Chapter Nineteen: Recovered!
Hiei watched as Kurama gave Akamery the last of the antidote. It's been five days and color started to come to her face. She even started to get her memories back into order.
As he watched, Kurama decided to break the still glacier, "So, what were the Outslaan Helders like?"
"They were a vicious team," Hiei sighed, "Trust me."
"They're not vicious," said a soft spoken voice that hadn't been used for a long time, "they merely don't trust outsiders for all of them are hybrids and all of them are part fire."
Hiei and Kurama looked down at Akamery who was smiling at them calmly, her teal eyes open and everything. It was so nice to finally see everyone besides seeing them dead in her dreams. Kurama smiled, "Welcome back."
"Thanks," Akamery said as she looked up at Hiei, "not going to say anything?"
'I already told you,' Hiei thought to her with a small smile on his face. "Just did."
Akamery sighed with an amused smile on her face, "You're lame."
Hiei growled and Kurama laughed. He stood up and walked out of the room to give them some time. While doing that, he'd better tell everyone else that Aka was alright. Once he got to the main room, he noticed that everyone was there and was looking anxious. They could feel her; he knew that, "She's fine, recovered completely."
Back in Aka's room, she was sitting up and her legs were dangling over the bed. She along with Hiei didn't know what to say. Akamery smiled and closed her eyes. Slowly, she began to laugh.
Hiei was leaning against the wall with his arms folded over his chest and one foot propped up on the wall. He looked at Akamery with confusion at first, and then a smile spread over his face. Slowly, he too began to laugh.
Instantaneously, the two demons hugged each other, but their laughter didn't die, it just grew louder, until it finally reached the main room…
"Sounds like Hiei's having a blast now that Aka's alright." Yusuke said with a small smile.
"Aka's alright?" Jin asked as if he couldn't believe what Yusuke just said.
Slowly, Yusuke began to laugh, then Kurama, Kuwabara, Touya, and everybody else. Soon the room was jumping with celebrating demons and humans.
Back in Akamery's room, the hugging demons heard the commotion and looked in the direction of the main room. Akamery grinned, quickly cupped Hiei's face with her hands, and kissed him, surprising the fire apparition completely.
