The,well,....everyone......((Author POV))
Lizzie was still staring out of the window.'So....The boy was....Wait!I remember!He looked like him!He gave me a hint!!Raine!The Ice Phoenix!'Just then,something icy blue passed the window with little glittery things following it.Ice crystals following an Ice Phoenix!
"You don't look alright...."Kurama put his hand on Lizzie's head to check her temperature.'She doesn't feel warm.But if she's half Ice Apparition,then she wouldn't feel very warm,but would be for her kind.'Hiei had finished replacing Lizzie's bandages and now had both his hands on Lizzie's shoulders holding her steady.
"Don't lie,Lizzie.If you're not alright,then you should tell him.I'm sure he can help."Hiei was looking at Lizzie with the kind of love only a brother would have.
"I'm just thinkin'.....'Bout the boy.....He called that bird 'Raine'.....In Brother's poem for me,there's a boy and he calls down an Ice Phoenix,like the one the boy had.In the poem,the Ice Phoenix's name is Raine...."She didn't really mean to say all that aloud.
"You're brother?Was he the boy down in the lobby?"Botan was directing this towards Hiei.Her eyes were sparkling with tears.
Hiei nodded so that Lizzie couldn't see.Then he sent a message through telepathy that said:"Don't tell her....She isn't suppose to know...."
"Lizzie....?Are you sure you're alright?"Kurama felt her head again to make sure she wasn't warm."Are you half Ice Apparition?"
"Hm?"She broke her gaze from the window and looked at Kurama ."Ice Apparition?I don't think so....All I know is that part of me is Wolf Youkai....I may just be fourth Wolf Youkai and fourth Ice Apparition....I don't know....."A chill was sent down her spine and she got chill bumps.She started rubbing her arms to get rid of them.
Hiei pulled her a little closer to him."Lizzie....." 'I wish I could tell you how much I care....I want to tell you that I love you....I wish,I wish......' He touched her face like she were a fragile porcelin doll.'Her skin is so soft and smooth....'
"Hm?Yeah?"Lizzie looked at him,worriedly."What?"She felt his rough hand against her smooth cheek.
Hiei looked at her.Lizzie was crying."Nevermind.....It's....not important...."He wiped away her tears with the sleeve of his cloak."Don't cry.There's no need."He smiled at her.She returned it.
"I think I might be part Ice Apparition....I remember that when I was younger and I was crying,Brother always cried with me.But his tears weren't normal.They turned to tear gems.Golden tear gems."She reached into her pocket and pulled out a necklace with a gold sphere as the pendent of it.It was a golden tear gem."This is one of Brother's tear gems.But,when I cry,my tears are usually normal,unless I'm in love and my heart is aching.Then my tears are either deep blue tears or dark red blood tears....."
Kurama,Hiei,Yukina,and Botan looked stunned.Hiei was the first to speak."That means you are part Ice Apparition....But only a quarter Ice Apparition....At least,that's the blood tears....The deep blue tears...they mean you're part Wolf Youkai....So....Maybe you're-"He got cut short by Lizzie.
"No.I'm not three fourths.My mother,she was the Youkai.She was half Wolf Youkai and half Ice Apparition.I remember now.My brains kinda rattled."Lizzie gently touched her head where the main part of the injury was and flinched.
Hiei reached to her hand and held it in his."Don't touch it....You'll hurt yourself...."He massaged her left hand with his right,but continued to keep her steady with his left.
Lizzie nodded,but painfully.'Damn,I hate being like this.It hurts to just move!DAMN DAMN DAMN!!This sucks!Verde rojo!!Damn I really am weird.....'She started to cry again,but she refused to let her tears flow,so her vision got blocked by them.There was something wrong with her sight,though.Sure her vision was obscured,but it was read and blue,like she was wearing 3-D glasses and looking at a blank peice of white paper.
"Lizzie...."Hiei looked worried."Are you alright?"
"Yeah...."She barely could breath,let alone speak."Fine....."
"You're crying....Blue tears and blood tears....."Hiei wiped her eyes on the sleeve of his cloak again."You're in love and pain...."He wiped his own eyes on the back of his hand,but his tears were normal.((well,they were clear tears.no tears are normal for Hiei))"Who-?"He changed his mind and left to the lobby,letting the others talk.
"He's correct.Your right eye looks like it's bleeding.While your left eye looks like you spilled blue paint under it."Yukina was standing in front of Botan and looked utterly shocked while saying this.Botan was trying not to laugh.
"Hey,cool.I thought tears could only be like salt water...."((when tears run into your mouth,they taste salty))Kuwabara was just being his normal self." 'Cept of course Yukina's...."
Kurama dried Lizzie's tears with a peice of cloth."Please,don't cry,Lizzie.You're putting stress on your wounds."He put his hands on Lizzie's shoulders and gently forced her into laying flat again."You should just sleep.Rest is good for you right now."He smiled gently.Lizzie wouldn't listen,of course.She kept crying.
"I-can't-stop-crying....."Lizzie buried her face in Hiei's scarf."I-just-can't!!"The scarf was being stained blue and red from her tears.
"Is there anything we can do to help?Anything we can get?"Kurama was worried.
"I-want-....him....."Lizzie was worrying that she was going to never see him again."I-want-him!!"She had to scream to be heard.
*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~***~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~
Hiei.....((Hiei's POV(duh!!) ))
I was standing in the lobby of the hospital.I couldn't be near her.I was causing her pain.Why must I love her?!She loves that boy in her locket!Even if he's gone she will forever love him!!I can't interfere!!But I love her....I don't know what to do.Someone send me a sign!
"Hey!You're that boy she was with!"Someone was calling someone else,I just ignored it until I realized that the person was talking to me.I turned around to see who it was.It was the boy from earlier.
"Yes,I am."I held out my hand in greeting.Ever since I met Lizzie,I've been acting different.He took my hand.
"She alright?She waken up yet?"He let go of my hand.He was still wearing sunglasses,but I could tell he was forcing himself not to cry.I nodded and put my hand on his shoulder.
"Cry.If you want to,go ahead."He looked at me,quivering."It's good to let your emotions out by shedding tears every now and then."I smiled at him gently,at least,I tried.I gripped his shoulder tightly.
"No,it's well....My tears....Or,more correctly,gems."His eyebrows raised,trying to ask me if I understood.I nodded."Did you tell her?"His voice raised and quavered.I couldn't tell him I broke his promise,betrayed his trust!I just kept silent."Well?"
