Even More Problems

“Kaihei!!” Toushi screamed.
“Get him on the table!” Bulma ordered, running towards the cabinets on the back wall. Goku slipped an arm under the boy’s shoulders while Vegeta slid an arm under his legs. Trunks pulled the now hysterical Toushi away from his brother. The two Saiyans and two demons looked at each other, signaling that they were ready. They moved the boy as one, keeping pressure on his wound.
As soon as Kaihei hit the table, Bulma began working. “Do either of you know CPR?” She asked, glancing up to the demons.
“I do.” Kurama nodded, his cool completely gone.
“Then let’s get to work.” Bulma said, moving to the side of the table. “You breathed for Kaihei, I’ll do the chest compressions.” The two set to work.
Hiei looked up and saw the purple haired Saiyan trying to comfort his other son. “Can you take Toushi out of the room, Trunks?” He asked, knowing just how grave the situation was. Plus, if Kaihei died, he knew it would literally destroy Toushi. The boys were already so close even at their young age.
“NO, I want to stay.” Toushi protested, struggling to get free. Trunks only nodded though and carried the crying boy from the room.
Minutes passed while Bulma and Kurama continued to work on Kaihei. He was showing no signs of improvement. Kurama was openly crying as he breathed for his son. Bulma looked at the clock, stopping her chest compressions. She then looked to Hiei with a negative shake of her head. There was nothing else they could do for the small boy. He was already gone.
The fire demon took a shaky breath, pulling his bloody hands away from his son. He had lost his little boy. He gently, but firmly pulled Kurama away from Kaihei. The fox was still trying to breath for him and wasn’t giving up. Hiei and his fox collapsed to the floor, hugging each other for support.
Bulma watched the two demons, feeling their grief, but also feeling guilty. Goku and Vegeta stood off to the side, feeling much the same way. The demon family had come to them for help and still lost their son in the process.
A choking gasp, drew all their attention back to the table. Both demons quickly got up and was back at their son’s side. Kaihei gasped again, trying to draw in air. Kurama almost collapsed, seeing his son was in fact breathing, but barely. The fire demon whipped his fox around to face them.
“Get yourself together, Kurama.” Hiei ordered harshly. “You’re the only one that has the knowledge to save our son. Now do it!”
“Right!” Kurama squared his shoulders and turned to Bulma. “I need water and many bowls. Also, if you have some kind of grinder that will help.”
“I do.” Bulma said before looking over to the Saiyan males. “You heard him, boys.” Goku and Vegeta nodded and then quickly ran from the room. Hiei had moved over and was again applying pressure to his son’s injury. Kurama began pulling several different seeds from his hair. He made each of them grow, setting them on a rolling cart that Bulma had brought over.
The fox then looked over to the Saiyan woman. “I also need a cup and water.” Bulma only nodded and hurried over to the intercom. She quickly re-laid the message to Goku and Vegeta. She then returned to the table for further orders.
“Do you think an IV could help him?” Bulma asked, looking over the deathly pale boy.
“It shouldn’t hurt as long as it only a saline solution.” Kurama replied, sitting another plant on the metal cart.
Bulma started gathering up her needed supplies for the IV. Goku and Vegeta suddenly appeared in the room with the requested items. They both rushed over to the table.
“Hiei, I need you to dry these two plants out.” Kurama said, pointing to the ones he was talking about.
“I’ll keep the pressure on the wound.” Goku volunteered, moving over beside the fire demon. He took over for Hiei, who hurried over to the fox. Hiei quickly dried out the plants that his mate had indicated. Kurama was already grinding up another plant. Just then a portal opened, Koenma and Botan jumped out. The Saiyans instantly recognized the newcomers as the ones from a few nights before.
“I had Kaihei’s papers hit my desk a few minutes ago.” Koenma said, hurrying towards the table. The fire demon blurred out of sight and reappeared between his son and Jr. God.
“I won’t let you take him without a fight.” Hiei growled, his hand moving towards his katana.
“Koenma, please!” Kurama pleaded, looking up from what he was doing. “Stall as long as you can. Please do it for everything we have done for the Ningenkai, the Reikai, and you. Give us the chance to save our son!”
“Keep working, Kurama. I’m not here to get him. I’m going to stall as long as I can. We just came to see if we can help out in any way.”
