Chapter 19: so close
Hiei was running through the forest trying his hardest to get Karuka to Kurama so he could give her the desired antidote. All the way though, he couldn't help but wonder why she did it? Why would she put herself in front of that dart just to have a chance to die in the end? Could she have a deeper respect for Hiei than he thought? All these questions ceased in his head as the building came into view.
'They should be in there by now.' Hiei sped off towards the opening of the building.
with others
"Your friend won't be around for a little while. So why don't we start now?" The demon's voice echoed in the dark room making it seem that he was everywhere.
"What did you do to him?!" Kuwabara said.
"Oh nothing really, he'll just die within the next half hour if he isn't cured of the poison I gave him."
"Poison?!" Kuwabara exclaimed looking down at Yusuke. (A/N yeah... he's poisoned too... hehehe)
"Yes, my group's specialty is poison. You will need to get that antidote quickly for him to recover." The darkness still engulfed everyone so Kurama and Kuwabara couldn't tell if the demon was in the same spot as before, or if he was in position to breathe down their necks.
"Fine, I'll fight you. Here Kurama, you take Yusuke and try to find the antidote." Kuwa handed Yusuke over to Kurama. At this point Kuwabara would be the best candidate to fight the demon. He could just use his spirit awareness to find him.
"Ok let's go freaky demon dude!" Kuwabara stood ready for an oncoming force.
As Kuwabara began to face off with the demon Kurama searched for an appropriate antidote.
'Hm... let's see... the scent of the poison tells me it moves faster in a warmer body,' (A/N sound familiar?) Kurama stopped to feel Yusuke's forehead, 'He seems cooler than usual... good.' Kurama searched through all that he had for the antidote as Kuwabara was still fighting the invisible man.
"AH!" Kuwa screamed out in pain as he was cut on the arm. It seemed that the other demon had taken control of the fight from the beginning. Kuwabara was getting badly hurt.
"Kurama! Do you have it yet? AH!" Kuwabara was cut again. It seemed that the demon's main weapons were daggers.
"Almost..." Kurama searched through all he had.
"Got it! And there's just enough left for one person!" Kurama popped the top off and slipped the green liquid into Yusuke's mouth. Then, Kuwabara was rammed into the wall right next to Kurama.
"Are you okay Kuwabara?" Kurama asked him.
"Yeah... I'm fine. How's Yusuke?"
"Recovering. I'll take the rest of the fight okay?" Kurama looked at Kuwabara's scratched up face.
"Okay!" At that exact moment Kuwabara fell unconscious.
'Looks like it's up to me.' Kurama stood and looked at Yusuke as he began to stir.
"You may have saved him but it will be awhile till he comes to so don't expect any help from him." The eerie voice floated around the still dark room surrounding Kurama.
"I shouldn't think so. I know he won't be conscious for awhile. I should know... I gave him the antidote." Kurama slightly smiled trying to track the demon's well hid energy.
"You'll go down just as fast as that lump of filth." The demon said before attacking with his daggers again. Kurama saw a spark of light in the corner of his eye and dodged. He was safe for the time being.
Hiei and Karuka
Hiei was searching through the building searching for an efficient energy signal to follow. He had two leads but they disappeared fast and his third did the same. He didn't know the first two were Kuwabara and Yusuke falling unconscious and the third was Kurama cloaking his energy from the other demon in the dark. None the less, Hiei was getting worried that he wouldn't be able to find them in time to save Karuka. He kept up his search trying to link to another energy source to follow that might be theirs.
Kurama
"Dodged it huh? Well that won't happen again." The demo tried to attack again but Kurama successfully dodged because of a glare on the steel of the dagger.
'Crap! Where is that light coming from? No matter, I'll just have to watch where I place my daggers.' The demon stopped a moment to think before he was attacked by Kurama.
"Rose whip!" Kurama's whip hit the demon in the face dead on though not killing him. Because of this sudden attack, the demon let down his guard allowing his energy to be read.
