Child of a Forsaken Race Ch.4

Disclaimer- Don't own, don't sue, love Kuramama

Paige- I love Shyotan!!! I think he is so cute!!! Poison Death Tree also agrees that he sounds cute. If you've ever read Galaxy Angels, Shyotan looks like the price kid with Mint's ears... That's how cute he is!!! Nicole- Tell them the news (sighs very heavily and collapses in a seat) Paige- Oh yeah!! This may have a HieixKurama pairing, so Shyotan will be taken care of by the two of them, but if fans don't want that, tell me. Nicole- This is the only yaoi we might do... Paige- Nicole and Lyn don't approve of yaois. I do, but they don't. I think QuatrexTrowa, HeeroxDuo, and HieixKurama make great pairings. N & L- Shut up...

Ch.4- "You can't keep him Kurama. He's a demon and what'll happen when he grows up?" Kuwabara asked. Kurama hugged Shyotan against him. The child snuggled into Kurama, clinging onto the fox's shirt. Kurama stroked Shyotan's head.
"I don't care. I want to keep him!" Kurama shouted.
"He's not a dog or a pet. You can't just keep him because you want." Yusuke murmured. Kurama looked away.
"But, I want..." Shyotan gazed up at the red head.
"I want to stay with Ramama..." The child finally spoke up. Everyone looked at him.
"I like it here. I want to be with Ramama... I have no one else. Please let me stay." Shyotan begged, his large eyes staring deeply into Kurama's. Kurama made a little noise, the kind parents make when faced with tough decisions their kids place on them.
"No. 'Ramama' can't keep you. He is too busy." Hiei snapped. Shyotan's head whipped to face him, the white fluffy ears flattening.
"I. WANT. TO. STAY. WITH. RAMAMA..." Shyotan's eyes narrowed. Hiei felt funny. Suddenly, Hiei was slammed up against the ceiling, a crushing force upon his chest. Shyotan's eyes glazed red and blue energy surrounded the child.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! PSYCHIC!!!!!!!!!!!" Kuwabara screamed. Hiei felt a rib crack.
"KURAMA!!!!!! GET HIM TO STOP!!!!!!" Yusuke yelled, trying to reach the floating Koorime and pull him down. Kurama grabbed Shyotan and roughly shook the child.
"STOP!!!!! IF YOU WANT TO STAY WITH ME, YOU CAN'T KILL MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kurama yelled. Instantly, Hiei crashed down into Yusuke. The two laid there, one dazed and the other injured. Shyotan buried into Kurama, clutching onto Kurama's shirt.
"I'm so sorry Ramama... Don't hurt me. I'm sorry..." Shyotan cried. Kurama, instantly contrite, hugged Shyotan, placing his cheek on top of the kid's head.
"Shhhhhh... It's okay. I'm sorry I yelled at you..." Kurama cooed, rocking back and forth. Hiei, silently cursing the child, sat up, holding his side.
"What type of demon can do that? I was using all of my ki to try and override his power." Hiei whispered.
"That was insane." Kuwabara muttered. Kurama looked at Hiei, who glared at him.
"I need to keep him..." Kurama said. Finally, the three agreed. ---------------------------------------Two days later----------------------- ----------------------------
Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara were calmly walking down the road to Kurama's house. When a red-haired figure ran down the opposite sidewalk. The figure was carrying a blanket, which was holding a small body.
"Isn't that Kurama?" Yusuke asked.
"Yeah, but why is he carrying someone?" Kuwabara murmured.
"I think it's that kid..." Hiei said. The three turned around and ran after the fleeing form. Kurama seemed to be heading towards Genkai's temple. Yusuke called out to him. Kurama kept running. The three ran faster to keep up. Hiei vanished, reappearing next to Kurama. The fox screamed and almost fell over. He caught his balance and, without a word, sped off again. They caught up with Hiei. Kuwabara fell on his butt, panting.
"I know he saw me. He's ignoring us for some reason." Hiei reported.
"Well, at least we know where he's going." Yusuke said. Kuwabara laid down, still trying to catch his breath. The other two ran off.
