Hiei slowly opened his eyes to see that Asaka was laying down beside him.He cuddled up to her, nuzzling her arm to get underneath it, when he felt a sharp pain in his side. He moaned and tried to roll over, only to find that he was hooked up to five machines and stuck with too many needles to count. Asaka opened her golden eyes a slit to see that Hiei was frantically trying to pull all of the IVs out. Frightenedly, she yelled "No,Hiei! Leave them alone, if you take them out you'll die,sweetie." Hiei stiffened and breathed out heavily, crawling back under the blankets. Asaka pulled him close and he cried out because the pain in his side was making itself apparent again.She rubbed his back and murmured,"There now, it's okay. You're safe here, no one will attach anymore machines or stick you with more IVs. I promise."Hiei yawned,nodded sleepily and drifted away again.

The next morning, Asaka awoke to a horrifying sound.The line on Hiei's heart monitor was not moving.The thin girl frantically pushed the call button twice.Dr. Yamaguuchi's nurse ran in."What the hell is going on in here?""Look at Hiei's monitor ,you dumb fuck, and tell me what the hell is going on in here!"Asaka screamed in a flurry of demonic rage and fear for her lover."That just means that he's sleeping peacefully."the nurse said, taking a long drag on her cigarette.Asaka fairly flew up to the nurse and grabbed her shirt collar."If you don't get the doctor right now, you'll be sleeping peacefully.In Hell!!"Asaka seethed.The nurse ran out of the room and soon, Dr.Yamaguuchi was in the room trying to revive Hiei."Clear, if this doesn't work, we'll have to operate.Clear...Nurse, go get Asaka Yamazaaki. She should say goodbye to her friend. He won't last but a few more minutes at the very most." Asaka was led into the room and the doctor left them alone.

POV Asaka Hiei's eyes opened slowly and he stared at me."Hey, bright eyes. how'd ya sleep?"I asked while brushing away his bangs."Never could keep those out of your eyes, could I? Hiei, the doctor says you will...probably die within the next two hours.I came to be with you until then."He smiled then, not a morbid smile or an evil-ish smirk, but a real true-to-life smile.He whispered hoarsely,"Asaka, I don't want to die with out telling you that I. I love you, Asaka.If I weren't dying I'd ask you to",a small box appeared out of thin air,"marry me."I took the box and opened it, staring at the ring inside. It's band was silver and the stone I reconized as part of the pendant that Yukina had given him.(If Yukina didn't give him that, oh well.My fic, my rules, up yours if it's not right.)"Hiei, you can't give me this, It's yours.Yukina gave this stone to you."I said uneasily, knowing that Hiei would make me take it if he had to."Yes, but she told me to give it to the person that teaches me to love.Plus, it is mine to give,and I give it to you, Asaka." I started crying, buried my face in Hiei's chest and sobbed,"I don't want you to die!I love you, too Hiei.Don't leave me."I heard his breathing falter and slow.His heart was giving out."No, Hiei, don't leave me.If you leave now, I'll be all alone.I know no one else.You were, are and always will be my whole world.My life, Hiei. I'll gladly die in your place." I whispered as Hiei breathed out, slowly leaving me. End POV
