Lizzie:Okay,brainstrommy!!
Yinaro:Yeah....Su~ure.....*turns to Kate*She didn't take her medication today,did she?
Kate:Nope.....I'm goin' to play my game now......*turns on GameCube*Hmmm.....I think I'll play...*picks up Tigger's Treasure Hunt and begins to play*
Yinaro:*turns to Botan*She didn't take her mediacation either,did she?
Botan:Apparently not....
Yinaro:Hikage Kitsune,do you reply to every chapter or something?Sorry about it being confusing,that's how Lizzie writes.Confusingly!If someone doesn't understand something,send it in a reply and we will explain it.
Disclaimer:The following are what I DO own:Lizzie,Kate,Kumane,Kazuo,Yinaro,Ash,Riyo,Sento.That ends what I own in this chappy.
____________________________________________
Lizzie turned over in Hiei's lap.She sighed then began sleep-talking.((Something I do all the time))"I am the decendant of Riyo......My mother was also......I am the grand-daughter of Riyo......"She yawned,stretched,woke up,and sat up."That was refreshing!"She stretched her arms out as wide as they could stretch.Hiei touched her hand gently.
"Liz,is there something you neglected to tell me?"Kumane was frustrated with his baby sister.She looked up at him,looked at Ash for support,and,after recieving none,looked back at Kumane.
"I slept-talked again didn't I?What did I say?"She looked at Kazuo."Holy!I remember you from my dream!You're the one that gave me the Gem of Yin!"
Kazuo nodded."And you gave me the Gem of Yang."
Lizzie blushed."And I accidentally screamed in your ear......"She then looked confused."Woah,woah,woah!Rewind!You had the same dream?"
"No,I got into your mind while you were asleep.It all happened in the form of a dream,but we were transferring information via minds.It's a complex concept."
"Nah,I get it."She smiled,she had yet to notice Hiei had touched her hand."But....."She looked at Yinaro."Shouldn't she have the Gem of Yin?She is the decendant....."
Yinaro smiled and shook her head.Her long white-grey hair was gracefully and deftly floppng around her head."No,no,no!Riyo's gem hasn't been able to be located,so I want you to use Yin.You can revive your brother."She smiled again.Lizzie's eyes got wide.
"But....but.....but....."She couldn't think of an arguement."It'sss.........Ah damn!I can't think of a reason!"She fell over backwards in frustration.Kumane went outside for a moment then came back in with a peice of paper in his hand.
"Hey,Liz,I think it's from Ray-Ray."He handed the letter to Lizzie.She sat up giggling.
"Yep!This would be from Ray-Ray!I would recognize her writing anywhere!"Her writing was really bad and bubbly."Should I open it?"Kumane nodded and she opened the letter."It says:Dear Lizzie,and Kum"She giggled"Ha!She was gonna write it to both of us!"
"Read it,Liz."
"It says:Dear Lizzie and Kum, What's up?I decided not to scratch out where sarted writing Kumane.I though you might like to see that your not the only one who misses him...
"What have you been upto?Got your e-mail.I can't believe it!!!Mom said I should write you a letter instead of e-mail you.As of now,damn her!Anywaysies,I was wondering if you would like to come stay for a while.Like a week or something?
"It's been super dull here.Wish I coulda seen you and him!!If you do come down,ask him to come to!I want to meet him."Kumane rolled his eyes.
"You told her?"Lizzie continued as if Kumane hadn't said anything.
"Okay,little sis wants to write some.Ta ta for me!Rachie.
"Hey Lizzie! We,of course,have our summer reading to do.One of the books,I know you'd love.It's an Agatha Christie.And Then There Were None.S'awesome!
"I read your e-mail,too.You know me!Always sneaking in Rachie's business!Anyway,do ask him!Pleasies?
"This is Catilin,signing off!"She smiled."They haven't changed!"
"Liz,ya gonna go?"Kumane smiled at Lizzie.
Lizzie looked from Kumane to Yinaro.Yinaro smiled and nodded.Lizzie looked back to Kumane."Only if you come.I'll use the Gem.Yinaro wants me to."
