Yumi: I AM SO SORRY! *bows repeatedly*
Kuwabara: You've been gone forever, Yumi-chan...what's been up?
Yumi: I've been so super busy helping my Honorable Mother and Father with house work! Thanksgiving and Christmas were murder on us! Please forgive my absence! TT^TT
Kurama: I'm sure they forgive you now that you've given them a new...chapter...
Yusuke: YUMI! This chapter is short as HELL!
Yumi: GOMEN~! I know it's so short! That's why I'm posting up Chapter Eight in the next few moments! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Hiei: Shut up and get on with it!
Yumi: Hai! I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or the characters! I only own Uchiha Yumi and this plot!
Kurama: And Nyoko?
Yumi: Nyoko-chan isn't in this chapter, so she doesn't get a disclaimer...
Kurama: Oh! Understood.
~*Chapter Seven*~
The entire area lit up and Yumi was horrified to see Kuronue across the way.
"No…it can't be…Kuronue…! You…!" Yumi was at a loss for words. Kuwabara shook her gently.
"Who is he, Yumi-chan?" He asked softly. Her red eyes held so many emotions at once; fear, joy, anger, confusion.
"That's Kuronue…My best friend before he…" She stopped, "It was my fault…"
"No, Yumi," Kuronue said, "It was never your fault." Yumi lowered her eyes and Kuwabara frowned.
"Why are you afraid of your best friend?" He asked. She frowned deeply.
"You know those scary vampire movies we use to watch?" Kuwabara nodded and Yumi looked back at him.
"Imagine having that share a hut with you every night." She told him. Kuwabara gulped.
"Why didn't you leave?"
"Because, even through everything…he was still my brother…"
"Brother!"
"Not brother-brother…" She told him, making a face.
Yumi returned her attention to Kuronue.
"I know it's not you, Aniki…"
"But it is, Yumi!" Kuronue told her, looking a little hurt by her words. He held out his hand to her and smiled warmly, making her heart jump.
"Come on…let's go, Yumi…" He said gently. Tears pricked her eyes and she ran to him, Kuwabara reaching out to her.
"Aniki!"
"Yumi-chan! Wait!" Yumi hugged Kuronue tight, crying hard into his chest. He pet her hair, trying to calm her sobs.
"It's ok now, Yumi." He cooed. She gasped in pain when his pendulum pierced her abdomen.
"Now, we can be together forever."
"YUMI-CHAN!" Kuwabara yelled. Yumi moved away, holding her wound as blood leaked through her fingers.
"You vile, loathsome creature. How dare you mimic the looks and actions of my Aniki. I will end you!" She hissed, her ruby eyes glowing. Kuronue flinched back a bit and Yumi raised her blood drenched hand, watching as it glowed with a dark red aura. Kuwabara summoned his Spirit Sword but Yumi stopped him.
"No, Kazuma…this is my fight…" She stated.
"But, Yumi-chan!" Kuwabara protested. She smiled at him, ears twitching.
"It's ok! I got this." She reassured.
Kuronue threw his pendulum and she deflected it with her ninjatou. He growled and threw his pendulum again, she swung her blade so the chain of his weapon wrapped around her ninjatou. She stabbed it into the ground and his eyes went wide as she used the chance to punch him hard in the face. He stumbled back and she kicked him in the gut. He coughed and fell backwards, grunting when she stepped on his chest and pinned him down.
"What are you doing Yumi!" He growled. She pulled a scroll from the holster on her back and let it unfold, running her blood down the intricate kanji. She glared murderously down at him, eyes glowing darker.
"Putting Kuronue to rest. For good."
"What!" He gasped and tried to shove her away. But she kept him down, making sure he wasn't able to escape. In a puff of smoke, her blood turned into barbed tendrils and stabbed him in the chest. She stared down at him, frowning as tears filling her eyes.
"Stay where you belong…in my memories…" She muttered. He chuckled softly and closed his eyes, smirking.
"Whatever you say…my little Nekoko…" He mumbled and she gasped, watching in sorrow as he faded away.
Yumi swayed and Kuwabara helped her.
"Are you ok, Yumi-chan?" He asked. She nodded, leaning weakly against him.
"H-Hai…Come on, we need to find the others…" She replied. He nodded as he helped her continue onward.
"So…why did you get all surprised when he called you 'Nekoko'?" He asked. She looked down, her tears falling freely.
"That was my nickname…'Little Nekoko'…I was his little kitty-cat…" She whimpered softly. Kuwabara frowned and held her a bit tighter, deciding to keep quiet after that. Yumi sniffed and wiped her eyes free of tears.
Sleep forever in bliss…Aniki…
