Dear Kurama,

It's been a long time, do not get angry with me for not writing to you in such a long time. I am sure things have been hostile and I think if I were to write that it would only get worse. Plus we spoke to each other about this. What happens, happens. I want to know how everyone is doing and my name is different now. Its code, just call me Raykle (Ray-kel). Alright and I know its strange but…things have been happening. I met someone. We're engaged. Please don't think of me shallow. It's been years since that day. Two years that's it I get it but. Two years is a long time. I'm engaged now…his name is Richard. He's a demon slayer. It took me a long time to get over what I did since I moved here. In London, it's beautiful here. I am a slayer for Koenma now. I want to meet with you soon please talk to Koenma he'll explain a hidden place for us to meet and talk. I'll explain all I can there. See you soon.

Forever yours,

Ming Lee

Folding the letter back up Kurama rose his head up from the letter standing and throwing it to the fire. That was the drill. She sends and he burns. He was happy for her yet after that day she left. Everyone was angry and crying. Hiei was depressed and since today he's been alone. Still alone, watching over Yukina with a serious face. When he found out I knew and buried her he, he was shamed. We paid no attention to his sadness. He killed Kagome. What else was there to say? The funeral was a solemn moment everyone still today cannot call Hiei a friend.

It's been hard on everyone. Yet he was the only one beside Koenma who knew the truth. It was difficult at first yet it became easier as she lost contact with him. She seemed more distant than she was. Now they were doing the same thing as before they met her. Case after case still, Everything is still the same. That house, the house they thought she died in the truth is Hiei burned it down when he returned. Yukina found out that Hiei was her brother which lead to well Yukina was angry though she hid it. And Hiei was quiet nodding. Yukina moved back to the Ice realm after that. They haven't seen her since.

Kagome on the other hand as he heard from the first letter he'd gotten. She lived in a penthouse near the Eiffel Tower. As he'd heard it had a beautiful view. He wanted to visit her soon but he knew it'd be questionable. That is until Koenma sent him a ticket to Paris, he told his mother that it was for school a trip to learn more of their culture for two weeks. He told everyone. Yusuke freaked out in anger that he'd have to do everything himself, Kuwabara was excited for him and Hiei was silent. Koenma was the only one who knows actually.

That's it.

Kagome laid in bed when suddenly her alarm went off. Stretching her leg up she slammed the alarm clock moaning pulling the blanket up turning around to see Rich. He was still sleeping his arm around her waist. She smiled kissing him on the forehead getting out of bed in shorts and a work out bra top. Stretching a little she walked to the bathroom taking a quick shower, brushing her teeth then coming out with a towel around her. Looking to the bed Rich was already out. Confused she looked around from into the room burst Rich with two plates of pancakes, bacon, eggs and toast. Jumping she smiled, " hey there Mr. Chef. What did you make for me this fine morning?"

With his French accent he responded," Something special for someone special."

He kissed her on the lips turning grabbing his outer shirt he slipped it one turning the cuffs," Listen Koenma wanted me to meet up with him, since you can't meet there. Also he said your friend Kurama was coming for two weeks and you can meet him in Japan since he can teleport you. But you can talk to him about all that. See you in a bit?"

Kagome smiled nodding as he walked over kissing her on the lips again running out. She smiled running over to her closet slipping on some black cargos with a tight waist and baggy pant sleeves. She pulled on a white tank top with black jean jacket slipping her hair up in a ponytail. Walking over she sat there eating silently crossing her legs when the phone rang swallowing her bacon quickly she asked," hello?"

The other line questioned," Raykle?"

Her eyes widened as she whispered," Kurama?"

There was a silence when suddenly he responded," yes it is, I'm glad I got the right number."

" So am I, I've missed you all so much. How is everything."

" You're read my letters…without you here its…normal I guess."

Turning away she sat down chewing on a piece of her pancake," yes I read your letters. I doubt it's too bad. I'm visiting today. Doing a little appearance change. Could you meet me at the local Wacdonalds?"

" You're actually coming here? Really?"

She nodded quickly smiling," yes I am, I want to stay away from as many people as I can, Only you. That is the only one I can talk to alright."

" Alright."

" I'll see you soon, bye."

They hung up. As Kagome stood they're setting the plate in the microwave looking in the mirror. Her hair was different now. Layered a bit pushed to the right with red trim highlights. Her eye color had changed to blue with her new surroundings as she had a black wing tattoo on her back with a thorned rose around her waistband. She had a long dragon tattoo on her right arm and her left were prophecies concerning her all around and down. Then on her chest were the words in Japanese: Pain.

