Ch.5-Battle Wounds Heal...What Other Wounds Are There?
======
Inu-Yasha walked wearily into Kaede-baba's hut, the
bleeding thirdling on his back, followed by the
others. Inu-Yasha set the deathly-pale girl onto
the worn-out red mat near Kaede. "Kuroi needs to
heal.." Inu-Yasha hid his angst impression from
the elderly priestess.
Kaede sighed sadly. "She needs to heal for a few
days. Monk, prepare the herbal salve that we used for
Inu-Yasha when Sesshomaru stabbed through him."
The youkai halfling knelt down next to Kuroi,
her breathe raspy and fast. Her chest beat like
there was a war going on inside of her. She
sweat drastically. Inu-Yasha stared. "She has a fever."
"Inu-Yasha, if you are not going to help I suggest
you stay outside." Miroku suggested sympathetically.
[...] Inu-Yasha sighed and stormed outside.
Inu-Yasha rammed his fist into a nearby tree.
[Kuso. I was too slow.] Kagome came up from
behind, her worried expression made Inu-Yasha
look away. "Are you alright, Inu-Yasha?"
Inu-Yasha groaned. "I'm fine.."
"No you aren't."
"What the hell makes you say that?! I'm fine!"
"You're blaming yourself again, aren't you?"
"Feh. It's all that thirdling's fault. She should've
known Sesshomaru was dangerous." Inu-Yasha's gold
eyes shimmered with extreme worry.
"I knew it."
Inu-Yasha stomped away. Kagome sighed and returned
to Sango, who was interrogating the caucasian girl,
who was laughing her butt off.
Sango sighed. She wasn't getting any answers. "Who
are you really?" She had asked her for the ninth
time, and the boomerang-weilding woman was losing
her patience.
"For the last time, I'm Seito Pika. I come from
California, United States. I live in San Jose.
I love Sesshomaru!" Seito yelled, laughing at
Sango's agitated expression. "That's all!"
Kagome sat down on the lush grass next to Sango.
"Who is your friend?"
"Her name is Kuroi Abunai...uh...." Seito thought
quietly. "She is youkai-human-dragon, she loves
to fight....uh...."
"That doesn't help. Why was she wearing that armor?"
Sango asked kindly, though trying not to
lose her temper.
"I don't know." Sango and Kagome sweatdropped.
"Well, how did you girls know about us?" Kagome
asked.
"Manga."
Kagome stared. "M-manga?"
"Yup." Seito winked. "Now if you excuse me, I have
to go see if my dear friend is alright." Seito
got up and walked into the priestess's hut.
"Is she gonna be okay, Kaede-baba?" Seito's
tears appeared without notice at the sight of
Kuroi's limp body.
Kaede bit her thin lip. "If what she says is
true, about her being a full youkai and dragon,
she might be able to heal in a few days..But
I do not know if she will live.."
The caucasian half-youkai turned her gaze to
Kaede. "W-wha-t?" Seito stuttered.
Kaede sighed sadly, but did not say anything.
A small groan broke the silence. "W..what...
was that...about me...not living..?" Kuroi
supported herself on her left bloody elbow. "Its..
not like I won't heal.."
Seito glomped Kuroi, forgetting that the thirdling
was still in pain. "YOU'RE OKAY!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ow ow ow ow OW ow ow-" Kuroi slapped the floor,
trying desperately to get out of the half-youkai's
grasp. "Ow ow ow Ow OW ow ow-"
Kaede pushed Seito away from Kuroi, who now had
trouble breathing because of the previous glomping.
"Stop, Seito! Lest you reopen her wounds!"
Seito got booted out by Miroku's foot. "Out! Out!"
The girl rubbed her rear end and sighed. "Miroku
wa baka. Demo..Kuroi..Are you going to be okay..?"
Seito sat down under a cherryblossom tree and looked
up at the sky. It was getting dark. The caucasian
teen picked up a cherryblossom on the ground as
she remembered what happened one night before they
got to Kaede's hut. (AN: the trip back to Kaede's
village took one full day and a half)
*~Flashback~*
Seito's tears had dried on her cheeks as she
trudged alongside Sango and Kagome. The
caucasian's eyes glittered with pain and fear,
for Kuroi's limp body wouldn't move, other than
her breathing. "Kuroi..." Kagome heard Seito's
whisper and patted her back.
"It's gonna be okay, Seito-chan. She'll live.
Kaede-baba and Miroku will make sure that she will.
Stop crying." Seito noticed tears in Kagome's
eyes as well.
"Only if you stop crying." Seito asked.
"Deal." Kagome smiled and Seito smiled back.
The tired group found themselves back at the water
edge of the Oni River as the glowing orange orb
began to lower. "Let's camp here. We all need
rest." Miroku sat down on a small boulder and began
to meditate. "And I believe Lady Kagome needs to
tend to Kuroi's wounds best she can."
