Chapter 15: liars tigers and bears oh my!
Hiei and Karuka were floating unconscious down the river they had fell into furthering themselves from the storm. Their bodies got caught in some weeds growing by the side of the river stopping them from going any further. Karuka was the first to wake up.
"What?" Karuka held her bleeding head and looked at her surroundings. She saw Hiei at the side of her. Then, he began to stir.
"Hiei?" She asked now looking at his bleeding head.
"What?" He looked up at Karuka dumbfounded at what had happened and at that moment he felt the pain from his head.
*groan* the two stood up still unaware at what was going on.
"What happened?" Karuka asked.
Hiei turned to the river and saw blood in it.
"I think we fell into the river. We must have been unconscious." He answered.
The two were holding their bleeding heads and looked at each other.
"Wait, I remember. Something hit my head and I fell into the river. Was that you?" Karuka asked.
"Hn, yes it was."
"Were you really that mad at me?" Karuka asked.
"Shut up. It was the wind that pushed me over. You just happened to be in the way."
"If the wind did that then maybe you should put on a couple more pounds before a breeze pushes you over a cliff."
"Shut up. We need to get back." Hiei said looking up stream to see how far they had gone.
"Judging by the speed of the river and the amount of time we were floating down it, I would say that we're 25 miles to 30 miles away from them, give or take a mile." Karuka said.
"Great, that shouldn't take long." Hiei said pissed at how far away they were.
The two began to walk up the river, both silent.
*~ half an hour later ~*
"How far do you think we've gone?" Karuka asked.
"Hn."
"Really, I would have guessed at least five miles." Karuka said sarcastically.
"Why don't we run? We're both about the same speed, and if we're lucky we could get there by nightfall." Hiei asked Karuka.
"Because, we both have head wounds that need to heal. If we do anything fast pace like running we'll probably bleed to death, and it will be faster since it's the head we're talking about."
Hiei stared at her surprised that she knew even a little about healing.
"My mom was a healer, she drove those things into my head." Karuka said not even looking at Hiei.
"We should probably get some food or we'll waste our energy." She said.
"But we're walking." Hiei told her.
"Yes we are stump, but any physical activity burns calories and if we don't get food soon we'll slow down. Now do you want to get back faster or do you want to stay with me longer and listen to my babbling about health related things?" Karuka asked stopping to look at Hiei.
"Come on." He said walking towards the forest.
"That's what I thought." Karuka followed.
"Where is your spear? Maybe we could have fish or something." Hiei jumped into a tree to scan the area.
"What makes you think that I'm going to catch your food for you?" She asked angrily.
"I can make you do so or I might have to 'carve the turkey' if you know what I mean." He said.
"It's lost in the river." Karuka said, because she knew what he meant.
"Was it your only one?"
"Yes. But I can make a new one."
"A new one?" Hiei sounded curious.
"Yes, I can make another spear." Karuka said.
"How?" Hiei asked but he wouldn't stay put to hear her answer.
The tree Hiei was standing on blew up and he dodged out of the way just in time.
"Who's there?" Karuka asked producing her claws.
"Coming into another's territory is not a good thing for strangers to do." A deep voice came out of the trees behind Karuka and a spear was thrown at her head.
She dodged it and it connected with a tree in front of her.
"My spear." Karuka ran towards the spear but was cut off by a very tall and very masculine bear demon.
"This is my territory get out!" He yelled at her.
"Why is this your territory? Did you piss on it or something?" Karuka said agitating the demon. He growled and took a swing towards Karuka, she dodged and landed on the tree behind him.
The bear demon landed on all four paws then stood up again and turned around. Karuka was gone and so was the spear.
"Looks like it's just you and me." The demon turned around to be faced with Hiei.
"If I have to fight a munchkin to get you out so be it." Hiei was pissed at the munchkin pun and attacked him.