An idea suddenly struck me."Why don't you go to see Lizzie?I'm sure she'll be glad to see you!"If I could get him to go up to Lizzie's room,then she would be able to see him again!She would love it!I knew she would!
"But-she-no-what if-I can't!"He couldn't say what he was trying to.But he was tensening like he was trying not to cry,again."She-I could never-if-.....Wait,you didn't tell her,did you?"
"Go,I'm sure she wants to thank you."I was hoping he'd drop the fact that I might have let it slip.
Sure enough,he did."Why aren't you up there with her?I mean,it's kinda obvious that you love her.And I think she loves you too....!"He winked and nudged me with his elbow.
"Uhh....Well....When I'm with her,I'm causing her pain.....I can't be near her....I hurt her,and I don't want to do that!"He laughed at my comment and smiled idiotically.
"Lopmon fall down.Go 'BOOM!' "He continued to laugh.He then changed his voice to sound like a woman's."At the tone,the time will be 45 miles per hour and 90 seconds!"He laughed then went back to his normal voice."I'm chocolatey terrified!!"He went into a fit of laughter,then fell to the ground.
"What does all of that mean?"I looked at him uncertainly."That's all stupid....Just go see Lizzie."I pulled him up and he stopped laughing.He went up to Lizzie's room.I wanted to go with him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lizzie's room.......((Author's POV))
Lizzie was still laying on the bed with her face buried in Hiei's scarf."PLEASE!!!I JUST WANT HIM!!"She cried into Hiei's scarf.The boy came into the room.
He was still chuckling from his conversation with the 3-eyed midget."Want who,may I ask?"
"NONE YA!!"Lizzie wasn't in a mood to talk about her feelings.
"Bet I know somethin' that'll make ya smile!"He made his voice sound different again,like an idiot and he was talking REALLY fast."I feel like we're being watched.Do you feel like we're being watched?I dunno,I feel like we're being watched!!"Everyone laughed except Kurama and Lizzie."Hmm...Kay how about..."He thought for a minute."I'm chocolatey terrified!!!"As he said this,he threw small white flowers around the room.Even Kurama laughed.
"THAT'S JUST STUPID!!!!"
"Kay....Obviously you've got a sense of humor like my sister....Sooo......"He thought for a few minutes."Lopmon fall down!Go 'BOOM!' "He changed his voice to a woman's again"At the tone,the time will be 45 miles per hour and 90 seconds!"Yusuke and Kuwabara fell to the floor laughing.Lizzie didn't even snicker.
"THAT'S EVEN STUPIDER!!"
"Well,I know 1 thing that will make anyone laugh!"He took a deep breath." 'Twas a Digimon Christmas,and everyone was busy!Especially the likes of Tentamon and Izzy!Joe played with Gomamon Matt and Gabumon ate Palmon saw Mimi isn't that great?Cody and Upamon shared some sushi while Parurumon sat on Yolei's tushy Tokomon went caroling Ken's thankful for friends while in Davis's dreams the fun never ends goodnight now... Merry Christmas!"No one laughed,but they all looked at Lizzie.She chuckled to herself from under the scarf.
"Kay!Ya got me!"She moved the scarf away from her face and sat up,to the displeasure of Kurama.She looked at the boy.
"Ya probably don't remember me,but I saw you yesterday.You were sittin'on a rock talkin' ter some guy with spiked black hair.'Member?"He raised his eyebrows.
Lizzie's eyes got suddenly wide.She took her locket out from the front of her shirt and opened it.She looked from the boy in her locket,her brother,to the boy standing in front of her.They had the same hair,at least by what Lizzie could see of this boys hair.They had the same skin color,the same type of jeans,the same smile.'I thought he was Brother,earlier,but now I know he is!!!'She looked back up at the boy standing in front of her."S'your name?"
He looked at her with a quizzical expression on his face."Uhh....John.John Jacob."He was lying.
"Yeah,and I'm Queen Isabell."Lizzie was speaking in the most sarcastic voice ever.
'John Jacob' bowed."The pleasure is mine,Your Highness."He stood up and chuckled."Well,you're right.My name's not John Jacob.It's...."He mumbled,"Kumane....."((pronounced:KOO-main))
Lizzie was the only one who heard it.'Kumane?Why does that name sound famili-.....'Her eyes widened.'I knew it!!That's him!!Kumane is Brother!!'She smiled at Kumane."My name's Lizzie Capontee.What's your last name?"
He went over to the window and stared out it."Hiyo,hiyo,high ee yo high ya!Hiyo high ee yo high ya!Hiyo high ee yo high ya!Way ah ay ah,way ah ay ah yo way!"He kept singing the song and Lizzie's eyelids grew heavy,but she refused to go to sleep.
"Kumane Capontee!You can't use that song against me-ee-eee-ya!"She yawned."You promised yo-oo-waa!"She yawned again then fell down deftly onto her bed and was a sleep.
Kurama looked from Lizzie to Kumane,and back again,but Yukina was the one to break the silence."Are you her brother?"She had gone over next to Kumane."Please,if you are tell us."Who can deny the truth to such a sweet little darling angel?Not Kumane!That's for sure!!
"I-don't-I duuno!"He threw his hands up into the air.Truthfully,he wasn't sure.'I'm here,but I'm dead.They can see me and feel me,but I'm a ghost.What's up with this crazy world?!?!Am I goin' loco?!?!'
Lizzie half woke up when she heard Kumane yell."Mmm!Verde!((pronounced:ver-day))Verde...."She only half knew what she was saying.
Kumane was thinking,so he didn't really know what he was saying either."Rojo.((pronounced:row-hoe))Rojo....."Lizzie woke up entirely at the sound of the word "rojo" and sat up.Kumane came out of La-La Land when he realized what he said.
"You-did you?Did you just say 'rojo'?""Lizzie stared at Kumane.
"Uhh....Ye-ye-yeah....I did....."He was looking at Lizzie,straight in the eyes.He absentmindedly took off his hat and glasses.
'Ah!He is!He is!He's exactly the same!!Brother,Brother!It's you!You didn't use The Forlorn Hope!!'Lizzie's eyes were sparkling from excitement,not tears."Kumane!It's you!Brother!"She was bouncing up and down on the bed in her exictement."I was right!You didn't die!You didn't,you didn't!You're stll here,alive!"
