Chapter 8- an apple a day keeps the Doc away?
Hiei leaned on the branch in the secluded area he had resigned to. His newly repaired kitana was tucked in his arms and rested on his shoulder as he relaxed his neck to almost appear sleeping. However, he was far form it- his mind was heavy with thoughts.
`Help the human race? Feh! After I strove so hard to see its destruction?….,' his thoughts trailed off there, `that was before I actually had to come to this miserable place. Before I saw how hard other demon filth had tried to justify killing this pathetic race. Before I found out how stubborn they can be and how they seem to have a knack for pulling through tight spots- like Yousuke and Kuwabara did at the tournament.' He was in a dilemma. He both hated and almost admired the human race. They had guts; he'd give'em that much. But was it worth his bother to help them? Why should he care if they died out? They were going to drive themselves to extinction, why not just help it along?…….even for Hiei, he couldn't decide. His pride as a demon refused to go back and help them. He'd already made it clear that he didn't want any part in this fight- to go back wouldn't be his style. It would seem like he cared. Heaven forbid, he cared for very few things. Yukina as always was the 1st. she was his sister, then there was that wolf demo-
`Oh hell no.' he thought, `don't even go there.'
A flash of her betrayed-looking eyes flashed in his mind when she tried to stop him. The way she used her air bending power on him to take out her frustration and even slammed him in the floor when he accused her of hiding behind her power because she wasn't confidant enough to take him on with a sword. His lower back tinged in slight pain when he leaned too much on the sore spot she made. That little bitch even gave him a wind scrape when she sent him down the floor! Those don't heal as fast as regular wounds! They burnt whenever pushed or strained, and Hiei rolled his eyes to the heavens.
He probably deserved that.
He had hurt her pretty deeply. It almost looked like she was going to cry. Surprisingly, the fire demon felt his anger boil at that… then he remembered that HE was the reason if she DID cry. And that just stabbed at him like a blade he couldn't avoid.
`Damn' he cursed. Hating the way the female demon had affected him like this when he actually thought about it…..or at least this is the only time he actually noticed or caught himself feeling this way for her.
Hiei's granite eyes shot open when he sensed an intruder. Two Kunai knives were embedded on either side of his face, just barely missing him. He could hear the way the blades dug into the wood of the tree. He glanced at them with a glare then looked for their owner, but they were hiding their scent and aura traces somehow. Hiei's hand rested on his sword, ready at will to draw quickly and end the sorry life that dared threat him.
“Can't find me, Hiei?” mocked a familiar voice. Hiei's eyes widened.
`Yumi?' she had followed him? Koenma wouldn't like that. He always got ancey when the demoness followed Hiei around with out his consent, `screw him.' Hiei snorted.
“Using more tricks, wolf?” he called out to the trees. Searching to catch a hint on her. Her earth bending was using the scent of the forest to cover her own. He used that to his advantage when she actually helped him on a few raids in demon world when he was retreating. They never found him. Now he knew just how they felt.
Frustrated.
He knew she was there- probably really close to mock him- but couldn't catch sight of her.
Another set of Kunai shot out at him. Hiei knocked them away with his sword and glared at the direction. Yumi's laughter echoed around him.
“You should know form teaching me how to be evasive, Hiei, I won't stay in the same spot long enough for you to find me until I want to be found.” Her head suddenly popped down upside down form the leaves just above him, startling him, “isn't that right? SENSAI Hiei?” she smiled coldly at him. He swung at her, but she retreated back behind the leaves, giggling once again, “awe, does little Hiei feel too old when I call him SENSAI?”
“Yumi! Cut this out! What do you want!” he hissed getting tired of this game very quickly.
“That's right, sensai, what DO I want?” she repeated coyly, “I thought we had a good view of what WE wanted, but since you left, I guess my LEASH got too slack and this little puppy is confused at the new found freedom.” She referred to his comment to her when he left.
“Yumi, I don't have to explain myself to you.” He said sternly as he saw right through her little `beat around the bush' game she so loved to torture him with. Before, he actually enjoyed taunting her right back, but right now it aggravated him.
“Then why must I explain myself to you why I'm here?” She countered as she flipped down form the higher branches and gracefully landed a few paces on the thick branch he was on. She wore her outfit she wore as a demon in Makai to blend in when she wasn't working. It was a dark green torn off tunic top that she used rope to tie off just under her breast so it didn't flap and flash during a battle- it had once been a full tunic, but Hiei had `accidentally' slashed half of it off during on of their more `playful' duels. She had on black pants much like his own that were also tied off with a rope that also served to hold her Kitana sheath to her hip. Her calves were bandaged off and she wore soft shoes that allowed her to feel the earth beneath her. Her wild brunette hair was pulled up into a high ponytail and her green eyes regarded him with determination as her black wolf ears set at the side of her head lowered dangerously, but Hiei also saw a hint of hurt that she tried to hide- he knew her too well for her to hide like that.
