I'm writing this story to take a break from the serious tragedy I am right now working on. So this one should be more amusing (I hope I could make it so as I am a rather serious person). ************************************************************************

Kurama's POV

I heard a rustling of branches, and felt a familiar but unusually weak youki landing on my windowsill. I turned and saw a rather bloody Hiei sitting limp on the floor, not even having the strength to life himself.

"What happened?! How did you get hurt?" I demanded pretty anxiously, knowing that it must have been a class S and above youkai to defeat Hiei so badly. I rushed over and checked out the injuries. He had too many cuts to count, four broken ribs, a couple of fractures, and an especially deep wound in the inner part of his thigh.

"Hn. Just get to work, baka kitsune."

I carried him to lie on the bed while I went to get the first aid kit and some of my precious Makai plant seeds.

"Why didn't you go to Yukina? She could heal you even better," I asked in a teasing way, feeling special actually that he had come to me.

"Shut up."

After a few hours of hard work bandaging the small cuts, it was time to heal the main wound. His pants were rolled up to a level that normal people would have been too shy to do it, but he seemed not to care a bit.

I mixed some of the herbs and cleaned the cut with a wet towel first. He flinched a little, and gave a low hiss. Wasn't that cute? What was I thinking?! I pasted some of the herbs, causing him to jerk his leg away.

"What are you doing?" he shouted angrily and glared daggers at me.

"Sorry, but does that hurt so much? Bear with it for a while, and the wound would heal in no time," I comforted and gave a sweet smile. When had I become so mushy around the fire demon?

"Who said that it hurt?" he muttered, a small blush rose onto his face, obviously embarrassed for his outburst which stated his pain. Seeing that kawaii face, I felt like leaning over and taste the flushed cheeks. Well, I couldn't help thinking that way. Anyone would feel the same if they saw Hiei's face now, but I guess he would only act this way in front of me. Too bad. Adorable, adorable Hiei-chan.

"Be still and it won't sting so much," I said as an evil idea popped into my mind. "I am kind enough to give you free treatment so be quiet," suddenly changing my tone to a sort of complaining type. The idea was getting clearer by the second and I was beginning to activate it.

"There are many youkai out there having a better healing skill than you," he said with a smirk.

"Then why did you come to me? To purposely feel more pain?" I knew I was winning the little bicker, and soon, he would be falling into my trap. Hehehe. I'm turning evil, but who cares as long as the plan would work, then.

"You know, I should really charge you for my services," I continued pretending to carefully consider what I had said.

"Hn. What do you want?" he challenged and I knew he was thinking that I was trying to give him a difficult task to test his powers. How wrong could he be.

"Well, I know that stealing normal treasures won't be a trifle to you, so I want you to act in a certain way for two weeks. Dare to take my offer? I don't mind if you don't but I would still cure you." Giving him alternatives would only prompt him to agree.

"Ch, just name it."

I tied a final knot on the bandage and started tidying the stuff. "For this time, you must not pull away from me every time I touch you." I noticed his eyes widening a bit, surprised at my weird request.

"I didn't expect you to give such an easy job."

"And also, don't think about disappearing from my sight in this two weeks, it's for your own good too. I could watch over your injuries."

"Fine."

I went over and wrapped my arms around his firm torso and rested my head on his shoulder, carefully avoiding his new cuts. I sensed him tensing up and started to struggle out of my embrace.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Remember you can't pull away," I warned, inhaling his scent, making my heart flutter, and taking advantage of the just made vow. It felt so good, much better than I had imagined, his firm muscles, well toned body.My plan was working so smoothly, only that I wished it would go at faster pace, and I could taste him much sooner.

"What the hell are you doing, Kurama." He growled in my ear, sending a tinkle down my spine. He sounded dangerous, so I let go, not wanting to really annoy him. Maybe I should take it slower, don't force him too hard, you know.

"Is this what you want?" He squinted at me, a blush tinted his ivory coloured cheeks, making him look so much younger. Somehow I hoped that he had not encountered the horrible things in his past, but if so, it would not make him who he was today, and perhaps I would not be attracted to him. So complicated.

"You are not to leave here tonight, not in your conditions, and I definitely won't let my patient sleep on the floor," and I gently set him on the bed and took a place beside him. Lightly draping my arm around his waist, I felt him tense up again, but soon overtook by fatigue, and fell asleep. Using one of my plants, I turned off the light.

"Goodnight, Hiei," I whispered in his ear, waiting eagerly for the next day to come, for another day when I could draw the distance between us closer.
