Author's Note: Youko = fox demon. Like Koorime, I'm not certain of its exact
translation. Either way, I like the word 'youko' more, so it will be used when
describing Kurama's race.
Reaching Your Limits: A YYH alternate universe
Episode 30: Broken Heart. Hiei's Only Teargem
Yukina found her brother in a tree, his favorite one to sit in when they were in
the Humanworld because he was able to overlook the city which lay at the bottom
of the mountain. It reached high into the air, mostly dead but with lots of
thick branches remaining which he could sit on.
She climbed up after him, not caring that she was getting her school uniform
dirty. Once she was only a few branches below, Yukina paused and sat down. Hiei
was holding a familiar black teargem in his hand. It was the only one of its
kind in existance. It pained her to see it, remembering when it had been cried.
She'd known long before Kurama's disappearance that her brother was in love. He
didn't say it in words or show it well with his emotions, but every little
action spoke of it. He would brush Kurama's long silver hair, or play the fox's
games no matter how silly. They would steal together, both of them having a
liking for such things.
Although they never showed many physical things in front of her, she'd seen a
few passionate kisses or heartfilled pecks. Both were careful not to make her
feel excluded, and she hadn't. Instead, she felt gratified to see that her
brother had finally found someone that he could trust with his heart. The two of
them had been perfect for each other, despite their major differences.
The fickle heart of a youko was famous. It was rare to find one of this race who
did not have a string of lovers behind them. However, Kurama had often declared
his love for her brother, and had never played around with someone else while
the two of them were in a relationship. There had been many times which he would
of had the opportunity, as a youko was a much-wanted lover to have. Especially a
beautiful silver one. The silver ones were rare and powerful, and Kurama was
renoun in the Demonworld for his thieving, and sexual, ability.
Then he'd vanished, without a trace. Hiei had remained at their small home in
the thick branches of an upturned tree for three days, crafted by Kurama's gift
in order to keep them hidden and protected well. Finally, Yukina had been force
to head toward one of the market places in order to buy food before they
starved.
When she'd returned home, her brother was in tears. Only one had fallen, but its
significance was enough. He'd given up hope of Kurama ever coming back and his
heart had been broken. She'd held her brother while he fought to recover
himself, hating that he'd allowed even one to fall. The next day, he had the
teargem set into a necklace which he wore around his neck, claiming it to be a
reminder as to why he should never give his heart away. Yukina couldn't help but
feel that he thought of it more as a reminder of the youko he'd loved, but had
simply nodded and hugged her brother once again.
Four days later, he'd been arrested.
Now, sixteen years later, the human who had obviously fallen for her brother was
claiming to have dreams through the eyes of Kurama. She could understand why it
was too much. The wound was still not healed, even after all of this time.
"Do you think it could be possible?" she asked quietly.
Hiei didn't bother to ask what she was talking about, they both knew that they
were thinking the same thing. Instead, he stayed silent and continued to stare
at the black stone in his hand.
"Kurama vanishes, and you find Shuuichi sixteen years after that time. It seems
like too much of a coincidence for it not to be true. Especially when you
consider Shuuichi's youki and plant manipulation," she continued.
They sat in silence for a few long moments before Hiei let the teargem fall back
to its resting place on his chest. "It doesn't matter," he said quietly.
Yukina's eyes went wide. "Of course it matters! It would mean that Kurama didn't
leave you on purpose," she exclaimed. "Something happend sixteen years ago.
Something that, somehow, has turned the demon Kurama into the human Shuuichi."
"It doesn't matter!" Hiei yelled, his eyes squeezing shut.
Shocked by his tone, Yukina could only gape at her twin. After a few long
moments, Hiei forced his eyes open again. "Even if Shuuichi does have dreams of
Kurama, it could still be a coincidence. Even if it isn't, Shuuichi and Kurama
are not the same person. I'm not willing to take such a risk again," he said,
his tone quieter but just as pain-filled as it had been.
"You can't mean that. Hiei, this is your chance to be happy again. You should at
least try to find out what happened," Yukina pressed.
Hiei sighed and shook his head. "Shuuichi is a human, Yukina. No matter what
happened in the past, things would not work out between us now. He doesn't have
feelings for me beyond friendship," he said.
Yukina opened her mouth to tell him how wrong he was with that assumption, but
he continued before she was given the chance. "He has a new life now, with a
mother and friends. He goes to school, lives like a human. Even if he used to be
Kurama, he isn't any longer. And I don't think I could bare to have my heart
broken a second time."
Sighing in disappointment, Yukina looked over at the temple, the top of which
could barely be seen through the trees. "So, then, you aren't going to tell
him?" she questioned.
"No," Hiei replied.
"What if he remembers?" she asked.
"He will realize it just as I have, I'm sure. Things can never be the same as
they were sixteen years ago. Besides, we have to concentrate on destroying Haru
before he can invade the Humanworld. That should be our only concern now."
Yukina sighed and slid to her feet. "I don't agree, but I won't tell him. I
still think that you should give it a chance," she said.
There was no reply, and Yukina silently lowered herself back to the ground. Her
heart was pained for her brother, but she wouldn't go back on her word. Still,
she felt certain that Shuuichi wouldn't make the same decision as her brother if
he knew the truth. Maybe she wouldn't tell him, but she would do her best to
make him remember.