"How do you use it,though?"Ash looked at Yinaro."I mean,you are like the only one who knows how to work it now."Yinaro nodded.
"Whomever is going to make the wish has to have a pure,good soul.That'll be easy for her since she's Riyo's decendant.But,she also has to give up something in return.Don't worry,it's not her life unless that's what she wants to give it up.She gets to choose from 3 things:giving up her life,giving up her ability to love,or......."She looked down at the ground not wanting to say the last thing.It was far worse then gving up her life and becoming a ghost.Kazuo suddednly spoke.
"Wait,I think you're getting Yin adn Yang mixed up!I remember that 1 of the choices for Yin is do some kind of silly ritual,it's just meant to embarrass you."Yinaro looked at him.
"No,that's Riyo's gem.....I studied and was tested on all of these....You just learned the rtuals,not the Gems they matched upto...."She wiped her eyes on the back of her hand."The last choice is to gve youre life but not be a Spirit or ever be able to be brought back to life.....The more sacrificing the payment,the better the chance your wish will be exactly what you want.None of these are that great."Kumane looked at Lizzie gently and understandingly.
"You don't have to do it,Linnie.You know that,right?"Lizzie nodded,but she wouldn't let anyone see her face.
She was crying.For once in her life,she couldn't make everyone happy.She would either have to die and be a ghost and they'd never see her again,die and not turn into a ghost and not even get to see them again,or give up her love for Hiei.She didn't want to do any of them.She looked up at Hiei,asking what she should do.Hiei smiled.
"Lizzie,it's up to you....."He grabbed both her hands in his.He was looking her straight in the eyes.He didn't want ehr to do any of them either,but he knew she wanted her brother to live again.'I won't stand in her way.If she wants to......WAIT!!She doesn't have to!I'll do it!She can live,and she can have her brother.'He grasped her hands tighter."Lizzie,I know a way you can have your brother back and not have to give anything up.I'll pay for your wish."Yinaro frowned.
"There's one problem.......Your soul isn't Yin,nor is it Yang.......The only Gem you could use is Riyo's Gem.That one is technically the best Gem to use....."She looked upset."Sorry.You might be able to use the Gem of Yang,I'm not completely sure....."Ash,Yusuke,Kuwabara,and Yukina had already fallen asleep.
"There has to be some way,though....."Hiei was determined to help Lizzie.Lizzie was starng at the Gem of Yin.
"How do I make the wish?"Yinaro and Hiei jumped at the harsh note in Lizzie's voice.
"You stand still wearing something that means the world to you,touching nothing;you close your eyes;hold the Gem close to your heart;and say the magic enchantment."
"What's the magic enchantment?"
"Cama yano hada yonaya tohan acha shiniyo tie towaya.......Why do you ask?"
Lizzie stood up and walked to the center of the room so that she wasn't touching anyone else.She closed her eyes and levtated off the ground,her locket was floating up in the air in front of her.She held the Gem close to her heart."Cama yano hada yonaya tohan acha shiniyo tie towaya."Her voce was soft and high.The words echoed around the room and you could almost see them.
The words moved towards Kumane.They surrounded him in a blaze of light.The light died away and Kumane was standing there,bewildered.He was different.His hair and eyes still matched in color,but he was older.He was 24 instead of 17.
Lizzie fell to the ground with a soft thump.She stood up and went outside wthout looking at anyone or anything.
"I think I better go check on Linnie."Kumane started to the door,but was held back by Yinaro and Kazuo.
"She is no longer your baby sister.She is now Riyo's decendant.She wanted to die and not turn into a ghost so that no one would try to revive her.But she is Lizzie and Riyo's decendant.The Lizzie part of her died away,but is still locked up inside of Cazador somewhere....We can get her out,but it won't be easy....."Kazuo shook his head.
"I think for once I know more than you,Yinaro.She gave up her love.Not her life.She wanted Hiei to be able to see her even if she couldn't love him.She wanted to get as close to making everyone happy as she could get.If anyone goes to talk to her,it should be Hiei."Kazuo looked at him."Ya wanna?"Hiei nodded and stood up.
"She really does love me......"He went outside.
