Inside........
Yusuke and Kuwabara were at the window trying to see what was going on.And they did see.Yusuke fell on the floor laughing."HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!"
Keiko glared at him."What's so funny?"She was furious at him and Kuwabara for invading on Hiei and Lizzie's privacy.
Kuwabara answered."I think they admitted that they love each other......"
Kurama was even interested now."Why do you say that,Kuwabara?What are they doing?"
"Shrimpy just kissed Lizzie......."He continued to stare out the window.Kurama and Kumane cam running over to see.When Kumane saw he pushed Kuwabara out of the way.He let Kurama stay and watch though.
"Verde rojo......((var-day row-ho))He did....."He and Kurama moved out of the way to let the girls see.All of them awwed.
"Shrimp's in love!"Botan giggled.
"It's so sweet!I didn't think he would ever admitt it!He doesn't like to share his feelings."Yukina smiled.
"I knew she would do it sometime!"Kate laughed.
"How sweet!I didn't know Hiei knew how to love!"Keiko giggled also.
"Lemme see again!!Lemme see!!!"Yusuke was trying to get up to the window but was being held back by Kuwabara and Kumane.
"Yusuke,how would you like it if someone was spying on you when you were kissing someone?"Botan and the rest of the girls had hung a blanket up over the window so that no one could spy on Hiei and Lizzie.
"Good point....but ya gotta admitt that it's not everyday you see Hiei being nice!"They all sat down on the floor of the den.
Kumane kept glancing at the window.'I wish I could be alive right now,Linnie.Just for you.....'He began to cr very silently.The tears were streaming down his face.'Linnie......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 screams,'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.....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 that is to be shown.'This is not the life that I had in my dream....'It will be a li--fe,that is more clean.....'He began to hum the tune aloud.
"Kumane,are you alright?"It was Yukina's soft voice that he heard.She was sitting next to him,with her hand on his arm.
"Yeah!I'm fine."He was trying to convince himself more than her.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Hiei and Lizzie.........
Hiei was still kissing Lizzie,then a girl about Lizzie's size walked up,but she was 12.She had long,red-black hair;small,almond shaped olive-green eyes;dark tan skin;and was wearing a teal top with blue jean shorts.She went upto Genkai's temple and stopped on the steps when she saw Hiei and Lizzie.She froze,mouth slightly open.
Hiei drew his head slightly back from Lizzie's,but kept his hand on the back of her head.He looked at her in the eyes.She stared back.Her eyes were beginning to water,with normal tears.
"Uhh...mmm...Mmm-hmmm....."The 12 year old was looking from one to the other.When she heard the girl's voice,Lizzie looked at her.
"Oh,hey,Ash!"Lizzie smiled,but the girl did not return it."What?Did I do something wrong?"Hiei looked at the girl too,but frowned at her.
The girl still looked shocked."Lizzie?Are you alright?"She came up the remaining steps and stood in front of Lizzie."You swore that you'd never do that.I didn't believe you at first,but after youd didn't for so many years,I thought perhaps,you weren't lying."
"Ash,what're you talking about?"Lizzie's tears began to disappear."I didn't do anything."
"Liz,I'm not blind.You just kissed him....."The girl's mouth was hanging open slightly and she was pointing at Hiei."I will never understand the mind of a teenager again until I turn into one again...."
Hiei was staring at the girl with all 3 eyes."Who are you?"He wasn't in a good mood.Lizzie took his hand and squeezed it gently.
"She's alright,Hiei.She's my friend.It's a long story."
"Yeah,and I think it's getting longer.Explain,Lizinator!Now!"She turned to Hiei."My name is Ash,though it's not really an of your business."She sat down on the swing on Lizzie's other side.
"Well,I....."Lizzie couldn't say it again."Open a mind link,Ash.It's easier that way!"Ash did as she was told.She opened a mind link so that they could talk.
~"Well?"~
~"I really love him.That's what....."~
~"Oh my Heavens!!You're in love?"~
~"Yes!He loves me too.He said so.He kissed me,not the other way around....."~
~"You liked it,didn't you?"~
Lizzie blushed.~"No.....Not really....."~She looked up at Ash and blushed more.
~"Did too!!"~Ash grinned.
~"Okay!So I did!Is that so wrong?"~Ash closed the mind link.She looked at Hiei and smiled.
"You have a good taste of girls."She made a motion with her hand that Hiei recognized as the Sign of the Yin.That meant that Ash was one of the Yin,or the Light.Hiei nodded and stood up.
"May I speak to you in private,Ash?"She nodded and followed Hiei around the house and to the back yard.
__________________________________________
The yard with Hiei and Ash..........
