"I think it might be hurt," he murmured to the fox. The little creature gave another purr when Hiei ran a finger over the kit's ear.

There on the red carpter, sat a baby fox demon in kit form. The creature's tiny paws were brown and led up to the rest of its black furred body. The black fur was covered in dirt and blood, giving it a lonely look. Its hind left leg was raised and curled towards the stomach, while the other three kept the standing cub balanced.

"See. She holds up her back left leg. Whenever I put my hand near it . . . " he then rubbed his hand close to it. Earning him a growl and nip from the cub. ". . . she goes and does that." He finished his sentence, with a rub to the kit's ears. Causing the young fox to forget that anything had gone anywhere close to the leg.

The older fox was out of bed in no time flat. Instantly pressed flat against the ground, eyeing the leg. A small blush grew, when he discovered, that the kit was for sure a girl. It disappeared as soon as his eyes landed on the hurt leg.

He placed his hand on the bottom of the raised foot and grinned when he was met with only a look. Though when he turned his head, he noticed a glare from the fire demon. "This only means that it's her hip or knee bothering her. Her foot is fine," the glare stopped and the red eyes went back to looking the cub over again.

Keeping his hand on the foot, Kurama let his other hand move to touch the kit's knee. The kit whipped its head around and carefully watched with amethyst eyes. "Amethyst colored eyes. That is usually rare. She most have some wolf in her, since she is able to go into this form,(1)" Kurama commented, while letting his fingers rise closer to the kit's hip.

The purple eyes seemed to narrow every inch the fingers took towards getting near her hip. That was all the red head needed to see. He didn't need to get his fingers any closer to the injured hip.

"Wait," he murmured to himself. A thought suddenly running through his head. If it was the hip, she would not stand at all. It must be a stretched muscle or an infection.

He moved his hands from the kit's leg, and foot, then glanced over to Hiei.

"I'm going to need you to hold her . . . " he went to say more, but Hiei seemed to know what the fox had in mind. The fire demon put his hands on each side of the kit and lifted her into the air. Once a good foot off the ground, did he find it safe to move her around into his arms. He then held her, like a baby, against his chest. This position left the kit's left side open to the other fox's view.

While Hiei was doing this, he moved himself from his kneeling position and sat on his behind with his legs crossed. Kurama moved from his laying position into a position similar to Hiei's.

The kit seemed to relax fully against Hiei's chest, not attempting to move or escape from the strong arms. This gave Hiei enough resolve to move his left, that had been holding up his right arm, and let his fingers stroke the kit's ears.

Once Kurama was sure that the kit was relaxed, did he find it safe to search her for injuries.

He came across a scratch on the kit's left shoulder, but that didn't seem to bother her, and it looked to be the scratch that most of the blood came from. He dug through more dirt and blood, and was able to announce her stomache was fine.

This left him to look at the kit's hip. He discovered that when he touched her hip in the center, near her tail bone, she did nothing.

"Yes. I don't think it's her hip and now I feel alittle stupid for thinking it," he admitted to Hiei. Looking up to red eyes and seeing amusement shining in them. Kurama gave the fire demon a snort and looked back to the kit. Her head laid against the inside of Hiei's elbow and she was purring from the soft strokes the cradling demon gave her.

Kurama resumed his search and dug some more through the dirt and blood. His fingers traced over a bump, causing the purring to stop and the kit jump and try to move away from both demons.

Hiei stopped the stroking and put his arm around the kit, to steady her from falling. The red-head moved his hand away and helped Hiei settle the kit.

"That bump felt like a needle injection... bump... I guess would be the way to put. Whatever shot she 'might' have gotten, could be the reason her leg is hurting her," Kurama muttered uselessly, while trying to think of another way to see what was bothering her. He could remember watching medical shows with his mother and how they would stretch the leg out. 'Well, let's try it,' he gave a moment to thank his mother for liking those shows.

As gently as possible, Kurama cupped the kit's foot and slowly pulled it down towards Hiei's leg. The kit gave a muffled cry and attempted to pull it's leg back to its side. Green eyes glared at the kit. 'There will be none of that,' the fire demon thought, while smirking at the look Kurama gave the kit.

He held tight to the paw and pulled the leg, till it was straight as it would get. By then the kit had given up fighting against Kurama and settled for hiding her head in the crook of Hiei's arm. But, that didn't stop her from being mad. No matter how much the fire demon stroked the kit's ears, she refused to purr or be happy.

