Daddy Did it

All right, all right I’ll update! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten reviews wanting an update so bad! And I just read the most disturbing book ever written. “A Child Called ‘it’.” Oooh! That book pissed me off so bad I was ready to throw it across the room!

Hiei-But then you picked it right back up again.

Yusuke- Why did you hit *me* with it?

Because you were calling me a baby! But it did give me a few new ideas…*gives an evil look to Kuwa*

Chapter 3

Two hours had gone by sense the doctor’s had taken away the child to take care of her wound. Yusuke had thrown himself onto the carpeted floor and screamed and sobbed for his baby. Now he was crying softly into Kurama’s shoulder, who held him tightly with tears on his own face.

Hiei stood beside them, looks of rage and confusion mixed on his face. “How could this have happened?” he asked, to no one in particular. “How did he even find him in the first place?”

Neither Kurama nor Yusuke could answer him. They’d been asking themselves those very same questions.

“I told you, we should’ve taken him to Genkais’! This never would’ve happed if we had!” Yusuke yelled accusingly. He angrily pulled himself out from Kurama’s embrace to pace the room.

“Yusuke, he still would’ve found him. People like that…once they set their sights on something-“

“-or someone.” Put in Hiei.

Kurama glanced at him and continued. “- then nothing will stop them until they’ve got it.”

“I’ll kill him. I swear I’m gonna hunt him down and kill him. After what he did to Kuwabara…” Yusuke stopped for a moment, trying to collect himself. He stared intently at the beige carpet of the lobby.

“And if Dawnie…if…if she…” Yusuke couldn’t bring himself to say it. He choked and was again sobbing in grief and in fear.

Kurama watched him pityingly. “Oh Yusuke.” He whispered.

A doctor in a pair of green scrubs with traces of blood on them came up to them. Kurama could by the scent that it was a mix of Kazuma’s and Shizuru’s but not Dawn’s.

“Are you the boys that brought in the gunshot victims?”

Yusuke’s head shot up and he lunged at the doctor grabbing him by his collar. “Are they okay?” he yelled “Dawnie, the little girl, how is she? Is she all right?”

Kurama grabbed the man and pulled him away from the frightened doctor. “Yusuke, please!”

The doctor recomposed himself and asked them to sit down. Yusuke and Kurama obeyed but Hiei remained standing.

“I’m not going to lie to you sir, her condition is still critical. She had massive internal bleeding and bruising around her lungs and two of her ribs are broken.”

“Oh God!” Yusuke choked with his in his hands.

“When a child that small is shot, the damage is always much worse than it would have been with an adult. Their bodies are much more fragile and therefore damage much more easily.”

“But she will recover wont she?” Hiei asked him.

“Most likely. Out of the three of them, her injuries were the least severe.”

Yusuke growled. “Somehow, this is not making me feel any better!”

“What of Kazuma and Shizuru?”

The doctor suddenly became quiet.

Hiei narrowed his yes in disapproval at the tears that filled Kurama’s eyes from the silence. He would never say it out loud but Hiei was jealous of Kuwabara for his relationship with the fox. He had been so angry upon discovery of their relationship he was ready to kill the oaf. But then he saw how happy Kurama was with him, and he imagined how upset he would be if anything happened to the big human. Begrudgingly he decided to just leave well-enough alone.

‘For Kurama’s sake, I pray that the human lives.’

The doctor swallowed and took a breath.

“Azuma,” he said slowly, “is alive.” (Kurama gave a heavy sigh of relief) “The bullet punctured his right lung. We put a tube down his throat to help him breath. While we were trying to stabilize him he went into a respiratory arrest. We began CPR, his lung collapsed and then his heart stopped.”

“What?!” Kurama yelled, leaping to his feet. “But, but Kazuma….he…you said…”

“We managed to get it going again and he is now stable. He just got out of surgery twenty minutes ago. However, he is in danger of going into another cardiac arrest. He’s on a machine right now that is breathing for him. He’ll have to stay on it for a few weeks until his lung is healed enough to do the job itself.”

Kurama sat back down trembling. He wrapped his arms around himself tightly and nodded to himself. ‘He’s alive.’ He told himself ‘he’s alive. He’s going to be fine. He’s alive.’

Yusuke moved his gave from Kurama to the doctor. “And Shizuru?”

The doctor sighed again and slumped is shoulders. “I’m terribly sorry to have to tell you this but the damage to her spinal cord was just too severe. We did everything we could, but to no avail.”

Kurama gasped in shock. “She’s dead?”

The doctor nodded grimly. “Yes. I’m afraid she is.”

I had originally intended to tell you guys who Dawn was in this chapter but it never happened. Maybe the next one. Who do you think she is? And who do you think the shooter was? Or should I say killer? I got one guess already and you were right about it being the father. Anyone who guesses right gets a prize!

Hiei-She’s lying. You won’t get anything.

Kuwa-*crying* I want my sissy!

Yusuke-you evil bitch! How could you do that to Shizuru?

Phillepa-*runs away screaming from an angry Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei*

Kuwa continues to cry in the corner.
