Neko Yasha: hey every one! i'm back, with (sadly) the last chapter. :( but i promise
it's gonna be a good one! it's done to the song 'rain' from 'cowboy bebop- ballad of fallen
angels' my personal favorite episode. which reminds me, i don't own that either. if
you have kazaa or mediaplayer, then you should download it! it's sad. or you could
just watch that episode of bebop, but it's not the same. so, any way, i'll be starting a new
fic soon, i'm just not sure what exactly it'll be about, but please be on the look out!
here's chapter 20.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Hiei's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hiei you can't!" i heard him shout. i saw the fresh tears streaming down his face,
but as i watched my daughter squirming in the grasp of that devil, i didn't care.
hm. Devil. that really is the perfect way to describe her. she feels no compassion,
she has no conscience, she manipulates others by pin-pointing their weaknesses and hitting
them where it hurts; showing them merciless torture only to fulfill her greedy ways.
and for that, i hated her. no, despised her. i would like nothing more than to strangle
her with my bare hands, making her scream for mercy just as others did for her; and i could
do it, but you know; it's better than to walk with the devil than stand in his way.
so here i stand among the bloodied virgin snow atop the mountain, watching as she
grinned like a mad man, tightening her grip on my baby's slinder form making her squeel;
daring me to make a false move; and for the first time in my long life, i feel no need
to kill. no taste for blood, because i realize what danger it would put us all in. before
i just didn't care. i would kill until nothing stood living accept for my self and the
select few who were smart enough not to get in my way. but now, i'm afraid. i'm afraid
to take her life. i'm afraid to spill her blood as hers wouldn't be the only blood spilt.
my daughter's life was at risk, and i'd do any thing to keep her safe even if it meant
giving her my own.
I don't feel a thing
and I stopped remembering
The days are just like moments turned to hours
Vaguely i heard Kurama's voice trying to reason with me as i stepped closer and closer to the smirking witch,
but his desperate pleas fell on def ears. i wasn't interested in what Kurama had to say, as i already knew what he wanted from me,
and i; quite frankly; am not willing to give it. Right about now he's probably screaming for me to give up the crazy idea of sacrificing
my self, and we could sit down and work something out, so that every one would win; but that's impossible. the fact of the matter
is, one of us isn't going home. and if i have my way, that some one will be me.
and Hiei always has his way. any one who says other
wise, won't live long enough to question it any farther.
Mother Used to say if you want,
you'll find a way Bet mother never
danced through fire shower
i can't help but feel a little guilty; leaving Kurama to take care of a baby by him self, but i had no other choice.
i let out a deep cleansing breath as i stood in front of Kita, my face blank of any emotion what so ever, despite
the mass of anxiety i was feeling inside. Kita turned to me. "Are you sure you want to do this?" i gave one final
look at Kurama, a look of hope glistning in his emerald eyes, and i began to have second thoughts about the whole
idea, but they left as soon as they came once i saw Kioko reaching out to Kurama, small cries escaping
her tiny mouth as tears streamed down her cheeks, and i knew i had to do this. for Kioko's sake as well as Kurama's.
Walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
I walk in the rain, in the rain
Is it right or is it wrong and is it here that I belong
"Yes. i'm sure." Kurama let out a loud ear piercing wail of agony as Kita smirked and not-too-gently dropped Kioko
in the snow, making her yelp in surprise. i sighed and turned to Kurama yet again. "I'm sorry fox." my voice was
barely over a whisper, which was easily drowned in Kurama's sea of sobs. i tried to block out the sound of Kurama's
inhuman cries of anguish as well as Kioko's tiny sobs and sniffles, obviously upset with her father's unhappiness; and
continued to focus on my fate as i looked Kita straight in her stormy violet eyes. "Just get it over with." she nodded
and lifted her hand to my forehead.
