I have a hundred excuses for not updating earlier. Well there was in the homework from school, the geography challenge that I got into, I hurt my finger a few times, my dad just went out of the country on short notice also I've been lazy and working on the sequel for "If Only Tears Could Bring You Back."

Disclaimer: I don't own YYH or IY, sad I know.

A Dark Moon and A Red Rose

Chapter 5: The start of the love of it (him)

As the spider demon pounced on Kagome she was pinned under its body. Sango launched her boomerang at the spider but it was reflected by a barrier. It span back at its master and knocked her over with its force. "Sango" cried Kagome trying to get the spider off her.

"Spirit…" started Yusuke.

"No don't Yusuke, your attack will just rebound and hit you" warned Kurama.

"Right" nodded Yusuke lowering his hand.

"All we can do now is hope Kagome can hold her own" muttered Kawabara. Hiei plainly nodded. This was the detective's sister after all, but some how Hiei kept on glancing at the unconscious Sango.

"Get off me" screamed Kagome blasting the spider with some of her miko powers. The spider howled in pain and glared at Kagome. Kagome seemed shocked; the spider had withstood her powers. The spider youkai plainly smirked evilly at Kagome and leaned down slowly.

Kagome eyes went frantic, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" she screamed. It swooped down the last second and bit her arm hard. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" she screamed in pain, while unleashing some of her miko powers.

"I have done what was needed" cackled the spider youkai before disintegrating into ash, also taking the barrier with him.

Kagome sat up carefully clutching her arm where the youkai had bit her. Kurama and Yusuke rushed over to Kagome and helped her stand.

Sango chose that time to wake up; rubbing the back of her head she glanced at Kagome while wincing. Her eyes went wide at the bite. "What type of youkai was that" asked Sango standing up and running up beside Kagome.

"It was a poisonous one, don't worry I'll be fine" muttered Kagome slowly. A wave of dizziness washed over Kagome suddenly as she stumbled. Kurama steadied her, and she smiled gratefully at him. "Thanks" she whispered.

"No problem" grinned Kurama. Suddenly the world around Kagome went pitch black as she fell slowly into Kurama's arms.

"We need to extract the poison fast" growled Yusuke.

"How" cried Sango. Her best friend or sister was dying slowly and all she could do was stand there and watch.

"Yukina, we can bring her to Yukina" chirped Kawabara.

"Good idea…wait what did I just say. Kawabara came up with an idea" gasped Yusuke.

"I'm not that stupid" bit out Kawabara.

"Of course not" scoffed Hiei.

"No time for chit-chat let's go to this Yukina person so we can help Kagome" growled Sango. Kagome had gone paler and her breathing had gone raspy and uneven.

"Sango is right, we better get to Yukina before Kagome's condition gets any worse" agreed Kurama.

Hiei and Kurama who was holding Kagome Bridal style and turned inward raced off first followed by Yusuke and Sango, then poor Kawabara.

During the run Kagome grabbed fist of Kurama's shirt surprising him a bit. He looked down at her pale complexion and felt a tingle in his heart. "What's this feeling" he thought.

He looked down at her when her face seemed to relax a bit and her face seemed more content. Kurama sighed heavily, "why did I chose to hug Kagome back then, I could have done something else to stop the arguing. I'm so confused, could it be that I've finally fallen for a girl" Kurama thought to himself.

As they reached Genkai's temple where Yukina was residing the demons jumped up the stairs, where the two more agile humans dashed up them as Kawabara lingered behind. "Wait up, it was my idea in the first place" gasped Kawabara heavily.

"Too bad" retorted Sango.

When everyone had finally reached the top Yukina was already checking Kagome and identifying the poison. "This will be easy to remove; all I need to do is extract the poison and give her some antidote to get rid of any left over poison. This will be painful for Kagome, but she'll do okay" smiled Yukina.

"I'll stay with her tonight" suggested Kurama.

"Why you?" questioned Yusuke.

"Well you do have a date with Keiko." implied Kurama.