At the word alive,Kumane cringed."Well,actually,....no....I'm not technically alive.I'm a ghost or something."Lizzie's excitement suddenly seemed as though it had never been.
"What'd'ya mean?You're here,aren't ya?You gotta be alive....."She trailed off uncertainly.
"I dunno exactly.Liz,'member on your 14th,I took ya up to Mt.Fugi?"After receiving a nod from Lizzie,he continued."Well,I had another present I was going to give you.It's called The Forlorn Hope.I was going to explain it all on the trip back to the city.It's a magic artifact that grants the deepest wish of the one who looks into it.But it's called 'Forlorn' for a reason.As pay the person who looks into it must give their life to have their wish granted.It's ancient as well as magic.I know how you love ancient and magic artifacts.But then,the bus wrecked.I tried to protect you,but you still took more damage than me since you'd just gotten over pnemonia a few weeks ago and you were still pretty sick.After you got knocked out,I used it to make sure you were alright.I'm not alive anymore,Liz.I'm a ghost,I'm dead."
Lizzie was shocked.Her eyes were as big as tear gems,and as round as them."You...mean...that....."Her eyes were turning red and blue again.She was crying blood tears in her right eye and deep blue tears in her left eye."No....You used it....After I researched it,I was hoping that you hadn't...."She started crying so hard that she had to gasp for breath."No!"Kumane sat down next to her and held her close to him.
"Shhh....Don't cry,Liz.I'm working on a way so that I won't be dead....Shh....It's okay....Please,don't cry,Liz.He wouldn't like to see you crying...."By 'he' Kumane meant Hiei."Please,be calm...."
"Verde!Ver-ve-verde!!"Lizzie was clinging to Kumane's shirt.It was being stained blue and with blood."I can't stop!!"
"Rojo....Rojo....It'll be okay....Shh....Calm,calm....I'm here,Liz.I'm always here....."He rubbed her back gently."Liz,Liz,Liz...."Tear gems started trickling out of his eyes.Lizzie felt little marble-like things drop on top of her head.
"Will you sing to me like you use to,Kaime?((KAY-mee))Please,Kaime?I love your songs.I love your voice."
"Which one,Linnie?((LEEN-knee))I've sung you so many songs,that I don't know which ones to sing to you anymore."
"How about.....'Burning Heart of Ice'....."She gasped again and tears were still trickling out of her eyes.
Kumane gently kissed her forehead and started singing."Silently,unknown to all,there's a rise of love.But a fire will fall.She will love him now and forever,but when will he know?Try he'll know never....She's been there,but he makes her heart freeze.He wants to warm it up.He says,'Let me please.'She turns her face away,hoping to cure the pain.But turning away only makes it worse,she feels now more vain....."
He looked down at Lizzie to see if she was asleep.She was.Her eyes were closed,her hands were wrapped around his neck,her head leaning against his chest,her face smiling as brightly as the sun.He couldn't help it.He had to keep singing,he knew she could hear her.
"And a burning heart of ice will never melt away!It's the coldness of the blood that will keep it that way!She will turn her heart to fire if the wish is her own.Her ice heart is not the kind to be shown.'This is not the life that I had in my dream....'It will be a li--fe,that is more clean....."Kumane kissed Lizzie on the forehead again and laid her down on her bed.He continued to hum the tune.
"Kumane,why did you use The Forlorn Hope?I mean,you knew you were going to die,right?"Kurama put his hand on Kumane's shoulder.
"Well,yeah,I knew I had to give my life so that my wish could be granted.I just wanted my little sis to live...."He looked at Kurama,his golden eyes shining the exact same color as his hair."I've been spying on her from the Spirit World ever since the bus wreck that nearly killed her.I had to keep an eye on her so that I was always with her.So that I always kept my promise...."
"Kumane,you must be the best brother that anyone could ever have...."Yukina gave him a hug."I wish my brother could be like you and like Hiei."Kumane smiled and patted her on the head.
The door opened and Hiei came in slowly and cautiously."How is she?"He spoke quietly and calmly.
Kumane looked over at Hiei and grinned evilly."She's fine.Just fell asleep."He snickered then went over to the window again.
"What in the hell is so funny?"Hiei blinked as he stared at Kumane trying to penetrate the mind-barrier Kumane had put up to protest his thoughts.
"Lizzie's shown you her locket,right?"After Hiei nodded he continued."Well,that boy in her locket,is,well....Me!"He had been looking at Lizzie's locket and showed it to Hiei."See this boy is me.When I was 14.It was ages ago.But,I can read minds,too.And you thought that this boy here,me when I was younger,was someone that Liz loved,or loves."Hiei nodded again."Well,you were right,there,but not entirely.She never loved him like say,Romeo loved Juliet.But like a little sister would love a big brother when they had no one else."He put down the mind-barrier so that Hiei could talk into his mind.
"Are you serious?That boy is you?"
"Yep.Liz never had a boyfriend,I don't think....At least not until now."
"So she does have a boyfriend.....?I should have known better than to think my dream could come true."
"Yeah,she's gotta boyfriend,you!"Kumane chuckled aloud.Hiei closed the mind link.
Kuwabara was reading a magazine."What's so funny,Kumane?"
*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lizzie's dream.......
Lizze was runnning down a dark forest path,looking for something.She had to find it!"Come back!Where are you?!"She cried as loud as she could,yet still no sound came.
"Raine!"cried a male' voice."Come and land!"An Ice phoenix flew from the sky and landed somewhere up ahead.
"RAINE!!Come back!Please!Raine!Come here!Please come back to me!"No sound came.She cried as loud as she could,with all her might and will,but no matter how hard she tried,no sound would come!But she had to get to Raine!She had to no matter what obsticals were in her way!
"Raine?Have you any news?Is the gem any where to be found?"It the male's voice again.The phoenix gave a low cry.That meant no."Do you feel up to going out to look else where?Or are you too tired?Do you need to rest?I wouldn't want to lose you too."The phoenix gave a higher cry,but not very much."No,you stay here,Raine.I'll go look for her.Or you could come on my shoulder."
"NO!!WAIT!!I'M HERE!!!!PLEASE!!!I HAVE IT!!!WAIT!!!LET ME GIVE IT TO YOU!!!PLEASE!!!PLEASE!!!"Lizzie could finally hear herself,but barely.It was just a whisper.The boy had apparently heard it,or at least sensed it.
