I'm running out of ideas! Ack! Got to think more!

Chapter Three: Holding Down & The Medicine

Yusuke was running across town trying to find Kuwabara. He had gone to Kuwabara's home only to find that Kuwabara wasn't home. "Where can that stupid idiot went?"

He decided to call Botan for help. She can fly across town on her oar without any trouble. He took out his communicator (which a long time ago Botan had given to him). He opened it and spoke, "Botan, where are you?"

The communicator was silent for a moment. Then a voice spoke, "Yusuke, what's the problem?"

Yusuke sighed in relieve. "Thank goodness you're here. Can you please head over here right away?"

Botan had a funny face. "Why? What happened?"

"I tell you everything once you get over here." Yusuke closed his communicator. "I wonder how Kurama is doing at the moment."

---------------------------------------------------------

At Genkai's temple, Kurama was still sleeping. Hiei just leaned against the wall. Genkai was out somewhere and said that she was going to come back later.

Hiei was in deep thoughts when he was interrupted by Kurama's speaking.

Don't....leave me alone...

Hiei looked at Kurama. 'He's having a nightmare...'

Thunders...too much thunders...

Now Hiei was getting interested. 'Thunders? What does thunders got to do with this?'

Mother...

Hiei crossed his arms. 'What did happen right before he got home?'

"Hiei?"

Hiei was shocked to hear his name. He looked toward at Kurama. Kurama's eyes were opened, but they looked exhausted.

"What?"

Kurama pushed himself to sit up. Hiei would have made Kurama lie back down, but it was no use. "Can you tell me what's going on?"

Hiei looked away from Kurama. "Why?"

Kurama's green eyes looked at Hiei. "Please..."

Hiei could not resist from Kurama. Kurama was kind. "Hn. Well...something about a scroll and something about you have it..."

"That's not all the story is it?" Kurama asked.

Hiei didn't speak. What was he supposed to say?

"Hiei..." Kurama started, but was interrupted by the opening of the door. It was Yusuke along with Botan and Kuwabara.

"I see you're up," Yusuke stated.

"Why'd you bring so many people?" Hiei asked.

"What? You don't like company?" Botan asked.

Hiei didn't bother to respond. Botan checked Kurama's head. "Wow, you are burning."

"Where's Genkai?" Kuwabara asked.

"Who knows?" Hiei responded.

"I'm back," a voice said.

Yusuke yawned. "Hello Genkai. Where did you go?"

Genkai pulled Yusuke's ear. Yusuke started to scream. When she finally let go, Yusuke hid behind Botan. "I got medicine."

"Medicine? What the heck is that?" Hiei asked.

Kuwabara laughed. "You don't know what medicine is?"

Hiei's expression changed to the 'I'm going to kill you' look. Yusuke decided this would be a good time to explain. "It helps cure the sickness."

Kurama only took medicine when he was small. He didn't quite like it either. But he was not going to complain.

"I'll go get some water," Botan said.

Kurama nodded a little. He was getting tired. Even though he only spent a few minutes being up, it took much of his energy.

"Do you even know what happened to that little girl anyway?" Yusuke asked.

Hiei shook his head. Kuwabara was confused. "What little girl?"

No one answered his question. There were few silent moments, until it was interrupted by a girl. "Um...excuse me, is Yusuke here?"

Everyone looked at the girl. There was a girl with light blue-green hair and wearing a kimono. Hiei had a funny look. Yusuke decided to welcome her, "Hey Yukina. What brings you here?"

Kuwabara jumped across the room. He grabbed Yukina's hands. "Oh sweet- heart! You're here!"

Hiei shivered. How dare Kuwabara touch his sister. "Um...okay," Yukina had a weird expression written all over her face.

"Yukina, is there something up?" Kurama asked. He also wanted to know why she was there.

"I felt something was wrong, and it pointed here. I didn't know it was you guys though," Yukina replied.

Hiei wanted to walk away. 'Why of all time must it be now?'

Kurama sensed Hiei. In fact, he could use telekinetic to Hiei. 'Why not tell her?'

Hiei was a little shook up from Kurama's voice. 'What are you doing in my head!?'

'Have you forgotten the fact that I could do telekinetic?'

'Shut up'

Kurama closed the telepath. He breathed hard. 'I'm losing my energies so fast...'

You want me to take over?

Kurama nearly jumped. 'What do you want Youko?'

I'm just trying to help

'No thanks'

Kurama hated to rely on his demon. But thanks to his demon side, he did have some pretty amazing powers.

I can also sensed that the scroll is within you

Kurama was interested. 'What scroll? Why is everyone talking about scroll? I don't get it...'

Lets just say you're a better thief than I am

Kurama got a little angry. He did not wanted to be a thief like Youko. 'I am NOT a thief!'

You have to be really good to steal that scroll you know

'What are you talking about!?'

................just watch your back

"Kurama?" Yusuke waved his hands back and forth in front of Kurama's face. He has been calling Kurama's name several times, but Kurama didn't replied.

Kurama broke out of his trance. "Sorry Yusuke."

Yusuke sighed. Botan gave Kurama the cup of water and a pill. Kurama quickly swallowed it. "Thanks. I think I feel a lot better."

Everyone decided to leave Kurama alone for now. As soon as everyone left, Kurama fell asleep. Little did he know that was his biggest mistake.

---------------------------------------------------------

Hiei sat in a tree. Yukina looked at him. "Is that what he always does?"

Yusuke assured Yukina. "Yeah, that's his hobby."

Genkai was in deep thought. But she was interrupted by Yusuke. "What is going to happen after this?"

Genkai looked at Yusuke with an angry glare. Yusuke began laughing nervously. "Heh...I guess I should leave you alone?"

"Too late dimwit," Genkai said. "And the answer to your question, I don't know."

Everything stood while a moment of silence went on. That silence was soon broken by a voice. "Give me."

Yusuke and Hiei got tensed. It was the same man! Yusuke prepared his spirit gun. "What the heck are you doing here?!"

The man laughed. "I came for my item."

Hiei took out his katana. "What item?"

"The item I hid in that little red friend of yours of course."

"You're the cause of all this?!" Yusuke screamed.

The man just laughed. "Why of course. Who else could steal the scroll from Notaki than the great priest from Notaki?"

Everyone was in dismayed. Hiei swung his katana at the man. The man dodged it like it was nothing. "I guess it was just all bad timing..."

Hiei stopped. "What do you mean?"

The man disappeared and reappeared behind Hiei. "His sickness just made it a lot easier for me to get the scroll back. Of course, his sickness has nothing to do with me."

Yusuke couldn't believe what he was saying. "What? You mean...Kurama was going to be sick anyways?"

The man laughed. He disappeared. "He's coming after Kurama!"

---------------------------------------------------------

I guess that's a mean little ending isn't it? Makes you wonder what's going to happen next. I got a lot in store for this story!

Hiei: What the heck!?

Kurama: What's got into you Hiei?

Hiei: What's he going to do to you?!

Yusuke: Only the author knows...

Hiei: Brings out his katana I will chop the author

Author: Brings a huge sword 10x Try

Hiei: Comes back to Kurama

Kurama: Well?

Hiei: You know? People can be really creative these days...

Kurama: Please review!
