Chapter 7
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That night Cindy cried herself to sleep. She hated the baby she was being. She knew that Kurama was right. After all, he was very sensible and wise. He must hate her for being such a little girl and being so narcissistic. Cindy was terrified of the truth but vowed that she would overcome it and win the respect of Kurama and the others.
A few hours past and Cindy was sound asleep, no thought or worry. The balcony window was left open, so that the quarter moon could share its light with her. That wasn't the only thing it let in. A small slimy minion with blue skin (familiar?) moved snakelike to her bedside and pulled out a vile with an amethyst liquid in it. "Here girly drink this." He hissed and parted Cindy's lips with his grubby little fingers and dumped the contents of the vile down her throat. After, she began to burn up instantly. The minion left with a deadly smile on his face. "Sleep well." He hissed sarcastically.
***********
The visions in her mind were happy and fun. Cindy was not her Ningen self she was Hoshiko, and her sister and mother were having a small dinner around a candle and under the moonlight. But as soon as she felt a liquid dash down her throat, the pictures swirled and were gone. There was only dark, only terror, only cold. Cindy was in fear and tried to wake herself up but she was lost.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kayko went to their school, Kurama went to his, and Hiei was off somewhere, no one knew. Botan was picking up the dead spirits. Koenma had told Machiko to wake Hoshiko so that they could go to their own school.
Machiko walked to her sister's room and saw that Cindy was breathing softly and her brow was covered in a thin sheet of sweat, and he skin was pale white. What happened to her? Machiko's face frowned in worry and she touched her sister's forehead and pulled back quickly, it was burning hot. Machiko backed up and ran out the door. He ran into Yukina.
"I'm sorry." Machiko said
"What is it? What's wrong?" Yukina asked
"My sister, she is burning up with a fever. And I don't know what it is." Machiko said frantically.
"Maybe I can help." Yukina returned with Machiko and took a look at Cindy. "I've never seen this type of flu before. This is weird." Yukina said. "I think we might need more than just my healing powers. Can you get Koenma for me? I'll try to make her temperature go down as much as I can." Machiko nodded and headed down the hall.

"Forgive me ladies, I must be going." Kurama said as he was trying to get to his next class. He could hear the girls squeal as he left them. "It never stops."
Kurama, or Shuichi as he was known at school, was worried about Cindy that whole night and now at school. He felt as if something was not right but what could it have been? Not knowing made him anxious to get back to the Rei Kai. Soon lunch arrived and Kurama was leaning against his locker with his hands in his red pockets. He was only listening to a few girls brag about a few minor things. It's not that he did not care it was that he cared about someone else more. As the bell rang Kurama saw a girl with blue hair in a red schoolgirl uniform. Botan. He casually walked over to her.
"What are you doing here?" he asked with concern.
"Oh, Kurama, we cannot figure out what's wrong with her. She needs your help. I figured since you knew so much about Makai plants that you could-" she never took a breath until she was interrupted.
"Whoa. Slow down. Who is in trouble?" Kurama had one guess but he did not want to say it.
"Cindy." That was all he needed to hear. He never bothered to excuse himself from school. He left with Botan right away.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching in his mirror, "Excellent. Kurama will never figure out what plant I used and if he does, he will know that there is no remedy, well except for the one my minions have, that is." Natsu said to himself.
*********
"Where am I? Why is it so dark? I cannot breath. Help.someone help." Cindy yelled in vain although no one on the outside would hear her. She could feel her life slipping.
Will Kurama know what plant it is? Will he find a cure? Can the Urameshi team handle the minions from Natsu? (Just like in the show, I have to asked the dumb questions) Star