She drew her kitana, “tell you what. You like making deals right?” she tossed her kitana from one hand then back to the other and then held it in a stance, “we both want to know something. How about I tell you what you want to know, since I could careless, and if I beat you I get one request and you tell me why your being so stupid to run away. If you win you get a request that I will do with out question.”
A part of Hiei smirked at that, `any request?' Hiei held his sword ready, “what's the reason then?” he was really close to hitting his head on the tree to knock that stupid voice out of his mind at what he ha just thought. That was just as bad as YOKO!
That and he didn't want a distraction.
“I'm here to challenge you. Since you don't know if you want me to stay or go lately, if I beat you, I don't care what my duty is, you'll allow me to stay by your side. Since you said I hide behind my own power and am too afraid to take you on in a sword fight, I intend to shove it back in your face.” She gritted her teeth and held her Kitana in both hands to the side. With out warning she sprinted into attack
Hiei's speed didn't let him have the upper hand- Yumi was almost just as fast as him. To dodge her he had to take it seriously or get hit denying it. He blocked her sword with is own and pushed her back far enough to swing at her. Yumi leaped away, flipping in the air. She made sure her black tail slapped him when she did.
He glared at her, “fighting dirty now?
“Give me a rule book that rules out a simple brush of a tail, and I'll stop.” She countered.
This time both Hiei and Yumi charged at one another and met half way. Their Kitanas `clinged and clanged' as they met twice this time, then started pressing against each other as Yumi and Hiei locked them. Both trying to over throw the other.
“Is this what you want to do now Hiei? Lounge around in trees all day while you're friends are battling the demons form demon world in only a week-if not less? Who knew you were lazy.” She hissed at him.
Hiei growled at her and shoved her off balance, then swiped a leg under her. She fell to on her back, but knocked away his blade with her own when he made to pin her there. She copied him- swiping the dull side of her sword under him and knocking him down as well.
Both glared at one another before they darted away from one another.
“Quit trying to justify yourself at me! I get enough of that as it is!” Hiei roared as he charged.
“Well maybe you need it! You're always so hung up on something and pissed at the world because of your past! I know you were angry with you mother and the ice maidens for what they did to you. The way they put labels on you! You were angry at first when we went there and you found out that your mother had died before you could sink your blade into her flesh! I watched you almost do the same to Yukina! I know your hurt and I know life is crappy, but if you keep letting it eat at you, every time I pull you out will get harder and harder! Pretty soon, I wont be able to find you in that darkness you always seem to run to cause its so much easier!” she cried out. Hiei stopped just paces from his attack. He was shocked to hear her say that- but it was true in a way. She did always seem to follow him no matter where he went and she drew him back to a place he had started to like more and more.
“Even then though Hiei,” her voice was cracking now, “I wont give up to find you there. Even if I myself am lost. I don't give a fucking CARE! So long as I find you there and at least TRY to help, I won't stop!”
“Why?” he asked quietly. He didn't want her as corrupt as him. He didn't want his Yumi feeling the kind of pain he did, “why would you do something like that? Something so……. human?”
She looked up at him with a gentle smile a she lowered her sword, “because….. Hiei, I don't care that you refuse to let yourself feel happy feelings. I'm not afraid that I've probably fallen in love with the devil's son himself. As long as I'm allowed to stay with you, I could care less if you ran me threw with that sword” `well I would but that's not the point!' she thought on the side, “maybe I feel it because I heard so much about it while I was here in the human world, even before Koenma took me in. it would almost be impossible not to envy them. The way humans can feel these things without seeing it first hand. Its natural to them, but I see why they crave it so much.” She looked him in the eye with the softest look he's ever seen in those forest green pools he had memorized to permanent memory, “I'm here because I love you.”
There she said it. Now he knew why she went through great lengths to stay by his side.
Hiei was shocked. She sheathed her sword and walked up to him with a bow, “I admit my defeat, Hiei.” She forfeited.
Now Hiei was really shocked and let it show. She loved him. HIM! OF ALL PEOPLE! She even admitted that she didn't care how dark he was- she went as far as to call him Satins child. - So long as she was allowed to stay with him.
Strange thing that even added on the bewildered scene was that he felt warm. Not in a lusting way, but in a ……good way? Was that what love felt like? Or at least the beginning of it?