I don't hear a sound
Silent faces in the ground
The quiet screams, but I refuse to listen
instantly, i felt a jolt of electricity run through my small body as the spell began, and shortly after, i began to feel numb.
i soon lost the feeling in my feet, my legs following shortly after, causing me to collapse onto the ground, Kurama
instantly rushing to my side. as my hearing began to fade and my sight go blurry, i heard Kita's evil laughter echoing
about the cavern walls. "The life energy is slowly being drained from your body. you won't last much longer!"
If there is a hell
I'm sure this is how it smells
Wish this were a dream, but no, it isn't
Dying is just how i imagined it would be. every painful memory i had forced into the back of my mind all came back
in one giant rush of flashbacks. i remembered every thing; the day my mother was forced into abandoning me,
the day i finally found my twin sister Yukina, the day i first started working for Koenma and that brat Yusuke,
when Kurama and i first met....
Walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
I walk in the rain, in the rain
Am I right or am I wrong
and is it here that I belong
I didn't want to think about that day. it only made me feel worse about the fact that our time together was finally over.
deep down i knew that this day would come sooner or later, i just didn't want to admit it. all these years i was caught
in one giant web of love, lust and confusion, screaming at my self to turn back before we got too far ahead, and yet i
refused to listen. too intoxicated by the exotic poison of love that only the randy Kitsune Kurama could give me.
i can't deny that i loved him also, and that i enjoyed our time together, but now as i lie on the ground, the life nearly
completely drained from my small body, i wish i would've cherrished the time that we had, and i hate my self for ever
doubting his love. i deserve to die. with that, i close my eyes and let my mind slip into unconsciousness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Kurama's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"no. Hiei. wake up! NO!" as Hiei's lifeless form refuses to move or show any signs of life, i began to thrash about,
throwing random hysteric punches on his chest, making Kioko sob even harder, as well as my self. "No. you can't be
gone! you just can't be!" i screamed at Hiei in denial, but deep down i knew he couldn't hear me. he was really gone.
"Save it. he's not dead. just unconscious. how ever, he doesn't have much time left." i turned towards the familiar voice
of Genkai, standing above me, holding Kioko in her arms. i sniffled. "What?" Genkai gestured towards the unconscious
form of Kita lying in the corner of the cave, beaten to a bloody pulp. "But, i thought you weren't going to interfere.."
Genkai snorted. "You think i'd let tw of my best students get killed while i sat back and watched? it would ruin my
reputation." i smiled and laughed slightly. "Thank you." Genkai simply ignored my thanks and went right to Hiei.
"Hurry, we don't have much time. hand her to me." said Genkai, referring to Kioko. i wasted no time in following her
orders, and blinked in confusion as she placed Kioko's hand on Hiei's fore-head, but quickly understood as her hand
began to glow, and before i knew it, Hiei's skin regained it's healthy glow and his chest began to rise and fall.
i gasped in amazment and as Hiei's eyes slowly blinked open and he turned towards me. "....I'm alive?"
i nodded, tears glistening in my eyes. "how?" he asked in confusion. "Kioko sacrificed some of her life energy to bring
you back. how ever, it took away a great deal of her power, so she should be just like a normal baby now."
Hiei nodded weakly before standing up, with my help of course. slowly, he walked up to Kita, and kicked her sharply
in her side causing her to wake up in shock, then instantly wishing she hadn't woken up as she saw Hiei's angered face.
"What the hell?! why are you still alive?!" she said in alarm. Hiei drew his sword and pressed it to her neck. "That's none
of your concern."
Walk in the rain,
in the rain, in the rain I walk in the rain, in the rain
Why do I feel so alone
For some reason I think of home
"You'll finally get your wish my dear. before this day ends, you'll be with your lover again.
but always remember..." before he could finish his sentence, he made a quick sweep across her neck, just deep
enough so she had atleast a few minutes to live.
"It's better to walk with the devil than stand in his way"

Neko Yasha: well, not much to say. just know this:
