Panting his body began to burn even hotter and he cracked open one eye only to find that Yomi had left the room. He groaned out in frustration.
"My Lord Kurama! Are you alright? Please tell me what you need." It was lot, he stood there with the cloth Yomi had been using.
"Let me use the bath." He tried sitting up a bit. He was covered with a film of dirt from being transported across the Makai by Yomi's underlings and probably why his clothes had been removed, they were probably tattered and torn to shreds. He was also sticky with sweat and his hair was all over from struggling.
Kurama sighed as Lot came to help him stand. He could stand but he felt so queasy. Kurama leaned into him. Lot led him to the hidden door and into a hall turning again directly into a nicely furnished room with thick Makai furs and plants littered everywhere. Just seeing them made him feel much better, as he tried to summon his youki it wouldn't respond as more and more of the drugs were taking effect. He assumed there was also a small type of wards somewhere as well.
He walked Kurama over to the bathroom sitting him on a bench. Kurama let out a sigh as Lot started the water. 'Hiei. Hiei, can you hear me?' Kurama practically shouted panting through their link.
Hiei snapped his head in the direction of the fox and dashed towards him, 'I'm coming Kurama. Are you all right? What is going on?' He could sense the distress through their link.
Kurama moaned softly as he shifted trying to ease some of his discomfort, 'Yomi drugged me I think. I'm not sure, he seems worried about me. I don't think he did. He wants to prove that our mating isn't a good idea. He warded a room to block our link along with reiki and youki.' The water was cold but not too cold, just right for his overheated body. He was still connected to the plant life and couldn't control his youki to stop. After sinking into the water he continued providing Hiei with information, 'He left me with a servant boy to go find a second doctor, the first seems to be in some trouble. I'm in a room with numerous plants but I can't control my reiki or youki right now. The drugs are interfering with my entire body.'
Hiei called out as the foxes mind began to drift into more diluted thoughts. 'Fox! Keep a hold of yourself! KURAMA!' he could feel as the fox sat up straight and winced as his head, body and stomach strongly protested and he vomited blood over the edge of the tub. 'I'll be there in 2 minutes Koi. Hang on.'
Yomi was about to walk back into Kurama's room when one of his generals, Yas, came running up to him before kneeling on one knee, "I apologize for interrupting you Lord Yomi, however there seems to be someone making their way up to the castle. When we sent someone to intercept them, our personnel sent a message back saying that it is Lord Mukuro. They are both on their way back to the castle."
Yomi frowned. "Did the message say nothing else?"
"No my lord. There was no mention of the request." General Yas looked up.
Yomi turned back towards Kurama's door, "Very well. Come with me." Yomi opened the door hearing Yas stand and follow him. When he entered he could feel Kurama's presence in the bathroom. Walking in he heard Kurama breathing from the tub and could feel the temperature difference between the bathroom and the bedroom, good the boy had gotten Kurama into the tub to cool off.
Kurama had a vague notion that someone had entered the room but was on sensory overload at the moment and could not even begin to reply. He was in a comatose state, a painful one where every motion sent his nerves haywire.
Yas peaked over Yomi's should and gasped, "My Lord, is that demon well? He seems to be in pain and unable to function."
Yomi snapped at him, "Address my heir with proper respect General Yas. That is Lord Kurama my heir. He is ill which is why I'm going to have you supervise him in the other room with the boy," he point to Lot, "while I see to our guest." With that Yomi bent down and scooped up Kurama who let a low moan escape but otherwise hung limply in his arms.
General Yas looked on in awe. This pathetic creature was Lord Kurama. This was the same fox demon that had wormed his way into the ranks of general and then was chosen to be Lord Yomi's heir? He snapped back to the present situation and bowed, "I apologize, Lord Yomi, Lord Kurama. How may I assist you?" Inside he felt giddy, excited, but he would not get his hopes up.
Yomi glared at him deciding whether to punish the General right now for his insubordination or later. "Follow me." He stormed off back into the room and laid the poor fox on the bed. He would have to severely punish the doctor later. He took off his outer robe and wrapped Kurama up in it. "Watch him and if his condition changes find me immediately. I will return soon." Yomi brushed past and out of the room making his way into the foyer to wait for Muruko and take her to meet with Hiei.
