-1Chapter 8
Mukuro drop us off, it was a 30 mile walk to the village, and God only knows what will happen in between. Hiei was awake and full of energy. Me on the other hand, I was already drained oh well I can do it I have to. So we started to walk, it was early morning and the sun was out. It was very rare to see the sun. So it made me feel safe. Hiei was humming a song to himself.
we continued to walk for a couple hours than we took a break. I found a stream and washed my face to wake myself up. my wounds not fully healed. I sighed looking at the water. I began to hear singing. I became lost in a daze listening to its sweet melody. Hiei blinked "Kurama Nii-san?" he said. I didn't hear him. I started to lean forward into the water. Hiei ran over "Kurama Nii-san! stop don't let the fairies trick you, they will drown you!" he yelled. Hiei blinked" sorry for this Kurama Nii-san" Hiei whispered. Hiei bit into my arm, I sat up"Owch! what was that for? Huh what was just doing?" I asked. Hiei removed his fangs. Kurama whined a bit and rubbed his arm. He stood up" Lets go, that spring is weird.." he said. We walked for another couple hours and Hiei started to get tried. The sun was setting so I decide to make camp. I made a fire. "It will be another 15 miles before we reach the village so rest up okay" I said. Hiei laid next to me, I love being his big brother. I sighed and stared at the fire. I drifted to sleep.
Hiei was the first to wake up. I slept peacefully. It was raining, I felt it that's what woke me up. I sneezed then I was wide awake. I blinked' I didn't sense any rain so why? could it be a weather master? perhaps the forest spirit?" I said. I looked at Hiei, He sat there half awake, he was pal. "Hiei...you okay?" I asked. I touched his forehead, he was burning up!. I took off my jacket and covered him with it. It was nothing but plains, no caves hardly any trees, the village was about 15 miles away. I guess I had to run all they way there.
I picked up Hiei and wrapped him in my jacket so he can stay warmer. He was now asleep. I started to run words our destination. I ran for hours not stopping. I slow down to take breaths but I never stop. Lighting was everywhere. The lighting struck the ground" How am I going to get pass that!" I yelled. I started to run holding Hiei close. I dodge the lighting. I continued to run, I saw the village ahead. I continued to run, I made it to the entrance. I walked in. I looked around, no one was out.
"Excuse me. Are you the 2 that Mukuro told me about?" A old man with a gentle voice asked. I turned and saw a dragon demon, a elderly man with horns and a tail. he was wearing an kimono." Yes " I said. "come this way to my home, you will be warm and safe" he said. I followed the man. We enter his home, it was warm.' Please tell me your names" he asked. "I'm Kurama and this is Hiei, he is very sick, perhaps you can help him, I don't know what's making him sick thus I can't make a potion for him." I said. unwrapping him from my wet jacket. He was mostly dry, good I didn't want to make him sicker. "child, he was has a human cold, the forest spirit makes it rain every 3 weeks, you must of been in the forest and plains, do not worry, I have a potion. by the way my name it Tomo. " he said walking into the kitchen. A few moments later he came back with some tea." Child you can set him down on the bed in the other room when he wakes up I will make him the potion. " Tomo said. I bowed"arigato for letting us stay here " I said. A Young girl walked out"Grampa we have guests?" she asked, she was a water dragon demon, had blue hair and a blue Kimono on. she looked about 17 years old" while hello there, welcome to the water and Ice village, a mix of water and Ice demons, all is welcome here, we are a kind race that doesn't believe in blood. Please stay here long as you like." she said. I bowed" thank you again for letting me and Hiei stay here." I said. "its no problem at all Mukuro told us about you and how your going to fight the Dark soul witch. AH! how rude of me, My name is Umi I'm a Water dragon spirit" she said.
I blinked" its nice to meet you I'm Kurama" I said. Umi blinked" are you the same Kurama who was on the team that won the dark Tourment?" she asked. I blinked and nodded" Wee! this is so funny we are having a champion staying with us!" she continued. "Umi behave yourself, please get Kurama some dry clothes" Tomo said. Umi smiled'alright sorry if I got carry away" she said walking in the other room. Tomo smiled" she is one of a kind that girl, my granddaughter" Tomo said. I blinked" I see she must really like guests" I said. Umi came back with a black and red Kimnono"you can wear this, it was brothers, he is about the same size as you, " she said. I blinked" if its your brothers then I can't. if it means so much to you' I said. Umi smiled" its fine" she said pushing me into a room. I sighed and got changed. I felt better now that I was in some dry clothes.
I walked out" WEE! you look so good!" Umi said. Tomo smiled" yes he does Umi why don't you make dinner. " Tomo said. Umi walked off into the kitchen. I walked over to Hiei I placed my hand on his forehead, he was still hot. I sighed. Tomo handed me a vile with white liquid. "this will cure any sickness" he said. I smiled " thank you." I said. I shook Hiei softly"Hey Hiei wake up" I said. He started to wake up" where are we...?" he ask. I smiled" we are save and you have a nasty cold, Here this will make you better" I said. I handed him the vile. He started to drink it, and he fell back asleep. I smiled" is that suppose to happen?" I asked. Tomo smiled' it makes it easier to cure if he is asleep", he should be better by mourning." Tomo said. Me Tomo and Umi ate dinner soon after I went to bed in the same room as Hiei so I can watch him. I soon fell asleep, I was so drained from today. I was happy that I could sleep.
