Chapter 47 – Recovery and the Beginning.

Chapter 47 – Recovery and the Beginning. Announcement

Two Chapters today and tomorrow!

Hishya was currently unconscious and her injuries were quite severe. Funnily enough, her self-destruction caused more damage to her than Akagi's attacks. Yumi provided immediate aid, and Hishya's worst injuries were swiftly healed, but Akagi still opted to have her seen by her dedicated physician, Mimi. The Yuki-Onna was quite skilled in healing magic and non-magical medical practice. So if there was anyone qualified to treat Hishya's injuries, it would be her. On top of that, Akagi wanted to speak with Kira. perhaps she would understand Hishya's draconic blood being a half-dragon herself?

Before anything else, Akagi had Yumi use her magic to restore the damaged field to its prebattle condition. Hishya's magic took quite a toll on the landscape and Akagi felt bad leaving it to the school to fix it. With a twirl of her staff, the ground began to restore as holes filled in grass regrew. After a few minutes, it was as if the two had never even battled.

While Yumi repaired the field, Akagi went over to Kana and the others. The crowd was in quite an energetic mood, but Akagi ignored them and pulled the girls aside.

"I'll be returning to the house with Hishya, I want to get Mimi to look at her injuries, and she and I need to have a talk about her power." She looked at Kana. "I don't think you could tell from here, but Hishya nearly went out of control." she shook her head. "Damn fool didn't know her limits and nearly flew into an instinct-fueled rage."

Kana was shocked. "Is she ok?!?" Her eyes showed deep concern for the dragon girl.

"She's fine," Akagi reassured her. "She's asleep, and Yumi healed her worst injuries, but I'm going to have Kira talk to her. She's the only person I know, other than Hishya, who has the blood of a dragon running through her veins. She might know more about what just happened." Kira was quite familiar with dragons and spent most of her life dealing with them.

"Ok, should I come back with you?" Kana asked. She seemed very concerned about Hishya's condition.

"Only if you want to," Akagi replied. "If you need to stay here, that's fine. I can just send someone to collect you later."

"I see, then I'll stay for now. I need to help with cleanup, and I'll never hear the end of it if I disappear now." Kana gave a wry smile.

After giving Kana a hug and saying goodbye to Mika and Naomi, Akagi gathered up her followers and Hishya and teleported back to her estate.

The group arrived in front of the main house, and Akagi told Chloe to quickly gather Kira and to meet in the medical center on the first floor of the servant's quarter. The cat-girl took off at blistering speed, and Akagi carried her unconscious rival, finding it amusing that this would be the second time Mimi needed to treat her after a fight.

The medical center was quite mundane. Mimi had no interest in modern technology, so the room was stocked with herbs and other items from FWO. Akagi was trying to get her to at least use this world's more advanced medical knowledge, but getting her to do so was like pulling teeth. This was unsurprising as a nearly thousand-year-old Yuki-Onna, she was quite resistant to change. Upon arriving in the front room, Hishya was quickly taken by Mimi's older daughter Suzu and placed in one of the beds. Mimi had two daughters who assisted her in providing medical care. Suzu, who was the eldest, and Yuzu, the youngest. Both looked similar to their mother, but their human blood left them without the signature teal hair that Yuki-Onna were known for.

"Oh dear," Mimi appeared from her office. "It would seem you've brought me quite the interesting patient." she chuckled.

"Yeah, we had an exhibition match, and she ended up blowing herself up rather than surrendering." Akagi shook her head. "She's a real piece of work. Yumi took care of most of her injuries with her magic, but I wanted to have you look at her, just to make sure."

"No problem." Mimi took out a small pane of glass from her robe and poured some of her magic into it. Once it began to glow, she walked over and used it to examine Hishya, and her eyes began to glow with magic. After about five minutes she put the glass away and looked at Akagi.

"Yumi's magic seems to have handled most issue. Right now, what she needs is rest. I'll prepare a herbal remedy that will help her body recover its stamina. Other than that, she won't need anything else from me." This was good news. Akagi knew that magic wasn't the be-all-end-all for fixing injuries and was concerned that Hishya may have done more damage than Yumi could repair.

"Thanks, Mimi." Akagi was relieved.

The Yuki-Onna turned and looked at her daughters. "Please go and prepare some tea which will help Ms. Hishya recover. Make sure it's not too hot so she can drink it when she awakens." Her two daughters nodded and went into the preparation area.

{Is she smiling because she's in control or because she's not?} Hishya would later find the answer to her question, and the answer would shock her.

"Yeah, your right." Hishya shook away her thoughts. "If you're willing to help me, I would be grateful." She bowed to Kira.

"If My Lord wills it, it shall be done." She gave a small smile. "And it's always an honor to work with an honored one such as yourself." Kira's caused Hishya to blush in embarrassment.

"Please don't speak to me like that, I'm not special! I'm just a girl who turned into a dragon that's it!" It would seem that even Hishya couldn't take such praise with a straight face.

"Nonsense, even if your circumstances are a bit strange, you are still Dragon. What you were before is irrelevant to what you are now." Kira gave a firm response, which caused Akagi to laugh.

"Well, you heard her. Kira, help this idiot out, and please respect her wishes as to how she should be treated. I know you have deep respect for Dragons but Hishya is a little different; if she asks you to treat her normally please do." Akagi was kind enough to at least throw Hishya a lifeline on this issue.

"As you wish." Kira gave a bow and left the room.

"Let me know when you want to do training with her, and I'll set up the time and stuff," Akagi said.

"I will. I guess that means I'll be seeing you a lot more in the near future." Hishya gave a smile.

"You mean Kana." Akagi teased causing Hishya to hit her in the chest out of embarrassment.

As this was going on, Akagi got a phone call from Kana, and when she picked up, she was assaulted by a frantic Kana.

"Onee-chan did you see the news? They've abducted the Governor of Tokyo and attacked city hall!" Kana's words caused the entire room to go silent. Akagi looked at Hishya, and the two women knew this would be nothing but trouble.
