Chapter 22

Claps were softly heard coming from the porch and a small whistle along with some sniffling. This caused Nissa to jump a bit as she opened her eyes wide as she looked seeing Kurama; With Gremlin sitting up on his shoulders, Yuuske, Keiko, Kuwabara, Yukina and Botan watching her. Nissa suddenly became very uncomfortable as she moved to stand up being able to do so without much trouble as she turned to them just to be hugged tightly and picked up off the ground in the hug that Botan suddenly gave her. "That was so beautiful!" Botan sniffled out as Nissa started to cough from the pressure her lungs were receiving, "Yo! Botan! Let her breathe!" Yuuske yelled out causing Botan to quickly set down Nissa and blushed, scratching the back of her head a bit with a nervous smile on her face, "Sorry 'bout that!" She apologized quickly. Nissa breathed in and nodded a bit as she felt more nervous as she looked at Yukina who smiled at her, "You have a lovely singing voice." She complimented. "Yeah! Where did you learn that song?" Kuwabara suddenly asked. Nissa froze a bit realizing she had been singing as she her cheeks turned a dark purple and Gremlin glew just slightly from it. She started to back up, "Nissa what's wrong?" Keiko asked causing Nissa to back up more as Botan stepped towards her. "I think she's nervous… Keiko." Kurama started saying but Nissa was staring at them wide eyed as if she was terrified for some reason. She turned and wobbly ran into the forest. "Nissa!" They all called out as she ran into the woods. "She won't be alright in there this time!" Yuuske yelled out as Kurama nodded. "Girls stay here!" They yelled as they went in after her.

Nissa was far from fast but she was still pretty fast even being so weak as she ran into the forest and kept running knowing the others were going to reach her but she suddenly had a panic attack and felt the need to escape as her heart was pounding hard and fast. She felt like she couldn't breathe as she dropped to her knees and held her chest right under her throat; her eyes were still large as she breathed hard trying to catch her breath. She whimpered softly as she scratched at her skin causing purple streaks on her skin from it. "Onna… what are you doing?" She suddenly heard Hiei ask from above her causing her to look up into the tree above her just to see Hiei's crimson eyes looking down at her now roughly, but seeing how she was he sighed out and his eyes had a twinkle of worry in them as he jumped down from the tree, again shirtless. He knelt down in front of her and held his hand out just causing her to turn away from him not wanting to be touched. Hiei blinked not sure how to deal with what was happening and lucky for him Kurama, Yuuske and Kuwabara skidded to a stop seeing them Yuuske started walking up to them, "What's wrong Nissa?" He asked as she began breathing harder feeling like she was going to pass out. "She had this issue when we were kids too… every time she was caught playing the violin and singing…" Yuuske remembered and told them, turning to look at Kurama. "Back up Yuuske… Hiei…" He stated as he walked forward and knelt down in front of her and looked to the others as Yuuske did as he was told moving back by Kuwabara who was again confused on what was happening, "Is she going to be okay?" Kuwabara asked worried about her. Kurama nodded, "She's having a panic attack it seems." He stated as he looked at Hiei who hadn't moved then to Nissa.

"Nissa look at me." Kurama said in a stern tone causing her to look up into his eyes as she was clawing at her throat again. Hiei reached for her hand but she pulled away from him quickly not wanting to be touched. She looked at Hiei with tears building up in her eyes, "Nissa." Kurama said again to get her attention which he successfully did as she looked towards him with her watery eyes. "Breathe… Relax and calm down…" Kurama instructed as he smiled at her in a calming manor. She nodded sharply as she was shaking still feeling like she couldn't breathe at all, "Breathe…" Kurama repeated as she attempted to breathe slowly and as she did so Kurama slowly every so often would repeat 'Breathe' to her to help coach her into calming down. She felt more, light headed then she did before as she was breathing again but shakily as she had finally stopped scratching at her skin. Hiei looked worried as he stared at her, Yuuske noticed but too no attention to it as he stepped forward, "She alright?" He asked and Kuwabara also piped up, "Yeah!" He wanted to know also. Nissa nodded slowly and glanced over at Hiei's crimson eyes with her golden ones before she looked down and closed her eyes most the way. "Seems like it…" Kurama said as he looked at Yuuske and Kuwabara.