Kagome nodded and took out a medicine kit from
her incredibly large pack. "Inu-Yasha. Set
Kuroi down here." Kagome pointed to her
dark red sleeping bag. "Right here."
Inu-Yasha took Kuroi off his back and layed her
down gently onto the plush sleeping bag.
By the time Kagome had finished cleaning up
Kuroi's wounds as best as she could, it was
dark, and the only light that was visible
was the campfire, although it would probably
only last a few hours.
Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango nodded off
to sleep as the half-moon shined above the forest,
its faint glow glistening over the waving blue waters
of the Oni River.
Seito sat by the fire, unable to sleep because of
her worrying for her injured friend. She thought
everyone was asleep, so she didn't even bother to
whisper. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have
run to Sess-chan. She wouldn't have gotten wounded
like this." Seito's fist trembled as her tears
ran freely down her cheeks and onto her
blouse and green skirt.
"It's all my fault..."
Seito turned around slowly towards the direction
of Kuroi. There he was, looming over the thirdling's
body, with a worried expression on his slightly
tanned face. "All my fault.." Inu-Yasha looked
at Kuroi, his face full of guilt. Seito didn't
dare to say anything. [...] Seito looked on,
suprised at what Inu-Yasha was doing.
Kuroi's body stirred. Inu-Yasha took a step back,
rather suprised that she could still move after
such wounds. "Inu-Yasha...it is not your fault...
it was mine...I...forgot what Sesshomaru was like..
it was never your fault..." Kuroi scoffed,
blood dripping from her mouth. "Seito...I know you're
...awake...come here..." Seito was suprised.
[How did she know I was awake?] Seito slowly walked
over. "You have to sleep, Ku-chan."
"I'm fine." Kuroi whispered. "I'll heal.."
Inu-Yasha stared. "Seito is right Kuroi. Rest.
Seito wouldn't want you to die, now would she?"
Seito looked at Inu-Yasha who, in turn, stared back.
"What? I'm agreeing with you." Inu-Yasha said.
"Do YOU care?"
Inu-Yasha looked away. "Feh. Weakling humans. I
just didn't want to carry a burden on my back,
that's all."
Seito was about to sock Inu-Yasha but Kuroi's
hand blocked her punch. "Stop...Seito..That's
just the way he...is...remember?"
"But he just said-"
"No...please.." Kuroi's eyes pleaded, as did her voice.
Seito sighed. "Fine.."
*~End Flashback~*
Seito sighed quietly as her eyes finally gave in
to sleep.
Meanwhile, Inu-Yasha was standing under the
God Tree, lost in his thoughts.
[Kuso, why didn't I sense Sesshomaru's aura
earlier. If I did, she wouldn't have gotten hurt.
I refuse to see another woman die.] His thoughts
turned to Kikyo, reminising what she had said when
that psycho ogress, Urasue, resurrected Kikyo's
body. ~I died hating you, my soul cannot move from
that spot!~
"Thinking of Kikyo, Inu-Yasha?" a feminine voice
asked.
"K-k-k.." Inu-Yasha stuttered suprisingly.
The girl laughed loudly, but was stopped by the
throbbing pain within her chest. "Can't even say
my name, Inu-Yasha..That is very humorous."
"You shouldn't be here!" Inu-Yasha ordered harshly.
"I'm fine. My powers will heal me. You don't need
to worry."
"But.."
"No. I want to stay here with you. It's too lonely
within that place I was resting in."
"Feh." Inu-Yasha sighed arrogantly. The black-haired
girl leaned on the God Tree next to Inu-Yasha. She
tilted her head onto his shoulder and closed her
eyes, feeling at peace. Inu-Yasha looked down
at the girl, the way her hair blew quietly in the wind,
her pale complection illuminated by moonlight. The
halfing soon found himself sighing in contemptment.
The girl opened her eyes slowly. "I should be
going back. Thanks for letting me stay with you,
Inu-Yasha." The girl slowly walked away.
The halfling stared, somewhat sadly, at the girl who
began to walk away. [What?]
=====
AN: So who do you think was with Inu-chan just now,
eh? You'll find out soon! heehee. I love leaving ppl
in suspense. Who was it? Kikyo, Kagome, or...Kuroi?
It would be unexpected, or would it? Muahahahhaaha.
Kikyo: It was me.
Kuroi: I doubt it. You're too heartless.
Kikyo: Oh? What about you?
Kuroi: Well, so what if I'm heartless in battle and
love to fight? At least I don't have a grudge for what,
a million years?
Kikyo: You have many grudges. What about the ones in
your own dimension?
Kuroi: No No NO. Those are my NEMESIS-ES.
Kikyo: hmph.
Kuroi: .
Me: OH SHUT UP!
Kagome: IT WAS ME!
Kikyo: ME!
Kuroi: You Shikon guardians really annoy me.
Me: Me too. ^^;;
