Chapter 8

He's My Son

Hiei struggled with every breath. Tears blurred his vision. Even with the oxygen he still felt like he couldn't breath. Hiei whimpered slightly as the doctors inserted an IV. Hina and Yukina were in the back with Hiei. Hina looked sadly at Hiei as a tear slowly trickled down his burned cheek. Kurama and the gang took Kurama's car and drove behind the ambulance.

"He was drenched in ammonia. I think he swallowed some to. This is not good." They said to each other. All Hiei could heard was a low mumbling. All his senses went numb. "Son can you hear me?" Hiei tried to respond but found that he couldn't. He just heaved a ragged breath.

When they reached the hospital they rushed Hiei inside. Frantic the doctor attempted to save the boys life. The distressed Hina and Yukina waited in the waiting room. After a couple of minutes the gang had arrived.

"Is there any news on him?" Kurama asked the Hina who was comforting her daughter. Yukina held on to Hina as sorrow washed over her.

"What if he doesn't make it? We should have never let her take him." Yukina sobbed. Hina slowly rocked her while rubbing circles on her back soothingly.

"I'm sorry to bother you but do anything of you know the boy that was rushed in?" A cop asked. Kurama stood up.

"Yes we do what would you like?"

"Well we have this man in custody and evidence that he was the one that did this. Along with a woman we need some one to identify them. They said they are the boy's parents and this lady right here..." The office said pointing to Hina. "...hurt the boy. They are in the other room if you'd like to come." Kurama nodded.

"Wait I'd like to see them to." Hina said getting up. The office only motioned for them to follow. The gang followed the man.

"One of them is really drunk and can't even stand up the woman is tied to the chair to keep her from escaping." The officer mentioned as he opened the door. Sitting there and cursing the cops Alexis was tied to the chair. Hina gasped as she looked at the man presumed to be Hiei's father.

"S...Sanku." The drunken man mumbled something in his drunken slumber.

"Do you know this man?" The cop asked.

"Y...yes are you sure this is Hiei's father?" They nodded. "I used to date him. He is...my...daughter's father too." Hina said hugging Yukina. "Then...Hiei is my...my son?" Kurama gasped.

"Really? Yes Hiei did mention something about his mother but he wasn't sure if he had any siblings." Kurama mumbled.

"If it's true then why did you leave Hiei with him?" Yusuke asked. Hina hung her head slightly.

"I could not afford both of them. Sanku was angry with me. I never thought he'd hurt his son so I left my son with him taking my daughter. I was afraid he'd do something to Yukina if I left her there so I thought my son would survive better. I never got the chance to name my son but I guess he changed his last name. Sanku's old last name was Kojack. I guess he didn't want me to find my son."

"Would you like a DNA test to be sure, ma'am?" Hina looked at the cop and nodded. The cop took some of her DNA and left the room.

"Hiei's my brother?" Yukina said quietly to her self. "He does look a lot like me." Hina hugged Yukina close.

"All this time? Sanku abused my son." Hina said sadly tears falling down her cheeks.

"Kurama what are we going to do about Sanku? Once he's awake I don't think we will be able to contain him." Kurama smiled and pulled something out of his pocket.

"Wards." Yusuke smiled and nodded. Kurama walked up to Sanku and slipped on the wards when the cops weren't looking.

"The doctor is out." The gang nodded and made their way back to the waiting room.

"Hiei's family and friends I presume?" The gang nodded. "Ok. Well this does look grim. He's on life support and is still very unstable. The problem is we are going to have to place him on a feeding tube soon to get it out of his system. It will only be 'till he wakes up. He's very lucky because he has inhaled a lot of the ammonia. His skin is burn quite badly. It is wrapped and will be for a while. I don't think it has affected any senses but it's still too early to tell but we're watching his eyes. There is also something that has us worried. Some time during the injury he was kicked in the back or something with great force like slamming into a staircase. I'm not sure...but he's spinal cord is severely damaged. We are not even sure he'll be able to walk. The blow had severed a whole lot of nerves." Hina held her daughter as she cried. Kurama also wrapped a comforting arm around Hina. "We are not completely sure but there is a chance. I'm sorry. Other than that minor bump and bruises. He is now in the ICU would you like to see him?" The gang nodded. The doctor smiled sadly and led the way.

Hiei was lying on a huge white bed. His face and head was wrapped and uncovered only his mouth and nose. A huge tube was lodged down Hiei's throat breathing for him. Most of his body was covered to protect his burned skin. They also noticed a back brace around Hiei's chest.

"Oh Hiei." Hina said sadly. "What have I done? I should have taken you with me. I'm so sorry." Hina said sitting in the chair next to the bed. Yukina sat next to her in another chair. The gang gathered in the room and sat on chairs and on the window seal.

After a couple of hours Yusuke and Kuwabara had gone home planning on coming over later.

"Are you sure you don't need anything?" Kurama asked again as he got ready to leave.

"We're sure Kurama don't worry about us." Kurama smiled and nodded.

"Ok but if you need anything please don't hesitate to call." Hina and Yukina nodded and said thanks. The doctor entered the room after Kurama left.

"We have the DNA results. It seems that this boy, Hiei, is your son."

What do you think???? Hope you liked it! PLEZ R&R THANX!!!

For Psycho24 and Poltergeist Report 101's Question:

Ammonia is used for many things but the one in my story is a detergent. It's chemical is a strong base. It is harmful to every part of your body. It can cause burning of the skin and if it gets in eyes it can cause permanent damage. Inhaling can irritate nose, throat, and mouth and harm lungs. It could also cause liquid build up in the lungs leading to death. Lets just say it's not a good thing to get into. I hope that helped for those who don't know what ammonia is and it's effects.
