Chapter 11: The End?

Disclaimer: sorry is still don't own…(sigh)

I walked outside, everyone else following closely behind. I made my way to the training grounds, only to find something rather shocking. Ninjara looked just like me! I looked around spotted my mom. She looked terrified. This made me furious. "You call yourself a daughter?!" I yelled. Ninjara simply smiled and motioned for me to start. I smirked and nodded. I unsheathed my sword and threw the sheath behind me.
"No Toria!" I heard Lizzy yell. I laughed softly.
"Sorry Liz…I gotta" I gripped the sword and rushed Ninjara. She blocked me and punched me in the face. I did a back flip and wiped the blood from my lip.
"Toria knock this off before you fucking die!" yelled Yusuke.
I kicked my shoe off and threw it at his head. "Shut up and believe in me already!" I yelled as I dodged Ninjara's attack. I winced in pain as I felt a cut form. I heard everyone fall silent. I turned to say thank you when I felt Ninjara stab me through the stomach. In one last attempt, I raised my sword to behead her…Ninjara's head rolled across the ground as I stumbled back and fell. With effort, I pulled the sword from my stomach. I looked up as a pair of arms held me. "Kurama? Hiei?" I asked as I stared up into their blurring faces. I started to feel chilly. Shivering, I muttered, "It's so cold."
Kurama and Hiei looked at each other. Kurama's eyes welled up and Hiei closed his eyes in pain. "I know Toria. Stay with us" Kurama whispered.
"But I'm tired" I whined. I felt a tear fall on to my face. "Kurama, you never…answered me. Are you…sure you're not gay?" I asked haltingly. I heard Hiei chuckle. I smiled, and then frowned as I felt someone carrying you. "No…I don't…wanna be carried." I protested weakly
"Botan…can you?" I heard Kurama ask.
"I'll try" I heard her say. Suddenly my body was filled with wracking pain. I screamed and it went away.
I smelled Kurama's scent envelope me. "Kurama…Hiei…I'm going to rest for a few minutes. Just a few…please don't leave" I whispered as I felt myself slipping into oblivion. "I love you both so much" I muttered.
And just before I closed my eyes for the last time I heard "we wont leave…and we love you too" from Hiei.
-Everybody Else-
Everybody watched in shocked silence as Toria died. Lizzy and her mom bust into tears. Yusuke watched sadly, shedding a single tear. Kuwabara wept silently. Botan was crying too. Evangeline sat down and hugged her knees. Genkai turned and left for her room. Hiei stood there silently, unable to do anything. Kurama had buried his face in Toria's hair and was crying.
Three days later the funeral was held for her. Everyone except Kurama and Hiei had a white rose. Kurama had a beautiful red rose with white edges. Hiei had a black rose with alternating blue and red edges. As the preacher spoke, it began to rain.
Everyone was lost in his or her memories. Everything seemed so…dull since Toria died. She had made things interesting for them, that much was fact. Now that she was gone…things were very boring. Not even Yusuke getting his hair sat on fire could make anyone laugh. Kurama walked away from the crowd after he laid his rose on the coffin. He spotted Hiei sitting up in a tree, watching the procession. "I'm really going to miss her" Kurama said softly.

Hiei looked down at Kurama, his face a mask. "This is your fault you know" he said after several minutes. "You kissed Mai, not realizing how fragile she truly was. Toria had nothing but love for you, but you couldn't trust her could you? You saw her laying on top of me and refused to hear what really happened." He said haltingly as he tried to find the right words to express the deep anger he was feeling towards the fox.

Kurama looked away. "I know….I screwed up. Hiei, what really happened?" his green eyes pleaded with the fire demon. "What caused all of this?"

Hiei regarded Kurama for the longest time. "She was drawing….attempting to keep her temper under control because you didn't have the guts to tell that human girl off. I stole the picture to try and get her to tell me what she was planning to do to Yusuke. She refused and tried to get the picture back. But her foot got caught on the edge of the couch somehow and she fell, landing on top of me. Then you and that human walked in." he answered.

Kurama looked away as the guilt washed over him. Why? Why did things have to end like this? He caught sight of Toria's grave and started crying silently.

Botan and the others walked over. Botan laid her hand on Kurama's shoulder. "Don't blame yourself over this. It's not your fault" she said softly, attempting to cheer him up.

"Yes it is Botan. I caused this and you know it" he pulled away and sat down under the tree. Using some of Yoko's power he made roses grow over Toria's grave. "I just wish things could have happened differently."

Botan frowned as she saw him bury himself deeper in his grief. Without a word, she kneeled down beside him and hugged him, comforting him…

The end!

A/N: okay so what do you think? Should I create a sequel? I gurantee that if I do it'll be a lot more funny and random than this. Review and let me know what you think.
