Chapter 3:
I don't own YYH, sorry.
The president was on the TV. He seemed more weathered the longer this went on. His once sandy brown hair now graying. "....It looks as though we have lost three more U.S. troops, they have been declared missing in action, as of today...We have heard of them since earlier this morning, and we are searching as I speak..."
I look away from the screen and hang my head. So many of my friends where there at the time. It was hard to worry day and night about them.
"...It has come to us, that we can no longer act as if this is almost over... We need more soldiers to help the navy and military... We'll need-"
I inhaled sharply, making myself choke. I couldn't believe what I had heard. I thought it was finally all over. I felt myself shaking, cold sweat trickling down my neck.
Mirha and Kiaru looked at me, already both of them where very pale. Kiaru coughed, and I could see her eyes filling with tears. It was happening again. I had to go back, and see more deaths.
I swallow hard, and look them in the eyes. "I will go back to protect my country proudly." I felt as if I was going to vomit as I said those words, but I surprisingly didn't.
"...I will as well." Hiei stepped out of the back of the room. The other two nodded and let a small smile of sadness show through.
"We will do this together."

Seta and Heidi returned later that night. It was so hard to tell Heidi. She didn't have that well control of her nerves. She had to take pills for depression and anxiety already. The six of us had to take her to the hospital many times for severe panic attacks. She had tried to cut herself many times, and we always had to help her rebound.
"Why does this have to keep going on?" She was already crying hard when we finished telling her. Kiaru and I had her in a tight hug.

Kurama arrived later.
By that time we had all agreed to return to the military. We had decided to start packing. To get back quickly we would have to board the plane early.
I shoved my old clothes from India into my suit case, along with pairs of boots, flip flops, underwear, and a pairs of few tank tops and shorts. Grabbing my make up bag, a few unread books, money, and my camera I headed downstairs, shoving the items randomly into my bag.
As I reached the bottom of the stairs I noticed Hiei sitting on a chair in the kitchen. A bag thrown messily onto the floor beside his feet. Hiei had been really burnt out lately. His eyes where constantly bloodshot, and he always seemed to be alone.
I smirked and ran down the stairs quickly, screaming. "HI HIEI!" I yelled into his right ear.
He cringed and sat up a little. "Hello...?" His voice coming out quiet.
"You all ready to go?" He nodded.
"I have nothing to take anyways." He sounded so dull...
"That just means you have to go shopping." I smile. I know Hiei meant something else, but I was trying to keep my spirit's up.
I felt pain, knowing that it was true. I dropped my bag and approached him. Sitting on the table, I leaned forward and hugged him tightly. He was so cold.
"We're going to go there together, and we will all come back." Hiei's expression didn't change. He looked me straight in the eye, still serious. I couldn't help but believe him, but I knew he was wrong.
