A blue haired girl was riding on a broomstick, her pink eyes were clouded with disbelief. Her name was Botan, ferry girl to the Spirit World. The conversation that Botan had with King Koenma's blue ogre moments ago was ringing through her mind.
"Botan, you must go find a female demon. Koenma believes that she will be a very important member on Yusuke's team. He as well thinks that she lives right in Tokyo. Go tell the others and to try to find her."
Botan was too busy thinking of her encounter with Keiko that she had no had no idea what he was babbling about. The only words she could make out where : female demon, Tokyo, team, member. Before she knew it she had replied with a "Yes." And flown off.
Now she was halfway to the human world and it all came to her. Dread filled her, how was she supposed to tell Yusuke and the others. Especially Yusuke that the demon they were supposed to recruit was Keiko? Biting her lip, she saw that she was nearly home. Botan then saw a red haired teenager that was slowly walking towards the supermarket. If she had to tell them, then it'd be better to tell him then the other two. "Hey! Hey, Kurama!"
*~* Keiko *~*
Tears streamed down her face as she walked away from the house that had been like a second home to her long ago. Was it that long? It didn't seem like it. It only seemed like yesterday when Keiko and Yusuke walked together before and after school. It only seemed like yesterday when Keiko and Yusuke would hangout at the park talking about almost anything. It almost seemed like yesterday he'd tease her and she'd yell at him for not doing his homework.
Keiko sighed and descieded instead of going home, she'd go to the vacated park. It was just how she liked it, empty. Keiko sat on one of the swings and let the cool breeze run through her body, mind, and soul.
Unknowing tears trickled down and slid down Keiko's face, and she wept.
Keiko suddenly became very aware of her surroundings. Black clouds formed and huddled close together. The shadows darkening. Keiko had seen this only once before and knew what was about to happen.
Keiko looked around, waiting for her to show up. As on cue, a silky voice whispered in her ear, "Keiko."
*~* Kurama, Botan, Kuwabara *~*
"Wow! I don't know how Yusuke's gonna take this but it'll be bad." Kuwabara said shaking his head.
"We already know that." Botan said crossing her arms and shaking her head too.
"Well, there's no point in waiting and guessing, we have to tell him. Now!" Kurama spoke briskly getting up on his feat and walking towards the Urameshi's house.
*~* Hiei *~*
Where the hell is she? Hiei thought. He didn't know why, but he had a very bad feeling about this. He could somehow sense that something bad would happen. He just didn't understand.
Fed up with waiting, Hiei unleashed his jagan and searched for her life force. Somewhere, somewhere, he could sense Keiko's and a very powerful one. Hiei hurriedly tied his white bandanna carefully around the jagan and leapt out the window, searching for his love.
*~* Keiko *~*
Keiko looked wildly around for the source of the voice. Nothing but shadows enveloped her. Till, Keiko saw a jet of spirit energy hurdling towards her and knocked her back.
Keiko fell to the ground and moaned in pain. Nothing but black filled her senses. Her heart hammered quickly against her chest and Keiko struggled to get up. Her stomach had a wound to it like a large bruise and hurt when pressure was put on it.
A loud laughter could be heard throughout the park.
"Keiko. Get up! Get up and fight me!" Sukura's voice gleefully cackled.
The pain was too much and succeeded in leaving Keiko helpless.
"I made a promise to myself. A promise in which I intend to fulfill. You will definetly pay for wounding me that day. Definitely." She continued, walking out and showing her demon form.
"Why do you hate me so much?!" Keiko asked, her voice echoing throughout the trees.
"You want to know why I hate you? I'll tell you. I hate you because you took the man that I love."
"You never loved him. That's why you betrayed him!"
"NO! I admit I did betray him, but that didn't mean I didn't love him anymore. You see, a demon, an old demon at that. And when I mean by old, I mean a wise one like Kurama, and one that follows the old ways. I am one of them. Mating is needed. You need to mate in order to keep your species alive. I met Hiei. He loved me, I didn't know. By then I felt confused. I didn't know what I wanted. So I chose the only thing that seemed easy, I mated him and then I chose another to mate. I tried to keep the Dark Demon's alive. But then I realized too late. I did love Hiei. I told him, he rejected me and said he couldn't love anymore. I kept pestering him, till he tried to kill me. He said he could never love again, but now. He broke his promise." Sukura said this with an easy expression and even laughed a little when she brought up the part of Hiei trying to kill her.
Keiko looked at her with a sicken expression and turned away from the smile of delight on her face, "Keiko. Prepare to die."
She saw Sukura form an immense spirit blast around her fist and tried to get up. Succeeding, Keiko quickly regained balance and formed her own weapon. Her spirit sword was formed and her energy went through it to the tip of the blade.
Keiko looked at those pitiful black eyes, they made her feel sorry for what Sukura had made herself become.
Both got ready to fire, both energy's speeding at each other. Each one trying to get to the other.
