Chapter 11: Tears
Hiei saw the flash of light and flitted even faster towards their camp. He landed on the clearing and took note of the surroundings – the ground was charred and around it lay heaps and heaps of burnt vines. Hiei noticed a movement and noted that not all of it were vines – some were snakes, some part of which still twitched and writhed in pain after being burnt.
Yusuke landed behind him, and made a less quiet note of the scene.
"What happened here?! Kurama? Kuwabara?"
That's when Hiei noticed their team mates in the middle of the clearing, breathing heavily, tired from battle but otherwise unharmed.
"Kurama!" he heard Yusuke yell. They both ran towards the redhead and the carrot-top.
"Wow, you guys okay?"
Kuwabara nodded. "Man, quite a workout! Where the heck did the millions of snakes come from?"
"Blood," Kurama volunteered. "Human blood. And we happened to camp right in the middle of a colony."
Hiei nodded. He was enraged at himself, inside, for having chosen this spot. He swore that when he checked it with his jagan though, it had been clear.
"Kurama," Hiei voiced out. The redhead looked a little pale.
"I think I'm okay, thanks to Kuwabara," the fox said faintly. Kuwabara beamed and laughed, embarrassed at the compliment.
As Kurama smiled, a thin purplish line of liquid escaped from his mouth and made its way down his chin. He felt it and touched it with his finger, then smelled the purplish gunk.
His eyes widened, alongside his teammates.
Kurama passed out, falling to the forest floor.
Yusuke was in shock as Kurama passed out and a thin stream of purple liquid continued to streak down his fox's chin.
Yusuke noticed Hiei take a deep breath. "Kuwabara, there's a small human settlement 3 kilometers west. They may have ningen medicine."
Kuwabara nodded. "You're faster – why don't you get it?"
"Demons can't enter the town."
Kuwabara nodded again, more resolutley, and ran off towards the direction the koorime pointed. Yusuke kneeled in front of Kurama and put the fox's head on his hands. He noticed Hiei took his katana out and was about to begin slashing the fox's wrists.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"He's been bitten. We need to flush the poison out," Hiei said sternly.
"He'll bleed to death!" Yusuke exclaimed.
Hiei paused a little. "It's a risk. But he'll die faster if the poison remains in his body."
"There must be a way to flush the poison out without bleeding!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"We need to flush the liquid out," Hiei said again slowly, looking at Yusuke, willing him to understand. Yusuke then realized the depth of Hiei's knowledge of the Makai. How many snake bites has Hiei seen to immediately know the solution and to stay calm through it all, even if it was his so-called best friend whose life is in danger?
Yusuke's eyes widened in understanding then. There were only four other liquids aside from blood that can come out of a person. Tears, pee, semen and saliva. Tears and pee would have to be initiated by Kurama, which he couldn't, given his unconscious state. That put the last remaining two options upfront.
Hiei waited for Yusuke to select his position. "Your decision," Hiei said in respect of the detective.
They sucked the poison out of the fox's body with scientific accuracy. Suck poison, spit it out, then suck again.
They were so busy with saving the fox's life that they didn't notice the fox open his eyes. The flushing was slowly making him conscious and he was aware of what was happening, although paralyzed. He couldn't move a muscle.
Tears, somehow purple in color, started to fall from his green eyes.
Mukuro laid back on her throne and sighed. She could see the pain from the clearing. The pain of sacrifice, the pain of unrequited love, the pain of the scorched snakes and vines, the pain of the cut trees. In fact, one feature of her bionic eye is the feature to see feeling and identify it. Everywhere she went, she could see the pain of everyone and everything. From the pain of the rocks she steps upon while walking, to the collective pain of Makai whenever there is a war.
That is why she removed her heart and hid it. It was more than enough to see the pain, she didn't know if she could handle feeling all of it.
Feedback, dammitttt!!!
