"Aiko! Wait up!" Hiei yelled. Aiko turned to face Hiei, she had a pale, steely look in her eyes. Almost like her soul was not there anymore. Hiei shuddered. "Aiko, are you okay?" Hiei asked. Just then, Aiko fell into Hiei's arms. She had blacked out. "KURAMA!!!!!" Hiei yelled. "What is it Hiei?" Kurama asked. "Aiko." Hiei whispered. Kurama looked at Aiko, nothing seemed wrong with her, until he looked at her eyes. They were silver and misty. Aiko was beginning to get a little pale. Kurama didn't mind that. He was staring at her eyes. It looked like her soul was gone. Her very being destroyed. "Hiei, I'm so sorry. I don't know what is wrong with her! It looks as though her soul is gone. If that is gone, there is nothing I can do for her." Hiei held Aiko closer to him, "Aiko, Please. Wake up!!!" Hiei whispered. "Hiei....." Aiko whispered. "There here....." Aiko began, but she blacked out again. "Who's here?" Kurama asked. Hiei had suddenly turned pale. His eyes showed a mixture of hate and fear. "Kurama, get everyone inside Genkai's temple...NOW! And don't.....don't let them out of your sight!" Hiei demanded, trying to find the right words. Kurama did not argue because he could see that Hiei was not going to argue. He took Aiko from Hiei and went to find the others. They were all right outside Genkai's. "Everyone, get inside!" Kurama ordered. "Why?" Yusuke asked. "Just get inside." Kurama demanded. Keiko screamed as she saw Aiko. "What has happened to Aiko?" Yusuke asked. "I don't know, but Hiei knows something." Kurama said. "Where....Where........is... Hiei?" Aiko managed to ask. "He is back there, looking for something." Kurama said. "NO! GET HIEI BACK HERE, NOW!" Aiko cried with all her might. "Aiko, what is the matter?" Kurama asked. "They....They......ARE HERE!" Aiko said before she fainted again. Aiko was on the brink of death. Hiei was back in the forest. He was looking for them...The people who hurt Aiko again. "Come out. Show yourself." Hiei demanded. Just then, a fire mage showed up. She had red hair and was wearing green pants with a blue shirt. Her eyes were brown. "Why?" Hiei asked the woman. "She broke the code...again. I'm sorry but I had to." The woman said. Hiei looked dumbfounded, "What code?" He asked. "Her code. She can not return to her world...She is a mixed breed. We don't allow humans on our island. She is part human. When you met her years ago...I was the one who had to kill her. You helped her escape death and she came back to our island. This time I had to attack her soul and mind, not her body. She'll die, but not as quickly." The woman said. "Please, don't kill Aiko." Hiei said with a sad look in his eyes. Then, a man, looking like a king, appeared. "Why shouldn't we kill Aiko?" The king asked. "Because...." Hiei couldn't admit that he loved Aiko, but he had to and it was now or never. "Because....I love her more than life itself." Hiei said. "I can't kill her if someone loves her...Aiko will not die." The king said. "She cannot come back to our island though." The woman said. "Deal. Now please stop attacking her!" Hiei said frantically. "Okay." The woman flicked her finger up to the air. "Aiko will be waking up soon. Goodbye." The king and woman said before vanashing. Hiei sped towards Genkai's temple. "Hiei!" Aiko yelled, hugging him. "Um....Hi!" Hiei said, hugging Aiko back and kissing her. "So....Hiei...what was going on?" Kurama asked. "Nothing...It's over now." Hiei said. "Okay......" Kurama said. "Kurama! I need help!!" Ryo yelled from her room. Kurama smiled and walked to Ryo's room. "Yes....?" Kurama asked. "I can't open this wine bottle!" Ryo said, handing it to Kurama. "Here." Kurama said, opening the bottle, "What's the occasion." Kurama asked with a sly smile. Ryo pushed back her hair to show a shiny diamond earring she was wearing. Kurama went wild. "SHINY, SHINY, SHINY!!!!" Kurama yelled. "Ryo, don't get him started on that again." Tiber said. "Too late." Ryo said. "Kurama, if you want shiny, you have to sit down and have some wine with me." Ryo said. "Fine! Shiny shiny shiny!" Kurama said. Aiko and Hiei were going up to bed. (Yes, they slept in the same bed, but they don't do anything!!!) "Aiko...You can't go to Windarune anymore." Hiei said. "No sneaking in or anything." "Okay." Aiko said. She wanted to go back, but sadly they didn't accept her. "Good!" Hiei said.