___________________________________
Outside..........((Lizzie's POV))
I was sitting on the swing again.I heard something by the door.Someone had come outside.I looked forward,hoping they would leave me alone.
"Lizzie?Do you mind if I sit with you?"It was Hiei!Oh!I still felt connected to him even though I gave up my ability to love him!I really wanted him to sit wth me,but when spoke,it wasn't what I wanted to say.
"I guess.Since there's no law against it."This wasn't me.I tried to say that,but it came out wrong too."Why'd you come outside?To piss me?"He sat down next to me.I don't think he cared what I said.....He still loved me,even though I just practically said I hated him!He is the best!!
"Lizzie,I know what you did."I looked up at him confused.He just smiled."You gave up your ability to love me so that I could still see you.Even if you couldn't love me,you knew I'd still love you.Thank you."Hiei held my hand in his.I looked at him.The thing is I do love you Hiei.I really do!I wanted to say that so bad!When I tried,it came out all all wrong!
"What do you mean?!I never liked you!"I yanked my hand out of his."I've always thought of you as a tiny little idiot!You're such a dunce!"I stood up and went to the edge of the porch and leaned over the railing.I stared up at the stars and tears began rolling down my cheeks.
Hiei sighed behind me."I still love you,Lizzie.There's no changing that."He paused for a little while."Are you going to visit your cousin?"I nodded.I wanted to see Ray-Ray and tell her about all of this.I closed my eyes.thinking.I suddenly heard a voice in my head.It sounded like me,a sullen version of me.
~'You still love him,don't you?'~
~'Yeah.I don't know how it's possible.'~
~'Because I'm here.I'm the part of you that is Riyo's decendant.My name is Cazador.It means hunter.Riyo named me that.It's my fault that whenever you talk to Hiei,you sound like you hate him.Sorry.'~
~'Not your fault.Mine.I shoulda just chosen to die,then-'~
~'No!Hiei will always love you!There may be a way for you to still show that you love him!Just let me dig through my mind.It's been so long since I last used it,it's full of cobwebs!'~
~'Haha!That sounds like Yusuke!'~The voice stopped talking,but Hiei began to.
"Lizzie,I will always love you.I guess I'll leave you be now...."He got up to go inside.Suddenly, felt a wave of warmth flood through me.Just like in 'Burning Heart of Ice',my heart turned from ice to fire.I turned around,ran at Hiei,and grabbed onto him.
"No!Stay!I want to be with you!"I felt the tears running down my cheeks.I opened my eyes a little and saw that my tears were deep blue.I grabbed onto him tighter."Hiei,I love you!I always will!Always!"He put hs hand on the back of my head.
"Shhh.....It's okay,Lizzie.I'm here.I'll always be here for you."He rested his chin on my head."Shhh.....Calm down.Calm down....."He picked me up and sat down on the swing.He held me in his lap and began swinging slowly."A burning heart of ice will never melt away.The coldness of the blood will keep it that way.She will turn her heart to fire,if the wish is her own.This is not the life from her dream.It will be a life that is more clean...."His voice was soft and low.
He rocked me gently,back and forth.I was moving 2 ways.It felt comforting,swinging from side to side,at least my sides, and was rocking forward and backward.I snuggled close to him.He felt comofrting.His shirt was soft and he smelled like ginger.I loved the smell of ginger.I slipped my hand under his and he tickled my neck.I felt a smile tugging at my lips.I didn't give in to it.
~'I found a way!Though I'm not quite sure how I found it or what I did.....'~
~'Thank you,Cazador.Thank you so much!'~
"Lizzie?"He looked down at me seriously.
"Yeah?"I grasped his hand and looked up at him.
"When are you going to visit your cousin?"He sounded upset about it.
"Ummm.....Whenever Ray-Ray wants me to come."I blinked for a minute,confused.Then it dawned me.Hiei was going to miss me!He wanted to know how much time he had left with me until I went to visit Rachie."Hiei,you wanna come?Rachie said that she wanted me to invite him.She meant you.I told her about that day before I hit my head on the rock.She thought it was sweet."
Hiei's eyes got wide and he stared at me."What?She-you-I'm not following......"He blinked.
