Aww spring break...ah...yes.My school is so weird...are spring break is later than everyone else's. Oh well...MORE WRITING TIME!
Mali turned to see Hiei coming back towards her, she smiled "Injure your self so soon?" But she stopped smiling when she saw a small girl in his arms. Kurama was behind him, helping Yuki walk. Yusuke had Kuwabara on his back, and was hurrying to the Healers.
"Hey! We got three coming in! Gravely wounded! Over here now!" Mali shouted turning her head. Several people rushed to her, and when the others entered, they pulled the injured in their arms, with extreme care. Mali guided Yusuke to a table, where she helped him lay Kuwabara down. She looked at Yusuke seeing all the blood that was dyed on him, and then at Kuwabara's.
"You'll give me your clothes later so I can clean them."
Hiei was the only one not confused about this comment, he had been with Mali already. He knew what to expect.
"You gotta save him! He saved our lives!" Yuki babbled. Mali nodded at Yuki, and turned to Kuwabara. She placed her hands over him, the light Hiei had seen before coming back. "I can't do this alone! Hey, someone come over here!" She snapped. A young demon approached, and aided her, the same white light coming from his hands. A young man came over as well, joining them in trying to close Kuwabara's wounds.
Yusuke stood frozen, watching a numb feeling washing over the blood in his body. He didn't feel Kurama's hand on his back, or hear Hiei talking to him.
He only saw Kuwabara.
He only saw the sweat dripping off his brow, and his head turning from side to side, as if trying to shake something off. His hands clenching and unclenching, and the slight arch of his back he made if anyone touched his skin.
Kuwabara's eyes fluttered open and he let out a scream. Mali sighed, "That's a good sign...If he'd woken up, and wasn't screaming, then we would be in trouble." Kuwabara moaned with pain, and Yusuke came over to him, gripping his friend's hand. Kuwabara squeezed tightly in immense pain. "Ur..Ura..." "Shh everything's gonna be okay Kuwabara..." Yusuke said softly.
Kuwabara shuddered and Mali called over her shoulder, "We're losing him, he's having a seizure! Get something to tie him down with!" Yusuke's, Kurama's, and Hiei's eyes went wide.
Kurama and Hiei tried to get closer, but Mali told them, "I know your worried, but its best if you stay back! You too." She turned to Yusuke, but faltered in her words seeing an equal amount of pain in his face. She sighed, and told the others to work around him.
A man brought out tape, and wrapped the tape around Kuwabara's body, and then the table. "URAMESHI!" Kuwabara cried out, as he began to have horrible tremors. Yusuke felt tears prickle in his eyes. His mind was racing, random thoughts entering his head, such as why they would use tape to keep Kuwabara down.
(a.n. it works if it's a special type of tape.)
Yusuke was bent over him, tears threatening to spill out his eyes, "Your...Your going to be fine! I'm right here! Kuwabara, I'm right here!" He was stroking Kuwabara's face, and running his hand through his hair. Kuwabara was moaning with pain, and tears sped down his face. His head turned towards Yusuke, or at least where he heard his voice, and pressed his brow to Yusuke's arm. "Ur...ra..me...." Kuwabara whimpered.
Next to him Hope was screaming as she was being healed. It seemed as if the electricity was being ripped out of her body. Tears were flying off her face, and the screams were painful to one's ears. Yuki's wound was being healed, and he did not cry out with pain. His eyes were glued on Hope, and he was gripping onto the table, his knuckles white.
"The very serious wounds are the ones that hurt the most as we heal them." Mali said talking to the worried friends, as if trying to calm them down, though she could not see the fear on their eyes. Yusuke was crying and he let out a shuddering sigh as Kuwabara went limp. Mali and the other Healer's let out a sigh, sweat dampening their faces.
"He'll be okay. He can't go back to the battlefield, for a while," Mali looked out, "but it looks like everything will be fine, maybe by tomorrow even." She looked over at the battlefield and gave a tiny smile, "It seems We're calling it a day for the war, as well as collecting the dead."
The three turned around and looked out at the battlefield. Everyone had ceased fighting and, several people had gone out to collect the bodies which had been blown away. Yusuke turned away and looked back to Kuwabara. Mali touched his shoulder, "Don't worry. He'll be fine. He's stable now. Everything is okay now. He's resting, you should rest too."
Mali beckoned another demon, and both of them placed him in a cot, tucking covers around him. Yusuke followed him and sat by him, Mali resting her hand on his shoulder, "He's going to be okay."