"Hm?Who's there?Hello?"The boy came out of some bushes up ahead along the path."Hm?!Who're you?"The boy had blue hair that came just below his ears and his bangs were really short.His eyes were deep blue.He was wearing a green short-sleeve shirt and some faded old blue jeans.
"MY NAME IS LIZZIE!!I HAVE THE GEM!!!!"She was yelling at the top of her lungs,but she was barely even able to hear herself.
"You have them gem?!"He fell back slightly."You're serious?!You've the Gem of Yang?"His eyes were wide but he looked disbelieving.
"YES!!I HAVE IT!!LET ME GIVE IT TO YOU!!JUST WAIT AND YOU'LL SEE!!!!"She could still barley be heard,but he had heard her and waited.She began digging in her pockets for the Gem of Yang.She found it.It was a large,dark tear gem.It was about the size of a baseball,just a little smaller.It had a chain on it so that it could be worn around the neck."SEE?!?!"He took it from her,but she couldn't hear her self."DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE GEM OF YIN IS?!I'M LOOKING FOR IT!!"This time she could hear herself,and damn was she yelling loud.She put her hand over her mouth."Sorry.....Didn't mean to yell....."
He smiled."Hm!Don't worry about it!And yes,I do know some information about the Gem of Yin."He reached into his pocket and pulled out a tear gem was identical to the Gem of Yang except that it was pearly white."This what you're looking for?"
Lizzie felt herself smile."Oh!Yes!Yes!Yes!Oh!That's what I was looking for!"He handed her the gem and she took it gratfeully."Thank you!Thank you!"She squealed in excitement.
"Use it to save anyone you love.That's what I wanted the Gem of Yang for.I can handle it better than I can handle the Gem of Yin.My spirit has much darkness."He smiled."I think you'll find the Gem of Yin very useful for other things as well....."He disappeared into the darkness.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Reality.....
Lizzie opened her eyes and looked around the room.Kaime was sitting next to her on the bed,Kuwabara was on the ground reading a magazine,Yusuke was leaning against a wall,Yukina was standing next to Kaime,Kurama was at the window gazing out of it,Hiei was just standing there,talking to Kaime,Kate was talking to Botan.They were giggling about something.She felt something in her pocket,but paid it no attention.
"Hey,guys!What's up?"Lizzie had already sat up and was smiling around at everyone.
Hiei jumped when he heard Lizzie's voice."Lizzie!You're awake......"He went over to her bed and sat down next to her on her other side."Are you okay?Do you need anything?"He put his right hand on hers.She looked at Hiei curiously.His eyes were spakling with tears.
"Yeah,I'm fine.Really,I feel great.I'm more worried about you,actually.You're acting a bit odd....."She then looked at Kumane."Hey,I just realized somethin',Kaime!"He looked curious.
"Really?What?"
"You look exactly the same as 7 years ago!Do you not age in the,um,the....whatever the name of the place is that you ghost go to?"She didn't mean to sound funny,but Kumane laughed.
"Haha!I guess we don't!But,I was told that if I was ever brought back to life,my body would be just fine and it would look like the age I truly am now.Problem is I sorta forgot how old I am....."
"Kaime!You're 3 years older than me,remember?"She tickled her brother."Don't you dare say you forgot!!You're 24!!"She couldn't help but tackle her brother playfully."Dimwit!You're so silly!"
"Haha!Very funny,Linnie!I've been dead for 7 years!Did you really expect me to remember?"He tickled his sister's stomach."It's not exactly easy to remember!You try being dead for 7 years and let's see how soon you forget things!"
Lizzie just laid on her brother giggling."Heheheheh!"She spoke softly to herself."I love you,Kaime.That's why I found a way to bring you back....."She gently fingered the Gem of Yin in her pocket.
Hiei rubbed her back and smiled."Lizzie,you've the best personality....."No one had heard tha except him,Kumane,Lizzie,and Kurama.Kate and Botan continued to giggle and and Yukina had joined in."What's so funny,girls?"
Botan stopped giggling."Oh nothing!Just something we found out!About you as a matter of fact,Hiei!"She and the other girls fell into fits of giggles.
Hiei had forgotten all about being kind,and he was furious about them knowing something about him that he didn't think he wanted them to know."What do you know about me?What?!I have a right to know!!!"He was so mad that he stood up and was starting to go towards the giggling girls."TELL ME!!!NOW!!!!"
Yukina was backing up into Botan.Botan was the one to speak,again."Well,I don't really think you want us to say it in front of everyone!!"Hiei glared at her which made her flinch and cower in fear."Okay!Okay!We were just laughing about you and Lizzie!!How much you 2 seem to like each other!!!"
Hiei's eyes widened in horror.He should have known better than to force them to say it aloud.He should have just searched their minds for what was so funny!!He turned around to look at Lizzie,who was still laying on top of Kumane.She was just smiling and giggling.'What?Does she really think it funny?Was she just joking earlier when she said that she really liked me?!'
"Hahaha!You really think that I like him?!"Lizzie's face was red from laughter.Kate nodded."You're such dopes!!Who would like a 3-eyed little freak?!"Kumane shoved a pillow over her head to keep her from going hysterical with laughter.
"Chill,Linnie!You're gonna hurt yourself one of these days from laughing too hard!"He was laughing too."Do I need a cookie?"Lizzie immediately stopped laughing.
'He wouldn't!!I remember that phrase!!It means:"Do i nedd to give evidence?"HE WOULD NEVER SHOW MY LOCKET!!'Kumane was reaching for Lizzie's locket.Lizzie was too quick for him and grabbed his arm."NO!!"Everyone stared at Lizzie."Uhhh.....Heheh?"She was damn embarrassed.'Okay,Lizinator,that was stupid....'
Kurama stared at Lizzie,then at her locket.Botan did the same then got an evil idea.She went over and grabbed Lizzie's locket.She opened it and screamed."I KNEW IT!!!!"She jumped up and down in joy."LIZZIE DOES LIKE HIEI!SHE'S GOT A PICTURE OF HIM IN HER LOCKET!!!!"Everyone began to crowd around Botan,save Kurama,Hiei,Kumane,and Lizzie.
Yusuke burst out in laughter."HAHAHAHA!!!!!!LIZZIE LIKES SHRIMP!!!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lizzie:Okay,I was planning on making them confess their love in this chapter,but I sorta went a little brain dead....

