The spirit world portal appeared and they walked into it, Reana with
help from Kurama.
"Lets go home." said Yusuke. "I am beat."
As they walked, Kurama thought about the way he had seen Reana fight. She was very strong, and fast, for a human, she was also very intelligent. As he thought back on other battles he had seen her fight in, he began to think about how she had won those fights. She could predict moves and plan tactics to counter them in moments. He glanced at Yusuke and Kuwabara, who were walking slightly ahead of Reana and him. He decided that he wanted to talk with her but, he didn't want to risk anyone of the others over hearing him. Since Reana had telepathic abilities that wouldn't be a problem.
'Reana?' he thought to her. Reana glanced at him briefly before responding.
'Yes?' she thought.
'I way that attack, the one you used to take out all the demons, what was it?' he thought to her. He asked, even though he pretty much knew the answer.
'It was just an energy wave spread into a thin line. Since there were so man demons single strikes were pointless. It wasn't a lot of energy, it was just concentrated into a thin wave and spread out.' she responded silently.
'You are a good fighter, have you ver thought of finding someone to train you? You have a lot of ability.' he asked.
'No, not really. I mean, since Genkai has Yusuke, I don't really think that she really wants to take on another student. And its not like I could just march into demon world asking for someone to help me.'she thought back to him. He paused for a moment , then replied.
'Well, after watching your fighting, I noticed you have made a lot of progress on your own, I believe that with a little help you could greatly improve your abilities. And, if you wanted, I would be willing to help train you.' he glanced at her when she realized silent for a moment, to try and see what she was thinking. For a moment her face was unreadable, then she smiled slightly and turned to look at him.
'You mean I?' she asked. He smiled back at her.
'Yes, I do.' he replied. She smiled wider, then winced as she accidently put a little too much weight on her knee.
'Thanks, Kurama.' she thought to him.
'No problem,' he replied, 'When we get back we should go to my house, and I'll help you with you knee, and we'll talk more about training.' she smiled and they continued walking in mental silence.
One they had returned to the human in Yusuke's city, they all parted ways. Hiei was the first to leave, then Kuwabara, ans as Yusuke was about to leave, Reana turned to him spoke.
"Yusuke, I am going to Kurama's house, he is going to help me with my wound. I'll be back to your house later." Yusuke glanced at the pair, Reana still being supported by Kurama.
"Sure, whatever." was his simple reply and he turned and left.
"Kurama, do you think your mother will mind that I ma coming to your house?" Asked Reana s they headed to Kurama's.
"Well, she is out of town right now, so we'll be alright." said Kurama. They walked slowly to Kurama's, so that they wouldn't mess with her knee more.
By the time they got to Kurama's, the sun had gone down and it was getting dark. Once they had reached his porch, Kurama tried to find the key his mother had left for him to get into the house. After a minute of his searching, Reana smiled and leaned over, placed two fingers on the lock and a moment later a click was heard as the lock opened. Kurama glanced at her ans smiled. They went inside and Kurama helped Reana to his room.
Reana sat on Kurama's bed while he was looking for something to help the pain. He found what he was looking for, some herbs, and came over to her with a hot damp rag. He crushed the herbs and paced them on the rag and wrapped it around her knee. She winced as the hot water touched her wound.
"I could do this the normal/human way and pull the blade out with my fingers, but I think that this will be easier if I do it my way." he stated before pulling a seed out of nowhere. Reana wonder what he was going to with it, but stayed quiet. Kurama fed the seed with his energy for a moment, then once the seed sprouted, sh held the plant next to her knee.
"This will hurt a little." said Kurama, then he made the plant grow into her open wound. She clenched her teeth. He had made one of the biggest understatements of his life. The pain was incredible. She felt the plant grow around the blade. She wondered vaguely how it must hurt when Kurama used his death plant on people. This was just in her knee, with opponents it was all over their bodies.
The plant dislodged the blade and pulled it out. Kurama held the blade in his fingers, examining it. Reana put a hand on her knee and healed it. When Kurama had checked the blade, and found no trace of poison, he threw it away. Reana flexed her knee then stood up to test it.
"I don't think there was poison on the blade, so you should be fine." said Kurama.
"Thanks said Reana, and she put more weight on her led. Kurama watched for a moment ans she continued to test her led for a few more minutes. Once she was satisfied, she walked to Kurama's door. She had only taken a few step when both her knees buckled and she fell the floor. Kurama went over to her and helped her to try and stand but she fell down again.
"I guess that energy wave took more out of me then I thought, huh?" she said softly.
"You can stay her for to night. I don't think that Yusuke will mind." Kurama replied.
"But wont your mother mind?" asked Reana.
"Don't worry, like I said, she is out of town and she wont be back until next week." he replied. He put his arm around behind her shoulders to support her, and tried to help her to stand.
"But do you have enough room?" she asked as she tried to stand. But even with Kurama's help she could not support her own weight and slipped back to the floor.
"Don't worry." came his reply again, "We have a spare room." He lifted her and sat her on his bed. "I'll get you some tea to held you sleep, then I'll fix up your room." he smiled quickly, then left. Once he had left she took the opportunity to look around.
His room was, unsurprisingly, clean and organized. He had a shelf for his books and a desk, and other such things. She breathed in. She hadn't noticed before, but his room didn't smell of indoors. In had the faint smell fo trees and forest. She liked that smell. She glanced at his night stand and saw two picture frames. One had a picture of them all int it; Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Botan, Keiko, herself, even Hiei have been some how roped into the picture. She smiled at the picture. She had to turn the second picture to see it properly. It was a picture of his mother. It was taken in front of the house, by the tree in the yard. It was a nice picture and she had to smile at this one too. In the bottom corner of the frame she noticed a second picture, this one was torn and creased slightly.
It was of some girl that Reana didn't recognize. The picture was of a young girl, probably still in elementary school. It was obviously old, so the girl would be several years older in real life. The girl had straight brown hair and smooth pale tan skin. She was dressed in a skirt and blouse. She picture was old enough that she couldn't tell the color of the girls eyes, but she had a beautiful smile. Reana contemplated pulling out the picture to see if there was a name on the back, but when she heard Kurama coming she quickly turned the picture back to its original direction and looked to the door.
He walked into the room with a pillow and blanket under one arm, and a cup of tea in this other hand. She yawned involuntarily and he smiled.
"Tired are we?" he said gently and gave her the cup.
"Not really." she said, though it was partly a lie. "Thanks" she said when he gave her the cup.
"Your welcome." he replied. "I am going to make your bed." and he turned and left. Once he left she sniffed the tea, then took a drink, careful not to burn herself. She suddenly began to feel drowsy. She had to blink to keep her eyes open. She set the cup down on Kurama's night stand when she could no longer keep her hand up. She decided to put her head down for a moment, but before she could stop herself she had fallen asleep.
"I finished your room, I ..." Kurama stopped mid-sentence and smiled. Reana had fallen asleep on his bed, though it looked as if she hadn't meant to, because her legs were still hanging off the edge. He went over to her and lifted her legs onto the bed and pulled the sheets over her. He then walked back out, flicked the lights out and went to sleep in the guest room.
I am sorry for the very long wait for this chapter. But you see, it is quite difficult to type when you have broken some fingers. It has taken me awhile to get this chapter up, but now that I have the use of both hands and all my fingers again, I will be able to once again be able to update, and I am hoping to put up new chapters a much quicker pace. Thank you for waiting for my new chapters, and please Read and Review!! MaverickSoldier