“What do you want in return?” she asked suddenly. Throwing him out of his thoughts.
“Huh?” he replied intelligently. (Give him a break, its Hiei vs. happy feelings.)
“Your request? You win.” She reminded him.
“Oh……,” he looked away. He was risking a lot by showing so much emotion like this, or even THINKING like this. Was she worth it?……
He smiled. HIEI actually smiled warmly at her as he pulled her into a hug. Now it was Yumi's turn to blink in confusion.
“My request…” he thought about it then smirked, “my COMAND to you is not to leave my side even if I try to push you away from now on. Got it? Where I go- you go.”
Yes. She was worth it. He would fight for her just as he would Yukina. She was his now.
Yumi was silent for a moment, shocked that he actually wanted her to promise that and he didn't seem willing to let her go anytime soon. Her eyes softened again as she returned his embrace, “but what if I wanna go somewhere you don't? You know it'll happen.” She joked playfully.
Hiei sighed over exaderated as he held her closer, “if you're not annoying me, and I'm in a good mood, we might compromise.”

(Awwwwe! Hiei fluff! See? He does have it in him. Loll)
“Kurama?” Desota called as she and Kyo burst into the hospital doors. Kyo squealed in surprise when a horde of demon insects similar to the ones outside swarmed at them. He instinctively put up his barrier, but it was weak since they had crossed into a human territory. Desota grabbed her Kryptonite necklace and ripped it off her neck. In her fisted hand, it stretched into a long, blade-tipped, green sparking bullwhip and she snapped it across a line of insects to clear a small passageway for them to squish through.
“Damn! I hate bugs!” she whined as she slashed her way through the horde. She tripped over something that caught her foot and looked back when she tumbled down in fright to see a green-skinned human lying unconscious on the ground, “ACK!” she leapt up startled and pressed her back against Kyo's side. Kyo grunted lowly in his throat to warn her his barrier was weakening form the insistent horde of insects. They were surrounded now. The bullwhip only served to back the insects off for a small period of time, but then they returned with full force.
“DRAGONS WRATH!” Ryu bellowed suddenly form outside the surrounding the insects had pinned on Kyo and Desota. Cool, blue fire licked at the edges of Kyo's barrier as the flames burned the bugs to ash on the floor, “Dessy? You and Kyo ok?” Ryu called as he jogged to approach them. His bright orange eyes scanned around as if he was expecting something more before they did a once over her to check her.
“I'm fine, but what are they?” she asked when he reached her.
“Big bugs with a big nasty bite.” He said vaguely.
“In other words, you don't know….,” Desota dead panned with a cocked eyebrow.
Ryu slumped comically, “no I DON'T know. Ok? I was separated form the rest to clear out this floor while everyone else took on the up stairs.” He mumbled.
“So do you at least know anything about them?” Desota asked. Her pitch rising when she saw another wave of insects charging at them. She snapped her whip in anticipation.
“Yeah,” Ryu snarled as he extended his claws dangerously and blue fire flared around his wrists and hands, “don't get stung or die.” With that wise comment, he darted for the horde- slicing anything around him to little pieces with his fiery claws.
The few that got pass him shot for Desota and Kyo, “well, I'll be sure and do that then.” Desota gulped then turned to Kyo who was panting in exhaustion form keeping up the barrier he rarely used anymore, “at least they cant sting us with this barrier, right boy?” her small laugh died when the clear yellow lighted barrier flickered before completely giving out and dissipating as Kyo shrunk to his chibbi form- dog tired and heaving breathes as if he was dieing.
Desota's nervousness spiked in sudden fear, “WELL YOU'RE NO HELP! YOU LAZZY JACKASS!”
Kyo simply gave her one of his goofy equine smiles and shrugged his shoulders with a whimper of an apology.
Desota frantically lashed her whip about- not allowing one insect to get near her or her fallen Kyo. It got to a point where she hauled Kyo on to her shoulder and started to retreat out of the horde to gain better ground before taking a dead run up the stairs and slamming the door to the stair well closed behind her.
“There.” She huffed out of breath, “they're all down on the 1st floor……….now….” she trailed off when her ears picked up the beating of the insect wings from down the hall way and she bristled taking off at a dead flight for life, “NOT AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN!” She screamed as she ran away. Ryu could handle himself- he was the one who had done most of their fighting anyway. She- on the other hand- had very little training except for the basics her father had taught're when he was alive and well still. The 1st lesson he had taught her was when in doubt in a situation like this- RUN!