The,well,....everyone......((Author POV))
Lizzie was still staring out of the window.'So....The boy was....Wait!I remember!He looked like him!He gave me a hint!!Raine!The Ice Phoenix!'Just then,something icy blue passed the window with little glittery things following it.Ice crystals following an Ice Phoenix!
"You don't look alright...."Kurama put his hand on Lizzie's head to check her temperature.'She doesn't feel warm.But if she's half Ice Apparition,then she wouldn't feel very warm,but would be for her kind.'Hiei had finished replacing Lizzie's bandages and now had both his hands on Lizzie's shoulders holding her steady.
"Don't lie,Lizzie.If you're not alright,then you should tell him.I'm sure he can help."Hiei was looking at Lizzie with the kind of love only a brother would have.
"I'm just thinkin'.....'Bout the boy.....He called that bird 'Raine'.....In Brother's poem for me,there's a boy and he calls down an Ice Phoenix,like the one the boy had.In the poem,the Ice Phoenix's name is Raine...."She didn't really mean to say all that aloud.
"You're brother?Was he the boy down in the lobby?"Botan was directing this towards Hiei.Her eyes were sparkling with tears.
Hiei nodded so that Lizzie couldn't see.Then he sent a message through telepathy that said:"Don't tell her....She isn't suppose to know...."
"Lizzie....?Are you sure you're alright?"Kurama felt her head again to make sure she wasn't warm."Are you half Ice Apparition?"
"Hm?"She broke her gaze from the window and looked at Kurama ."Ice Apparition?I don't think so....All I know is that part of me is Wolf Youkai....I may just be fourth Wolf Youkai and fourth Ice Apparition....I don't know....."A chill was sent down her spine and she got chill bumps.She started rubbing her arms to get rid of them.
Hiei pulled her a little closer to him."Lizzie....." 'I wish I could tell you how much I care....I want to tell you that I love you....I wish,I wish......' He touched her face like she were a fragile porcelin doll.'Her skin is so soft and smooth....'
"Hm?Yeah?"Lizzie looked at him,worriedly."What?"She felt his rough hand against her smooth cheek.
Hiei looked at her.Lizzie was crying."Nevermind.....It's....not important...."He wiped away her tears with the sleeve of his cloak."Don't cry.There's no need."He smiled at her.She returned it.
"I think I might be part Ice Apparition....I remember that when I was younger and I was crying,Brother always cried with me.But his tears weren't normal.They turned to tear gems.Golden tear gems."She reached into her pocket and pulled out a necklace with a gold sphere as the pendent of it.It was a golden tear gem."This is one of Brother's tear gems.But,when I cry,my tears are usually normal,unless I'm in love and my heart is aching.Then my tears are either deep blue tears or dark red blood tears....."
Kurama,Hiei,Yukina,and Botan looked stunned.Hiei was the first to speak."That means you are part Ice Apparition....But only a quarter Ice Apparition....At least,that's the blood tears....The deep blue tears...they mean you're part Wolf Youkai....So....Maybe you're-"He got cut short by Lizzie.
"No.I'm not three fourths.My mother,she was the Youkai.She was half Wolf Youkai and half Ice Apparition.I remember now.My brains kinda rattled."Lizzie gently touched her head where the main part of the injury was and flinched.
Hiei reached to her hand and held it in his."Don't touch it....You'll hurt yourself...."He massaged her left hand with his right,but continued to keep her steady with his left.
Lizzie nodded,but painfully.'Damn,I hate being like this.It hurts to just move!DAMN DAMN DAMN!!This sucks!Verde rojo!!Damn I really am weird.....'She started to cry again,but she refused to let her tears flow,so her vision got blocked by them.There was something wrong with her sight,though.Sure her vision was obscured,but it was read and blue,like she was wearing 3-D glasses and looking at a blank peice of white paper.
"Lizzie...."Hiei looked worried."Are you alright?"
"Yeah...."She barely could breath,let alone speak."Fine....."
"You're crying....Blue tears and blood tears....."Hiei wiped her eyes on the sleeve of his cloak again."You're in love and pain...."He wiped his own eyes on the back of his hand,but his tears were normal.((well,they were clear tears.no tears are normal for Hiei))"Who-?"He changed his mind and left to the lobby,letting the others talk.
"He's correct.Your right eye looks like it's bleeding.While your left eye looks like you spilled blue paint under it."Yukina was standing in front of Botan and looked utterly shocked while saying this.Botan was trying not to laugh.
"Hey,cool.I thought tears could only be like salt water...."((when tears run into your mouth,they taste salty))Kuwabara was just being his normal self." 'Cept of course Yukina's...."
Kurama dried Lizzie's tears with a peice of cloth."Please,don't cry,Lizzie.You're putting stress on your wounds."He put his hands on Lizzie's shoulders and gently forced her into laying flat again."You should just sleep.Rest is good for you right now."He smiled gently.Lizzie wouldn't listen,of course.She kept crying.
"I-can't-stop-crying....."Lizzie buried her face in Hiei's scarf."I-just-can't!!"The scarf was being stained blue and red from her tears.
"Is there anything we can do to help?Anything we can get?"Kurama was worried.
"I-want-....him....."Lizzie was worrying that she was going to never see him again."I-want-him!!"She had to scream to be heard.

Hiei.....((Hiei's POV(duh!!) ))
I was standing in the lobby of the hospital.I couldn't be near her.I was causing her pain.Why must I love her?!She loves that boy in her locket!Even if he's gone she will forever love him!!I can't interfere!!But I love her....I don't know what to do.Someone send me a sign!
"Hey!You're that boy she was with!"Someone was calling someone else,I just ignored it until I realized that the person was talking to me.I turned around to see who it was.It was the boy from earlier.
"Yes,I am."I held out my hand in greeting.Ever since I met Lizzie,I've been acting different.He took my hand.
"She alright?She waken up yet?"He let go of my hand.He was still wearing sunglasses,but I could tell he was forcing himself not to cry.I nodded and put my hand on his shoulder.
"Cry.If you want to,go ahead."He looked at me,quivering."It's good to let your emotions out by shedding tears every now and then."I smiled at him gently,at least,I tried.I gripped his shoulder tightly.
