Every Heart

Poison Ivy

Uncomfortability set in the longer I kneeled between the two boys. They had yet to untie me but had let the kit go. The deal being they release Chiyo if she promised not to bite Yusuke. Watching Kurama sip his tea I anxiously toyed with my fingers as I waited for him to say something. Anything, really! Yusuke on the other hand stared out the window his eyes following a bird lazily.

My mind wandered between the two and for only a moment did I allow the thoughts drift back to Kohana. Nobody there wanted me back. Mom, Ino, even Naruto had gotten over my disappearance with Hinata. Or had he though the mirror wasn't an illusion maybe the images were! There was still a chance that everyone at home were missing me. Only one way to find out. Get along with there people till I could find a way out

"Sakura" Kurama's voice broke me out of my thoughts. "Would you prefer tea or maybe coffee is more in your taste?"

Blinking I looked up into his eyes and saw he was earnestly trying to break the ice "Tea would be fine Kurama" I smiled.

His face broke into a hansom smirk "Call me Shuichi"

"Okay... Kurama"

The boy sigh once more.

As he poured the tea into another small cup I glanced at Chiyo climbing onto the wooden table. She sniffed the drink suspiciously. Then suddenly began to yip and bark angrily at the cup.

Shuichi froze a while pouring the tea before he collapsed onto ground.

For some odd reason worry coated my voice as I crouched down next to him "Shuichi? Oh, boy! Yusuke,! "

The black haired boy snapped out his thoughts and was beside the red head in a second. "What the hell happened?" He looked to me suspiciously

"Don't look at me like that!" I snapped "I don't know. He just passed out."

Yusuke stood to his full height, which was a good four centimeter ahead of me, and glared "I wouldn't put it past ya to poison us"

His accusation only set me ablaze. Gritting my words through clenched teeth I growled "Of all the insolent-."

I was interrupted by my kit snarling and snapping towards the doorway. It drew both our gazes in same direction.

"Who are you?" the brown eyed boy shouted.

"Tsuta Urushi" she said calmly

This Tsuta Usushi girl was leaning in the door smiling a sickening sweet smile. She observed us from beneath her lashes before speaking tauntingly.

"So this is how your Kurama of Team Yurameshi goes. Killed by a plant's poison. Oh, the irony!" She chuckled familiarly "You will regret killing my brother fox. I have made sure of it"

"Kurama doesn't know your brother!" growled Yusuke

The green haired girl snorted "Ha! Don't play games with me! I know the demon he killed the other day was him!" Her sights turned from Yusuke to me her voice coy. "Sooo... Hm, your a pretty little thing. How about you abandon Urameshi's team and come to my side, ne? I would love to have such a beautiful miko on my side"

Is it just me or was this girl flirting? "Sorry but psychotic plant users aren't my type"

The girl folded her arms across her chest with a "Hmph". Then she smiled wickedly making me wince as mouth full of splintered teeth flashed my way. "Looks like I'll have to get rid of your teammates first"

Uncrossing her arms she seemed to focus her chakras before calling out "Venus Fly Trap"

The ground shook suddenly disrupting my balance. Yusuke clutched Kurama's body closer to his as plants with sharks teeth burst out of the ground and surrounded them. With all of the movement my weapons came out of their pouch and scattered onto the ground.

Right then an idea hit me.

Giving a high pitch whistle that I was sure nobody but Chiyo would hear I watched my kit bound up to me. She grabbed one of kunais in her tiny mouth as I whispered "My hands"

Dropping the kunai into my palms I began to saw the ropes until my hand were loose. Handing it back to her I said "Yusuke"

The russet kit, turning in the direction of the Fly Trap took, off dodging vines and everything else in her way. Did I ever mention Chiyo was a trained ninkit and not just some pet?

Finally she managed to squeeze through the plants. Just as I snatched up a kunai in my hands I heard him shout "What the hell am I supposed to do with this?"

I shook my head. He'd figure it out.

My attentions shifted to the girl. Aiming one after another shuriken at the girl I attempted to get a hit. But she dodged every one getting closer till she was right before me caressing my cheek. "So beautiful and you will be mine"

I felt my brow twitch at the closeness of our faces. Without Tsuta Urushi noticing I filled my fist with chakra punching straight. "Get away from me!" Just as it made contact she went flying through the window leaving the glass to drip with an eerie green ooze.

"Urah!" Yusuke grunted and a huge blast of blue light made the plants wither and die. When they wilted to the ground Yusuke was standing in t he middle breathing heavy.

That's when Tsuta Urushi's voice floated in "My beautiful Cherry Blossom miko I will be back. Have fun finding a cure Urameshi."

Growling again Yusuke looked back down at the red head who was now sweating perfusely. "Dame girl" he muttered. But I was barely listening.

Too busy running over the symptoms in my head as I approached the three. It hit me! The type of poison: Ebony Dream! Turning quickly to the black haired boy I ordered him to get me a wet towel and a bowl.

He looked at me questioningly and I shouted that poison was a rush against time. Though he still didn't understand he took off for the requested items. A moment later he returned with them and I set to work immediately.

Activating the healing chakras in my hands I went about focusing on removing the plant's toxins. Chiyo whimpered covering her eyes.

After eons of isolating the poison I finally removed it all from Kurama's blood stream. The chakra bubble dipped into his body scooping up the last bit of toxins. I then placed them in the bowl.

Tiredly I wiped my forehead sighing. "He should be fine now"

Standing to go outside I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Yusuke.

"I don't know what you just did but thanks" he said softly.

I nodded. "You guys owe me one hell of an explanation he wakes up"

Whistling for Chiyo I took to the back door.

Yusuke looked worriedly my way

"Don't worry, I won't run off" I said over my shoulder heading to find a certain someone.