"Hiei,do you want to come visit Rachel with me?"He nodded.
"I would like that.If you don't mind and if she doesn't....."I sat up and slid out of his lap.
"Hiei"I leaned my head on his shoulder."I love you.Yinaro and Kazuo did tell you about Riyo's past,didn't they?"
"No,they didn't.What about it?"Hiei grasped my hand gently.He looked really confused,kinda like how Kuwabara and Yusuke look most of the time.
"Well,Riyo was an Ice Apparition and a Wolf Youkai.But there was something else about her.Her hair changed colors depending on whether she was being good or evil.She had 2 souls,a Soul of Light and a Soul of Darkness.When she was misbehaving,her hair would be dark purple.If she was behaving spectacularly,her hair was white-grey."I looked at him."Confusing,huh?"He nodded.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because when I was being so rude,that was the part of me that s Riyo's decendant.Her name is Cazador.If you don't understand it,don't ask me to explain it.I don't understand it either."I broke my gaze from his eyes.He grasped my hand even tighter.
"I love you,Lizze.I would never try to make you do something that you can't do."He drew my hand up to shoulder level and kissed it."I really do.You know that,right?"I nodded,but continued to stare at the moon.I was thinking about being down with Rachel and Catilin.
"I wonder if what Catilin said wad true....."I didn't mean to say that aloud.I was thinkng aloud.
"What?"He was massaging my hand."Are you thinkng aloud?"I looked at the moon,unblinkingly.
"Yeah.I tend to do that too.....I was thinking about what my cousin told me."I stood up so that Hiei let go of my hand."I need to tell her.I bet Genkai has a computer....."I went inside to see if she did.
((Hiei's POV))
She went inside and closed the door after her.I stood up and went to the railing.I wanted to kss her again.I just wanted to so badly.....I wouldn't though,no matter what I had to restrain myself.
"Am I so wrong for wanting it?"I wasn't talking to anyone,just myself.I leaned on the rail.The moon looked beautiful.No wonder Lizzie stared at it so often.
"Well,it all depends on what you're wanting,doesn't it?"The voice was soft and low.It was also mocking and famliar.I turned around to see who it was.Of course,it was the only one who could sneak up on me.Kurama."Hello,Hiei!"He came over to me smiling.
"What do you want,Kitsune?"I looked away from him,I wasn't in the mood for hs sarcasm.
"I was going to ask you the same thing.What do you want that you aren't sure about?"
"I.....I.....I'll tell you in a mind link....."He smiled and put a hand on my shoulder.
~'Well?'~
~'I....want....to.....I want to kiss her!'~
~'You what?'~Kurama was about to laugh,I could tell.
"What's funny about that?"I had closed the mind link.
"Nothing!Did I say anything was funny?"
"You are about to laugh!I know you well,Kitsune!"I glared at him and he gave in.
"Alright,alright!I was gong to laugh but I'm not anymore.It is sweet that you want that."He put his hand on my shoulder again."If Lizzie knew,she would be flattered.I'll leave you to your thoughts."He returned inside and left me alone.
I stared at the moon again.It was so beautiful,just like Lizzie."Why do I feel like this?Why can't get her out of my mind?"
"If you cannot get someone from your mind,then you are in true love.Very true love."The voice was so soft and high.It was her.Lizzie....She was listening.....I turned around and looked at her.
"Hello,Lizzie."She smiled and her eyes flashed mischeviously.
"What can you not get from your mind?"She came over and leaned on the railing next to me as she said this.
"Nothing......."I looked away from her.Right now,I felt unsure about everything.
"Hiei,you need not lie to me.....You know that."I looked at Lizzie and her eyes flashed again."However,it is your privacy and I respect that."She leaned on my shoulder.I put my arm around her shoulder."Hiei,please."
"Please what?"Her skin felt so soft.
"Please never lie to me again.If you don't want to tell me the truth,just tell me so.I hate it when you lie......"She squirmed a little.
"Did you send the message to your cousin?"She nodded.I felt her shiver so I picked my scarf up off of the swing and put it around her.