"Wait up!!!" Kuwabara yelled. He clambered to his feet and followed.
Soon, they reached the Temple of Genkai. Yusuke stopped outside the door, exhausted. Hiei looked a little winded. After all, Kurama lived the furthest away from Genkai and they had almost reached his house. After a short rest, they burst in at once. The temple seemed quiet, but suddenly, a child's cry broke through the silence. They ran towards the sound and flung open another door. Kurama turned quickly, his face scrunched up with worry.
"What's wrong?" Kuwabara yelled.
"Shyotan has an infection. Plus he's sick." Kurama said. The child let out that unearthly roar again. Yukina screamed from her place against the wall. Kuwabara ran over to comfort her. She held onto Kuwabara, crying into him. Hiei walked around Kurama and saw Shyotan's frail body lying on a bed. The child's face, from one ear to the next and covering a very narrow part of his face, was red from fever. Kurama was holding Shyotan's hand. Genkai was trying to sedate Shyotan, but the child's body kept rising off of the bed.
"Hold him down!" Genkai shouted. Hiei placed a firm hand on Shyotan's chest and pushed the kid back down. This time Genkai was able to inject a green liquid into Shyotan's arm. Shyotan's mouth opened and he roared again. Yukina screamed. Hiei felt dizzy, the same feeling he got when Shyotan forced him up against the ceiling. He was flung away from Shyotan by the weird force, Genkai slamming against the other wall. Kurama cried out as the two were torn away. Shyotan roared once more. Glass shattered, windows broke, and ki flew everywhere. Hiei's head felt like it exploded. Kuwabara collapsed. Yusuke shrieked and Yukina lapsed into unconsciousness. Kurama felt an unknown power surging through him. A scream forced its way out of his mouth. Shyotan's eyes went blank and his head rolled to one side. The child was unconscious. Kurama fell over. Botan ran in worried. She saw Kurama on the ground and rushed to his side.
"What the Hell was that?" Yusuke cried when his voice returned. Kurama's eyes were huge. He looked horrified. He sat on his hands and knees, staring at the floor.
"Kurama?" Botan kneeled before him. Kurama looked up at her and threw himself into Botan arms.
"OH GOD!!!!!!" Kurama screeched. "I saw his memories. God, they were awful..." Botan stroked Kurama's hair gently, rubbing her cheek against her friend's hair.
"It's alright now Kurama. Stop crying..." Botan whispered into Kurama's head.
"Ouch... YUKINA!!!!!!" Kuwabara hugged her. Yukina looked up and smiled weakly.
"I need a long nap. Goodnight." She fell asleep. Genkai sat up.
"If anyone needs a nap, it's Kurama." She whispered. She approached the fox, who had buried his head back into Botan, still faintly crying. Kurama looked at her.
"When was the last time you got some sleep? You have dark circles under your eyes." Genkai said.
"Two nights ago. Shyotan was getting sick and I kept staying awake to take care of him..." Kurama replied. He rubbed his eyes.
"Go into a guest room and sleep. Immediately." Genkai ordered, but as Kurama left, a whimper came from Shyotan.
"Ramama... Don't leave me... Please..." the child begged. Kurama halted. He turned.
"I'm just going to bed Shy. I'll be back in the morning. I swear." Kurama replied. He walked out. Shyotan rolled, a huge bloodstain on his back. Hiei gasped.
"No wonder he was screaming. Here he is bleeding and we had him on his back." Hiei said.
"I'll take care of chiblit over there. You guys take care of your ailing fox. He could get sick as well." Genkai retorted. The others nodded and left to take care of Kurama, who had fallen asleep in the hallway and had to be carried into a bed.

End of Chapter 4 Paige- Originally, I had made Hiei hold Kurama, but I changed it because a fan disagreed with a HieixKurama pairing for this fic, so I changed it. I really didn't see how romance would fit in this fic anyway... Construction is over so it's safe to read now.