Sighing she looked away to the picture of herself and Richard. A smile crept on to her face as she walked foreword grabbing the photo softly remembering the day they met. She had just gotten to Paris. She'd had a home everything unpacked thanks to the power of magic and then her mission came:

Kagome jumped down the building thrashing down a demon staring at the man who was currently killing another demon. She looked at him as he finished the last one then turned to her in shock," Wow-I mean that was. Wow."

She looked at him taking out a photo," You are Rich?"

" No I mean I have a good amount of money and everything but…oh you weren't talking about my income were you?"

Kagome shook her head with a humorous smile then spoke out," I am Kagome from Japan."

" I am Rich short for Richard. I am the demon slayer around here."

She smiled at his French accent then walked foreword handing him her card yet as she turned walking away. Richard then ran in front of her as they went to the streets," So Kagome is it? Are you free."

She continued to walk away then stopped," I don't think we should get involved with each other Richard. At least I am not ready to."

" Did your last boyfriend hurt you. Oh the horror of love!"

She turned to him," he didn't hurt me he killed me."

He stopped then ran after her," he killed you? Is that a figure of speech?"

Rolling her eyes she again stopped turning to him," he killed me as in he lauched a sword into me and he killed me."

Rich then stopped," Oh…friends then?"

She laughed," You are so persistent and annoying."

" Don't forget devilishly handsome."

Kagome smiled at him then shook her head," Alright fine a cup of coffee."

He nodded leading her to his chair opening the door for her then going on getting in and driving off.

End

That was it. Eventually threw out time he became persistent in helping her and dating her. He helped her get over Hiei and everything they were partners. Dating then for a long time. Every night was date. Every hunt for a demon or something was a date. Soon they were living together and officially together. She cared for him a lot. And him the same. What else was there to do? Things just happened.

With a cheery face she turned looking from the mirror she walked to the balcony leaning out seeing Fredrick the baker from the bakery down the street. She waved to him smiling as he returned the wave yelling up with his strong French accent," I gave Richard the bread I owe you!"

" Thank you so much Fredrick!"

" No problem vixen!"

She smiled that was what he called her 'Vixen'. Sometimes he'd call her the Japanese Vixen but it didn't matter to her she enjoyed his company. He then drove off in his moped. Looking to him go she turned around grabbing her keys walking out the door to her Honda Dream 125 motorcycle. Slipping on she had her messenger bag over her. Grabbing it she slipped it over her chest starting the motorcycle and driving out. As she went off she waved to Emily her weapon's buyer. She smiled brightly to her then continued on stopping in between an alley driving in. Walking to the end she looked at the bricks knocking on three at different times with different tones when a vortex suddenly appeared. Right as she jumped in it disappeared. Looking to the office she smiled," Hey their Richard, Koenma."

They nodded as Richard stood up pulling out the chair for her kissing her on the cheek then sitting down as Koenma nodded," alright back to business. Kagome you're going to Japan today to visit Kurama am I correct?"

She nodded as Richard cut in," I want to go too for the purpose that she is my girlfriend you know."

Kagome kicked him in the shin," What do you think I'd cheat on you!"

Rubbing his shin he whined," But he might try something!"

" Kurama wouldn't do that!"

Koenma cut in," Freeze you married couple, both of you can go but I want both of you to have an appearance change. Both of you! Just in case of future meet ups."

They nodded standing grabbing her silver shaded sunglasses and Richard his black. Suddenly Kagome turned to a girl with brown hair and green eyes with a bit different characteristics. Her cheekbones were a bit higher and her lips a bit bigger yet otherwise all the same. Richard changed to black hair and blue eyes instead of his usual brown eyes and hair. With his hair down and wavy instead of up and spiky, she smiled to herself as she looked to him," You look nice there Richy."

He smiled to her," Looks who's talking."

Koenma then cut in," All right then now that, that's done on to your trip. It's a very quick teleport. Think you can handle it?"

They turned to him as Rich crossed his arms," Come on you think of me as so impatient."

They both spoke with a glare," Because you care."

Smiling he mutter," Right…"

Koenma then jumped on his desk," Kagome you have your compacter and Richard your cell phone?"

They nodded, Koenma following his gesture as she smiled. Next thing they knew they were in Japan's alleyway. Kagome leaned back against the wall smiling," Back home."

Richard leaned next to her," Kagome this isn't, too hard for you is it?"

She shook her head standing taking his hand as they walked foreword to meet Kurama. She looked around cautiously as Richard wrapped an arm around her waist to comfort her. She turned to him yet he remained looking foreword she spoke to herself," Things are different now…"

As she walked into the fast food building she looked around to see Kurama already sitting down staring at the table yet still glancing around. She smiled walked foreword stopping," Excuse me is this seat taken?"

