Chapter Thirty-Two
At Death's Door
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Hiei and Gwenevere's eyes had locked since the time they had opened. Gwen then looked down at her hand. It was covered in blood.
'Why, Hiei? Why...?' Gwen thought as her gaze landed on Hiei again.
Hiei just stood there, holding the katana and not believing this at all. He was trying to accept that this was a dream...but it couldn't be denied. Gwen felt the tip of the sword behind her, and she was straining to breathe.
In one fluid motion, Hiei pulled the katana out of Gwen, and Gwen gasped in pain. They stood there for a moment when Gwen reached her hand to his face.
"Hiei..." Gwen whispered as she collapsed, leaning on him. Hiei dropped the bloody katana and held her.
Kneeling to the ground, he looked at her wound, then at her pale face. The katana had hit some of her vital organs, and her breathing became labored. Gwen closed her eyes, giving in to the pain, but Hiei wouldn't let her.
"Onna!" Hiei shouted, shaking her a bit, making her look at him.
"H...Hiei..." she whispered again, blood trickling from her mouth. Cold sweat poured down her face as she struggled to stay alive. However, she knew she wouldn't last long.
Gwen placed her cold hand against Hiei's cheek and he looked down at her in shock.
"This is...what I...wanted..." she said softly. "To die...in your arms..."
"Hanyou, you're not leaving me again," Hiei said.
"I'm not...afraid of death anymore..."
"Hanyou!"
"I...I love you...Hiei..." With that, Gwen closed her eyes, releasing her last breath.
"Hanyou! Wake up, baka onna!" Hiei shouted as he shook her. Her body, pale and cold, lay limp in his arms. Blood was still pouring out from her wound, covering the ground and him.
He tried to pry into her mind to see if she was just faking, but her mind was blank and dark. Hiei closed his eyes, taking a deep, steadying breath. Forcing his eyes open, he saw a single black tear gem nestled into the folds of her shirt. He was quite surprised to see that he had cried, even one tear.
He checked her heartbeat and looked at her in shock. She was barely alive. Her heartbeat was very faint, but still there. He stood up, Gwen in his arms, and sped off.
He ran to Yukina, sensing her ki not too far away. He burst through the door, waking the Koorime from her slumber.
"Hiei?" Yukina asked as she got out of bed. Then she saw Gwen in his arms. "What happened to Gwenevere?"
Hiei didn't want to tell his sister what had happened, that he had almost killed Gwen. Even if it had been an accident. He stayed silent, but Yukina didn't care. They both wanted to save Gwen.
"Place her on her bed," Yukina instructed. Hiei did as was told, while Yukina grabbed the necessary tools and herbs to heal Gwen. When she entered Gwen's room, she sat by the bed. "You should inform Kurama. I need his help," she said, looking at Gwen's injury. Hiei took off, leaving Yukina alone with Gwen.
Hiei entered Kurama's room as he had Yukina's, waking the sleeping kitsune.
"Kitsune, wake up," Hiei ordered.
Kurama rubbed his eyes, looking at Hiei. "What's wrong, Hiei?"
"The hanyou's dying."
Kurama bolted out of bed and ran to Gwen's room, worried about his "sister." (Remember, Kurama and Gwen love each other as siblings.) He looked at the bed and saw Yukina shaking at the sight of one of her closest friends dying. Yukina cried a bit, perfect white pearls falling onto the bloodied bed.
Kurama inspected the wound, shaking his head. "Her vital organs are punctured. Yukina and I have to stay up all night, trying to fix this."
Hiei nodded, sitting on the windowsill and closing his eyes. Soon enough, he had fallen asleep.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Hiei snapped his eyes open, looking around. He was in the hanyou's room, and Gwen was lying on the bed, completely still, bandages wrapped around her abdomen. He growled, realizing that last night hadn't been a dream. Walking toward Gwen, he sat beside her on the bed. He hesitantly took her cold hand in his, blaming himself for everything...
"What happened to Gwen!?"
"Yusuke, she needs her rest. She's been through a rough night."
Yusuke barged in, a tired-looking Kurama padding after him. Kuwabara and the girls followed in behind them. Keiko and Botan gasped, covering their mouths. Kuwabara appeared to be in shock.
"How could this have happened!?" Yusuke shouted angrily.
Shizuru knelt beside the bed, laying her hand over Gwen's chest. "I don't know...but at least her ki's getting stronger. Slowly, but surely."