"Thank you."She squirmed again. realised that she was inching closer to me."You'll like it where my cousn lives."
_______________________________________________
Lizzie:I know I ended this kinda suddenly.
Yinaro:Just like in Johnny Tremain!The last sentence is:"Where a man can stand up....."
Kazuo:I don't think that's what she meant.I think she means more of in The Red Pony."I'll go get the lemonade squeezer."
Lizzie:Shuddap!!*thwacks them on the head with a baseball bat*
Kate:She's sugar-high......
Senko:Yup.
Genkai:R&R.Have a nice day.....Not.....
Lizzie:It's please R&R.
Yinaro:Yeah....Su~ure.....*turns to Kate*She didn't take her medication today,did she?
Kate:Nope.....I'm goin' to play my game now......*turns on GameCube*Hmmm.....I think I'll play...*picks up Tigger's Treasure Hunt and begins to play*
Yinaro:*turns to Botan*She didn't take her mediacation either,did she?
Botan:Apparently not....
Yinaro:Hikage Kitsune,do you reply to every chapter or something?Sorry about it being confusing,that's how Lizzie writes.Confusingly!If someone doesn't understand something,send it in a reply and we will explain it.
Disclaimer:The following are what I DO own:Lizzie,Kate,Kumane,Kazuo,Yinaro,Ash,Riyo,Sento.That ends what I own in this chappy.
____________________________________________
Lizzie turned over in Hiei's lap.She sighed then began sleep-talking.((Something I do all the time))"I am the decendant of Riyo......My mother was also......I am the grand-daughter of Riyo......"She yawned,stretched,woke up,and sat up."That was refreshing!"She stretched her arms out as wide as they could stretch.Hiei touched her hand gently.
"Liz,is there something you neglected to tell me?"Kumane was frustrated with his baby sister.She looked up at him,looked at Ash for support,and,after recieving none,looked back at Kumane.
"I slept-talked again didn't I?What did I say?"She looked at Kazuo."Holy!I remember you from my dream!You're the one that gave me the Gem of Yin!"
Kazuo nodded."And you gave me the Gem of Yang."
Lizzie blushed."And I accidentally screamed in your ear......"She then looked confused."Woah,woah,woah!Rewind!You had the same dream?"
"No,I got into your mind while you were asleep.It all happened in the form of a dream,but we were transferring information via minds.It's a complex concept."
"Nah,I get it."She smiled,she had yet to notice Hiei had touched her hand."But....."She looked at Yinaro."Shouldn't she have the Gem of Yin?She is the decendant....."
Yinaro smiled and shook her head.Her long white-grey hair was gracefully and deftly floppng around her head."No,no,no!Riyo's gem hasn't been able to be located,so I want you to use Yin.You can revive your brother."She smiled again.Lizzie's eyes got wide.
"But....but.....but....."She couldn't think of an arguement."It'sss.........Ah damn!I can't think of a reason!"She fell over backwards in frustration.Kumane went outside for a moment then came back in with a peice of paper in his hand.
"Hey,Liz,I think it's from Ray-Ray."He handed the letter to Lizzie.She sat up giggling.
"Yep!This would be from Ray-Ray!I would recognize her writing anywhere!"Her writing was really bad and bubbly."Should I open it?"Kumane nodded and she opened the letter."It says:Dear Lizzie,and Kum"She giggled"Ha!She was gonna write it to both of us!"
"Read it,Liz."
"It says:Dear Lizzie and Kum, What's up?I decided not to scratch out where sarted writing Kumane.I though you might like to see that your not the only one who misses him...
"What have you been upto?Got your e-mail.I can't believe it!!!Mom said I should write you a letter instead of e-mail you.As of now,damn her!Anywaysies,I was wondering if you would like to come stay for a while.Like a week or something?
"It's been super dull here.Wish I coulda seen you and him!!If you do come down,ask him to come to!I want to meet him."Kumane rolled his eyes.
"You told her?"Lizzie continued as if Kumane hadn't said anything.
"Okay,little sis wants to write some.Ta ta for me!Rachie.
"Hey Lizzie! We,of course,have our summer reading to do.One of the books,I know you'd love.It's an Agatha Christie.And Then There Were None.S'awesome!
