"the unexpected"

Chapter 3: sacrificing for love

"Kurama, you do know that the ferry girl cannot escape her destiny"

"I know that, but I will do anything just to save her" Kurama said.

"ha ha ha ha ha, you do love her, do you?"

"I love her that I'll do anything for her"

"Alright" he paused as he think of something, "You love her that you'll do anything for her..."

"Yes, I'll do anything"

"Anything"

Genkai's place

In one of Genkai's room

10pm

"Now, you'll be safe here" Yusuke said. While Botan was seating and looking upset.

"What is the matter Botan" Yukina said seating beside Botan and putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I have a bad feeling about something. And I think it has to do with Kurama"

"Don't worry about him. Kurama can take care of himself" Yusuke said, eventhough he has that bad feeling too that something's happening or something's bad going to happen and.

"Urameshi's right Botan. He can take care of himself." Kuwabara added.

"You just need some rest Botan" Yukina said. " Here are some clothes, change first okay."

" We'll leave you for know. Just call us if you need us" Kuwabara added again.

"Thanks a lot guys." Botan said and place a fake smile at her face. Kurama please be alright. I can't risk losing you. She change her clothes into pajamas which Yukina prepared for her. She walked at the light switch and she turn it off. She later then went to her futon and lay her fragile body. She can't take her mind out of Kurama being not alright. She then think at the time where Kurama was fighting Karasu at the Dark Tournament. Thinking of that make her sick, she then change the thought of it and remember the time when Kurama kiss her at her lips at the Christmas party held at Genkai's place. Actually, that was three years ago. He hasn't propose his feelings to her yet at that time. And the kiss was actually an accident. But the kiss actually felt good. She smiled as she thought of that memory. As time passes by, she felt this bad feeling again. She slowly sit up from her position. But her head suddenly feel hurt then she fall back to her position in bed again. Her head feel numb and then her eyesight become blurry and she then fall asleep.

Midnight

Hiei was sitting in a tree near the temple when suddenly a portal appear in front of his tree. He saw Kurama coughing blood all around as he fell to the ground.

"Kurama! What happened? What's wrong?"

"I'm fine cough where's Botan cough is she okay cough"

"The onna is fine kitsune. Now, tell me what's wrong with you. What happen there?". He support Kurama by putting Kurama's hand over his back and putting his hand on Kurama's chest.

"It's a complicated story" he paused as he cough with blood again. He then release himself from Hiei's support. He thought that he can stand by himself, but he fell to the ground.

"Kurama! You jerk!", Hiei shouted, but not to loud so he can't wake up the others.

Kurama coughed with blood. This time it was worse and I mean real worse.

"Kitsune, tell me right now what happened to you" Hiei said as he help Kurama to stand. And go to Genkai's temple to explain.

"Wait, we can't go to Genkai's temple right now." Kurama protested. As he wipe a blood in his lips.

"Why not?" Hiei asked

"Because we might wake up the others and I do not like the others to know about this." Kurama explained. "I'll explain to you what happened here".

"Alright then," Hiei surrender the conversation and let Kurama explain.

Flashback

"Kurama, you do know that the ferry girl cannot escape her destiny"

"I know that, but I will do anything just to save her" Kurama said.

"ha ha ha ha ha, you do love her, do you?"

"I love her that I'll do anything for her"

"Alright" he paused as he think of something, "You love her that you'll do anything for her..."

"Yes, I'll do anything"

"Anything"

"Yes, just don't kill her. I do not want to lose her." Kurama pleaded.

"You have been influence by the human feeling Kurama, but I have a great deal with you Kurama. And it's a dangerous one. I don't think you'll agree with it."

"I told you that I'll do anything for her" Kurama said loosing his patience.

"Don't lose your patience now, Kurama" he paused then said, "Now, here's the deal: I won't kill your ferry girl, but there in exchange you'll get an ill that no one can cure and no one else can have but only you. And after one year you'll die because of it."

End of Flashback

"And that was the deal. I'll get an ill that no one can cure and the worse part is that I've only got one year to show my love for Botan," His eyes look at the dark sky as he stare at it blankly. He has this sad look at his eyes. He then sighed and said "But she will be alright and that is the only thing I want for her right now" he coughed with blood again, but he was getting better at the look of the blood he coughed. It was a few blood that he coughed.

"Kurama, we should get you inside the temple," Hiei suggested.

"Hiei, promise me something cough" Kurama said as he look at Hiei's eyes weakly.

"I... but.."

"Just promise" Kurama raise his voice

"I promise, happy"

"Yes..." Kurama unbutton his first two upper button and let Hiei saw the disease in his chest "...promise me that you won't tell this to anybody else, especially Botan."
