Recap: "You Bastard!!! What did he do to you?!?" Sakuri demands and
Karasu gives an evil smirk. "Besides" Sakuri continued "if you want
me, then you won't use that attack on me."
Back in the hotel, Hiei is listening to the group when he looks up and notices that Joy and Sakuri are gone. He uses his Jagan to look into their rooms. Empty. He looks around the hotel. They're not there either. He searched the trails and saw that they were heading straight toward Karasu. Yusuke must have noticed Hiei's bandana glowing because he asked "What's up Hiei?"
"Nothing" Hiei responds as he gets up and walks out the door. Hiei knew what Karasu wants and what he'll do to get it without even reading his mind. Hiei knew that the girls would be in trouble and would need his help.
Once Hiei was out of the hotel, he ran to the spot where he had seen them hoping that they hadn't gone to far. They were no longer on the trail. Hiei used his Jagan once more to find them. He saw that they had split up. Joy was running from Jin. Hiei saw her hit a tree branch and fall.
'Jin will take care of her.' Hiei thought as Jin carefully picked Joy up and gently carried her off. He turned his eye to Sakuri. Sakuri had just tripped and given Karasu time to catch up. Hiei ran and jumped into a tree near Karasu and Sakuri and watched unnoticed as Sakuri got up.
'I'll be here if she needs me.' he thought as Sakuri spoke.
"Are you going to let me walk away or not?" Sakuri asked
"Not" Karasu said simply
"Don't say I didn't warn you." Sakuri said as she charged at Karasu and took a swipe at his face, ripping off his mask with one hand, and grabbing his sheathed Katana with the other. Sakuri jumped back with the sword raised. "Cheep" Karasu said scornfully, looking at his broken mask.
"Your point?" Sakuri replies cooly
"You'll regret that." he said glaring at Sakuri
"Oh will I?" Sakuri asks in a taunting voice.
"Yes, you will" Karasu replies coldly. Unknown to anyone, Hiei tenses, waiting for the explosion.
Sakuri charges Karasu trying to run him through but Karasu side steps and Sakuri just runs right past him, but before she can turn around, something invisible brushes up against her leg. In the next instant, BOOM, a large explosion goes off and her lower leg has a large indent in it and is bleeding sufficiently. Sakuri stumbles and falls. She grits her teeth at the pain and rips off a large amount of cloth to quickly tie off the bleeding, but before she can firmly tie it, she feels a cold hand on her shoulder that makes her whole body shiver.
"Pathetic." says a cold voice from over her shoulder. "Go to Hell." Sakuri says in a voice full of hatred as she turns to look at Karasu.
"Still not minding that tongue of yours?" he says mockingly "Shall I cut it out for you?"
Unnoticed to anyone, the dragon pendent around Sakuri's neck started to glow black. Also unnoticed to Sakuri and Karasu, Hiei jumped out of the tree he was in and walks behind Karasu.
"You should leave." Hiei says, making both Sakuri and Karasu jump in surprise.
Karasu turns quickly to see who would dare to interrupt him and recognizing Hiei says "Stay out of this demon traitor."
"Leave now." Hiei says more forcefully.
"I'll see you in the ring." Karasu says, turning to leave
"No, you won't. Kurama will kill you first." Hiei says mater-of-factly
"Cocky, aren't you." Karasu replied scornfully
"I said you should leave." Hiei said more forcefully "Fine" Karasu said as he saw Hiei's energy shoot through the roof. He turned to Sakuri "I'll see you later."
Sakuri glares at him and mutters "Bastard" under her breath. Karasu pauses, then continues to walk away. Hiei picks up a small pebble and tosses it three feet from Sakuri's face. There was a brief flash of lite and another explosion where the pebble seemed to have stopped.
"Um... Thank you." Sakuri stammers
"Are you crazy or just suicidal?" he asks in an emitionless tone
"That was a thank you!!!" Sakuri yells
"Hn" he replies "You might want to tie off the bleeding."
"Oh, ya!" Sakuri says, finishing tieing off the bleeding. She tries to stand up and winces. Hiei pushes her firmly back to the ground
"You'll make it worse if you try to walk."
"Then how am I going to get out of here?"
"I'll carry you"
"What about Joy? Where is she?" Sakuri asked remembering her friend
"She's fine. Trust me." Hiei said
"Ok" Sakuri relents as a wave of dizzyness overcomes her. For the briefest second, an expression of worry flickered across Hiei's face.
"We had better hurry. It's going to rain." Hiei stated. A clap of thunder cracks over head and rain starts to pour. Hiei quickly picked up Sakuri and ran far faster and smother than any human, however talanted, could run, even without carying another person. Hiei stops in a cave (not the one with Joy and Jin in it) and sets Sakuri down.
"Stay here. I'll be back." he commands, then runs out.
Back at the hotel, Kurama is sitting in a chair talking to Yusuke, Kuwabara, Yukina, Boton, Shizuru, and Keiko when he sences Hiei comming up the stairs. The door to the room opens and Hiei walks in. "Hey Hiei!" Yusuke greets
"Hn." is Hiei's only responce as he walks into another room.
Blood. Kurama smelt part human part demon blood on Hiei. Blood that was definatally not Hiei's. Kurama got up and followes Hiei into the other room
Hiei was getting medical supplies. "What's up Hiei?" Kurama asked
"Nothing" Hiei says in a not to convincing tone
"Whose blood is on you?" Kurama persists
"Huh?" Hiei asks
"The Ha blood!!!" Kurama says exasperatedly
"There shouldn't be any Ha blood on me. It should be human."
"Hiei!" Kurama said instantally "You know the punishiment for harming a human!"
"It wasn't me and what do you mean by ha blood?" Hiei asked
"Like I said, it's part Demon, part human. Now who's hurt and how?" Kurama asked seriosally
Hiei quickly explains about the fight between Karasu and Sakuri and about Jin and Joy while he prepares the medical supplies.
"Do you need help?" Kurama asks as Hieipicks up the medical bag and walks tword the door
"No" Hiei says quickally "We probabally won't be back till morning. Keep Yusuke and them from worring"
Hiei walks quietally out the door and Kurama goes to finish the conversation with the gang, directing the conversation away from Hiei, Sakuri, and Joy.
