It was about 6:00 PM and the Kuwabaras went to see Yukina in the hospital. Amanda felt worst about it.

"Oh mommy, are you gonna be okay?!," she cried.

"I'm doing fine, sweetie. Please don't worry about me."

"What am I supposed to do?" she said while holding onto her mom.

"Just take care of yourself okay. Worry about school. Focus on other things. Work on perfecting your healing powers. I know you've been practicing."

"Can I heal you from this!?"

"No. This is too much for you. I'm using all my power on myself."

"I'm sorry I can't do anything, mommy."

"It's okay, Amanda. Just let me be taken care of here."

Kuwabara was on the other side of the bed with them. Ray was across the room trying to keep himself composed. A few tears had fallen but he looked away from everything and wiped them up. Then his cell phone rang. It was Marquesa calling. He stepped out of the room to answer it.

"Hello?"

Hi Ray. So you know what we were talking about doing last night? Wait are you alone right now, cuz I don't want anyone overhearing anything.

"I'm at the hospital right now to see my mom, but yea I stepped out of the room."

Okay, I don't know if you're gonna believe this but I actually went to Demon World.

"Seriously?! Did you get sick?!"

No. But it turns out the illness did come from Demon World. I didn't get sick because I went to the part of the World where you don't find the disease. It's all in the East of Makai.

"Wow."

Yea. You know there's AIDS in Africa? Well in the East of Makai, there's Mareqine's Disease. Only it's not as bad as AIDS! Really it can be cured.

"Oh thank God. You want me to tell your dad while I'm here?"

Um no. I'll do that. I don't know how I'm gonna tell him with out getting killed but-

"I'll explain to him," Hiei cut in.

"Who was that?!" said Ray.

I actually brought Hiei back with me.

"You found that dude?!"

Yes! Can you believe it?

"Did Brian go with you?"

No. And I haven't told Brian yet. But I know your dad isn't working so do you think you guys can come to my house?

"Yea but should I tell my dad Hiei's there?"

Sure but don't announce it right now or anything. Mention it on the car ride or something kay? I'll get Brian over here.

"Alright I'll see you in a bit and uh, good job. Little fox girl found one Demon in the entire world all by herself."

Thanks Ray. I'll see you in a bit.

They hung up.

Hiei was on a sofa next to Marquesa. Rose was exploring the house.

"Now to call Brian."

"Hey, you're alive?" Brian asked when he picked up the phone.

Yes Bri. I'm alive and clean.

"Thank god. You know your dad probably would have hated me if you got sick and it was my fault for letting you go."

Oh please you're like a son to him. He wouldn't hate you. But guess what. I brought Hiei here. He's here. Right now. A foot away from me.

"Really you found him?"

Wasn't easy getting to him but yea. You wanna come meet him?

"Um is he scary?"

Actually no. Come on down.

"Okay. My dad will be home from work in like an hour. So I'll come then okay?"

Gotcha. See ya.

"Bye."

"This is very homey," Rose stated.

"Thanks," replied Marquesa.

"Quite a garden too," she added.

"Yup. Plants are important to us. That's how we fight."

"Yea I heard that's how you got into our stronghold," Hiei said.

"I didn't do any damage or anything! Really," Marquesa tried to defend herself.

"I know. I'm saying it's a good thing. I'm glad Kurama trains you. And for you to take down my security means he must train you really well." This made Marquesa smile. "I won't let him eat you up for going to find me. Because I think you did the right thing."

"Thanks Mr. Hiei."

The doorbell rang. Marquesa ran to open it. Hiei stood up. When she opened the door, Kuwabara was the first one in sight and his eyes went straight behind her to his old friend.

"HIEI! It really is you!" Kuwabara ran inside and grabbed Hiei in a painfully tight hug. Hiei responded with a short return of it.

"Yes yes it's me, you fool. Let me go."

"Aw I miss that attitude! I'm sorry Marq. When Ray told me you went all the way to Demon World and brought back Hiei, I kinda didn't believe him. But wow! It's true," Kuwabara said.

"I had to. I mean, I overheard you dads talking about how this disease could have come from Demon World and I knew my dad wouldn't have the time to go there so I was just trying to help."

"So? Is it true? Did demons get us sick?"

"Yes. I know what disease this is but we need to find the doctor in Demon World who knows how to cure it. And I think Kurama can find him or her" said Hiei.

Amanda and Ray were on the sofa with Marquesa.

"Oh Hiei, these are my kids. This is Amanda. No she's not naturally blond but everyone agrees it's a good look on her."

"Pleased to meet you," she said to who she didn't know was her uncle.

"You look just like your mother," Hiei said.

"And she is just like her mother. Beautiful, sweet and powerful in healing."

"I'm actually not that powerful."

"She's getting there though. And she has ice powers. And this is my son Raymond. Everyone calls him Ray."

"How are you," Ray smiled. "I'm still learning the spirit sword."

"I can tell you both have a lot of energy that you haven't tapped into," Hiei said.

"We aren't allowed to use it unless we're being attacked," said Ray.

"But our dad, as well as Yusuke and Kurama, all train us hard to be prepared," Amanda added.

"Heh heh I kinda broke that rule finding this guy," said Marquesa.

"Well you scared the heck out of our guards. That's real impressive," Rose said.

"Oh hey guys this is Rose. She's a gymnast, like I used to be only she's better," Marquesa said.

"Heh. I've been doing it my whole life. I fell in love with it when my dad put me on the beam."

Hiei smiled for a second.

"You guys chat. I need to talk to Kuwabara," said Hiei.

"You guys can go in the backyard if you want," Marquesa said.

Hiei followed Kuwabara outside.

"I hear Yukina got sick," Hiei said with anger.

"Yea she did. But I swear, we didn't know about this epidemic when she went out of town. Don't blame it on me. If I had known about what was going around, I would have discouraged her," Kuwabara explained.

"What was she doing out of town?"

"She went to go visit Genkai."

"This is called Mareqine's Disease. Marquesa may have saved your frickin human race by coming to me. There aren't many doctors in Demon World that know how to treat this but I think Kurama knows one."

"Well he should be home soon. I hope he doesn't get too mad at Marq. It was a brave thing to do."

"Everyone is gonna be looking for Kurama though. They all thought he was dead, but they saw his face in her demon form."

"Haha she is a flippin' spitting image of him."

"HIEI!"

They heard Yusuke yell from behind them. Yusuke gave Hiei the same welcome as Kuwabara did.

"This is a serious problem Yusuke," Hiei told him.

"And you're here to help us save the world again," Yusuke responded.

"I'm here to punish the demons that have been spreading it."

"Oh yea it's against the law over there right?"

"Exactly."

"Hey let's go back inside. It's getting cold," suggested Kuwabara.

All the kids were in the living room. They were all seated except Marquesa who was looking out the window in anxiety waiting for her father to pull up. Yusuke put an arm around her.

"Don't worry Marquesa. You did him a big favor."

"I hope he understands that was my intenti- oh my god. I'm outta here!" she said running to her room.

Everyone stared in the direction she ran. Yusuke saw that Kurama was pulling up outside.
