Chapter: 15
Snow fall

"It's been over a month, Koenma," Kurama said in his own room with Yusuke. Koenma was hovering above them both and Kuwabara was late to the meeting. Kurama continued. "Don't you think you should have found out something?"
"We're very close, Kurama. Makuya, however, has destroyed or found some way to cover any information on herself. So it has become substantially difficult."
Yusuke sighed. "Think. Was there anything odd about her? Anything!"
. . .
"Well . . . she's a miko right?" Kurama said.
"Yes . . ." Koenma said almost in a question. What was Kurama up to?
"I know Yusuke is powerful as a human, and Kuwabara's not half bad either. But both of them are not like normal humans. Yusuke died and Kuwabara's family has a history of spirit sensing. What's so special about Makuya?"
. . .
. . .
. . .
"That's a good point," Koenma said. "I'm not sure . . . well, never mind."
"What?" Yusuke said in curiosity.
"Well, there's a legend that says that love is more powerful than anything. If used in the right way, it can change a person." Koenma said rubbing the back of his neck.
"What do you mean, change?" Kurama said in confusion.
"I mean, that it can sometimes rid a person of their human nature and bring out their 'demon-like' emotions. Makuya could be subject to this." Koenma closed his eyes.
"In other words, Makoyo's spirit could be draining Makuya of her true human nature and bringing out her inner savage power, right?" Yusuke asked.
"Something like that, yes." Koenma said nodding.
"So, Makoyo used Makuya's love for her anee to manipulate her and turn her into something else." Kurama said.
"In other words, she's not a human anymore." Yusuke sighed.
"If she wasn't a human anymore, she'd be dead." Koenma said to Yusuke. "Her very human nature is the only thing keeping her alive. But there is so little of it left, she can't reverse the process. Basically, she's as good as dead."
A long silence passed.
. . .
"That must be it." Yusuke said. "Let's tell Hiei!"
Koenma gave Yusuke a hard glare.
"Never mind."
Kurama's heart sank. "What will happen when Makoyo get's the Amaterasu stone? What will happen to Makuya? She's just a child!" he was shouting now.
"First of all, Makuya's not a child anymore. She's your age. She just looks like a child because of Makoyo's spell. Second, Makuya has two choices. She can either live on and take her true form as the age you are, and go to jail, or she can stay the way she is and drift into death slowly."
Kurama's fists clenched. "Koenma! Find a way to get Hiei! I . . . I can't stand to see a young girl die like that!" With that, he ran out of his room and down stairs as fast as a fox.
. . .
Yusuke smiled. "Am I the only one missing the romance here?"
Koenma rolled his eyes. "Oh, Yusuke."
"What?!" 'I hardly ever get to see Keiko anyway . . .'

"Hiei? Where are we going?" Mira said trying to adjust her blind fold.
"It's a secret, for the tenth time."
"You're not taking me to a cult are you?" Mira laughed.
"A what?"
. . .
"Nevermind."
Hiei blinked. 'Whatever . . .'
They both sat on the train alone. Hiei's hands were wrapped around Miras and they both sat in silence for the rest of the train ride.
Hiei had told Mira they were going somewhere for a surprise but Mira had no idea what was going on!
Their car was empty. (Seeing as how it was 11:00pm.) Hiei tried to sneak both of them out of the house without the witch mother seeing or finding out.
The only way he could do that was late at night.
'I hope this works . . .'
The train came to a stop and trusted them both into the next seat with the force.
Ignoring the blushing, (Hiei was on top of her) Hiei got up and guided Mira off the subway car and onto the platform.
It was cold.
Mira could feel that. It was snowing too.
"Hiei, where are we?"
"You really want to know? Alright. Take off the blindfold."
Mira did so.
As the piece of cloth lay in her hands she looked around.
There was no one there.
It was dark and they were surrounded by abandoned buildings.
The only thing else around them were train tracks and blinding street lights.
"Hiei?" Mira whispered as a few light snowflakes fell on her cheeks.
Hiei put a finger to her lips. "Merry Christmas, Mira."
Mira was puzzled.
Hiei saw the puzzlement and turned her around to face one of the street lights.
There was someone under it.
Mira squinted her eyes to see who it was.
She gasped.
. . .
. . .
. . .
"Yu-Yuki!" She shouted, tears falling from her green orbs. She let go of Hiei's hands and ran over to the short black-haired Asian girl standing in the street light. They both hugged each other for a while and lost balance.
They both sunk into the snow-covered ground, tears drenching them.
Hiei just stood on the side and watched them both.
He smiled.
'All she wanted for Christmas was to see Yuki again.'
'You think so, Mr. Obvious?'
'Shut up.'
'Just this once, I will.'
Hiei closed his eyes and walked over to the train tracks a sat down, letting them both have their moment.
Mira pulled away from Yuki, sniffling. "B- But how?"
"That friend of yours," she said pointing to Hiei. "He came to my house saying that you wanted to see me again. He said that he'd do anything if I accepted to come. It didn't take me long!" She said laughing as she wiped away her tears.
Mira looked at the ground. 'Hiei would have done anything to make me happy.' A few more tears fell.
Yuki took note of this. "You know, I'm jealous."
Mira looked at her with confusion. "Why?"
"Well, he's cute!"
"Yuki!"
"Well, he is!" They both laughed. Yuki broke it. "Is he a good boyfriend?"
Mira's eyes widened. "He's not my boyfriend!"
"Uh huh. Suuure."
"But I do have to thank him don't I?"
"I would," Yuki smiled.
With that, Mira got up and walked over slowly to where Hiei was sitting down.
Behind him, she put both her hands on his shoulders and leaned forward to whisper in his ear.
He was a little startled at first but he let her speak.
"Thank you," was all she muttered before nuzzling her head into his shoulder.
'You're welcome . . .' Hiei thought. But for some reason, he couldn't find the words to say it.
