Note: Here we go. Chapter 23

Final Fight

Sakura and Hiei ran but they didn't find them. They did, however, find where they were headed to. "They must already be inside," Sakura said, "We have to hurry!" Hiei didn't argue, they both ran inside. Of course there were bad guys blocking their way in, which ment that they had kept coming even after their party went through.

Hiei took out his sword and Sakura took out her daggers. They started to fight with all they had so that they could catch up with the others. Neither one of them got hurt by any of the hench men, but there were a lot of them. It took them quite awhile to get past them all. They eventually did. That's where they found them. Everyone except for Kelly was on the floor. They weren't dead, they were just badly injured. Sakura and Hiei went over to check on all of them.

Sakura then turned her attention to the fight. It was very familiar. Sakura was ready for this. Something was thrown at Kelly and Sakura jumped in and hit it away with one of her daggers.

"So you decided to join us?" the man said, amused.

"Are you alright?" Sakura asked Kelly.

"I'm fine," she answered.

"I want you to go over and check on everyone okay?" Sakura said.

"But," Kelly said.

"Now!" Sakura ordered. Kelly did so.

Then Hiei walked over to Sakura, ready to fight. "I don't want you to fight either," Sakura said.

"To bad," Hiei said.

"But Hiei," Sakura said, "I don't want you to get..."

But Hiei interrupted her, "I'm going to help you wether you like it or not."

Sakura knew she couldn't do anything to stop him, so she simply nodded and turned her attention to what was about to happen.

They started to fight. They both where hit back a couple of times. Sakura, of course, was getting it much harder. She wasn't really using her mind, she was just trying to kill the son of a bitch. Then Hiei was hit hard and he flew into the wall. Which made Sakura turn her attention towards him. Bad move. She soon felt her arms being grabbed. She was held around the stomache and one of his legs were wrapped around both of hers.

"Now I just want to talk," she heard him say in her ear.

"About what you bastard?" Sakura asked as she tried to loosen his grip.

"About you and all your new friends," he said.

"What do you want to know?" Sakura asked.

"Was it worth it?" the man asked.

"Worth what," Sakura asked confused.

"Was it worth making friends when you're just going to watch them die?" he asked with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"You son of a bitch!" Sakura yelled, "I won't let you kill them!"

"I didn't think you would," said the man, "But it looks like I'm coming up on top now dosen't it."

"Let her go!" Kelly yelled as she approached him.

"Kelly no!" Sakura said, "Get back before you get hurt!"

"A little to late for that," the man said as he blasted at her.

Sakura watched Kelly's body fall to the ground, "I'm going to rip your head off!" she yelled. Sakura tried to get out of his grip, but she couldn't.

Then Hiei got up and walked back up to the fight. He held his sword and was ready to fight, but then he saw that the man had Sakura in a lock.

"I wouldn't come any closer," the man said as he put his sword up to Sakura's neck, "Now drop your weapon."

Sakura watched as Hiei did so. She knew what was about to happen. She had to think fast. As The man reached for her dagger, she quickly beat him to both of them. She then stabbed herself all the way. It went right through her and then into the man. They both where shocked with pain. Sakura pulled out the daggers and they both fell to the floor. Sakura then stabbed him right in the heart as they were on the floor just to make sure he was dead.

Hiei ran over to her and picked her up, "Why did you do that?" he asked.

"Don't you remember my dream?" Sakura asked, "It's better then having all of us die in the end, right?"

Hiei shook his head, "No it's not. You didn't have to.."

"But I wanted to," Sakura said, "I couldn't bare seeing you die in real life. I'm happy with my desicion. I would have died anyways."

Hiei didn't say anything he just looked into her eyes.

"Hiei I want to tell you something," Sakura said, "After all of this time we've spent together I think I've found out what's wrong with me."

"What?" Hiei asked.

"I'm in love," Sakura answered, "Thats what."

"You're crazy," Hiei said, ".......there was never anything wrong with you."

Sakura smiled at him. Hiei leaned in and Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck. Then they shared their first real kiss. When they backed away, Sakura said, "I want you to leave me here. It's just something that I decided a long time ago. I decided that I wanted to stay where I died." Hiei didn't answer. He grabbed her wrist and kissed her once more. Then he felt as Sakura's wrist fell.........dead. _______________________________________________________________________
