Disclaimer- I do not own Yuyu Hakusho. Only Akiko. She's mine. How many times have I written that in this story?
"I'm blind" Akiko repeated. "What the hell am I going to do?" she thought. Some suddenly knocked on the door. "Akiko!" Kurama called from the side. "May I come in" he asked. "Um… Just a second" she stumbled out of the bathroom. She felt her way across her room. She felt across the walls till she felt the doorknob. She quickly opened the door. " What to you so long Akiko" "Get in here" she grabbed at where he heard his voice and dragged him in her room. "Akiko, you nearly broke my shirt! What's wrong with you" " I… I don't know" She walked a few steps and then tripped on a belt that was on the floor. "Akiko!" Kurama grabbed her arm and pulled her up. "What's wrong" She gulped. "Kurama you might not believe me but… when I came up here and while I was on the phone everything started to get blurry. I went tot he bathroom and then in about one minute I went completely blind"
"Oh God. Please tell me your joking" Akiko shook her head. "I'm not" she stared to cry. "Akiko come on. I'm going to get you a chair. Just stay where you are" "No. Don't leave me!" she grabbed for his arm. "Just lead me to my bed" "Fine" Kurama went behind her and picked her up. "Hey! Akiko yelled completely startled. "Hey put me down" "Akiko shush. It's easier if I do this. And don't yell of mom will come up here" Kurama walked over to her bed and set her Akiko down. " Ok Akiko I'm going to get some thing from my room. And I'm going to tell mom to postpone that party idea. Alright. I want you to stay here and don't move" "Alright alright. Just go already" She lay back against her pillows. Several minutes went by and Kurama did not return. She sighed. Things always went bad for her. She always had the worst of luck. Maybe she did something horrible in her past life and now she was paying for it.
"Hey Akiko" some one said from behind her. She shot up. "Who's there?" "Me" someone she sat next to her. "Um… Who's me?" "Hiei! Hn. You think a girl could at least remember her boyfriend" "Oh…Sorry Hiei I just" "What's wrong with your eyes?" "Huh?" she asked confused. "They don't have their usual sparkle. They look dull" "Hiei! When did you arrive?" "Hey Fox" "Kurama your back. What took you so long?" "Something happen while I wasn't here?" Hiei asked. "Yes. You must have notice by now that Akiko here has gone blind," Kurama said. He kneeled in front of Akiko and shone a light into hr eyes.
"What in the 7 hells!" "Hiei. Shush. I need to see" "Why are you guys whispering?" Akiko asked interrupting Kurama. "Were not whispering" Kurama said and removed the light from her eyes. "That's funny. I can barely hear you two" "What!" Hiei and Kurama said at the same time. Some one knocked on the bedroom door. "Akiko, Shuichi me and your step-father are going to visit some friends. We'll be back in and a few hours. You know that rules" Kurama held his breath until he heard his mother go down the stairs and heard the front door closed.
He breathed a sigh of relief. "Talk about good timing" Hiei stated. "I'll say" Kurama turned back to Akiko. "Alright Akiko. As you were saying" She looked at straight ahead. "Akiko?" Kurama snapped his fingers right next to her left ear. She didn't even blink. "Oh damn. She's gone deaf!" Kurama exclaimed. " This is Like that story Helen Miller" Hiei said. "That's Helen Keller and I doubt that this is the same" Hiei pushed Kurama to the floor. "Hiei what the hell?' Hiei ignored him and took Akiko's hand. He turned the palm upward and began making some signs on her palm.
