Still Getting Better
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kurama awoke to the sounds of soft talking. He was lying right next to Hiei with his head lying on his mate’s chest. He heard and felt a deep chuckle come from the fire demon. There were also small giggles coming from off to the side, giggles the fox recognized. He turned over to see Kaihei grinning lopsidedly.
“Hi, daddy.” Kaihei waved cheerfully. “You’re finally awake.”
“I guess I am.” Kurama smiled, glancing to the bed beside the boy. Toushi was sound asleep next to his brother, his little arms around an equally small waist. He could actually picture those same arms, but much stronger around a much bigger waist, a pregnant waist, years from now. Well, maybe that was the future and he had to look back to the present for now. He turned to the fire demon behind him. “How long have you two been awake?”
“A little while.” Hiei smiled too, brushing some hair behind the fox’s ear. “Sleep well?”
“Yes…. Why didn’t you wake me?” Kurama asked.
“Because papa said you needed to sleep.” Kaihei answered his father. “He said you was very tired.”
“Oh really?” Kurama sat up slowly. “Maybe I was a little. You had me very worried, Kaihei. How do you feel?”
“I feel a lot better, but my side still hurts.” Kaihei gently touched where he meant, just above his brother’s arms.
“Hn, it’ll get better.” Hiei said, sitting up as well.
“So, why were you two laughing when I woke up?” Kurama asked, looking between the two. He wanted to know what the small joke had been.
“You were saying papa’s name funny while you were sleeping.” Kaihei giggled. The fox blushed, quickly recalling the dream he was having before he awoke. It was very vivid and starred the fire demon.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?!” Kurama rounded on his mate.
“You were tired and appeared to be having a great dream.” Hiei smirked wickedly. This of course made the fox blush even more.
“What were you dreaming about?” Kaihei asked, watching his parents. He liked it when they played with each other.
“Um…” Kurama turned back to his son. He was racking his brain for an excuse. They didn’t lie to the kits, but the boy wasn’t old enough to understand the dream his father had. “Um….I had a dream about eating whip cream and your father was eating it with me.” The fox sighed, it wasn’t a total lie, but it was far from the truth.
“Was the whip cream good?” Kaihei asked innocently.
“Delicious.” Kurama smiled, glancing to his mate.
“Hn, I can see that dream coming true.” Hiei winked at his mate. He also slipped a hand under the cover and squeezed the fox’s inner thigh. This made Kurama jump and blush yet again.
“What’s the matter, daddy?” Kaihei asked, titling his head to the side.
“Nothing.” Kurama quickly got up, away from his mate. He sent a glare at the smirking fire demon before he walked over to the bed where his sons were. He embraced Kaihei tightly, but carefully. He didn’t want to hurt the boy further or wake Toushi. His brown haired son had had a rough night too. “I’m so glad your doing better, baby.”
“I’m no baby.” Kaihei complained when the fox released him. By this time, Hiei walked up to them.
“You may not be a baby, Kaihei, but you’ll always be our baby; no matter how old you get.” Kurama smiled, ruffling the boy’s hair.
“Move over, fox, it’s my turn.” Hiei pushed slightly on his mate. Kurama just laughed and moved out of the way. The fire demon embraced his son for a few moments and then stepped back. “I knew you’d be fine, firebug. You’re strong and come from strong blood.”
“Do I have to drink any more blood?” Kaihei asked, wrinkling up his nose. He didn’t like the taste of it and didn’t want anymore.
“No, you’ve had enough.” Kurama assured the kit. There was a knock on the door before it opened and Bulma walked in. The knock though did wake up the other bed occupant.
“Kaihei!!” Toushi squealed, sitting up and hugging his brother. The injured boy winced as pain laced through his side, but didn’t say anything. The demons watched the boys with approving smiles on their faces.
Bulma wondered what was going on, but didn’t say anything. She walked around to the other side of the bed. “How’s our patient doing this morning? He seems to be doing a lot better.”
