"Shizuru, I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For seeing me like this. So sick and so..." *pukes*

"Kurama, why are you apologizing? You've done nothing wrong."

"B...blaa...but I can't come off like this. I'm a demon, so..."

"Kurama, you're a demon with a human body. You're the one who chose to remain in this form. This is one of the drawbacks."

"I just don't understand this. I was fine this morning."

"Really? You looked kind of flushed to me. When we left from the hotel to the fight stadium, you looked to be in pain."

"I was having a stomach cramp. But I wasn't going to let something that minor get the...blaa...the better of me."

"It wasn't until we all saw Hiei fight, that you were taking a turn for the worse. I could tell you weren't well at all. That's when you made your mad dash outside."

"Yeah and you followed me. Does..."

"I've texted Keiko about what's happening. She's relaying the message to your friends."

"What do you think caused me to get sick?"

"I think there's a bug going around. I called Mom this morning, and she said Saito doesn't feel well. Sakura just got over this. Keiko informed me that a lot of the kids at Saranaski School were absent from school, due to this flu."

"You don't seem affected by it, Shizuru."

"I'm starting to get a headache and my stomach is a little sore. Maybe by the end of the week, you'll be the one holding my hair back."
