Authoress: Dark Ice Kitsune

Summary: Yusuke leaves Kagome at home for a doctor's appointment only to learn that he has seven months left to life.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha. I only own the plot line.

Leaning over the soft bed spread, he gently laid his lips on his wife's. "I love you" He whispered as he stood back up and headed for the door. The time was 7:15 AM, he had a doctor's appointment at 7:30 AM, she still didn't need to be up for another hour or so.

Walking out of their room into their children's, he gently kissed their little girl of 4, Kalila, and their little boy of 8 months, Jordan. "Behave for your mother today." He whispered, and than proceeded to walk out of the house to the car.

The hospital was fairly busy, giving that it was Thursday. Already knowing where he needed to go since it was his best friend running all the test today. He just walked in to Shuuichi's office.

"Good morning Yusuke, I take it that the early appointment wasn't too much for you." Shuuichi greeted.

Laughing, Yusuke took his seat in front of the desk, "No it's okay, but you could have made it for when we are actually alive at my house."

"What, the children don't wake you up at random hours at night?" Shuuichi asked, getting out Yusuke's file.

"Believe it or not, no." Yusuke just laughed, they never did anything to disturb him or Kagome, actually it was probably because of Kagome that they were such angels.

"I don't like what I'm seeing here Yusuke." Shuuichi stated in a fairly low voice.

"What would that be?"

"There's something on your charts, I'm not liking it." Shuuichi explained, "Your last blood test, why did we do that again?"

Yusuke got a thinking look on his face, "Kagome told me to come in and get some blood drawn, there was a flu bug going around that she said she didn't want me to get with the kids being so young."

"I see. Well I don't think she has to worry about the flu." Shuuichi began, "Yusuke, I don't know how you'll handle this, but you have Aids"

Yusuke looked to have stopped breathing. 'Aids, this isn't possible. Aids is too far along in HIV to get treatments.'

"I don't know how to tell you this, but according to your chart I can only give you about 7 months to live."

That was all it took for his world to stop.

"Kurama! You've been my best friend forever, and now you sit there and tell me that I only have seven months to live! How can you do this to me?"

"Yusuke, please. In the hospital I'm Shuuichi, and I didn't know, I would have said something earlier, but you just now have been switched to be my patient, I didn't know. I'm sorry." Shuuichi tried to calm him down.

"Kur…Shuuichi, I have a wife, two children, how can I go home and tell my 4 year old that her father only has 7 months to live?" Yusuke was on the verge of tears.

"It was that blood treatment you had that month that we fought with Naraku isn't it? Kagome couldn't have given it to you and you are NOT unfaithful to her. Are you going to tell her?"

"Okay, now how am I suppose to do that? Tonight over dinner…. 'By the way sweetheart, Kurama just told me that I only have 7 months to live.'…yeah I'm sure that'll go over well." Yusuke sighed and sit down, "So how about you tell me more about this stuff, you know me, I wasn't awake in school when they did."

"I can try to do my best, but I have another appointment coming in in about 30 minutes."

"Just as much as you can so I know what to do."

"Do you plan on getting any treatment?"

"And be hooked up to machines that scare my children, no."

"Well at the beginning, you'll start to feel weak, which I'm surprised you feel fine now, but you'll feel horrible, you'll lose your sense of yourself, and it'll eat away at you from the inside out."

"What will Kagome go though?" Yusuke was having a hard time keeping his tears back now, "Do you think I should go back to Makai and not let her know any of this?"

"Yusuke, you can't make her suffer like that. Yes it's going to be painful on her that you are dying, but to leave her and not be there, what do you think that'll do to her?"

"I'm scared." Yusuke slammed his fist into his hand, "I'm Yusuke Urameshi, Spirit Detective and I'm about to die from a mortal disease. Isn't there anything Koenma can do?"

Right after that statement they both remembered that they weren't sprit detectives anymore, they had been relieved of duty to live out their lives in the Human Realm.

"I'm so sorry Yusuke, I think you should go home and talk to Kagome." Shuuichi stated, getting up, and showing Yusuke to the door.

The drive home was hard, thoughts were running though his head. How he could survive an attack from Naraku, Toguro, but not Aids.

When he pulled into the drive way, he saw the site that brought a smile to his face, his wife out in the yard, holding Jordan, while their only daughter played on her little jungle gym that he had bought her for her 2th birthday. Getting out of the car, he walked over, kissed Kagome and than walked back inside. Not feeling the need to go to work today, he wanted to spend time with his family, he walked into the living room and sit in his chair to wait for his family to come inside.

"Okay sweeties it's time for a nap." Kagome stated as she brought in the two yawning children, "Kalila, go on up stairs and wash up, I'm going to lay Jordan down." than looking at Yusuke she threw over her shoulder, "I want to hear about the appointment, and how Shuuichi has been doing." walking over to him, she held Jordan down so Yusuke could give him a kiss, "Just let me put these two down first." Bending down, she stole a kiss too.

Kagome walked back down the stairs after 10 minutes, "They were so easy to fall asleep today." Sighing she walked over to Yusuke, he stuck out his arm and pulled her down into her lap.

"We need to talk." Shaking his head, "I didn't mean to be that blunt. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, honey what's going on?" Kagome asked, worried.

"I..I don't have long to live." Yusuke stated plainly.

"This is a joke right?" Kagome pushed herself off of his chest, "You're not going to go back to working for Koenma are you?"

"No nothing like that, Kagome, listen to me, Kurama told me today that, well I have Aids, and I've got 7 months to live."

Six and a half month later:

"Mommy, why doesn't daddy ever come out of your room?" Kalila asked, it took all of Kagome's will not to break down and cry, instead she kneeled down to her daughter's eye level.

"Honey, You know how much your daddy loves you, right?" Watching as Kalila nodded, "Well he is very ill right now, and it's best for him to be alone to heal." It hurt so much to lie to her daughter, but what else was there for her to do?

"He'll get better right?" Kalila asked, with the innocence only a child could have.

"I hope so." Kagome stated, as she kissed her daughter's fore head, "Why don't you go and find Auntie Sango and play with her, okay?"

"Okay mommy." Watching as her little girl ran off, she turned to go into the room, it was dark, windows covered so the sun didn't give him a headache.

"Hey." Yusuke choked out.

"Hey yourself." sitting on the side of the bed, she took his hand in hers, "How you feeling?"

"What kind of question is that to ask me?"

"I'm sorry, you need anything?"

"No, just you." Yusuke answered, holding her hand tighter.

"I love you." Kagome whispered low, trying not to let him know she was crying.

"It's okay, sweetie, I love you too, and remember we'll meet again." Yusuke stated, "But stay with me tonight. Please."

"I will, don't worry about it." Pulling herself up into the bed, she curled up with and they both feel asleep.

The Next Morning

Kagome knew he was dead, he had stopped breathing sometime when they were asleep, but she didn't want to move, she wanted to lay there, with him, pretend that she had just woken up before him, but she knew the truth, she'd have to call everybody, tell the kids, figuring that all the work was the reason she just wanted to lay there, she hugged him, and let 6 months of pain out, and cried.

The End
