~The Next Day - 6:04 am~
Hiei arrived back at Kurama's house early the next morning. He would have gotten there sooner, but he had suddenly felt very tired, so the short youkai had rested before heading back to the Minamino residence.
Hiei landed in the tree outside the kitsune's room, noticing that the window was still open. Shrugging that off, Hiei jumped into the house, immediately spotting Kurama.
The fox was curled up in the bed, the covers wrapped around him. Hiei saw that goose feathers covered the room, and that the pillow was missing.
Hiei walked over to the bed and studied Kurama as he slept. 'He looks very cute when he's asleep . . . Wait, what in Makai am I thinking THAT for?!'
Hiei was interrupted from his shocked thoughts as he saw something glistening on Kurama's cheek. He looked closer, and saw that it was a tear.
The pyro youkai took a surprised step back.
"Kurama was crying . . . over . . . me . . .?" he said out loud, but suddenly he felt a wave of pain wash over him. Hiei doubled up in agony, and before he blacked out he saw a pair of worried emerald eyes.
"Kitsune . . ."
~+~
Kurama woke up instantly when he heard Hiei's cry of pain. The fox lept out of the bed just in time to see Hiei sink to the floor, clutching his body as if it was going to fall apart.
The red-headed youkai ran over to his friend, and grabbed him by the shoulders. Hiei looked up at Kurama, his crimson eyes wide in pain.
"Kitsune . . ."
The short youkai fainted, and his unconscious body fell against Kurama, who held onto him, fear clearly in his eyes.
Kurama suddenly felt Hiei's spirit energy decrease dramatically, which only fueled Kurama's theory from two days ago.
"Hiei's . . . dying."
***
An hour later, Hiei was back in the bed, every now and then groaning as another wave of pain swept through his body. His temperature was well over 108, and sweat was pouring down his face.
Kurama was, of course, always by his side. He only left to get something to eat and to use the bathroom. Other than that, the fox was always there, praying to himself that he wouldn't loose his closest friend.
A little while later, the doorbell rang. Kurama got up slowly and went downstairs, hoping that it wasn't his kasaan. If it was, he'd have to go through a long explanation of why an extremely sick friend of his was in their house, and not at his own.
To Kurama's relief, it was only Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"Ohayo, Kurama." the two said in unison.
"Likewise." Kurama muttered.
"Kurama, we thought we felt Hiei's energy go down drastically. Is there something wrong with him?" Yusuke asked, a pinch of worry in his voice.
The kitsune nodded. "He's got the chickenpox."
Kuwabara burst out laughing, but shut up when Kurama gave him a death glare very similar to Hiei's.
"But it's much worse then just the common disease. Because youkai aren't supposed to catch the chickenpox, they aren't as immune to it as humans." Kurama continued.
Yusuke gasped quietly to himself. "What are you saying, Kurama?"
The fox turned away and started to walk back upstairs. "Come and see for yourself." Kuwabara and Yusuke glanced at each other before following Kurama back into his room.
When they reached the said room, the two humans gasped loudly when they saw Hiei.
"Now do you see what's happening?" Kurama said softly as he sat down next to the three-eyed youkai. "He's dying, Yusuke. We're loosing him."
=========================================
A/N: Ack, bad chapter . . . again. ;-; I'm not too good at angst . . .
Also, if anyone was wondering why Kurama hasn't caught the chickenpox from Hiei, it's because he's already had them, making him immune to it. ::nods::
