Well, I'll get straight to it! You know the drill so enjoy!

She said "Some days I feel like shit,Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"

Hiei woke in a cold sweat, his heart racing. He looked around the room to see Kurama asleep in a chair. He walked up to the fox and put his hand on his shoulder, "Fox."

Kurama's face jumped up and he smiled, "Welcome back Hiei."

"Where is Isabella?"

Kurama paused for moment, "She's…uh…in Koenma's office."

Hiei narrowed his eyes, "What is it?"

Kurama shook his head furiously, "Nothing."

"You're a bad liar for a thief."

When the door shut behind Hiei, Kurama ran his hands through his hair. He knew Isabella had something to do with Hiei getting better, but he just didn't know what. Whatever it was, he did know Hiei wouldn't be happy.

The doors to Koenma's office opened and Hiei walked in. Koenma held his breath.

"Where is she?"

"Hiei-"

"I asked you a question."

"She's in a special care unit. Listen to me," he gave Hiei a look, "She did this to save your life. I suggest you behave yourself."

Hiei merely turned around and walked out of the room. He closed the doors behind him and leaned against them. He tried to prepare himself to face someone who had most likely given their life for his. He then proceeded to go down into the SPC unit. He found her room and walked in. She was leaning up with a sketch pad in her hands. He noticed she was pale and looked tired.

"Isabella."

She looked up from her work and smiled, "Welcome back."

His heart sank when he looked in her eyes. What once held a brilliant silver now bore a dull grey. He walked up to her bed, "Why?"

She laid the sketch book down and looked at him, "Because, you were going to die."

"That's no reason Isabella. Now you're in danger."

She rolled her eyes, "Hiei my body can process the poison. Yours was rejecting it and killing you. I had no choice."

"It could still kill you though," now he was getting angry.

She shrugged, "Yes, yes it could; however, it's not likely."

"It was a stupid decision."

She sighed and went back to her drawing, ignoring him. To her, this was typical Hiei. "Did you hear about the town?" He shook his head. "It gone, all of it. Everyone was wiped out, as were the factories."

He didn't really know what to say. So many mixed emotions were swimming inside his head. He ran a hand through his hair, "I'm sorry."

"It's ok, maybe in the end it is for the best."

He stood and walked to the door, "I need to go."

When the door clicked shut Isabella laid her head against the pillow and took in a sharp breath. Pain coursed through her body. She hit the button and a nurse came in knowingly. She moved a switch on the IV and patted Isabella's arm, "I think what you did was brave." Isabella leaned back into the pillow and sighed, "I'm sure he does too. If you need anything else, hit the button."

Sleep enveloped her soon after.

The guys were sitting in their quarters watching T.V. when Botan came in. Kuwabara;s face lightened when he saw Yukina and the small bump of her stomach. Yusuke saw Keiko and swallowed. Maria was leaned on his shoulder asleep. He merely nodded a hello and turned back to the T.V.

"How is she?" Botan asked.

"She seemed fine about thirty minutes ago," Maria's sleepy voice answered.

"I'm going to go see her."

Keiko made her way to the kitchen and leaned over the sink. She didn't know someone else was behind her.

"Keiko?"

She turned to see the blonde Yusuke was with. She walked forward and held out her hand, "I'm Maria. Yusuke's told me a lot about you."

Keiko shook her hand, "He has?"

She smiled, "Yes. You're an amazing girl and I just wanted to let you know that I'm not trying to take your place in Yusuke's life. I respect you."

Keiko didn't really know what to say, "Uh…thanks." She smiled, "Yes, thank you very much. It means a lot."

They proceeded to sit at the table and talk. They had a lot in common. Both were good at the same subjects and were very loyal to their friends. Yusuke came looking for Maria and quietly stood outside of the kitchen door.

"We should take you guys out shopping sometime soon. I know you'll need clothing," Keiko offered.

"That would be awesome. These bras are not fitting the way they should," Maria laughed. Keiko followed and they went into a fit of giggles. Yusuke breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.

"I thought I heard some racket."

Both girls turned and glared at him. "You're one to talk," Keiko said.

"I agree," Maria teased.

"Now don't go gangin' up on me."

The girls rolled their eyes and made their way back into the living room. Hiei was sitting in the window looking out at nothing. Koenma walked in and sighed, "Boys I need you in my office."

"So you found him," Kurama said.

"Yes."

"It doesn't do us any good. Isabella is the only one who can kill him," Hiei spat.

"We found a way around that," Koenma began, "I have talked with Bella and she told me there is a loop hole. Someone of her bloodline can kill him as well."

Kurama's eyes narrowed, "So you mean Victoria?"

"Precisely."

"I don't like this," Kurama ran a hand through his hair.

"I don't either but this man needs to be taken care of before he decides for found two. Isabella is doing better but she in no shape to even walk, let alone fight. It's our only option."

"I'll do it," came a voice from the back of the room. Kurama closed his eyes and swallowed. Victoria walked up to Koenma's desk, "I want a piece of the son of a bitch."

Isabella smiled, she knew what her cousin had said. "Get 'em girl," she hoarsely said. The nurse cranked up the pain medication again and wiped Isabella's forehead that was gleamed in sweat. At this point there was nothing more they could do for her pain, she was at the limit. The nurse placed ice packs on her body to get the fever down. At this time, they could only sit back and watch.
