Author Note - Thanks for all the reviews!!!! I had a huge writer's block. ^^ AGAIN, THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS!!!!!!!!
DISCLAIMER - I don't own.. I also used some of the plots of Fushigi Yugi The Mysterious Play. Sadly, I don't own that either. (sob)
The sky darkened still and rain started to fall, mixing in with the blood that was on the park grounds. Kuwabara looked for the mysterious demon who had carried Hiei off somewhere. Continuing to look and finding nothing but shadows and getting soaked from the rain droplets, Kuwabara gave up on his search. He knew that this would affect Keiko greatly. He began to relive the moments on what happened today at the park. Tears came upon his eyes once again and thought so much tears and blood had been shed this day. He looked up at the sky and cursed the gods for allowing this to happen, he walked away, tears still falling mixing in with the rain.
Kurama sat slowly down on the couch with Yusuke. They had walked to Yusuke's house in time from getting soaked in the rain. They had both put Keiko into the bathroom and let Botan pull her clothes off and start a shower for the heart broken demon. While she did this, Keiko had just stood there, her eyes clouded with disbelief, sorrow, and grief. Tears unknowingly once again fell from the green eyes of Kurama as Yusuke just sat there biting his lip.
"Yusuke. It's okay to cry." Kurama said, his voice cracking as more tears fell. That did it, Yusuke sat there motionless, but Kurama saw the silent small droplets of tears that fell from his brown eyes. He put his hands on his face. Botan came in her eyes red and puffy. She saw the two boys and immediately embraced them. Tears continued to fall. It seemed like the tears would never go away, but continue to fall, endlessly.
Keiko felt the hot warm water on her body and sat in the bathtub. She seemed unaware of what was happening outside or wherever. The scene kept replaying in her mind. How could .......... how could he have left her? She didn't understand. This was all her fault. It had to be, if she didn't go the damn park and go straight to her house, this wouldn't have happen. It wouldn't have happened. No. he couldn't be. He couldn't be. But as she said this, she knew that this couldn't be true. He had to be. NO! Keiko wouldn't allow her say the words. Because if I did, then it would be like a final judgment. Keiko, confused at her own thinking, silently wept, and just sat there. Wanting to be alone.
*~* Sukura *~*
Hiei felt... he didn't really know what he felt. Yes he did feel cold. Yes, DEFINETLY cold. He tried to remember what had happened. Nothing, nothing could be recalled from his mind. He tried to open his eyes and saw blackness. Confused he heard a voice somewhere. "Hiei. You're awake. Now get up and walk to me."
Obediently, Hiei opened his eyes fully and saw the night sky. The stars twinkled and gleamed against the blackness. He got up and saw Sukura. Sukura his love. Hiei moved swiftly to her and took her in a passionate kiss, his tongue stroking hers. They pulled back and Sukura smiled sweetly. "Perfect."
"What's perfect?" Hiei asked, wrapping her in his arms and nibbling on her neck.
"Oh nothing." She said lightly. "but I do have a question for you. Do you remember Keiko?"
Hiei looked up and tried to remember. That name seemed so familiar. He pictured an image of a girl with brown hair and brown eyes. Her eyes twinkled innocence. But then another image took over which took his breath away. A demon with black hair. Streaks of whit, blue and purple, which made her a creature if the night. Eyes, wide with desire and beauty, the color of midnight blue. Her skin a creamy pale color. Yes he remembered. She was the one who betrayed him. Anger pushed aside his love for her and a need to kill her took over.
Sukura smiled at the sight of look when she asked him the question. Things where going perfectly well. She looked him in the eye and said, "Go. Go and kill Keiko."
Hiei nodded swiftly and ran out the window.
Sukura did a little hum to herself. Yes, everything was going according to her plan. The poison she fed him would make him do anything for her. I guess I won't have the satisfaction of killing Keiko myself, but I will have a great joy of letting Hiei kill his love. Yes everything was going according to plan.
*~* Keiko, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Botan *~*
Keiko had been in the shower for almost an hour by now Kurama thought worriedly. The recent scene never seemed to have left the atmosphere completely.
Botan came in tentatively, calling out Keiko's name. "Keiko? Keiko?"
Keiko heard a voice calling out her name and saw flecks of blue hair outside the shower curtain. It seemed that she had lost her vocal cords and silently moaned, "Leave me alone, I want to be alone."
Botan gave up and walked out, leaving a pink and fluffy bathrobe for Keiko to get in after she got out.
Keiko sat there, tears just seemed to fall without her doing. Each time she felt she had completely thought no more would fall. The memories of toady surged through her and tears once again appeared. Keiko decided she couldn't take anymore of the steam, finally got herself up and wrapped the pink bathrobe around her soaked body. She dried her face, and went into the familiar living room, seeing the old gang waiting for her.
