"Hey Kurama! How's it-" The black-haired boy stopped when he noticed the condition his friend was in.
(Remember, we (Lani) don't know who Kurama is...)
Suichi didn't even stop to acknowledge the Detective. He kept running through the seemingly endless corridor toward the Otherworld infirmary. His friend would die soon, if she wasn't taken care of immediately.
"Kurama!" the boy yelled again. He was running after him, trying to figure out why he was ignoring him. This wasn't Kurama's fashion, not at all.
Finally, at the end of the hall, he burst through the doors to the infirmary, and yelled "We need some help!" A few Other world nurses came out , and prepared a table quickly.
"There's a gash on her head and neck. She's lost too much blood." He explained. The doctor came up, and examined Laena's limp self, before he collected her into his arms, and went into the intensive care room in the back.
A small child walked into the room, seeing the human get carried off, and turning to watch Kurama look on in worry, and uncertainty. "Come on, Kurama. Let's go." said the child with the pacifier, as he tugged on the boy's pant leg to lead him out.
"Kurama what happened?" The child asked. Then the black-haired boy barged in, his tone not helping Kurama's fayed nerves. "Hey, Kurama, what's going on? Why're you all torn up?" The red-haired boy looked at him, and then at himself, realizing he too had been scratched. "We were attacked, Yusuke." He said grimly.
"Where?" asked the child. "In the park, I was walking with her, and then this demon showed up, and separated us, so I didn't see what he did to her." His hand balled into a fist. "I don't know why we were attacked."
"And I assume there's nothing left to question." Yusuke quietly finished. Kurama shook his head solemnly.
Yusuke looked down, and thought for a moment. "Koenma, will your services be able to help?" He asked the child.
"I believe so. She is only human, and we have better technology then those human doctors, so I believe she'll be fine."
Kurama still sat quietly. But what if she was hurt? What if he violated her? He asked himself. He berated himself for not being quicker; for letting his guard down.
"Yusuke, where's Kuwabara?" Koenma asked, just noticing the big mouth wasn't around. "He had to take care of his kitten, and then run some errands with his sister." Yusuke shrugged.
Just then the door opened slightly, and a certain short, spiky-haired fire demon strode in. He took one look at the men around the desk, and then noticed his friend's state. However, all he did to acknowledge it was give a hard stare.
"Hey, Hiei." Yusuke greeted tiredly. Hiei walked over to the window sill and sat down. "What's the matter?"
Yusuke eyed Kurama before saying "His friend got really hurt." Hiei cocked his head to one side. "How?"
"If you'll excuse me, Koenma, I will go get cleaned up." Kurama said quietly, and he turned and walked out of the office.
"This may have something to do with your mission." Koenma said, looking at Yusuke. "I'll send Botan to do a little digging when Kurama is open to telling more."
"Yeah," Yusuke sighed. "I'll go see if I can get Kuwabara out here." And he too got up to leave. Hiei looked once to Koenma, and then disappeared.
Only to reappear in the hall by the office door. He waited patiently for Yusuke to close the door, and practically shout in surprise.
"Ahhh! What the Hell are you doing!" He yelled.
"Shut up." Hiei snapped. "What's wrong with Kurama?"
Yusuke sighed again, and said, "I guess he was out with this friend, and then they got attacked by a demon, and she lost a lot of blood. I'm not sure why he's so upset though." He finished, rubbing the back of his head. He saw the next question in Hiei's eyes and answered before the fire demon could ask. "And Koenma thinks maybe this could be the beginning of the event we're waiting for." With the barest of nods, Hiei disappeared again.
The fire demon quietly walked down the main corridor, towards the office. He was puzzled by his friend's worry. The only person Kurama was that attached to was his mother. As he walked, he caught a familiar scent, and stopped, dead in his tracks. No possible way. He looked about the hall, until his eyes settled on the last door on the right; the infirmary.
Half an hour later, Kurama had collected himself, and joined the Spirit Detectives for dinner. Koenma had sent a spelled message to the girl's family, influencing their thoughts about their daughter's whereabouts. Before he had gone to dinner, he went down to the recovery room, to see if Laena was there yet.
The doctor had told him she would be fine. She was getting blood put back into her veins, and she should resume consciousness before daybreak. At least, that's what he thought. Right now, no one knew what that bastard had done to knock her out.
"Food." Yusuke drooled from his spot. Come to think of it, Kurama hadn't eaten anything all day, except for that coffee with Laena that morning. They were going to go get dinner, and see a movie, but there was a major wrench thrown into that plan.
"What is the meal?" He asked, snapping back to the real world. "I dunno." Kuwabara shrugged at the other end of the table. "Hey, where's Shorty tonight?"
"Don't call him that." said the normally perky blue-haired girl in a scornful voice. She turned her attention to Kurama. "Are you feeling better?" She asked with a sympathetic expression. "Better, thank you Botan." Kurama nodded with a half-hearted smile.
"Come on, Kirk. Wake up." Laena said as she shook the man's foot. He startled awake, and crawled onto the cardboard with Lars and her brother and father. All five of them began to push the cardboard across the lawn, towards the invading red-neck family. They had to get them out. "How do we get them out?" asked her dad. They edged up to where the enemy set up camp, and Laena stood up on the card board, and took in a large breath and screamed. "YES!" she said when the Red-necks fled in terror.
With a smile spreading across her face, Laena's eyes fluttered open, as she stretched on the bed. Mmmm. That was nice. She mumbled. Then she noticed it was way too bright to be her room. Her eyes snapped open, and she pressed herself farther into the bed. "What?" she said very loudly. So she sat up, and felt a draft on her back. She slapped her back, which made her flinch because she had cuts there, but the slap was contacted with skin. She looked down. "Whoa!" she yelled as she realized she had little more than the sheet. She began looking for her clothes...
Don't you think that Hiei should have been in the World of The Black Jewels?
I mean, he's perfect. Perfectly irate.
Hiei: What are you talking about now?
Ackie: Oh, just how good you would look in a thong.
(Hiei's eyes bulge, and Ackie laughs hysterically.)
Ackie: No! No! I was kidding! I hate thongs. They are a disgrace to humanity, and degrading to whomever wears them seriously. Steve O, and Chris Pontius of Jack Ass do not count.
Lucivar: What was that about the world of the Black Jewels?
Ackie: Lucivar! (Hug) Um, I was just saying how Hiei should have been born into those times. Though, I'm not so sure he would have escaped the wrath of Dorothea SaDiablo. But maybe I'm just underestimating him.
(Bats eyelashes at Hiei)
Ackie: Yes, if Hiei were in that world, and were Blood, then he would have the Red Jewel. He'd be a Red-Jeweled Warlord Prince! Yee ha!
(Hiei stands kind of flabbergasted)
Ackie: And Kurama, he would have the Grey Jewel. His Birthright would be the Green. But I'm not sure if he'd be a Warlord or Warlord Prince. Maybe if it were Youko Kurama, then he's definitely be a Warlord Prince.. Hummmmmm.
And I could be their Black Widow Queen!
With my stunning Sapphire Jewel! But maybe my birthright should be the Green, and then I could be like Grizelle, the Gray Lady and stand against Dorothea! Muahahahahahah! Burn, baby, burn!
Rock on.
And in other news...
Well, it was longer, this chapter.
I have to finish the next.
And I really did have that dream with Kirk and Lars. it was something else.
And I really dislike that papa roach song. I hate them!
Thank you for your reviews! (smile) They were nice, and pretty, and I found joy in them!
