Nakoruru: Welcome back to our double feature day. Chapter 13 was hot
wasn't it? With the appearance of not only Queen Serenity, but also a new
transformation and crystal.
Rinka: Yeah, you certainly have a way with things. So, what is chapter 14 about?
Nakoruru: It's reunion time!
Blazer (sitting on the couch): Finally after ten years, eh.
Rinka: Oh, hiya Blaze. How ya feeling?
Blazer: Better no thanks to a certain mix breed. (glares at Nakoruru)
Nakoruru: Sorry about that Blaze. You know I didn't do it to be mean. All forgiven?
Blazer: Fine, but don't expect me to forget.
Nakoruru: I know, I know. So let's get on to the next chapter. Enjoy everyone. Oh, and the promised Darien bashing that was asked for! And I mean bashing!
~~~~~~~~~~~~ * * * ~~~~~~~~~~~ * * * ~~~~~~~~~~~~
One the way back to the Crystal Palace, Serena explained to everyone what happened during the battle with Hiten. She told him about where he came from and how he got here. Let alone how he had escaped Sailor Pluto's detection. Everyone listened with fascination at the events that had taken place. What shocked everyone, the outer senshi the most, was the fact that Serena had created a new silver crystal.
"That's impossible, I didn't foresee it," exclaimed Pluto.
"But a lot of things escaped your notice, like Hiten and the battle that has just finished," Serena said. "I told you that sometimes the future changes and you can't expect to know what happens until it does. This was one of those things." Serena looked down at the broach she wore.
"So, it's called the Silver Millennia Crystal. And it was formed from both you and Hiei's tears. That is so romantic," chimed Botan as she looked at Hiei. The koorime was not looking at her, and was avoiding looking at Kuwabara who he knew would eventually say something. Hiei kept a tight grip on his sword. "I would never thought that a crystal powerful enough to destroy such an evil could come from the tears of two people. It is definitely romantic."
"I think shortie is getting soft. He's just a big softie underneath it all. Ain't that right, Hiei?" Kuwabara ducked out the way of a sword that nearly chopped off his pompadour. He found Hiei staring at him, with crimson eyes that were telling him if he wanted to keep his head, he would shut up. Kuwabara, not as stupid as he can be, kindly took the warning and shut his mouth. Kurama and Serena covered their smiles, being that they realized that Hiei was a bit shy about this.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were not too happy with this event, being that Neo Queen Serenity was not suppose to be in love with anyone other than King Darien. But they would have to accept this. And except Hiei as whom their queen had chosen to spend her time with. Maybe if they were lucky, the two would fall out of love sooner or later. And Neo Queen Serenity would take King Darien back. (A/N: Not in any of my stories she won't.)
"So everything is back to normal and both our dimensions are safe. So what now?" Kurama said.
"We go back to the palace and see the others. I left their crystals at the palace. I'm sure they were reborn also. I know they were, I can feel them, and you get to see Raye again, Kurama"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * * * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mama! Mama! Otou-chan!" Rini ran up to Hiei and Serena, hugging them both around the legs. "Look!" Rini pointed to four women that were walking towards the group out in the courtyard of the palace. Serena's eyes tear up as she saw the blonde, brunette, bluenette, and raven-haired women. "They came back, mommy!"
"Long time no see, girlfriend," Mina said as she was the first two reach Serena. "You won. We're so proud of you."
"Mina."
"Good going Serena. You did it. You proved that as long as there's a reason to fight, you can do anything," Amy said. Her smile was as bright as ever.
"Amy."
"Hey, don't forget about me," Lita winked.
"Lita. Hi."
Raye walked up to Serena and smiled, not saying a word. Serena knew that there would be time to talk, but her mind was elsewhere. Serena saw how Raye's eyes yearned to go to Kurama. Serena couldn't blame her, she had wanted to be held by Hiei before anything else when he had come back.
"Go to him, Raye. I understand," Serena smiled.
"Serena, thanks." Raye turned from the woman and ran into Kurama's open arms. He held her tight. Raye embraced him, not wanting to ever let go of him. "Kurama. . ."
"I missed you too, Raye," Kurama murmured. "I won't ever leave your side ever again."
