Chapter Seventeen: Curing Akamery
Kurama was in his study when he felt the faint trace of Akamery's ki. He knew that the dreams were working faster then they were supposed to. Kurama lightly looked at the vile.
Seven of the flowers that the Outslaan Helder gave to them were in that bottle, mixed with the rose's nectar. The rose was suppose to numb the scent so Akamery wouldn't think she was being poisoned again and the flowers inside were juiced, and were mashed petals right down to nectar.
He got up and placed the vile in his pocket. He swiftly walked out of his study and walked over to the room where Akamery was held in. When he walked in, he noticed that Hiei was on the bed, holding the girl. He smiled faintly. 'Oh Hiei,' he made it to obvious when he tried to hide the fact from everyone else that he didn't like the girl in the way everyone thought.
Lightly he said, "Keep holding her, Hiei."
"You made the antidote that fast I see," Hiei said looking at him.
Kurama smiled, "It's not my first time working with this." Hiei blinked, but Kurama waved it away. He lightly walked over and sat down next to her and took her arm. Right where the crock of her elbow was he lightly numbed it so Akamery wouldn't feel it. Taking the vile he carefully stuck a needle inside it. It wasn't a long needle and it wasn't too much of a dose. If she was drinking it, it would be a baby's spoonful.
Hiei watched as the red liquid ran into her body when Kurama slowly, but carefully injected it. "You have to keep using the antidote until it's gone," Kurama said, "Only once a day," he looked at the clock, "in the evening."
Hiei nodded and then said, "Thanks fox." Kurama smiled at the fire koorime, "I know how you feel about her, Hiei," he said to him lightly, "and I promise you that I feel the same way, in a different way."
"You don't love her like the way I do." Hiei said stiffly, trying to hide the fact that he was happy that he wasn't any competition.
Kurama smiled, "She's a sister to me," he stood up, "and a best friend that I couldn't leave."
Hiei nodded and decided to wait until the morning to see how Akamery was going to be, but just in case the poison decided to act up, he would stay with her.
