Because She Died
Dane Soar
In the original story, Kurama fell from the top of a hospital, after the railing he was leaning on broke, and ended up on pretty bad shape. Later a realized that a fall like that probably wouldn't do much to a demon, unless there were some extenuating circumstances. You could say this is the recantation of that scene.
Reviewers, thank you so much, I love to hear what you have to say!
Part 3
--------------------------------------------
Yusuke looked down at the kitsune at his feet. He was sliced up something good from the window-glass and there might be some internal injuries, but as far as he could tell, Kurama would live.
"Even a three story fall doesn't do much for a demon." Yusuke commented, he knelt, careful of the glass, to brush away some of the loose shards that had fallen on the kitsune's face.
"He's already healing," explained Hiei, prodding at a cut. "Which is why he's unconscious. These aren't fatal wounds."
"How long will he be out?"
"A few hours, a few days. I have no idea."
Rising to his feet Yusuke dusted off his knees. "Come on Hiei, I need something a little more accurate than that."
Glowering at him, Hiei snapped. "How would I know? Each demon heals at their own rate. Slow, fast, instantaneously, it varies."
"Fine, fine. But get him out of here, okay? We need to speed up the whole waking up process. Maybe Yukina or Botan can help. Because if Kurama didn't actually hurt that human inside, we need to know now, so Koenma won't try to arrest him. I want to see how Kuwabara's managing at the hospital. Can you manage with Kurama? Get him somewhere safe and get a healer to him?"
Any other day, Hiei probably would have disappeared in a black blur and a annoyed 'huh', leaving Yusuke to deal with it, but under these circumstances Hiei simply nodded.
"Thanks," was all Yusuke spared time for before he jogged off in search of Kuwabara.
--------------------------------------------
Hiei wasn't familiar with Human World and there were few places he knew how to find easily. He finally gave up and dragged Kurama to the first place he could think of.
The kitsune's own home.
The downstairs was a wreck, trashed by the gang and still containing Shiori's body, but Hiei put Kurama upstairs, in his room, being careful to close the door behind him. If Kurama woke to the smell of blood, who knew what he'd do?
Settling down on a chair, Hiei watched Kurama.
The appropriate call had been made to the temple and Yukina was already on the way. There was nothing else he could do. Kurama was already healing, even though he wouldn't wake and probably couldn't for a while.
Healing coma, or actual coma?
He didn't know enough about the way human bodies worked to tell.
