World in Darkness
Author's Note: At long, long last, an update! Sorry, about the long time period between updates; dear old school has started once again, and I write mainly in my flex period time, and on occasion I do evil homework. Well, one way or another, here is your update. Please, enjoy!
Yuikan stood in amazement. He couldn't't believe what had happened. TadeyaKana was standing in front of him.
"Now, who is speechless?" Tadeya asked, glaring angrily at Yuikan.
"Well, well, looked like my plan worked. I knew you wouldn't't have been able to resist when your human form was attacked," a mysterious voice said, shooting three beams of light. One grazing her arm, the other grazing her side, and the last one broke Maseru's orb.
Maseru, Yuikan, and Caesura fell to the ground like someone just let go of their hold on them. Tadeya stood frozen in place; she was being held there by an invisible force.
"That is a good girl. Now, let's exercise some of these numerous powers you contain," the mysterious voice continued, laughing as Kana's body was taken over by the unseen enemy.
"Why are you?" Tadeya asked, doing her best to fight her enemy's hostile take-over of her body.
"You know who I am. I am something you can't see, but I am dangerous," the mysterious voice said, continuing to enter the kitsune's body.
Deora and Kurama quickly ran to the arena. Kana had shot three arrows; two of them had backfired on her while one arrow hit Maseru's orb. Then all the participants fell to the ground.
"What do you want with me?" Tadeya said, ignoring the voices riddle.
"Your power, you sight, and your soul," the voice answered, laughing at the kitsune.
Kurama started shaking Kana. "Wake up, please, Kana wake up." Kurama pleaded, trying to awaken Kana.
Deora came up next to her. "That isn't how you should try to wake up a person," Deora said, raising an eyebrow at the concerned look on the red head's face.
Deora sat next to Kana, thinking desperately of what the plan of action should be, when it donned on her.
"That bug spray, when the bugs enter your eyes. Will it create an illusion or anything?" Deora asked, becoming hopeful that she figured it out.
"The side effects of the spray are unknown," Kurama said, looking at Deora, concern ever present in his eyes.
Deora got up, going towards Yuikan and searching the unconscious demon's pockets, looking for the antidote to the spray; her hand came in contact with a glass bottle with a light blue elixir in it. She took the bottle, noticing the lack of breath coming from the demon. 'That is odd, but I'll worry about that later. Kana is more important,' Deora thought, running back over to Kurama and Kana.
"Do you think this will help her?" Deora asked, handing the bottle to Kurama.
Kurama examined the elixir carefully. "It should do something," Kurama replied, carefully placing a lining of the elixir over Kana's eyelashes.
Tadeya heard the voice start screaming, as though something or someone was killing it. Just then someone turned her around by her shoulder.
"Kana, it's ok now, it is gone," Kurama said, looking at her with gentle eyes.
Kana started to slowly open her eyes when someone placed their hand over them.
"The sunlight is going to be too harsh for them right now," Kurama said, gently.
"What happened? What is going on right now?" Kana listed only some of the numerous questions she had.
"What all do you remember?" Deora asked, knowing Kana should remember she transformed.
"Voices screaming. That is the last thing I remember," Kana said, wishing Kurama would remove his hand.
"Hey, if you are done chatting over there, let's get out of here," Yusuke yelled at the three on the battle arena.
Kurama ripped off some of Kana's sash, wrapping it around Kan's head to keep the sun out of her eyes as much as possible. Kurama picked up Kana, looking at Deora to see if she was ready. Deora didn't bother nodding to Kurama; she just started running back to the portal in the middle of the forest.
Once on the other side back in the human world Deora waited for the others. Kurama and Kana came after her, then Yusuke, Botan, Kuwabara, and Hiei.
"Will someone care to explain to me what is going on here?" Deora demanded with a look that could kill.
"Not now," Kurama said, looking at Kana. "She needs medical attention, and then I'll explain it to you then."
"That is fine by me, as long as someone explains this," Deora said, still glaring at them.
"I need to go tell Koenma what has happened," Botan said, running away from the group. The rest soon followed the suit, saying their farewells, not wanting to be victim to Deora's temper.
"Shall we be on our way?" Kurama asked, turning towards the hospital.
Kurama didn't pay attention to Deora's death glare; he just continued walking down the sidewalk.
"How did you know where to find the portal?" Kana asked, her blind folded eyes looking towards Deora.
