Chapter twelve: Fallen...
Botan clutched onto Hiei's prone form. "Stupid... Stupid..." Rolled off her tongue, over and over.
Tears... so many tears streamed down her face.
Tears of relief.
Tears of frustration.
His clothing tattered and torn.
"I spent a lot of money on those too." She muttered ironically, maybe a bit rueful.
Nestling her head into the crook of his neck, inhaling...
Exotic spices and Cinnamon.
Sparks of fire sprinkled the air, grounded out by the harsh torrents of rain.
"Mine..."
She'd not miss that statement, as faint as it was. It came out as clear as day.
But the meaning... she wasn't sure of.
"Hiei..." Her fingers combed through his charcoal locks of hair. Revealing in the silky texture, as it tickled her sensitive skin.
Eyes twinkled, lashes moving... tears flung bursting into thousands of crystalline droplets.
The pitter-patter of rain was a lulling sound, calming and soothing. Like a drug... like some unknown poison.
"Botan?" Came a soft and concerned voice, back a few ways.
She tilted her head just slightly, eyeing the young man. "Go..." She murmured quietly, re-burying her head into his shoulder.
"Botan...? We must get you both out of this weather." The voice beckoned again, lightly rubbing her back.
She flinched and snuggled closer to Hiei's unconscious form. "Kurama...?" His emerald orbs softened considerably.
"Please come Botan..." He tried again, she shook her head fiercely in response.
It was a futile and fruitless attempt, but at seeing Botan's state of mind, he knew something had to be done.
Very gently Kurama grabbed Hiei, pulling him out from under the deity and into his arms, Botan stumbled forward weakly.
She sat on her knees, eyes full of desperation and need, as her arms lifted to reach for him, it so reminded Kurama of a young child wanting their mother.
"Hey. What's going on." Seriousness wrapped Yusuke's voice, stepping out into the small clearing.
Kurama let out a sigh, gesturing to Botan. "I'll tell you later. Let's just get them to Yukina's." Yusuke frowned deeply, but went over, his shoes splashing the mud about his jeans.
"Botan?" She looked at him, eyes large and innocent. Something was off, not right. He bent down, winding his arms about her smaller form.
He picked her up, and began to carry her in the same direction Kurama had went.
"What happened to you Botan...?" He whispered in worriment, watching as the deity fell into a deep and soundless slumber.
Kuwabara jumped in slight surprise as the a low rapping came from the front door, of Genkai's old shrine.
He stood from his bed, and slid the shoji screen open. Walking out into the hall he came to the entrance.
"Huh! Guys what're ya doing here!?" Kuwabara did not seem to notice Hiei or Botan.
"Idiot what reasons would we have coming here so late at night." Kuwabara scratched his chin in thought then shrugged.
"I don't know...? You're not trying to steal Yukina from me are you cause-"
Kurama waved his hand in dismissal. "Hiei's hurt." Kuwabara eyed the fire demon. "What shorty finally got the crap beat out of 'im?" He laughed good-naturedly.
Yusuke growled eyes closing in exasperation. "Listen where's Yukina, we need her to heal them."
Kuwabara stepped back from the door and to let them in. "Um... last I cheek she was trying ta get the baby ta sleep."
Kurama nodded bringing Hiei to a vacant couch. Yusuke did the same.
"Kuwabara what's-Oh!" Yukina gasped immediately scrambling to Botan, who was now shivering uncontrollably.
"What happened to them?" She questioned indicating to the fire demon and Botan.
"We're not sure...?" Kurama said, gaze roving over each friend. "But I think you should heal Hiei."
Yukina went over to the man lying on her couch, and put her hands above his chest, her eyes closed briefly as she concentrated on her energy.
A soft glow formed about her hands and surrounded Hiei.
Slowly his body became flawless, not a bruise, burn, or scratch. But with growing curiosity she eyed his right.
For some reason it just wouldn't heal.
She looked at Kuwabara. "Dear can you go and get me one of the yukata's in the guest room?" Kuwabara nodded vigorously, and disappeared down the hall and out of sight.
