Chapter 12

"YUKINA!"

Kuna shot straight up from bed, hearing Kuwabura yell. She ran to where she heard everybody was. Kuna found them huddled around Yukina. Yukina was awfully pale and she was sweating a lot. Botan felt her forehead. She pulled her hand back, a worried expression on her face.

"She's got a high fever and as you can see, she doesn't look too good." Botan ran to get a bowl of water and a towel. She ran back and wet the towel and placed it on Yukina's forehead. Kuna heard a slight tapping at the front door and saw Gehai's face. She looked at everyone else. Nobody seemed to have noticed. She quietly shrank back into the crowd and walked toward the front door. She looked back and still nobody noticed. She turned back around and slipped out the front door. Little did she know, Hiei had noticed.

"The baka onna...Yukina's sick and she has the nerve to go meet up with that guy again!" He thought. He snuck out as well and hid himself in the shadows near Gehai and Kuna.

"What's the matter?" Kuna asked.

"Just letting you know why the ice demon's sick." Gehai said.

"Why is she sick?"

"It's a technique that I learned but I haven't mastered."

"You did that? You made her sick?"

"Yes. So that later when the Spirit Detectives are hurt, she can't heal them."

"That was not a wise move, baka," Hiei spoke from the shadows. He walked out revealing himself. "Hiei." Kuna said.

"Shut up, onna. You're a traitor." Hiei said, angrily. "You planned on making Yukina sick?"

"No, I didn't. Hiei you have to believe me." Kuna pleaded.

"Hn. I believed you before and you ended up lying."

Gehai then grabbed her arms and twisted it around her back, hard.

"Ow, Gehai! What are you doing?!." Kuna said after she yelped.

"Stupid girl! You actually believed me?" Gehai smirked and pulled her arms behind her back harder and Kuna screamed. This caused Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabura to run out.

"Believe what?" Kuna asked.

Gehai then let go and she fell forward. She sat up and rubbed her arms.

"Hello Spirit Detectives." He smirked.

"Do we know you?" Kurama inquired.

"What are you talking about? You don't know him?" Kuna asked puzzled.

The boys shook their heads.

Gehai then hunched over and it looked like he was transforming. He stood back up and instead of Gehai there, Ying was standing there. Kuna's eyes grew wide.

"Oh my god. I remember now. Be careful whom you trust! I didn't listen to my instincts." She thought.

"Hello, Kuna. You can't say you've forgotten about my best ability, transformation. I can transform into anything I wish. Hello, Spirit Detectives. Hello, Hiei." Ying said.

Hiei unsheathed his sword and said, "How do you know my name?"

"Why you were the one who saved Kuna here from me and them." He pointed at Anekai and Tailuta who appeared behind him.

Hiei's eyes grew wide. Everybody looked at Hiei.

Kuna's eyes grew big as well. "That's why he looked so familiar. Hiei. My childhood friend. Oh my god I remember him now." She thought.

"Hn. Yes it's true." Hiei answered.

A/N: The girls didn't hear Kuna scream and the boys told the girls that they were going out to look for herbs to maybe heal Yukina. Please R&R!
