Well, this is the last one. I just have to say that I've had a lot of fun writing this, and I hope you enjoyed reading it. A special thanks to ForgottenKaze, Proxima Shining and LoveAnime 18, who've reviewed this througout. Also to JapanCat and Devil Rebel for their reviews. Thank you all so much!
A brief note: Yukina knows about Hiei being her brother in this.
Aimi.
My little girl.
The next person to call her 'Daddy's little girl' is going to seriously regret it.
It may be true, but it's really bad for my reputation.
She's incredible. An absolute miracle. How she is related to either me or Mukuro is beyond me. It's beyond everyone else as well.
Of course, they all love her. When we took her to Genkai's temple to show her to them, it was a bit overwhelming. The women all cooed and made soppy noises at her, (especially Yukina- she's very excited about being an aunt) and all the men stood around looking awkward, trying to pretend they didn't think she was adorable.
While all the attention was on Aimi, I stood back a bit. I hate being crowded.
"Congratulations, my friend" came a quiet voice from over my shoulder.
"On what, fox? Mukuro did most of the work," I replied, not taking my eyes off my daughter.
"I'm not talking about that. I mean well done for accomplishing what everyone said that it was impossible for you to do. You can love."
"I delight in proving people wrong. And don't be so mushy. It doesn't suit you."
"Whatever you say, Hiei. I think you'll make a great father." And he moved off to congratulate Mukuro.
But he's right. I didn't think I could ever love anyone, apart from maybe Yukina. And as I looked at my wife holding our child in her arms, surrounded by our friends, I feel content.
Life is a strange thing.
When you think you've got it figured, it throws another surprise at you. Like an incredible woman. Or a child you never thought you'd have.
I suppose you can't ever plan your future.
Just live for the present.
Along with those special memories, those lingering moments, that will stay with you forever.
They're more important than you realise.
The End
Thanks for reading. Bye!