"Hey, there's time for that later, you two lovebirds. I want to know what happened while we were away," teased Lita. She was happy that they got to see each other after such a long time. Lita noticed the absence of Yusuke, wondering if something had come up that he couldn't make it here this time. "So how did you guys get here anyway? It's story time, so let's hear it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * * * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So this little thing brought you here? Amazing." Amy turned the Ring of Rune over and examined it. "So you can go back and forth within the dimensions. Fascinating. I would love the chance to study it. Maybe we can make some sort of gate connecting our dimensions."
"Hey, there's time for that later. I think we should get some rest. It's been a long while since I think anyone has been able to," Mina said.
"For once, I think you're right, Mina," Lita said.
"And then maybe tomorrow we can go to the guys' world and have some fun there. That sounds like major fun, right?" Mina exclaimed.
"That doesn't actually sound like a bad idea," Raye said from where she was seated next to Kurama. She turned to look at the male that held her hand. "Do you think it's possible for us to come back with you guys?"
"I don't see why not," Kurama said. "I'm sure that we have enough power to do it. And we do need to report back to Koenma and tell him everything. And I'm sure that Yusuke has been running Keiko up a wall with worry over us."
"Then it's settled! We get vacation time finally!" Lita smiled at Mina's excitement. She was excited herself. She hadn't seen Yusuke in almost five years. He must have changed much. Maybe married Keiko and had a child by now. Lita's heart sank just a bit at the thought, but then strengthened with happiness. If that had happened, she was glad he could be happy. She was sure that she would find happiness too.
Kurama looked over to where Lita was. He could see she had mixed feelings over the situation. After all, she had been in love with Yusuke when they had parted. She must still have some feelings for the Spirit Detective. And now Yusuke was married and he had a daughter that couldn't be easy to handle. But Lita was strong he knew that. She would find some way to cope with it.
"So I guess that we should turn in early," Raye said grabbing Kurama's arm and beginning to haul him away. "Mina, Lita, Amy, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Hotaru, let's get going."
"I'll take care of Rini for you, Serena," Botan said, picking up on Raye's drift. She picked up Rini and took Kuwabara by the arm. "You have nothing to worry about. Rini, Kuwabara, and I are going to have loads of fun. Isn't that right, sweetie."
"Playtime!" yelled Rini. "Play, play, play, play! Let's play!"
"I should be going home to see my dad anyway," Hotaru said. "See you guys later."
"Bye, Serena, Hiei." Sort of pushing the group of senshi out the door, Raye waved good night to her friend. Serena laughed until the group was gone. Then she turned to Hiei, who was looking at her. She could see his eyes flickering with that emotion he had days ago. Serena wrapped her arms around Hiei's neck, kissing him passionately. There was nothing to stop the two from having time together now. Their enemy was no more and the world had peace.
Hiei swept Serena up into his arms, turning around; Hiei was about to walk up the stairs when he heard a slight commotion. Turning back around with Serena still in his arms, he found a tall dark haired male with blue eyes storming into the hall with three individuals following behind him.
Hiei placed Serena down and crossed his arms. Narrowing his eyes to a look of murder. It was that bastard that had dumped Serena, Hiei wondered when everyone had been reborn, why couldn't he have just stayed dead. Following behind him were Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru behind him. "What do you want?"
Darien glared down at the male that he came to know as his enemy. "Where's my daughter!"
"Your daughter? What daughter?" Hiei asked in a low tone. "Are you talking about the daughter you abandoned? If so, then you might as well turn back around and get your ass from out of my sight."
Darien clenched his hands into balls, staring at the shorter male. He was not about to let this guy have what was his. He owned both Rini and Serena. There was no way he would give them up to an arrogant snot like this. "She's my daughter, if you don't tell me where-"
"Do you even know her name? Do you know how wonderful that child is? Do you know anything about her?" Hiei questioned. "I know more about her than you do. And I've only been here a few days."
"I died while she was a baby, you ass," Darien snapped.
"That still doesn't give any excuse for her not knowing what you look like. She would have retained the memory of your face if you had made the effort to be around, rather than leaving Serena and Rini on their own," Hiei said coldly.
"You little-"
"Otou-chan! Otou-chan!" Rini came running in the room with Botan and Kuwabara close behind her.
"Rini, where are you going?" Botan said. She stopped, seeing the group of people standing around. The outer senshi, Hiei, Serena, and an angry looking male with black hair. He was very handsome, but something about him didn't feel right. The male looked at Rini, and scowled as she clung to Hiei's leg. Was this man Rini's real father? Had he come back to see his daughter?