"Thanks to Kurama," Yukina added. "He used a rare herb that heals organs slowly."
"It wasn't just me," Kurama pointed out. "Yukina helped, too."
Suddenly, Gwen's hand gripped Hiei's as hard as it could. Everyone looked at her in surprise.
"The herb has a nasty side effect," Kurama explained, rushing to her side. "The herb creates pain, healing the organs. Let Yukina and me take care of this."
The gang, all except for Yukina and Kurama, left the room, waiting impatiently for Gwen's recovery.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Three days. For three long, unbearable days, Hiei sat by the still unconscious Gwen.
'Love...the weakest ningen emotion... Why do I have to have it? I don't want it. I don't need it... I don't need her. But, she needs me,' Hiei thought, shaking his head. She was lying there, right beside him, and yet he couldn't help feeling that she was slowly slipping away from him.
She was there when he was awake, when he was asleep. She was everywhere with him. He couldn't escape her. 'That is probably what love does,' Hiei thought.
Mukuro came in. "Hiei!" she snapped. "You have work to do." Then she walked away.
Hiei rolled his eyes, standing up. He looked down at Gwen, then vanished.
That night, the girls decided to stay with Gwen, in case she woke up. The night was a long one, and finally, only Shizuru was awake, and even she was yawning a bit. That was when Gwen opened her eyes. Shizuru looked toward Gwen and smiled.
"You scared us, Gwen," she said as Gwen tried to focus her eyes.
"How long was I asleep?" she asked in a whisper. She held her throat, thinking something was wrong.
"Four days," Shizuru answered. "Not bad for someone who almost died."
Gwen looked at the foot of the bed, seeing Carnation sleeping along with her three other friends. She swung her feet over, seeing if she could walk. Placing her feet on the floor, Gwen found out she could, but only just barely. Her stomach did hurt a bit, but not as much as it had the first night. She leaned her hand against the wall, walking a bit better with the wall's support.
"Where's Hiei?" Gwen asked, looking around. As feeling returned to her body, she felt something cool in her hand, and looked down. There, in her palm, was the lone black tear gem. 'What's this? It looks like a tear gem, but the Koorime cry white gems...' Gwen then thought of Hiei. 'Is this Hiei's!? Did he cry...for me?' She started walking to the door.
Shizuru stood up to leave, but Gwen waited for an answer. The older of the two sighed. "He's in his room..." she said as Gwen walked out the door. "He's working! And he was with you while you were unconscious. He's probably tired!" But Gwen was already out her door, walking towards Hiei's room.
Meanwhile, Hiei lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering if Gwen would recover...and if she would still love him...
Mukuro knocked at his door and entered, seeing Hiei on his bed. He sat up, looking at her. "What, Mukuro?"
"I'm very sorry about what happened to Gwenevere," she said as she sat next to him.
"Hn."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No."
Mukuro hugged him. Hiei tensed up and felt very uncomfortable.
"I'll be here if you need to be comforted," she said, loving every minute of holding Hiei. (Here comes the true self of Mukuro! You can tell I hate her.) She breathed in his scent, but as soon as those words had come out of her mouth, Hiei pushed her off him.
"I don't need your...comfort," he spat, glaring at her. But Mukuro had anticipated this, and it made her want him all the more.
Then Mukuro (being the bitch she is) leaned down and kissed him.
Gwen watched this, not believing what Mukuro was doing. But to Gwen's shock, Hiei hadn't broken the kiss.
'What's he doing!?' Gwen thought, tears threatening to fall. She dropped the tear gem, stumbling back to her room.
Hiei, being shocked terribly (my poor baby! He almost had a heart attack!), finally came to his senses and pushed Mukuro off, drawing his katana. (It's clean, people!) "Get out."
"But Hiei, I want you," Mukuro said, standing up.
"I don't want you. I want the hanyou. I promised her that I wouldn't leave her."
"Fine," Mukuro declared. "But you'll get tired of her. I'll be waiting for you." Mukuro walked out, not looking back at him.
He walked out after her, spotting something sparkling on the floor. He picked it up, seeing that it was his tear gem. He was confused. 'How did this get here?' he thought. 'I placed it in the hanyou's hand... Did she wake up? Did she see Mukuro and me?' He looked down at the gem, and vanished. Guilt was one of the feelings he despised the most, next to the emotion known as love.
