The Guardian

Chapter 10

The Last and Final sight of Muna

The final battle awaited Yusuke and his palms were growing sweaty by the passing second. Genki was gone and he was lost and his heart was in rage. He was going to get revenge for her. Yusuke could hear Keikyo cheering for him and believing him and well he just couldn't upset his fans now could he? Hiei was behind him staring intently at everyone. They were missing one last player and Hiei had suggested Muna.

"Fine." Yusuke had said bitterly. But he didn't want anyone to take Genki's place. She wasn't dead, she wasn't dead. He kept chanting this to himself over and over trying to ease the pain and hide the truth.

"You know that hiding the truth of her death won't ease the pain." A female voice told him from behind. Yusuke spun around and slapped her angrily in the face.

"Shut up!!"

"Hurting someone in order to hide the truth will never help you at all. If you want to take your anger out on someone then take it out on the person who killed her! But it won't make you feel better at all, right, Yusuke?" Muna said, her red eyes blazing across from him.

"Even if you do defeat Torgo, you still will have the pain and you can't keep on lying to yourself you know. And you know it just as well as I do." Muna advised him, "But I know someone who could always ease your pain in your heart no matter how much you push her away."

Muna watched as pain and realization spread across Yusuke's face.

"You love her, no point in hiding it. But if you don't start showing it or telling her soon she just might move on without you. Keikyo can ease all of that pain you feel just not all of it because the rest is for you to handle." Muna told him as she retreated and stood next to Hiei.

Hiei

Hiei looked at Muna as she stared straight ahead. Whenever she was in battle she always returned to her cold self who understood other people's emotions better then themselves. Her red eyes would always turn darker then usual when he saw her.

"Hiei?" Muna's voice interrupted from his thoughts.

"What?"

"I want you to promise me something." Muna looked down at him. "I want you to promise me that you won't summon the Dragons of Darkness Flames when you fight today."

"Why? It'll kill them easier."

"Trust me, it wouldn't be good if you do that." Muna told him.

"Alright. And Muna?"

"Yes, Hiei?" She felt herself get pulled down and felt his warm breath against her ear and her cheek.

"I love you." Muna jerked back.

Muna could feel the walls around her heart that she'd been trying to keep hold of crumble and turn into dust. Then she could feel herself be wrapped in warmth as she and Hiei shared in a heated kiss.

The fight was about to begin as Muna pulled away her red lips swollen.

Hiei went first fighting against Ryan (the guy who has the big ax, I'll just use the name Ryan since I forgot his name).

Suddenly Muna's heart was pounding loudly as Hiei was flung to the floor so easily as if he was a toy. Hiei stood up quickly as he braced himself for another blow.

***********

Yusuke

"Come on, Hiei!!" Yusuke shouted in his mind as he clenched and unclenched his fists. He could hear the cries of blood from the demons around him and he could faintly hear the advices that his mentor had told him before she died. As well he could remember her beside him and shouting at him. Yusuke watched as Hiei tried to dodge another attack but failed. Yusuke could also hear his girlfriend placing all of her hope in him.

And Yusuke promised himself that no matter how much it took and even if he were setting his life on it again, he would avenge Genki's death.

Muna

Muna watched in horror as Hiei was hit again and again. He wasn't fast enough and if he doesn't find a way to dodge his opponents attacks quickly he'll die. Muna dug her fists in the stadium stage causing it to crack a bit under her power.

"Come on Hiei!"

Muna felt relief dawn onto her as Hiei managed to dodge a few attacks and land some of his own on his opponent.

"Why won't you just summon the Dragon of the Darkness Falme, Hiei?"

Muna gasped and took a step back.

'Please don't do it.' Muna thought as she took another step back.

"Fine then." Hiei said, she could tell that he didn't like the idea and he took a glance at her, revealing that he was sorry.

Muna shook her head and shouted, "Hiei!"

Black smoke was coming out of his hands as he summoned it slowly.

"Don't do it." Muna breathed out and that's when she turned into black light.

Just as the dragon came out Muna slashed herself right into it.

"Muna!" Hiei screamed.

The dragon came out with Muna's body wrapped in it. She came out at the heart and her red eyes blank as if her body and blood was the energy for the dragon. The dragon growled and came attacking at his opponent.

In a heartbeat in slow motion, the dragon remained. The Dragon of Darkness Flame turned around and growled as it flowed down towards Hiei ready to kill him.

"Hiei!" Yusuke shouted from where he stood.

"No!!" Muna's voice rung out from the dragon as it stopped and screamed when it turned to dust. As it slowly crumbling away Muna's body was left of it. Brunt and cut.

Hiei rushed over to it. But before he could reach it, Kira jumped in front of him.

"She may be dead now but she's back home now." Kira told him as he picked up his friend's body and he jumped away leaving Hiei in his misery.

"I love you, too." Muna's voice came in the wind and brushed past his ears.

"Muna."
