Yu Yu Fic
Sick; age 9
Kurama awoke with a start. Rain was pounding and thunder rolled. A tapping on the window made him jump. "Hiei!" The nine-year-old scrambled to the window and let his friend in.
The small fire demon stumbled in, shivering.
"Hiei! Are you all right?" Kurama asked, puling off the blanket on his bed and wrapping it around his friend. He locked the door in case his mother woke up.
The shivering demon didn't answer, but hugged the blanket closer.
"Take off your wet cloths, I'll try and find something that might fit you," He ran to his closet as the demon peeled off his soaking wet cloths. "Here, this is the best I can do I think."
Cloths flew at Hiei and he shakily put them on. "They're big."
Kurama stuck his head out of the closet and giggled. Hiei's hands and feet were engulfed in red pajamas.
He glared at him, wrapping the blanket around himself again. "Shut up baka kitsune."
Kurama managed to take it down to a grin, but barely lost it when Hiei sneezed and fell on his butt. "Come on, you get the bed." He said, helping him up.
Hiei shook his head "It's yours."
Kurama sighed. They always had this argument, but he wasn't going to let Hiei win this time. "So? You will be warmer."
"And where are you going to sleep, kitsune?"
He shrugged "The floor or the window seat like you do."
"No."
"Well, I'm not going to let you sleep on the floor when you're sick." He said sternly. He looked at the bed, "I suppose there is enough room for both of us if you refuse to let me sleep on the floor." He climbed up "Come on!"
Hiei cautiously followed.
"What's the matter Hiei? It's just a bed." Kurama bounced slightly before crawling under the covers.
Hiei kneeled there, blinking.
What is it?" Kurama asked, concerned.
"I've never slept in a bed before," the demon said almost shyly.
Kurama smiled "It's ok, come on!"
Hiei gave a small yelp as Kurama grabbed his hand and pulled him under the covers.
The nine-year-old red head had to put his hands over his mouth to muffle his laughing.
"What?!" Snapped Hiei.
"You look funny when you pout." He said, fresh snicker arriving.
" I. Am. Not. Pouting." The demon stated before rolling over and putting his back to the boy.
The laughing calmed "Alright. Sweet dreams Hiei"
He felt Kurama tucks the blanket around him tighter. He rolled over to see Kurama's back. "Hn," he said softly before curling into a ball and falling asleep.

Hiei woke up to a slight weight on top of him. He opened his eyes to see a very close Kurama. He instantly pulled away put something was holding him. Kurama had an arm draped over him and the grip tighened as he tried to pull away. "I'm not your fake animal, baka kitsune! Lemme go!" He whispered and went to pull away again, but froze.
A small frown had appeared on the boy's face. When Hiei stopped moving, he tried to pull him closer again.
"Why are you frowning kitsune?" He asked the sleeping form. He sighed "Fine. I'll your fake animal's replacement just this once." He let himself relax and Kurama pulled closer again. Hiei had to admit he didn't mind the extra warmth because he was still freezing. He curled closer to Kurama and fell back to sleep.

"Suuichi? Suuichi! Wake up, why is your door locked?"
Kurama's eyes shot open and he threw the blanket over Hiei and scrambled to the door. "Sorry mother, I locked it last night when I changed into warmer cloths." He said, opening the door and doing the best acting he could. "I don't feel to good mother, I forgot to close my window last night and I think I caught a cold."
She put a hand on his forehead "You don't feel like you have a fever. I'll bring up some soup anyway. She walked away and Kurama closed the door smiling.
Hiei threw the blankets off of him "You're not-" he sneezed,"-sick!"
He smiled "No, but you are. And you're going to eat my soup."
"Soup?"
Kurama nodded "It will make you feel better."
"I don't need it." Hiei crossed his arms and sneezed again.
"Yes you do. You are going to eat it whither you want to or not. But you will have to hide when mother returns.
"I'll go under the bed." The demon shrugged and shivered.
Kurama sighed and took a blanket and wrapped it tightly around his friend.
Hiei blinked "Kurama?"
"Hm?" He tugged the blanket tighter.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because I'm your friend. Friends help friends." He said simply.
"I've never had anyone worry about me." Hiei said quietly.
"Then you never had very good friends before," Kurama smiled at him.
Hiei weakly returned it before climbing off and under the bed.
"Suuichi, Here's some soup and a thermometer to take tour temperature. I'll be back in a few minutes." She left.
"It's safe Hiei. Come here, I need you to take your tempature."
"My temperature?" He asked poking his head above the bed.
"Yes, you put the tip of it under your tougne and hold it there till it beeps and it'll tell us what your temperature is."
He took it and did as he was instructed.
"Wow, a 110! Hiei, what's your temperature normally?" Kurama asked.
Hiei sneezed "120,"
"Oh, so then you're below normal." He said "I think the medicine will work for that to..."
"Medicine?"
"Yes, it's pills that make you feel better."
"I don't need any of your human magic. I'll be just fine." Hiei growled.
"It's not magic Hiei," Kurama sighed "It's science."
"It's nonsense." He replied, pulling the blankets tighter.
Kurama sighed again "Well at least eat the soup then."
He took the bowl and sniffed it.
"Go on, it will warm you up."
"Do I have to use a spoon?" He asked, picking up the metal thing.
"Yes Hiei."
He glared at the spoon before carefully eating some of the soup.
"Any good?" Kurama asked.
"Hn. I'd rather have ice cream." He said, glaring at the soup.
Kurama laughed "But ice cream is cold. You need to warm up, not cool down!"
"Hn." Hiei forced down another couple of spoon fulls before his mother came back in.
"Oh dear, the temperature is already gone. What was it Suuichi?"
"It was normal. I think I'll be fine once I finish my soup. Thank you mother." Kurama smiled.
She returned it and left.
"Come on Hiei, finish your soup." Kurama said, peering over the side of the bed.
Hiei growled "Baka kitsune." And finished eating. "Do you have to leave tomorrow?"
"Hm? To go to school? Yes."
Hiei gave a soft snort of disgust. Why did humans have to go to school? And use forks? And spoons? What a stupid race.
"I'm going to the park after school Hiei. You could meet me there." Kurama said smiling. His friend was no doubt complaining to himself about all his dislikes of humans.
"Hn."
The red haired boy sat back against his headboard and watched his friend. He liked knowing Hiei. He was his own friend that he didn't have to share with anyone. Even though he had to hide Hiei from his mother, it made it exciting. Plus, Hiei was different, like him. He could relate to Hiei more then he could with any humans.
"What are you staring at, fox?"
Kurama jumped, startled from his thoughts "Oh, nothing Hiei. Done with your soup?"
"Hn." He answered, pushing away the bowl.
"Feeling better?"
"Hn."
Kurama laughed "So now you're mad at me for making you eat the soup?"
"Hn. Baka kitsune." Hiei said glaring at him. Kurama only laughed harder.
"But did it not warm you up like I said it would?" He asked, smirking.
Hiei's glare narrowed. "See you tomorrow fox." He growled before opening the window and jumping to the tree.
Kurama hurried to the window "Bye Hiei! Find some more trails we can hike on tomorrow!"
Hiei only nodded before he flitted away.
Kurama leaned against the window, enjoying the smell of the wet grass before turning and getting ready for the day.
