Time for more Hiei OOCness Chapter 3: Blood test and whatnot
"Shorty's afraid of needles!" Kuwabara laughed,"And he thinks I'M a pussy"
"Leave Hiei alone!" Botan yelled, "Besides, you ARE a pussy"
"This is just great!" Koenma yelled, "Why does he have to start freaking out at a time like this"
"Koenma, don't yell at him. It's not his fault, something must have happened to him to cause this, we just need to figure out what it is." Botan stated. They all stared down at the fire demon who had fallen asleep in Botan's arms.
"What do you think could have happened?" Yusuke asked.
"I don't know," Kurama said, "We'll ask him once he wakes up." A few minutes later Hiei opened his eyes to the faces of his worried teammates stareing back down at him.
"Hiei," Botan said gently, "We understand that you're afraid of needles. But we need to take a blood sample from you. Would it make you feel better if you watched one of us do it first?" Hiei just nodded at her and stared blankly at the wall, obviously embarrassed at the fuss he had created.
"I'll take mine first then." Botan said. Koenma grabbed the needle and went over to Botan who was sitting straight with her arm resting on the table beside her. Hiei watched apprehensivly as Koenma stuck the needle in Botans vein and drew blood from it. When he took the needle from her arm, she got up and smiled at Hiei"
"See? It's no big deal." Hiei just nodded at her as he walked over to the chair and sat down in it. He put his arm on the table and allowed Botan to hold is other hand to keep him calm. As he stared at the needle that Koenma brought to use on him, he tried to put up his best brave front, but it didn't fool Botan. She saw the look of fear in his eyes.
"Don't pay attention to the needle." She said, "Just breath deeply and maintain eye contact with me the whole time." Hiei closed his eyes for a moment. Then he breathed deeply while nodding to acknowledge what she said. He then stared deep into her magenta eyes. Botan stared back and only saw one emotion in them. Fear, pure fear. The fear intensified as Hiei felt the needle enter his arm. But then it exited, only to enter and exit again. This repeated a few more times before Botan looked at Koenma and said, "Koenma! What are you doing? Hurry up"
"I'm trying" he retorted, "I can't find his vein. Ah, there it is." He put the needle in Hiei's vein and started drawing blood.
"Just relax, and breath deeply." Botan reminded Hiei. Hiei nodded but his breaths became short and eratic.
"Koenma, please try to hurry. He's starting to hyperventilate"
"I'm going as fast as I can, this test requires a lot of blood." As he said this, Hiei began to let out soft wimpers and Botan squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"It's alright Hiei, we're almost done." She said to him. Koenma took the needle out of Hiei's arm and said, "That's all the blood we need." Hiei took a deep breath annd got up, but he soon felt dizzy. Botan, knowing what was about to happen, quickly got up to catch the fire demon as he momentarily passed out.
