"I got here as soon as I can." Kurama said to them as he took off his shoes and slipped on a pair of sandals. Hiei did the same and gave Kurama a look about Yuki and then went in. Keiko nodded, but Botan noticed the girl that looked exactly like Yukina.
"Yukina?" Botan asked, confused about what was going on. "Wha-"
"How hot is she?" Kurama asked, interrupting Botan.
"I'm guessing about over 100." Keiko said to him.
Kurama shot Botan a look and then she ran inside to look after Yukina. Yuki stood there quiet, not knowing anything.
"Who are they talking about? and who's Yukina?" Yuki wondered. Kurama leaned in towards Keiko.
"Please keep her in a different room. It's a long story, but please do this. We'll be staying the night for Yukina." Kurama whispered in her ear.
Keiko nodded and then turned her attention to Yuki. She smiled and took Yuki's hand and then started walking in a different room. Yuki didn't stop, but she turned her attention to Kurama who was going inside the room that the Yukina girl was in and the door slid closed. Yuki looked back straight ahead and continued walking with Keiko. Keiko led her to a different room.
"I guess you can stay here tonight. Kurama might be a bit busy." Keiko said as she opened the door. Yuki looked around. "Well, I have to go now. If you need anything just knock on the door next to this one and I'll help you." Keiko said as she closed the door, leaving Yuki alone.
Yuki sat there, looking out the window.
"A Eto and a Roga plant to make a Lei Herb. A remedy that I use a lot for Hiei and Kurama back then, but why is he making now?" Yuki mumbled confused about what was going on.
Kurama took out the thermometer from Yukina's mouth and looked at it.
"A fever of 102. . ." Kurama said to himself slightly.
"That isn't good. She'll die if she doesn't cool down!" Keiko said urgently to Kurama.
Kurama nodded and then turned his attention to Hiei, who looked upset in his eyes and then he started his way to another room.
"Go get some more ice and make sure that she stays below 102 while I make the herb." Kurama said to Keiko and Botan. They nodded and left the room. Kurama got up and followed Hiei to the room that Yuki was in.
Yuki still stayed there, looking out the window. She heard the door open, but didn't look who it was. Kurama sat down and opened his backpack, taking out the different kinds of herbs. Yuki looked to her side and saw Hiei looking out the window. She noticed that his eyes looked more sad, than his usually stare. It was as if something was wrong. It seems as if someone he loved was . . . in pain. Why did he have this look in his eyes?
Yuki noticed Kurama boiling water and then poured a powdered substance inside. The powdered substance was the Eto plant and with the Eto plant in the boiling water, the water had turned light green. He then poured in another powder substance. Yuki's eyes grew wide as she recognized the powder.
"The Roga! How did he obtain that?!" Yuki wondered as she crept closer towards Kurama.
He noticed that she was getting closer, but dismissed her from his thoughts and continued to stir the water. The water soon turned red resembling the color of red wine. Kurama sat there blankly, staring at the little pot of red water. He gave it a strange look.
"Did I do this right? Dammit...I've never made the Lei herb before. . ." Kurama thought to himself. "Maybe it is right. . ." Kurama thought once more as a he took out a cup and poured some of it into the cup.
He got up and started out the room, but then Yuki stopped him by stepping in front of him.
"What are you doing?!" Yuki asked, wondering if Kurama was crazy.
"I'm giving this to someone, who's sick." Kurama answered backed, wondering what Yuki meant. Yuki then quickly took the cup from Kurama's hand and poured it back into the little pot. She then took out a little pouch that she kept with her and poured in a blue substance. The color of the water then turned dark blue.
"Yuki! What are you doing?!" Kurama asked confused at what she was doing. She ignored him and continued on what she was doing. Yuki then started pouring the water into a plant. Hiei's eyes then narrowed. He grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around, causing her to drop the little pot and water spilled all over the carpet. He then back-hand slapped her across the face causing her to fall to the floor.
"Hiei!" Kurama glared at him and then went over to help Yuki up, but Yuki pushed him away. Yuki looked at Hiei while holding her cheek in pain. Her cheek stung like needles and she held back her tears from the pain and anger.
"Why the hell did you pour it away?" Hiei asked, yelling at her.
"Because he added too much of the Roga!! If he gave it to someone, then that person would have died!!" Yuki yelled back at Hiei.
Hiei eyes grew and then looked at Kurama.
"I'm sorry Hiei, but I've never made a Lei Herb before." Kurama said, looking down.
Hiei looked from Yuki to slowly got up to her knees and then crawled towards where Kurama's backpack was. She sat down and then reached into Kurama's bag and taking out a bottle of water. She reached for the little pot and started to boil the water once more. She did the same as Kurama, but she didn't pour as much inside.
After a while she poured in some of her blue substance from her little pouch. She poured some into the cup and placed it on the floor.
"Give this to whoever needs it. The blue powder I poured in was the Neva, so it wouldn't be so bitter when they drink it. It also makes it a bit lighter so they won't have that much poison inside their body. The Neva just helps to get rid of the poison after they get better." Yuki said quietly, looking down as tear fell from her cheek.
Kurama placed a hand on Yuki's shoulder. "Thank you. . ." Kurama whispered to her as he wiped away her tears, kissing her on the cheek and then taking the cup to Yukina's room. Hiei stood there, staring at Yuki while she tended the Lei Herbal tea.
"Oh!" Botan got up and slid opened the door and there stood Kurama. In his hand held the cup of the Lei Herb.
"Here. Give this to Yukina. This should help." Kurama said as he handed to Botan. Botan nodded and then went over to Yukina. Kurama stood at the door looking at Yukina. Botan nodded to Keiko.
"Yukina? Yukina!" Keiko whispered softly to her as Botan handed her to tea. Yukina slowly opened her eyes, looking tiredly at Keiko.
"Yes. . .?" Yukina asked quietly.
"Drink some of this. It should help you with your fever. . ." Keiko said softly. Yukina slowly sat up and looked at the tea.
"Go on. Kurama made it and he said it should help." Botan said to her. Yukina looked at the door and noticed that Kurama was gone. He had left her room. Yukina nodded and then started sipping the tea.
"Sweet. . . but a little bitter." Yukina said softly to herself as she smiled.
"How do you feel Yukina?" Botan asked her, hoping that the tea helped me. Yukina finished the tea and then put the cup back down.
"Much better than before. . ." Yukina said smiling to them.
"I knew we can count on that Fox!" Botan said happily.