"No,it's well....My tears....Or,more correctly,gems."His eyebrows raised,trying to ask me if I understood.I nodded."Did you tell her?"His voice raised and quavered.I couldn't tell him I broke his promise,betrayed his trust!I just kept silent."Well?"
An idea suddenly struck me."Why don't you go to see Lizzie?I'm sure she'll be glad to see you!"If I could get him to go up to Lizzie's room,then she would be able to see him again!She would love it!I knew she would!
"But-she-no-what if-I can't!"He couldn't say what he was trying to.But he was tensening like he was trying not to cry,again."She-I could never-if-.....Wait,you didn't tell her,did you?"
"Go,I'm sure she wants to thank you."I was hoping he'd drop the fact that I might have let it slip.
Sure enough,he did."Why aren't you up there with her?I mean,it's kinda obvious that you love her.And I think she loves you too....!"He winked and nudged me with his elbow.
"Uhh....Well....When I'm with her,I'm causing her pain.....I can't be near her....I hurt her,and I don't want to do that!"He laughed at my comment and smiled idiotically.
"Lopmon fall down.Go 'BOOM!' "He continued to laugh.He then changed his voice to sound like a woman's."At the tone,the time will be 45 miles per hour and 90 seconds!"He laughed then went back to his normal voice."I'm chocolatey terrified!!"He went into a fit of laughter,then fell to the ground.
"What does all of that mean?"I looked at him uncertainly."That's all stupid....Just go see Lizzie."I pulled him up and he stopped laughing.He went up to Lizzie's room.I wanted to go with him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lizzie's room.......((Author's POV))
Lizzie was still laying on the bed with her face buried in Hiei's scarf."PLEASE!!!I JUST WANT HIM!!"She cried into Hiei's scarf.The boy came into the room.
He was still chuckling from his conversation with the 3-eyed midget."Want who,may I ask?"
"NONE YA!!"Lizzie wasn't in a mood to talk about her feelings.
"Bet I know somethin' that'll make ya smile!"He made his voice sound different again,like an idiot and he was talking REALLY fast."I feel like we're being watched.Do you feel like we're being watched?I dunno,I feel like we're being watched!!"Everyone laughed except Kurama and Lizzie."Hmm...Kay how about..."He thought for a minute."I'm chocolatey terrified!!!"As he said this,he threw small white flowers around the room.Even Kurama laughed.
"THAT'S JUST STUPID!!!!"
"Kay....Obviously you've got a sense of humor like my sister....Sooo......"He thought for a few minutes."Lopmon fall down!Go 'BOOM!' "He changed his voice to a woman's again"At the tone,the time will be 45 miles per hour and 90 seconds!"Yusuke and Kuwabara fell to the floor laughing.Lizzie didn't even snicker.
"THAT'S EVEN STUPIDER!!"
"Well,I know 1 thing that will make anyone laugh!"He took a deep breath." 'Twas a Digimon Christmas,and everyone was busy!Especially the likes of Tentamon and Izzy!Joe played with Gomamon Matt and Gabumon ate Palmon saw Mimi isn't that great?Cody and Upamon shared some sushi while Parurumon sat on Yolei's tushy Tokomon went caroling Ken's thankful for friends while in Davis's dreams the fun never ends goodnight now... Merry Christmas!"No one laughed,but they all looked at Lizzie.She chuckled to herself from under the scarf.
"Kay!Ya got me!"She moved the scarf away from her face and sat up,to the displeasure of Kurama.She looked at the boy.
"Ya probably don't remember me,but I saw you yesterday.You were sittin'on a rock talkin' ter some guy with spiked black hair.'Member?"He raised his eyebrows.
Lizzie's eyes got suddenly wide.She took her locket out from the front of her shirt and opened it.She looked from the boy in her locket,her brother,to the boy standing in front of her.They had the same hair,at least by what Lizzie could see of this boys hair.They had the same skin color,the same type of jeans,the same smile.'I thought he was Brother,earlier,but now I know he is!!!'She looked back up at the boy standing in front of her."S'your name?"
He looked at her with a quizzical expression on his face."Uhh....John.John Jacob."He was lying.
"Yeah,and I'm Queen Isabell."Lizzie was speaking in the most sarcastic voice ever.
'John Jacob' bowed."The pleasure is mine,Your Highness."He stood up and chuckled."Well,you're right.My name's not John Jacob.It's...."He mumbled,"Kumane....."((pronounced:KOO-main))
Lizzie was the only one who heard it.'Kumane?Why does that name sound famili-.....'Her eyes widened.'I knew it!!That's him!!Kumane is Brother!!'She smiled at Kumane."My name's Lizzie Capontee.What's your last name?"
He went over to the window and stared out it."Hiyo,hiyo,high ee yo high ya!Hiyo high ee yo high ya!Hiyo high ee yo high ya!Way ah ay ah,way ah ay ah yo way!"He kept singing the song and Lizzie's eyelids grew heavy,but she refused to go to sleep.
"Kumane Capontee!You can't use that song against me-ee-eee-ya!"She yawned."You promised yo-oo-waa!"She yawned again then fell down deftly onto her bed and was a sleep.
Kurama looked from Lizzie to Kumane,and back again,but Yukina was the one to break the silence."Are you her brother?"She had gone over next to Kumane."Please,if you are tell us."Who can deny the truth to such a sweet little darling angel?Not Kumane!That's for sure!!
"I-don't-I duuno!"He threw his hands up into the air.Truthfully,he wasn't sure.'I'm here,but I'm dead.They can see me and feel me,but I'm a ghost.What's up with this crazy world?!?!Am I goin' loco?!?!'
Lizzie half woke up when she heard Kumane yell."Mmm!Verde!((pronounced:ver-day))Verde...."She only half knew what she was saying.
Kumane was thinking,so he didn't really know what he was saying either."Rojo.((pronounced:row-hoe))Rojo....."Lizzie woke up entirely at the sound of the word "rojo" and sat up.Kumane came out of La-La Land when he realized what he said.
"You-did you?Did you just say 'rojo'?""Lizzie stared at Kumane.
"Uhh....Ye-ye-yeah....I did....."He was looking at Lizzie,straight in the eyes.He absentmindedly took off his hat and glasses.
'Ah!He is!He is!He's exactly the same!!Brother,Brother!It's you!You didn't use The Forlorn Hope!!'Lizzie's eyes were sparkling from excitement,not tears."Kumane!It's you!Brother!"She was bouncing up and down on the bed in her exictement."I was right!You didn't die!You didn't,you didn't!You're stll here,alive!"