"I read your e-mail,too.You know me!Always sneaking in Rachie's business!Anyway,do ask him!Pleasies?
"This is Catilin,signing off!"She smiled."They haven't changed!"
"Liz,ya gonna go?"Kumane smiled at Lizzie.
Lizzie looked from Kumane to Yinaro.Yinaro smiled and nodded.Lizzie looked back to Kumane."Only if you come.I'll use the Gem.Yinaro wants me to."
"How do you use it,though?"Ash looked at Yinaro."I mean,you are like the only one who knows how to work it now."Yinaro nodded.
"Whomever is going to make the wish has to have a pure,good soul.That'll be easy for her since she's Riyo's decendant.But,she also has to give up something in return.Don't worry,it's not her life unless that's what she wants to give it up.She gets to choose from 3 things:giving up her life,giving up her ability to love,or......."She looked down at the ground not wanting to say the last thing.It was far worse then gving up her life and becoming a ghost.Kazuo suddednly spoke.

"You don't have to do it,Linnie.You know that,right?"Lizzie nodded,but she wouldn't let anyone see her face.
She was crying.For once in her life,she couldn't make everyone happy.She would either have to die and be a ghost and they'd never see her again,die and not turn into a ghost and not even get to see them again,or give up her love for Hiei.She didn't want to do any of them.She looked up at Hiei,asking what she should do.Hiei smiled.
"Lizzie,it's up to you....."He grabbed both her hands in his.He was looking her straight in the eyes.He didn't want ehr to do any of them either,but he knew she wanted her brother to live again.'I won't stand in her way.If she wants to......WAIT!!She doesn't have to!I'll do it!She can live,and she can have her brother.'He grasped her hands tighter."Lizzie,I know a way you can have your brother back and not have to give anything up.I'll pay for your wish."Yinaro frowned.
"There's one problem.......Your soul isn't Yin,nor is it Yang.......The only Gem you could use is Riyo's Gem.That one is technically the best Gem to use....."She looked upset."Sorry.You might be able to use the Gem of Yang,I'm not completely sure....."Ash,Yusuke,Kuwabara,and Yukina had already fallen asleep.
"There has to be some way,though....."Hiei was determined to help Lizzie.Lizzie was starng at the Gem of Yin.
"How do I make the wish?"Yinaro and Hiei jumped at the harsh note in Lizzie's voice.
"You stand still wearing something that means the world to you,touching nothing;you close your eyes;hold the Gem close to your heart;and say the magic enchantment."
"What's the magic enchantment?"
"Cama yano hada yonaya tohan acha shiniyo tie towaya.......Why do you ask?"
Lizzie stood up and walked to the center of the room so that she wasn't touching anyone else.She closed her eyes and levtated off the ground,her locket was floating up in the air in front of her.She held the Gem close to her heart."Cama yano hada yonaya tohan acha shiniyo tie towaya."Her voce was soft and high.The words echoed around the room and you could almost see them.
The words moved towards Kumane.They surrounded him in a blaze of light.The light died away and Kumane was standing there,bewildered.He was different.His hair and eyes still matched in color,but he was older.He was 24 instead of 17.
Lizzie fell to the ground with a soft thump.She stood up and went outside wthout looking at anyone or anything.
"I think I better go check on Linnie."Kumane started to the door,but was held back by Yinaro and Kazuo.
"She is no longer your baby sister.She is now Riyo's decendant.She wanted to die and not turn into a ghost so that no one would try to revive her.But she is Lizzie and Riyo's decendant.The Lizzie part of her died away,but is still locked up inside of Cazador somewhere....We can get her out,but it won't be easy....."Kazuo shook his head.
"I think for once I know more than you,Yinaro.She gave up her love.Not her life.She wanted Hiei to be able to see her even if she couldn't love him.She wanted to get as close to making everyone happy as she could get.If anyone goes to talk to her,it should be Hiei."Kazuo looked at him."Ya wanna?"Hiei nodded and stood up.
"She really does love me......"He went outside.
