~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ inulover: on to the story!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*

It took awhile for Hiei to realize what made the sound, then it hit him, "Kurama?" The
fire youkai looked down to find the fox curled in a ball. Another whimper sounded alarming Hiei
further, "Kurama? Kurama what's wrong?" he asked as he got off the bed so he could see
Kurama better. He strained his hearing in order to hear the reply, "h..hurts.." "What hurts?" Hiei
placed his hand on the kitsunes arm only to yank it away when Kurama screamed in pain.

"Is it your arm? Does that hurt?" Hiei asked, getting no response in return, "Kurama?..
Kurama answer me!" still no response. Hiei slid his hand under the sweat plastered bangs of the
red head and checked the fever. Kurama barely had time to flinch because the youkai pulled his
hand away so quickly. A terrified look was seen in his eyes, he knew that Kurama had a fever but
Hiei had nearly burnt his hand just by touching the heated flesh. ‘This is serious! I need help! I
don't know what's wrong with him!' the youkai thought rapidly "but.. Who..." then it came to
him, "Yukina!". One last look at his fox and then he went off into the hall.

"Now where is that stupid ningen contraption?" Then he spotted the phone in the hall and
rushed to it. ‘Now how does this work again?' He remembered Kurama showing him how to use
it once not to long ago.

(Flashback)

"What would I want to know this for fox" a pouting fire koorime protested. "You might
need to use it while your in the ningenkai Hiei, it is useful," "hn." Kurama laughed at the youkais
antics and continued. "Anyway, I have everyones number here in this little book if you need to
look one up" "hn" and Hiei flitted out of the residence.

(End flashback)

Frantically looking around the phone for his ill counterparts "little book" that was
supposed to have everybody's phone number. After finding it he flipped through the pages until
he found a set of numbers that said "Genkai's temple/ Yukina" next to it.

The ringing on the other line kept going and Hiei was about to slam the phone down
when an old and raspy voice came from the other end. "Hello?" "What took you so long , you old
hag!? I was about to hang up!" an outraged fire youkai screamed. "Watch your mouth moron !
And since when do you know how to use a telephone?!" Genkai screamed back. "That's not
important! Just put my sister on the phone!" (A/N: yes Genkai knows about them) "why?! Just
come here yourself!" "I can't!" "And why not?!" "Kurama's ill and I need to talk to Yukina!"
There was a pause and then Genkai spoke again. "What's wrong with him?" Genkai's voice was
back to normal, "hn, if I knew I wouldn't be talking to you"Hiei replied, "hang on I'll get her"

"Hello? Hiei? What's wrong with Kurama?" the delicate ice maidens voice asked out of
concern. Dropping his voice to a gentle tone that he used with Yukina he told her about
everything starting from the meeting in the park. "Then this morning his fever shot through the
roof, it's got to be around 109 degrees, and I couldn't touch him because he said it hurt." The
sound of coughing echoed through the hall. "Oh dear! I'll be there as soon as I can." As soon as
they hung up Hiei rushed back to Kurama.

(At Genkai's)

The pink haired old women was standing next to the ice apparition the whole time while
she was on the phone. "What's going on?" she inquired as Yukina hung up, turning to the old
women she explained the situation. "I'll drive you there, come on" and Genkai grabbed her keys
(A/N: can she drive? o_O?) and left with Yukina.


(Back at Kurama's)

Hiei hurried to the kitsune's side when he saw the blood stains on the sheets by the
hacking fox. Hiei tried to help Kurama into a sitting position ,but the same as before it merely
caused the fox more pain. It was painful for Hiei to be watching this and not being able to help at
all, the coughing eventually slowed and stopped, leaving an out of breath fox lying on the bed
with a small trail of blood coming from his mouth. As gently as he could, Hiei wiped the blood
off and placed a new cloth on the yoko's head. Kurama flinched at first but calmed down. The
whimpering started again as the fevered fox shifted in his spot.
********


Hiei led the ice maiden and Genkai into Kurama's room, Yukina gasped at the sight of
the strong yoko's condition, she wasn't prepared for that. Even Genkai got wide eyed at the
scene, Hiei turned to his sister "do you think you can do anything?" She walked over to the bed
and placed her hands above the form, a blue light cascaded around the fox as she used her powers
to search for the source of the sickness. Hiei and Genkai watched the maiden silently and didn't
speak up until the light faded away completely. The grave look on her beautiful face was not
encouraging, Hiei finally spoke. "Well... Do you know what it is?" he asked while advancing
toward the bed.

Tears started to well up in her eyes and she briskly wiped them away, "Hiei.. It's a
poison, and a very strong one, I can't heal him." His eyes widened at the shocking news, why
didn't he think of that earlier? "But.. How?.. When?" the fire youkai asked himself silently.
Then Genkai spoke for the first time since their arrival. "Didn't all of you go on a mission a few
days ago?" Hiei nodded "yes, but what...?" Realization struck him hard as the scenes of the
battle flashed through his mind. The spider youkai on top of Kurama and her happy laughter
afterwards, "that spider youkai! She must have done this! That whore!" "What did this youkai
look like?" the old women asked as she sat on the bed. " A black widow, only with a skull on
her back instead of an hour glass" "hm, the only antidote that I know of for this venom is the
spiders blood," the pink haired women answered calmly. "Then I'll kill her" and Hiei was about
to flit off before Genkai stopped him. "Wait don't be hasty like that dim-witted student of mine,"
"what?!" "You need the blood to be as fresh as possible Hiei." "Then I'll rip out it's heart, is that
fresh enough for you Genkai?!" " Shut up and listen!" she shouted. "You need to draw the blood
from the neck or else it won't be strong enough, and it will also paralyze her so you can collect
the blood." "Fine, can I go now?" the fire koorime asked heatedly. She ignored him and turned to
Yukina, "Yukina use your powers to heal him" she instructed. "But master Genkai my powers
can't get rid of the poison." "No, but they will slow down any further effects and will make him
more comfortable". Yukina preceded in doing just that and Genkai threw a vial at Hiei which he
caught without any trouble. "Collect her blood in that vial, and Hiei, even with Yukina's healing
powers and Kurama's strong will, there's a good chance that he won't make it through the night."
"Then I'll be back before the sunsets." "Good, now hurry." With one last glance at his ill fox he
left the room in search of the youkai.

Hiei ripped the ward off of his jagan eye and searched for the demon, the fight would
soon begin.