At the word alive,Kumane cringed."Well,actually,....no....I'm not technically alive.I'm a ghost or something."Lizzie's excitement suddenly seemed as though it had never been.
"What'd'ya mean?You're here,aren't ya?You gotta be alive....."She trailed off uncertainly.
"I dunno exactly.Liz,'member on your 14th,I took ya up to Mt.Fugi?"After receiving a nod from Lizzie,he continued."Well,I had another present I was going to give you.It's called The Forlorn Hope.I was going to explain it all on the trip back to the city.It's a magic artifact that grants the deepest wish of the one who looks into it.But it's called 'Forlorn' for a reason.As pay the person who looks into it must give their life to have their wish granted.It's ancient as well as magic.I know how you love ancient and magic artifacts.But then,the bus wrecked.I tried to protect you,but you still took more damage than me since you'd just gotten over pnemonia a few weeks ago and you were still pretty sick.After you got knocked out,I used it to make sure you were alright.I'm not alive anymore,Liz.I'm a ghost,I'm dead."
Lizzie was shocked.Her eyes were as big as tear gems,and as round as them."You...mean...that....."Her eyes were turning red and blue again.She was crying blood tears in her right eye and deep blue tears in her left eye."No....You used it....After I researched it,I was hoping that you hadn't...."She started crying so hard that she had to gasp for breath."No!"Kumane sat down next to her and held her close to him.
"Shhh....Don't cry,Liz.I'm working on a way so that I won't be dead....Shh....It's okay....Please,don't cry,Liz.He wouldn't like to see you crying...."By 'he' Kumane meant Hiei."Please,be calm...."
"Verde!Ver-ve-verde!!"Lizzie was clinging to Kumane's shirt.It was being stained blue and with blood."I can't stop!!"
"Rojo....Rojo....It'll be okay....Shh....Calm,calm....I'm here,Liz.I'm always here....."He rubbed her back gently."Liz,Liz,Liz...."Tear gems started trickling out of his eyes.Lizzie felt little marble-like things drop on top of her head.
"Will you sing to me like you use to,Kaime?((KAY-mee))Please,Kaime?I love your songs.I love your voice."
"Which one,Linnie?((LEEN-knee))I've sung you so many songs,that I don't know which ones to sing to you anymore."
"How about.....'Burning Heart of Ice'....."She gasped again and tears were still trickling out of her eyes.
Kumane gently kissed her forehead and started singing."Silently,unknown to all,there's a rise of love.But a fire will fall.She will love him now and forever,but when will he know?Try he'll know never....She's been there,but he makes her heart freeze.He wants to warm it up.He says,'Let me please.'She turns her face away,hoping to cure the pain.But turning away only makes it worse,she feels now more vain....."
He looked down at Lizzie to see if she was asleep.She was.Her eyes were closed,her hands were wrapped around his neck,her head leaning against his chest,her face smiling as brightly as the sun.He couldn't help it.He had to keep singing,he knew she could hear her.
"And a burning heart of ice will never melt away!It's the coldness of the blood that will keep it that way!She will turn her heart to fire if the wish is her own.Her ice heart is not the kind to be shown.'This is not the life that I had in my dream....'It will be a li--fe,that is more clean....."Kumane kissed Lizzie on the forehead again and laid her down on her bed.He continued to hum the tune.
"Kumane,why did you use The Forlorn Hope?I mean,you knew you were going to die,right?"Kurama put his hand on Kumane's shoulder.
"Well,yeah,I knew I had to give my life so that my wish could be granted.I just wanted my little sis to live...."He looked at Kurama,his golden eyes shining the exact same color as his hair."I've been spying on her from the Spirit World ever since the bus wreck that nearly killed her.I had to keep an eye on her so that I was always with her.So that I always kept my promise...."
"Kumane,you must be the best brother that anyone could ever have...."Yukina gave him a hug."I wish my brother could be like you and like Hiei."Kumane smiled and patted her on the head.
The door opened and Hiei came in slowly and cautiously."How is she?"He spoke quietly and calmly.
Kumane looked over at Hiei and grinned evilly."She's fine.Just fell asleep."He snickered then went over to the window again.
"What in the hell is so funny?"Hiei blinked as he stared at Kumane trying to penetrate the mind-barrier Kumane had put up to protest his thoughts.
"Lizzie's shown you her locket,right?"After Hiei nodded he continued."Well,that boy in her locket,is,well....Me!"He had been looking at Lizzie's locket and showed it to Hiei."See this boy is me.When I was 14.It was ages ago.But,I can read minds,too.And you thought that this boy here,me when I was younger,was someone that Liz loved,or loves."Hiei nodded again."Well,you were right,there,but not entirely.She never loved him like say,Romeo loved Juliet.But like a little sister would love a big brother when they had no one else."He put down the mind-barrier so that Hiei could talk into his mind.
"Are you serious?That boy is you?"
"Yep.Liz never had a boyfriend,I don't think....At least not until now."
"So she does have a boyfriend.....?I should have known better than to think my dream could come true."
"Yeah,she's gotta boyfriend,you!"Kumane chuckled aloud.Hiei closed the mind link.
Kuwabara was reading a magazine."What's so funny,Kumane?"

Lizzie's dream.......
Lizze was runnning down a dark forest path,looking for something.She had to find it!"Come back!Where are you?!"She cried as loud as she could,yet still no sound came.
"Raine!"cried a male' voice."Come and land!"An Ice phoenix flew from the sky and landed somewhere up ahead.
"RAINE!!Come back!Please!Raine!Come here!Please come back to me!"No sound came.She cried as loud as she could,with all her might and will,but no matter how hard she tried,no sound would come!But she had to get to Raine!She had to no matter what obsticals were in her way!
"Raine?Have you any news?Is the gem any where to be found?"It the male's voice again.The phoenix gave a low cry.That meant no."Do you feel up to going out to look else where?Or are you too tired?Do you need to rest?I wouldn't want to lose you too."The phoenix gave a higher cry,but not very much."No,you stay here,Raine.I'll go look for her.Or you could come on my shoulder."
"NO!!WAIT!!I'M HERE!!!!PLEASE!!!I HAVE IT!!!WAIT!!!LET ME GIVE IT TO YOU!!!PLEASE!!!PLEASE!!!"Lizzie could finally hear herself,but barely.It was just a whisper.The boy had apparently heard it,or at least sensed it.
