A Lover's Destiny

Chapter 6- The Biggest Loss of Their Life

He instantly took out his sword.

Juri watched the match closely. "Oh...and LOOK at Hiei go! I think....wait...what was his name again? Oh....who cares. Look at him dodge! But Hiei is still WAAAAYY faster!" she yelled.

Hiei finally caught up to the guy and tried to slice him in half. Hikari just watched.

Koto watched intently.

"Oh...so close Hiei. But no cigar." she said.

Hiei finally cut the guy in half. Hikari smirked. "Easy...." Hiei said.

Juri watched...then started to count. "One...two...wait. Never mind. Seeing as how the opponent is cut in half, HIEI WINS!" she said raising his arm.

Hikari stood as it was her time to fight. She didn't care if Juri said anything about her being pregnant... she just didn't care anymore...

Hiei took his arm back and walked off the ring.

Juri walked over to her. She didn't think it appropriate to say anything out loud. "So you're fighting for team Urameshi am I right?" she asked.

Hikari nodded. "Yes I am fighting for team Urameshi*

Juri shrugged. "Ok then folks! It's the final match of the tournament! It's the time we've ALL been waiting for! Hikari against team Tsunaku's Marsako! Let the match begin!"

Hikari jumped onto the ring and glared at Marsako. Or whatever the heck his name was.

Marsako glared back then got into a fighter's stance.

Hikari got into a fighter's stance also. She had her hand on the hilt of her sword.

Marsako took the first move, charging at full speed toward her, then doing the after image technique.

Hikari easily looked around and ran at the real him. She took out her sword and ran after Marsako. She vanished and then reappeared behind the real one's head, the sword two inches from his head.

And coming closer.

He was too fast and dodged that coming up behind her.

Hikari fell to the ground, not expecting him to dodge her.

He got in front of her and went for a punch to her stomach.

Hikari didn't block in time and got punched right in the stomach. Hiei's eyes widened, watching. Hikari gasped in pain but then punched Marsako in the chest very very hard.

Yukina screamed tears in her eyes. "HIKARI!!!!"

Hikari held her stomach. It was hurting like Hell now. She punched Marsako repeatedly in the chest.

Yukina ran over to Hiei and grabbed on his arm. "Hiei..." she said tears streaming down her face.

Hiei was shaking almost in fear. "Just... l-let her f-fight..." he mumbled watching Hikari.

Hikari went to stab Marsako in the chest with her sword.

Yukina shrank to the ground. "Even if she does make it through the fight, I'm not sure the baby will. It may be small but still..." she said her head tilted toward the ground.

Hiei was shaking with fear now.

Kuwabara just watched the fight. He wondered if Yusuke or Kurama would say anything...

Masako was dead. The sword had gone totally through his heart. "The winner of this years Dark tournament is...TEAM URAMESHI!" Koto said. The whole stadium boomed with shouts against the team.

Kurama and Yusuke weren't even listening...they were nearly as scared as Hiei but not quite.

Hikari fell to her knees. Holding her stomach.

Yukina ran to the ring. She was still crying.

Hiei ran to the ring also.

Immediately she laid her hands upon Hikari. She wasn't even looking. Her eyes were so filled with tears. "Hikari...I'll do...everything I can." she said quietly. Then she glanced at Hiei.

Hiei bent down by Hikari. "E-everything will be f-f-fine..." he was trying to get Hikari, Yukina and himself to believe that.

Hikari groaned in pain. "It... hu...rts... so... mu...ch...." she mumbled.

Everyone else gathered around. They tried to make Hiei feel better, Yukina too. But mostly they were helping Hikari.

Hikari just bit her lip so she wouldn't cry. "If... it... dies... it's.... all... my... fa...ult...." Hikari mumbled. Hiei stroked Hikari's hair trying to make her feel better. Hiei totally forgot they were still in the ring and probably every demon was watching.

Kurama kneeled down next to her. "No it's not. It's Masako's." Then he turned to Hiei. "Hiei, I think we should get her out of here." he said and he looked around. Everyone in the stadium was staring.

Hiei nodded. He slowly picked up Hikari into his arms and stood. He started to walk off of the ring.

Hikari had her eyes shut. Oh did she know Koto or Juri was probably going to say something.

But neither of them did. They didn't know what to say.

Hikari slowly cuddled to Hiei. Hiei walked out of the arena slowly, trying to move to fast where he might hurt Hikari.

Kurama walked beside them. "Hiei. In the human world, there is a place called a hospital. I think we should go back and take her there. They could take good care of her." he suggested. "The tournament is over."

Hiei shook his head. "I know what a hospital is but won't they find out she is demon?" Hiei asked.

"I don't think so. I think she looks enough like a human to pass though. Trust me. They wont find out." he said calmly.

