………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kat growled as Hiei and Yukina managed to shove her out of the room by sheer force of will. They'd ganged up on her and made a point that she had no reason to be in there. They were fine for at least a little while. Kat needed exercise, and possibly some sunlight. Kat wasn't happy about it, but she couldn't really argue with the two of them.

"Oh my goddess, she lives!" Midnight said, giving her friend a small grin as she entered the kitchen.

Kat nodded, collapsing in a chair at the table. "Yeah, yeah. It's amazing. Yukina and Hiei are supposed to be sleeping. God knows that arrogant, stick up his ass fire demon won't. He'll be more concerned about Yukina. And Yukina's going to be herself and not rest because Hiei isn't and so on…" Kat let her head drop onto the table with a thump. "Blah."

Midnight grabbed Kat, shaking her shoulders from behind. She grinned, leaning down to smile at her friend over her shoulder. "I know they're going to sit and argue respectfully with each other about sleeping and neither of them will until you go back down there and order them to. But, at least eat with me first. Kurama's doing some research in Renkai and Botan is on watch duty."

"Fine, fine. Don't go pulling your, 'I'm so alone' act on me. It's not going to work. I'm staying because I love you, and I need to get out of my room." Kat nodded, turning around to look at Midnight, smirking at her friend. "What should we eat? I haven't actually eaten any but what you people bring me. Which…. Really aren't creative."

Midnight laughed. "I rarely leave the house anymore, so it's mostly ramen… Or pizza…. Or pizza rolls. Or… hot pockets maybe. I don't know."

Kat frowned. "I'm voting on the pizza rolls. But… are you alright babe? You look pale."

"No, no I'm fine. Just tired." Midnight said, smile. So.. She was actually lying there. Kat didn't need to know how sick she was getting. No one did. Kurama seemed fine, and Botan wasn't getting sick. Midnight could manage to keep working until they got some answers.

Kat shook her head, standing quickly to place her hands on either of Midnight cheeks. "You're not fine. You have a fever. I'm going to tell Kurama."

"No you're not! He's not my keeper anyways."

"We'll see about that when I tell him. You need to be in bed if you're getting sick."

"I'm not—"

"Who's sick?" Kurama asked, stepping through a special portal from the Spirit world. They'd been designed to let a few people through the rift between worlds. Koenma need Kurama and Midnight for investigation. And he needed to get through so he could talk to the gang.

"No one." Midnight said quickly, while Kat said, "Your girlfriend." Midnight glared at the cat demon, tackling her out of her chair. "I'm not sick!"

Kurama frowned as the two wrestled. It took a few seconds, but Kat came out on top. "You're sick. Go to bed. Kurama make her go to bed." Kat demanded.

Kurama nodded, crouching down next to where Kat had her taller friend pinned. "I'm sorry, Midnight. I have to agree with your friend. You've been looking sicker as the days go by."

Midnight glared at him. Then at Kat. Then back at Kurama. "I'm. Not. Sick. I'm fine. I can't get sick right now, y'all. My baby nightmares are sick. I can't be."

Kurama shook his head as Kat rolled her eyes, climbing off her friend. The two of them pulled her to her feet. "They're going to be fine Midnight. We're going to take care of them, and you can do research from bed. You really do need the rest."

Midnight pouted, wavering on her feet. "Fine…. Fine. I'm go… Going." She murmured, tipping over a little bit. Kurama caught her easily, lifting her into his arms.

Kat sighed. "I'm headed back down to Hiei and Yukina. I've seen the sun, and got Midnight into bed. They're had some alone time without being babysat."

"Hiei and Yukina are alone together?" Kurama asked, raising and eyebrow. Hiei usually avoided being alone with the ice apparition at all cost.

Kat nodded. "I think Hiei might actually have a break through. Not likely, but as much as I loath to admit it, they need the time alone together. He has to tell her sometime." Kat muttered, starting to dig through the fridge.

Kurama and Midnight gave her a very blank look. Kurama because he had an idea what Kat was talking about, but couldn't believe Hiei had told her. Midnight because she had no idea what her friend was talking about. "Hiei told you…?"

