Chapter 25

White Roses

It was nice here today, the sun was so warm, there were no clouds today. She would have liked that, She hadn't liked the rain. I couldn't help thinking that as I looked at her grave, it had been three years scents she had died and as I looked at the description on the gray stone, a part of me still believed it did not give her justice, "Shiori; A friend, A partner, a Sister." I knew people who read this in human world would have thought someone had lost it, but here in demon world, people under stone how close spirit beast and demons could be.

My hand traced over the stone cougar that Kuwabara had given me to try and cheer me up. It really didn't look like her, but it was close enough, and it looked good on her grave. I don't know I came here every years, maybe it was some kind of longing to be close to her. Though I was sure that wasn't it. Maybe it was because I liked to reflect on what had happened so long ago.

Yes a lot had happen, scents that day in demon world, three years ago now, so much had happened, and sometimes I wonder how I lived through it.

The fight had been close, between me and Leon, so close in fact that sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night thinking he's still alive. But I know he's not, in fact, neither should I. we both would have died that day, if it hadn't been for someone I had forgotten about during that fight.

That fight…

We had fought for what seemed like forever, but in the end it came down to one final move with our blades. He had taken one of mine at the very end, and with one swift motion, he we had both skewered each other through the chest.

I had the better shot, right through the heart; Leon die only moments after the blow, he'd only had time to speak a few words to me. "If it had to end this way, I'm glad it was you and not some damn SDF member", I shivered slightly at his words echoed in my head.

His blow had somehow landed in the same spot it had years ago at the cliffs, right in-between my ribs. As ironic as that was, it left a mean scar, like a reminder that never went away. With all my other wounds I hadn't managed to stay awake long, I remember the redhead trying to keep me conches and then everything had gone black.

I woke up in the spirit world's hospital wing a week later.

Kurama filled me in about what had happen and who had saved my life. Stagey I had forgotten about her, and I felt kind of bad about that. Kurama told me, moments before I passed out, Yusuke and the gang came running out with a new addition. Rayne. Bloody and hunt she ran with them, a broken mask in her hands. She given me enough demonic energy to keep me stable long enough to get to spirit world.

What was truly sad though for me was why she had been there in the first place. Rayne had been on Leon's Team. She had been ready to kill the boys, but when she felt Shiori's energy disappear she made a split second change of mind. Apparently Leon had told her, he just wanted to Talk to me and that I and Shiori would not be hurt.

She never told me why she was with Leon in the first place, and I guess it's none of my business, though the scare on her left eye makes me wonder. Things were fine with us now, and we were pretty close, almost like we had been friends our whole life and I knew someday she'd tell me what went on with her back then.

That's what happened three years ago, and time hasn't stopped moving scents then either.

So much has happen and very little of it evolved me, with the three kings, I had gone with Kurama to Demon world to meet up with our old partner Yomi. But I hadn't been able to stay, unlike Yusuke I hadn't been fired from my job working for Koenma. The only thing that really happen to me during that time alone was me stumbling on one of the last two clans of my kind. It just so happened to be my mother's clan. I stayed there a long while and after a meeting with the elders my curse was broken and Draia was set free. At first it seemed as if she was just gone from the world, but before I left the village that year a little girl was born, with red hair and eyes. Last I'd hear, her name was Asa and was proving to be quiet talented at such a young age.

I sighed standing up from my kneeling passion on the ground and brushed off my jeans, this last year, a lot had happen, lots of things that I wouldn't be able to ever forget.

The painful part was coming back and finding out Kurama's choice in his struggle of identities, it hurt but I knew that at some point after his human family was gone he would change that, plus I still loved him no matter the choice.

The Joyful Part was, I got fired. With the disintegration of the Barrier, I was no longer needed. So my title as Shadow Slayer was no longer present, I hoped someday my old title, Black Rose would come back, but that was for later days. I smiled at the grave, for now the only title I had, was Persian Minamino, Wife to rising owner of a landscaping company, and Fantasy Artist, creator of the Demonic Thorn poster collection. Of course no one but myself and a few other knew that they were drawn pictures of people I new, or had once known.

The weird part of this last year was watching the oddest relationship bloom right before my eyes that I don't think anyone would have ever seen coming. Rayne and Hiei. I don't know, where or when, but in some twisted way, they got alone quiet well and now, last time she'd talk to me she'd been telling me how she was rather sure Hiei was going to mark her.

Mark her…. Ug that just made me think the world was going to end.

I sighed pushing myself out of the past and looked out on to the sunset that was coming over demon world. It had been a long day, it was a long trip up to Shiori's gave, but it was always nice to be there once she was, to be close to her friend…

The footsteps I heard come up behind me, did not surprise me, neither did the white rose that appeared in my vision moments later. I Smirked and grabbed it looking to the side to see Kurama watching me. He'd told me once that white roses stood for the need to talk, or something like that. It was like his silent way of say 'what are you thinking?'

I smiled at him putting a hand on his shoulder before turning and putting the rose on Shiori's grave. I stared at it for a moment before I feel hands grabbed my waist and pull me close to his chest. "Are you alright?" He asked.

I was silent for a moment, trying to think of a way to answer him. "No… but I will be soon, because if I didn't the world wouldn't stop turning, and if that happens what would be the point of tomorrow?" I muttered finally, staring at the setting red sun, with the future in my mind, he paused his grip titening before he spoke a smile in his voice.

"What would be the point in deed?"

The end

So that's the end, I hope you guys liked it, and here are some pictures I drew of my OC's and a few of my favorite Fox boy. I don't have one of Shiori . I thought I did but I can't find it if you really want to know then ask me and I might get around to drawing her.
