Chapter Sixteen: "Tyerva's Downfall"

A few hours after Tyerva, and Hiei arrived at the place where the others were fighting. Tyerva was soon on her ass, panting. Everyone was watching her, confused on how she got so tired so fast. Kurama was the first to her aid, "Tyerva? You okay…?" He asked softly.

She merely sighed, and stood up, brushing the dust off her pants. Saying nothing, yet her eyes showed complete tiredness. Which she wasn't about to show anyone, she merely then got into a fighting pose, ready to resume her fight.

Hiei sighed, going over to her. "Tyerva, you need to relax… and rest. You're pushing it…" He muttered to her.

Tyerva looked up at him, her tail snapping at the air even more now. She panted still, watching him, for the longest time. Soon though, her body seemed to die on her, and she collapsed to the ground, clutching her stomach. Being in great pain, it was just the easiest to hold at the moment.

Kurama and Hiei of course were the first to her side, Hiei picked up Tyerva's small, shaking frame. Now cursing himself for letting Tyerva's condition get this bad. Kurama sighed, "Enough for today, everyone needs to rest." He shouted to everyone, addressing even himself and Hiei.

Tyerva held her stomach, completely unaware of the things happening around herself, as she clutched at her heart now. Panting, her ears lay flat back, and tail between her legs. The headband that she wore around her head began to glow, but suddenly… She froze, not breathing, as if she was holding her own breath. Not shaking… Nothing. Kurama and Hiei knelt next to her, "Tyerva…?" Kurama muttered softly.

Hiei growled softly, as he then tore off her headband, looking to her Tegon eye. It was normal looking, pure black, with of course a red cat like slit in the middle. He then looked over to Kurama, "You remember the antidote, that you gave me right?" Hiei snapped at him.

Kurama looked to him, and nodded. "Yes, but that'll take a few hours… When I found you, I already had some brewed up…"

Hiei nodded, "I'll see what I can do for her now, you begin making some up." He ordered.

Kurama nodded, "Kay." He then got up, and dashed off into the woods, going to get the herbs needed.

Atir stood next to Kyerga for the time being, watching Tyerva. Kyerga meanwhile, was watching the area. Kuwabara was leaning against a tree, knowing there was nothing he could do. So he just watched like Atir.

Tyerva slowly began breathing once again, as Hiei laid his head down to her chest, checking her heartbeat… He swore when he noticed it was slowly stopping. She had over done herself with the training, and in her weakened state.

A few hours later Kurama returned, holding a vile, with pink fluid in it's contents. "Got it." He said, kneeling down next to Tyerva again. He sighed, taking a breath, he opened the vile, and moved it over her Tegon eye… Dropping a few drops within it. Then he slinked his arm under her head, lifting her up slightly, putting the vile to her lips. "Tyerva… Please, if you can hear me… Try to swallow this…" He murmured. He tipped the vile, allowing a few drops to go into her mouth, making sure she was in a good state to drink it all. Somewhat like a miracle she actually swallowed the pink liquid. Kurama smiled, and gave her the rest of the vile. Tyerva of course, swallowed the rest of it, after a moment, her eyes flickered open; they were a dull gray.

Tyerva looked around somewhat, looking to the one holding her, and the one next to her. Then spotted her over joyful sister, and Atir. Both over joy for Tyerva being okay. Tyerva's breathing remained deep, and ragged, yet she was slowly getting better once again. She looked to Kurama, "…T…Thanks…" She mumbled.

Kurama shook his head, while smiling himself. "It's not a problem… just for now, don't speak, and don't move much…" He told her, brushing his hand down her face.

Tyerva looked to him, trying her best not to blush at his movement. Yet she couldn't help much of it… so a light reddish-pink bloomed across her face. She nodded, looking away, trying to hide her blush, closing her eyes.

Kurama blinked, and then smiled watching her. Hiei though, somewhat glared at Kurama, yet didn't let him see it… Hiei sighed, and sat down more relaxed like. Yet he glanced to Kyerga, who was once again looking around. "Something up?"

Kyerga started, and looked to him, she smiled somewhat, and shook her head. "N-No, nothing at all…" She muttered, yet she then began looking around again.

Hiei watched her, knowing she was lying, yet… he decided not to pay much attention to it for the time being. He sighed, looking around. It was getting darker by the minute. Kuwabara had already fallen asleep, leaning against the same tree. Yet now sitting. Atir was curled up by a bush, trying to fall into a light sleep. Kyerga was now sitting down, her eyes closed, yet not at all asleep. Kurama looked to Hiei, and then picked up Tyerva softly, handing her to him. "Watch Tyerva… I'm going to scout the place out." He muttered so, only Hiei could hear him.

Hiei took Tyerva softly in his arms, looking up at Kurama; he nodded. Watching Kurama take off into the darkness, Hiei then turned his attention to Tyerva, he smiled, noticing she had fallen asleep. Knowing she needed the rest, yet he stayed awake, watching the area, in case someone was close by…

Is there a stranger nearby the tired hero's? Or was Kyerga imagining things…? Will Tyerva ever get feeling better…? All will be reviled in the next YuYu Hakusho!
