the next morning...
hiei awoke from his sleep, and there kurama was, watching him sleep.
"youko, how'd you get in here?" hiei rubbed his eyes
"forgot to lock your door." kurama just said
"anyway...i'm fully awakened. what do you want?"
"i have something to tell you...i thought i should tell you as soon as
possible." kurama said.
"what is it?"
"...hiei. do you know what happened on this day?" kurama asked him
hiei thought for a moment.
"today is august 17th..." hiei thought to himself. "ah...i remember. 15
years ago, the human and the spirit war took place." hiei figured.
"thats right...hiei...don't expect this to be the best news you've ever
heard...hiei let me ask you another question...who was the heir
of the youkai shring keeper?" kurama asked him
hiei snarled. "i was."
"i know you dont like it when i talk about this issue...but you must face
the truth...it was YOU." kurama pointed out
hiei gritted his teeth and spoke in between his fangs. "not anymore," hiei
shot back
"face the truth hiei" kurama argued
"the keeper is dead." hiei coldly responded
"but is the heir?"
"i do not consider myself as the heir" hiei raised his voice slightly
"accept it hiei. you are the heir. dont run from it anymore."
"THATS NOT WHO I AM ANYMORE!" hiei shouted.
it was silent for a minute.
"but what does it matter? that was my past. what matters is now." hiei
broke the silence.
"hiei...15 years ago, a prophecy was written...do you know what it said?"
kurama asked again
"yes...i memorized it.."
"repeat it for me, will you?" kurama requested
hiei sighed in annoyance.
"the heir of the youkai shrine keeper shall end the monarchy of the heir of
the ningen shrine keeper if their paths shall ever cross.
one of the pair shall die, either by the hands of the heir of the youkai
itself, or just by a slow and painful death.." hiei stated.
"now tell me what that means, hiei." Kurama secondly requested.
"it means that if we ever meet, i will kill the heir of the human shrine
keeper. if we break this prophecy, one of us will be put to a painful
death.
one of us will die, either by my own hands i will end up killing myself, or
i myself will kill the heir of the ningen shrine keeper." hiei explained
"thats right..."kurama agreed
"and thats the reason why i came to the dark tournament...because the human
heir will be there, and when i sense their power, i will kill them."hiei
said
"hiei...do you know exactly who is the heir?"
"no...all i know is that she is my age and a female."
"Hiei i want you to think for a moment...this war was 15 years ago, almost
your entire life. which ningen have you known your entire life?"
"...i've known pan and her family pan my entire life.."
"thats correct...therefore, hiei...if the heir is someone who you've known
for as long as over 15 years..."
hiei's eyes shot open and everything just blanked out of his mind.
it was silent for a bit.
"the heir..." kurama said in a deadly calm voice
"is...Pan." hiei finished, still astonished.
hiei awoke from his sleep, and there kurama was, watching him sleep.
