Here's chapter 4 guys. I got to sleep 3am because of this chapter, a lot of thinking for it, but it's worth a shot. Yeah!
The unexpected"
Chapter 4: liar, liar go to...
"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."
As he said those words he button his shirt again and was deeply sad, but then again he was happy, because of what he did. He save Botan and that what matter the most.
"Let's go to the temple, before you get worse" Hiei said holding Kurama for support. Eventhough he wasn't acting like he cares about the health of his dear friend, inside of him, was the caring Hiei. He doesn't like Kurama to get an ill like this, nor he will die for it and nor he will leave Botan alone. He just hate himself for leaving Kurama alone and handle everything and the reckless thing to do. And because of that reckless thing, he got himself into this trouble again. I hope he had plan for this and as well as Botan's future. 'baka kitsune'.
Hiei help Kurama back to the temple. Good thing they didn't wake up the others with all the coughing and stuff. As Kurama went to one of the rooms in the temple. He prepare himself for sleep and he ask Hiei if he can get some plants from the Makai. It can help him ease the pain and even help him not to spread the virus to his body parts. He do know that the virus will not spread to the human nor the demon, he perfectly know that the virus cannot affect no one, but only him.
Hiei then obey Kurama to go to Makai to get some plants for his illness. At least he can help his friend eventhough he knows that the plants will help him just for a short time.
He change his clothes into some clothes that is comfortable. He knows that he'll get some long sleep because of sleeping late at night and he has this headache occurring to him. This day was so bad luck to him. He can't believe that this was happening and already happen to him. Last thing he know that he and Botan was so happy then it turn into a nightmare. What more could happen?
'Everything will be fine Shuiichi' Youko suddenly said.
'I don't even know what to do next Youko, and what if I wake up tomorrow morning and something worse will happen and what if we can't change it anymore and it would turn into a living nightmare and then it will be chaos. What are we going to do?' Kurama said as if he was going insane.
'Don't think like that.' Youko said. He was encouraging Kurama that maybe there is still hope. And he can't lose that hope right now. 'Tomorrow Morning will be fine, you'll see. Now, get some sleep.'

Morning
"Botan, wake up!" Yukina said running to Botan's room. "I have great news."
"hu-uh! What happen? What is it?" Botan startled. Sitting up from her position.
Yukina giggled. "I'm sorry I startled you Botan. It's just that Kurama is here and alive."
"Kurama is here?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?! WHERE IS HE?!." Botan said breathing back and forward and she was ready to run when suddenly Yukina stop her.
"Wait Botan" Yukina whispered. She was pulling Botan's hand while Botan was running forward and was getting close to Kurama's room.
"Yukina, please stop stopping me, I mean, I want to see Kurama myself, if he is alright." Botan said, still getting closer to Kurama's room.
"But—"
"Relax onna." This time it was Hiei was talking to her and this time she stopped mid point to Kurama's room. "He's asleep right now and doesn't want to get awaken. So, if you don't want to make Kurama angry, you would stay to your room and keep quite!" Hiei demanded.
Botan started to feel like crying, but she just can't because Hiei was right. Kurama must have a long night last night, but she wanted to know if he was okay or if he was hurt or is something wrong. Why can't she have that permission? She was the girlfriend. Anyway, if Kurama was hurt from last long night then Yukina must have heal her or something.
"What are you still doing here, onna? Go back to your room or go somewhere, where Kurama can have peace in his sleep." Hiei said snapping her out from her long thought's.
"ugh!." She forgot that Hiei was still there. 'can't believe I forgot that they are still here'
"Fine I'm leaving." She turned around stubbornly, but she then take a glance back to Hiei "Oh please Hiei let me just look at him and check if he is alright." At this point she was already in her knees and begging.
"No! now leave!"
Botan turn around and this time she was about to cry. She was pouting her lips and water was falling from her eyes like the Niagara falls. (anime style). Yukina was following her all the way to her room. They were sitting there talking about something that can make Botan happy, but Yukina always failed because she always bring the Kurama subject and Botan always cries about it. She wasn't good at times like this. But as the conversation go, Botan remember the question she wants to ask Yukina.