Hiei and Karuka
'There's something! An odd energy coming from in there!' Hiei ran towards a door and shoved it open. What he saw was Kurama and another demon on the ground with the light he let in.
"Hiei?! Where have you two been?!" Kurama was surprised to see them... especially Karuka in Hiei's arms.
"There's no time! Karuka's been injected with a poison by some goons from the forest." Hiei set Karuka down on the floor as Kurama came over using the time he had with the fallen demon.
Kurama smelled her breath.
"This is the same poison that was in Yusuke." Kurama's eyes opened wider.
"Well then give her the antidote." Hiei looked worried. (A/N weird... I know)
"I used the rest of the antidote on Yusuke." Kurama looked at Hiei.
"There's none left." Before either Kurama or Hiei could react the other demon got up.
"He he he. It looks like my helpers were held up a bit. At least they did something right. At least now I can see your attack like you could see mine. We're even."
"How long has she had that in her system?" Kurama asked.
"At least twenty five minutes. Why?" Hiei was getting skittish now.
"That particular poison will take full affect after thirty minutes. I'm sorry but Karuka's going to die." Kurama stepped back towards a smiling opponent turning away from a confused Hiei.
He didn't know what he should feel like. He didn't know her for that long, but he knew so much about her. She almost killed him, but she also saved his life. He didn't know how to handle her soon to be death.
"Shall we continue? Or is the oncoming death of your friend to much?" The demon raised his arms into the air making a questionable shrug with a smile on his face. Kurama had an angry expression on as he got ready to attack.
With Hiei he was thinking of when she would die.
'That particular poison will take full affect after thirty minutes.'
'I was running for at least ten minutes and searching for fifteen. She'll die within five minutes.' Hiei still didn't know how to handle it. He was still surprised that nothing could save her. He accepted the end, and stood to watch Kurama if he needed help.
'She's going to die. And after all of that.' Hiei turned away and watched Kurama's fight.
"Rose whip slash!" (A/N I still don't know his attacks... sorry again)
The demon dodged and attacked with his daggers which Kurama also dodged. It seemed that they were equally matched as long as a light was provided. The fight was, none the less, boring. Hiei kept fighting the urge to look back at her until he gave in glanced back. His eyes widened. Karuka had moved at least three feet from where Hiei put her and Yusuke and Kuwabara were still asleep. She had to of moved herself. Then Karuka's head titled up looking towards Yusuke. Now Hiei could hear her heavy breathing and watched her pull herself closer and closer to Yusuke.
"Kurama!" Hiei yelled out in shock watching her crawl across the floor with most of her needed energy gone.
Kurama looked back after dodging yet another attack. He saw Karuka move across the floor very slowly. He made a stunner attack to stun the demon for a bit so he could watch her. He walked to Hiei who was about to go help her but held him back.
"Let her go." Kurama was watching what she was doing.
"But-"
"Let her go." Kurama said more sternly. Hiei obeyed.
There were two minutes left till the poison would take full affect and neither Kurama nor Hiei knew how to save her still. But Karuka was trying to do something... but what? As she neared Yusuke's unconscious body she reached out and grabbed hold of his chest. She pulled her self as close as she could then... she began.
A black light surrounded her hands and she converted them to shadow and reached towards Yusuke's mouth. Coming out she took one last gasp of breath as a shadow went up her torso and covered her mouth. She had no time left. The thirty minutes were up. Then, she fell unconscious. Kurama and Hiei feared the worst. They thought Karuka was dead, her half hour was up... wasn't it?
cough, cough Karuka gasped for breath before her head tilted to the side. Then, a liquid streamed out of her mouth.
"What?" Kurama ran over to her and checked on the liquid. Blood? Spit?
"It's the antidote!" Kurama's and Hiei's eyes went wide and Hiei ran to Kurama's side.
"What?" Hiei asked.
"The antidote I gave to Yusuke! She must have taken it out of his system and treated herself with it." Kurama looked completely amazed.
"She's alive!"