___________________________________
Outside..........((Lizzie's POV))
I was sitting on the swing again.I heard something by the door.Someone had come outside.I looked forward,hoping they would leave me alone.
"Lizzie?Do you mind if I sit with you?"It was Hiei!Oh!I still felt connected to him even though I gave up my ability to love him!I really wanted him to sit wth me,but when spoke,it wasn't what I wanted to say.
"I guess.Since there's no law against it."This wasn't me.I tried to say that,but it came out wrong too."Why'd you come outside?To piss me?"He sat down next to me.I don't think he cared what I said.....He still loved me,even though I just practically said I hated him!He is the best!!
"Lizzie,I know what you did."I looked up at him confused.He just smiled."You gave up your ability to love me so that I could still see you.Even if you couldn't love me,you knew I'd still love you.Thank you."Hiei held my hand in his.I looked at him.The thing is I do love you Hiei.I really do!I wanted to say that so bad!When I tried,it came out all all wrong!
"What do you mean?!I never liked you!"I yanked my hand out of his."I've always thought of you as a tiny little idiot!You're such a dunce!"I stood up and went to the edge of the porch and leaned over the railing.I stared up at the stars and tears began rolling down my cheeks.
Hiei sighed behind me."I still love you,Lizzie.There's no changing that."He paused for a little while."Are you going to visit your cousin?"I nodded.I wanted to see Ray-Ray and tell her about all of this.I closed my eyes.thinking.I suddenly heard a voice in my head.It sounded like me,a sullen version of me.
~'You still love him,don't you?'~
~'Yeah.I don't know how it's possible.'~
~'Because I'm here.I'm the part of you that is Riyo's decendant.My name is Cazador.It means hunter.Riyo named me that.It's my fault that whenever you talk to Hiei,you sound like you hate him.Sorry.'~
~'Not your fault.Mine.I shoulda just chosen to die,then-'~
~'No!Hiei will always love you!There may be a way for you to still show that you love him!Just let me dig through my mind.It's been so long since I last used it,it's full of cobwebs!'~
~'Haha!That sounds like Yusuke!'~The voice stopped talking,but Hiei began to.
"Lizzie,I will always love you.I guess I'll leave you be now...."He got up to go inside.Suddenly, felt a wave of warmth flood through me.Just like in 'Burning Heart of Ice',my heart turned from ice to fire.I turned around,ran at Hiei,and grabbed onto him.
"No!Stay!I want to be with you!"I felt the tears running down my cheeks.I opened my eyes a little and saw that my tears were deep blue.I grabbed onto him tighter."Hiei,I love you!I always will!Always!"He put hs hand on the back of my head.
"Shhh.....It's okay,Lizzie.I'm here.I'll always be here for you."He rested his chin on my head."Shhh.....Calm down.Calm down....."He picked me up and sat down on the swing.He held me in his lap and began swinging slowly."A burning heart of ice will never melt away.The coldness of the blood will keep it that way.She will turn her heart to fire,if the wish is her own.This is not the life from her dream.It will be a life that is more clean...."His voice was soft and low.
He rocked me gently,back and forth.I was moving 2 ways.It felt comforting,swinging from side to side,at least my sides, and was rocking forward and backward.I snuggled close to him.He felt comofrting.His shirt was soft and he smelled like ginger.I loved the smell of ginger.I slipped my hand under his and he tickled my neck.I felt a smile tugging at my lips.I didn't give in to it.
~'I found a way!Though I'm not quite sure how I found it or what I did.....'~
~'Thank you,Cazador.Thank you so much!'~
"Lizzie?"He looked down at me seriously.
"Yeah?"I grasped his hand and looked up at him.
"When are you going to visit your cousin?"He sounded upset about it.
"Ummm.....Whenever Ray-Ray wants me to come."I blinked for a minute,confused.Then it dawned me.Hiei was going to miss me!He wanted to know how much time he had left with me until I went to visit Rachie."Hiei,you wanna come?Rachie said that she wanted me to invite him.She meant you.I told her about that day before I hit my head on the rock.She thought it was sweet."
Hiei's eyes got wide and he stared at me."What?She-you-I'm not following......"He blinked.
