Chapter 7: My Aunt- The Next Mary Poppins
~~~
"Yes unfortunately, my little sister seems to always be sick. Anyways, don’t worry. She will take good care of Dianna." Sarah cracks an eye open to look at their expressions then goes back to resting. Kurama opens his mouth to say something but Sarah cuts him off.
"Yes, Kurama she knows where your house is. Don’t ask me how, even I don’t know."
Just then the front door opens to reveal a pleasantly plump woman with short blond hair who’s a few inches taller then Sarah and she's carrying a black bag with her.
"Where’s the patient?" Comes a cheery, but not too cheery voice.
"Hi Auntie. She’s on the couch by the redhead. Her name is Dianna and his is Shuichi." Sarah opens her eyes and smiles up at her aunt as she moves to inspect her patient.
"Hello, I'm Mary," she says, "Say "ah"." Mary holds Dianna's chin up.
"(*coughcough*) Aaaaaaaahhh...." Dianna opens her mouth wide and Mary whips out a mini flashlight and looks in. She stares for a few seconds then steps back and Dianna's mouth closes.
"Well, I’m going to have to run some tests to figure out exactly how much liquid in your lungs, if you do have pneumonia." She puts the flashlight in the bag. "I have also heard that you've been through this before so the procedure won't be anything new to you. Is there maybe a guest bedroom I could use?" Mary's eyes turn to Kurama questioningly.
"Of course. It's upstairs and two doors on the left." Kurama replies.
"Well now we can't have her walking up the stairs, now can we? I also heard from Sarah you cracked your rib on some stairs when you had pneumonia last time." Mary turns to Kurama with a glint in her eyes. "Could you carry her for me?"
"O-of course." Kurama stutters and blushes as he picks up Dianna and walks upstairs. Mary follows with Sarah behind her.
Sarah runs ahead and opens the door for Kurama as they all walk inside. Kurama lies Dianna down on the bed and he stands off to the side with Sarah. Mary puts her bag on the floor at the foot of the bed. She reaches into it and pulls out with some difficulty- an x-ray machine. Dianna and Kurama stare on in horror and shock.
"Holy crap! (*cough*) How did you--" Dianna jumps over to the bag and looks inside to see nothing then she picks it up and shakes it but nothing happens--all traces of the mini flashlight gone.
She looks at Mary in awe. "(*sniff*) Are you Mary Poppins?"
Mary bursts out laughing.
"Oh dearie, no." She turns to Sarah. "You never told them?" She tutts.
"Eh heh heh..." Sarah scratches the back of her head nervously and looks at the floor. "I just didn’t feel the need to tell them anything at the time, that's all."
"Well, tell them now." Mary says sternly, prying the bag away from a still baffled Dianna.
"Ummm... this is nothing probably compared to everything else, but my family roots stem from an ancient magic that allows us to tap into it every now and then when we need it... yea." Sarah blushes from embarrassment and looks at the ground.
"(*sneeze*) I didn't know you were that weird." Dianna replies first.
"That weirdness is going to cure you, hun," says Mary while setting up the x-ray machine and pulling more parts from the bag.
"I thought something was different about you Sarah. I just couldn't put my finger on it." Kurama comments thoughtfully.
"You mean- you knew?" Sarah asks bewildered.
Kurama nods. "In a way I knew. It was your scent. Your's was always just a bit heavier and, ah, mystical, I guess you could call it that."
"Sometimes I think you're too smart for your own good." Sarah smirks at him then helps her aunt with the rest of the needed equipment.
"Kurama?" Dianna whispers from the bed. Kurama walks over to see her lying on top of the blankets, paler than before. Her coughs racking her body and sending shivers all through her.
"(*sniff*) I feel like I’m dying... My throat-" She gets cut off by another attack of coughing.
Just then, Mary walks over with the set up x-ray machine rolling next to her.
"We had better get started, hun, and get this over with." Mary nods at Sarah and Kurama and they leave to give Dianna some room.
~Living room~
"Would you like anything Kura-kun?" Sarah pokes her head from the kitchen.
"Tea would be nice, please."
"Sure. And you Hiei?" Sarah smiles at the fire demon sitting in the corner.
"Hn."
"Alright then." Sarah walks into the kitchen and puts the kettle on to boil.
~Guest room- after the tests~
"Well there’s good news and bad news hun. Which would you like first?" Mary asks Dianna while she cleans up.
"Bad news, please." Dianna sighs, sitting up.
"It seems you do have pneumonia but it's only a slight case." Mary shoves the x-ray machine into the Law-defying-bag.
"(*cough cough*) And what's the good news?"
