It took Hiei months to begin to get over Aaya's death. He spent many days staring at the woods where she was buried, but he never went there, never again did he stand at her grave. He didn't need to. Botan said she never crossed Aaya over. Koenma guessed that in the moments before she died, she transferred her existence into Hiei, which was why his heart was beating where a deamon's normally wouldn't. Hiei didn't care, all he cared about was what he knew. He knew that when he places his hand over his heart, he felt her heartbeat. When he closed his eyes, he saw her standing there. When he listened, he could hear her voice. And when he slept, she was there in his dreams. He had gained many new powers from her, somehow he had managed to start moving on. Without Aaya, time kept moving, and the world kept turning.