"Otou-chan, guess what?" Rini let go of Hiei's leg to bounce up and down excitedly. Hiei knelt down to look at the little girl whose eyes sparkled with tiny lights.
"What, Rini?" Hiei answered, aware that Darien did not like the fact that Rini was referring to him as her father. But of course, Hiei didn't give a damn what the male thought or felt. He didn't deserve the love of either Serena or this little girl. Hiei would not let that man have them.
"I'm going to grow up and be strong like you and mommy! Isn't that good?" Rini piped. Hiei felt a smile curl his lips as he stroked the girl's head gently.
"That's good. Be as strong as you can."
"Yeah! I go play now!" Rini was about to turn to and go back with Botan and Kuwabara, but then she noticed Darien. Turning to look at him, she backed away. She hid behind Hiei's leg. "Who man, otou-chan?"
"No one, Rini. Go back with Botan and Kuwabara."
"Okay." Rini made her way back to Botan, avoiding looking at Darien. Once the trio was gone, Darien exploded.
"Why does my daughter think you're her father? What have you been telling her?" Darien snapped.
"I didn't say anything. She assumed I was her father. And I see that even if you told her now, she would not want you to be her father. That's what happens when you're scum," Hiei replied coldly. He watched Darien cock his fist back, preparing to hit him. But as always, Hiei was much quicker. Hiei struck Darien with such force that the male was sprawled on his back. Darien sat up to glare at Hiei, then Serena.
"You bitch! You turned my own daughter against me! You're nothing but a skank. I'm sure she isn't my daughter either, right? She looks nothing like me. Go ahead and admit that-" Before another nasty word could slip off Darien's tongue, Hiei was on top of him, pounding his fists into Darien's face. Everybody watched in horror as Darien was having the shit beat out of him, and could do nothing about it.
Once Hiei was done, he got off Darien and brushed his clothing off. He then looked at the three outer senshi he was sure had willingly let the bastard in. "Get him out of here. I don't want to see his face ever again." And with that, he led Serena to her room. Once the two were in Serena's room, Hiei looked as if he was about to kill. Serena wrapped her arms around Hiei, trying to comfort him.
"Nothing he said got to me, Hiei. Don't worry about him. He isn't worth it. I love you and you alone, and he won't change my mind or make me hesitate," Serena said.
"I still want to rip out his spinal cord," Hiei muttered. He heard Serena laugh, and he turned his head slightly to stare at her. "What's so funny?" Serena shook her head, covering her smile as she let him go to go sit on the bed.
"I was just happy. It reminded me of that other time. When I first realized I was in love with you. It made me happy to remember. Nothing much has changed between us. I'm glad," Serena said. She watched Hiei walk up to the bed and cup her face in his hand. He bent down, kissing her. Serena drew the koorime to her, finding that he came willingly. Nothing could ruin things now. No matter what happened they would be there for each other. She was positive of that.
Soon clothing was removed and the two held each other. Serena sighed, loving how his kissed seared her flesh as they blazed a path over her body. She arched her back, surrendering herself to him. Looking up, she saw the passion and love in his eyes. Serena wrapped her arms around his neck, drawing him to her. Soon they had consummated the act of their love, and fulfilled each other's hearts. Afterwards, the two lay in each other's arms, thinking about everything.
"Hiei," Serena said, finally breaking the silence. She looked up into Hiei's eyes, seeing him looking down at her.
"Hm."
"Do you think that everything will work out for us? That we can be happy forever?" Serena saw a smile tug at his lips as he kissed her once more.
"We will make it work. No matter what, we will make it work," Hiei said with a murmur as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Raye lays half-asleep on top of Kurama who continued to hold her long after they had finished their fun. (If you know what I mean.) She listened to his heart beat strongly in his chest. God how she had missed him so much over the time. Nothing could stop her from loving him. The young woman smiled, feeling his eyes watching her quietly. Raye looked up to meet his eyes. Those beautiful jade eyes that were for no one else but her. "Something on your mind?"
"No, I was just thinking how happy I am to have you with me again," Raye said. "I'm thankful that everything has worked out. I thought I would never see you again. I didn't give up hope, but I was scared. I thought that if I never got to see you again, I would. . ." Raye was silenced with a slender finger to her lips. Kurama smiled softly at her.