Keiko looked around the room and realized that this was not the full old gang. Hiei wasn't there. Keiko sat down quickly on a chair and sighed.
When Kurama saw Keiko walk out of the shower, he felt his own heart break with sorrow. It looked like she had cried during the whole duration of the shower. When he saw her sit down, he saw silent tears coursing down her face.
"I'm fine, really." Keiko heard herself say.
"No. No you're not. But that's okay. Were here for you." Yusuke said and walked over to her, hugging Keiko. She put her head on his shoulder, and felt a warm wetness on his shirt. He continued to hug her tighter and soothe nonsense words in her ear.
The wind howled and the rain pelted against the window. A few blocks away, you would see a young man. He had on a black cloak that draped around his slim, but muscular body. His hair was black, with streaks of white, that was formed like a fire. His eyes had a hollow look to them, they burned crimson. Across his forehead was a white bandanna wrapped around. Underneath his cloak was a sharp kantana, ready to kill. He walked slowly forward, finding her life force in the Urameshi's house.
Kurama left his seat to make some hot chocolate, Botan and Kuwabara followed, leaving the two alone.
Yusuke leaned his head back and started to say something, till the window crashed open. Shards flew everywhere, hitting Keiko and Yusuke. The wind howled in, blowing everything in it's path.
The rain shot out, hitting them like little bullets. Keiko screamed, wrapping her arms tightly around Yusuke. Botan and Kurama rushed in getting soaked as well. The wind seemed to lessen and the rain steadied. Keiko looked up, brushing away her hair that flew in her face, and saw Hiei!
Her heart beated, her breath quickening. "Hiei?!" Keiko moaned, as fresh new tears sprang alive. She thought she'd never see his face. See those eyes. "Hiei", Keiko continued to say as she released her grasp from Yusuke and walking forward.
She expected him to come to her, or hug her, or at least say something, but her didn't. he didn't do anything besides pulling the hidden kantana and holding it in his hand. "Hiei?"
When Hiei had crashed the window open, he saw Keiko their sitting next to some boy with raven-colored hair and brown thoughtful eyes. For some reason jealous claws pierced him and he felt a surge of anger for him holding Keiko. But then that thought was brushed aside and he looked straight at Keiko. He heard her screams and saw three more people enter the room. When the wind and rain died down, he saw Keiko look at him, then cried out his name almost in disbelief.
When he looked in her eyes, memories surged through him. He remembered a time when both of them were up in a tree, stargazing. The stars seemed to twinkle the brightest that night. They were in each other's lap and looking up at the heavens. The night was peaceful. Something pushed that memory away and a commanding voice cried out in his mind, "KILL HER!!!! TAKE YOUR KANTANA AND KILL HER, THEN LEAVE. KILL THE OTHERS IF YOU MUST!!!"
Hiei slowly took his kantana out and was about to strike when soft arms wrapped around him.
Keiko flung her arms around him waiting for a response. She held on him tighter, whispering, "Oh god! I missed you so much! I thought you died? What happened? Oh I don't care, as long as you're here with me. I love you so much."
Those words seemed to have affected him greatly. The same voice seemed to echo in his mind, the same phrase, over and over. "I love you." NO! He had to do his mission now! Raising his kantana he was about to let it descend, piercing her smooth skin. Till----- "Rose Whip!"
A whip took the kantana and it clattered across the floor. Keiko looked up and saw an unfamiliar ness in his eyes. "Hiei?"
Keiko turned around and saw the kantana thrown across, Kurama holding his Rose Whip tightly in his hand.
Keiko moved away slowly shaking her head. "You're not Hiei. No!"
"Of course I am, who else would I be?" a sharp, cold voice asked.
Keiko continued to shake her head crying.
"Now I'm here to kill you. Kurama's Rose Whip saved you, but not anymore."
Keiko continued to cry than shouted, "What are you doing Hiei!?"
Hiei continued to look at her coldly, staring at her. "I'm here top kill you."
"Then kill me. Kill me. This is worse than death. Much worse. I welcome death right now." Keiko said, looking down and walking slowly towards the kantana and handing it to him.
"Keiko! No!" Yusuke cried his hand reaching to grab her.
She turned around slowly, "No Yusuke. This is for the best. My heart wouldn't be able to take this anymore. Death will be nothing compared to what I am feeling right now."
' Yusuke slowly pulled back, his eyes with disbelief. "I'm sorry." She whispered.
Keiko looked at Hiei again and saw him raise his kantana. She shut her eyes, waiting for the final plunge.