Till, both merged together and exploded. Dust flew every where, Keiko and Sukura were unharmed, but had almost depleted all their spirit energy in that one blast.
"Well then, I guess this will be determined by not spirit energy, but by physical fighting." Sukura whispered.
"Guess so." Keiko said, panting but then she slowly smirked.
*~* Yusuke, Botan, Kuwabara, Kurama *~*
"Yusuke! Botan! Hurry up!" Kurama yelled at the two who where walking slowly behind Kurama and Kuwabara.
Kurama and Kuwabara waited patiently for the two who walked even more slower. After catching up, they decided where next to go, or more like Kurama and Kuwabara did. They had been through out the whole city, looking for her. Suddenly they heard a loud noise towards the park, and they immediately ran there.
*~* At the Park *~*
Yusuke and the others had arrived and saw Keiko and this other demon fighting hand to hand combat. Each had exceptional skill, and were pretty even.
Sukura and Keiko were in a fight that seemed to never end. It was a dance, in which none knew when to stop. A deadly dance. One mistake, would cost their lives. Suddenly, Keiko was on the ground, and Sukura was advancing on her, fangs growing longer and pointer.
Yusuke felt a presence behind him and came Hiei running as fast as he could towards Keiko. His kantana in his hand, ready to strike Sukura.
Keiko saw, dazed at what had just happened. How could have a blade move so swiftly, so quick, so deadly. How could have Sukura pull out her own kantana and strike Hiei. How?
Grief filled her senses, and Keiko didn't know what to do. Everything seemed to be in slow motion.
She had seen Hiei run to her with the blade of his kantana pointed at Sukura's heart. But she had her own hidden in her cloak. Ready to strike, she pulled it out and slashed it across Hiei's stomach. Blood spilled every where, forming like a river.
"NO!" a pathetic moan came from Keiko as she ran to Hiei. Time seemed to never end. Her heart shattered as see she saw a lying Hiei on the ground, blood going every where. Her heart seemed to literally stop. Nothing could fix this pain, this pain that she felt would never end.
"SUKURA! How could you!? I thought you loved him! I thought you loved him!" Keiko moaned as she ran towards her beloved Hiei.
The only response she got was a small smile. Enraged at the lack of answer, Keiko yelled out a scream that all could feel it's pain and anguish.
A small moan came from Hiei's lips and all the white hot anger that had moments appeared in Keiko, disappeared with one look at Hiei. In came love, sorrow, and despair. She gently put his head in her lap and tried to hold him close to her.
Tears continuously fell, down on to her face, down on to Hiei's blood smeared face.
Oddly enough, Hiei was calmly peacefully. He didn't feel that upset. Of course he was upset that he couldn't embrace her. He felt upset that he couldn't wipe away the tears that fell from her beautiful blue eyes. But he was happy to. Happy that he could love again. Find his soul mate. Find the one he wanted to spend the rest of eternity with. He was about to tell Keiko that he loved her, but sleep overwhelmed him. Yes sleep was good, and Hiei slept, slept into the darkness.
Keiko continued to look at him, and more tears fell, as she saw for the last time, his crimson eyes, they closed, resting forever. She would never feel those lips on hers. Never feel those arms hold her against him. Never be able to make him smile. Never be able to be with Hiei.
Keiko had never felt this pain before. A pain in which, like half of her body, mind, soul was gone. It disappeared. All she could do was hold him and cradle him. All she could do was give in to the darkness. "Hiei. Hiei. You can't leave me. You can't leave! You have to come back! Please Come Back!! I NEED YOU!!!" she continued to plead shaking him gently.
Tears continued to fall, her heart would not, could not ever love again. Kurama slowly approached her and carried her away. Keiko had no idea what was going on. She guessed that she was being carried from the feeling of being lifted.
She didn't care. Nothing mattered any more. Keiko put her head on who's ever shoulder it was, and wept non stop, sleep took over and silent tear trickled down the closed eyes.
Yusuke, Botan and Kuwabara had seen the whole scene and tear streamed down their faces. Kurama nodded at Kuwabara and he went to pick Hiei up. Kurama and the rest where leaving, walking towards Yusuke's house.
"NO! Leave his body! NOW! Sukura's commanding voice echoed through Kuwabara's mind.
Kuwabara looked for the source of the voice. But by the time he realized it was in his mind, he saw the female demon, carrying Hiei away from the park, into the shadows.
He ran after her till, following into the shadows. Till they were gone somewhere. He didn't know where she carried him off to. Nothing could be seen but darkness.
Author Note - Awwwww. I thought that was sooo sad. Even I cried when I wrote it. MUWHAHAHAHA!!!! Cliffy! But before you review flaming me about making Hiei die, I'll give you a hint.
*I whisper into someone's ear*, Hiei isn't dead.
*person gasps* No!
*I nod*
So before you flame me saying how could I let Hiei die, he isn't. so Please NO FLAMES!!! ^^