Akiko began making some sighs back. "She's scared," Hiei said suddenly. "She says it feels like her blood is on fire" he repeated. Akiko made frantic motions. She said that she thinks she know what's causing this. She says go to Koenma only he knows the cure" "I'll go Hiei you stay with her" "Why me?" he asked. "Because you're the only one who knows how to speak sign language. I'll be back the moment I get this cure" Kurama walked to the door but he suddenly stopped. "And Hiei" "Hn" "Take good care of her" "I will" Kurama left the room. Hiei turned back to Akiko. "Oh man. How do you always get into situations like this"
Koenma's Office
"Oh dear. This isn't good." Koenma paced back and forth. "So. Can we save her" "Of coarse. But It won't be easy" "Why?" Kurama asked. " Well. We need two things. The first one will be easy enough. But it's the second thing that I worry about." He kept pacing. "What is it!" "Well we need to things sacrificed. Both willingly. One is from Hiei. The other is... Keiko" "Were doomed" Kurama thought. "What do they have to give up?" Kurama asked. "Blood" Koenma, said bluntly. "The rest I shall do. Just get me the blood of her over and her enemy. And remember Kurama they must both give it up willingly" Koenma pointed out. "0f coarse" he got up. "I expect to see you at my house in less then an hour Koenma. "No, no I'll go now. I'll get the blood from Hiei you get it from Keiko" "Alright"
Keiko's House
"Why are you here Kurama?" always get into these things?"
Keiko asked. "I need to ask you for a favor" "Well. I guess I do owe you since you got Yusuke and me back together. (When did that happen?) And Botan's my friend again. So what is it" "Um… It's not really for me," Kurama said trying not to look Keiko in the eye. "Who's it for?" she asked. "It's for my sister" "Then I'm sorry I can't do it" "Please Keiko. It's a matter of life and death" he pleaded. "So…she's going to die. That's fine by me. Sorry Kurama but I won't do it"
"Keiko please. You know the reason you two are enemies is because of you right" Keiko eyes widened slightly. "You were always jealous of her. Even though she did nothing to you" "No that's not it" " Don't lie. I heard you talk to Botan the first day you met Akiko. Akiko did nothing to you. So why do you ate her so? All she wanted to do was be your friend. She still does"
"You're lying!" "No I'm not. She told us. She actually cried. " "Your not lying are you" "Why don't you two puts this all behind you. Just by just giving a little bit of blood," Keiko thought about it to herself for awhile. Tears started to pool up in her eyes. "Alright. Ill do it" Kurama smiled to his self. "Come to the kitchen. I brought a blood kit with me"
Minamino's Residence
"I'm back" Kurama yelled and ran into Akiko's room. "Do you have it" Koenma asked. "Here it is. Kurama passed him the nox. Koenma ran over to Akiko's desk and opened the ice filled package. "You two leave here right now" "Hiei tell her that she's going to be fine" "I can'" Hiei said with a crestfallen look on his face. "She can't feel my hand anymore" "You two leave right now1" Koenma yelled. Hie and Kurama left the room. "Do you know if she's going to be ok?" Kurama asked the moment they had left the room. "You took to long," he said simply. "Hiei answer me" "Because of that she might die. It might be too late" "Oh God. Lets hope not" Kurama pressed his ear against the door. "I can't hear what going on!" The door opened and Kurama toppled inside. "Koenma. Is she alright?" Hiei asked. Koenma shook his head no. "No. Don't tell me. She died!" "I'm sorry. It was too late. I did all that I could do. I'm sorry" Hiei and Kurama ran to her bed. Akiko's face was pale. She looked like she was asleep but they new better. "I'm sorry Akiko" Kurama whispered. "It's all my fault"
Suddenly Akiko's arm shot up and grabbed Hiei and Kurama's neck. They tried to remove her hands but the grip was too strong. "You killed me," Akiko said in a hoarse voice. "You promised" Hiei and Kurama struggled against her grip. "You're promised me. Now the both of you will pay the price" Her squeezed harder. Her eyes opened slowly. "Fooled you!" Akiko yelled. She let go of their necks. "Oh wow. I so had you two fooled!" she burst out laughing. "Akiko that wasn't funny!" "Not my fault. It was all Koenma's idea" Hiei and Kurama both turned around slowly and gave Koenma there famous death stares. "Well have to go. I have many papers to sign" Koenma said cheerfully and disappeared.
"I'm sure glad that's over. So what's for dinner" Akiko said in a very cheerful voice. "Akiko you are not getting away with this Akiko" Hiei turned and grabbed for her. Akiko jumped from the bed the moment Hiei landed. "To slow!" she ran from her room. "Akiko you get back here! You are going to pay for that idiotic trick!" Hiei yelled He chased Akiko down stairs. Kurama sighed. "At least things are back to normal" Kurama said.