So,
She ran. (Lol)
She ran up another flight of stairs and into a janitor's closet to cut them off- closing the door tightly behind her. She sighed in relief when all she heard was the faint trickles of wings fling pass the door and slumped down to the floor. Kyo slid off her shoulder and onto the ground with a yelp at the sudden impact.
“That should buy us some time until you can locate the others.” She breathed.
Two orange eyes looked up guiltily at her, “Kyoma ka kyoo houshinda.” She squeaked pitifully.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN `TOO TIERED'! YOU NEVER WERE BEFORE!” Desota yelled at him in her sudden fear, “that doesn't mean that….the bugs got them right?”
Kyo shook his head no frantically, “Kay kyou kassa kyo.” He mewled.
“You're……….just exhausted?”
“Kou.” He nodded in agreement as the hanyou gave him a skeptical glare.
“No more poky for you.” She mumbled.
Kyo slumped and whimpered depressed that she took away his most favorite food.
The buzz of wings clattered in the air vents above them and Kyo and Dessy looked horrified at the vent just to their right, then back at each other.
“That's not good.”
“Kay-Kou!” Kyo agreed panicking now as she gathered him into her arms to shield him if need be like a child she never had.
The vent started to give away and Desota ducked her head, waiting for the attack.
The door burst open form a powerful kick that Kurama had sent to it. He lashed out his rose whip to slaughter the wave that descended upon Kyo and Desota first, “WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING HERE IN A CLOSET!” He yelled over the buzzing noise of wings as he quickly protected her and Kyo with his own body while Ryu inflamed the room and the vent with his ice-cold blue fire. It had no effect on Kurama, thanks to his own flame-resistance pant aroma that he extracted form a seed from his blood red locks.
When the flames subsided Ryu snarled as another wave started to come down the hall and he heard shouting, “Genkai's found some survivors! I'm going to assister her. Kurama, I'm sure I can trust you to watch these two?” it wasn't really a question, since the dragon lord dashed off before Kurama would ever think to reply.
“Kyo's barrier was weakened drastically when he held off Ryu's Dragon Wrath attack. He wasn't prepared for it and I didn't want to risk being stung by something I know nothing abou-,” Kyo's small groan of pain cut her off and both demons shot quickly to Kyo. He was starting to turn green and his orange eyes, usually bright, were turning dull as he broke into a fevered sweat, “KYO!”
“He's been stung!” Kurama hissed as he slashed the bug that had caused the chibbi zhorses pain, “we have to find Yusuke! The doctor is the one who's running this territory and therefore is the only one with the proper antidote.”
Desota gathered up Kyo, “and if…. we don't get there?”
Kurama hesitated, “Kyo will return to Heaven.” He hinted. Not wanting to say it so bluntly to her when she was already worked up.
Blue fire spit into her aqua orbs, as she looked determined to the door then glanced back at him, “I trust you with my life, Kurama, so prove to me that I'm not wrong and don't let a single insect near me. I'm not going to pay them any heed so I can run at my full potential, but I need you to defend me.” She looked at him pleading that he'd agree.
Kurama smiled and put an arm over her shoulders. If not for the situation, he would have felt great pleasure in seeing that dark blush rise on her cheeks at the contact, but fear not. Yoko was taking it as a note for later, “I will never let anything happen to you so long as I breathe life in flesh and spirit.” He promised.
After an awkward pause (she had no idea where that came from or what to say) she nodded, “alright. …Th-thank you,” she stuttered embarised. She got up and stood just behind the door, “ready?”
He nodded and clutched his rose whip eagerly. She glanced out then hissed, “meet you there if I lose you!” then she shot out at a speed that would have Hiei blinking even.
Yokos smirk appeared on Kurama's face as his eyes flashed gold, “Don't worry about ME keeping up.” He said under his breath as he flew after her.

Desota pushed herself harder when she felt Kyo's sickness getting worse. He gave out a wheezing small squeal in pain.
“Hold on, buddy, I've got'cha.” She said to him as she sped up, “Urameshi's probably confronting whoever's doing this by now. He'll know what to do.” She then looked over her shoulder worried, “HOWS IT GOING BACK THERE, KURAMA?”
“I'm doing just fine! They seem to be thinning out, just keep going!” he called back.
Desota rounded another corner and stopped dead before running into Keiko and Shizieru, Kuwabaras sister. The others seemed to be there as well. The glass window was broken next to Yousuke.
“What…. what happened?” Desota asked out of breath. Kurama had caught up to her side now- he barely was breathing hard.
“Yousuke just beat the Doctor and Genkai had to revive him form death. The doctor had to die in order to cure his disease form the people here.” Yana explained form where he was on the floor in a. …………(Sweat drop) nurse out fit?
