A Weird Meeting the King of Death and Caring for an Injured Demon

The next morning (which just happened to be Thursday) passed quickly and before they knew it Andrea and Kurama were sitting at a table with the King of Death. Kurama was wearing the clothes that matched those he wore for the first match of the Dark Tournament. Andrea wore a black halter top, a black mini skirt, and black ankle boots. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail and held there with a black hair tie.

The meal went quickly since all of the food was eaten in a matter of minutes. Kurama stared at Andrea in shock, mouth agape. Not even Kuwabara ate that much. The King of Death acted as if it Andrea`s large appetite among girls was normal. Placing an envelope on the table he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"That was weird," said Andrea as she picked up the envelope since it had her name on it. The piece of paper inside the envelope said:

Your training begins after the party tomorrow. Hiei will be there to take you to Mukuro's palace to train. Go home now.

********************************************************** **************

Hiei was waiting on a tree branch outside of Kurama`s window. He was wearing a sleeveless off-white shirt, his usual black pants and his katana strapped securely around his waist. The oddest thing was, the shirt kept popping up with small red dots.

Andrea and Kurama entered the house and went upstairs to Kurama's bedroom where Kurama immediately opened the window to let Hiei in.

The first thing that Andrea noticed about Hiei was a large and spreading stain on his shirt, the dots merging together to form a long stretch of red on the shirt. His stance, normally steady and ready for action, was somewhat tilted, as he was putting all of weight on his right side as he leaned weakly against Kurama's bedpost. His ruby-red eyes were glassy with pain as he looked almost dazedly around the room.

A piece of paper with strange markings seemed to be wrapped around his neck, the ends tied tightly together. After a split-second of thought, Andrea pulled it free and even as she did so, Hiei sagged with relief. Kurama caught him and placed the smaller demon on the bed so that he could sit on its edge while Andrea took the katana and placed it on the windowsill.

"How did you know to do that?" asked Kurama in shock, eyes glinting with amazement for Andrea and worry for Hiei, now holding onto his stomach with both hands.

"Because of a fanfic I read once," the girl said with a laugh. "That fanfic had a ward in it that was used as a pain amplifier on injuries. The wound may be serious but I doubted that it was the cause of all the pain." Andrea then turned her attention to Hiei and asked, "Would you like me to heal your wound, Hiei?"

Hiei nodded and Andrea sat herself next to him on the bed. She gently raised the bottom hem of his shirt to expose the wound and then pulled it off him. It was smaller then she had expected, but it was also quite deep. It was a miracle that none of his organs had been damaged.

Then since she sat on the side opposite the wound she pulled him closer to her so that he was leaning against her. Then she reached around his back and placed her left hand over the wound on his side. Hiei had known that this would happen, because he had read her mind. He offered no resistance. Kurama watched but the only movement he saw was Andrea closing her eyes.

All it took was a moment and the wound, though deep, was healed. She looked up at Kurama. Kurama didn't notice. He was too busy staring at the now sleeping fire apparition.

"I'll probably need to keep an eye on him till he wakes. I've never healed a demon before. I have no idea whether or not he might have some reaction to the healing. It's never happened before, but I don't like taking unnecessary risks."

Kurama merely nodded at her words. His focus was still on Hiei. A moment later he spoke. "He looks so innocent when he sleeps that it's hard to believe he is what he is."

Andrea looked at Hiei for a moment before replying, seeing for the first time how peaceful he looked in his sleep. "Vegeta was the same way when he slept… I think I'll move him to my room. I wouldn't want to get in your way." She didn't wait for an answer. She just picked Hiei up and went to her room.

Andrea placed Hiei gently on the bed went to grab a washcloth from the bathroom Using some water to dampen it she cleaned up the still sticky blood off of Hiei. Throwing the dirty rag in a small trashcan, she made her way over to her computer.

She had a lot of people to e-mail and talk to since she was no longer at home to keep track of everything. It would be quite a while until she got off, but no matter how busy she was she would make sure to keep an eye on Hiei too.

************************************************************* ***********

Several hours later, Hiei was still asleep, the only change was that he now lay on his stomach and had stuck his hands beneath the pillow. Andrea sat near him on the bed and looked out her bedroom window at the rain that had started to fall. It was dark outside now, near to eight at night, and Andrea was contemplating what reaction Hiei would have if awoke to her sleeping next to him. A semi-loud yawn broke the silence and Andrea covered her mouth to stifle it. A pair of red eyes opened sleepily, blinking several times while Andrea looked on in amusement..

"How long have I been sleeping?" asked Hiei as he looked around the room.

"Several hours. I didn't keep track of the time. You can stay here the rest of the night if you want to. It would certainly beat going out in the rain."

"Hn."

Hiei closed his eyes and was within moments once again asleep. Andrea walked over to her dresser and pulled out a set of purple silk pajama and a pair of underwear before walking to her bathroom. It was a bit early to get ready for bed, but she had a feeling that tomorrow would be a long day and that she would need all the sleep she could get tonight.

She showered quickly and dried herself off before putting on the pajamas. Just as she left the bathroom she paused for a moment and wondered whether or not the prophecy was going to come true. She certainly hoped that it would.

Then before she could think anymore she entered her bedroom and pushed Hiei over on the bed and climbed up next to him. Tucking the blanket around both of them, Andrea fell asleep, wondering what was going to happen tomorrow.
