Darkness before Light

By Brianna Spargur

YomiKurama

I Had another dream about my past and like all the others I woke up screaming.

My mother was at the door.

"Shu-kun are you alright/"

"I'm fine, ka-san. Just another nightmare."

"Alright then but if you need to talk..."

"Thank you, ka-san."

She smiled and walked back down stairs. I couldn't stop thinking about the dream.

Unlike the others this one wasn't about Kuronue. This one was about Yomi. It was about the

day I betrayed him. We now have an uneasy friendship and I know theres no way it will ever

go beond that. All to late I fined myself in love with him but I have hurt him to much to ever

ask for more than that.

Week later

I had been call to Koenma's office once more. We had another mission and this one

was to protect Yomi himself.

"Ok pacifier breath why would Yomi need our protection?" asked Yusuke.

"Yeah what he said," said Kuwabara.

"Baka"

"What did you say shrimp!?"

"I also wish to know." I said.

"Of course...well it seems Yomi has become ill but no one can tell with what. All we

know right now is that it has him bedridden and that he has enemys low enough to atack him

while he's this weak. So he needs someone to watch over him until we can find a cure. What

do you say?" answered Koenma.

"Do we really have a choice?" asked Yusuke.

"I'll do it!" I answered.

Everyone looked over at me strangely but at this point I didn't care. All I wanted

was to rush to Yomi's side. If he was poisoned it was possible I knew the cure.

"Of course then. You'll be the one to stay by his side. Yusuke, you and Hiei will

try to find out who did this and why." said Koenma.

"Fine whatever."

Koenma opened a portal that lead right into Yomi's room. The team quickly jumped

through the portal. I of course was the first one in. We appear directly by his bed. Yomi lay

panting on the bed.

He looked weaker than any of them had scene before. Shura, Yomi's son, sat silently next to

his father. He looked up as I walked up to the bed.

"Shura, what happened?" I whispered.

Shura looked so tired and sad. I wanted to lean over and comfort him but I stood in

place. Simply watching Yomi labber to breath.

"I don't know. He was in a meeting. One moment he was fine and heathy! The next he

was on the floor unconious!" Shura whimpered.

I laid a hand on his shoulder.

"It'll be fine. I'm here to help him get better and the others are here to find out what

happened." I said.

Even I felt shaken to the bone at Yomi's condition. Still I kept a calm mask up to help

reasure Shura. I pulled the boy up and pushed him towards the door.

"Go to sleep, Shura. I'll watch over Yomi." I assured.

He looked uneasy but knoddled. He walked to the doors and stopped. He turned back

around towards me.

"You will let me know should anything happen? Won't you?" he asked.

I smiled gently at him and felt a sadness. Oh Yomi was so lucky to have a son like

Shura.

" Of course I will. Now go get some sleep." I said.

I turned towards the others whom still stood in the same spot. I raised my eyebrow

alittle in amusement.

"You too! Go t o your rooms and get settled in!" I laughed.

"Well then if Kurama doesn't need right now lets go! I'll race you!" yelled Yusuke.

Yusuke hit Kuwabara on the back and ran from the room. Kuwabara had to cauch

himself so as not to hit the floor and ran after Yusuke.

"Hey! Wait for me!" he called.

Hiei sat on the window ceil looking out at the surroundings.

"Hn...baka. I'll search the area."

He jumped out the window and disappeared. I couldn't help but laugh at the antics

of my friends. I sat down in the chair Shura had been using. I leaned over an touched Yomi's

hand.

"Yomi...don't worry I'll find a way to help you," I whispred.
