ENEMY AMONG US
Chapter 8

Hearing the zipper of Sakura�s pants, Kurama tried again to get away only to feel the lash of the whip strike his bare ass. Bracing himself for Sakura�s assault, Kurama tried to close his mind to what was to come.
Kurama�s survival instinct however was very strong. Even though he had vowed years ago to live his life as a human, the Youko in him was fighting to get out and take revenge on his attacker. Feeling Sakura grab his hip, the Youko won the fight. Raising his spirit energy, Kurama couldn�t wait to see Sakura�s face when he faced him in his full demon form.
Instead of transforming however, Kurama felt only mind numbing pain, causing him cry out and fall to the floor. Jerking him back up by the hair, Sakura laughed. �Not even that pathetic Youko whore can�t help you now Kurama. I�ll make my Karasu proud by torturing you and fu��
When Sakura�s hands suddenly released him, Kurama turned in time to see the stunned expression on the demon�s face as he hit the wall. Before him stood Hiei with his katana drawn. There was a look of pure terror in his eyes as Hiei growled. �NO ONE TOUCHES MY FOX AND LIVES!�
Kurama�s foggy mind couldn�t count the number of slices the katana made. He couldn�t help but smile at the comical expression on Sakura�s face as he looked down in time to see his own bloody erection fall away from his body. A second later, the rest of Sakura�s body fell to the ground in a heap of parts.
Exhausted, Kurama would have sagged to the ground but, dropping his katana, Hiei caught him and drew him into his arms. With his good arm, Kurama clung to Hiei. �Damn it Kurama! What the hell were you thinking facing him alone?�
As Hiei cradled Kurama, Yusuke came rushing through the front door. Seeing Kurama safe in Hiei�s arms and Sakura literally in pieces, Yusuke shook his head as he closed the door. �Damn it Hiei! You could have saved me a hit or two.�
Behind him there was an unexpected knock on the door. Careful not to let whoever was there see into the apartment, Yusuke cracked the door open. A middle aged man with glasses stood there. �What�s going on in there? Is Shuuichi alright?�
After a quick glance over his shoulder to see Kurama mouth that the man was his neighbor, Yusuke smiled at him. �Yeah, everything�s fine. Shuuichi and his boyfriend were just having some kinky sex. I�ll tell them to keep it down.�
The man gaped at Yusuke as the door was shut in his face. With a grin, Yusuke turned to see Kurama glaring at him. �Yusuke!�
Hiei didn�t allow Kurama to finish scolding Yusuke. �Not now Kurama, we have to get these wounds treated. Fox� did he rape you?�
Understanding Hiei�s concern, Kurama shook his head. �No Hiei. As usual, your timing was perfect.�
Needing to vent some of his anger, Hiei directed it towards Sakura�s remains. What was left was a charred pile of ash. �If my timing were so damn perfect I would have arrived before you became a bloody mess! Yusuke, can you clean that up while I see to Kurama?�
As Hiei picked Kurama up in his arms, Yusuke nodded. �Sure thing Hiei. Let me know if you need help.�
Without answering, Hiei carried Kurama into the bathroom. Gently setting Kurama on his feet, Hiei turned on the water in the tub. Tossing his cloak aside, Hiei tore away what remained of Kurama�s clothes. Neither spoke as Hiei bathed Kurama, carefully cleaning each wound.
When he went to wash Kurama�s hair, Hiei found something tangled in it. Kurama winced as Hiei tugged at his hair. �Ouch Hiei, that hurts.�
Trying to be more gentle, Hiei was finally able to remove a small metal clip from Kurama�s hair. Hiei then held it out where Kurama could see it. �No wonder he was able to beat you, it�s a power limiter Fox.�
Hiei tossed it into the far corner when he heard Kurama whisper. �That must be why my plants were so weak, and why I couldn�t change to my Youko form. He must have had it in his hand when he grabbed my hair.�
Secretly, Hiei was glad to hear that it was not pride or that stupid vow that prevented the Youko from killing Sakura. Not wanting to upset his fox, Hiei kept his thoughts to himself as he washed Kurama�s hair. When he was satisfied that Kurama was clean and well rinsed, Hiei lifted the redhead from the tub and dried him with his energy. Carefully, Hiei also brushed and dried his long red hair.
When Hiei took out the first aid kit, Kurama simply pointed to what was needed. Deftly, Hiei treated and bandaged each wound, feeding his ki into them to speed up the healing. Through all of this, Kurama never said a word.