“Thank you.” Kurama inclined his head before going back to work. Hiei visibly relaxed after hearing that.
“Before we came here, we tried to find Yukina, but had no luck.” Botan said, moving to stand beside the kit. She gently took hold of his cold, pale hand. With that simple touch, she knew how bad the situation was. The Saiyan woman shook her head slightly as she hooked up the IV to the child.
“You won’t be able to find her. She’s off on a journey that all ice maidens have to undertake to become a true member of that race.” Hiei answered quickly. The one time he desperately needed his sister and she was not available to help him. All because she wanted to belong to the same race that had shunned him, her own twin brother. This was the first time he actually felt anger towards his sister and he hoped it would be the last. The Saiyan woman’s voice drew him from his thoughts.
“Is there anything else you need, Kurama?” Bulma asked, moving over beside the fox.
“Yes, I just need one more item. Do you have a syringe without a needle? I need it to force an elixir down Kaihei’s throat.” Kurama answered quickly.
“I do.” Bulma rushed over to another cabinet. The fox finished up with the poultice he was making.
“Hiei, come over here please.” Kurama called to his mate. The fire demon was at his fox’s side in a second so he continued. “Can you heat the water up, but not boiling. Kaihei will have to swallow it.”
“Hn.” Hiei put his hand into the water and raised his energy. In a matter of seconds, the water was steaming. Kurama dropped a handful of the plant material into it so it would steep while they worked. He picked up the bowl of poultice and turned to his son. Hiei turned around and literally pushed Goku out of the way. “We’ll take over now.”
The demons went to work quickly. They wiped as much blood away as they could and started applying the thick, green poultice to the still bleeding wound.
“Maybe stitching would be better.” Bulma suggested, frowning at the mixture. From the look of it, it would probably cause an infection.
“No, my fox knows what he’s doing.” Hiei quickly replied. After the incident with the senzue bean, he would only trust demon methods with his son ever again.
“I’ll explain later, Bulma.” Kurama added, not looking up from his task. “I need lots of bandages.”
Bulma only nodded and went over to yet another cabinet and then hurried back with her arms full of white rolls of gauze. Hiei held their son up while Kurama began to wrap layer after layer around the boy’s torso. Koenma, Vegeta, and Goku stood off to the side, watching the goings on. Botan was still holding Kaihei’s cold hand, refusing to let go. Bulma stood quietly beside her.
When the kit was completely bandaged up, Hiei gently laid him back down. Kurama turned back to the small cart and filled the syringe with the tea mixture. He then turned back to his son and pushed the syringe far back into Kaihei’s mouth. The fox nodded to his mate that he was ready.
Hiei started massaging the boy’s throat, forcing him to swallow while the fox began to push the liquid down his throat. The demons repeated this several times until they were sure their son had gotten enough of the tea. They done everything they could do for their son, now it was up to him and his will to survive. The fox looked down at himself. He had on no shirt and had dried or drying blood all over his arms and chest. Hiei was much the same way, except he had on a tank top.
“There is a bathroom right down the hall, if you two want to clean up some.” Bulma suggested, checking the kit’s IV. Kurama was about to protest, but the fire demon grabbed him and started leading him from the room.
“Come on, Kurama, we’ll only be gone a few minutes.” Hiei said quietly, when his mate started to pull away.
The fox allowed his mate to lead him from the room and down the hall to the bathroom. Kurama stood at the sink, scrubbing his arms and hands trying to get his son’s blood off of them.
“Kurama, stop!” Hiei said, grabbing his mate’s hands. His fox was scrubbing so hard, he was leaving red marks behind. He looked at his mate closely and was shocked at what he saw. Kurama was just barely holding himself together. Hiei dropped the lid on the toilet and looked up to his mate. “Sit!”
“But I….” Kurama tried to protest.
“Damn it! Kurama, sit down!” Hiei demanded. The fox sighed and slumped down onto the toilet. The fire demon quickly washed his hands and arms before grabbing a washcloth. He wet the material and moved over in front of his mate. Hiei washed their son’s blood off of Kurama. He stopped every so often to wash out the cloth.
“We can’t loose him, Hiei.” Kurama whispered, finally breaking the silence.
“We won’t, fox. He is strong and comes from good blood, ours. He will live.” Hiei stated, wiping the last of the blood off of his mate’s shoulder.
