Shangri La Pt. 1

3: Invulnerable

The two of them carried Katsuki inside the first house they came to and carefully set him down on the floor. 

"So he was poisoned from behind?" Zeri said. 

"Yes, the poison isn't contagious, is it?" Izumi asked. Zeri didn't answer, as she continued examining Katsuki's body. 

"Hmm, it seems he has some kind of immunity from this poison." Izumi froze. 

"W-What?" 

"Usually this kind of poison would've spread to the rest of the body at this point, but looking at his condition, he seems fine. He's only like this because he was shot, and it seems he might've digested something that caused him to cough blood. It's a surprise to see someone immune to such a deadly poison too." Zeri said.

Though Izumi was surprised that this man was immune, she let out a sigh of relief. 

"Well at least one thing's been taken care of. But what about the injury?" Izumi asked. 

"That's also not a problem, you'll have to help me pull the arrow out though. Once we get the arrow out, it shouldn't be a problem after." Zeri said, Izumi nodded. 

Izumi had to hold Katsuki's body down just so Zeri would be able to break the arrow in half and try to get it out of Katsuki's shoulder. She had to go slow just so nothing would rupture his shoulder, but the arrow was soon out of Katsuki's body. 

"Hah- thank goodness nothing bad happened to him." Izumi exhaled. 

"We're not done yet." Izumi looked and saw how serious Zeri was.

Izumi realized how much the ash blond's shoulder was bleeding and had to stay focused just so she wouldn't worry the doctor. 

"Now then, I will need you to hold him down again so I can close the wound. This part usually doesn't take that long, but because of how big the wound is, it will take longer than usual for me." Zeri said. 

"Mn. Please don't rush yourself." Izumi said.

 Zeri grabbed a bag that was near them and pulled out a pair of what seemed to be gloves made of dry leather and handed them to the greenette.

"Huh?" 

"You need to wear these, you'll understand why." Zeri said. Izumi looked up at her and noticed how serious and slightly scary her Red Violet eyes were staring at her. 

"Oh, o-okay." 

Izumi said and grabbed the gloves and put them on and held Katsuki down again. 

"Hold him as much as you can, this isn't easy for some people." Izumi nodded. 

Zeri took a deep breath and placed her left hand on Katsuki's bleeding shoulder and exhaled. Once she let her breath out, the sight of Purple sparks of lightning coming from her hand and straight onto Katsuki's back appeared.

Izumi's eyes went wide from the sight, and she looked up to see how focused Zeri was at controlling the lightning. Now it made sense why Izumi was wearing the gloves the doctor gave her, just so she wouldn't get electrocuted by the shock. 

'Holy Woah, she has this kind of ability and she's a doctor?' Izumi thought.

The color purple faded and soon the sight of strong burns were on the back of Katsuki's shoulder. The burns weren't large but it was evident that it looked like he was burned by something. 

"There, the wound's been closed- ah-" Zeri looked up to see Izumi's eyes sparkling with excitement. 

"You can use lightning to heal people, that's so cool!" Izumi said in amazement.
