The Greater Challenge
Kuwabara gasped as the vines released him. He pulled off his shoes and socks, wincing. His feet had turned blue from lack of blood... Unlike his arms. They were covered in red.
He glared balefully up at the fox demon. Kurama's face gave away nothing, but he knelt and began to examine Kuwabara: he dabbed something onto the welts the vines had left, bandaged the cuts Kuwabara had sustained in the fight...
Touch gentle, eyes narrowed and clear, long red hair a wave falling off his shoulder...
Kuwabara didn't know what the greater challenge was: fighting Kurama... or resisting him.