“He is a lot better.” Kurama said, looking to the woman. The kits were talking in whispers and completely oblivious to the conversation. They were in their own little world as it should be.
“I’m glad, I honestly didn’t think he would make it through the night.” Bulma confessed quietly.
“He wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for Koenma. He had held off on sighing Kaihei’s papers.” Hiei said quietly. He would never admit it, but he would forever be indebted to the Jr. god for doing that for them.
“I was about to change Kaihei’s bandages if you want to watch.” Kurama said, moving around to stand beside the Saiyan woman.
“Yeah, I would love to watch. Saiyans heal faster then humans, but what you described last night suggested that demons heal even faster.” Bulma said as she pulled the supply table up between them.
“Get comfortable, Kaihei.” Kurama got the kit’s attention. Kaihei laid back and shifted a few times until he finally nodded. The fox quickly cut through all of the bandages in the middles of his son’s stomach. He then looked back up to his son. “Try to hold very still, firebug. Any movement could reopen your wound.”
“Yes, sir.” Kaihei nodded.
Toushi moved out of the way, but so he could watch as well, keeping his brother‘s hand held in his. Kurama just shook his head and started to carefully remove each layer of bandages. After several minutes the last layer of gauze was removed. The fox then began to remove the now sticky poultice. He took longer taking off the concoction, he didn’t want to disturb the cut or cause his kit any pain. He actually smiled when he got a good look at the wound.
“See, it’s already healing.” Kurama said, pointing to the wound. The cut wasn’t as deep and there was already new pink skin around the edges.
“Wow, demons do heal a lot faster.” Bulma said, moving closer and inspecting the wound. “How long will it be before he’s completely healed?”
“Probably two or three more days.” Kurama answered as he mixed up a new poultice from the already available ingredients. “He won’t even have a scare after a few months. It will totally fade out.” He liked that the cut on his son was healing quickly.
“No scar?” Bulma was shocked. It was a bad cut, there will most certainly be a scar.
“Kurama is right. Kaihei will have no scar.” Hiei smiled. “It has to do with his demon blood. My mate and I would have to many scars to count if it wasn’t for that healing ability.”
“Oh, demons certainly have many good qualities.” Bulma said quickly.
“Hn, not too many.” Hiei put in. “Most demons are pure evil. The only way you can deal with them is to kill them. I was much the same way before I went to work for Koenma. My fox was also very similar until he was reborn here in Ningenkai. Kurama’s ningen mother changed him and taught him how to love. I learned to love because of my sister and she also helped to change me, but my fox helped that along as well. If all of that hadn’t happened, Kurama and I never would have gotten together and gave our love a chance.”
“I’m glad you two have that chance, you seem like the perfect couple.” Bulma smiled.
“We’re far from perfect!” Kurama laughed as he layered the poultice on his son’s side. “We have quarrels too.”
“But you work them out, don’t you?” Bulma asked.
“Always.” Hiei smirked, glancing to his lover. “If not verbally, then physically.”
“Hiei!” Kurama exclaimed, setting the bowl on the small cart.
“Physically? Do you spar or worst?” Bulma asked, her eyes wide.
“We spar, but it’s in the bedroom.” Hiei replied quickly.
“Hiei, please! Our kits are in the room or did you forget?” Kurama reprimanded, a nice blush across his cheeks. “Plus, there is a lady present too.”
“Please!” Bulma laughed. “What Hiei said is nothing compared to some of the innuendos that are heard around this house. All the men has gotten pretty bad with what they say in front of others, but Trunks and Pan are the worse. Sometimes the stuff that comes out of their mouths is just plain shocking.”
“I’ve known your family only a few days, but Hiei can be quite shocking too.” Kurama said, looking over to his mate.
“Hn, unless you’ve forgotten you can be just as bad as me.” Hiei responded, crossing his arms.
“No, I haven’t forgotten.” Kurama said quickly before looking back to the woman. “I have to agree with my mate; I have my moments too.”
“I suppose we all do.” Bulma smiled as she watched the fox put fresh bandages on his son. “There are times I say something to my mate, Vegeta, just to see what he’ll do to me.”