"Hm?Who's there?Hello?"The boy came out of some bushes up ahead along the path."Hm?!Who're you?"The boy had blue hair that came just below his ears and his bangs were really short.His eyes were deep blue.He was wearing a green short-sleeve shirt and some faded old blue jeans.
"MY NAME IS LIZZIE!!I HAVE THE GEM!!!!"She was yelling at the top of her lungs,but she was barely even able to hear herself.
"You have them gem?!"He fell back slightly."You're serious?!You've the Gem of Yang?"His eyes were wide but he looked disbelieving.
"YES!!I HAVE IT!!LET ME GIVE IT TO YOU!!JUST WAIT AND YOU'LL SEE!!!!"She could still barley be heard,but he had heard her and waited.She began digging in her pockets for the Gem of Yang.She found it.It was a large,dark tear gem.It was about the size of a baseball,just a little smaller.It had a chain on it so that it could be worn around the neck."SEE?!?!"He took it from her,but she couldn't hear her self."DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE GEM OF YIN IS?!I'M LOOKING FOR IT!!"This time she could hear herself,and damn was she yelling loud.She put her hand over her mouth."Sorry.....Didn't mean to yell....."
He smiled."Hm!Don't worry about it!And yes,I do know some information about the Gem of Yin."He reached into his pocket and pulled out a tear gem was identical to the Gem of Yang except that it was pearly white."This what you're looking for?"
Lizzie felt herself smile."Oh!Yes!Yes!Yes!Oh!That's what I was looking for!"He handed her the gem and she took it gratfeully."Thank you!Thank you!"She squealed in excitement.
"Use it to save anyone you love.That's what I wanted the Gem of Yang for.I can handle it better than I can handle the Gem of Yin.My spirit has much darkness."He smiled."I think you'll find the Gem of Yin very useful for other things as well....."He disappeared into the darkness.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Reality.....
Lizzie opened her eyes and looked around the room.Kaime was sitting next to her on the bed,Kuwabara was on the ground reading a magazine,Yusuke was leaning against a wall,Yukina was standing next to Kaime,Kurama was at the window gazing out of it,Hiei was just standing there,talking to Kaime,Kate was talking to Botan.They were giggling about something.She felt something in her pocket,but paid it no attention.
"Hey,guys!What's up?"Lizzie had already sat up and was smiling around at everyone.
Hiei jumped when he heard Lizzie's voice."Lizzie!You're awake......"He went over to her bed and sat down next to her on her other side."Are you okay?Do you need anything?"He put his right hand on hers.She looked at Hiei curiously.His eyes were spakling with tears.
"Yeah,I'm fine.Really,I feel great.I'm more worried about you,actually.You're acting a bit odd....."She then looked at Kumane."Hey,I just realized somethin',Kaime!"He looked curious.
"Really?What?"
"You look exactly the same as 7 years ago!Do you not age in the,um,the....whatever the name of the place is that you ghost go to?"She didn't mean to sound funny,but Kumane laughed.
"Haha!I guess we don't!But,I was told that if I was ever brought back to life,my body would be just fine and it would look like the age I truly am now.Problem is I sorta forgot how old I am....."
"Kaime!You're 3 years older than me,remember?"She tickled her brother."Don't you dare say you forgot!!You're 24!!"She couldn't help but tackle her brother playfully."Dimwit!You're so silly!"
"Haha!Very funny,Linnie!I've been dead for 7 years!Did you really expect me to remember?"He tickled his sister's stomach."It's not exactly easy to remember!You try being dead for 7 years and let's see how soon you forget things!"
Lizzie just laid on her brother giggling."Heheheheh!"She spoke softly to herself."I love you,Kaime.That's why I found a way to bring you back....."She gently fingered the Gem of Yin in her pocket.
Hiei rubbed her back and smiled."Lizzie,you've the best personality....."No one had heard tha except him,Kumane,Lizzie,and Kurama.Kate and Botan continued to giggle and and Yukina had joined in."What's so funny,girls?"
Botan stopped giggling."Oh nothing!Just something we found out!About you as a matter of fact,Hiei!"She and the other girls fell into fits of giggles.
Hiei had forgotten all about being kind,and he was furious about them knowing something about him that he didn't think he wanted them to know."What do you know about me?What?!I have a right to know!!!"He was so mad that he stood up and was starting to go towards the giggling girls."TELL ME!!!NOW!!!!"
Yukina was backing up into Botan.Botan was the one to speak,again."Well,I don't really think you want us to say it in front of everyone!!"Hiei glared at her which made her flinch and cower in fear."Okay!Okay!We were just laughing about you and Lizzie!!How much you 2 seem to like each other!!!"
Hiei's eyes widened in horror.He should have known better than to force them to say it aloud.He should have just searched their minds for what was so funny!!He turned around to look at Lizzie,who was still laying on top of Kumane.She was just smiling and giggling.'What?Does she really think it funny?Was she just joking earlier when she said that she really liked me?!'
"Hahaha!You really think that I like him?!"Lizzie's face was red from laughter.Kate nodded."You're such dopes!!Who would like a 3-eyed little freak?!"Kumane shoved a pillow over her head to keep her from going hysterical with laughter.
"Chill,Linnie!You're gonna hurt yourself one of these days from laughing too hard!"He was laughing too."Do I need a cookie?"Lizzie immediately stopped laughing.
'He wouldn't!!I remember that phrase!!It means:"Do i nedd to give evidence?"HE WOULD NEVER SHOW MY LOCKET!!'Kumane was reaching for Lizzie's locket.Lizzie was too quick for him and grabbed his arm."NO!!"Everyone stared at Lizzie."Uhhh.....Heheh?"She was damn embarrassed.'Okay,Lizinator,that was stupid....'
Kurama stared at Lizzie,then at her locket.Botan did the same then got an evil idea.She went over and grabbed Lizzie's locket.She opened it and screamed."I KNEW IT!!!!"She jumped up and down in joy."LIZZIE DOES LIKE HIEI!SHE'S GOT A PICTURE OF HIM IN HER LOCKET!!!!"Everyone began to crowd around Botan,save Kurama,Hiei,Kumane,and Lizzie.
Yusuke burst out in laughter."HAHAHAHA!!!!!!LIZZIE LIKES SHRIMP!!!"