Nissa's tail curled and wrapped around her left thigh as she coughed a bit as she put her hand on her forehead and rubbed it softly feeling a headache from not breathing before. She jumped slightly as she felt someone touching her shoulder causing her to open her eyes and slowly looked up at Yuuske who was kneeling down slightly behind her with a smile on his face. She eyed him before hauling back and punching him hard enough to knock him on his ass everyone looked at her with wide eyes at first but Hiei smirked and closed his eyes as Kurama smiled a bit. Nissa shook her hand as it hurt her to punching him, Yuuske was rubbing his jaw with a goofy grin on his face and laughed a bit, "Yeah she's fine." Nissa was glaring at him slightly as she closed her eyes. "Idiot. Stay out of my space." She mumbled as she shook her head, "For being weak you still hit hard." Yuuske said as he laughed a bit his comment making Nissa smile, "That's because you're a pussy." This made Kurama snort as he bit this thumb trying not to laugh. "Yeah Uremshi you're a weakling." Kuwabara piped up causing Nissa to grin a bit, "But compared to the ogre behind you you're a god." She stated causing a snicker to come from the others, "Yeah- Hey wait a minute! Are you calling me weak?" Kuwabara asked in a loud tone almost yelling at her. Nissa opened her eyes and looked at him, "Oh maybe you're not as stupid as I pegged you to be you caught on quicker then expected." She said in a completely shocked tone. Kurama was now chuckling while Yuuske busted out laughing as Hiei had a smirk on his face that grew seeing Kuwabara getting mad.

Kuwabara glared at her and made a fist and held it up, "If you weren't a girl I'd kick you ass right now!" He yelled at her causing Nissa to start laughing, as she seemed to be better now as she looked up at him as she grinned, "I'm so terrified!" She exclaimed as she was still laughing a bit as it died down into giggling. Her tail unwrapped from her thigh and started swaying happily in the air behind her. Kuwabara crossed his arms over his chest and mumbled to himself, "Stupid Shor-" He started before he was cut off, "Are you really not wanting children?" Was heard from Nissa as she had a dangerous tone to her voice. Kuwabara went pale and shook his head hoping she wouldn't kick him as he covered his crotch with both his hands. Yuuske chuckled a bit, "Trained him quick." He stated and Kuwabara glared at Yuuske now, "Shut it Uremshi!" He yelled out, as he seemed nervous though.

Nissa looked up at the sky as she groaned just slightly causing the others to look at her again, "You alright, Nissa?" Kurama asked as he leaned forward to see her face now seeing that she was a bit pale. She smiled up at him and nodded slowly though she knew something inside her wasn't right. "Come on let's get you back to the temple." Yuuske stated as he stood up and looked down at her, "I agree with Yuuske." Kurama agreed and held out his hand to help Nissa up causing Hiei to glare at him. Nissa looked at Kurama's hand, "I'm fine." She stated. Yuuske crossed his arms, "Really? You want me to carry you like in the kitchen or are you going to accept the help?" He asked. Hearing this Nissa snarled and glared back at Yuuske, "Fuck you Yuuscape." She growled out her tail flickering behind her. He grinned, "No can do that would be incest and I'm sure Keiko wouldn't like that." Yuuske stated with a cocky grin on his face. "Sick bastard." She mumbled and Yuuske laughed, "You offered." He stated in defense causing her to roll her eyes. She sighed out as she grabbed Kurama's hand as he helped pull her up as Hiei stood up beside them seeming a little grumpier then normal and it didn't help at all when Nissa got up and landed on Kurama's chest, a small growl was heard but no one other then Kurama had heard and noticed it. He smiled at Hiei though and helped Nissa stand up straight again. She was gripping his hands tightly as she steadied herself, growling at herself for being weak.

