'What's wrong with him? Is he okay? Is this just fatigue? A dream?'he............die?' had tried cleaning up the apartment to ease his worries. The barely dirtied rooms were spotless after about three minutes of straightening up. He doubted that even a hospital could be cleaner.
Damn it! Why does Hiei have to be a clean freak?!
Since Kurama was still worried and had nothing left to clean, he started to pace. Up and down, he paced, glancing a worried gaze towards the clock above the entertainment center, oh, every fifteen seconds. His brow was creased with worry. and down. gaze checked the clock ticking away the minutes, praying to Inari that the clock was not ticking away his other half's life. sat down on Hiei's comfy chair, determined to wait patiently and hoping his familiar scent would ease his mind.

He started to pace again. He resumed his routine of looking over at the clock every fifteen seconds again.
~5:31 am~was still pacing. his thoughts were going over what had lead up to Hiei's bizarre collapse. Kurama felt like it was his fault. After all, this turn of events was started with him. Why shouldn't it end with him? Pace, glance, pace, glance. It became his mantra. It was all that he did. was all that was keeping him from going insane.a sound of the bedroom door softly opening and of small footsteps coming towards him reached his ears.then went to his lover, leaving Yukina to talk to Kuwabara who had accompanied her over. He heard them exchanging a few soft words, but didn't really care to socialize at the moment.fact, Kurama had not said more than two words to the tall human in the past seventeen minutes. knelt down on Hiei's side of the bed. He looked down into his lover's face. It was unusually pale. fear washed over him as those panicked thoughts filled his head again.was wrong?? Was it because they made love? Was that just too strenuous of an activity too soon? Or did those demons he found Hiei fighting yesterday have something to do with it? Did one of them have a poison in their body? Or on their weapon? If so, what kind? Was it... fatal? Was there an antidote? A thousand different thoughts raced through his mind, each more troubling than the last. love you, Hiei and I promise you will get better," Kurama whispered to the now softly breathing koorime, "I'll make sure of it!" Kurama grabbed his lover's limp hand, and leaned down to kiss his cheek.was then that he felt that Hiei was cold- almost as cold as Yukina.
"Nani?!" Kurama knew that fire demons should never, ever feel cold to the touch. Dread and panic ran through him with a vengeance. he called, pulling Hiei closer, desperately trying to warm Hiei up.door flew open and both Yukina and Kuwabara raced inside. Yukina looked very sad and gave Kurama a pitying look. Kurama then reluctantly let go of Hiei to grab Yukina's shoulders and look into her saddened eyes.him, please!" he said, starting to get hysterical, "H-he's cold. But- but,fire demons should never be cold. I-I can't lose him." Kurama's voice was rising into a high pitched keen, belying his panic even more. Yukina's signal, Kuwabara lead the now fully hysterical fox back out into the living room. He knew that the shrimp was not in a good condition. He hated to admit it, but Hiei was kind of like a sibling to him, and he considered Hiei to be one of his closest, most valued friends. also pained him to see his other, normally cool, calm, and collected best friend wailing like a small child lost in a crowded mall. The great Youko Kurama sounded so hopeless. last four days seemed like a never-ending nightmare. Kuwabara wished that his two friends would get to have a more peaceful life after the half-pint got better.would get better, right? sincerely hoped so. He really didn't feel like having a double funeral. He knew that would be the outcome if he didn't if the cascade of tears running down the fox- spirit's cheeks was any indication.to mention how Yukina would be. He knew she viewed Hiei as if he were her long-lost brother. She seemed to have a special bond with him that just couldn't be explained. She would surely be lost in a mountain of tear gems before she got over his death.
'You had better get better Shrimp! I'll never forgive you if you don't!'
~~ In the room~~began to look Hiei over again. She had known for about a month just who her brother was. It took her a while, but she did figure it out. She couldn't have been happier, since she had already felt as if it were so, and she had always hoped it would be him.now, staring at her beloved older brother's face, she was washed over in fear. She quickly set her hands on his bared chest and concentrated on checking his vitals.

She searched and searched for the cause of his temperature drop.'s when she found out what was making Hiei so ill. had to stop herself from crying out. There was a slow-acting poison in his body. One that she knew was particularly painful to suffer from. Her soft red eyes looked at his familiar features again. if on cue, Hiei winced. Out of the corner of his right eye, a small tear fell.

She made her way out to her brother's beloved. was time to deliver the news to the grief-stricken fox.
~Living room~was now rocking back and forth on the couch. Kuwabara was rubbing his shoulders comfortingly. He didn't know if it was possible, but Kuwabara thought that Kurama was even more hysterical than before.fox had a continuous flow of tears streaming down his face and persisted in muttering things like, "How can Hiei be cold?" Or " Its all my fault!! Inari, it should be me in there!!" Or " I love you, Hiei. Onegai, don't leave me, love." and over, like a broken record, he repeated. It was both annoying and heart wrenching to hear.really hoped Hiei was okay.Yukina came into view, she broke the trance the frantic fox was in. He got up and raced to her. He pulled both her small hands into his own, his eyes begging for anything she could tell him and hoping that what she would say would heal his treasured koi.it didn't come. what came out threw ice over the fox's heart.
"I-I'm sorry, Kurama," she began, "Hiei has been infected with a slow-acting poison. It starts to eat away at the victim, beginning in and around the chest, causing severe pain. It spreads further out with each heartbeat, which makes it an effective battle weapon." She continued her explanation, hoping the knowledge would prepare the fox for what would most likely occur, "Its effects are muted until the victim's heart rate speeds up. At that time, the poison starts to spread at a quicker rate. The name of it is Nertkunki," she looked down, "Hiei has three days, at the most, until he- dies." She started to cry again, her heart breaking from the pain she knew he was suffering and had yet to suffer.
Kurama sank down to his knees, his hands covering his face. Then, the most spine-chilling thing happened, Kurama turned youko and started to howl. He reminded Kuwabara of the sounds an animal would make upon the death of its mate. He had to choke back tears of his own. He excused himself to break the news to the rest of the Tantei. He gathered up Yukina and left Kurama alone for the moment.didn't notice. Kurama could feel was his life mate slowly being taken in by death.
