Disclaimer: (slc) Ok. Sorry this took so long. I just finished watching the
YYH DVD's I got for Christmas. ^_^ I finally saw what happens at the end of
the Tuguro series! (It's very bloody though. That's why CN couldn't show
it.) It's really funny too.
^_^
Enjoy!
Chapter: 19
Mira's fate
~*~
The phone rang loudly in Mira's house.
Hiei and her mother were the only ones home.
Mira hadn't seemed to make it back yet . . .
Hiei wasn't worried though.
Mira could take care of herself.
. . .
At least,
That's what he thought.
"HIEI! Could you get that?! I'm busy!"
"Sure," he managed to say. Kurama had taught him how to use a phone a while ago so he wasn't scared.
He reached over and picked up the receiver in the living room.
"Hello?"
Someone was crying on the other end. "Hiei? Hiei, is that you?"
"Yuki?"
"Yeah," she sniffled. "Look. I'm at the hospital."
"Why?! What's wrong?"
"It's not me. It's Mira."
Hiei felt like he could die right there. "What's wrong with her?!"
Yuki continued to cry.
Hiei didn't have time for this. He hung up the phone and ran out the door toward the hospital.
Mira's mother continued obliviously.
* * *
"WHERE IS MIRA?!?!" Hiei shouted at the desk clerk.
"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know who you're talking about. Please s-"
"Where is she, goddamit!"
"Hiei!" Yuki shouted from down the hall. Her face was tear stained.
Hiei ran down the hall to where Yuki was standing. "Where is she?" He whispered.
Yuki was silent for a moment. "Hiei . . . Hiei, she was stabbed."
Hiei stopped breathing. "WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?!"
"She's in there!" Yuki said pointing into a room on their left.
Hiei ran in but stopped when he saw what was going on.
Mira was lying in the hospital bed with tubes and wires going in and out of her arms and face. Hiei lost his balance and fell to the ground as he continued to stare at the girl he loved in such pain.
A single tear trickled down his left cheek. "What happened to her?" He quivered.
"Mira and I went our separate ways until I heard screaming. I ran over to where I heard it and Mira was lying on the ground soaked in her own blood."
Hiei felt like he was going to throw up. Blood was no surprise to him. He had seen it millions of times. But when he saw it coming from the girl he loved the most, it killed him.
"Hiei?" Yuki said. "Hiei what's going on?"
He managed to shake off one word through his lips. ". . . Makuya."
"Who?"
Hiei tried to clutch the floor. "Makuya . . . YOU BITCH!" Yuki was startled by his shout and backed away slightly.
"Hiei, who is Makuya?"
"May I please have a minute alone with Mira, Yuki?"
Yuki nodded in confusion and walked out, closing the door behind her.
Hiei found some strength to get up and walk over to the bed. He kneeled down next to Mira's head. He began to cry into the bed sheets.
'How could this have happened? Why would Makuya do something like this?'
He sniffled as he felt a slight tension on the bed.
He looked over and saw Mira's hand clutching the white sheet.
Hiei looked up at her eyes. They were half open.
He gasped as she spoke.
"Hiei . . . it was one of your enemies wasn't it? The one who . . . did this." She struggled.
"Yes. It was Makuya. She's the one who took hold of me and turned me into a ningen."
Mira managed a laugh. "You still calling us that?"
Hiei smiled briefly. Mira coughed. "She missed my heart by an inch." She took Hiei's hand and placed it over her heart. "But the blood loss has become fatal. I might not make it."
"Don't say that! You will. You're stronger than that."
Mira smiled again. "Don't be stupid, Hiei. I'm a human and I always have been."
"So what?!"
With that, Mira drifted into slumber.
'God. What has that miko done?'
As usual, Koenma appeared right on cue in the middle of the room.
"Hiei. Hiei, I'm sorry. I couldn't stop Makuya in time."
"It's not your fault." Hiei whispered. "They watching this?"
"Yes."
'Great.' But that was the least of Hiei's problems.
"Koenma, is there any way to save her?"
. . .
"There is. . . one way."
"What is it?!"
. . .
"The stone."
'STUPID! Of course the stone! But wait-"
"Koenma, if I use the stone on Mira, she'll come back to life. . . but-"
"But you won't be able to turn back into a demon." Koenma interrupted.
. . .
"Is there . . . any other way?"
"I'm sorry, no."
. . .
. . .
". . ."
"Hiei?"
"How do I get it? The stone?"
"But Hiei, if you use it for her, y-"
"You think I give a shit about turning back into a demon now?!!? DO YOU?!!? I DON'T! Mira is all that matters right now, so just shut up and tell me how the fuck I can get the stone!"
"Hiei-"
"STOP IT! I've already made my decision. You can't change it! Now, TELL ME!"
Koenma sighed. "Fine, Hiei."
. . .
Hiei waited.
"The forest you came from. The forest you were transported to. She has a cave in that forest that you must find. In there, she waits for you."
"How do you expect me to fight?"
"I don't. You must show Makuya that her anee is using her. She won't listen other wise."
. . .
"If it will save Mira, I'll do whatever it takes."
"Fine, then."
. . .
"Wait," Koenma said. "How do you propose you're going to bring Mira with you?"
"I'm going to carry her. What else?" Hiei said as he released all the tubes and wires attached to Mira keeping her from him.
"Hiei, NO! She's going to be in serious danger if you keep her from life support!"
"So what?! She's not going to have life very long if I don't do something!"
For the first time, Koenma looked through Hiei's outer exterior and saw into his emotions. 'I've never seen Hiei like this.' Koenma thought. 'I'm glad he is though.'
Hiei reached underneath Mira in the bed sheets and picked her up bridal style and began walking out the door.
Koenma wanted to stop him when Hiei began to run, but he didn't. Hiei walked out the door and right past Yuki.
She was shocked to see Mira in his arms. "Hiei! What are you doing?! Hey! Get back here!" She was stopped by a teenage boy with brown hair and a weird costume in front of her.
"Let him go," Koenma whispered to Yuki.
Yuki trembled but let him go. 'Save her, Hiei . . . please. . .'
