Chapter 7: Robbery on Main Street

After the Koaru incident things went downhill for the struggling gang. Koaru, as per usual, still stalked Hiei to his wit's end, more “gifts” from their schoolmates ended up in their lockers, some were addresses to gay bars or other people's houses, and without Hiei's added job, bills were piling up on the table that they had no way to pay.

The worst was Hiei and Yukina's hospital bills for their mother. Shiori had helped them a lot during the years that Hina had been in treatment, and now without her to help it was a hassle just to scrounge up the money they needed for Hina to stay much less the cost of the medicine. The bill was expensive and they couldn't figure out how to pay for it.

“The whole thing's a bust now,” growled Hiei. They were at Yukina's apartment for their weekly visit. Yusuke and Kuwabara were playing poker with him and Kurama as Keiko and Yukina made supper, joining the game every few rounds.

“Don't say that, Hiei,” said Kurama laying down a couple of blue chips. “We'll find a way.” He put in some red chips.

“Betting pretty high, Kurama,” said Kuwabara.

“I have a feeling in this hand,” said the redhead.

“Well, I see your two hundred and raise you another hundred,” said Yusuke.

“Damn, I fold,” said Kuwabara putting his hand down.

“I call,” said Hiei putting in the hundred Yusuke betted.

“Three Jacks,” said Yusuke proudly. Kurama whistled as Hiei grunted.

“That beats me,” said Kurama putting down two eights and aces.

“Not me,” said Hiei and showed them three kings. Yusuke just about fell out of his chair.

“Nani yo!” he squealed.

“Whoa! Where'd you get that!” asked Kuwabara.

“Easy. I drew it,” said Hiei and collected the chips.

“No fair,” growled Yusuke and that was when the girls called dinner. They discussed what they'd do to help Hina with her treatments and each had different ideas. Yusuke and Kuwabara even suggested in giving them some of their pays, but their wages were meager as it was that they could barely pay their rent.

“How about a school's fund,” suggested Yukina.

“What?” asked Hiei.

“We ask the head of the school to let us have a donation from the students and help pay for Okaasan's treatments.”

“No,” said Hiei immediately. “Absolutely not.”

“Why not?” asked Yusuke.

“I will not have any charity from those bastards,” growled Hiei.

“The school or the students,” asked Kuwabara.

“Both.”

“But, Hiei, think about your mother,” pleaded Kurama.

“I am, I'm thinking of not suing the doctors for malpractice!”

“Oniisan! Stop this!” said Yukina, almost yelling the words out of her mouth. Everyone at the table looked at her but she looked straight at her brother, stray tears beginning to form around her eyes. “Our kaasan's dying and all you can think about is your pride! How can you be so inconsiderate? She sacrificed half her life just to keep us fed, and we sacrificed half our lives just to keep her alive, and now that we're this close you want to give up? That's not the aniki I know. He would not give up, even if it meant taking some money from other just to pay for the treatment. I don't want to lose our mother. I don't want to lose our family. We've all we got.”

Hiei hung his head and nodded. Much as he hate to admit it, she was right. They couldn't get the money in time for the next opening if they didn't take donations from other students, and he knows it.

“All right,” he said. “You win.”

Yukina smiled.

“I should have stopped it.”

“Someone got hurt?”

“Yeah, someone very close to all of us.”

“You know, we can stop if you don't feel up to it.”

“No, if I stop, I might not be able to start again.”

“All right. Continue if you wish.”

“Sure.”

The next day the they asked their administrator if they could do the funds for Hina's operation, actually, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko and Yukina asked, Hiei and Kurama waited outside the door. They didn't think it would be a good idea for the two lovers to ask for the fund raising project with what was going around the campus currently, and both agreed, through Hiei did it reluctantly.

“I hate all this waiting,” growled Hiei. He was currently sitting on the floor across from the door since there were no chairs. Kurama was standing next to him with a leg propped on the wall and both of his hands in his pockets.

“I don't either, koi, but currently we don't have a choice,” said the redhead. He gave a soft smile down at the raven head boy.

“Feels like they've been in there for hours.”

“Actually it's only been a half hour.”

“Think they'll get permission?”

No sooner did Hiei say those words when a loud roar erupted from behind the administrator's office door and both looked up at it. Another yell sounded before a loud smacking sound came after it and silence.

“The first one sounded like Kuwabara,” said Kurama.

“And the second one was obviously Yusuke,” said Hiei. “Keiko made that slapping sound.”

“Indeed.”

Five minutes later the rest of the gang walked out of the office with grim looks on their face. Hiei stood up from his position on the floor and looked straight at them.

“Well?” he asked.

“Did we get it,” asked Kurama.

“Well, the bad news was it took Yusuke a bruised hand to figure out the desk was made of mahogany,” said Keiko.

“And the good news,” asked Kurama.

“The dead lines in three weeks!” said Yukina with a now happy face. Kurama and Hiei smiled happily and they immediately started on plans for the funds.

A few days later they had started the fund raising program, but hadn't made much money in the donations to help Hina with her operations. People now made them even more humiliated by trying to help the Sorichuudo's mother. All were hit hard, but none more so then one of the girls.

Yukina had been walking back to her brother's apartment one day after a day of fundraising. It was her turn to place the money in the bank account to keep the money safe for the operation. But like most things, things didn't go as planned.

“Hey, what do you have there,” asked a rough voice and Yukina looked behind her to find three thugs behind her.

“N-Nothing,” she stuttered, half afraid.

“Looks like a lot of money to me,” said one on the first's right.

“Did you steal it?” asked the left one.

“N-No,” said Yukina. “I don't steal anything.”

“You're a lair,” said Center. “Just like you're little man-whore of a brother.”

“Don't . . .Don't call him that,” gasped Yukina holding the money closer to her chest.

“Man-whore,” sneered Lefty. “Bitch. Scank. Hoe. No good son of a . . .”

Before he could finish his sentence he found the bottom of a wine bottle in his face and his attack still posed from when she threw it. Yukina would have been shocked if she wasn't so mad. She dropped the money and gave them the best Hiei death-glare that she had learned from her brother.

“Don't call him that!” she yelled. “Don't ever call him that!”

“Get her!” yelled Lefty and both of the others charged her. Yukina gave a little yelp, grabbed the money and ran. Weaving around obstacles she ran into an alley and hoped to lose them in the clutter and trash but they followed close behind her. They sneered and chuckled maliciously as they walked toward her and trapped her in a dead end.

“Here, kitty, kitty, kitty,” taunted one. Yukina gasped and hugged the money tighter to her chest, praying that someone would help her, but no one came. Within minutes they overpowered her and left her in the alley, without the money. Yukina gasped as she crawled to her feet and started back toward her brother's apartment. When she walked in she found everyone waiting for her and rushing toward her as soon as she closed the door.

“Yukina, what happened?” asked Hiei.

“Were you hurt?” asked Kurama.

“Tell us who did it,” said Yusuke and Kuwabara at the same time.

“Oniisan,” gasped Yukina. “Gomen nasai.” She collapsed to the floor and started sobbing. “Gomen nasai.”

“About what,” asked Hiei placing a hand on his sister's shoulder.

“The money, for mother's operation, they took it!” she sobbed. “And I let them! I'm sorry, brother. I'm so sorry!”

“Yukina, I don't give a damn about the money,” said Hiei hugging her. She clung to him and sobbed in his chest. “I'm just glad you're safe.”

“But the money,” asked Kuwabara and Hiei looked at him.

“Yukina's more important to me then any amount of money in the world,” growled the raven haired boy. They all agreed and proceeded to help their friend recover.
