Once she was on the porch she sighed, "Well, whatever. I guess I'll talk to you later, Hiei." she turned back to go inside but paused when he spoke.
"I am not giving sympathy or anything, but you should just ignore that baby. So what if they know about you. Who cares. But its not like I care, or anything." with that he disappeared, just as she turned around. She smiled slightly after him then turned around and went inside when she could no longer sense his energy.
It had been about 10:30 when she had left Kurama's house, now it was nearly 12:00. She sighed heavily as she slipped off her shoes at the entrance. Her legs suddenly started shaking and she leaned up against the wall to keep from falling over.
After all that running and anger Reana's body's weakness had finally caught up with her. She knew this was the something that she had been forgetting. She kept her hands on the walls for support as she headed for the couch in the living room. She refused to allow herself to collapse on the floor again. This time it wasn't her entire body that was exhausted, only her legs were losing touch with her brain.
'Its probably better that my legs are numb, rather then the splitting pain that would probably issuing from my knee.' she thought. Eventually, with much stress, she had made her way to the couch and slumped down on it. She sat there for a while, allowing herself time to regain feeling in her legs.
"Hmm..I wonder where Yusuke is?" she wondered out loud. She barely had time to get the words out of her mouth when her ears picked up the sound of Yusuke arguing loudly with someone. She watched the door quietly and barely a second later the door swung open and, low and behold, there was Yusuke 'discussing' loudly with Kuwabara. Standing behind them quietly, looking not at all happy, was Botan.
"Speak of the devil." muttered Reana. Botan somehow managed to hear the small sound of her remark and instantly looked up. The ferry girl caught sight of Reana on the couch and just as quickly shoved through the two boys.
"Reana! There you are dear!" said Botan. She ran around in front of Reana with a worried look gracing her features. "Are you alright dear?! You looked in pretty bad shape when I last waw you." she stated. Reana was about to reply when Yusuke finally caught the sight of Reana.
"Well, well, well, look you finally showed up. Have fun sleeping over at Kurama's?" he said, with his normal cocky tone.
"Can-it Yusuke. I am not in the mood." Reana replied harshly.
"What? I was being serious!" He whined.
"In that case, if you enjoy having knife blades pulled out of you nice and slow, fun, then yes. I had fun." she stated sarcastically.
"That sounds painful, you will be alright though, won't you?" Asked Botan.
"Yes, yes, I'll be fine in a few days." Reana said, hoping to quell Botan's worries. "You know you worry too much sometimes."
"Yeah yeah, Reana's a big tragic hero. Blah blah blah. Anyway, I am hoping to take some real vacation time." Yusuke said loudly.
"Yeah man, with all the mission things that keep coming up its getting hard to do anything normal any more." said Kuwabara giving his two bits.
"Well your job is to do those things, even if they are unpleasant." said Botan knowingly. Reana sighed as she instantly tired of the argument. "Hey wait a minute," said Botan suddenly, and everyone turned to look at her. "Don't you boys have school today? Its Tuesday after all." Yusuke put on his cocky-trying-to-be-innocent smile with his hand behind his head.
"Yeah well," he paused for a moment trying to come up with an excuse. "Nobody there misses me. Besides," he stated matter-of-factly, "Kurama didn't go to school either." he put on his face of victory, and Kuwabara nodded in agreement to save himself.
"Kurama stayed home to take care of Reana." said Botan with a slight edge of agitation to her voice.
"Yeah, and how come she doesn't have to go to school?" he asked pointing to Reana.
"Because," Growled Botan, "She is supposed to be dead!" Yusuke was about to reply when a loud yawn reached all of their ears. They all turned and saw Reana shift, before breathing deeply.
Her eyes were closed; she had fallen asleep in her boredom and exhaustion. Yusuke crossed his arms in defense but refused to speak. Botan sighed defeat and they all left to let Reana sleep. When everyone was gone, Reana cracked an eye and looked around.
"Finally." she said with much exasperation and clicked on the tv.
For three days she rested, allowing her energy to return and her knee to heal.
