Chapter 3: Yukina's Help

Yukina was being entertained by Kuwabara's funny faces when Hiei barged in, yelling her name. She hastened to the little fire demon she had always felt a bond with, not knowing why, and cried out in distress at the wild look on his face and the blood on his hands. Hiei looked startled, and, first glancing at them and then wiping his hands, he said, “it's not my blood” very quietly. “Then who…” Yukina started but was interrupted by Hiei's hastened explanation.

“Kurama's hurt. Bad. I don't know what to do. I can't help him. Help me!” “Calm down,” she said, then “take me to him. I'll help him if I can. Stay here, Kuwabara.” Oddly, Kuwabara just nodded stiffly at this curt dismissal. Yukina and Hiei zoomed off into the night.

They arrived at the tree a few minutes later to find Kurama and Yusuke on the ground. “Yusuke?!” Hiei said, staring. The skinny human opened his eyes, stretched and said “what took you guys so long?” Hiei muttered under his breath while Yukina moved to sit in front of Kurama's unblinking stare. She touched the wound over his heart and tried to channel healing ki into the wound, but instead cried out as she was flung back. Hiei quickly caught her and set her on the ground saying, “I tried that. I don't understand how a barrier that strong could be…”

Hiei and Yusuke looked at each other and groaned. “Kuwabara!” they said in unison. Yukina asked, confused, “what are you boys talking about?” Kuwabara can break any barrier with his spirit sword, even dimensional ones, remember?” “Oh, yeah…” Hiei rushed off toward Yukina's house while Yukina and Yusuke sat staring at Kurama's body. In a very short time, Hiei dropped from a tree carrying a dazed Kuwabara.

“He started following us as soon as we left, and for once, I'm glad” Hiei stated. “Now destroy the barrier before it's too late!” Kuwabara stared stupidly at Kurama's body with a searching look on his face. “Spirit sword!” Kuwabara yelled as he sliced the now-visible barrier down the middle, destroying it and narrowly missing Kurama's head. Yukina smiled at her beloved and knelt beside Kurama again. She put her hands near him and closed her eyes. She sighed. “I can't heal him,” she said.

“What do you mean?!” Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara yelled in unison. Yukina sighed, rolled her eyes, and explained. “I don't have enough life energy to give him. I could give him all of mine, die, and he still would not recover.” Yusuke piped up, “I'll do it! I've got energy to spare!” and he made his ki flare up to demonstrate. But Yukina shook her head. “He needs another demon's life force. A human's would help in a normal situation, but when he's this drained…”

“I'll do it,” Hiei stated. “When I felt his ki weakening, I didn't do anything. If I hadn't watied…” Yukina shook her head and then stopped herself. It could work, but, “you will need to give him half of your life force. You will both be weak for days, even weeks. If you're sure…” “I said I'll do it,” Hiei sighed. “Then it's settled. Yusuke, Kuwabara, keep an eye out. If whatever did this comes back, there could be trouble.”

“Right!” they nodded to each other and moved off to opposite sides of the clearing, using their eyes and their spiritual awarenesses to try to detect anything odd. Hiei came next to Yukina and she pulled him down beside her. She took his hand, placed it over Kurama's heart, and channeled Hiei's life force into Kurama. Hiei and Kurama gasped. Kurama blinked and looked at Hiei. “What…” and then he screamed as the pain hit his, now Yukina realized, drug-fogged brain.
