A.N: Can you believe it's been over a year since I started this story? This chapters in third person cause I thought, 'I started the story in third person, I'm ending it in third person.' This story's changed so much since I've first came up with the idea, but I'd have to say, I like how it came out in the end. It's been so fun writing it too! I can't believe I've made it this far, the finish line is in sight but were not there yet, so, while the fat lady is warming up her tonsils *is trying to fit in as many bad 'ending' clichés as possible* here is the final chapter of Natures One True Mistake!!!!

Third Person

Many things had happened after the battle ended.

Before anyone could say anything, Kiraa moved to make sure Hizoku was okay, avoiding any questions that were going to be asked. Yusuke and Kuwabara entered the throne room to find the place destroyed, and Toorima nowhere in sight. They didn't have the chance to ask any question seeing as too much had to be done.

Kiraa was able to wake up Hizoku, who despite his injuries, was able to organize the troops that were in good enough condition to turn the semi destroyed throne room into a infirmary. Anyone with any healing abilities were busy healing the injured. Once Toorima and Kumori left, the members of his army who were still alive ran. The resistance suffered some blows too. Fuyu, the ice demon that had been a head in the rebellion, was among the many of the members lost in the battle.

It wasn't until early the next morning that anyone got any rest. Hiei found himself approaching Hizoku, who he knew wasn't asleep yet.

"Hizoku." Hiei said, approaching the demon, although when he first met him, Hiei had taken the man to be quite a bit older, now he seemed younger.

"Huh? Oh, hello, I don't think I ever caught you name." Hizoku was right, with how quickly they had to move, proper introduction had been the last thing on anyone's mind.

"Hiei." Hizoku nodded, as if to tell Hiei he understood.

"I'm guessing you come to me to ask me a few questions, am I right?" Hiei merely stared at the dark haired man, "Okay, shoot."

"I want to know about the Staff."

"Well, I'm sure Toorima told you it's name, he always was one for bragging. Long ago, the worlds were always being destroyed by the battles between opposing powers, darkness and light just being one of many. So, powerful beings that wished for peace created the Staff to stop the fighting, and to help create peace. They weren't scared about the staff falling into the wrong hands because to get the full potential of any pair of opposites, you need either two beings that possessed opposing abilities, or for one who had both. The chance that either of those would happened seemed slim to none at the time. That's probably why Toorima wanted Kiraa because she could unlock both the darkness and the light from the Staff." He told the questioning fire demon, "Any other question about that, you need to ask Kiraa about."

"Hn." Hiei nodded before leaving to find said Hybrid. It wasn't hard to find her seeing as her Reishi stood out quite a bit, for obvious reasons. She ended up being outside the outer walls of the castle. "Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Kiraa jumped slightly at Hiei's words obviously she hadn't been paying attention.

"Not tired." She explained bluntly, "Besides, I used the Staff to amplify my light powers so healing the wounded didn't take that much power." The duo sat in silence for a moment, just looking at the full Mankai moon.

"Toorima's you brother." It was spoken more of as a statement, not a question. Kiraa sighed before replying.

"Half, we shared the same dad."

"Why didn't you tell us." Once again, Hiei didn't ask a question.

"Probably the same reason you won't tell anyone else that Yukina is your sister." Kiraa told him. Hiei was slightly shocked that she'd figured that out, although he didn't show it. They lapsed into another silence but Kiraa broke it this time, "I'm going to find him." She knew she was going to, that she wasn't going to stay with the Spirit Detectives, but it was weird saying it out loud, "I can't let him continue hurting everyone, he's my responsibility." They sat for quite a while in a comfortable silence until Kiraa went to bed, leaving Hiei to remain outside in the bright moonlight.

The next day soon came and went, and then another. As the days went on, it became apparent how badly they had suffered, the number of casualties kept rising by the hour. Everyone was so busy, no one had time to talk about what they were going to do next. Hizoku, and all the other heads of the resistance, including Kiraa, met daily to talk about what should be done next, Toorima had been set back greatly in the last battle but they were sure that they hadn't seen the last of him. He'd come back with a new plan and they'd just have to be ready. By the time everyone was ready to move on, four days had past and people were starting to get anxious, the Spirit Detectives stuck around to make sure everything would be fine until the rebellion left, and to put off the lecture they were no doubt going to get from Koenma when they got back to the Ningenkai.

Finally, it was time to leave Toorima's abandoned hideout and begin their search, around noon the fourth day everyone was packed up and waiting to leave.

"Thanks for helping us Spirit Detectives." Hizoku thanked, behind him, everyone seemed impatient to go, yet the man seemed calm and relaxed about their departure. Beside him, Kiraa merely nodded, not one for emotional goodbyes. She'd started carrying around the Staff with her, it seemed right that it should be hers seeing as she was the only one who could really use it.

"No problem." Yusuke smiled cheerily, "If you find anything about Toorima, don't forget to tell us, we want to help take the guy down."

"Yusuke's right, we will help in any way we can." Kurama agreed, Hizoku nodded and ushered them that he would keep them in the loop.

"We'll find him. Toorima won't be allowed to get away with what he's done, or what he's tried to do." Something in Kiraa's eyes told everyone she was serious, she wasn't going to let her brother get away with it.

"Well, we better get going, we have a lot of ground to cover." The rebel leader explained, "Thanks again, we'll keep you informed." And with that, he signaled the group to depart, quickly leaving Kiraa alone with the Spirit Detectives once again.

"Thanks for everything, even if you did try to kill me. I'll see you around." She nodded to the group, resisting the erg to look at Hiei, before she left to join her comrades. The Spirit Detectives waited for a moment before saying anything.

"Well, guess we better contact Binky Breath huh?" Kuwabara asked, cutting the silence.

"Hn." Hiei paid no attention to his teammates as an argument broke out between Yusuke and Kuwabara or when Kurama stepped in to stop it. He kept his red eyes fixed on the forest where the hybrid had disappeared. He wasn't sure what was going to happen in the battle against Toorima, or when he would encounter the Hybrid next, but he was sure he would find out eventually. He was patient, he could wait.

A.N: OH, MY, GOODNESS!!! I have just officially finished my first story!!! Can you believe it?!? I would like to thank everyone whose read the story and for sticking with me, you've all been so great, and I'm happy to say that I've already started thinking up ideas for the sequel, which, sadly, won't be up for quite some time seeing as my life is going to be hectic until about the end of April, beginning of May. I don't want to start writing chapters at least till then because this is my most hectic time of the year, DARN YOU 4N6/SOFTBALL/LIFE!!!!

I really don't like the ending that much, but I re-wrote it so many times that I knew I really wasn't making it any better, so I just stuck with this one.

Either way, I would love it if you would review on last time, to help me celebrate my final chapter, I promise that this time I will respond to EVERY review, even if I'm feeling really lazy.

Thank you all for being such wonderful people, until then,

Fallen-Fire-Demon.
