Chapter 4 - No Need To Wait
***The Illumshu Pendant***
It was now Saturday evening. Cherry hadn't talked to any of her friends ever since they got back from the Spirit Detective's task. She had finally gotten over Jane's death, but still felt weighed down. Knock! Knock!
(Who could that be? They actually knocked, so, it's not Botan or Adella.) Cherry got up from lying on the couch and opened the door.
Her eyes widened, "Oh, hi ...Hiei."
"No one's heard from you for awhile, so I thought I'd check up," Hiei started walking back towards the elevator, " Let's go."
Cherry grabbed her coat and closed the door. She didn't know where they were going, but she followed her friend. They walked through the town. It was all lit up for a Saturday night. More people showed up on the streets as the sky grew darker. Hiei and Cherry continued walking and stopped at the top of a grassy cliff. The ocean could be heard crashing against the rocks below, but everything was pitch black. Cherry knew Hiei wouldn't bring her there for nothing, so she kept quiet.
"Look out that way," Hiei pointed towards the ocean in a distance. Neon blue lights brightened the water in that one spot. "Those are illumshus. They're like dolphins, but glow. Over two thousand years ago, illumic demons came to Ningenkai to explore. Since they didn't want mortals to see them, they only traveled at night. The illumshus were brought with them to find their way in the dark. They were trained to always stay with the illumic demons' ship. One night, mortals spotted the ship and attacked. The demons wanted peace, but the mortals showed no pity. Braskai, the leader of the Illumic, used a self destruction blast to rid the pain of his people. The ship sunk and only 3 of the 200 illumic demons made it back to Makai. Ever since then, the illumshus have never left the sunken ship. Every night they lite up, waiting for instructions to show the way." Hiei pulled out a necklace with a ruby pendant from his pocket."This is for you. It's a stone that came from the eye of an illumshu."
As he placed the necklace in Cherry's hand the pendant glowed neon blue. She knew the reason it lit up,"I wait as well ....with as much loyalty as the illumshus." With the necklace grasped in her hand, Cherry hugged Hiei as he wrapped his arms around her. Tears began to run down Cherry's face. She hugged Hiei tighter, but couldn't say anything. She cried so long that she fell asleep in Hiei's comforting embrace.
***An Undecided Heart***
Cherry woke up the next afternoon. She was lying on her bed in her apartment. As she turned onto her side, she noticed the Illumshu necklace on the nightstand and put it on. It had stopped glowing after the sun rose. (I have to see Hiei.). She got up, showered, and dressed. She still had the necklace on.As Cherry was about to leave, thoughts ran through her mind,(What will I say to him? Why do I have to see him?). She opened the door and Adella was standing there about to barge in.
"Ahhhh!" jumped Cherry,"sorry, you scared me." She managed to pull a smile for her best friend.
"That's ok little Iyane!" Adella smirked and wacked Cherry on the head,"where were you going?"
"Ummmmm ....just out." Cherry didn't want to tell Adella about Hiei yet.
"You might as well go 'just out' with the group to Blossom Park," Adella dragged Cherry out the door and they walked to the park.
At Blossom Park, Kuwabara and Yusuke were playing basketball while Yukina and Keiko sat on the bleachers watching. Kurama was talking with Hiei on the stone bridge. Kurama noticed Cherry and Adella then waved.
"Let's go! Kurama's waiting for me!" Adella pushed Cherry to start walking, but she just stood there.
Kurama and Adella met then dissappeared into a cluster of cherry blossom trees. Hiei was sitting on the edge of the stone bridge, again, staring at the fish in the creek. Cherry walked over and sat next to him. She didn't know what to do or say, but at the same time she didn't want Hiei to feel rejected. Cherry slid closer to Hiei and linked her arm with his, then rested her head on his shoulder. Neither one said anything. Cherry's eyes closed and Hiei looked up to the sky with a smile.
Kurama and Adella peeked at their best friends on the bridge from behind a tree.
"Oh, Kurama! This is so sweet!" Adella was suprised,"I never knew there was a 'thing' between Hiei and Cherry! She never told me!" Adella loved the scene of romance and wrapped her arms around Kurama.
"There is a 'thing' between them, but not all yet," Kurama continued to watch Hiei and Cherry then whispered, "Bearer of power which creates loneliness. Born to teach love and serenity. Forced to take lives without regret. Haunted by the past. Waits for eternal love. Though before her it lies ....within the forbidden child."
Later on in the evening, Cherry, Adella, Kurama, and Hiei went back to Summit while the others went for milkshakes.
Adella stopped on the steps of Summit, "Kurama and I are gonna be out here awhile. You two can go ahead home. I'll see ya later, bye!"
Cherry waved goodbye then went to the elevator. Hiei walked with her to her apartment. They went out onto the balcony and stood facing eachother. The sun had just finally set and the Illumshu pendant began to glow neon blue again. It knew Cherry was still waiting. She held the pendant in her hands and looked up at Hiei while shedding a tear,"I'm sorry."
Hiei put his hand on Cherry's cheek and kissed her lips. She didn't know what to do or say again, but she couldn't help being near Hiei. She woke up the next morning with him asleep by her side, but still every night the Illumshu pendant would glow.
***News Discovered***
"Cherry!" Adella barged through the door of Cherry's apartment. It had been almost a week since anyone seen her."Where are you Iyane!" She saw a letter on the kitchen counter and picked it up. Kurama and Hiei just then showed up at the door.
"Is she here?" asked Kurama.
Adella stared at the letter,"No, but she left this letter. It's addressed to you, Hiei." She handed the letter to Hiei and he opened it. Everyone was silent as he read it to himself.
" What does it say?" Adella was anxious to hear what happened to her friend.
Hiei was shocked,"She went back to Makai. She's ....she's pregnant."
Adella's mouth dropped," What? Is that all?" She grabbed the letter and read it for herself,"She can sure say the sweetest stuff. What's the Illumshu pendant she wrote about?"
" Wait! The Illumshu pendant! Maybe if I just see her one more time and show her ...I'll always be with her. I know where she's at!," Hiei ran out the door now knowing what he had to do.
Adella joined Kurama on the couch then wrapped her arms around his neck and sighned,"Oh, Kurama. You're gonna have to tell me the whole story. It's so romantic."
Kurama laughed,"Everything's romantic with you." Adella smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
***Eternal Love***
Cherry stood on the stone balcony of Babu Mountain's temple. It was so high up in the air that clouds could be seen below. It had been three years now since she returned. Cherry didn't know what else to do. She regreted Ms.Yokomoto not knowing any truth, and felt guilty for getting too close with Hiei, then leaving him.The sun was setting again and she knew the Illumshu pendant would glow. Suddenly a familar hand layed on her shoulder.
Cherry turned around,"...Hiei." She couldn't believe Hiei found her. Just then the sun set. Cherry cupped the pendant in her hands, waiting for it to glow again, but it never did. She looked up at Hiei and smiled. Cherry hugged him with tears of joy.
Hiei whispered into her ear,"There's no need to wait anymore ....I love you." He took the necklace off of her and threw it over the balcony where it fell endlessly. Cherry had found her eternal love lying before her the whole time.
..........Cherry and Hiei always for eternity