When he finished he drew Kurama into the bedroom and helped him into a pair of loose sweat pants and a baggy t-shirt. Seeing that Kurama was trembling, Hiei carefully slipped the redhead�s arms into the matching sweat jacket as well. When he finished zipping the jacket, Hiei noticed Kurama was still trembling. �Kurama?�
Wide green eyes turned to Hiei as if seeing him for the first time. �I�m alright, Hiei. It�s just that the adrenalin rush is over and everything is sinking in.�
Mindful of Kurama�s wounds, Hiei drew him into his arms. �It�s over Kurama. Everything�s going to be alright.�
Leaning heavily on Hiei, Kurama closed his eyes and whispered sadly. �No Hiei, it�s not. I never got the antidote from him.�
Pulling back, Hiei smirked before giving Kurama a gentle kiss. �Do you really think I would let Shiori and Keiko die so easily?�
Hiei smirked again as big green eyes blinked at him several times. �Hiei, please tell me you have it!�
Hiei shook his head. �No my Fox, but you do.�
Taking Kurama by the hand, Hiei lead him back to the living room. �I was at the hospital when I felt your energy begin to spike. I was almost here when his energy suddenly surged. I knew I was going to kill him, antidote or no antidote, so I used the jagon on him as I ran. He was too caught up in your fight to even notice I�d invaded his mind.�
Moving from Kurama�s side, Hiei picked up small green vase with a rose bud in it. �Did he give you this?�
Kurama frowned and nodded. Going to the kitchen, Hiei removed the rose and poured the water in the sink. Turning the vase over, Hiei removed what looked like a small plug. Holding the vase out, Kurama could now see that a green liquid inside the hollow vase is what gave it it�s coloring. After smelling the liquid, Kurama quickly dipped his pinky into it and tasted it before Hiei could stop him.
As Hiei growled at him, Kurama�s face broke into a huge smile and he threw himself into the fire demon�s arms. �Hiei! It�s the antidote!�
Having silently watched all of this, Yusuke suddenly whooped for joy. �That sick bastard probably had quite a laugh knowing the antidote was right here under your nose the whole time.�
Going to the cupboard, Kurama took out three small jars with lids. Carefully he divided up the antidote and sealed the jars. Turning to Hiei, Kurama held out one of the jars. �Hiei, will you please get this to the hospital and give it to my mother? If I try, they�ll think I�m poisoning her. Wait with her until you know it�s working. As soon as we know it�s safe, we�ll give it to Keiko.�
Hiei nodded. �I�ll meet you both at the temple. While you wait for me, Yukina can heal your wounds.�
After retrieving his cloak from the bathroom and his katana from the floor, Hiei looked at Yusuke. �I�m trusting you to take care of my fox Detective.�
Before Kurama could protest, Hiei gave him a quick kiss and flitted away. Arriving at the hospital, Hiei decided to bypass the doctors and nurses by using the window. Flitting from ledge to ledge, Hiei maneuvered himself to Shiori�s window. A quick slice with his katana and he slipped through the screen and into the room.
With Kazuya at her side, Shiori looked tired as she lay in her bed. Seeing him suddenly appear by the window, Shiori gasped. �Hiei! I see my son�s bedroom isn�t the only window you like to sneak in.�
With a smirk, Hiei went to close the door before going to her bedside. �Shiori, Kurama sent me with something to make you better. I need you to drink it.�
Holding out the jar containing the green liquid, Hiei waited to see their reaction. Standing, Kazuya eyed the jar suspiciously. �Hiei, how do we know that it won�t make her worse?�
Looking between them, Hiei sighed. �We don�t, but I�m asking you to trust Kurama�s judgment and take the antidote.�
When Kazuya would have spoken, Shiori reached out and took his hand. �It�s alright Darling. I trust my son, and I know that he has been doing everything in his power to make me better.�
Moving forward, Hiei handed her the jar. Holding it, Shiori looked at Hiei. �This is one of those secrets that the two of you aren�t going to tell me about, isn�t it?�
Solemnly, Hiei nodded. �Yes Shiori, it is.�
Shiori sighed. �Is Shuuichi alright?�
Holding her gaze, Hiei nodded again. �He is now.�
Without further question, Shiori removed the top and drank the antidote. With a grimace, Shiori coughed. �That was unpleasant.�
Moving near the window, Hiei leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. �Now we wait.�
XXXXX