Yusuke looked up at her, and in a cracking voice asked, "Can I stay?" Mali smiled sadly at him and pulled up another cot, placing it right by Kuwabara's, and got them as close together as she could. She walked off and came back with a blanket and covered Yusuke up. She smiled, and chuckled, "As long as You sleep I don't care what you do." Yusuke nodded a thankful smile on his face, and quickly fell asleep next to Kuwabara.
Night had not fallen yet, but Yusuke still slept the same, with his hand in Kuwabara's. Kurama looked at Yuki who was sitting up, the hole in his leg fixed. Hope was no longer being healed, but sleeping as well. She was drowning in the covers placed over her, looking younger than she really was.
Yuki looked over at her. "You know...she's the only human on our team. Most of the human's are at least a fraction of a demon." Kurama smiled. "Kuwabara is completely human as well."
"Out of a thousands of us there are only 52 pure blooded humans." Yuki said still watching Hope, "They must be considered the strongest in their world."
Yuki smiled and nodded towards Kuwabara, "He will be okay?" "Yes, that stubborn human, can't seem to die." Hiei snorted. "What about Hope?" Kurama asked looking over at her. "She has a fever, and needs to rest...but she'll be fine." Yuki smiled, and looked at them sadly. "She and I are the only one's left out of a team of seven." Hiei and Kurama starred at him, and saw the pain and torment there. "My brother, my best friend, gone. Her best friend, gone...It seems that this war is taking everyone away."
"They'll come back. When Koenma heals, he'll bring them all back. He promised."
"We've been fighting for almost a month!" Yuki snapped bitterly.
Kurama nodded, "I know...but You saw him like we did...he was dying...he won't recover soon. He used so much of his power." Yuki sighed and laid down. "I just want to see my friend's again...my family..."
Hiei starred at him for a bit, then turned and left, sparing a last look at Yusuke and Kuwabara. "Come. We better find the dead." Kurama nodded and pat Yuki's shoulder, following Hiei.
~~~~~~~~********~~~~~~
Hiei and Kurama walked around the trenches, seeing if their were any bodies to be found. They had found several, others took them to the portal so that they may continue their search. They found a few that were still alive, and they were rushed to the Healers.
"I'm going this way." Kurama said walking further down. Hiei continued to search around the area he was in, and found a 14 year old demon. His face was bloody, as was his shirt, dirt smeared his body, and Hiei wasn't sure if the boy had a hand or not, it just looked like a bloody stub. Hiei reached down, and the child's eyes opened.
"Your alive..."
The boy had brown eyes and blonde hair. He opened his mouth, blood gurgling out. Once it stopped he choked, "Pl...Please...Ki..kill me." Hiei blinked with surprise. He leaned down and tried to pick him up, the boy crying out. He looked under the boy, seeing several spikes in his back, keeping him pinned down to the earth. He would never be able to remove them or cut them off without killing the young boy.
"Plea...please...." The boy whispered.
"What's your name?" Hiei asked softly.
"D...Danny."
Hiei pulled out his sword, "Danny this won't hurt...I won't let it hurt." "May I hold your...your hand?" Hiei blinked at the request, not accustomed to hearing a demon say that request. Danny looked at him with pleading eyes, and Hiei nodded. He took the child's hand and brought the blade down; the child sighed smiling as he died. The pain no longer there.
Hiei pulled the demon boy free, several chunks of his flesh stuck in the spikes. He held the boy to him, and realized that he really was a child. 14 years was like a day for a demon. This demon boy hadn't even been given a chance.
For once, Hiei wished he was not in this fight. Normally he was thrilled fighting, killing, the rush of adrenaline. But something about seeing children dying was disturbing him. He did not like human children, or children in general, they were annoying to him. He loathed them...but he'd been here so long and had held many people as they died. Human and demon alike, young and old, male and female...there were so many faces in his mind...
He came to the conclusion, that he had felt something stir in his emotions, no matter how much he denied it.
He didn't want children to die. He didn't want the people around him to die. He didn't want to see another girl cry out as her brother was killed. He didn't want to see a teen reach for his best friend, who lay sprawled on the ground arms and legs missing. He didn't want to see Yusuke holding onto Kuwabara, as he cried out, fighting for his life. He didn't want to lose them.
He didn't want to lose Kurama.
"Danny your okay now...." Hiei buried his nose in the blonde boy's hair, "Your okay."
