ENEMY AMONG US
Chapter 6
Kurama was just arriving at his apartment with Sakura when his cell phone rang. Glancing at the screen, Kurama didn’t recognize the number. “Minamino.”
On the other end of the phone was his stepfather. “Shuuichi, can you come to the hospital? Your mother would like you to be with her. Also, as you’re the one that’s been with her since this started, the doctors have some questions they’d like to ask you.”
Relieved to be postponing his confrontation with Sakura, Kurama stopped and glanced at him. “Of course Father. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”
When Kurama hung up, Sakura growled. “You’re not going anywhere until you’ve satisfied my needs! Now get your ass in that apartment!”
Kurama didn’t move. “This situation is of your doing Sakura. If you hadn’t poisoned my mother then I wouldn’t need to go to the hospital. As for your needs, take care of them yourself.”
When Kurama would have walked away, Sakura grabbed his arm. “Don’t you think you should earn Shiori’s next fix before you go?”
Pulling his arm away, Kurama replied calmly. “No, I don’t. The doctors will see to it that she’s kept comfortable for now.”
Without another word, Kurama walked away. Behind him, he could hear Sakura’s frustrated ranting, but chose to ignore him. He was just grateful that Sakura didn’t appear to be following him. As he neared the hospital, Yusuke fell into step beside him. “I’m glad you decided to come to the hospital instead of going with that psycho. Hiei was sure pissed when I told him what you wanted. He made me stay and keep an eye on you.”
Kurama didn’t look at Yusuke for fear of giving himself away. He’d expected Yusuke to return to Keiko, leaving him alone to deal with Sakura. “Thank you Yusuke, but you didn’t need to stay. You should be with Keiko right now.”
Nudging his shoulder into Kurama’s, Yusuke scoffed. “Yukina’s taking good care of Keiko, and Kuwabara’s guarding them both, so I’m all yours Fox-Boy. Now, let’s go find Hiei and check on your mom.”
Entering the hospital, they were directed to the fourth floor. They had no sooner exited the elevator when Hiei appeared before them. The fire demon was about to speak when his nose twitched, his eyes narrowed and he began to growl menacingly. Knowing that Hiei had smelled the dried blood on his back, Kurama cut him off. “Not now Hiei. I need to see my mother.”
For the second time in the last hour, Kurama’s arm was grabbed when he would have walked away. “You will not be alone with him again Kurama!”
Pulling his arm away, Kurama growled back. “I’ll handle this any way I see fit Hiei! And you will not interfere!”
When Hiei growled and reached for Kurama again, Yusuke stepped between them. “Hey guys, what the hell?”
Ignoring them both, Kurama went into his mother’s room. Though Hiei’s voice was low, Yusuke couldn’t miss how angry he was. “Can’t you smell Kurama’s blood Detective? That bastard hurt my fox!”
Yusuke stiffened. “Damn it! Why didn’t he say something? I smelled the blood but just thought it was because we’re in a hospital.”
Not knowing what else to do, Yusuke poked his head through the open door of Shiori’s room. Seeing him, Shiori smiled and waved him in. Yusuke grabbed Hiei’s sleeve and pulled him into the room. “How are you feeling Shiori?”
Kurama moved aside so she could see his friends better. “I’ll be fine now that Shuuichi’s here with me. He always seems to know how to make things better. It was so nice of you boys to come with him.”
Everyone was surprised, but no one more than Kurama, when Hiei spoke softly. “Of course we came Shiori. Anything, or anyone important to Kurama, is important to us… Especially to me.”
Kurama’s eyes widened disbelievingly. Shiori smiled. “Oh Hiei, that’s so sweet. I’m glad my son has someone as loyal as you as his best friend.”
Blushing, Hiei was saved from having to respond when Kazuya Hatanaka came in with the doctor. “Ah good, Dr. Ozaki, this is our son Shuuichi Minamino. Shuuichi, Dr. Ozaki wanted to ask you a few questions.”
Nodding, Kurama stood and left the room with Dr. Ozaki. When they were gone, Shiori patted the place on the bed that Kurama had just vacated. “Hiei dear, come sit with me.”
With a nervous glance at Yusuke, Hiei did as she requested. “Hiei. I’m glad we got this opportunity to talk again. I hesitated to say anything the other day, but now, in light of my illness, I’ve decided to speak my mind. I know you boys try to hide things from me, but the feelings you and Shuuichi have for each other are one thing you didn’t hide very well. May I ask if your being here and your recent actions mean that you’d like to try and fix things between you and my son?”
Ruby eyes widened in surprise at her perceptiveness. After glancing around at Yusuke and Kazuya, Hiei sighed and nodded. “Yes Shiori, I would.”
Shiori’s smile widened. “I’m so glad Hiei. Shuuichi has missed you terribly. Now I think I’ve known you long enough to tell you that you’ll have to try harder this time. You need to spend more time with him than you did before. Believe me, he’s worth the effort.”
Hiei couldn’t hide the little smile he gave her. “I know he is Shiori, and I’ve already made changes to fix a lot of what I did wrong before.”
