Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ I'm Not Sick ❯ Carnival of Fluffiness ( Chapter 4 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
A/N: Ok this chapter starts off exactly where chapter 3 left off so don't be confused.

"Hmmm... let's see," Sarah remarks as she looks around, "police entrances... but only one's on duty at that one." She points and smirks. Everyone follows with confused looks as she walks towards the guard.

"Hey Brian," Sarah says, glancing at his nametag. "What's a cute guy like you doing playing security guard?" she smiles at him.

Everyone: O.O (Hiei: -.-)

"Ah...um, ah..." the guard stutters with the biggest blush.

Dianna grabs Sarah and pulls her aside. "What do you think (*sneeze*) you're doing?" Dianna whispers.

"Just go with the flow." Sarah says while making her way back to Brian, the security guard.

"So...." Sarah says, fingering Brian's collar, "when do you get off?"

"Ah, 4 o'clock," he replies, beginning to get cocky. "Why? You wanna do something?"

"If you let us in, sugar, I'll go wherever you wanna." Sarah finishes with a wink and a smile.

The guard winks back and opens the gate. When they are out of earshot Dianna rolls her eyes at Sarah.

"'I'll go wherever you want 'sugar'.'" Dianna mimics with a disgusted look, and then coughs.

"Oh shut up. Its not like I'm actually going to meet with him because I know that guard's thoughts were bad, although Hiei's are probably worse." Sarah smirks at Hiei as he glares at the back of the guard, thinking of all the ways he can kill him without making it look like a murder, not even noticing Sarah's talking.

"(*sniff*) He's probably plotting how many times he can cut the guard up in less than 2 seconds," Dianna whispers to Kurama as he chuckles.

"Why do you never talk to me like that?" Kuwabara asks. Sarah looks at him then bursts out laughing. Kuwabara frowns in a I'm-going-to-cry-way and Sarah manages to catch her breath long enough to stop laughing at him.

"Oh, you're serious... well, it's because you're just not my type, Kuwabak-I mean-bara." Sarah says with a smile.

"And because Hiei would kill you." Yusuke says with a yawn, earning a glare from the petite fire demon.

Suddenly, Dianna holds her head."(*coughcough*) Itai... I don't feel so good..." Dianna grimaces.

Sarah fishes in her pocket and tosses Dianna a bottle of Motrin, and a mini water bottle she just swiped. "Here."

"Maybe it wasn't a good idea to come..." Kurama comments as Dianna takes the medicine. Dianna shakes her head and grabs his hand in a silent plee.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Come on, let's go win some stuffed animals," she says as she pulls him toward the games.

"Ok let's play some games but we should stay together just in case." Sarah suggests while eyeing Yusuke and Kuwabara.

They walk up to the first game, which happens to be darts and balloons. Yippee.

"Come on Kurama! (*sneeze*) You're good at precision!" Dianna says as she pushes him forward.

"All right..." he pays for the game and steps up to the bench. After hitting 3 balloons in a row, he gives Dianna the prize of a stuffed bunny-looking thing.

"This is the cutest thing!(*coughcough*)" Dianna squeals as she huggles the poor thing. Her eyes sparkle up at Kurama as she says her thanks.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Kurama asks, "you look pale, do you have a fever?" Kurama reaches up to feel her forehead. Dianna shooes his hands away and sits down on the bench. "I just need to sit and catch my breath for a sec, and I'll be ok. (*cough*)" Kurama nods his head in agreement, but doesn't believe her for a second and sits down next to her.

"Hey Urameshi! I bet I can hit more balloons than you!"

"Ha! You're on!" Yusuke and Kuwabara step up to play. Kuwabara hits 3 out of 5 and Yusuke hits 4. Kuwabara pouts and calls for a rematch. While this was going on, Sarah sat down next to Dianna who had her head on Kurama's shoulder. Sarah accidentally knocks into Dianna, who then falls against Sarah and then slumps to the ground.

"Dianna?" Kurama asks kneeling next to her and trying to wake her up.

"Ohmygod!" Sarah exclaims, feeling Dianna's forehead. "She's burning up! And..." Sarah shakes Dianna, "she's passed out! We have to get her home!"

"Yukina and Genkai are closer... Hiei, could you...?" Kurama asks calmly in full command of the situation.

Hiei sighs while he picks up Dianna. "Fine, fox. But you owe me one." He flits away to Genkai's with Dianna in his arms.

Sarah jumps up and follows, not at a pace as fast as Hiei's because that's physically impossible for her to even think of accomplishing but does the best she can, while Kurama follows. Yusuke looks at Kuwabara and shrugs then they both start walking after the two.

A leg cramp, a rest, 100 stairs later (more like 1000) Sarah collapses in front of Genkai's temple just as Kurama sits down next to her. Genkai steps outside and looks at them with an understanding of their worry for Dianna.

"No need to fuss you two," she says, "Dianna'll be fine. She just overstressed herself causing her mediocre fever to skyrocket and she passed out. With a bit of rest she'll be back to her usual self." Genkai takes one last look at them and then heads back inside.

Sarah bangs her fist into the ground causing Kurama to jump (more jumping) and turn to look at her.

"Damn it. It's all my fault. I knew she was sick! Why didn't she tell us before that she couldn't go?" She sits up and looks at Kurama for answers (of course).

"It's not your fault Sarah," he responds, sighing. "I don't know why she wouldn't tell us but you can ask her. If I had to guess, I'd say she probably didn't want to ruin everyone else's fun." Kurama said gesturing to the door.

"No, its ok. She definately wants to see you first when she wakes up." Sarah says with a smile as Kurama nods at her in thanks.

Then Kurama blushes and stands up and goes inside. He walks to the room Dianna is occupying to see her lying on a futon, sleeping, and snuggling with her new toy he won for her. He chuckles then sits down by her side and watches her breath for a few seconds. Then he begins to talk to her, even though she's out of it. He doesn't talk really about anything at all but as he talks he unconsciously moves closer to her. He kisses her forehead just as her eyes open.

"Kurama? Wh-what happened? Where am I? (*coughcough*)" Dianna sits up and holds her head like she has a headache (duh!).

"Lie back down," he says, pushing her gently back onto the bed. "You passed out at the carnival and Hiei brought you here to Genkai's temple so Yukina and Genkai could take care of you." He explains, sitting back down at her side. Dianna pulls the blanket at her waist up to her neck and holds it.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean not to-I didn't want to-tell you... Everyone was having so much fun and I was too. I didn't want to be mean..." Dianna trails off and stares at the blanket to avoid Kurama's eyes.

"I understand," Kurama lifts her head up by her chin and brushes hair off of her face, "as I told Sarah, it's not your fault." He gently places a cool cloth on her forehead and she smiles up at him.

"Now get some rest, and I'll come back to wake you for dinner." He stands up and smiles at her.

"Ok... thank you, Kurama-kun." Dianna snuggles down into the blanket and closes her eyes as Kurama silently closes the door after him.

He walks into the living room to see Hiei sitting by the window, Sarah in the couch and Genkai sipping tea. Apparently, Yusuke and Kuwabara left.

Sarah looks up at Kurama and he nods at her, a simple sign saying Dianna's ok. Sarah sighs in relief and slumps in the couch.

"Sarah, make yourself useful and help Yukina in the kitchen with dinner." Genkai orders as Sarah stands up, bows and walks into the kitchen.

"I will be meditating before dinner, until then, do not disturb me." Genkai warns as she walks away to her room.
