "well then you don't know where this came from?" Faust said as he rolled up Riya's pant leg and revealed a sluggishly bleeding gash.
"No" Yoh said profoundly shaking his head, "but can you do something" Yoh asked hopefully.
"Yes I can stitch up her cuts and bandage them, since you got her here fast enough, she'll be ok" Faust explained as he got to work, Yoh breathed a sigh of relief, "thank Kami", Yoh then went down to dinner and to explain what had happened to Anna.
It was then that he remembered he had left all the clothes they had bought for Riya in the shopping district,
"Ahhhh Anna's going to kill me," Yoh groaned as he ran down the stairs.
