Heroes Unite
Chapter 17 of 30
Things Are Looking Up In Many Ways
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kurama and Hiei sat in silence for a long time just watching their son breath. Kaihei wasn’t improving at all, his breathing was still just as shallow. The fire demon got up, unrolled the futon, and spread out the bedding items. He then sat down in the middle of it and looked over to his mate.
“Come lay down, Kurama.” Hiei beckoned, gesturing with a hand. He could tell his fox was about ready to drop from exhaustion. If that happened, it would help no one.
“No, we need to keep an eye on Kaihei. I need to keep an eye on him.” Kurama was barely audible, but the fire demon heard him clearly. He reached over and took the kit’s small hand into his.
“He’s not going anywhere, fox.” Hiei tried again. When Kurama didn’t move or answer him he added. “You can rest in case we are in need of your knowledge again. I’ll stay awake and watch our son.”
“Alright.” Kurama relented, knowing he would not win against his mate. He got up and brushed his lips against Kaihei’s forehead. He turned around and moved the few steps to the futon. The fox sank to the floor and then turned towards the fire demon.
Hiei didn’t disappoint his mate. He quickly wrapped Kurama in his arms and pulled him closer. It was then that the fox broke down. All of his anger and sorrow came pouring out in tears and hard sobs. He was angry over the whole situation and at himself for not protecting his young son. It was sometime before Kurama’s breathing had evened out, signaling that he had cried himself to sleep.
Hiei carefully laid down, taking his tired mate with him. He laid their watching Kaihei slowly breath and silently praying to any god that would listen for his boy to live. He was just as worried and emotionally drained as Kurama was, but it came out of him differently. He couldn’t cry for Kaihei like his fox had, though he wanted to and probably needed too. The only people he could ever cry for would be Yukina and Kurama.
For this, Hiei felt great guilt. Kaihei was his own flesh and blood, he held a special place in his heart. He would even die for his son if need be. Still he couldn’t cry for his precious kit and probably never would. The fire demon looked down to his adored, exhausted mate. Kurama was sleeping peacefully thanks to him.
Hiei was controlling the fox’s dreams, keeping them nice and relaxing. He began to absently run his fingers through his lover’s long hair, while he again started watching their son. It was much later when there came a soft knock on the door before it opened. Bulma quietly walked in, nodding at the fire demon as she passed him going towards Kaihei. Hiei carefully extracted himself from within his mate’s arms and then walked over to stand beside the Saiyan woman.
“Has there been any change in his condition?” Bulma asked softly, not wanting to wake up the fox. She was changing out Kaihei’s IV bag.
“Hn, no change.” Hiei replied, also quietly.
“I guess that’s better then him taking a turn for the worst. How are you holding up, Hiei?”
“I’m fine, though I’m very worried about my fox.”
“Yes, for some reason he seems to be taking this harder then you, but honestly I don’t see how. Kaihei is your son too.” Bulma said while checking the boy’s pulse.
“Make no mistake, I’m just as upset as Kurama is. I after all gave birth to Kaihei. I however show my emotions differently, I keep everything inside.” Hiei answered truthfully.
“Vegeta, my mate, is like that. He’ll keep everything bottled up inside of him too. So, I think I know what you mean. How did you get Kurama to rest? I didn’t think he would move from his son’s side.”
“It wasn’t too hard. Kurama and I usually share dominance in our mating, neither one of us is above the other. However, for a few months now I have come out the dominate one.”
“How is that possible if you two share?” Bulma asked quickly.
“It’s just that Kurama is wanting to be submissive. Believe me, if he didn’t want to be that way I certainly couldn’t make him. There are times when I become the submissive one too and it happens for weeks at a time. It’s all according to how we’re feeling and what we’re wanting.” Hiei answered.
“Oh, I see. Well, try to get some rest and call me on the intercom if you need me, especially if there is any change in Kaihei.” Bulma said before quietly exiting the room.
Hiei adjusted the blankets over his son, making sure he was good and covered. Then since he was already up, he flitted to the bathroom and came back. He settled back into the futon next to his lover. Kurama instantly turned and embraced him, mumbling the fire demon’s name in his sleep.
Hiei would have smiled upon hearing that, but the current situation took that away. He reached up and pulled the ward off his jagan eye so he could continue watching his kit while he dozed. It seemed he just closed his eyes when he was alerted to a change in Kaihei’s condition. The fire demon jumped up, forgetting that his fox was next to him. This of course woke Kurama right up. They both rushed to their son’s side.
“Kaihei!” Kurama exclaimed, grabbing the boy’s hand. The kit was finally awake because he slowly looked to his parents.
“Daddy? Papa?” Kaihei whispered just before he started to shiver uncontrollably. “I’m cold.”
“Hn.” Hiei quickly got up on the bed. He wrapped the boy in his arms and pulled him into his chest. He then raised his body temperature, trying to warm his son up.
“You’ll be warm soon thanks to your papa.” Kurama sat down on the side of the bed, still holding the kit’s hand.
