Kurama held Hiei to him and yelled his name once more. Hiei didn't respond. Thinking quickly Kurama picked Hiei up and went quickly to the nearby cave they were headed to. He laid Hiei down and moved to the bags they had brought along.
He looked through them and found the small boxes he was looking for. Kurama opened the first one and pulled out many plant leaves and stems.
He turned back to Hiei and took off his scarf. He places it over the wound, since it would not stop bleeding. Turning back to his plants he pulled out some seeds and collected what he needed. A few tears slid down his face and he wiped them away before they reached his cheek.
When he had took off Hiei's scarf he noticed how pale and cold he felt. Fire demons are always tan and warm. The thought of returning home crossed his mind but he pushed it away. Going home would mean that he didn't plan on Hiei making it. He had to take a deep breath, Hiei would be fine. He's made it though worse.
He was mixing everything things up when he turned to look back at Hiei. He looked paler and his lips were turning blue. "Damn it why did this have to happen now?" He whispered angry. He pulled out fire seeds and started a fire close to Hiei. He hoped it would provide some warmth for him.
He started working again. He was so mad and depressed he was losing his concentration. All the keep thinking was 'Why now?' and 'Why Hiei?' Of course Kurama got no answers in return. After he mixed what he could together he turned back to Hiei and slowly pulled back the scarf.
Once some of the wound was uncovered the blood started to flow freely. Grabbing the mix he spread it on the part of the wound he exposed. When the mix hit the wound Hiei moaned in pain. Kurama's tears came back but he wiped them away before they had a chance to fall.
"I'm so sorry Koi. I have to do this or you'll bleed to death." Kurama said. As if Hiei understood his words he stopped moaning and Kurama continued putting on the paste. Once he put the paste on the whole wound he wrapped it so the paste could start healing the wound.
Making sure he kept the fire going Kurama packed all the plants and seeds away before cleaning himself up. Putting a couple guard plants at the entrance of the cave he went to the near by stream to clean up. When he arrived back at the cave he put out some of his energy to the plants.
Immediately they moved apart allowing him in before closing back up. He checked on Hiei one more time before laying next to him and falling to sleep exhausted.
The next morning Kurama woke up and checked on Hiei. Hiei still hasn't woke up at all and Kurama was thinking that it might be another day or so before he does. Kurama got up and dressed. When he finished dressing he went to check Hiei's wound.
He unwrapped it and Hiei moaned in pain. He kept whispering apologizes to Hiei. Once the wound was unwrapped he noticed that the paste was doing it's job. It's job was to slow heal the skin back together and, once healed, it would leave a small red line or nothing at all.
With a heavy sigh and a heavy heart Kurama removed some of the paste. His eyes tried to focus on there task but Kurama kept looking up to Hiei's face and watching for any signs of pain.
When none came Kurama hurried to finish and than cleaned Hiei up and dressed him. Kurama knew he couldn't stay there another night, it just wasn't possible. The demon could be back to try and kill them again.
"Hiei, love, we have to leave here and get somewhere safer. I'm going to carry you and I just want you to relax and heal for me ok?" Kurama whispered and lifted Hiei onto his back. He knew Hiei would be upset that he did this but would deal with it when that happened.
