"We should keep going I guess, there's no point in staying around here," I said. "Yusuke's right, let's keep going." Hiei said. "You're safe now Keiko," I said as I gave her a soft kiss on the forehead.
About an hour later we stopped for the night to rest until the morning came. We had decided to stop was at one time a garden but was a bunch of trees in what appeared to be a courtyard. We were able to find a dark spot in the brush that was hidden from view so we wouldn't draw as much attention. I laid Keiko down next to where Kuwabara was trying to make a fire. "She looks cold," I said to myself as I took off what was left of my jacket and placed it on her to keep her warm. "Make sure she's okay, alright Kuwabara?" I asked. "Sure thing," he replied before I walked over to a spot to rest against a tree.
After I made sure Keiko was taken care of, I finally decided to tend to my injuries. No sooner did I start looking myself over did Kurama walk over to me and say, "That looks like it's infected" "What does," I asked not knowing what he was talking about. "Your arm, need some help with that?" he offered. Only then did I realize what he was talking, there was a piece of wood in my left arm. "I guess I didn't realize it happened at all and help would be great." I said knowing that it was going to hurt when it was removed. We were eventually able to get it out and clean and bandage it up.
I walked over to check on Keiko to find Kuwabara talking with Kurama, Hiei, and Yukina nearby.
When I woke up, I found my self laying down in some leaves and everyone but Yusuke was asleep. He was leaning up against a tree trying to start a fire and wasn't making much progress. "Yu…Yusuke," I said trying to figure it all out. "Hey, how are you feeling." He said with a smile. "Yusuke," I said looking around thinking the worst. He just put his hand on my check and said, "Hey, it's alright, you're safe now. I promise…" He said and just smiled. "Oh Yusuke," I said in a sob and just fell into his arms and just cried in his arms.