After Hiei left the apartment, Kurama turned and held out one of the jars to Yusuke. Not even needing an explanation, Yusuke held up his hands, refusing to take it. �Oh no you don�t Fox-Boy. Hiei will shish kabob me if I go to the temple without you. If Yukina hasn�t treated those wounds by the time he gets there, we�ll both be in trouble.�
Taking one of Yusuke�s hands, Kurama firmly placed the small jar in his palm. Going to the living room, he found the remains of his clothes. Taking his wallet and cell phone, Kurama tucked them into the pocket of his sweat jacket. �Yusuke, I have to see that my mother is alright. It may take an hour or more for the antidote to work, so Hiei will still be at the hospital when I get there. I�ll be the one to bear the brunt of his anger, not you. You get to the temple and I�ll call the moment we know if it�s safe to give Keiko the antidote.�
Reluctantly, Yusuke sighed. Kurama knew that he�d gotten his way when Yusuke went and held the door open for him. Knowing that Hiei had trusted his safety to Yusuke, Kurama didn�t question it when his friend followed him in the direction of the hospital. Running at slower than their usual pace due to Kurama�s injuries, Yusuke turned to look at him. �I don�t believe you man. You�re going to give Shiori an untested antidote to an unknown poison.�
With a worried look, Kurama nodded. �I don�t have a lot of choice Yusuke. I didn�t tell any of you, but my copy of the partial antidote wasn�t complete. Two of the ingredients I found in it are rare, and only found region of Makai that it would have taken us weeks to get to. Sakura said the poison would kill in ten days. I substituted similar plants, but wasn�t sure how long my fake would keep away their symptoms. Unless I wanted to become Sakura�s sex toy, I had to take a chance and hope the fake would work.�
Shaking his head, Yusuke laughed. �I always knew you were a genius.�
When they arrived at the hospital, Kurama didn�t go right inside. �Yusuke, I�ll be fine from here. You get to the temple so you�re ready to give Keiko the antidote the minute I call.�
Yusuke nodded but didn�t move. �Alright Kurama, but I�m not moving until you�re safely inside. And you have to promise that the minute the antidote works you�ll let Hiei bring you straight to the temple.�
Kurama laughed. �That will be an easy promise since Hiei will probably drag me there by my hair if I try to resist.�
Laughing, Yusuke watched Kurama go into the hospital before heading for the temple. Inside, Kurama quickly made his way to the fourth floor. Seeing a hospital guard posted outside his mother�s room, Kurama�s heart sank. The guard was just about to speak to him when a nurse came out of the room. Through the now open door, Kurama knew Hiei felt him a approach when he heard the fire demon growl from inside the room. �Damn you Fox!�
The guard ignored Kurama and turned to Hiei. �How the hell did you get in there?�
Not bothering to answer, Hiei allowed the jagon to glow briefly. Without another word the guard moved back to his post and acted as if he didn�t see either of them. Kurama wasn�t surprised when Hiei grabbed his arm and dragged him into Shiori�s room, closing the door behind them. �Kurama, what the hell were you thinking? You were supposed to go straight to Yukina to have your wo��
With his free hand, Kurama gently placed his fingers over Hiei�s lips to silence him. �It�s alright Hiei. I�ll let you take me to see Yukina just as soon as Mother is better. Please Hiei.�
Unable to resist his fox�s soft request, Hiei grunted. �Hn.�
With a smile, Kurama�s fingers moved from Hiei�s lips to caress his cheek. �Thank you Fire-Fly.�
Shyly, Kurama looked over at his mother to see her beaming happily at them both. With a glance at Hiei and his stepfather, Kurama moved to sit at Shiori�s side. �Mother, how do you feel?�
Shiori gave him a little shrug. �It�s heard to tell with all the drugs they�ve been giving me, but I think I�m feeling better. Both your tea and their medicines have only dulled the headache, but now I think it�s gone.�
With a huge smile, Kurama reached out to hug her. Unfortunately he forgot about his wounds and Shiori didn�t miss his wince of pain. �Shuuichi! Oh my god, you�re hurt!�
Hiei immediately rushed forward and Kazuya�s eyes grew wide with concern. �Everyone please, I�m alright. Mother, Hiei has already cleaned and bandaged my wounds and he�s taking me to see Yukina as soon as we leave here.�
With a worried glance at her husband, Shiori wasn�t convinced. �Shuuichi, I know you believe in your herbs and Yukina�s healing abilities but wouldn�t it be better to have one of the doctors here have a look at you?�
From behind Kurama, Hiei spoke up. �Shiori, this is one of those secrets we talked about. The doctors here would have too many questions that we couldn�t answer. Trust me, Kurama will be alright.�
Watching Hiei gently stroke Kurama�s hair, Shiori sighed. �Alright, but couldn�t you at least tell us what happened?�
Briefly glancing over his shoulder at Hiei, Kurama shook his head. �Mother, if you don�t know anything, then you�ll never have to lie about it.�
Shiori�s worried gaze met his a moment before she sighed. �Just tell me one thing. It was Sakura that poisoned me wasn�t it?�
There was a long pause as Kurama looked at her sadly. �I am so sorry he hurt you Mother. I�ve done so many things in my life� I should have known better than to trust��
Using his fingers to massage Kurama�s neck, Hiei tried to calm his fox as he looked at Shiori. �You don�t have to worry Shiori. He�s gone and he won�t ever hurt you or my fox again.�
Long ago Shiori had learned to accept that Hiei and her son�s other friends called him Kurama. Hearing Hiei refer to him as his fox however was new. �Your fox Hiei?�
Under his fingers, Hiei felt Kurama stiffen. �Yes Shiori, Kurama has always been my fox. It�s a form of endearment. Foxes are smart, cunning and in Kurama�s case, very beautiful.�
Startled green eyes looked up at Hiei. After a moment Kurama looked away embarrassed. �I�d better call Yusuke and tell him the antidote is safe.�
As Kurama moved away to call Yusuke, Kazuya looked at Hiei. �Hiei, how many other people did that fiend poison?�
Having heard the question, Kurama nodded that it was okay for Hiei to answer. �After Shiori was poisoned, Kurama figured out his plan and we were able to keep it to just her and Keiko. Yusuke will give her the antidote now that we know it�s safe.�
When Kurama returned to the bed, he looked at Shiori. �Mother, you were poisoned two days before Keiko. Sakura said it would be deadly in ten days. I had to take the chance and give you the antidote first.�
Reaching out, Shiori took his hand. �Oh Shuuichi, I know that must have been a hard decision for you to make. Of course you made the right choice. Keiko is so young. If something had gone wrong you still would have had time to save her.�
Kurama squeezed her hand. �For me, the only acceptable answer was to save you both.�
Feeling Kurama�s spirit energy was getting weaker, Hiei put an end to their visit. �Time�s up Kurama. I�m taking you to Yukina now whether you�re ready or not.�
Giving him a tired smile, Kurama nodded. �I�m ready Hiei. Mother, Father, I�ll call you later.�
After their goodbyes were said, Kurama and Hiei left the hospital. Barely a block down the street, Hiei came to a stop. �Kurama, your energy is getting weaker. The faster we get to the temple the sooner Yukina can heal you, but I�m afraid of hurting you by carrying you.�
As much as he hated to admit Hiei was right, Kurama knew he was. After thinking a minute, Kurama smiled. �A few years ago this might not have worked, but now that you�ve grown so much, I think it will. How about a piggy back ride? That shouldn�t hurt me if we�re careful of my shoulder.�
After considering Kurama�s suggestion, Hiei nodded. Turning around, Hiei bent his knees and waited for Kurama to climb on. Keeping his left arm close to him, Kurama wrapped his right arm securely around Hiei�s neck. When he wrapped his legs around Hiei�s waist, Kurama gave a little laugh. �I haven�t had a piggy back ride since I was a little boy.�
Grabbing Kurama�s legs firmly, Hiei smirked over his shoulders. �You�ll never hear me complain about having your long, sexy legs wrapped around my waist.�
As Hiei carefully increased his speed until he was flitting through town, Kurama�s laughter rang in his ears. By the time they reached the outskirt of town, Kurama�s face was nuzzled against Hiei�s neck. It wasn�t long until they arrived at the temple. Yusuke and Kuwabara were on the porch waiting for them. Both men grinned, but neither dared to comment on the cute sight of Hiei giving Kurama a piggy back ride.
Walking past them, Hiei went straight to his room and gently set Kurama down. Beside the bed, Hiei saw that Yukina had already laid out water, scissors and towels. Yusuke must have told her about his wounds. Going to the door, Hiei paused to speak to his sister, before closing it. �Give us a minute Yukina.�
Tossing his cloak aside, Hiei carefully helped Kurama remove his clothes. Once he was naked, Hiei pulled back the covers and helped Kurama lay on his right side. Grabbing the sheet, Hiei pulled it up to Kurama�s waist, then he brushed the hair away from his wounded left shoulder. Hiei then leaned down and gently kissed Kurama�s cheek.
