----Chapter Ten----
Kurama knelt down next to Hiei who growled slightly at him.
"Hiei, I need to take a look at your leg." Kurama said in a calmly, causing Hiei to narrow his eyes slightly at him. After a moment he turned his head away with a soft 'Hn'.
Taking that as permission, Kurama rolled up his friend's pant leg to inspect the damage. Looking it over quickly he was relieved to see that the bone had not broken the skin, but his leg was badly bruised. "This is going to hurt." He said as a warning as he started to inspect the leg to find where the fractures were located.
After a couple of minutes Kurama sat back a started to rummage threw his pack. "It seems that the bone has been fractured in at least three places." He said as he took out a small pouch, a cup and a small canteen. "Hiei, I am going to have to put a splint on your leg." He said as he took some seeds out of the pouch. He placed them on the ground next to him and they immediately started to grow. "Shippo, could you come here for a moment?"
"Sure, what is it?" Shippo asked has he bounded his way over to the older kitsune.
Kurama smiled as the little kits enthusiasm. "Can you go into the woods and get me four branches from the hard-wood trees that we passed that are this long," he said holding his hands about a foot apart, "and this thick." He said making a circle with his fingers about the size of a half-dollar. "Can you do that for me?"
"Okay!" Shippo said as he scampered into the trees.
"Kirara, go with him in case he needs help." Sango said.
With a quick meow of understanding, Kirara raced after the little kit.
"Save your doctoring for someone who needs it." Hiei growled as he glared at Kurama.
"You do need it you arrogant little kooromie." Inuyasha said from his spot in the grass a few yards away.
"I'm Fine!" Hiei spat back.
"Yeah, and pigs can fly!"
"Children!!" Kurama said in exasperation.
"Feh."
"Hn."
Kurama rested his head in his hand for a moment as he tried to fight the headache that he felt coming on. "Must you act so childish?" He asked softly.
"Feh, don't look at me. He's the one with the problem."
"Why you..."
"ENOUGH!!" Kurama yells as he nearly loses his temper. "I am done baby sitting the two of you!" He looks sharply at Hiei. "I realize that you have had a lot on your mind lately Hiei, but that does not excuse your behavior. We are in alliance with Inuyasha and we all need to be ready for when we face Naraku. He is going to be a tough opponent and we cannot afford to have anyone injured because of their own stupidity." He then turns to Inuyasha. "And I need you to just give him some space."
"Whatever." Inuyasha said dismissively as he turns to face the tree line.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Kurama turns back to Hiei. "Now I need you to drink this." He said as he as he filled the cup with water and added a few leaves from the plants that he had grown along with a small amount of a white powdery substance (its not what you think ;). "This will help with the pain and it will also put you to sleep for a little while."
"I don't think so."
"Fine. You can be awake while I reset your leg then." Kurama said as he started to adjust the position of Hiei's leg, causing him to wince noticeably.
"Fine. Give me the damn drink." Hiei growls. Kurama smirks slightly, "I knew you would see things my way Hiei." He said as he handed the cup to him.
Hiei just glares at him as he takes the cup and drinks it. He puts the cup down and promptly passes out.
"What exactly did you give him?" Miroku asked curiously.
Kurama chuckled softly. "Well, I gave him some khamai, a potent herb used in the Maki to put people to sleep and the powder was salicylic acid, commonly known in our era as aspirin." He said smiling as Yusuke started to laugh along with everyone else.
After a couple more minutes of small talk Shippo came back with Kirara right behind him. "Here you go Kurama." Shippo said as he placed the branches down next to the older kitsune who picked them up and inspected them.
"Very good Shippo. These will work just fine." He said as he smiled at the kit next to him. "Would you like me to teach you how to set a broken bone?" He asked.
"Sure!" Shippo said excitedly causing Kurama to chuckle.Present Time: Koenma's Office, Spirit World
Koenma we sitting in his chare looking at the blank screen in front of him in shock. He had just watched Yusuke and the others fight Saseru and had witnessed Kagura's speech as well. 'I hope Yusuke and the others can handle this case.' He thought a little dismayed. He had been a little surprise about how much power a couple jewel shards could give a relatively weak demon like Saseru, but Kagura was a different matter all together. 'I can't believe how strong she is, and she is just an incarnation!' After another moment he turned to the blue ogre that was standing bye his desk with a serious expression. "Gorge, go get me some tea. Black with two sugars." He said.
"Yes, Koenma Sir, right away." Gorge said as he scurried out of the office.
As soon as the door had closed, Koenma took out a communicator from his desk drawer. As he opened the communicator, the screen went from black, to blue and gave off a very slight humming noise as it worked. After a moment an older woman's face was seen on the screen.
"What is it Koenma?" The old woman asked.
"Genkai, I need you to do me a favor. I am transmitting the information that I currently have on Yusuke's current case along with the footage of his most recent battle to you. It's a lot more serious than I had expected....
"In another words you need me to save his sorry ass." Genkai interrupted.
Koenma let out a small sigh, "Basically."
"So when am I leaving?"
"In a couple of days. Be prepared for a lot of camping, your going to be going to Feudal Japan, I need you to work on some battle strategies with them." With that said he closed the communicator, ending his transmission. Leaning back into his chair this thoughts started to drift back to his spirit detective team. 'Well, I suppose I should let Botan know, and see how Hiei is.' He thought as he opened the communicator once again. After a short pause, Botan's image flashed onto the screen.
"Hello, Botan here!" She said cheerfully.
"Botan how's Hiei?" Koenma asked anxiously.
"Hey Koenma. Kurama just finished splinting his leg. Thankfully it's just his lower leg and not his knee or anything, but Kurama said that the bone was broken is several different places." She replied seriously.
"How long is he going to be out of commission?" He asked.
"Well, we'll be staying at that village that we went threw for the next two days before we head back to Kaede's village. Kurama says that he should be fully healed by the time we get there." She replied.
"Four day's huh? He should have been paying more attention to the battle and not arguing with Inuyasha." Koenma said.
"Well you know how Hiei gets sometimes. He won't be arguing with anyone for a while though. Kurama gave him something for the pain and he also gave him some herbs to put him to sleep. I think Kurama was worried that Hiei would try to kill someone while he set his leg." Botan said, giggling a little.
"There's one other thing Botan." Koenma said, giving the blue haired girl a serious look.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Once you get back to Kaede's, let me know. I need you to come back to the present."
"Sure, we are going to need supplies any way but could you tell me why?"
"I need you to get Genkai."Feudal Era: A Fog Covered Castle Deep in the Mountains
Kagura walked down the halls of the castle. All was quiet except for the slight swish of her kimono. She stopped outside one of the many doors and slid it open.
"Here are the jewel shards." She said as she walked into the room.
"Good. You have proven your loyalty. You may go." Naraku said as he took the shards from Kagura. As she turned, she noticed her sister Kanna standing in the corner. She was standing by a table that held a large pot that was glowing a reddish-purple color.
"Oh, and Kagura" Naraku said as she started to leave the room "my newest offspring will be read soon." He smirked as he saw her back stiffen at the underlying threat of being replaced.
She quickly left the room, closing the door quietly behind her. 'Bastard. I am not your lap dog that you can tell to go fetch....someday Naraku, I will get my heart from you and when I do, you will pay dearly!' She thought as she headed down the hallway to her room.
So, what did you think? Please review.