“Yes, a little teasing never hurt anyone.” Kurama said while he finished with the bandages. Through all the talk, the kits had remained quiet. They had been taught not to interrupt adults. Plus, they had no idea what their parents and the Saiyan woman were talking about, so they didn’t get involved. The fox caught his son’s attention. “How does that feel now?”
“Better, but it still hurts.” Kaihei answered, gingerly touching his side.
“I may have something that will help.” Kurama reached into his hair and pulled out a seed. With a small burst of energy, the seed instantly grew. “Do you remember what ningen plant this is?”
“Is it Agrimony?” Kaihei asked.
“Close, very good, but it’s actually Dong Quai.” Kurama nodded approvingly. “It is a fragrant perennial herb found in China, Korea and Japan. Though it used it for headaches, it can also be used for chronic runny nose, infections, severe pains, toothaches, and gynecologic disorders among others. Other names of Dong Quai are Chinese angelica, dry-kuei, tang-kuei, and women’s ginseng.” He pulled a piece of root off and handed to the kit. “Just chew on it, don’t swallow.”
“Yes, sir.” Kaihei put the root into his mouth and started chewing. He made a face, the taste of it was very bitter.
“Keep chewing.” Kurama instructed, noticing the displeasure on his son’s face.
“Is it that bad?” Hiei asked, lightly teasing the boy.
“UH-HAH!” Kaihei nodded with a frown on his lips. Toushi was outright laughing at his brother’s problem. The fox quickly tore off another piece of root and stuck it into his kit’s laughing mouth. Toushi instantly made a face and went to spit it out, but a hand on his mouth stopped him. He slowly looked up the arm to meet his father’s red eyes.
“You think it’s so funny that your brother is suffering?” Hiei almost growled, but held it in check. “You won’t spit it out until Kaihei spits his out. Do you understand?”
The boy only nodded as the hand came away from his mouth. Now it was Kaihei’s turn to laugh at his brother’s problem and face. Toushi tried glaring at his brother’s, but failed miserably do to the very bitter taste in his mouth. Hiei and Kurama was smiling at the boys’ antics.
Bulma had to cover her mouth to keep from laughing. She didn’t want any of that root in her mouth, though she doubted the fox would do that to her. She looked at her watch and then looked back to the demon family. “Breakfast should be ready in about fifteen minutes. Do you want me to bring the food down to you all or is Kaihei well enough to come into the dining room for breakfast?”
“Do you feel like you can get up, Kaihei?” Kurama asked, a small smile on his lips. Both boys were still making faces at each other, but he figured it had turned into a game for them.
“Yeah, I want to go eat with my friends.” Kaihei grinned, nodding vigorously.
“Well, if your sure.” Kurama smiled, turning back to the woman. “We‘ll come eat in the dining room.”
“That’s great! I’ll go on ahead to help the other ladies.” Bulma replied before hurrying out of the room.
“Is your pain gone, firebug?” Kurama asked, gently ruffling the boy’s hair.
“Yes, it’s a lot better.” Kaihei answered quickly.
“Good.” Kurama said, picking up a small bowl. He held it out in front of the kit. “You can spit the root out now.”
Kaihei just grinned as he finally spit out the bitter root. Toushi looked up to the fire demon hopefully.
“Go ahead, but next time think about what you say or do before you do it.” Hiei warned, inclining his head towards the bowl. Toushi looked completely relieved as he spat the small piece of root into the bowl his dad held in front of him.
“Toushi, run get your brother some clothes and get dressed yourself.” Kurama instructed as he helped Kaihei to sit on the side of the bed.
“Yes, sir.” Toushi said before running from the room.
“He’s being so nice to me.” Kaihei whispered, looking up to his father. “Why?”
“Because he was scared that he might lose you, it was the jolt he needed that none of us could give him.” Kurama answered softly. “As I have said already, he doesn’t hate you, he loves you.”
“I love him too, he’s my brother.” Kaihei smiled.