Hiei nodded. "Fine. Let's bring her to one" he said looking down at Hikari. Hikari was asleep. But not a nice sleep... a painful sleep...

Yukina was being comforted by Keiko and Botan. " I knew it would happen..." she kept saying.

Kuwabara was just shaking his head. Even though he didn't like Hiei or Hikari, he still hoped to god that the baby would live.

*After the boat ride home at the Hospital*

Hikari was on a bed, getting checked to see if the baby was ok.

Everyone else sat in the waiting room.

Yukina was still broken up about it.

The doctor came in with a sad look on his face. Hiei looked at the doctor. "I got good news and bad news" the doctor said.

Kurama had gotten permission to stay in the room with Hiei and Hikari.

"Hiei..." he said. "...answer the man."

Hiei gulped. "What's the good news?" Hiei asked. The doctor sighed. "Good news is Hikari is still alive" the Dr. said. Hiei nodded. "And bad news?" Hiei asked. "She lost the baby..." The Dr. said sadly.

Hiei's eyes widened. He was like in a state of shock there.

Kurama's head dropped. "I'm sorry Hiei." he said.

Hiei just shook his head. "No... no!" He brought his knees onto the chair he was sitting on and hugged them tightly.

Hikari was brought back into the room. She didn't know yet. She was asleep.

Yukina heard Hiei and came rushing in. She didn't care that she wasn't allowed in. She ran in and hugged Hiei tightly. She knew what had happened.

Hiei just kept his eyes shut. Trying not to cry.

Yukina was crying. But she had been doing that for the past couple days.

Hikari slowly awoke. She didn't have the faintest clue... she looked at Hiei and blinked. "What's wrong?" she asked. Hiei tried to tell her but he couldn't say it... it was as if he had lost his voice.

Yukina was too distraught to talk either.

Hikari blinked. "Tell me"

She looked at Kurama.

Since there was no doctors in the room... she thought maybe Kurama would tell her...

Kurama looked up. He walked over next to her and pulled up a chair. "You...lost the baby." he said solemnly.

Hikari just brought her knees to herself and began to shake a bit. "N-no..." she put her head to her knees and cried.

No one could say anything to make them feel better. Not even Kurama. He walked outside into the hall to tell everyone else. Leaving the other 3 to cry to themselves.

Hiei stood and hugged Yukina and Hikari at the same time. Hikari continued to cry. "I-its a-all m-my f-f-fault..."

Yukina hugged Hikari. "No...no it isn't." but she didn't totally believe herself even. She wanted to...but she couldn't.

Hikari cried harder. "Y-yes i-it i-i-is..." Hikari said sadly. Hiei stroked Hikari's hair gently. Two black tear gems fell onto Hikari's head.

No one knew what to do with themselves. They sat there for hours...thinking of nothing else. Kurama had told everyone else and they had taken it the same way...except not so heavily as Hiei, Hikari, and Yukina.

Kuwabara just sighed.

Hikari stood slowly. "I... I want to leave..." she mumbled.

Yukina walked to the doctor in the other room and asked if it was alright if Hikari left. He nodded sadly. "Yes...there's nothing more we can do." he said.

Hikari bit her lip so she wouldn't cry anymore. She slowly walked out of the room, followed by Hiei. You could see very well she had been crying.

If you looked close enough, you could tell Hiei was too.

Yukina followed. When they came out of the room, everyone one else stood up...most of them had been crying too. They only followed and said nothing.

Hikari leaned into Hiei sadly.

Kurama invited Hiei and Hikari to stay at his house. "It's not much but my mother and I would be happy to have you. Especially now." he said.

Hiei nodded. He picked Hikari up gently into his arms and walked out of the hospital.

Kurama led them to his house which was right down the road. They didn't have far to walk. The others all went to their own homes, except for Yukina. Who was still walking besides Kurama. "Oh, Yukina. I'm sorry. I forgot you were there. You can stay at my house too. We have plenty of room." he said softly.

Yukina nodded not even looking up.

Hikari sighed sadly. She was really depressed.

Kurama looked at them both. He felt very sorry for them. Even though he knew it was wrong for her to get pregnant in the first place, he still hoped they would have another. To regain their morale.

Hiei whispered something into Hikari's ear and she shrugged. "If we do... in a few days..." she mumbled tiredly. Hiei nodded.

Kurama led them into the house and introduced them to his mom.

Hiei smiled. Even though it was forced. Hikari didn't even try to smile at Kurama's mother.

Kurama led them to their room.

Hiei followed silently.

Kurama showed them inside then he left them alone. "I'll be in my room if you need me." he said solemnly as he walked down the hall.

Hiei laid Hikari on the bed.

Kurama led Yukina to her own room right next to theirs.

Hiei laid next to Hikari. He rubbed her stomach lightly.

Kurama sat in his bed and pondered what had happened today. He just couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe something like this had happened to his best friend in the world.