They remained like that for thirty minutes. Kaihei continued to shiver and complain that he was cold. Hiei didn’t know what else to do. He had raised his body temperature so much that if he raised it any more he would burn his kit. The fox grew more worried with each passing second.
“I’m going to call Bulma down.” Kurama announced suddenly. They had been trying to put it off, not wanting to disturb the Saiyan woman, but they couldn’t put it off any longer.
The fox rose form the bed and hurried to the intercom. He pushed the button labeled B&V and then called into it Bulma answered and said she was on her way down. Kurama then hurried back over to the bed that held his son and lover. He reseated himself beside them. In a couple of minutes, Vegeta and Bulma ran into the room, straight towards the bed.
“Oh, Kaihei’s awake!” Bulma smiled, but then the smile disappeared when she saw the boy shivering. “What’s the matter?”
“He keeps saying he’s cold! Hiei has tried to warm him up, but it hasn’t helped. If my mate raises his temperature any more he will burn our son.” Kurama quickly supplied.
Bulma only nodded and sat to work. She ran over to one of the cabinets and pulled out several blankets. She handed them to Kurama as she went past, heading to another cabinet. The fox spread the blankets out over both Kaihei and Hiei. Bulma put a couple of IV bags into the small microwave and heated them up.
“This should help.” Bulma said as she switched out the warm IV bags for the cold one.
“Are you getting any warmer, firebug?” Hiei asked quietly.
“No, papa.” Kaihei answered, shaking his head. The fire demon looked up to his fox, there was worry clearly present on both of their faces.
“Is there any plant concoction you can give him?” Hiei asked, though already knowing the answer.
“I’m afraid not.” Kurama whispered sadly.
“If I may?” Bulma stepped forward. “Kaihei has lost a great deal of blood. I believe he needs a transfusion. It should help him a lot. I can go to the hospital my family owns and easily get the blood.”
“Won’t work.” Kurama answered as he took hold of his son’s hand. “He needs demon blood, human blood could easily kill him in large amounts if it doesn’t go through his stomach. And even then it takes a demon’s stomach a few days to process the blood.”
“We got all the demon blood he needs.” Hiei quickly spoke up when an idea struck him.
“We do?” Kurama asked, looking to his mate. He wasn’t quite sure what the fire demon had in mind.
“We do, fox. We’ll give our kit our blood. He’ll absorb it a hell of a lot faster.” Hiei said before looking over to the Saiyan woman. “Do you have a sharp knife and another clean bowl?”
“I do, but I don’t see how this will help. I won’t be able to get it into an IV bag. I don’t have the equipment.” Bulma answered.
“Just get the items. Kurama and I will get the blood into Kaihei.” Hiei stated quickly.
Vegeta had been leaning against the far wall the whole time, watching everything that was going on. He perked up when he figured out what the demons were up too. He pushed himself off the wall as he spoke. “I’ll get the items.” He then turned and rushed from the room. The fox now knew exactly what the fire demon had in mind
“Kaihei, we need you to do something for us.” Kurama started, not sure how he was going to explain what was going to happen.
“Will you do it?” Hiei asked, tightening his hold on his kit.
“I’ll do what you and daddy tell me.” Kaihei answered, looking up to the fire demon. “I always listen.”
“We know you do, baby.” Kurama smiled. Just then, Vegeta walked back into the room carrying the requested items.
“So, how are we going to do this?” Bulma asked, still not sure what the demons were up too. “I again don’t have the needed equipment.”
“We don’t need fancy ningen equipment.” Hiei smirked. “All we need is the knife, bowl, and that metal table there.”
“Please bring the things over here.” Kurama asked, rolling up the sleeve on his right arm.
Bulma pushed the small cart right up next to the bed. Vegeta instantly sat the requested items on it and then stepped back. He was very interested as to what the demons were going to do.
“Bulma, this may frighten you, you may want to leave.” Kurama warned as he picked up the knife and tested the sharpness of it. They needed it to be extremely sharp so it would do the job the first time.
“I’ll stay.” Bulma insisted.
“Fine.” Hiei grunted. “You have been warned.”
“What are you going to do?” Bulma asked quickly.
“We’re going to help our son the demon way.” Kurama answered truthfully. Hiei held out his arm over the bowl. The fox looked to his mate to see if he was ready. When the fire demon nodded, he brought the blade quickly across the presented wrist. Bulma gasped as the knife went deeply into the fire demon’s flesh. Blood instantly rushed from the wound and into the bowl.
“Papa?!” Kaihei whispered, scared to death.
Vegeta was amazed that Hiei didn’t even flinch. Kurama then held his arm over the bowl and did the same thing to his own wrist.
“Daddy?!” Kaihei shrieked.
“It’s okay, baby.” Kurama said, trying to reassure his son. “Your father and I know what we’re doing.”
Bulma stood there with a hand over her mouth in complete shock. The demons continued to let their blood flow freely into the bowl, both remaining relaxed. The bowl was nearly full when they raised their energies. The blood stopped flowing almost at once. Bulma absently held out a rag to the demons. Kurama took it and wiped his wrist off. He then wiped Hiei’s off as well. He picked up the bowl and slowly poured the warm mixed blood into a cup that was sitting on the cart.