Jumping up he met her eyes yet spoke," I'm sorry it-"

Before he could answer she sat down with Richard crossing her legs as Richard spoke," I'm Leo this here is Raykle…"

Kurama's eyes widened as he smiled," It's a pleasure to meet you both."

They responded in unison," Like wise."

Richard then asked," So who were you waiting for?"

" A friend but it seems she couldn't make it would you two mind making up for her lost company."

" We'd love to. That is if Leo here agrees."

Richard nodded," I'd love too."

" Thank you so much."

They then stood up walking out the door then disappearing quickly to the park where Kagome and Richard stepped out transforming back quickly. Kagome ran to Kurama hugging him," Its so good to see you!"

" Yes it is wonderful! You scared me for a second!"

Richard laughed," I thought we would have scared you in the instant me took the seats. Anyway it's a pleasure to meet you Kurama. I've heard many good things of you."

" Same here."

They shook hands as Kagome smiled," Are you excited to be going to Paris for two weeks with us?"

" Yes I am, I can't wait."

They sat there with content smiles on their faces as they continued on and on speaking until finally the sun was beginning to set. It was surprising to them at the speed time went. Kagome hugged Kurama once more," I'll see you soon then right?"

He nodded," Right, we can talk more then."

Richard nodded," Best wishes."

They nodded as Kurama then turned walking away. Kagome stood there turning back to the sunset happily. Richard wrapping his arms around her tightly," You're happy?"

She nodded," Yes very much so."

" Good."

The rain thrashed against the window mercilessly as a dark shrouded figure sat still in the back corner of the room a face of no emotion other than sorrow and regret. His head tilted back he had his legs bent up with his arms laid over. He blew out a long breath of smoke then hissed it back in his eyebrows scrunching together in almost untold agony. Suddenly a knock filled the room the stillness suddenly coming to life playing out the sound much like speakers. Yet the sound did nothing to him. He remained still sucking on the cigarette in his mouth for dear life the burnt buds falling to he ground like cherry blossoms then singeing for a second. The knocking continued until finally patience wore thin and the door burst open. In the doorway stood Kurama with his long jacket and hat. Suitcases were held in his hand as he looked to the sad figure. Walking foreword he asked," Is this what you spend your day doing? Getting high, smoking it all away. Killing yourself?"

" Why not? Its not like I don't deserve it."

" I have no appeal against your ideas but I am part human and that human feels pity for you. Which means it is asking for the only shred of kindness and friendship left for you to kindly look after you. But I can't still there isn't enough. I'm going away for two weeks. School…"

He turned away uncaring as Kurama dropping two bags for him," Food, you may not eat it but this is what Kagome would have wanted me to do, no matter what."

His eyes widened a bit yet then weakened as they met each other's gaze. Hiei weakly stood up looking at him closely then moving face to face," You don't know that, now get out!"

Kurama narrowed his eyes," Your soul is as black as your heart. I wish that you'll burn in hell."

Hiei muttered back," I expect too."

Kurama turned to leave yet then looked down to see the blood from Kagome's death still on the ground. Everything was still the same. Turning back to Hiei angrily he asked," So this is what you do! You sit and watch her death everyday! Without a care to go repent for something such as this. I would have hoped that you would have spoken to her, or at least killed her with some sense of pride and dignity not what you did. Sit there watching her die the whole time."

Shaking his head he left slamming the door behind him. Standing up Hiei looked down to the blood on the floor then bent down lying next to it. His dream, he'd always had this dream that without her he'd die. He'd rather die with her than die with honor, dignity or pride. Sometimes at this moment he'd blank out and see her. It was this kind of dream he would always have where he could see her and talk to her. Like she's actually there she wasn't mad at him. Everything was the same never different. Then he'd wake up and that smile with dissipate before he even had a second to realize where he was. Then there was the blood and the dagger he used to kill her that he then used to kill a demon an evil demon. He tainted her blood and purity with the blood of a demon that took Yukina from him. After that battle though he was bed ridden for two months. All alone, but then they, came his 'friends' but only to yell and cry and…everything else he'd already done. It wasn't true he told himself," It's not true."

" Brace yourself Hiei…it is."

In that instant his eyes flew open from his sleeping posture gasping out for air he looked around. That figure. His eyes hazed up before he could even really see. Who ever it was they were slamming his head against the floor he felt pain of blood loss. His eyes shutting tightly as he grabbed the figure's arms yet then he passed out and before death, right before the light he could breath again. Why couldn't he fight? Why?

His eyes opened a little to see someone who he knew but then, again he fell unconscious. He whispered to himself before complete sleep took over him," Kurama?"

His eyes glazed he turned walking away shutting the door and leaving, " This was only a taste of the hell to come."
