La la lalalala ....

"She's dead..." Hame whispered his voice hoarse. There was a shocked, cold numbing silence, but Yoru immediately took action and began to preform CPR pressing his lips to hers, and pumping at her chest. Her chest rose as her lungs were filled, body bouncing as her chest was compressed.
Yet she remained lifeless, her dead eyes starring up at the others.
"Breathe!!" Yoru begged, pressing his lips once more to hers.
Finally...
"HUUUHHH...." Kakaeru took in a shuddering breath, and wide eyes looked around horrified. Her eyes were two marbles, blind, and unreal. Her frantic searching stopped when she saw Yoru; tears still streaming down her face she whispered,"Am I dead?" Yoru's face scrunched up, and his chin trembled as he picked her up, and she clung to him still completely terrified. "Your alive...Your alive, I'm sorry."
After several long minutes of her clinging to him Yoru finally whispered, "We passed...its not even nightfall yet...Lets go..."
As they headed forwards Genkai's, Hame looked at Kakaeru who still lay shaking, as if she was having a seizure, in Yoru's arms and asked, "Will-will she be okay?" Kashi looked up for Yoru's answer. "I don't know her heart...its beating so...so fast!" Yoru struggled with Kakaeru, whose nails sunk deep into his skin, her wide unseeing eyes fixed on his own frightened face.
But he was scared of her, instead of the nightmare demon.
Hame looked down and saw the small girl's entire body shaking and he shuddered when he realized, it wasn't shaking, it was her heart beating so quickly it moved her body.

When they entered the room they saw Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara looking horribly pale as if they'd gone through what they went through. Kuwabara lay on the floor in Yusuke's arms, he too shook with his own heart beats. Genkai approached them and Yoru lowered Kakaeru to the ground.
"My God..." Was all she could say.
"The nightmare demon...he came out...?" She asked surprised as she healed Kakaeru, and listened to their stories. "Yes...How'd-"
"Its all in Kakaeru's head...The nightmare demon...her..."parents"...I need to erase her memories of him...she will have an early heat attack if I don't." Genkai muttered something under her breath, and slowly Kakaeru stopped shaking and her eyes closed. Kuwabara sighed loudly and sat up, but looked a bit confused.
"All she'll remember is you rescued her. She'll remember the things before then, but no person can survive memories of the nightmare demon." Yoru nodded and Genkai continued to heal all their wounds. Yusuke and Yoru sat side by side while Hame watched as Kashi was healed.
"We felt what you all went through...slowly at first...Are you all sure your okay? It felt...like you lost the will to live for a moment..." Yoru nodded. "I'm fine...I never want to go through that again...did Kuwabara stop breathing too?" Yusuke nodded, "Genkai helped me give him CPR. She told me what to do." Yusuke flushed remembering when his lips touched Kuwabara's.
Kashi leaned against Kurama and he held her gently. "I know...What its like to lose a best friend...I'm sorry." Kashi nodded and closed her eyes tears rushing out them. "...I did a horrible thing today...I didn't help Kakaeru as she screamed...I almost let a friend die...again!" Kurama closed his eyes sadly, "Don't worry we'll teach you not to freeze again."
Hame turned sharply, exiting the room and going outside. He saw Hiei in a tree and jumped up joining him. They sat in silence at first, and finally Hame admitted, "I was scared." Hiei looked at him and simply nodded.."I would have let Kakaeru die. I feel odd..." Hiei almost smiled at the obvious confusion on his face, "It's called guilt. I felt it once to in the dark tournament." Hame nodded and swallowed hard, whispering "Kashi nearly..I was..." Hiei frowned, "It's not your fault, but you can protect her...like I protect Kurama." Hiei put an arm on Hame's back and Hame sat heavily on the limb. Hiei calmly rubbed his back, understanding what was going through the young man's head.
/LATER/
Kuwabara after an hour finally left the room, which Kakaeru laid in, and immediately was asked, "How is she?" Hiei and Hame came in as if on cue and the room went silent. "She's awake...doesn't remember the Nightmare demon, but she's asking for Kashi, Hame, and Yoru." Before Yoru even heard this, before Kuwabara had fully entered the room, he was already in the Kakaeru's room.
Inside a lamp was turned on and the light only gave off around her bedside. She lay there, still and silent, only moving her head ever so slightly to look at Yoru as he entered the room. She was a sickly pale color, and her clothes had been removed. As she sat up he saw she was in a long shirt.
"Hey." She whispered wearily.
Yoru drifted to her taking a seat by her and hugged the girl.
"How you feel...?"
"Tired."
"Well your not dead, so that's..ok...." Came Hame's bored voice. Standing in the door way, was Hame and Kashi. Kashi smiled widely and ran to Kakaeru jumping on her bed and hugging her. "I'm so glad your ok!" Kakaeru smiled and lay down on her pillows. "How about ya'll? Ya'll are ok, right?" Hame nodded and turned to leave. He paused a moment and said in a slightly annoyed voice, "You should try not to worry so daXm much about us and other people. That's why you were in that mess in the first place. We can handle ourselves."
"Yeah well least ya' know now I got your back, and you can trust me!"
"You didn't need to prove your self, just by looking at you I could tell we could trust you."
Kakaeru starred at him in surprise at first, eyes wide. She honestly hadn't expected those words to come out his mouth. Hame left the room, and Kashi turned to look at the closed door. "He's a big softy deep down, he is pretty complicated isn't he?" Kashi got up and bowed politely. "I'm very tired as well and I'll go get some sleep." Yoru watched her leave and when the door shut he stood. "I should leave to..." He started to walk when he felt her small hand grab his wrist. "Thank you..." She whispered to him a large goofy smile plastered on her face. He took her hand and knelt down pressing his forehead against hers, "Khaki, Khaki, Kaki...why do you think you need to than me? I should thank you, your brat!" He pulled away and she smiled drowsily. "Then a rematch tomorrow?" He smiled rolling his eyes.
"Yeah, but I'll beat you."
"Nope...I'll get you tomorrow..." Her eyes closed heavily and she fell asleep. Yoru tucked her in and left the room. "You big idiot."
He walked into the room where Genkai was and he watched the others mingle, discussing what would happen tomorrow. He saw Hiei and Kurama sitting down by each other holding onto each other whispering gently and Yoru smiled thinking, maybe Hame and Kashi would be like that. Loving, and at a complete calm in each others presence. Yoru also noticed how Kuwabara and Yusuke seemed to always be drawn to each other. They'd always wind up next to each other, just sitting quietly, they didn't even have to acknowledge each other. They were close, and he wondered if that meant he and Kakaeru would-"Yoru?"
He snapped out of his thoughts as Genkai called his name. "What are you doing...you should goto bed." Yoru shook his head and smiled. "I was just thinking...its kind of nice here..." Genkai smiled at him. "Thank you. Go on...Unlike Yusuke, who had 6 months, you have only 2 or 3 weeks to train." He nodded and quietly left the room finding a suitable room for himself.
As he lay down, his thoughts churned in his head. Would his new friends really be struck down, just like those images he had seen?
