Kuwabara snorted as he walked away from Yusuke.
"Damn that Urameshi. Why does he always do that? I'll get you someday, Urameshi!!!" Kuwabara barked to Yusuke, who had told him off just minutes before.
Irritated at Yusuke even more now, he sighed and continued his slow jaunt into the woods. He scanned the area with caution. There could be anything hiding in those bushes. Or the trees. Or anywhere for that matter. Oh well, he didn't really give a damn about it anyway. If there was anything hiding out, they'd be waiting for Yusuke, not him. Just then, his ears were pierced with the sound of a shriek. He heard voices, thunderous, arguing voices of two men. He stopped and jumped behind a tree. He listened.
"Stop it Reishyo! She doesn't deserve that! Just give her a god damn break!" One voice demanded.
"Fuck off, I don't care about that! Don't give me any of that stupid sentimentality! I already have enough problems as it is!" The other screeched.
"And you're taking it out on her??? What the hell did she do wrong?!" The first commanded.
"Shut up!"
"No! I want to know!"
"Shut Up!"
"NO!!!"
"GOD DAMMIT JIN, I SAID SHUT UP!!!"
Kuwabara flinched as the argument heated, but paused as a thought came to pass. Then, who was shrieking? It couldn't have been those other voices, he thought. But, if it isn't those two, then it must've been. a girl!!!??? He gasped as the sound of fists and hard punches came soon after. Pretty soon, what he heard as a high voice, a male, but a high voice, fade and die off. Whoever was trying to defend themselves or someone else, had gone. Shortly after, the thud and the trotting off of feet told him that whoever the assailant was had left as well. When he was certain that no one else was in range, Kuwabara bolted into a run. Not far off was a small clearing, obviously where the fight had taken place. The breeze there was unnatural. The wind was blowing too hard for such a small area. Noticing the bushes, trees and especially the ground, were all ripped, broken or uprooted. What happened here??? He stared in awe at how badly this tiny area appeared. Slowly treading, his eyes attached to the ground, he finally caught sight of something he was far too used to seeing: blood. Mind unwilling to look, Kuwabara's curiosity and feet took control. He followed the trail, watching it grow in size until he saw a slender hand, outstretched, on the ground. To his sheer horror, he looked up to see a young woman, bleeding from a deep gash across her side, on the ground. Without thinking he fell to his knees and slowly set her upright, immediately finding the source of all the blood. He gently shook her.
"Hey, hey girl, come on, wake up! Wake up!" His face lifted into a small smile when she winced and opened her eyes.
The sudden impulse he got from seeing two pupil-less eyes almost made him drop her. He regained his composure and caught her in time. His face deepened to a frown when he noticed just how much pain she was in.
"Hey, are you okay?" Kuwabara said with concern.
The two eyes came into focus and caught a glimpse of the carrot top above. They widened in shock. She suddenly jumped from her spot and landed a few feet away. She looked at him as if he had escaped from the insane asylum. She replied in a soft, shaky voice.
"W-who are you?" She sniffed the air, identifying the scent. She stared even more.
"You're a Ningen!! What in the four hells are you doing here???" She gripped her side in pain. Kuwabara seemed surprised at her reaction, but his expression calmed to a grin.
"Yea, I know I'm from the Ningenkai. I'm participating in the tournament, Team Urameshi. My name is Kazuma Kuwabara. If you wouldn't mind me asking, who are you?" He said in a calm tone.
"Hm, I'm Teri. Juhyoo Tsukai Teri. Uh- I'm the. servant of the Mashoutskai Team. Ah!" She clutched the gash in her side, which reopened from her sudden movements. She gritted her teeth.
"Just leave me. I am of no importance to you." She hissed under her breath.
Kuwabara was stunned at this answer. What is she talking about???
"That's crazy," Kuwabara shouted, "You're injured and need to be taken care of!" He said, still appalled.
Teri's eyes slit in a glare. She had never been spoken to that way before, taking it as anything but kind.
"Go away, Ningen!! I'll heal in time," she sneered, her side once again dripping with blood, "I don't need you!" Her voice cracked with innocence, which Kuwabara could plainly see. This girl wanted his help, but must have been treated badly by everyone. She did not know how to react. He scooted closer to her.
"No, Teri, I'm not leaving here until you are properly taken care of. That wound is not going to be able to heal on its own." Kuwabara was even more worried then before, but he made up his mind.
If she refused again, he would just have to take her anyway. Teri was pail. The loss of blood was beginning to take effect on her. Her eyes paled as well as her face. Yet, she still tried to refuse his help.
"Why are you so persistent on helping me.?! .I said.no!" Her head bobbed warily until her body could take it no more.
Her hands fell and she collapsed, unconscious. Kuwabara jumped with fright. He quickly crawled to her side and examined her wound. It was beginning to dry again, but for the mean time, was still bleeding profusely. Kuwabara turned, trying to find someplace suitable to take her. His eyes paced from the hotel to the stadium. Where could he take her??? The stadium had an emergency room, but it had been a few hours and everyone had probably abandoned the stadium by now. The hotel must be thriving with people by now, he thought. He slowly picked Teri up; making sure the wound would not break open again and darted off.
"Don't worry, Teri, I'll find the help you need. I, Kazuma Kuwabara, will make sure of that!" In a flash, he was gone, leaving behind the wretched, tortured circle of the forest.
"Damn that Urameshi. Why does he always do that? I'll get you someday, Urameshi!!!" Kuwabara barked to Yusuke, who had told him off just minutes before.
