Jin starred at Kurama until he was gone—wondering what he was talking about. As the door closed, he peered over to his girlfriend. "You better be wakin' up soon, girly. You've been tellin me most everythin in yer life. An' I'm wantin ta be knowin this secret of yers."
Meanwhile, At Genkai's dojo
"Hey! Pacifier Breath!" Yusuke shouted into the brief case whereas he was shaking it angrily
"You know Yusuke, that has no value whatsoever… you know, shaking it like that…" Kurama cut in with a sad tone
"Shut-up, Kurama, as far as I'm concerned, it's working!" he shouted as the screen popped on
"Yusuke… Yusuke! What is it!" Koenma asked grumpily
"I haveta ask you something," he grunted out
"…what is it Yusuke?" Koenma asked annoyed that he was probably bothered for nothing of great importance, anyway.
"You're the Ruler of Spirit World… you can look up peoples lives right…?"
"Yes, Yusuke, I can." Koenma answered rubbing his temples
"Then look up Susmai's. I wanna know something. And I wanna know it now." He said in a low tone
"Why Yusuke?" Koenma asked
Yusuke blushed slightly and grunted. "I don't wanna say it, aren't you physic or something? Read my mind!"
"I can't look it up if I don't know what I'm looking for…" Koenma growled
Kurama sighed and shoved Yusuke away and looked into the monitor. "We want to know if Susmai is pregnant or not, Koenma."
"And something else too!" Yusuke moaned out
Kurama sighed again. "And Yusuke wants to know more about this thing she's going through."
Koenma was silent as he flipped though a pale folder, paper after paper. "I should be doing this…" he sighed. "I'm not saying when she will be, but she isn't right now. That's all I'm going to say."
Just then, mostly everyone's heart sunk. They weren't going to see any midgets running around that looked like Jin or Susmai… well… that was disappointing…
"There was something else you guys wanted to know?" Koenma asked sensing that something was wrong.
Kurama shook his head to regain a conscious state. "Yes, there was Koenma."
"And…?" he asked
Kurama was suddenly rolling to his right on the ground, and Yusuke was looking into the monitor. "Kurama told us something about her curse. It was called "The Curse Of The Sagaras'" or something like that."
"Yes, I'm aware of that curse. What about it, Yusuke?" Koenma asked
"That's what I wanna know! What's up with it! What does it do?" Yusuke asked. "I mean, all we know is that it's something bad, and I don't even think Jin knows it!"
"It IS something bad Yusuke. Something very very bad." Koenma sighed
"Well are you going to tell us?" Shishi asked curious
"It happened… about two thousand years ago." He started. "An ancestor of Susmai's had this same curse. It hasn't been taken care of since then. But as your life goes by, and you become stronger and stronger, so does your demonic strength. Well those branded with the curse had a few options. They can either—take action and try to prevent it, two— kill themselves on the spot because of it, or three—let it run its course. If they choose to take action, they follow a scroll that has been pasted down though the generations and try to gather the items that get rid of this curse, it's no doubt a life threatening task. If they choose to kill themselves, they obliviously die and then it's passed down to another member in the family."
"Wait… how's that? How does it get passed to another family member? I mean if they're dead, doesn't it end?" Kuwabara asked
"No, Kuwabara, the Sagara family tree has four children each, and since it's been the third child all this time, it would get passed to the fourth child, or the last heir."
"And what happens if they choose to let it run its course, Koenma?" Kurama asked. "What happens?"
"That's hands down the saddest option to pick. If they choose to let it run its course, then when they reach a certain age, and their level is at maximum, it begins. Slowly but surely, they begin to change. This happens over a three-month period. And on the fourth month, they loose it all. Within the first three months, their mind changes wholly. They resort to brutal murder, and vicious killing. There is no more logical thinking; they become the very demon that they hold within. If something annoys them, they get rid of it. They would go to any extent to kill it. And since we're talking about Susmai, she'd pick apart every one of you to what she unconsciously finds annoying about you. Then, when her kistune mind takes over, her body will change, and she will kill you some how in some slow and painful way. She'll become a murder. And since she loves you all, I have a feeling she has picked to do something about it?" Koenma asked
Yusuke nodded.
"SHE'S GONNA KILL ME!" Kuwabara shouted.
"I'm sure you'd be the first to go, baka…" Hiei answered crossing his arms, somewhat uncomfortable.
"Can we go with her? I mean for protection?" Yusuke asked
Koenma shook his head. "No, Yusuke, you cannot. She has to do this on her own."
"But—!"
"No, Yusuke." Koenma said sternly. "If you truly want her to finish this alive and well done, you'll leave her alone. That goes for the rest of you as well. Good-night, everyone." He said as the screen turned to a black nothingness
"I'm going to go home now, have a pleasant night everyone." Kurama said as he went out the dojo doors.
Hiei silently followed after Kurama with his head slightly lowered.
"We should head home too, Kuwabara…" Yusuke said in a hushed voice, closing the silver suitcase.
"Yeah…" Kuwabara nodded in agreement.
"I'll see you all tomorrow then." Shishi grabbed his swords and started out the door.
"Wakamaru!" Yusuke shouted.
Shishi looked back. "What, Urameshi?"
"Tell Jin what you heard… I think he needs to know too."
"Right."
Back with Jin and Susmai...
"This be the tenth time I be doing this, girly…" Jin growled dipping the washcloth in the water bowl again. "For two hours… and thirty minutes… WHEN ARE YOU GONNA BE WAKIN' UP!" he yelled to himself sitting on the couch across from Susmai. Then he sighed: "Whatever…"
"I'm sorry Jin, I can't… not until you're asleep… along with everyone else…" Susmai thought as she kept her eyes shut and breathing slow.
Yep. I hate myself... I'm so evil. Anyway, Review please! Adios!
