[] Sora's P.O.V []
I woke up to a pounding headache and a warmth that spread throughout my whole body. It felt as if I were being dipped into a warm bath, yet¼ without the sensation of being wet. Keeping my eyes closed, I quickly analyzed the situation.
The last thing I remember was passing out after discovering my wound had returned full force, then everything just passed in a blur as a nightmare haunted me. It was a strange nightmare. But I couldn't really recall what it was about.
So now, I figured the Yu Yu group had picked me up and taken me somewhere. This warm feeling only added to my confusion. My brow furrowed in thought when I heard soft, yet concerned, voices coming from the other room.
The warm feeling suddenly stopped, leaving me feeling abandoned and cold. I felt hands go towards my head, and for some strange reason, I moved away from the hands. There was some fumbling for a minute as the hands retreated before it sounded as if a shoji door had opened.
A soft voice spoke to someone on the other side, yet another, more aged voiced spoke back. I didn't listen, it absorbed into my own mind. I realized suddenly that they had seen the extent of my injuries because my illusions had dropped when I fell unconscious.
Now that I was awake, they would most likely question me about how I had gotten the injuries and why I had powers. Well, too bad for them that I never spoke to anyone but Dezzi. And she was out of my, and their, reach.
A soft padding from a set of footsteps approached me, followed by another set. When they stopped I sensed someone kneel by me, and then the hands returned, only this time going to my stomach. That's when I felt a soft touch to my stomach where I had gotten shot, immediately my eyes shot open and I latched onto the wrist of the one who touched me.
Looking towards who had touched me, I noticed it to be Yukina with Genkai behind her. She was looking quite shocked, and Genkai looked a bit wary of me. My eyes narrowed at them both, silently warning them not to touch me. I watched carefully as Genkai touched Yukina's shoulder in a silent message.
Yukina nodded slightly before giving me a soft smile and looking at my hand which held her wrist, I let go slowly. By now, others had arrived in the doorway, having been watching from afar. The door, I finally noticed, had been left open.
She slowly moved away from me with Genkai, yet she only stood about four feet away before her soft voice broke the silence.
"My name is Yukina. I hope I didn't wake you, but it is good you are finally awake. You had some strange marks on you. Most of which were brui¼"
I immediately cut her off with a snap, "I know what happened to me. You have no right to remind me." My voice was cold, and obviously unwelcoming. She stepped back in a bit of shock and I noticed from the corner of my eye that Hiei's eyes narrowed considerably.
Ignoring Yukina's obvious discomfort in my tone I swung my legs over the side and stood. I looked down at myself to notice I had been changed into a loose fitting kimono and my stomach was wrapped as well as my bandaged arm. My broken arm was healed, yet I had a bandage on my head.
That confused me and I immediately reached up to my head and got rid of the bandage. They all were watching me quite cautiously, but I plainly ignored them as if they weren't there. Once the bandage was removed I sighed in relief. I hated the feeling of something covering my head besides my hat, which was at home.
"Are you¼ alright?"
The voice was soft and wary as if I were to just snap the owner's neck any second. I shook my head softly to clear my thoughts before raising my eyes to pale ruby ones in front of me showing nothing but concern. For a moment I felt as if I was looking right into the eyes of my best friend but instead frowned at where my thoughts were leading me.
I felt wrong, as if I had suddenly jumped off a cliff and reformed in a most odd and peculiar way. Not that I had changed physically, but I felt stronger in spirit somewhat.
Realizing everyone was staring at me I offered my attention back to what was going on at hand and gave a weak, yet friendly, smirk. I suppose I surprised them because Yukina looked absolutely shocked as if the world just ended.
"I'm alright."
That's all I could really say at the moment, I had no idea what else that I could say to put her concerns to rest. And I sure as hell didn't want to get on the bad side of her demon or human friends. After all, what good would I do up against demons and powerful humans?
With a small resigned sigh I let my eyes dart from one person to another before they landed on Yukina again. I was still a bit worried about why I was here, and how I had arrived here for that matter. And why had my wounds opened up again when they were so conveniently closed when I got here?
My look of unhappiness must have showed because Yukina immediately made a move to check if I was alright. I shook my thoughts away and stepped away from her worried hands before looking around again, this time with complete confusion. Why WAS I brought here in the first place?
I was suddenly brought from my wondering thoughts by a soft yet worried voice. Who was that again? Oh wait, Yukina. That's right.
"Are you okay? You "
She had given a slight pause. Now I was confused. I wasn't acting like myself...or... I was. Just not...how I act around strangers. I shook my head again. I had a feeling someone was reading my thoughts. And It was giving me a slight headache.
Looking at Yukina again I gave a slight reassuring smile before grimacing and sitting down with my head between me head. Damn, I had a headache. Sighing, I spoke quietly towards Yukina, "Why did my wounds reopen?"
I glanced up at her wile a thick silence hung in the air. Really...was the question SO hard? I frowned thoughtfully, maybe it was? Maybe she didn't know they had...reopened? Damn. I always give things away. Raising my head I look towards the door where everyone was gathered and frowned even more.
"Could...you...perhaps...leave me alone? All of you...? I would like to speak to the one who healed me...and...the one behind her." I was a bit reluctant to speak at first. But at least they heard me, not that it was a friendly reaction that I got from most of them. Though, Kurama DID end up sending me a brief smile but a wary glance.
Oh well, at least they weren't crowding the door anymore.
When the shoji door shut with a 'click' I turned towards Genkai. "Where am I? Who brought me here?" I questioned, fully aware of where I was and who brought me here but still confused. Genkai seemed to be measuring me up at the moment before she spoke again. Strangely, her voice wasn't as harsh as I thought it'd be.
"Your at my temple. Kurama brought you here when you fainted at the park from blood loss and emotional trauma. You also have a bit of head trauma." Well, at least she answered me. Although, I fully didn't expect a full description of my injuries. Emotional trauma, huh? Yep, sounds like me. It's happened many times before. Closing my eyes, I rubbed my temples in a plea for silence...Answers... And so much more that my conscious mind could not think up.
I had a terrible headache and my thoughts were still running haywire. I looked up briefly to where my healer was before giving her a slight smile, "Your name?" I was hoping she'd give it to me and I wouldn't have to ask outright.
Her worried smile turned into a full blown happy smile. I almost flinched, how could she be so dang happy? Anyways, she answered me with, "I'm Yukina. This is Genkai." and I smiled once more at her. I couldn't help it. Even though she had always annoyed me, her soft attitude was contagious.
"I'm Sora. Really sorry for being such a bother...but I think I'm just going to...pass out here...again." With that said and done and catching a brief glimpse of her worried look. I passed out. Darkness claiming me and my vision without a seconds thought so that I would be thrown into the land of dreams. Hopefully with no nightmares.
