Hey. I know that all of you were not expecting the doctor to be the bad guy. Actually neither did I. It puts a twist in the plot that I hadn't really thought about. A lot of you thought it was a great idea and you weren't expecting it. I believe only one was against it, or just thought it was sort of out of the blue, which I agree... it was. But most of you just said that it's a great chapter, and loved it, like usual. Originally I was going to make Shiori be the one that tried to kill herself, but realized that I had changed her character so much already, because she'd never be that much against her son in real life, so I decided not to have her do it.

So I thank all of you for your reviews... again. :)


Hiei knew the fox was right. He'd easily be able to catch the doctor, and within moments, Hiei caught up to the black corvet. The roof was down, so Hiei jumped into the air and landed smoothly in the passenger seat. He had moved so fast passerbys wouldn't have been able to see him, though he hoped no one was looking while he suddenly stopped and appeared in the seat.

"Pull over!" Hiei demanded.

Dr. Kurokawa whipped his head towards Hiei and almost swerved into the next lane with surprise. "What the...? How did...?" he stammered, fear re-entering his eyes. "Get out!" he simply demanded after the stun.

"Not until you pull over. Do it now or I'll make you."

"You can't make me!" Hiei knew the doctor said that more to comfort himself then to intimidate the demon next to him.

"Oh yeah?" Hiei challenged, sliding from the passenger seat into the middle until he was touching the doctor.

"Get away from me!" he shouted. The car swerved slightly as Dr. Kurokawa tried to push the smaller boy away from him.

"You're going to get people killed!" Hiei noted angrily, but soon found out that he didn't care. This man tried to kill his best friend's mother. He would have nothing of it. In a flash, Hiei undid the doctor's seatbelt, grabbed his shirt, and yanked him over his head. He saw a young girl in the car next to them stare with wide eyes as they passed.

The doctor was slammed against the door, injuring his shoulder. "You son-of-a-bitch!" he growled, and was about to attack Hiei, but Hiei was faster, and clobbered his head with his fist. The doctor was knocked unconcious. Suddenly Hiei realized that he was in the driver's seat of a moving car. Kurama had only taught him the basics of driving: gas on the right, break on the left, the blinker, and how to steer. The fox had not taught him any more because Hiei had thought it was pointless. When would he need to know this stuff!God dammit! This is what I get for being so stubborn! Hiei screamed at himself.

If he could get to the side of the road, he could run the car into the ditch, call Kurama, then beat up the doctor once he woke up.

Okay... let's see here... blinker. Hiei absolutely despised the fact that he was finding the ningen contraption usful. Well I could just escape and let the doctor get killed... but that would endager others on the road as well. Now that the doctor was unconcious, Hiei's honor code would not let him put innocent lives at risk. He turned the left blinker on, waited until no other cars were in the way, then slowly and carefully, turned the wheel. Once he was in the other lane, he moved onto the side of the road, then onto the grass, then down into the shallow ditch. The ride was bumpy, but he got there safely. He could feel the heat of people staring as he pulled the doctor out of the car and out onto the grass on the side of the car that people on the road couldn't see. Then he contacted Kurama.

Kurama! The fricken doctor's unconcious. Can I kill him?

No Hiei! Do you want to be charged with murder too? came Kurama's immediate reply.

He hasn't been charged with murder yet. He didn't even kill the woman.

It doesn't matter. Where are you? Personally I don't want to get the police involved.

I thought you went to call them, Hiei wondered.

I did, but couldn't. They always ask questions, and some of those questions we may not be able to answer, considering who we are and what we've done.

Hiei sighed. True. Fine, I'm by an Iwaki Sushi place," Hiei replied, reading a sign through the trees lining the opposite side of the road. It's across a busy street.

Oh I know where you are, Kurama replied after a few moments of thinking.

I'm in the ditch with the doctor's car and him.

Okay I'll be right there. If someone stops to see if you're okay or just want to help or offer to call the police... anything like that... treaten them. ne?

Hmm... fine with that, Hiei replied happily. Just hurry up.

Will do. Kurama broke the communication link and set off at a run in the direction the doctor had driven off. He ran along the ditch that lined the road, until he saw a car in the ditch up ahead. That must be him, he thought. He sped up. He had run almost five miles, yet was not tired at all. He reached Hiei and the doctor. He was just regaining conciousness.

"Okay doc!" Hiei threatened once he was fully awake. He yanked his collar and brought him up to face him. "You'll speak nothing of this to anyone. If we find out you did, we'll track you down and kill you with our bare hands!"

Dr. Kurokawa didn't answer, just laughed nervously. "You can't do that."

"Wanna bet?" Kurama added, balling his hands into fists. "And we have the power to murder you, and not get arrested by the police."

"I don't think so Shuichii. They'll catch you."

"Not if we threaten them like we're threatening you," Hiei mentioned, and in a flash, punched the doctor straight in the cheek, causing him to fly back. A piece of the shirt still in Hiei's hand, where it had ripped since Hiei hadn't let go. Dr. Kurokawa stared wide-eyed at him, his lip and nose bleeding. "What the...?"

"Got it? We have the power to kill you with our bare hands," Kurama repeated.

"Yeah, I got it." The doctor was shaking with fear.

"C'mon lets get out of here fox."

Kurama nodded, climbing onto Hiei's back, who's strong arms easily held him up. "Remember doctor. You tell...you die," Kurama said one last time before Hiei flitted off.

I wonder if he'll return to the hospital," Kurama wondered as they sped towards the fox's home.

Hiei shrugged. "Like I'd care. As long as that bitch doesn't try to do anything more to your mother."

Kurama laughed. "I don't think we're going to have a problem with that. Do you think he'll want to mess with us after a treat like that?"
