Hiei was frozen not knowing what to do. He looked over to Kurama, his form shaking under the large comforter that his mother had placed on him. When Hiei took a step towards him his body was once again thrown into a fit of spasms.
Hiei jumped to Kurama's side, he didn't know what to do but thought he had to do something. He grabbed Kurama by the shoulders and held him still. As he was doing this Shiori came back into the room with another blanket.
'The woman is trying to cocoon Kurama!' Hiei thought in his mind.
"I called the doctor," she said quietly as if she owned it to Hiei to tell him. Hiei nodded, he didn't feel like talking right now. (What's new?)
"He said he would be over as soon as he could, but he isn't sure with all the snow. I know he needs it though, he is seriously sick," she just kept talking and Hiei was getting very uncomfortable with her.
"What about his job later?" Hiei asked, he just felt weird not talking.
"I called, told them he was to sick to work, they weren't happy. Shuichi is a very hard worker, and they said this was a busy night," she paused, "they will fire him if he isn't there tomorrow."
Hiei felt angry at that, he was sick he could not help that, they were punishing him? "That's not nice," Hiei mumbled, not hearable.
"I should have noticed something, his grades have been slipping, and he is up to all hours of the night doing homework. What kind of mother am I, how could I not notice?" Shiori started to cry, she looked to Hiei for comfort but he just looked at the ground. "I am going to...call my husband."
Shiori then left the room, leaving Hiei alone with Kurama. Hiei didn't know what to do so he just stood there, and stood there, and stood there. After about twenty minutes elapsed Shiori returned with a man next to her. Hiei felt some sort of protectiveness over Kurama and he didn't want the man anywhere near him.
The doctor paid no attention to the low growls that Hiei was sending him and went to asses Kurama. He shooed Hiei and the sobbing Shiori out of the room and into the hall where they stood in dead silence.
Hiei was wondering what he was doing, for one, why hadn't he fled already and why was he so damn protective of his damn fox? Wait a minute...his fox? Where was this coming from???? Hiei shook his head trying to clear his thought, but it didn't seem to help.
Shiori showed him to the couch and he sat down. She offered him food and drinks but he refused to eat anything. Shiori sat down next to him, once again making Hiei feel uncomfortable.
"He was such a cute boy growing up, but before I knew it he was a big boy and no longer needed me for everything. Then he got a job at the flower shop, he loves flowers, I don't know why. I didn't mind him getting a job; I thought that it was nice for him to learn some more responsibility."
"But then, I lost my job, and my husband's job is going down. Poor Shuichi, he got another job for our family, and then I started to notice his lack of time, he stopped eating, didn't socialize, didn't even come home for more then five hours at a time. I should have stopped him, I should have told him it was enough," Shiori started to cry again. Hiei wanted a one way ticket out of there so much at the moment.
All of a sudden there was a knock on the door. Shiori opened it up and fell right into the arms of her husband, crying heavily. He looked to Hiei who just looked back, they shared no words.
The doctor came out of the room, the look on his face was unmistakable, something was wrong with Kurama.
"What is wrong with Shuichi?" Kurama's stepfather asked.
"Well, he is suffering a severe case of exhaustion that should leave him bedridden for weeks. As an addition to that he is suffering from a very high fever, I gave him some medicine that will have to be given every 4 to 6 hours to help bring it down. He is also very weak so he will need a lot of help with things for now. He was whispering to me, wither he was conscious it was hard to tell but I guess he wanted to see someone or have something named Hiei. I will be back in a week to check on his progress," the doctor said, and then he left.
Shiori turned to Hiei and gave him a small push towards Kurama's bedroom door. Hiei wanted out right then and there but if he jumped out the window then what would Kurama's parents think?
If he jumped out of Kurama's window they might notice his absence without going through the front door. For now he would stay, only because Kurama seemed to want him.
He walked in the room and stood next to Kurama's bed. "You were calling for my fox?" he asked gruffly. Kurama seemed to be semi-conscious.
"There going to fire me, aren't they," Kurama said, it was weak and he looked like it hurt him to speak. "I know they will, the owner really doesn't like me...he can't fine any fault. He gets so mad."
"Yes, he will," Hiei said, it was short and to the point.
"Hiei, you have no idea...what this will do to my family," Kurama said taking a sharp intake of breath. "We need the money so bad."
"Your in pain aren't you, you are such a stubborn fox," Hiei said.
"Not that much," Kurama lied, his chest was tight and it burned to talk. Hiei, without being told lifted Kurama to a half sitting, mostly laying position on his bed and his pain almost disappeared right away.
"I need you to help me out Hiei," Kurama said, this time he was very serious.
"Hn," Hiei said, he was listening.
"My mother, she is getting older, she needs help around the house and my stepfather isn't home all that much. Please help her out, I know it is very unlike you but please try." Kurama took a deep breath, his fatigue was showing. He slid back down to a laying position and then he whispered out, "And please stay with me, if only for tonight, stay with me."
And with that, he was asleep.
