Yukina slowly kneeled to the floor of the living room as she felt her head spin. That was strange, she thought as she blinked and set the food down. Botan said, "Isn't this exciting! It's been a while since we had everyone together." She brought out some more dishes from Genkai's kitchen.

"Yes," Yukina replied, "having everyone together when no one has to fight sure will be strange for once." She held her head after Botan went back into the kitchen.

"Hey Yukina!" Kuwabara shouted from the doorway, "What's up? I'm not late am I?"

She winced. Has he always been so loud? She thought. "No Kazuma, you're actually early. Would you like to help set up?" Yukina slowly stood back up.

"Of course!" he replied, "Where am I needed?" He dashed into the room and held her hands.

Botan walked back into the room, food in her arms, and said, "Hey Kuwabara, didn't know you would be here so early. Here." She handed it all off to him as she went back into the kitchen.

Yukina did the best she could at holding herself together as everyone else arrived one by one. She felt herself detierating. Her core body temperature was dropping but her face started to feel like it was on fire. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Botan, Shizuru, Keiko, and Genkai were all there and they didn't seem to notice, at first.

"We're running out of beer!" Shizuru complained.

"There's more in the kitchen," Yukina replied, "I'll get some." She stumbled to her feet.

Shizuru hiccuped and said, "Looks like you've had a few too many."

"She hasn't had any," Kurama replied, "Are you alright, Yukina?"

She turned around to face all of them and said, "I-I thi-ink so-I-" her head spun as her vision faded and she passed out before she even hit the ground. Her body landed in the middle of the group.

"Yukina!" Kuwabara shouted.

Genkai said, "Don't crowd her, she's obviously sick. Botan, get a cold compress from the kitchen."

Out in the forest, Hiei decided he didn't want to party. Instead he watched over Yukina from the distance. As soon as she collapsed he bolted upright in the tree he was sitting in. He stood up and jumped from tree to tree until he made it to the outside of the temple. He watched as everyone scurried to get her comfortable.

He kept his distance through the night as everyone eventually fell asleep, giving Yukina her space. He noticed her stirring awake around midnight, while everyone else was passed out. Hiei quietly made his way to her side, careful not to knock anything over.

As Yukina opened her eyes they were met with Hiei's crimson eyes as he sat beside her. She whispered, "Hiei? Is this a dream? What happened?" She looked around the room to see that everyone else was asleep and it was pitch black outside.

"You passed out earlier," he answered, "what's the matter?"

"I don't know," she whispered, "my whole body feels like it's about to freeze over but my face feels like it's on fire. I'm so cold."

Hiei said, "Sleep. It should help."

"Nice Hiei," Yukina said happily as she nodded off. Hiei rolled his eyes at that comment once her eyes were closed and left her to rest.

The next morning, Yukina was out cold while Hiei stayed undetected in a tree outside. Everyone else began waking up with hangovers. "Gee Kurama I didn't know you could drink so much," Yusuke remarked.

"Don't talk so loud, Yusuke," Kurama insisted, "it hurts." He held his head in pain.

Kuwabara asked, "Is Yukina still out? What do you think is wrong with her?"

Genkai explained, "She's sick, but I don't know with what. It could be a serious problem, or something minor. Koenma might have some ideas. Botan."

"Yes?!" she asked, "My head." She closed her eyes at the bright sunlight.

"Pull yourself together and get to spirit world," she commanded.

Yusuke asked, "You're not hungover grandma?"

"I've never been hungover in my life," she replied.

Keiko sat up and shouted, "School! There's a test today! Why did we do this on a school night?"

"Damn Keiko," Yusuke said, "calm the hell down, we'll get back into town eventually."

"She's right Urameshi," Kuwabara said, "that test's important. It's like 60% of our grade point average. We better get back into town." He stood up slowly.

Shizuru replied, "I shouldn't have partied this late. I might even be late for work." She looked at her watch and stood up.

One by one everyone left Genkai with Yukina still sleeping in her living room. Once Genkai left the room, Hiei jumped down and peered in. He walked over to his sleeping sister and saw that she was shivering. He took off his overcoat and laid it over her blanket.

"Are you going to look after her?" Genkai asked from behind him.

Damn old hag, Hiei thought as he turned around completely startled, she's even better at conceiling her energy than Kurama. "Why should I do that?" he asked hastily.

"You mean you're going to keep pretending?" she asked, "It's obvious by now who you are to her."

"You'll shut up if you know what's good for you," he said.

"Whatever," she replied, "at least you can take care of her while she's sick. I have no idea what it is, or if humans can get it. Say something if you need anything." She walked back out of the room.

It can't be that obvious, Hiei thought angrily, we look nothing alike! He looked back down at Yukina and remembered his mother's face.
