Sorry for taking so long to up-date!! With Halloween so near and my costume taking up all my time, it's been hard to find some time to just sit and write...

Kurama's Younger Sister, Kurumi

Chapter 26: Kurumi Has A Cold!?

"Well, she 's sick alright..." Botan sighed after taking Kurama's temperature.

As Kurama opened his eyes, everything was spinning and blurry. He blinked, trying to clear his vision, but it didn't help.

"Are you feeling alright?" Botan asked and gently caressed his head with a cool, damp towel.

He didn't feel up to talking or moving so he closed his eyes and tried to fall back asleep, but voices started to work up.

"How is she?"

"I dunno, she just fell back asleep..."

"I hope she's alright! She really scare me back there!"

"Yeah, I'm sure she'll come around. She's probably just got the flu or a cold."

Kurama's head hurt whenever he tried to think or focus, so all he could do was rest up.

Ugghh, why me? He jumped when skin made contact with his hand. And then he heard a strong voice speaking softly, "It's okay, it's just me."

Tashi?

"I'm here by your side, Kurumi, so don't worry." Tashi's voice spoke. Kurama somehow managed a nod and fell asleep.

Kurumi looked so beautiful when she slept, she looked like an angel. Tashi gently ran the back of his hand down Kurumi's cheek.

So soft... It's sad that such a beautiful creature should fall ill... He started to bend down to kiss her on the forehead, but was stopped by the sound of Hiei's voice.

"What did you do with Karasu?" Hiei looked seriously into Tashi's eyes, demanding the answer with a cold stare.

Tashi, though off guard by the question, replied with the truth, "I... Through him into the demon realm... I was going to kill him, but..."

He looked at the sick Kurumi and sighed, "I didn't... I couldn't..."

Hiei scoffed and nodded toward the door, "C'mon, give him some rest."

Tashi stood up and looked oddly and Hiei, "Did you just call Kurumi a he?" His eyes were wide and showing a hint of danger.

Hiei easily kept a straight face and shrugged, "Must be too worried about Karasu... I don't want him sneaking in here and hurting Kurumi..."

Tashi nodded with smiled and joined Hiei out of the room, "Same here..."

"You're going to feed that to her!?" Yusuke yelled while plugging his nose. Botan violently slapped him in the hand, "How dare you insult my cooking!"

Yusuke stuck out his tongue, then quickly brought it back in.

"Just sticking out my tongue I can taste the grossness of your putrid soup!"

"Haha, take that!" Botan said and started on her way to give Kurama the soup. Yusuke shuddered and yelled to her, "Hey! Even you admit the foul taste!"

As Hiei and Tashi started into the living room, they could smell the stench of leek soup. Hiei plugged his nose as Botan passed.

"You're going to feed her that?" Tashi asked and pointed at the steaming soup. Botan nodded and smiled, "I made it myself! I hope she like it!"

"You'll make her worse!" Tashi complained. Botan narrowed her eyes and retaliated, "What is with you men!? Do you not know what is healthy for you!? Leek soup! Nira! Nira! When you're sick you eat it!!!"

"I'm guessing Yusuke already gave you a hard time..." Tashi blinked twice. Hiei rolled his eyes, "I never said I didn't know that, Botan..." Botan sighed and continued onto Kurama's room.

"At least she's worried about Kurumi..." Tashi said, pitting Kurumi.

I hope you're all enjoying KYS,K, but I am nearing the end of the story... Before I end it, does anyone have any requests(suggestions). Like how Yume suggested the "Movie Date" idea? If you do, just tell me and I'll do it if I can make it work. :) I want to fit in as many funny ideas as I can, plus, this fic started out that way. A challenge, kinda like a request! Thank you reviewers!