"Someone sent me an e-mail stating where it was," Deora said, her glare lessening a little.
"Now answer me this Kana, how did you meet him?" Deora asked, pointing at Kurama, even though she knew Kana couldn't see.
"Well, do you remember the tutor I have?" Kana asked, a little nervous.
"Yes..." Deora said, becoming a little suspicious.
"Shuichi is my tutor." Kana said, happily.
They stopped right in front of the hospital, Deora still digesting what she heard. 'So he is the mystery tutor...but he has to be more than that; a friend? A boyfriend?' Deora thought, as they finally walked into the hospital.
"Why did you have to bring me here?" Kana asked, a pout forming on her face.
"Because you need medical attention, Kana," Kurama told her, smiling, knowing she was going to complain until they left.
"I have been here too much," Kana declared, not wanting to be in the hospital.
"Whose fault is that?" Kurama asked, tensing her.
"Not you, too. I save two little kids lives and pay the price for it, and everyone makes it out to be a bad thing," Kana complained, making a pout at Kurama.
Kurama laughed a little, walking over to the nurse's counter to get a doctor to look over Kana. A familiar nurse turned around, and beamed when she saw the two, before she noticed Kurama was carrying Kana.
"Hello there, Mr. Minimono. To what may I own the pleasure of this visit?" The nursed asked, putting a smile on.
"Kana got into an accident that damaged her eyes; I was wondering if the doctor could see her?" Kurama asked politely. The nurse went over to Kana.
"Mind if I take off the blindfold?" The nurse asked, Kurama knowing Kana wouldn't mind at all.
Kurama shook his head; the nurse took off the blindfold, and her neutral look turned into a frown. The girl's chocolate orbs looked fogged over; they stared at you without really seeing you.
"How long have they been like this?" the nurse asked, really angry with what she had seen.
"About thirty minutes," Kurama dutifully answered.
The nurse nodded. "I'll get the doctor," the nurse said, leaving to fetch the doctor.
Kurama took Kana to place her in a chair; Deora was close by, still glaring at Kurama.
"What, the nurse wasn't there?" Kana asked, she had heard some of the conversation, and she saw some blurry figures, but she thought it was all in her head.
"I got the nurse, Kana. Don't worry; the doctor will be here momentarily," Kurama said, placing a hand on Kana's head to reassure her.
The nurse came back with a smile on her face. "The doctor will see her now," she said, walking over to Kana with a hand out to her.
"I need to talk to Deora, so you are going with the nurse," Kurama said, placing Kana's hand into the nurse's.
"I'll make sure she is ok, Shuichi," the nurse said, guiding Kana out of the waiting room into the doctor's office.
"What all do you want me to explain?" Kurama asked, taking Kana's seat.
"Why was Kana fighting?" Deora stormed at Kurama.
"To protect human world from an invasion; beyond that I do not know," Kurama said, looking at Deora.
"You like her, don't you?" Deora asked, wanting to confirm her suspicions.
Kurama's head shot up, looking at Deora wide-eyed with surprise, but it was enough to confirm what Deora suspected. 'So he is the one Kana has been seeing,' Deora thought, starting to smile, which shocked Kurama.
"I hope Kana is ok," Kurama said, looking at the doors and waiting for her to come through them.
"If she can survive being hit by a car, I think a little eye damage isn't going to hurt her," Deora said, trying to reassure the red-haired boy.
Meanwhile, the nurse sat Kana onto the examining table, but the room and the nurse was extremely blurry. 'I was better off with the blindfold; this is just giving me a headache," Kana thought, her head starting to hurt.
"Can you see anything in front of you?" the nurse asked, pointing at a poster on the far wall.
Kana looked in the direction of the wall, but it really didn't't help her. "No, it is all blurry."
The nurse nodded as the doctor finally entered the room. The nurse handed him her file.
"My favorite patient returns. It seems that you have some really extensive eye damage," the doctor said, taking a seat in front of her and shining a light in her eyes, noticing a lot of damaged tissues. "No wonder everything is blurry; I am shocked you aren't blind. Whatever you did, it did a lot of damage that can't be repaired."
Kana stared at the blurry form of the doctor. "It's that bad?"
"Yes, it is that bad. I am going to have to call your father. 1: Because you need glasses to correct the blurriness so you can partially see again, 2: He needs to know this information," the doctor told her, leaving the room to go make the phone call.