“I hope so.”
“I know so.”
“I want revenge against whoever ordered this attack against our baby.” Kurama looked up, hatred and vengeance glinting in his golden eyes.
“I do too and we will get the demon. I promise you that.” Hiei replied, anger evident in his eyes too. He threw the washcloth into the sink while looking his mate over. “Maybe you should switch back to your human form now.”
“I didn’t even realize I was still in my demon form.” Kurama said, looking down at himself. He raised his energy and quickly switched forms. At least his human form still had on a shirt so he was fully clothed again.
The demons exited the bathroom and hurried back down to the medical room that held their son. They didn’t even speak to anyone that was either sitting or standing outside of the door. They hadn’t spoken when they originally left the room either. After going into the room, Hiei closed the door behind them. Their son was just how they left him with an exception that made their stomachs do flip-flops. Kaihei now had on an oxygen mask.
“What happened?” Kurama asked, rushing over to the table that held his son. Hiei was right behind him.
“Kaihei’s breathing slowed down even more. The oxygen mask will help him to breath.” Bulma explained quickly for the worried demons.
Hiei and Kurama only nodded and took the seats Goku had sat up for them. It wasn’t long before Koenma and Botan left, leaving promises that they would continue to stall on Kaihei’s papers. Bulma went out and explained to all that was waiting what had happened and how the kit was doing at the moment. Goku and Vegeta left as well so the demons could be alone with there son. Bulma came back in later with some food, but the demons refused to eat. She told them that Toushi was still very upset, he even cried himself to sleep.
“So, can you explain to me now why stitches wouldn’t be good?” Bulma asked, finally approaching the subject she was concerned about. “The wound was very serious. It should have had stitches.”
“For ningens, yes it should have had stitches.” Kurama answered, looking to the woman. “But Kaihei is demon, he won’t need any stitches.”
“I don’t understand.” Bulma shook her head.
“Our son will heal fine given time. He won’t even have a scar.” Hiei tried to explain. “His demon blood and energy will see to that.”
“Huh?” Bulma was now confused.
“Demons heal a great deal faster then ningens.” Kurama supplied. “If the demon survives the blood lost, the wound will completely heal in a matter of a couple of days according to how severe the injury is.”
“Oh, I understand now. So, what was all that stuff you used on Kaihei?” Bulma asked, while she changed the IV bag to a new one.
“I used three different plants for the poultice. The first was Shovelweed, it stops the bleeding, the other two fights off infections, they are Agrimony and Chamomile. In the tea mixture that we made Kaihei drink was dead nettle, used to stop internal bleeding, and Goldenrod used to strengthen the veins and is a blood builder.”
“Those seem to good remedies. Where did you learn all of your knowledge of plants?” Bulma asked quickly.
“My fox knows everything there is to know about plants. He can come up with something that would heal every ailment in all three worlds.” Hiei boasted with pride. “He has also begun to teach Kaihei all of his knowledge.”
“I’m sure that Kaihei will be as smart as Kurama then.” Bulma smiled, looking down to the boy. That’s if he lived through the night though. The boy was still unbelievably pale and cold to the touch. She honestly didn’t give him much chance of survival, but she wouldn’t tell his parents that. The Saiyan woman looked back to the demons. “I can watch him for awhile if you two want to get some sleep.”
“No, thank you. We probably won’t leave our son’s side for more then a few minutes.” Kurama quietly answered. Hiei only nodded his agreement.
“That’s understandable, I wouldn’t want to leave my child’s side either, but I had to try.” Bulma said, coming around the table to the demons. “I’ll have one of the men bring a futon and bedding supplies down for you two just in case you want to rest.”
“We probably won’t.” Kurama sadly answered. Hiei only nodded in agreement again.
“Well, in any case, I’ll have one brought down if you want too.” Bulma said before turning around and leaving the room, closing the door behind her.
It wasn’t long until Trunks walked into the room carrying a futon and Pan was behind him carrying the bedding supplies. They sat the items on the floor near the demons, offered their support in any way, and then quietly left the room. Hiei and Kurama looked at each other and then both looked at Kaihei. They were alone with their critically ill son for the night. They both knew how bad the situation was. It could very well be the last night that they had with their cherished baby.