Reaching out, Shiori patted his hand. “I’m glad to hear it. Now, don’t worry about that boy Sakura. He’s nice and all, but Shuuichi doesn’t care for him the same way cares for you. I can see it in his eyes.”
They all turned their heads at a voice from the doorway. “Mother, I don’t think you need to worry about Sakura. He and I had a disagreement a few days ago and he’ll be gone soon.”
Going to the bed, Kurama leaned over to kiss Shiori’s cheek. “I’m sorry Mother, Hiei, Yusuke and I have to get going. I’ll call you as soon as I can.”
Reluctantly, Shiori bid them all goodbye. Following Kurama out to the waiting room, Hiei and Yusuke were surprised to see another man there, not Dr. Ozaki. “Hiei, Yusuke this is Detective Shu. He’s investigating my mother’s poisoning. Detective, these are my friends.”
Both Hiei and Yusuke looked at Kurama when Detective Shu nodded. “Gentlemen. Can I get your names and see some ID?”
When Kurama gave a little gasp and would have protested, Hiei reached out, placing a hand on his arm. When Kurama looked at him he saw Hiei taking something out of his pocket. “My name is Hiei Jagonshi.”
Both Kurama and Yusuke looked surprised when Hiei handed the detective a drivers license. With a smirk, Yusuke did the same. “I’m Yusuke Urameshi.”
The detective copied down the information from their ID. As he handed them back he looked at Hiei. “I see you and Mr. Minamino have the same address.”
Holding the man’s gaze, Hiei answered. “I’m his boyfriend.”
Only Hiei’s acute hearing caught Kurama’s intake of breath. Not wanting to cause a scene, Kurama didn’t contradict him. “Detective, I’ll agree to come answer your questions, and allow you to search my apartment, on one condition. I would like Hiei present during the search to insure that my interests are protected.”
Kurama could feel the subtle rise in Hiei’s temperature. It was Yusuke however that lost his temper. “Wait a damn minute! You’re taking him in to question him about his mother being poisoned? Have you lost your mind? This man would die before he’d allow anything to happen to Shiori! And you have no right to search his apartment! You want to search it? Get a damn search warrant!”
Moving between his friends and the detective, Kurama tried to calm Yusuke down. “Yusuke, it’s alright. I have nothing to hide. I just want to go get this over with so I can get back to my mother. Detective, can I have a word with my friends before we go?”
With only a brief hesitation, the detective left them alone. “Yusuke, can you stay with my mother?”
Yusuke nodded. “Sure Kurama. Call me if you have any problems.”
Wanting to give them a moment alone, Yusuke walked away. Kurama turned, but before he could speak, he was pulled into Hiei’s arms. “Don’t worry Kurama, I’ll use the jagon to make sure they don’t see anything they shouldn’t.”
Momentarily giving in to the offered comfort, Kurama sighed. “Thank you Hiei. After they leave, I’d like you to come back here so Yusuke can get back to Keiko.”
When Hiei tried to run a hand up his back, Kurama flinched. Swearing under his breath, Hiei buried his hand in Kurama’s hair. “I’m sorry Kurama. Are you alright?”
Kurama nodded. “I’ll be fine Hiei, they’re just scratches. I’ve already treated them, so they should be gone soon.”
Wanting to soothe his fox, Hiei tried to kiss him. When Kurama would have turned away, Hiei’s fingers tightened in his hair. It didn’t take much persuasion for Kurama to finally allow the kiss. Their lips had barely touch however when Detective Shu interrupted them. “Let’s go Minamino. Jagonshi, Detective Hobb will meet you at the apartment in one hour.”
Glaring at the detective, Hiei reluctantly released Kurama and walked away. When Hiei was out of sight, Kurama turned to the detective. “I’m ready.”
Green eyes widened when the Detective Shu pulled out a pair of handcuffs. “I’m sorry Mr. Minamino, I’m afraid they’re required on all suspects.”
Grateful that his mother couldn’t see him, Kurama held out his hands. Just as the cuffs clicked into place, Kazuya came into the waiting room. “Detective, what do you think you’re doing to my son?”
Detective Shu sighed. “He’s going in for questioning Mr. Hatanaka. The handcuffs are just a formality.”
Kurama had never seen his stepfather so angry. “Then I’m going with him.”
Calmly, Kurama tried to reassure him. “Father, it’s alright, I’m going voluntarily. You should stay with mother. I’ll call you as soon as I’m finished.”
Reluctantly, Kazuya relented. “Shuuichi, I’m calling my attorney. You are not to answer a single question until he arrives. Is that clear?”
Kurama sighed. “Yes Father. Please don’t say anything to Mother. Everything will be fine.”
As Kurama was lead away, Kazuya took out his cell phone. Once they were downstairs, Kurama was taken to a black sedan. As he was about to get in, something caught his eye. Sakura was across the street leaning against a building. When he saw Kurama in the handcuffs he began to laugh.
When Kurama was seated in the car, Sakura started to walk away but suddenly tripped and fell face first onto the sidewalk. Twisting around, Sakura was surprised to see the shrubs that grew next to the building had reached out and grabbed his ankles. Looking up, he saw Kurama’s smirk as the car drove past.