Ryu was standing next to Shizieru's side when he saw Kyo's state, “what's wrong with him?”
“He was stung by one of those insects.” Kurama informed. His brows knotted in confusion. All the others were ok, but the illness was still in Kyo and it was steadily getting worse.
“But the doc's gone now,” Kuwabara said getting worried over the little guy, “he shouldn't be sick form those bugs now, right?”
“If he were a human, yes, he'd be fine, but Kyoma isn't human or demon. So the doctor's poison is affecting him differently. He'll need herbs to help him heal.” Genkai said as she looked over her shoulder at the sirens that started to whine their arrival, “this is a crime scene we don't want to be found at now. Let us leave for now until we know more about these 7 physics.”
“I'll stay here and make sure Kito gets the best of care.” Kaitou said as he adjusted his glasses.
“Let hope he can walk again.” Yousuke said grimly as he followed the others out the door.
Desota's aqua eyes didn't leave Kyo's form in her arms as Kurama put an arm around her shoulders to lead her. She fought back the tears enough to not let on that she was about to cry as she looked up at him, “do you think your plants can help him?” she asked. The quake in her voice was barely noticeable, but Kurama caught it and his heart sank to know she was hurting inside probably as much as little Kyo was.
“I know I do. Soon as we get back, I'll prepare the antidote, all right? Kyo will be fine.” He gave her shoulders a squeeze for reassurance and she sighed gratefully. She then surprised him when she rested her head on his shoulder.
“Thank you….. Kurama,” she whispered, looking back down to the little zhorse in her arms.
Kurama smiled warmly down at her and let his arm slide lower to her waist as he held her closer to his side, “you're welcome,” he whispered back in her ear. His smile grew when she stiffened from his closeness, but relaxed quickly into him, accepting it.
Yousuke glanced back at the group behind him and saw Kurama walking Desota in the back. He arched a black bro when he saw just how close the kitsune kept her to him and the look in his eye, `oh great, another love story.' He thought with a huff as he turned around, `no wander Hiei left! Kurama's chasing after Dessy!….. Well she has been living with the guy for almost a month now….and she ISNT that bad of a looker either….' And so Yousuke's mind traveled on to the possibilities of Kurama and Desota getting together while she was staying at the Minamino household….
And the Hentaious thoughts began………
“Hey Kurama!” Yousuke called over his shoulder with a sly grin on his face, “I think you should give Dessy a full BODY exam when we get back! You never know what she could have gotten into while we were gone!” his sly grin turned cheesy as everyone caught his double meaning.
Keiko slapped him so hard he didn't expect it and went flying into the building they were walking pass, “HONESTLY YOU PERVERT! YOU CANT GO ONE DAY WITH OUT SAYING SOMETHING DIRTY FROM THAT DIRTY MOUTH OF YOURS CAN YOU!” She snapped at him.
“At least I didn't say anything about that skirt you're wearing…. or that what color your panties are- which I have a nice view form down here.” He smiled apologetically.
Keiko bristled even more, “YOU-YOU'RE……….YOU'RE DISPICABLE!” she roared at him as she turned her heel and marched on. Everyone just kind of stared in amusement at the scene while Desota tried to hide a blush that was deepening on her cheeks now that such a thought was in her mind.
`Bad Dessy, bad, bad, bad!' she scolded her self mentally. Part of her didn't mind it so much if Kurama did do such a thing. He was the only one she had become so close to to be willing to be in that situation, but another side- her modesty side which was over ruling at times like theses, protested at the very thought, `what would mother say!' her mind got very quiet, `she'd probably ask if he was good looking and how he was when he- ack! Bad example!'
Kurama smirked inwardly as he hid his face behind his bangs. Yousuke had no idea what pleasure that little suggestive thought gave him. Yoko didn't help at all since he played off yet another sexual fantasy of the whole ordeal. Lately however, Kurama seemed less forceful to get those images out of his thoughts. He couldn't help but wander what she'd do if he……
`Yoko……….now is not the time nor the place and you know it.' Kurama chastised his other half.
/that was all you that time. / Yoko shot back slyly /really, Kurama, you have the worst timing- I mean, she's already caught up with that fur ball in her hands/
`He's sick! And don't call him fur ball, its KYO.'
/all right, alright- Kydoe. There, happy/
`Kyo'
/what ever. Lets just get home and make the antidote. I don't like her mind on other things besides us. /
`Selfish brat'
/you're no better, I know you're just as jealous as I am that her attention is waylaid somewhere else. /
`Will you just shut up!'