"Yukina." Botan started. Wiping her tears from her last cry.
"Yes, Botan." 'At last she stops crying'
"Can I ask you something?"
"Of course you can. Feel free to ask me." Yukina said smiling and very happy that Botan was now the one who is asking questions and bringing a subject to talk too. She thought that she'll be the one who will talk all day. 'whew'.
"When you wake up, did you find Kurama was in a bad condition or anything. If so, did you heal him or anything." Botan asked.
"Actually Botan, I woke up because I heard some weird sound. More of a mourn that is really in pain. It was so sad that I had to check it out and find out what is making that noise. As I walk out of my room, I find out that it is probably in one of the rooms. As I got closer to the sound , I found out that it is a man that is really in pain and he was coughing really bad and I also noticed that they are two men. I open the sliding door and I found out that it was just Hiei and Kurama. Kurama was the one who is coughing and I noticed that Hiei was forcing Kurama to drink something, but Kurama doesn't want to because it was probably disgusting and he was putting a herbal plant to Kurama's chest. Then, Hiei let me out like what he did to you when he doesn't want you to enter Kurama's room." Yukina explained as she tried to said everything she remembers from it. "I didn't quite understand what those two are doing, as if Hiei was curing Kurama, but if so, why wouldn't they let me help them. It's just so weird."
"I see, thank you Yukina" Botan said giving her friend a fake smile. 'Something is very wrong here and I don't like it, as if those two are hiding something from us and especially from me'. "Did you recognize anything else Yukina."
"Well, that's about it as far as I can remember." Yukina said truthfully.
Meanwhile
About 10:24am
Kurama's room
"You can't keep this as a secret forever, Kurama," Hiei said from the window
"I know that Hiei, that is why I need you to keep getting me some plants from Makai, so I can hid this disease marks and so, my cough would lessen it cough."
"Hn, I just hope that that thing would work out fine."
"It will, now here are some list of plants you've got to get"
"Whatever.." With that Hiei took the piece of paper that was handed to him and was gone with a blink of an eye. And with that Kurama stand up from his sitting position he got from his bed and get a plain black long sleeve and a pair of pants. With that suit they won't recognize the disease. He fix his hair and tied it up with a pony tail. He drank the last medicine for now and well, lets just hope that it can hold for a day or so. He slid the door and walk out of the room. Pretending that he was alright and feeling well.
He looked for Botan almost everywhere and finally he found her to her room and this time she was with Genkai, Shizuru, Kuwabara, Yukina, Keiko and Yusuke. Well, Genkai was drinking her herbal tea and Kuwabara was getting mooshy all over Yukina which Shizuru was preventing to happen that is why she is between the two while she is smoking. Yusuke was getting bored himself and Keiko was trying to cheer up Botan, but as usual she can't. Botan's head was leaning in the wall beside her and Keiko's hand was in her shoulder. As Kurama step in the room. Botan was the first to notice her.
"Kurama" she whispered. "It is you" she jump over Kurama and they both fell in the floor. She's hand wrap Kurama's neck and her lips was pressing his lips while Kurama's hand was wrapping her hips and his lips was very relax. As their lips parted, "Are you hurt? Is something wrong?" she asked.
Kurama giggled "There is nothing wrong, Botan, I just needed some rest, that is all" he smiled.
"Well do you want something to eat or anything?"
"Well, you can get out of him now, cause I think you're squashing him" Yusuke laughed as well as the others.
The two, both blush and Botan stand up from the position as well as Kurama.
"I am a bit hungry" Kurama touch his stomach as it make some noise.
Botan then giggled "To the kitchen then!" the two then went to the kitchen, leaving the six in one room.
"So what do you want to eat?"
"Something that can eat and was cook by you" Kurama said holding her hips and pulling Botan closer to him. "The best cooked I ever tasted is cooked by you milady" Botan giggled, but her face saddened when she still feel like Kurama was hiding something from her.
