Love for Hiei Part 19

Kurama, Shizuru, and Botan decided to accompany me when I went to visit Kazuma in the hospital. All I could think about was how he tried helping those children when the situation was so dangerous. Kurama smiled slightly as he sensed how nervous I was.
"No need to worry, Yukina. Kuwabara will be just fine. He's survived much worse than this before."
"I know. I'm just hoping his wound wasn't too serious."
Botan pointed to the hospital as it came into view.
"There it is, guys."
"My baby brother better be okay in there."
"Relax, Shizuru. Like I told Yukina, Kuwabara has survived worse than this before. He'll pull through, you'll see."
I approached the information desk and looked carefully at the receptionist.
"My friends and I are looking for Kazuma Kuwabara. He was one of the victims of the drive-by shooting at the park yesterday."
"Let's see here...ah, here he is. He's on the 3rd floor in room 311. Go on up, and I'll let his doctor know you're coming to see him."
Getting to the 3rd floor didn't take too long, and my nervousness grew as I saw Kazuma's doctor outside of his door. Shizuru approached him, eyes narrowed.
"How's my brother?"
"Well, his wounds weren't life threatening."
My nervousness vanished as I heard these words. It made me happy to know Kazuma was okay. I looked up at the doctor and smiled.
"What happened?"
"The bullet hit him in his abdomen, but it missed his vitals. We had to perform surgery to retrieve the bullet, and he had to have stitches put into place to seal the wound."
"Will he have a scar?"
"A small one, but yes. I'll let him know you're here."
He entered Kazuma's room and I turned to Shizuru, who looked just as pleased as I was.
"I can't believe it, Shizuru. Kazuma's okay."
"Kurama did say he survived worse than this before."
Botan sighed with relief and smiled.
"At least the wound wasn't too serious. I must go tell Koenma. I'll see you back at the mansion."
A portal was summoned and she walked through it. I looked up as the doctor emerged from Kazuma's room.
"Which one of you is Yukina?"
"Um, that's me."
"I told him who was here and he said he wanted to see you. Go on in."
With that, the doctor left. I looked up at Shizuru and she smirked at me.
"Go on in and see him. Kurama and I will be waiting out here."
I walked into the room to see Kazuma sitting up in his bed, looking at me with his trademark smile.
"Hey, Yukina! Come on in!"
I shut the door behind me and sat in the chair beside his bed. I took his hand and smiled.
"How are you feeling, Kazuma?"
"Eh, okay, I guess. A little sore, but I'm fine. Sucks that I'm gonna have a scar, though."
"Have you heard about the other victims?"
"Yeah, this morning. The two adults and that little girl pulled through, too. Their injuries weren't life threatening either. The creep responsible turns out to be a demon wanting revenge on me and the team for turning him during one of our cases. Koenma already took care of him."
"Oh, that's great. When will you be able to leave?"
"My doctor says I can later this afternoon, if I wanted to."
"Okay. I'll send in Kurama and Shizuru. I'm going to contact my brother."
"Sure. Yukina?"
I looked back at him and he smiled while putting a hand to my face.
"This wound I got, it was worth it because you're okay."
"Kazuma, that's so sweet. I'll be back soon."
After I sent Kurama and Shizuru into Kazuma's room, I pulled out my communicator and managed to get a hold of Hiei.
"Hiei, I have news on Kazuma."
"What's up, then?"
"His injuries, as well as the victims' injuries, weren't life threatening. The bullet missed Kazuma's vitals and they had to perform surgery to remove it, but he'll only get a small scar."
"Hn. Looks like the moron did something right for a change."
I smiled, knowing my brother really was thankful that nothing happened to me.
"How is your honeymoon going?"
"At sea right now. We're supposed to arrive in Juneau, Alaska tomorrow morning."
"Where's everyone else?"
"Yusuke and I are sitting in a bar right now while the girls check out one of the gift shops. We're meeting here before we go to lunch."
"I'm glad everyone's having a good time. Did you and Mai enjoy your wedding night?"
Hiei smirked as I winked at him, then looked behind him to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
"Yes, Yukina.I marked her, too."
"Is she okay?"
"She's fine. The mark is still a bit sore because it's fairly new, but I told her that doesn't last long."
"I have to go, Hiei."
"Tell them I said hello."
I smiled as the image of my brother disappeared. As I rejoined everyone in Kazuma's room, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Knowing he was okay made me really happy, and that he'll be able to survive anything because of his strength and determination.
That's a wrap for part 19. Kazuma, as well as the other shooting victims, survived the night and have made a full recovery. Part 20 will begin in Hiei's POV right after he finished his talk with his sister. Also in part 20, Yusuke gets a surprise call from Kuwabara through his communicator right after he was brought home to the mansion. Stay tuned to see what happens
