The Return of a Legend
:Chapter One:
"An Echo in Time"
by
Kyla

-Danielle's POV-

"Hiei..."

That name always comes back to my mind... It echoes like a bell in my ears, his voice resounding continuously through time.

"I love you..."

Those words repeat over and over in my head, like a gentle thumping ache, pounding against my skull. He said those three words one time, then he disappeared, leaving behind only a memory.

"I miss you..."

Those are the words that always fly from my lips as a single tear drops down my cheek, falling past the small smile that's spread over my mouth.

Nowadays, I can't blink, can't close my eyes, can't breath, without thinking about him. He's all I dream about, all I see when I shut my eyes. With my eyelids pulled down shut, I see him standing there, a scowl plastered on his face. He's glaring at me with those deep, crimson eyes, his spiked black hair with a white starburst in the center blowing gently in the breeze.

My friends and family tell me to just give up; move on and forget about Hiei, they say, but there's no way I can just forget him... It's impossible. That's like asking me not to breath!

Oh, do you not realize who I am yet? It's me, Danielle, the one that Kiten's soul merged with; the one that loves Hiei, who's in a different dimension. It was at my house that the YuYu guys fell out of my TV.

It's been nearly 9 months since I last saw Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei. I miss them all so much... I'm now starting my Senior year in high school at the age of 17, and I've made a new friend, my very best friend, Amanda. She and I met when she first transferred to my school, and we've been really close friends since the first day we met a whole month and a half ago. I still haven't told her that I'm actually a dimensional kitsune or about my adventures with the guys though.

Hiei's image flashes across my mind's eye again, and the sadness returns. Why does my mind always wander back to Hiei no matter what? It still makes me blush, a small smile slipping onto my face, when I think about that last minute before the portal to the Yu Yu Hakusho dimension closed... What Hiei had said made me feel so happy, little flutters still make me feel so much emotion! He said he loved me!

Even though I knew at the time that I might never see him again, I just couldn't make myself forget about him and move on... So, I've remained single... All my friends say I'm crazy... Maybe they're right, but... I couldn't help it...

-Hiei's POV-

"Danielle..."

That name I always remember... It's her name... Her voice stretches out to me through time. I hear her laugh, and if I ever close my eyes, I see her standing there smiling, long brown hair pulled into a ponytail, blue-green eyes staring brightly at me. It's like she's right next to me, but she isn't... She's in a completely other dimension...

"I love you..."

I told her those exact words nearly 9 months ago, when I had to leave. It was so fast, speeding by, and suddenly, she was gone; way too suddenly, it was over, and the portal was closed. I was back in my own dimension, but somehow, it didn't feel right... without her.

"I miss you..."

The memories remain as life goes on. With every tear I cry, my soul hurts worse, my heart further breaking. Why did I have to leave?

I am Hiei, and she is Danielle. I love her deeply, more than I can say in mere words, but not getting to see her cuts me deeper than a dagger every day.

Secluded from the others these days, I only show up in the most dire of situations, when Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara desperately need my help, and hardly a food touches my lips. It's hard to go on living without the one you love there by your side...

Slowly, the memories replay through my mind, over and over again. With every passing day, the hurt grows. Will I ever see her again? I'm slowly loosing hope... with each second, minute, hour, day, week, and month...

Kyla: So, whatchoo' think? Alicia is my proofreader at my school, and she's helped me out on this a lot, but she said it was sad when she read it.
Hiei: I do NOT cry! You made it sound like that's all I ever did!
Kyla: I did not!
Hiei: Did to!
Kyla: Did NOT!
Hiei: Did TO!
Hiei and Kyla: KURAMA!
Kura: -sweatdrops- Uh, well, see you next chapter, I suppose.
Kyla: Yeah! Oh, and if any of you haven't seen Howl's Moving Castle yet, it is DEFINITELY a must see movie! Go watch it!
Kyla and Kura: Bye!
Hiei: Hn.