“Kaihei, we need you to drink this.” Kurama said, picking up the cup and holding it out to his son. Bulma was about to protest the gross idea when a hand on her shoulder stopped her. She looked back to see Vegeta shaking his head no, not to interfere.
“But it’s blood!” Kaihei stared at the cup. “And it’s yours and papa’s.”
“That it is, kit, but you need to drink it. It will help you to get better and you just may find that you like the taste of blood.” Hiei smirked, looking down to his son. Kurama glared at his mate because of the last comment. That was the last thing they needed, their son to take a liking for blood.
“But….” Kaihei tried to protest.
“Drink it, Kaihei. You’re a demon, You’ll be just fine.” Kurama insisted.
The kit slowly brought his hands up around the cup and then brought the cup to his mouth. Kaihei glanced at both of his parents before finally tilting the cup and starting to drink little by little. He made a face, but continued to drink with the fox helping him to hold the cup sturdy.
“Good boy.” Hiei said when the cup was finally empty.
“Yes, very good.” Kurama praised as well. He took the cup from his son and quickly refilled it. He then held the cup back out to the boy.
“How much do I have to drink?” Kaihei asked, taking the cup again.
“Until it’s all gone.” Hiei answered.
“The whole bowl?!” Kaihei exclaimed.
“The whole bowl, baby.” Kurama confirmed. “Now, drink up.”
Kaihei sighed before beginning to drink again. The whole process was repeated two more times until the bowl was empty. The kit’s shivering had been greatly reduced, it was almost gone. He was now turned into the fire demon’s chest, drifting to sleep. Hiei was absently running his hands over his son’s back. Kurama reached forward and wiped a trail of blood from his kit’s chin. During all of that, Vegeta and Bulma remained quiet, just watching the demon family.
Vegeta’s suspicions were right. He had figured the demons would make the boy drink their blood. It was known for Saiyans to do the same thing when there was no blood or rejuvenation tank available. “Let’s go back to bed, woman. Hiei and Kurama can handle it from here.” He said before turning and leaving the room.
“Will you three be okay?” Bulma asked, unsure if she should leave. She changed out the IV bags yet again.
“Yes, we’ll be fine.” Kurama answered her.
“Now.” Hiei added quietly, looking down to the boy he held. Bulma only smiled before she quickly left the room.
“Our baby’s shivering has seemed to have stopped.” Kurama commented, running his fingers through the kit’s hair.
“Yes, I believe so.” Hiei agreed near a whisper. He had already lowered his own body temperature back to normal.
“I’m so happy that he’s showing signs of improvement.”
“Hn, he’ll be perfectly fine in a few days.”
“I was so afraid we were going to lose him, Koi. If we had I don’t know what I would’ve done.” Kurama whispered this time, brushing his fingers across Kaihei’s cheek.
“I told you he was strong, fox.” Hiei said as he slipped out of his kit’s arms. He then pulled the blankets back over the boy. He walked around the bed to stand beside his mate. The fox laced their fingers together and squeezed lightly.
“He sure is strong.” Kurama smiled, “Stronger then us.”
“We knew he would be when he was born.” Hiei smirked. “Now, let us rest. We need it after the blood loss.”
“Fine.” Kurama nodded to his mate’s request. The demons walked over to the futon, laid down, and snuggled together. The door slowly opened, catching their attention before they could go to sleep.
They watched secretively as Toushi quietly crossed the room. He had on a t-shirt and boxers, but no shoes. He walked up to the bed and watched his brother for a couple of minutes. The boy still didn’t know that his parents were wake even as he gently touched his brother’s cheek.
Kaihei’s eyes fluttered open and he slowly smiled. “Toushi?”
“Yeah….I’m sorry I wasn’t fast enough.” Toushi was starting to cry. “I’ll get faster….I’ll be faster next time. I promise.”
“I’ll do better too.”
“We’re going to train all the time, so we’ll both get better. I won‘t let you get hurt again.”
“I love you, Toushi, my brother.” Kaihei smiled, though he was in pain.
“I love you, Kaihei.” Toushi smiled too, pulling the chair closer to the bed. He was about to sit down when his brother grabbed his hand. “What? You want something to drink?”
“No!” Kaihei shuttered, thinking of the last four cups of blood he had to drink. He smiled at his brother once more as he pulled the blankets back. “Please sleep in the bed with me.”
“Okay.” Toushi grinned while he climbed up on the bed and beneath the covers. The boys cuddled close and slipped into sleep easily in the others arms.
Kurama and Hiei were grinning at each other, but didn’t dare speak. They didn’t want to disturb their sons. There plan may have had a few bumps in the road, yet somehow it was coming out to what they wanted. Hiei and Kurama shared a kiss, both happy with the new development. It wasn’t long before they were both sleeping lightly, but at least it was rest. They really did need it, they were both physically and emotionally drained after the long day that they had been through. It honestly didn’t seem like the day would ever end, but it finally had.
