Koenma was in his adult form and the usual robes of the spirit would that he wore. His brown hair blew lightly back and forth over his face as he stood perfectly still.

"Hello Kurama," he replied. Then nodding the other direction he said, ".Hiei."

"Hmph," Hiei muttered as he crossed his arms and looked the opposite direction.

"So I take it you know now, about everyone. You two are the only ones left of a historical legacy sadly. Plus." Koenma stated as he looked up to the sky, "You never even got to say goodbye to any of them."

Kurama looked down at his hands again, and sighed quietly, while Hiei switched his glance to the sky full of grey. The sun could not be seen, the clouds created a huge shadow over the entire city, fitting the mood of the day.

"I trust you know they are well taken care of."

"Yes," Kurama replied softly. "I had hoped you would-

"Ah, but why don't you ask them yourselves to make sure."

"How?" Hiei said, looking sharply at the Koenma. This, in fact, startled Koenma for a second. "How can we ask them? They should have left Reikai by now and should be where they belong. Meaning, that we will never see them again, and nor will you."

The Reikai Prince was startled by this short, yet effective outburst.

"Ah." Koenma said, slightly shaken, but recollected himself with an amused expression. "But have you forgotten that I am the demi-god of Reikai? That I, Koenma the Great, Son of Enma-Daioh-sama, ruler of all-

"Yes, yes we get your point.ahou," Hiei grumbled with a roll of the eyes. Kurama smiled and looked back to Koenma to hear his response.

"Ahem, well yes," Koenma said with a small cough, blushing, "I have pulled some strings and stretched some rules in many ways for.both of you." Koenma stated this all very "matter-of-factly".

"In what ways?" Kurama asked. Hiei looked over his own right shoulder, trying hard to hide his obvious interest in what the royal brat was rambling about.

"Well. Since your previous and only 'major' crime of stealing the dark artifacts has been dropped, you have no major offen-

"But no," Kurama said as he cut him off, "How can that be? What about all the crimes I've committed in Makai? My original self has murdered, stolen, and created much chaos and havoc throughout the place. All that cannot be ignored, surely." Kurama said as he stood up from the bench and walked slowly towards Koenma, arms still crossed.

"Hn," the Jaganshi said. Which probably signified that, once again, Kurama had made a brutal point, and Hiei was agreeing.

Koenma scratched his head and replied, "Well.eh heh, that's where I broke many rules and pulled a lot of strings. Since you both have changed so drastically from your original forms and behaviors, and not only fought against your own kind, but also helped save Ningenkai from extinction many times, that I felt that your past should no longer haunt you. You both have good, honest souls." Koenma said wisely, then looked in Hiei's direction and added, "but you may still not realize it. So I have prepared you for that day, when it arrives."

Kurama and Hiei stood in front of Koenma with expressions of utmost surprise on their faces. Not only at the fact that they would actually be able to join their friends when they are deceased, but at the figures that slowly materialized behind him. Koenma noticed their expressions and turned around slightly. "Ah yes, I thought they'd be coming soon. It seems that each of them wanted to make sure I have kept my word." He laughed. "They were very persistent."

At the moment, the figures were slowly became recognizable. The first three to come into focus were Shizuru, Yukina, and Kuwabara, Shizuru smiled and waved a small wave, the proceeded to take out her cigarettes. They allow cigarettes in Reikai? Yukina stood between them and smiled with her hands behind her back.

"Yukina," Hiei mouthed with widened eyes when he recognized her.

Followed by Yukina stood Genkai in her young form. Then Keiko appeared, smiling sweetly with her arm apparently wrapped around the last person, which was of course.Yusuke. He winked at them with his usual grin.

Kurama grinned and spoke, "Minna."

"What's up Kurama?! Hiei?! How the hell are ya?" Yusuke shouted. His voice was an echo, as if he were a couple meters away, but it was Yusuke all the same. They all looked the same as when they first met. (Aside from Genkai.) Hiei's arms uncrossed as he gazed upon his old partners.

But.how?, he thought. This question was answered almost immeadiately by Kuwabara, who had his arm around Yukina. All of them looked and moved as if they were in a dream.

"Koenma let us have a chance to see you. Because, well, you never got a chance to see us before we were worm chow.Heh. And it'll probably be a long time before you finally kick the can," Kuwabara replied.

I see death hasn't changed the moron, Hiei thought. "Hn. It might not be that long for Kurama." He looked over to him with a smirk. Kurama glared at him but then a small smile formed after a second. "And it seems you are still a baka," Hiei said while he closed his eyes and crossed his arms again.

"Heh. Yeah! We've missed Kurama's good advice and Hiei's smartass comments," Yusuke said while laughing.

"Hn."

Yusuke laughed. "Only joking Hiei. Good to see you. How's the picking up lost ningen job going?"

"Peh. Fine."

"Great." He paused. "How's Mukuro?"

"Shut up."

"Right."

They all looked at each other just smiling slightly. They haven't changed, Yusuke thought. Each of them looks a bit more aged though. Kurama's face had thinned a bit, his hair had lost some of its luster. And what was that appearing? Grey?! His movements were a bit slower than when he was seventeen, but that's understandable. He was a very, very old fox. He definitely was in outstanding shape for his human age. Hiei, however, had hardly changed. His eyes only showed a bit of his age. His reactions were still quick and angry, as they always had been. Come to think of it, Yusuke never did know how old Hiei actually was.

Koenma broke the silence with his comment, "Well, we must be heading back now. My ass already hurts from all the spankings I'm about to receive." He said this as he rubbed his backside tenderly with a worried expression on his youthful face. They all grinned and said goodbye to each other, except for Hiei, who wore his usual smirk with his hands in his pockets.

At last, all of them faded. Kurama and Hiei were again alone. Alone with their thoughts about what events just had taken place, mixed with those of the past. Kurama looked to Hiei, who was still staring blankly at the place where the old gang once stood just moments ago.

"Well that was very considerate of Koenma. I guess all our work and effort did make a slight difference."

"Hmph! What if I didn't want to be stuck with you baka for eternity?"

"Well then, I guess you're out of luck," Kurama replied, smiling broadly.

Hiei growled softly. "You never quit."

They both glanced at each other for the last time, and walked away slowly, grinning. After all, there was no need to say goodbye, they would be seeing each other again soon enough.

THE END.but not really, of course.