"What do you need?"Hiei was staring at the stars,his back facing Ash.He didn't reply immediately.
"I wanted to ask you if you have lived before as an Ice Apparition named Senko?"He turned and looked at her.She nodded.
"I was injured badly and had to hide in a human baby's body.Much as Youko Kurama had to do."She sighed."I like my human's name,though.Ash.It's a nice name."She stretched her arms."Anything else you need to know?"
"No,that is all I wanted to know."He went back to the front porch,followed by Ash.
___________________________________________
Inside.............
Kumane was still crying silently.Kurama was standing next to Kumane."Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yeah."He wiped his eyes to stop the flow of tear gems."I'm fine.I'm happy for Liz.I really am.....I just wish I could be here for her.Really be here,I mean.Be alive.I guess I'm kinda regretting of using the Forlorn Hope."
"Kumane,there is a way to revive you."Kurama sat down next to him and put his hand on Kumane's shoulder.
"No!I don't want anyone to use the Forlorn Hope!"He was furious and ferocious right now."It is a menace!That thing should be destroyed!!"He was starting to get dangerouly angry.
"Calm down,Kumane!I wasn't thinkning of that!"Kumane sat back down,slightly more relaxed."I did some research,and found a book about something called the Gem of Yin.Supposedly,it will obey the weilder if the weilder has the Light Soul.I couldn't find out anything about that,though.If we can find it,then we can use it to revive you."He patted Kumane on the shoulder.
"Are you serious?"Kumane smiled when Kurama nodded."It won't cost someone there life?"Kurama shook his head."This is unbelievable!"Kumane clutched his chest,just above his heart,then fell over backwards.
They all gathered around him,worried that he had had a heart-attack.Yukina ran to the door and pulled it open as fast as she could.
___________________________________
Meanwhile,outside.........
Hiei sat back down next to Lizzie.Ash sat down in front of the swing,but out of reach of Lizzie's feet.She was swinging back and forth.Lizzie was giggling and staring out at the stars and the waning moon.Hiei touched Lizzie's hand."Lizzie,what is funny about the night sky?"She broke her gaze from the stars and looked,smilingly at Hiei.
"Nothing.I was just thinking."She leaned onto him."I was thinking about something that happened to me and Kaime when I was 8 and her was 11."Ash snickered."You remember,don't ya,Midget-Girl?"
"Hey!I would be taller than you if that Tigeru guy hadn't attacked me!"
"Toguro!Not Tigeru!"Lizzie giggled again.
"Yeah,I know what you're talking about,Liz.The Mucho Grande Tomato Battle?"Lizzie nodded then gigled again.
"Ugh.My hair had been white then.It was red for months!"Hiei looked from one girl to the other curiously.
"What tomato battle?"The two girls fell into laughter.
"Kaime and I went to Spain when I was 8.They had a Tomato Battle.Kaime and I happened to be at the exact place at the exact time of the Battle.It was hilarious!We were covered in tomato sauce.It was so much fun!"
"Kaime was covered from head to toe!That's why his hair is golden blonde now.It used to white-blonde.He didn't put juice in his hair to get it out like Liz did.It still took forever for her to get the saucy 'maters out of her hair!!!"ASh fell over laughing.
"Senko was with us.That's how Ash knows about it."Lizzie yawned as the door opened wide.Yukina came out looking very worried."What's up,Yukina?"
"It Kumane!Kurama thinks he's had a heart-attack!"Lizzie's eyes got wide and her heart raced.
"Kaime?!"She jumped up and ran inside to see.Hiei and Yukina followed.Ash let them go in before she got up and went in.She had guessed what had happened.
Lizzie was kneeling down next to Kumane,crying tears of blood."Kaime!Kaime!Please!Wake up!"Ash walked in and saw Kumane.She looked disgusted at Lizzie.Her arms were crossed across her chest.
"You know what you're supposed to do,Liz!Don't let the shock get to you!"She rolled her eyes as she said this."Liz!YOU'RE A DIMWIT!!!!"Ash closed her eyes for a few seconds and in those few seconds,Lizzie was lifted into the air and put back down on the ground a few feet away from Kumane.Ash plopped down next to Kumane,where Lizzie had been.She snickered.
"Mucho Grande Tomato Battle!"Kumane started to snicker in his sleep.He then woke up and jumped up into the air,then landed on his feet.He was in stitches with laughter.
"The Tomato Battle!That day rocked!!Linnie's hair was pink for months!!!HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"He fell onto the floor laughing."And your hair was!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"Ash threw a pillow at Kumane to shut him up.