"Hiei told her what?" Midnight asked, confused.

Kat blinked, glancing at Kurama. "Well, I actually figured it out. He just didn't deny. Threatened my life about it if I told anybody."

"Told what?" This was Midnight's input.

Kurama laughed a bit. "Well I'm surprised he admitted it, even if you figured it out. Please encourage him to tell Yukina."

"Tell her what?" Midnight.

"I'm trying. He's such a stubborn ass." Kat muttered.

Kurama laughed. "That he is."

"Hey, hey! Y'all tell me what's going on?" Midnight again. She was snapping now, because she really was tired of being ignored.

"Hiei is Yukina's long, lost brother but he wont tell her because he's afraid of her not accepting him or something stupid like that." She said, pulling a bag of pizza roles out of the freezer. "If you tell him I told you, I will kill you before he gets to me." She threatened.

Midnight shook her head. "I figured that out a long time ago. You'd have to be somewhat stupid not to figure it out."

"You might not want to tell Kuwabara that… He doesn't know yet." Kurama said, with a small smile.

Kat and Midnight both paused, looking at each other. "I could so say something mean there…" Kat muttered.

"But, I think it's best if you refrain." Midnight finished, while stifling a yawn. She closed her eyes with a sigh. "I don't like this. I can barely keep my eyes open now. Damn…" It was true. Now that Midnight was being carried, and was curled up against someone, she was falling asleep.

Kurama laughed, looking down at her affectionately. "We'll get you into bed. Kat, I recommend getting some decent food, then getting back to Hiei and Yukina before Hiei decides he's uncomfortable enough with the situation that he tries to get out of bed."

The neko demon's eyes widened. "I never even thought of that!" She snapped, pulling her pizza rolls out of the microwave as it started to beep. "You, put her in bed! I'm going to go baby sit." She said, taking the food and going back towards her room. "Hiei if you're not in bed, I will personally chain you to your bed without any hesitation!" Could be head to be screamed down the hall.

Botan stuck her head out of the living room as Kurama walked by. "Who is she chaining to a bed?" She asked. "Is she alright?" She asked, nodding towards Midnight. The girl was dead asleep in Kurama's arms.

"Hiei, and yes she's fine. Just sick." Kurama said.

Botan sighed. "Get her in bed. This just keeps getting worse."

Kurama nodded. "We'll figure this out. Don't worry." He said, giving Botan a tired smile as he continued on towards his room.

IN THE RENKAI

Koenma practically growled as he looked over his files. There was nothing here. Absolutely NOTHING that could tell them what this disease was why it was here, or where it came from! Koenma was just as frustrated as anyone else. The ogres were running around, and the jobs in the spirit world were getting neglected.

Only the fairy girls were really getting their jobs done. And Koenma was missing his best fairy girl because she was out helping with the sickness. Koenma let his head thump against the table. Kurama and Midnight were having no luck either.

Nothing fit together. The sickness was only in the rift between dimensions. Not in spirit world, not in human world, not in demon world, yet it was affecting people form each. But only halves… Half demons, half humans, half angels… Koenma was confused out of his mind. And completely and totally frustrated. Koenma really was worried. He'd gotten Kuwabara out of the rift, but Yuskue and Hiei were sick. As was Keiko, which was completely unexplainable because she was human. Kurama hadn't fallen ill yet, but he was worried about the fox. Yukina was sick with Hiei. She was supposed to be a pure ice apparition, but she had been born from an ice apparition mating with a male fire demon. She was actually a rarity. And she was Hiei's twin, though she didn't know it. Everyone who was sick made sense except for Keiko. They were still working on processing the blood work Kurama had brought them in hopes that it would bring up some sort of results.

Koenma didn't even look up as an ogre entered his office. "Koenma-sama?" Koenma glanced up at the pinkish looking ogre. Then at the file in his hands. The prince of death sat up a little bit straighter. The file had Keiko's name on it. "Um, sir, your father wants to see you about these test results. Now." Koenma didn't have to be told twice. He was up, out of his chair, and headed towards his father's chambers in an instant.
