CHAPTER 7: Lifesaver

Last time...

Kiari introduced the two and the Sister looked at Hiei.

"What god do you believe in?"

"I don't have one."

Hiei said coldly while watching for any signs of soldiers.

"We have to get moving."

Kiari was leading the way, next Hiei, then Yuna, the Sister, and finally Trinity. Although Hiei was putting on a tough front he was actually in a lot of pain and was getting tired. The gash on his shoulder was still oozing blood and his reflexes were slowed.

Upon approaching a corner a man jumped out, Kiari moved just in time for the blade to miss her but go right across Hiei's chest just above his breast. He stepped back in pain, but lifted his sword and charged.

The man followed the same routine as both blades plunged into their intended targets. The man let go his sword and grabbed Hiei's shoulders pulling him closer and the sword further into his body. Blood dripped out from Hiei's mouth and gushed from the worse wounds.

A few seconds pass and Hiei's body goes limp and with the last of his energy the man laughs.

"I've won! I killed him first."

With that the man too went limp and fell backwards allowing Hiei to fall onto his side. Kiari ran over to Hiei's side andexamined him. Blood gets all over her as she reaches for the sword to pull out. She is stopped by very soft whispers from the dying boy.

"Leave it…please..."

"He is dying…" Yuna whispers very softly, careful not to disrupt the peace.

Kiari starts to cry softly as she whispers his name over and over again. A few minutes pass and the sound of a large group of people can be heard. The girls make no effort to move. The soldiers approach and their leader stops them.

"What is this? Some women who need our help, oui?"

The leader was short and had a heavy French accent.

"Yes, please can you help him?"

Kiari pleaded with the leader and finally he gave in. One of his men pulled the sword out and carried Hiei into the nearest room. After laying him on the bed they proceeded to inspect his wounds.

"O, these are bad. It'll take some time to get over these unless we help him along."

The medical aid took out a syringe and stuck it into Hiei's vein near the elbow.

"This will help his wounds heal faster and allow him to produce more energy."

He finished and closed his bag. He stood up and lightly placed the cover over Hiei.

"Will he be alright then?"

"Yea, he just needs some rest. Ill tell you the truth though; he is lucky to be alive."

The doctor went back to his place and the soldiers stayed for the night. The next morning the doctor checked up on Hiei and found that he was still asleep, he turned to face the girls.

"He's alright for now but I don't think he will be able to protect himself and defiantly not four women against an enemy. Would you like to join us?"

The four women talked amongst themselves and tried to decide whether go or stay to within their own group.

"I think we will be able to manage, but thank you."

"Well, we better be going then. Good luck to you and your boyfriend over there."

The soldiers got up and walked out the door, shutting it behind them. After an hour or so Hiei groaned and started to stir. He opened his eyes and looked at the girls; he was in some major pain. Trinity stepped towards Hiei and smiled.

"Hi, glad that you could finally join us."

"Are you feeling ok?"

Kiari noticed he was awake and she too was worried over his condition. Hiei winced as he tried to move and gave up.

"I feel like shit."

"Good you should. That's what you get for not believing in a lord."

The Sister turned her back to Hiei in an attempt to insult him, but it didn't work. He just ignored her and again tried to sit up, this time he was successful.

"What happened?"

"You were almost dead but these French soldiers came and helped you."

"We need to get moving more soldiers could come any minute now. Where's my sword?"

Kiari looked at him in disbelief. He had been an inch close to death yesterday and now he just wakes up and wants to leave.

"No your hurt I don't want you to hurt yourself even more."

"What you want to stay here, get attacked and be killed is that it? Well I'm not going to, I plan on leaving and if you want to come then come."

With that Hiei got to his feet grabbed the sword and started to walk out of the room, the girls followed. Kiari took the lead and walked slowly so that Hiei would have to walk slower in order to let her show him the way. She was worried about him over exerting himself and ultimately hurting even more. Trinity and Yuna were also worried and watched him closely from behind to make sure if he started to fall that they would catch him.

Hiei was having trouble, his body ached and his head was throbbing. His legs soon gave out and he fell to his knees.

"Kiari he fell!"

Trinity, Yuna, and Kiari all ran to Hiei. They looked at him with sympathetic looks all except for the Sister. Hiei dropped the sword and wrapped his arms around his wounds.

"I knew we should have stayed longer you're way too weak to be moving around. I say we go back."