"Can it!I never did get my hair back to normal!Obviously,neither did you!!Your hair was still golden blonde those years ago when you sneaked using the Forlorn Hope instead of letting me use it!"She laughed too."You're such a barnical head!"She fell down laughing too."My hair was funny-looking,wasn't it?"Lizzie stood up with her eyes red from crying.
"Kaime?"She walked over to him and sat next to him.He looked at her to acknowledge her."Are you alright?"She leaned ontp his shoulder.
"I'm fine,Linnie."He stroked her head."Calm down,I just got shocked.I'm fine."He began to hum her lullaby.Her eyelids started to close,but she refused to go to sleep.Hiei sat down on Lizzie's other side.Lizzie sat up semi-straight.She swayed slightly then fell over into Hiei's lap and fell asleep.
"Lizzie,you're the sweetest thing in the world....."Hiei was speaking softly so none of the others could hear."You are so kind....."He kissed Lizzie on the forehead.
"Hiei,we all know.You don't have to hide it."Kurama had spoken.He was grinning."You don't have to hide it anymore."He patted Hiei on the shoulder and whispered in his ear,"You're doing a great job of being a boyfriend,by the way."He grinned.
"Leave me alone,Kitsune."Hiei wasn't in a mood to talk about Lizzie.Ash sat in front of him."What do you want,Ash?"
"I heard what Kurama said.He's right,you know."Hiei looked at her,shocked."I'm not joking!He's right!You really are."She looked at Kumane out of the corner of her eyes."You're a boyfriend any brother could and should be proud of."Kumane smiled and nodded.She looked back at Hiei."Just don't listen to the sarcastic comments that any of us make.I bet that'll help."Ash smiled.
"Thank you......"He fiddled with Lizzie's hair.'She's so beautiful.....I wish there were some way to revive her brother.....That would make her happy,I know it would......'Hiei laughed and tickled Lizzie's neck gently.He couldn't help it.He was happy.
"Hey,Kumane!"
"Yeah,Sen?"
"I....it.....Her tear gem is here....."Ashe looked at Kumane like she wanted to look through him.
"What?Whose?I'm not following you......"
"HER tear gem.......You know,HER......"She raised her eyebrows.Kumane nodded.
"You mean the Gem of Yin?"Ash nodded."Then.....I....."He reached into Lizzie's pocket and pulled out the Gem of Yin."Woah......But where'd she ge-"He looked up at where Ash had been,but now there was a boy with blue hair and eyes and a girl with white-grey hair and eyes."Woah......Yang and Yin....."Ash popped up behind them.
"Kumane,these are their decendants not them.Do they look like they could produce those tear gems?"Kumane looked up at the ceiling,thinkning.Then he looked back down at Ash and shook his head."I thought so.This is Kumane,guys."She nodded her head in Kumane's direction."Kumane,this is Yinaro((Yeen-ay-row))"She gestured to the girl."And this is Tonto((tawn-tow))"She gestured towards the boy.
"My name is not Tonto.My name is Kazuo((Cause-oo))."He looked at the Lizzie and smiled."She's just like I remember her.....Nothing is different about her.....Not one thing....."His eyes began to water as he looked at Lizzie.He sat down next to her."Riyo((riy-oo)) is so beautiful......"He smiled wider.
"Uhhh.....Tonto?That's not Riyo......That's Isabella....Isabella Capontee......"Ash looked at Kazuo uncertainly.Then she looked at Lizzie.Her mouth fell open."Oh my god!It is Riyo!!"Yinaro walked over and stood over Kazuo,her arms crossed over her chest and her eyebrows raised.
"That's Riyo?Maybe Riyo's decendant,but I don't think that's Riyo....."She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear."I've seen Mama's pictures of Riyo,they don't look exactly like her,but they sort of do....."Kumane stood up and cleared his throat to get their attention.
"Lizzie isn't this Riyo person.And she's not his decendant!"
Yinaro was quick to correct him."Her.Riyo is female."
"I don't care!I'm Lizzie's older brother and neither of us are related to Riyo!"
"Whichever of you recieved the Gem of Yin from a boy in your dreams is Riyo's decendant."Yinaro uncrossed her arms and smiled sweetly."Kazuo claims to have given it to a girl.Your sister.Lizzie is Riyo or her decendant."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lizzie:Me went brain dead again.
Ash:I think Yinaro likes Kumane.....
Yinaro:I do not!
Hiei:Stop fighting!
Kazuo:Please send any questions or suggestions or anything ya want!Have a cracker jack day!
Yinaro:I worry about you,Kazuo.
Hiei:I suppose that's good?
Kurama:Of course it's good!That means she can write more!
Hiei:Oh the torture......
Ash:Calm down,for heaven's sake,it's not that bad!I know her ideas.