"You had nothing to worry about. Some how, some way, I would have found my way back to you. Even if what happened, hadn't, I would have found the way back," Kurama said. "My love for you is much stronger than anything else in this entire world. Nothing would have kept me away from you. Even if we were separate for a million times, I would still find my way back to you each time. Remember that."
Raye digested what Kurama had just said. She didn't doubt his word. After all, he had made it back to her as he promised. Finally, Raye nodded. "Thank you, Kurama. But I have to ask you something. I want to know about Yusuke. He didn't come with you because Koenma wanted him to stay and protect your dimension, but is there another reason he didn't come with you guys. Was it Keiko?"
"No, it wasn't. Yusuke had to make the choice to stay. He knew if he came back, he would betray Keiko. And he didn't want that. He has a daughter now. She's almost the same age as Rini. Her name is Emi. She's a sweet child. She's very fond of her father and Hiei. Yusuke didn't want to do anything to cause her sadness either. So he decided to stay there,' Kurama said.
Raye nodded, understanding that Yusuke was a loyal person to the people he cared about. She was sure that Lita understood that and accepted that. But it also saddened Raye to know that Lita was still in love with him and they couldn't be together. She hoped that their trip to Kurama's dimension would not be a sad one. Maybe Lita would find someone else there to like.

Rinka: The end?
Nakoruru (hits Rinka with toy mallet): No! Stop it! Are you just trying to end this story before its time?
Rinka: Gomen nasai! (running away)
Blazer: Okay that was strange. Well. . .I guess we'll get going people. Review and tell us what you think. Hopefully we can get to the reviews some time soon. But keep reviewing.

"We will make it work. No matter what, we will make it work," Hiei said with a murmur as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Raye lays half-asleep on top of Kurama who continued to hold her long after they had finished their fun. (If you know what I mean.) She listened to his heart beat strongly in his chest. God how she had missed him so much over the time. Nothing could stop her from loving him. The young woman smiled, feeling his eyes watching her quietly. Raye looked up to meet his eyes. Those beautiful jade eyes that were for no one else but her. "Something on your mind?"
"No, I was just thinking how happy I am to have you with me again," Raye said. "I'm thankful that everything has worked out. I thought I would never see you again. I didn't give up hope, but I was scared. I thought that if I never got to see you again, I would. . ." Raye was silenced with a slender finger to her lips. Kurama smiled softly at her.
"You had nothing to worry about. Some how, some way, I would have found my way back to you. Even if what happened, hadn't, I would have found the way back," Kurama said. "My love for you is much stronger than anything else in this entire world. Nothing would have kept me away from you. Even if we were separate for a million times, I would still find my way back to you each time. Remember that."
Raye digested what Kurama had just said. She didn't doubt his word. After all, he had made it back to her as he promised. Finally, Raye nodded. "Thank you, Kurama. But I have to ask you something. I want to know about Yusuke. He didn't come with you because Koenma wanted him to stay and protect your dimension, but is there another reason he didn't come with you guys. Was it Keiko?"
"No, it wasn't. Yusuke had to make the choice to stay. He knew if he came back, he would betray Keiko. And he didn't want that. He has a daughter now. She's almost the same age as Rini. Her name is Emi. She's a sweet child. She's very fond of her father and Hiei. Yusuke didn't want to do anything to cause her sadness either. So he decided to stay there,' Kurama said.
Raye nodded, understanding that Yusuke was a loyal person to the people he cared about. She was sure that Lita understood that and accepted that. But it also saddened Raye to know that Lita was still in love with him and they couldn't be together. She hoped that their trip to Kurama's dimension would not be a sad one. Maybe Lita would find someone else there to like.

Rinka: The end?
Nakoruru (hits Rinka with toy mallet): No! Stop it! Are you just trying to end this story before its time?
Rinka: Gomen nasai! (running away)
Blazer: Okay that was strange. Well. . .I guess we'll get going people. Review and tell us what you think. Hopefully we can get to the reviews some time soon. But keep reviewing. The next story should be up exactly three days from now. We're trying to get back on track. Remember, three days from now.
Nakoruru: Bye bye. See ya later! And don't forget, three days. R & R, and please continue to love this story. Oh, and one more thing. I made a mistake earlier and said that Rini was three, she's actually two in this story, going on three. Sorry for the mistake, I just wanted to correct it for my readers. Now we go bye.