"Hiei,do you want to come visit Rachel with me?"He nodded.
"I would like that.If you don't mind and if she doesn't....."I sat up and slid out of his lap.
"Hiei"I leaned my head on his shoulder."I love you.Yinaro and Kazuo did tell you about Riyo's past,didn't they?"
"No,they didn't.What about it?"Hiei grasped my hand gently.He looked really confused,kinda like how Kuwabara and Yusuke look most of the time.
"Well,Riyo was an Ice Apparition and a Wolf Youkai.But there was something else about her.Her hair changed colors depending on whether she was being good or evil.She had 2 souls,a Soul of Light and a Soul of Darkness.When she was misbehaving,her hair would be dark purple.If she was behaving spectacularly,her hair was white-grey."I looked at him."Confusing,huh?"He nodded.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because when I was being so rude,that was the part of me that s Riyo's decendant.Her name is Cazador.If you don't understand it,don't ask me to explain it.I don't understand it either."I broke my gaze from his eyes.He grasped my hand even tighter.
"I love you,Lizze.I would never try to make you do something that you can't do."He drew my hand up to shoulder level and kissed it."I really do.You know that,right?"I nodded,but continued to stare at the moon.I was thinking about being down with Rachel and Catilin.
"I wonder if what Catilin said wad true....."I didn't mean to say that aloud.I was thinkng aloud.
"What?"He was massaging my hand."Are you thinkng aloud?"I looked at the moon,unblinkingly.
"Yeah.I tend to do that too.....I was thinking about what my cousin told me."I stood up so that Hiei let go of my hand."I need to tell her.I bet Genkai has a computer....."I went inside to see if she did.
((Hiei's POV))
She went inside and closed the door after her.I stood up and went to the railing.I wanted to kss her again.I just wanted to so badly.....I wouldn't though,no matter what I had to restrain myself.
"Am I so wrong for wanting it?"I wasn't talking to anyone,just myself.I leaned on the rail.The moon looked beautiful.No wonder Lizzie stared at it so often.
"Well,it all depends on what you're wanting,doesn't it?"The voice was soft and low.It was also mocking and famliar.I turned around to see who it was.Of course,it was the only one who could sneak up on me.Kurama."Hello,Hiei!"He came over to me smiling.
"What do you want,Kitsune?"I looked away from him,I wasn't in the mood for hs sarcasm.
"I was going to ask you the same thing.What do you want that you aren't sure about?"
"I.....I.....I'll tell you in a mind link....."He smiled and put a hand on my shoulder.
~'Well?'~
~'I....want....to.....I want to kiss her!'~
~'You what?'~Kurama was about to laugh,I could tell.
"What's funny about that?"I had closed the mind link.
"Nothing!Did I say anything was funny?"
"You are about to laugh!I know you well,Kitsune!"I glared at him and he gave in.
"Alright,alright!I was gong to laugh but I'm not anymore.It is sweet that you want that."He put his hand on my shoulder again."If Lizzie knew,she would be flattered.I'll leave you to your thoughts."He returned inside and left me alone.
I stared at the moon again.It was so beautiful,just like Lizzie."Why do I feel like this?Why can't get her out of my mind?"
"If you cannot get someone from your mind,then you are in true love.Very true love."The voice was so soft and high.It was her.Lizzie....She was listening.....I turned around and looked at her.
"Hello,Lizzie."She smiled and her eyes flashed mischeviously.
"What can you not get from your mind?"She came over and leaned on the railing next to me as she said this.
"Nothing......."I looked away from her.Right now,I felt unsure about everything.
"Hiei,you need not lie to me.....You know that."I looked at Lizzie and her eyes flashed again."However,it is your privacy and I respect that."She leaned on my shoulder.I put my arm around her shoulder."Hiei,please."
"Please what?"Her skin felt so soft.
"Please never lie to me again.If you don't want to tell me the truth,just tell me so.I hate it when you lie......"She squirmed a little.
"Did you send the message to your cousin?"She nodded.I felt her shiver so I picked my scarf up off of the swing and put it around her.
"Thank you."She squirmed again. realised that she was inching closer to me."You'll like it where my cousn lives."