After she was helped up they began walking back to the temple though Nissa had to stop here and there her body being exhausted for some reason. She seemed to get more and more irritated with herself and it showed as Kurama and Hiei watched her glare at herself and the ground as she went. Yuuske was in front of them with Kuwabara who were talking and joking around but stopped when they didn't hear Nissa, Kurama and Hiei walking again. "She alright?" Yuuske asked as he noticed Nissa breathing hard again and glaring at the ground, Kurama had his hand on her shoulder and Hiei was glaring at Kurama. "What's wrong?" Kuwabara asked as he turned around and looked towards Hiei seeing the glare he was giving Kurama and went to asked what his issue was but stopped as Hiei pushed Kurama away and scooped Nissa up bridal style. Nissa meeped as she glared up at Hiei but her cheeks turned a faint dark purple seeing it was Hiei. "This is pathetic I'm taking he back to the temple, this is taking too long." Hiei stated in a bitter tone as he disappeared with Nissa as he was ran towards the temple, "What was that all about?" Kuwabara asked as he looked at Kurama who just shook his head, "Don't worry about it Kuwabara let's all go back to the temple." He replied and began walking past the others who followed shortly after making their way back to the temple.

Nissa looked up at Hiei as he ran and stopped in front of the temple out back as she bit her bottom lip. "Please avoid the others…" She whispered causing him to look down at her and rolled his eyes as he still seemed pissed off about something. He looked back up as he stepped back and walked to the tree that was outside her window and his as he jumped up into the branches and into her room from the branch he had been on. He walked over to her bed and dropped her roughly on it as he turned around and went back to the window. Nissa groaned when she was dropped as she glared at him nasty now, "What the hell is your problem!" Nissa yelled at him confused on how he was treating her now. "You!" He snapped back loudly at her making her eyes go wide as he disappeared out her window, seeing this her eyes tearing up as she stood up and fell over before getting up with a growl and slamming her window shut and locking it now. She couldn't help the feelings she was having as she began crying as she slid to the floor sobbing quietly the only real noise that was heard was the soft tinking of black tear gems hitting the wooden floor underneath her. Nissa pushed her back against the wall behind her as she brought her knees up to her chest as she wrapped her arms around her legs, burying her face into her knees as she cried into them her tail wrapping up between her legs now.

Gremlin was in the kitchen with Yukina as it enjoyed being around her as it was helping her wash the dishes the little bit it could help. Gremlin smiled over at Yukina who smiled back, "Thanks for the help." She said as she was drying her hands. Gremlin's eyes glew a bit causing Gremlin to stop now and look towards the hallway with lack of expression now feeling that Nissa was upset. 'Master is upset…' Gremlin spoke into Yukina's mind causing her to blink not expecting to her the little creature speak in her head but she smiled sadly. "Nissa?" She asked causing Gremlin to nod before flapping its little wings heading towards to room, landing on the doorknob looking to see if Yukina was following. Yukina came around the corner seemingly worried a bit about what was happening. She walked to the door and Gremlin jumped up on her shoulder as she knocked softly on the door. "GO AWAY!" was heard from Nissa as her voice squeaked out. The reaction took back Yukina a bit as she stepped back a stepped before frowning a bit, "Nissa it's Yukina… Can I come in…?" She asked softly as she put her ear to the door slightly a bit worried when she didn't hear Nissa respond. "Nissa?" She called out in a soft comforting manor. A click was heard from the door hearing it Yukina frowned again and turned the handle seeing that it was now locked. "Nissa…!" She was upset that she had locked her door and wasn't saying anything.

Yukina looked at Gremlin who also looked at her and went to jump down, "I'm fine please leave me alone." Nissa spoke as it sounded like she was right on the other side of the door. Her voice was shaky and cracked a bit, "Are you sure?" Yukina asked, "Yeah…" A faint whisper was heard as Gremlin stopped now and looked to Yukina who looked down at it. "If you need to talk or anything I'm here…" Yukina pushed a bit. "Thanks…" Was heard softly on the other side but it was barely made out from it being so quiet. Yukina frowned a bit, "Come on Gremlin… let's leave her be." Yukina whispered softly to the creature that frowned a bit too and moved back to the air and landed on Yukina's shoulder as they walked off to do the remaining dishes.