"And the good news is that the key to your life's happiness and happily ever after is what's behind door number one!" Mary points to the door as it is suddenly knocked on and slowly opens.
Kurama steps in and looks at the two. "Are you through with the tests?"
"Yes, I was just leaving." Mary smiles and pushes the rest of her things into the little black bag. "I'll let Dianna tell you the results."
"Dianna, are you okay?" Kurama asks worriedly, approaching her. Dianna nods then sweat drops and stares at Mary.
"How did you know he would come in? Did you use ma-a-a-(*sneeze*)-magic?"
"No dearie. I just thought that since he and Sarah are the ones who care most about you, that either he or Sarah would come to check on you first- but I was leaning more towards the redhead." Mary's eyes twinkle with wisdom as she leaves them both alone.
"Well, she certainly is an interesting woman, I must say." Kurama comments, chuckling softly.
"Hai." Dianna agreed, still a bit bewildered.
"So, how did it go?" Kurama asks while sitting next to her on the bed.
"Well, she said I only have a slight case of pneumonia, so that's good. But... she didn't say anything else." Dianna relays to Kurama with a blush on her face.
"Does that mean you’re not contagious?" Kurama smiles at her.
"I guess so..." Dianna answers as Kurama sweetly kisses her on the lips.
Kurama breaks away then sits back to see Dianna's reaction. She sits there in surprise for a few moments then looks at Kurama.
"B-but what if-" Kurama places a finger on her lips to be quiet and smiles at her.
"Would you like me to get you some tea?"
Dianna's eyes laugh at Kurama as she nods her head, yes. Kurama removes his finger from her mouth and leaves for the kitchen.
~Downstairs~
"Hi Kurama! Your tea is ready." Sarah greets and hands him a steaming mug.
"Thank you Sarah. I'm going to sit with Dianna for a while." Kurama informs sarah then leaves and goes back upstairs.
Sarah then takes two mugs of hot cocoa and sits in the living room.
"Hiei?" Sarah whispers at the silent figure in the corner. He walks over to her and takes the extra mug.
"I knew you wanted some." She smiles to herself and sips her drink.
Hiei turns and looks at her. "How?"
"I don’t know how, really. I just know, like a feeling." Sarah looks thoughtful, then sips her cocoa.
Hiei grunts then sits back in the corner. Sarah giggles and looks into her cup, feeling the awkward silence consume her.
"Sooo... how’s your cocoa?"
"Fine."
"Good, good."
Silence...
"How’s life?"
"What?"
"How’s life?"
"Hn, fine."
Silence...
Suddenly Mary runs downstairs and looks at them both.
"Do something would ya!?"
"What?" Sarah and Hiei ask at the same time.
"Do something! You’re just sitting there!"
"Yup." Sarah responded. "And that's.... bad?"
"Yes! Do what they're doing upstairs!"
Sarah and Hiei almost spit out their cocoa. "What?!"
"Something! I mean, they're not just sitting there looking at each other, attempting to make conversation!"
"Whatever..." Sarah shrugs, after a thought she looks hopeful. "How’s Dianna?"
Mary sighs in defeat. "She’s fine although she does have a slight case of pneumonia." She moved towards the door. Hand on the doorknob, she suddenly turns to Sarah and fishes in her pocket.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot." She hands a bottle of thick liquid with strange writing on the side to Sarah. "Give her this antibiotic every 4 hours and she'll be good as new in 3 days- 2 if we're lucky." Mary hugs Sarah, says her goodbyes, and leaves.
"So..." Hiei begins as Sarah turns towards him. "What can this magic of yours do?"
~Upstairs~
"Here’s your tea." Kurama sits by Dianna and hands her the mug.
"Thank you." She sips it then stares curiously at Kurama, who's lost in thought.
"Is something bothering you?" Dianna gently taps his elbow. He starts slightly at the contact then gives her a $100 dollar smile.
"It’s nothing, just a feeling." Kurama dismisses, shaking his head.
"Feelings are usually right. (*coughcough*) Tell me what's bothering you." Dianna moves closer to him and hugs his arm.
"Well, I don’t really know exactly what the feeling is about... but I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen, and soon." Kurama thinks for a moment then shakes his head.
"I guess I’m just over working my worries for you Dianna." He takes his arm back and wraps it around her shoulders, hugging her closer.
"Aw, you're worried about me? (*sniff*) That’s sweet, but unnecessary. I’m just fine, as Mary-san said, I only have a slight case. I'll be better in a few days." Dianna smiles up at him and sips her tea.
"Hm, you're right, Dianna." Kurama smiles back. 'But that is not entirely why I’m worried.' he thinks darkly. Dianna, satisfied for the moment, cuddles up to his shoulder and closes her eyes.
