Chapter: 21
Never say goodbye
~*~
Hiei awoke with a slight pain in his head.
He was still on the ground, but he looked around to find that he was outside in the forest.
. . .
'The stone must have transported us out.' Hiei paused. 'Wait! The stone! What happened?'
Hiei clutched the twigs and dirt in the ground.
. . .
Wait a minute . . .
His fingers.
They were . . . claw like.
. . .
'Oh god, no.' Hiei went into panic. He reached for his forehead and stopped himself before he poked his third eye.
'I'm a demon again! But then- the stone must have- and not- MIRA!'
Hiei got up as fast as lightning.
'Woah. I'm not use to that anymore. Wait . . . I'm still taller!'
Hiei deep down was rejoicing.
But he had to find Mira!
He kept on looking around until he found a chestnut-haired body lying on the ground not too far from where he was standing.
It wasn't moving.
'Oh god, no, please.' He used his powers to transport over to where the body was lying.
Hiei didn't want to look. But he did anyway.
His eyes were about to fill up with tears when he noticed something . . .
Mira's body wasn't as pale as before. In fact, it looked like it had some life in it!
"Oh my god!" Hiei whispered. 'She's still alive!' He reached over and held Mira in his arms. He shook her slightly to try and wake her up. "C'mon, Mira! Wake up!"
. . .
She did.
Her forest green eyes fluttered open as she stared into the face of the boy she loved.
"Hiei . . . I feel, fine! What happened to me? Wha-" She was cut off by Hiei's lips pressing to hers.
As he broke the kiss, he whispered to her. "God knows what I would've done if I had lost you."
They both chuckled slightly as Mira backed away to stare at Hiei.
Her eyes widened.
Hiei's heart sank. 'She . . . she hates me now. Now that I'm a demon.'
"Hiei?"
"Mira, this is my demon form. I'm sorry if I scare you. I- I-"
"Hiei?"
"Yes?"
. . .
Mira stepped closer. "That third eye is really cool, you know that, right?"
. . .
Hiei laughed. He fell forward and laughed. Mira laughed with him.
Hiei finished his laughter as he sat against and oak tree. "What I don't understand, is how can we both still be here?"
"I can answer that," Koenma said walking into their little section of the forest. Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara were right behind him.
"Really?" Hiei said, smiling.
"Really. The action you were suppose to perform was the kiss you gave Mira. The stone reacted to your love and realized that such a powerful thing could not be broken. So, you both received you wishes."
"Aaaaww. Wittle Hiei's so romantic sometimes!" Yusuke teased over on the side.
"You better watch it!" Hiei shouted back as he began to chase him around the clearing.
Mira watched them both as she began to stand up.
"You must be, Mira." Kurama said behind Mira's head.
She turned around in shock. "You must be one of Hiei's friends. How did you know who I was?"
Kuwabara walked up and said, stupidly, "Fireflies!"
Kurama kicked Kuwabara's shins. Mira blushed. "You saw that, huh?"
Kurama smiled in a friendly way, "Don't worry about it."
Mira smiled back and watched Hiei chase Yusuke some more. Mira stared at Hiei with a dreamy look.
Kurama took notice. "You know, you changed him."
She raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"He's a lot different since you came along."
Mira grinned. "Is that a bad thing?"
Kurama laughed. "Not at all."
Koenma pondered for a moment. "Hey, Kurama, what happened to Makuya in there? I couldn't see. I was too busy watching Hiei."
Kurama looked down at the ground. "She's gone. She used her last bit of energy to kill her sister and save us."
"Oh," Koenma said in almost a sigh.
Mira put a hand on Kurama's shoulder. "Don't worry. She was a good person at heart. You were one of the first people to realize that."
"I kn- wait! If you were half dead, how would you have known?"
They all turned to face Mira.
"I don't know. I guess I just read your emotions or something. I-I don't know!"
Koenma's eyes widened. "Wait a minute! Kuwabara! Come here."
"What?"
"Punch Mira."
Yusuke and Hiei stopped running as they heard Koenma's plea.
Kuwabara stepped back and Mira was puzzled. "Um . . . I'm sorry dude, but she's a girl and that goes against my code!"
"Just do it, you baka!"
"FINE."
Kuwabara took a swing with his fist aimed directly at Mira's face. Hiei shouted. "NO!"
Without flinching, Mira grabbed Kuwabara's fist before it even had a chance to scratch. She twisted his arm and with that force, he was thrown backward against a tree, fifty yards away.
. . .
"WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO?!" Mira screamed.
They all stood there gaping.
Hiei ran over and put his hands to her face. "What happened?!"
"I have no clue!"
"It's just as I thought," Koenma said, breaking the silence. "You see, the stone had difficulty figuring out which one of you was which because your hearts and spirits were intertwined. In giving Hiei back his demon powers, it gave Mira some as well!"
"Oh my god!" Mira shouted. "You mean I'm a demon?!"
"Partially, yes."
Hiei rested a hand on her shoulder. "Mira, I'm sor-"
"AWESOME!" She screamed with joy, interrupting Hiei.
Yet another sweat-drop worthy moment.
Koenma broke the awkward silence. "Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama? Could you leave Hiei, Mira and I alone for a moment?"
"And miss the juicy stuff?! You kidding?!" Yusuke shouted. Kurama and Kuwabara grabbed both his arms and dragged him off.
Kurama sighed. "What are we going to do with you, Yusuke?"
When they had safely left hearing range, Koenma began to speak to Hiei and Mira.
"I'm sorry, Hiei. But it seems that your debt for your crimes has not yet been paid. You must return to Japan."
Mira almost fainted. She felt as if her heart had left her body completely.
Hiei looked down to the ground. "Is there any other way?" He gently grabbed Mira's hand and laced his fingers with hers. "Anything?"
. . .
"Well . . . there is one way, but I didn't think you'd like it."
Hiei gave him another 'tell me or I'll kill you so slowly look.'
Koenma sighed. "Mira can come with you back to Japan. She has enough strength to help out with missions if she pleases. And she's welcome to stay with Botan up in my castle where she'll be safe. But it'll mean leaving her mother."
Hiei turned his head to look at Mira. He tried to keep his curious face hidden but it wasn't working.
Mira stared at the ground with a poker face.
"Mira?" Hiei whispered still holding her hand tight.
Mira smiled. "The old hag'll probably forget me anyway. But I'll still ask permission . . . not that it'll make a difference. There's no way she's keeping me back."
Hiei's eyes widened with Mira's and they both began to shout with joy as Hiei picked up Mira and spun her around several times.
Koenma watched them both happily.
They both continued to laugh before they cut each other off with a passionate kiss.
