Another fairly quick update! Unfortunatly I think this is going to be my last quick update for awhile because school is starting up again after tomorrow. I don't think this chapter is anything great, but then again I don't think much of my writting is (opposite from what my reviewers say). Thanks to everyone who's reviewed! I called this chapter Doctor Hiei for lack of a better name. Please review and enjoy it!

Chapter 4: Doctor Hiei
So you have no idea who this could be? Yusuke asked.
No. I just know that he wants revenge on me, Kurama answered. He had just repeated his whole tale, while they fixed up his arm. Sometimes very painfully.
Hold on this is going to hurt, Hiei interrupted, and poured some peroxide on the cut. Kurama let out a yell the second it seeped into his wound.
I hate that stuff, he said.
You don't want it to get infected. And Hiei your SUCH a wonderful doctor! Where ever did you learn? Yusuke said in a mother imitation. Perfectly done, right down to the waving finger and voice. Hiei shot a small glare at him. So what are we going to do? This guy can get to you no matter what, he said going back to normal.
And if your pinned you can't really do anything to protect yourself, Kuwabara said.
Hey, when's your mom getting back? Yusuke asked. Kurama froze. His mother? He had forgotten what to do about her return. If she ever saw this...
I don't know. She left on business the day before yesterday and said she didn't know when she'd be back, he said, but if she knew this was happening she'd go into a panic.
Yeah, she would huh? Oh well, if she gets back before this is all over then we'll just hide you at one of our homes, Yusuke looked over at what Hiei was doing, almost done?
How does it look?
How do you think it looks? It's very deep under his shoulder, the whole cut isn't as bad though. The initial thrust went almost clear through your arm, and your lucky it missed the bone. It was very close. You can still use it but I wouldn't recommend it, the wound could break open again before it's healed if you push it too far. Your also lucky it was your left arm, since you always battle with your right, Hiei told, turning his explanation to Kurama.
Doctor Hiei to the rescue! Yusuke announced proudly.
Go get some more bandages Carrot Top, Hiei ordered when he finished stitching up his arm.
But you have some! Kuwabara complained.
It needs to be wrapped more then once over, Hiei said. Kuwabara walked off grumpily muttering about being the fire demon being lazy.
Do you think he'll attack you again before your healed Kurama? Yusuke asked.
I'm not sure. He wants me to suffer as much as possible, so maybe.
We can't protect you in your head, that's the only problem. And you can't fight as well if your hurt.
Demons can't enter your mind completely, just manipulate it. They still have a physical form in another location, Hiei added.
So all we need to do is find out where he is and kill him? Yusuke asked. Hiei nodded and started wrapping Kurama's arm in the cloth.
He's most likely in the Makai somewhere near a gate between the worlds if he can be so effective. He can attack at any time he wants though, which puts us at the disadvantage, Kurama said.
We're always at the damn disadvantage, Yusuke replied, It won't matter if you goes to sleep anymore. Since this can happen anytime.
What happened while I was being attacked? Kurama was curious as to how his body reacted to the
Um, you put your hand on your head, then leaned back on the wall when your eyes closed. We were trying to wake you up when you screamed and your sleeve tore and started bleeding. Then the rest of the cut appeared and you were still yelling. We were trying to get you under control because you keep struggling. Kuwabara came back with some of the stuff we needed and he held your arm while Hiei got to work and I held the rest of you down. Most of the time you were moaning for help and struggling. Then you snapped out of it, shot forward, and grabbed your arm, Yusuke explained.
Everything that was happening in my mind was happening here, Kurama told himself.
Yeah. We'll just stay the night if you don't mind. In case anything happens, Yusuke finished and Kurama nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurama had found two sleeping bags on his search for somewhere for the rest of the boys to sleep, and decided two would have to be on the ground while one got the couch downstairs.
After a few rounds of rock paper scissors between Yusuke and Kuwabara, everything was set. Kurama was going to stay in his room, Hiei just out side it with Yusuke, and Kuwabara down stairs. On the couch. All of them except Hiei and Kurama got to sleep quickly, and Kurama was out by midnight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurama, HOW did you figure out the area I'm in? the demon said harshly, why do you have to figure out everything? Doesn't it bother you? Kurama realized he was now standing upright bound to a tree by rope before he said anything. Still next to the ocean, clear night.
Who's getting under who's skin now? Kurama replied mockingly.
You really don't want me to take that literally do you? the demon replied evilly. Kurama mentally cringed at the thought of it, but stayed silent. That friend of yours, Hiei was his name? Did a good job here... the demon cut off the sleeve of Kurama's school uniform with his blade was ran his fingers down the bandages, Very tight and smooth so it would not bleed.
Your point please? Kurama was becoming sullen with this monster.
Don't test me boy. I control the fate of your life no matter what those friends of yours think, the demon said.
You may think you control my life and have discovered everything about me, but you know nothing of my friends. Even if you do manage to murder me they will only search harder. And when they find you they will kill you, Kurama said.
I know they are searching for me now. As soon as dawn breaks you are setting out to find me. You'll be dead before you get there. I'll even give you a parting gift since I am so gracious, he replied, and took Kurama's wounded arm. He winced as the demon cut letters into his forearm with the knife. They began bleeding quickly, but the cuts weren't deep enough to cause much harm. The demon held up his work in front of Kurama. In crudely written letters was the word Nobuaki.'
Your so kind, Kurama hissed, his voice brimming with sarcasm.
I know. I hope you appreciate my name in the same way I loathe yours, he smirked at Kurama's glares, We're almost done for tonight Kurama, stop being so irritable. You should enjoy your last days in this world.
I'm supposed to enjoy being slashed every few hours?
Yes. I'm letting you live aren't I? Nobuaki replied.
Not for long
Fair enough. I haven't harmed your loved ones yet, he said with a smirk and an evil glint in his eye. Kurama expression turned cold as ice.
If you touch them I don't care if I am dead, I will come back and destroy you my- Kurama's rage was cut short by his own cry of pain. The Fox's blood streamed from the wound in his right shoulder.
I'd like to see you try. You may have evaded death once, Kurama, but not again, Nobuaki taunted, and wrenched the knife out of his body.