"That's right, thanks for reminding me." Grinned Yusuke sheepishly.

"Hn." scoffed Hiei in distaste.

"Bye." waved Yusuke as he ran back down Genkai's shrine steps.

"I better head home or Shizuru will have my head, bye" grinned Kawabara and started down the flight of stairs.

"Well then, that leaves Kagome, Sango, Hiei and I" smiled Kurama.

"I'll be out here fox" spoke Hiei.

"I guess you don't get colds" smirked Sango.

"Baka, your mindless nonsense bothers me" scowled Hiei.

"I'm not a baka, you little…" growled Sango.

"Bitch"

"Bastard"

"Enough already" sighed Yukina, "Kurama can you carry Kagome into your spare room. She can rest there tonight so that you can keep watch over her"

"Okay then" smiled Kurama and lifted Kagome up bridal style.

"I'll be there in a second to take out the poison" Yukina sweetly smiled.

"That's fine" grinned Kurama and headed into the shrine house to rest.

"So Sango…if that's your name, you can stay in Yusuke's room" instructed Yukina.

"That's fine" nodded Sango and took off into the house trying to locate Yusuke's room.

"Hiei, will you be sleeping outside" asked Yukina.

"Yes" replied Hiei.

"Well then good night, I'll see you in the morning" bowed Yukina and turned around going into the house, "and did you know that Sango and Kagome are demons"

"Yes I did" replied Hiei.

"Sango is fire just like you"

"I know, but that does not mean a thing" scoffed Hiei.

"Well then just so that you know, I think you're going to get an un-biological sister in law soon" giggled Yukina. (In this story Kurama and Hiei are like brothers, kind of like Kagome and Sango are like sisters)

"Hn" snorted Hiei.

"Good night" stated Yukina and disappeared into the house from view.

"I also hope that soon, I will get my biological sister" thought Hiei as he jumped into a tree, thinking about his sister that didn't know who he was. Yukina, had been searching for her long lost brother for a while now, but he was right under her nose. The only problem now was that would she want a convicted thief as a big brother.

Kurama was sitting beside Kagome as she slept in his bed. "Why do I feel so strongly about her, she is Yusuke's cousin" thought Kurama, "or is it true that this Kurama has fallen in love?"

"Kurama, here's some bedding for you to sleep on tonight" smiled Yukina as she walked into the room.

"Thank you" bowed Kurama, laying out the bedding and blanket.

"You can stay here while I heal Kagome" stated Yukina. She pulled out a small cup and a small jug of liquid. She forced a bit of the antidote down Kagome's throat before placing the cup and jug back onto the ground. She lifted her hands to place them over Kagome's heart and a light started to come from them.

A few minutes later the light diminished and Kagome was breathing evenly and her cheeks had regained some color. "Well she should be better by tomorrow, stay with her Kurama she might have some small surges of pain now and then" instructed Yukina.

"Hai, Yukina. I'll stay, don't worry about it, you should get some rest. You look exhausted" smiled Kurama kindly.

"Thank you" smiled Yukina and walked out of the room to get some much needed rest. Kurama looked at Kagome and she was sweating and was whimpering slightly. Kurama took a cloth from a table and started to wipe the sweat away. Kurama sighed lightly as Kagome continued to whimper softly.

Suddenly just all of a sudden Kagome snatched Kurama's hand and held it firmly to her chest as though it were an average teddy bear. With the sudden movement Kurama lurched foreword a bit and tumbled onto the bed, surprisingly not waking Kagome. His position was kind of like that of a person hugging there loved one in their sleep.

"Looks like I won't be moving for a while" thought Kurama, "but surprisingly I don't want to." Kurama closed his eyes waiting for sleep to take him.

"I love kitsunes" murmured Kagome in her sleep snuggling closer to Kurama. Kurama's eyes snapped open and he stared at Kagome for a moment.

"I gotta be dreaming, but of course Kagome would love kitsunes, she is one" thought Kurama, and with that thought in mind he fell asleep.