Hiei drew his sword and lunged towards the bear at incredible speed. He stabbed him right in the stomach and felt glory as he heard him scream out in pain. But the second time he screamed Hiei was confused. He jumped back as the demon fell forward and was surprised to see a spear embedded into his back. He looked up and saw Karuka walking towards him with a smirk on her face.
"And where were you?" Hiei asked her.
"Try and guess. I was on the tree."
"Shadow form?" Karuka nodded.
"Hn, I could have handled him myself." Hiei said.
"Well he didn't think so, munchkin." Said Karuka into Hiei's ear as she walked past him with the spear in her hand. Hiei aimed his sword at Karuka's head and was about to attack but Karuka defended with the spear.
"If you can't take some height jokes then one of us won't live through these missions. And I don't think that's it's gonna be me to die." She said holding back the force of Hiei's sword very well.
Hiei withdrew and sheathed his sword.
"Hn." He began to walk away as the sun began to set.
'Well, I might as well catch some fish for myself.' Karuka thought while she walked toward the river.
Hiei sat in a tree watching Karuka spear fish, she was quite good at it. He sat and watched as her pile grew from five fish, to ten, to sixteen. One thing Hiei would never do was admit that someone else was right and he was wrong, but he was getting hungry.
Karuka stopped her spearing and took her load of fish to go and cook over a fire. When it was made and the fish were cooking Hiei couldn't help but smell.
'Damnit. I had a slight chance of her being a horrible cook and she's not. But I still can't go down there and ask for some, she'll shove that in my face and probably won't even give me any.' Hiei thought with his eyes closed smelling the cooked salmon. He looked down and saw Karuka take the fish off the spear that she was cooking it on and begin to eat.
'Damnit.'
*~ down with Karuka ~*
'Stupid stump. Won't even let a little competition get through that rough outside of his. At least he won't get any of this fish, stupid stump. He looks hungry though. Oh wait, that's his mad face never mind.' Karuka shoved the fish down her throat but looked at Hiei the whole time wondering if he was hungry.
'Stupid kind genes I got from my mother. Karuka took a fish that had cooled off a bit and jumped onto the branch that Hiei sat on.
"What?" Hiei asked surprised at the fish in her hand.
"Here." Karuka put the food in front of his face."
"And what's this for?" He asked.
"To slap your opponents' silly with, it's to eat stupid." She told him.
"Why are you doing this?" Karuka hesitated to find an answer.
"Because, like I said before, physical activity burns calories and you haven't eaten anything today. I don't want to be carrying your butt all day tomorrow."
"Sure, liar." Hiei said about to take the fish.
"What?" Karuka pulled the salmon back away from Hiei's reach.
"I called you a liar." Hiei seemed cool waiting for Karuka to react.
"Fine, then I won't give you the fish." Hiei wasn't expecting that and Karuka leapt down to return to the burning fire.
'Damnit.' Hiei couldn't take it, he was hungry and he had to take this 'like a man' as Kuwabara would say. He leapt down and stood next to Karuka who lay against a tree trunk.
"What is it stump?" Karuka stuck the fish that she offered to Hiei in her mouth.
"Give me the fish." He demanded.
"I'm not going to give you any if you act like that you rude munchkin." Karuka looked up at him with an angered look in her eyes, though they stayed green.
"Hn, fine. May I... May I," Hiei winced at his kindness, "May I please have some fish?" Hiei felt sickened.
"Now that was just wrong, I know you lied but fine." She handed a fish to Hiei and to her surprise instead of jumping back into the tree he sat by her. She gave a light smirk and continued to eat and put another fish on the spear.
By the time they ran out of fish it was late at night, they hadn't said one word to each other. Karuka stood up and jumped into a tree to sleep. Hiei did the same but into a different tree right across from Karuka's. Karuka had her eyes closed but Hiei stared at her for a bit thinking of breaking her exterior like others tries to do with him. He could tell that Karuka could feel his eyes on her so he looked away and closed his eyes to sleep.
'Stupid stump.' Hiei read her mind and was still angry at that name. He wondered how anyone could last even a week with this girl. His thoughts ceased as he drifted off to sleep.