Kurama gently touched the bump, with the hand he was not using, and could feel the length of the bump. "Yes, it seems she must of been used for an experiment. There's no other reason she would be here with us," the red-head then gave a sigh, and went to let the kit's leg go. But stopped when the sun light moved differently into the room.

Birds fluttered outside, sending the beams of light wildly around the room. One beam directly hit the kit's leg, showing where Kurama's fingers were buried in the fur. Then showing a large blue and purple spot right at the fox demon's finger tips.

It seemed, as soon as it started, it stopped and the light settled down again. The bruise was hidden from sight and the birds were resting in another area.

"Her muscles must be bruised. That would. . . kinda. . . explain why she holds her leg close," once finished talking, Kurama moved his hands away from the hurt kit. The bruised leg instantly curled up against the young body and a little head poked out from Hiei's arm.

Finger tips continued to lovingly stroke small ears and soon caused a gentle purr to fill the room. Both demons just sat and watched the kit purr and wag her tail, back and forth. After a while, the young kit's eyes started to close and didn't stop till they were fully resting. Not long, after the eyes were closed, did the purring stop and the wagging cease.

"Lay her on the bed. We will let her rest for a while. Then we can give her a bath," the fire demon spoke first and spoke softly. Both rose silently, with Hiei gently laying the kit on Kurama's messed up bed, and Kurama moving to open the door leading into the hall.

Once all this was done; did green eyes look from the hall and meet red eyes, that looked up from the bed. The two demons stood. Quietly staring at one another. Not saying a word. They had both learned that at times like this, words were not needed. And not because there was a sleeping baby in the room, but because words would ruin the moment.

It was then destroyed when, finally, Kurama nodded his head out into the hall. Hiei gave a nod in return and made to move from the room. However, the taller of two, did not move. He stood in the doorway. Watching the black haired friend move closer. This continued until, the smaller figure, could move the longer. That being, since Kurama, stood in the path to the hall.

Hiei felt his heart beat pounding in his ear. The adrenaline rushed through the fox's veins, as he moved away from the doorway and closer to Hiei. This action inforced the fire demon to do the same. Until both then could no longer move forward; without walking over the other.

Kurama leaned down. Putting himself face to face with the apple of his eye. All the while thinking of what could go right and what could go wrong. Not knowing the fire demon was sharing these thoughts as well.

The current position they were in, face to face, was not close enough for a certain short demon. Causing him to stand to the tips of his toes, so that his lips were mere inches from the object of his thoughts.

"Hiei," the taller murmured, before gently brushing his lips against the man infront of him.

"Kurama," the shorter replied, returning the gesture to the demon before him.

"Hey! Are either of you hungry?" a voice broke into the room and broke apart the demons. They both moved to see who had come at such a time.

There in the doorway, stood the 'great' Kuwabara. Acting to cheerful for the demons likings.

Red and green eyes then fixed him with a glare and put their fingers to their lips. Kurama then gestured towards then bed, while Hiei moved around Kurama and towards the occupied doorway.

"I am going to get some food for the creature," was all Kurama and/or Kuwabara got, before the human was pushed into the hallway and out of the room. Then before the larger human could re-enter, the door was such with a gentle click. Leaving him facing a slumped red head.

"Hey. Yo' okay?" Kuwabara asked. Instantly being greeted with surprised emerald eyes. A smile forced its way onto the fox's face. "I'm fine. I just was rudely awoken earlier then I wanted," this was followed with a yawn. The little act was instantly bought and not once questioned.

----

The large kitchen was soon emptied. It occupants were slowly leaving and going off to find various activities to become involved in.

Only two people were then left in the room. A certain fire demon and a certain fox demon.

An ackward silence was dropped onto both. Not knowing if they should speak of the little encounter or not. Finally, after minutes of painful silence, it was broken with a question.

"Hiei. Where did you find the kit?" Kurama asked. Happy that he finally had found a question that could break the silence. The look at Hiei's face seemed to relax at the question.

But, then the look changed into one of pure confusion. Making the red-head wonder if he really knew WHERE he had picked the kit up. This look remained for sometime. Quickly bringing the uncomfortable silence back.

"Mukuro gave me a box last night," Hiei started, and took a deep breath of air, to help with his story telling.
