An Average Day

Urameshi Keiko looked down at her husband. A tear gently rolled down her cheek, her brown eyes red and puffy. As she looked down, a piece of her long, brown hair covered her pale skin. Her heart ached as she listened to the words of the doctor. She couldn't believe that the strongest person she knew, the one person she truly loved in the world, was going to die.

Keiko glanced once more at her husband, Urameshi Yuusuke. He didn't look so strong today. He looked weak, as if he could break. Keiko closed her eyes. She thought of her friends, Kuwabara Kazuma and his fiance Yukina. She thought about the accident that they had gotten into, and how they would pay with their lives.

**Flashback**

"Oi, Urameshi! Yukina and I wanna go to a spa. You wanna come?" Kuwabara's voice bellowed as he yelled after his friend Yuusuke.

Yuusuke turned around. "Hey Kuwabara." He glanced at Yukina, Kuwabara's fiance. She was so small, unlike Kuwabara. Yukina was always the quiet, sweet one. Kuwabara was the loud, happy one.

Yuusuke smiled. "Sure, I'll come. But only if *I* drive. I just got my liscense, after all."

Kuwabara nodded. "Sure, whatever."

The three got into a car, and began to drive. They arrived at the spa. Kuwabara immediately went to the sauna, followed by a massage. Yuusuke went to get a massage, and then went to the sauna. Yukina got a facial and a manicure, since she was getting more used to this "human thing".

A while later, when they were all done, they went out for ice cream. They had a pretty nice day so far. They decided to go home. Yuusuke hopped into the driver's seat and started driving.The happy threesome was completely unaware of the truck, which had a gas leakage and a heavy load, that was coming toward them.

Spatters of rain began to fall, and Yuusuke turned on his windshield wipers. Kuwabara sang along with the radio, placing his arm around a giggling Yukina. Yuusuke rolled his eyes, then began concentrating on the road once more. The rain began falling heavier by the minute, causing the road to be slippery. Yuusuke quickened the speed of the windshield wipers, but it was still difficult to see.

A few yards away, a truck took a sudden slip. It tipped over and landed on it's side. Yuusuke was too close to the car to stop in time. The car skidded off the road and sent the three into the nearby threeway intersection. At least two other cars had hit them. Above them, there were more surprises.

The truck was sliding off the ledge. It balanced for about 5 seconds after Yuusuke's car had landed. Then, the truck slid down the hill and landed on top of Yuusuke's car.

The gas leakage wasn't too much, but it caused an explosion. The three had a great chance of surviving if that explosion hadn't occured. Yukina was knocked into a coma instantly, with Yuusuke beaten up badly in the front. He was unconscious. Kuwabara remained, screaming for the two to wake up. It was no use. A trail of blood trickled down his mouth, down to his chin. As he glanced at Yukina, he saw tears dripping from her eyes, and splatters of blood covering her body.

After about 10 minutes, Kuwabara passed out. Soon afterwards, the paramedics arrived.

*************

Keiko bit her lip. She imagined the three in that car, in pain, suffering. As she was deep in thought, Botan showed up, floating in on her oar, her blue hair floating in the gentle breeze. Keiko glanced up at her, her eyes looking helpless. Botan stepped off her oar and landed subtly on the hospital floor. Keiko ran up to her and gave her a hug, not able to speak. She needed a friend to help her out right now.

Botan's usually merry attitude was replaced with sorrow and tranquility. She understood Keiko's pain. "I just heard." Botan's eyes glistened with assurance. Her perpetually rosy cheeks were now as white as snow.

Keiko mumbled, almost inaudibly. "Yuu....suke's..... going ....to die." Botan looked at her.

"I... know."

Keiko nodded. "And so is Kuwabara. They... they don't know about... Yukina... Sh-she's... still in a coma..." She closed her eyes as more tears swelled up. "I really hope... Yukina survives, at least..."

The two glanced at Yuusuke. He was awaken from his coma now, but he was asleep. He looked so peaceful, though they both knew how much pain he was in. None of them had any burn marks, but they were scarred, bruised, and covered in dry blood. It had only been two hours since the accident.

At that moment, Hiei rushed into the door, a flaming glare shooting from his eyes. He rushed straight to Yukina's bedside, and saw that she was in a coma. He immediately turned around and looked at the girls. "Who did this?" he demanded. The other two looked at him, obviously frightened.

Hiei turned around once again and looked at his sister. His red eyes were blank as he looked down. He saw through her, saw her pain and suffering. This made him more outraged.

Hiei simply sat down by Yukina's bedside. He buried his face in her blanket, as if he was going to cry. At that moment, the door opened, and Kurama entered.

"Sorry I'm late." Kurama managed a small smile, though it was obviously fake. "Hiei ran ahead when I told him his sister was in an accident." His long red hair flowed gently in the breeze of the open window. His green eyes sparkled in the light. "How are they?"

Keiko frowned. "Yuusuke and Kuwabara are...."

Botan knew Keiko couldn't say it. "They're... going to die."

Kurama's eyes widened along with Hiei's. "What about Yukina?" Hiei demanded.

"They don't know." Botan's pink eyes looked down, examining the markings on the floor. Her long blue ponytail fell over her eyes. "She's still in a coma. The boys woke up..."

Hiei glared at her, his red eyes dancing with anger. "If she dies, so do you."

Botan was strangely frightened by this statement, having nothing to do with the accident. "But...." She decided not to say anymore. She knew how upset Hiei was right now.

Hiei looked at the window, still glaring. Then his eyes shifted to Yukina. "A car accident? You've survived so much, why this?" He wasn't talking to Yukina alone, he was talking to the three victims. He just didn't want the girls to know that he cared, at least a little that the boys were going to die.

Kurama walked over and wrapped his arms around Hiei. "Calm down."

Hiei's eyes flickered, but he gave up and sat down in a chair next to Kurama.

Keiko knelt next to Yuusuke's bed. "I hope the doctors are wrong."