Green eyes looked up at him before Hiei went to open the door. Yukina was right there and didn�t wait to be invited in before going to Kurama�s side. Giving him a reassuring smile, Yukina picked up the scissors and began cutting away his bandages. �Hiei, you did a wonderful job dressing these wounds. They�re nice and clean too, so it should be easy to heal them.�
The water and towels were used to clean away the dried blood and to free any wound that had dried and stuck to the bandages. Starting with his shoulder, Yukina exposed each wound and meticulously healed them. An hour later, Kurama sighed feeling the sting of the last wound fade under Yukina�s gentle touch. �Thank you Yukina. I feel so much better.�
Smiling at him, Yukina gathered her things. �You�re welcome Kurama. Now get some rest, you should be good as new in the morning.�
After closing the door behind her, Hiei growled when he turned to see Kurama climbing out of bed. �What the hell do you think you�re doing?�
Naked, Kurama went to the closet to look for something to wear. �I need to see Keiko. I need to know that she�s alright.�
At the near desperation in Kurama�s voice, Hiei relented. Reaching past him, Hiei found a robe and helped Kurama into it. �Alright Fox, but you have two minutes then I want you back in that bed.�
Nodding, Kurama smiled as Hiei placed a pair of slippers in front of him. Stepping into them, he left the room with Hiei right behind him. Down the hall, Kurama saw Yusuke come out of one of the other bedrooms. �May I see Keiko?�
Turning to see if his wife objected, Yusuke finally nodded and stepped away from the door. �Sure Kurama, she�s right in there.�
Going into the room, Kurama saw Keiko sitting up in bed smiling at him. �Oh Kurama, I�m so glad you�re alright. When Yusuke said how bad you were injured, I was so worried.�
Surprised to hear that she had been worried about him, Kurama paused a moment before giving her a deep bow. �Keiko, I am so sorry that this happened to you. I never should have trusted a stranger, especially a demon, to get so close to the people I care about.�
When she reached out to him, Kurama took her hand and allowed himself to be pulled forward until he sat on the edge of the bed. �Kurama, this wasn�t your fault. Let�s just be grateful that no permanent harm was done to any of us.�
Smiling back at her, Kurama nodded. �You�re right, of course. Now how do you feel? Is the antidote working yet?�
Keiko nodded. �It�s working fine Kurama. I�m back to Yusuke being my only headache.�
When everyone laughed, Kurama turned to see all of his friends standing just inside the door. Kuwabara slapped Yusuke on the back. �That was a good one Keiko.�
Making a fist, Yusuke shook it in Kuwabara�s face. �If my wife wasn�t sick, I�d give you a good one.�
Again laughter filled the room. Hiei was the first to move. �Alright Kurama, your two minutes are up.�
With a grin, Kurama dutifully stood up. �Yes Mother, you can tuck me in bed now.�
The next laugh was cut off when Hiei growled. �Fools!�
Grabbing Kurama�s hand, Hiei pulled him out of the room. Back in his room, Hiei closed the door then lead Kurama to the bed. Not waiting for Kurama to do it, Hiei pushed the robe from his shoulders then waited for him to crawl into bed. When Kurama was settled under the covers, Hiei reached up to turn out the light. As the room went dark, a soft voice whispered from the bed. �Hiei, I know I have no right to ask, but please don�t leave me tonight.�
In the moonlight streaming in the window, Hiei leaned down to brush the hair from Kurama�s brow. �I�m not going anywhere Kurama. I�ll be right over there, watching over you while you sleep.�
Reaching up, Kurama grabbed the front of Hiei�s shirt and pulled him closer. �Not over there Hiei, I want you here in the bed, holding me like you used to do.�
With a sigh, Hiei gently removed Kurama�s fingers from his shirt. There was a brief rustle by the bed before the covers were drawn back and Hiei�s warm, naked body climbed in beside Kurama. As Hiei drew Kurama into his arms, he whispered back. �Is this what you want my beautiful Fox?�
Kurama whimpered as Hiei�s strong arms and warm ki surrounded him. �Please Hiei, help me erase the memory of his scent and his touch.�
Knowing what Kurama was asking, Hiei hesitated. �As much as I want you Kurama, I won�t take advantage of you while you�re vulnerable like this.�
Kurama tucked his face against Hiei�s neck. With a sigh, Hiei thought Kurama was going to sleep. Then a warm tongue licking his neck told him that Kurama hadn�t given up. �Hiei, it�s not taking advantage if I�m asking. I�ll beg if I have to. Please Fire-Fly, I want you to make love to me. I need you so much.�
