"Well," the innkeeper suggested, "there is a way to get rid of the venom.
But you have to be a brave man to do it. But I think you're brave enough to
do this type of thing."
"What is it? I can't afford to let a servant of mine die, you know." Kyo said.
"Erm, okay so this is how it goes. You go near the lady and slice her flesh, from the first hole made by the fang of the snake to the last one. Then, you suck her blood out. I think you do know the taste of pure blood, right? Blood with venom tastes way nastier than pure blood. So you can tell if you sucked all the venom out if you can only taste pure blood." The old man instructed.
A sweat dropped from Kyo's forehead, down to his chin.
"Fine then, if that's the only way to cure this ugly woman."
"Ugly? This woman is beautiful and gorgeous! You're lucky enough to find a girl like her!" the old man joked.
"Urgh. Let's just get this thing moving." Kyo snapped as he removed his Muramasa from its scabbard. He gently sliced the smooth flesh of Yuya.
"Suck her blood now before she loses more of it." The old man instructed.
Kyo positioned himself and began sucking her blood. When he was able to taste only pure blood, he sprayed out the poisoned blood on the floor and wiped his mouth with his hand.
"Goddammit, I ain't doing that again. It tastes awful!" Kyo complained.
The innkeeper laughed a little and said, "Well at least, you save Beauty here her life. Wait, I'll come back to get a cleaner to clean up the mess on the floor. Try to clean her wound. Oh yeah, and don't make her walk around for one day. She can walk only the day after tomorrow because it might bring her to paralysis if she did. And believe me, it can last a lifetime. Hehehe, anyway, I'll better get going!"
The old man left and Kyo let out an irritated sigh, 'Such a troublesome woman.'
He went to the bathroom to get a first aid kit and some water on a basin. When he went back, he saw Yuya was lying on her left side, sleeping comfortably.
He let out an irritated sigh and thought, 'You call her beautiful? Hell, I'd rather listen to what an ant says about her than people who thinks that she is beautiful. '
The next day...
Yuya opened her eyes and sat up.
"Ouch!" she said as she hovered her hand on her right thigh, "Oh wait a minute, I didn't have this wound last night."
She was about to stand up when Kyo warned, "You're not standing up. You're not going anywhere and you'll stay on that bed until tomorrow. You don't have any idea what hassle I've been through with you last night."
"OH MY GOD!!! DID YOU RAPE ME?!!!" Yuya asked as her eyes widened at the sight of Kyo leaning on the doorframe.
"What?!!!" Kyo exclaimed, "Why would I even have that three lettered thing with you?! You're so ugly! I removed the poison from your bloodstream, fool."
"Oh..." Yuya said while she blushed, "I can't believe you did that... I... I don't know what to say..."
"What is it? I can't afford to let a servant of mine die, you know." Kyo said.
