Sakura: Woooooooooo! REVIEWERS! Thanks a TON Y'all:) I won't get all of your reviews because my email sucks... >
Hiei: ...
Sakura: Wow, you're surprisingly quiet...
Hiei: What?
Sakura: O.o Now I've seen it all- you? Daydreaming! (laughing) Anyways, this is like, one of the last chapters that will be written in first person from the view of Sakura's diary. The next chapter is with Genkai and Yusuke etc. and it follows her around, considering the condition of her arms at the end of this chapter. I know that Sakura seems a little Mary-Sue sometimes-
Hiei: A little she says...
Sakura: I can't help it! But it's not like everyone will fall in love with her. She just has a good personality! If you know me, you'd think I was a frickin' Mary-Sue! So anyways, sorry about that. And do you think I should go really deep into the Rando thing? Cuz I don't think I will. It's not that important. Do you think Sakura should forgive Hiei easily? Or not so much... I need answers people!
Hiei: She doesn't own YYH, thank GOD.
Sakura: (swats Hiei) That's for you reborn-soul-09 :)
Hiei: (twitching)
Sakura: And thanks to AnonymousHieiFan(#'s) and ForestHanyou and also Hitokiri-of-the-Shadow.
Hiei: Sorry if she forgot anyone...
Sakura: On with the fic!
Chapter 3
The next couple of days were amazingly hectic. Me and Kurama cleaned like there was no tomorrow, we wanted to make sure it was nice when mom got home. We both made a promise to work EXTRA hard because we don't want her back at the hospital.
Hiei helped too. Sort of. Or maybe he just watched. Who cares? He was there which is a big step! All he did was look out the window- when I shook him and asked if he wanted lunch he nearly jumped a foot in the air! It made me laugh a little and he blushed, embarrassed he had been caught off guard. But as he left, he looked enlightened, as though an idea had struck him as I forced him to eat ningen food. It sort of scared me because I knew it had to do with that stupid sword of his. I swear, if he does anything stupid I'll beat him and ask questions later.
So, Hiei left and me and Kurama cleaned up from lunch- wondering what to do with the rest of our day. We decided to go grocery shopping. Unfortunately, our 16th birthday isn't for quite a while and Mom isn't home yet, so we had to walk. Joy. Although I have to admit it WAS good exercise. But anyways, we walked to the grocery store and about halfway there, Kurama turns around and looks a little disturbed.
I asked him what was wrong, he didn't answer. He just turned and ran off in the direction of the docks. I hadn't run that fast in forever, certainly not often as a human. I had to tap into my demon strength to keep up with Kurama.
When we finally reached the docks, Hiei's energy was off the charts. We ran inside the one where Hiei's Reikai was resonating. As we ran inside, I saw a strange looking girl with blue hair and even stranger energy. Kurama told me to go help her while he attended to Hiei. He left me no time to argue so I sullenly went over to the blue haired person, noticing another brown haired girl in front of her.
Instantly, I kneeled down next to the girl and watched as the blue haired girl tried to heal her. It was then that I noticed an eye on the unconscious girls forehead. I had to glare- knowing it was Hiei and his damned sword again.
I pushed aside the other girls cut and bleeding hands and replaced them with my own. I prayed to whoever it is who matters that my healing abilities would be enough to hold the demon eyes closed and keep this human in her natural state of humanity.
I heard a groan and blood leaking against the ground. With my keen sense of smell and hearing I could instantly tell it was Kurama's. I heard a cry and realized it was Hiei.
"Kurama! Are you out of your mind! You took my killing stroke!" that was Hiei. Who was he trying to kill? That Spirit Detective.
Then- "Kurama! You traitor! I'll massacre you!"
I lost my concentration a moment and felt the demonic energy from the eye slice up my arm. I turned my concentration back to healing the girl, trying to ignore the pain and once more praying that Hiei only spoke out of rage. My arm was still being sliced though, my concentration had been scattered and would not go back into place.
Kurama came running over to the three of us, a sword in his gut.
"Kurama! What the heck?" I shouted over to him, wincing as the lacerations of the eye became deeper.
I heard a blast coming from the direction that Kurama had come from and closed my eyes against the seething pain from lack of concentration and sensitive ears.
Kurama pulled the sword from his gut and unscrewed the hilt from the blade, giving it to the blue haired girl. I moved out of the way, forgetting about my arms and moved over to Kurama, muttering threats that I nearly meant.
I heard Hiei gasp, smelt his blood and heard it hit the ground in small amounts, but he was bleeding all the same. I felt his consciousness slip away and heard his small body fall to the ground.
I didn't care, shockingly. He threatened to kill Kurama. Nothing is stronger than the bonds of siblings- especially ours considering it all. After all I've been through, he has always been there for me. It strengthened our bond. I'll explain it all later, rest assured.
A boy walked over as I slumped over next to Kurama, checking his wound to see if he would live. His black hair was slicked back and he had a deficit of Reiki.
"Are you guys all right? Keiko! How's she…?" the boy started, his brown eyes blazed in fury and worry.
"She's fine, the antidote's working and the third eyes fading," the blue haired girl said.
"That's Yusuke Urameshi, spirit detective, and Botan, grim reaper and messenger for the Underworld," Kurama gasped out at my confused look.
"Stop talking and rest, idiot." I said, swiping at the tears stinging at my eyes.
"I owe you man," the boy called Yusuke stepped toward Kurama, inquiry in his eyes.
"Don't sweat it. I'll be ok. My trials pending so I'll stay home and mend." Kurama replied.
"You better believe it! Screw school, you're staying home if I have to TIE you to the damn couch!" I shouted, blushing slightly at my outburst.
"Introduction time Kurama, who's the chick?" Yusuke grinned mischievously.
"That 'chick' would be my sister, and I can assure you that she does not like being called that." Kurama smiled slightly.
I was fuming silently at that point.
"Er, anyways, you could have let us in on that little plan of yours you rascal!" Botan said, smiling at the Spirit Detective.
"You think I had a plan? It was a flash of insight! I just realized he was so fast I'd never bag him with a direct shot!" Yusuke had replied.
"Gah! What were you going to do if that didn't work?" I had to shout- he was so dense.
"I dunno, just think of something else I guess,"
"So you didn't have a plan after all. I think I'm beginning to see how you work," Kurama sighed out, smiling.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean!" Yusuke retorted.
"Exactly what itsounds like, bakka!" I had shouted back.
We walked home, Kurama leaned on me and I tried to indirectly heal him. We didn't notice the heavily bleeding lacerations on my arms until we got home. Once I cleaned up his wound, he helped with mine. I sent him off to bed and luckily he didn't protest.
I brought a snack to my room and began to type this- the events of today. But I am tired from all this healing. It's not my specialty and takes a lot out of me. So good night to you, my little diary. I will not write for a long while, my arms aching as they are.
Sakura: Yeah, that's all for now... :) Swimming again! YAAAY!
Hiei: GO AWAY NICK!
Sakura: Not again... Nick's my lil bro... sometimes he inhabits Hiei's mind... >:)
Hiei: (whimper) You're brother's uber freaky.
