Note: This story be mostly in Hiei's POV.It's been nearly six months since she closed her eyes. After the battle I had taken her to Genkai's temple. I didn't bother telling the others about what had happened. They would've found out soon enough anyway.

I picked up Amara and opened a portal to Genkai's. I didn't bother knocking; I simply ran into the temple and called for Genkai."Genkai!" I called. The old woman came from another room and looked at me strangely for a moment before she realized the bloody girl in my arms.
"Bring her in here!" She said as she turned and walked quickly into a spare room. She motioned for me to place her on the bed and, force once, I did as I was told.
I placed her there and stood over her. Genkai returned to the room moments later with bandages and other medical supplies. She didn't bother with questions at that point and she shoved me out of the room and told me to wait outside while she treated Amara.
I waited for a while, leaning against the wall beside the door. I kept myself busy with my thoughts. Before she fell into unconsciousness, she said that she had fallen for me. Did I feel the same way? I thought back to when we were in the Oasis and how I felt when I held her in my arms and watched her sleep. Then when she awoke, I treated her coldly and she said that I needed someone to melt my ice-covered heart.
At that time I had fooled myself into thinking that I didn't feel what I did. But when Meera said that she had a feeling that Amara may not make it out of this fight, I realized I did indeed have feelings for the Princess.
The door beside me opened and Genkai stepped out. She had a solemn look on her face. I looked at her expectantly.
"I pulled out the arrows but they are a special type that drain power and will not allow me to heal her." Genkai said. My face remain impassive as she relayed the news. "All I could do was rap her wounds." I was silent for a moment before I spoke.
"When will she wake?" I asked slowly.
"I do not know. All we can do is wait." Genkai answered honestly. "But I want to know some things." She demanded. I nodded an explained everything that had happened.
When I finished, she nodded in understanding. "Do you care for her?" She asked.
"Hn."
"I'll take that as a yes. She can stay here for however long it takes."

That was six months ago. For all that time, Amara has been in a strange coma. Koenma said she should have awoken a long time ago but for some reason she can't. No one can explain what is going on and we're not sure if she'll even wake up.Along with watching over Amara I have also taken over as a sort of a temporary ruler for Atlantis. Some Atlantians had managed to escape to some hidden caverns in the mountains and they started to appear shortly after the battle. Kurama decided to stay with Meera and help with the reconstruction of Atlantis. Meera offered me the chance to watch over everything, she said Amara would have wanted it to be that way. I agreed and since have traveled between the two worlds.
They decided to start with the palace first and were able to find blue prints of the palace. The palace turned out well, not the same and it probably wouldn't hold the same meaning it had once held for Amara.
I would stay in Atlantis during the day and return at night to stay with Amara. I had considered bringing her sleeping for to Atlantis, a place where, when she awoke, would be familiar to her. But I ended up leaving her in Ningenkai.
Often I would wonder if when she awoke if she would feel the same way. Since the time she fell into the coma, my feelings have grown but I also secretly feared that she would not feel the same way and reject me. Not that I could blame her though. Who would want a convicted felon for a mate?
I sighed and looked at her sleeping form. She hadn't changed much over the past few months. Well, her hair had grown longer; it reached the end of her back now. Genkai had changed her clothes so she was now wearing a pair of black pajamas.
I looked back over to the window and saw the first of the sun's rays. I got off the windowsill and to a certain place on the wall and touched it. The wall swirled with a blue light. Koenma had placed a permanent portal to Atlantis there so I could travel back and forth easily. I stepped through and felt the familiar sensation of falling. I landed softly on the ground.
I was at the place where I had found Amara before the battle. She had found some sort of comfort in this place and I was beginning to feel it too. But I pushed that thought aside. I had more important things to worry about.
With that in mind I went to the newly restored palace.