“Good, because he was the one that killed the demon that hurt you.” Hiei said quickly. “He now has blood on his hands since he wanted to protect you.”
“Oh.” Kaihei whispered again. He wasn’t sure how to take that news. They had always been trained to protect each other and their family, but neither had taken a life before. To hear that Toushi had did it for him, it actually bothered him. He never dreamed Toushi would do that for him, now he must do something for him. The demons remained quiet, letting their son digest this information.
“Here you go.” Toushi said as he ran back into the room. He carried a t-shirt, shorts, and underwear. He ran up to his brother smiling broadly. Hiei just shook his head, helping his son down from the bed. To his surprise, Toushi caught his brother on the other side. Together, they helped the kit from the room and down the hall to the bathroom. Kaihei was very unsteady on his feet and still a little weak. Kurama went to the kitchen to help the ladies with breakfast.
Hiei helped his son to get a sponge bath, making sure the boy’s bandages didn’t get wet. Toushi had refused to leave his brother’s side so he had let him stay in the bathroom with them. The boy had even helped out a great deal. When Kaihei was cleaned up, the fire demon helped his son get dressed. Then he and Toushi helped Kaihei to walk to the dining room. He sat the kit down at the children’s table and not surprisingly his brother sat down beside him.
Hiei shook his head yet again that day. The boys were already far too protective of each other. He didn’t say anything though, he just turned and went into the kitchen to find his mate. “Fox, I’m going to go get cleaned up. Toushi and Kaihei is in the dining room. I suggest when you get a chance you get cleaned up too. You’re looking rough around the edges.”
“Thank you for pointing out how bad I look, Koi.” Kurama was being sarcastic. “I’ll get cleaned up later after I help these ladies with breakfast and get our kits settled.”
Hiei only smirked, turned away, and began walking from the room. He sent his mate a mental image of just what he had in mind. Kurama almost shivered when the image appeared in his head along with the special feelings that were involved in the scene.
“Why don’t you go ahead and get cleaned up.” Pan said quietly after she walked up to the fox. “I’ll keep an eye on Kaihei and Toushi for you. I believe your mate wants you to join him.”
Kurama flushed pink, Bulma had been right; Pan got right to the point and shocked you by saying it out right. “Ummm….I don’t…..”
“Go on, you need to relax especially after yesterday and last night. Let your mate help you to relax.” Pan smirked and offered a wink.
“Thank you.” Kurama whispered as he bowed slightly. He turned and quickly hurried from the room.
“Where’s he going?” Videl asked as she and the other ladies walked up to Pan.
“Yeah, he seems to be in a hurry.” Bra said, looking through the doorway.
“I’d say he is.” Pan smiled. “He’s going to find his mate and get cleaned up.”
“Enough said.” Bulma laughed, walking back to the stove she was cooking on.
“Well, let’s not expect him or Hiei for awhile.” Chi Chi said with a knowing smile on her lips. All the ladies nodded and continued to fix breakfast.
“Daddy, what’s wrong?” Kaihei asked, startled when he father came hurrying through the dining room.
“Nothing, Kaihei.” Kurama smiled, stopping in front of his sons. “I’m just going to take a shower. You both listen to the Saiyan ladies. They’re going to watch you boys for a little while. Just ask any of them if you need anything.”
“Yes, sir.” Toushi and Kaihei answered together.
“Good boys.” Kurama smiled before turning and walking quickly from the room. He took the stairs two at a time and then sprinted down the hallway towards his room. He stopped at the door and caught his breath. He then opened the door and walked in. He closed the door behind him and locked it for good measure. The fox walked further into the room and saw the fire demon sitting on the bed.
“What took you so long to get here?” Hiei asked, smile in place.
“I wasn’t even going to come, but Pan talked me into it.” Kurama answered, sensually walking towards his mate. He began unbuttoning his shirt and smiled when the fire demon licked his lips. A small chuckle escaped the fox’s mouth, that mental picture that Hiei had sent him in the kitchen was definitely going to happen.
