Chapter 9: Bloody Slumber
Hiei furiously opened his eyes for the fifteenth time that night. Even though the kids had stopped poking his Jagan, he still couldn't for the life of him fall asleep. This was largely due to Kuwabara and Yusuke's snoring. Yusuke wasn't that bad, but Hiei could have sworn Kuwabara was making the whole force field cage shake.
"How do Yukina and Keiko fall asleep at night?" he wondered mentally. He rolled over onto his side. His eyes were itching with tiredness so he shut them with one last vain attempt to fall asleep. Hiei was almost asleep when Kuwabara gave the loudest snore yet. Hiei swore out loud. Mukuro opened a bleary eye and looked at him.
"Would you stop cussing and go to sleep?" she asked thickly. He looked over at her in annoyance.
"Maybe if I could get to sleep I would!" he snapped, a little more aggressively then he meant to. Mukuro rose her head off of the ground and gave Hiei a death glare.
"It's the middle of the night, I'm tired, I can't stop worrying about Ai and Yo, and you keep waking me up! You keep yelping-" Hiei opened his mouth furiously to protest her calling his shouts of pain "yelping" but she kept talking, "-and tossing and turning, could you just stop and go to sleep?" she asked with a mixed tone of pleading and anger. Hiei stared at her. He opened his mouth to speak but was again cut off, but by a different voice. A much crueler voice.
"Oh, honestly, don't you do anything but spiel emotion? If I cut you I bet you'd bleed emotion," she sneered maliciously. She withdrew a knife from the folds of her cloak and with one swift motion brought it across Hiei's outline's arm. Hiei clutched his own arm in pain. Mukuro immediately forgot about their fight and scurried to remove his shirt and press it against the wound. Everyone else was awake now and staring angrily from Sulera to Hiei. Mukuro removed the bloodstained garment and a wide gash that ran from the side of Hiei's wrist down the middle halfway to his elbow was visible.
"No, I guess I was wrong," she said, her eyes glittering at the bloody seen in front of her. "It seems you do bleed blood."
"You evil witch!" Yusuke burst out furiously, getting to his feet and facing Sulera who was smiling from the other side of the force field. Keiko grabbed at his jacket.
"Yusuke," she murmured with a gentle warning. Yusuke fought against her grip but Kurama and Kuwabara came over to help Keiko restrain him.
"No, Yusuke, it isn't worth it," Kurama assured him holding onto his arm.
"Yeah, Urameshi, leave it alone, the shrimp'll be okay," Kuwabara said. Yusuke yanked his arm out of Kurama's grip and straightened his jacket. Sulera smirked.
"Hm, good choice because all I had to do to stop you was this." She rammed the handle of the knife into Yusuke's shoulder. It took all the will power he had to keep from crying out. He clutched his shoulder and fell onto the ground hard. Keiko whimpered and looked over at Sulera with watery, yet fierce, eyes.
Yusuke's eyes watered and he gritted his teeth from the immense pain that was flooding from his shoulder down his arm and across his chest.
"Keiko," he warned, not looking too intimidating leaning against her shoulder. "Take your own advice and let it go." Keiko very reluctantly turned back to her injured husband and friend.
Kurama was beside Hiei trying his best to stop the bleeding. She had cut across a major vein and there was blood all over. Hiei was starting to get woozy from the blood loss. His eyes were drifting in and out of focus.
"Hey, Mukuro, you've got a shiny silver thing on your face where your, uh, what was that thingy called? I think it starts with an "a". Is it an apple?" Hiei asked, looking up at Mukuro who was cradling his head in her arms. Mukuro stroked his face with tears in her eyes and shook her head "no". "Is it an ant?"
"No, dear, eye," she choked, a blurred picture of her twins and their father appearing in her head.
"That's it!"
Yusuke, Keiko, and the others watched this scene with pitying eyes. Had it not been such a serious moment Yusuke probably would have laughed out loud at what Hiei was saying.
"Mukuro stop moving!" Hiei shouted feverishly. Mukuro stopped caressing his face and leaned over him.
"Hiei, I'm not moving," she said. Hiei looked up at her angrily.
"Yes you are! I can see you mov-" Hiei's eyes closed and slumped down farther into Mukuro's lap.
"Hiei!"
Well, that's the end of Chapter 9! The beginning is the product of some extra time in Social Studies. I'll try to update real soon! Dark Tournament starts next chapter!
