This is the last chapter anyways.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chapter Eleven: You're Forgiven

Hiei's POV

I sat in the corner of a tree, my hands on my face. Why had I run away from Kurama? He was just repeating what I myself had said. In fact, he didn't even seem angry. I just misinterpreted it.

I laughed bitterly. I thought it was his fault, when it really was mine. But I can't go back for forgiveness now.

I jumped off the tree and walked to the mall, hoping that he was still there. I have to tell him sorry and goodbye.

I stopped halfway. He was there, looking very drunk. His arm was around a Botan-ish girl, who was giggling madly. I stared at him. He noticed me. "Hiei, you're still there?"

I glared. "Yes, and I hope you know that I didn't mean it literally when I told you to get drunk."

He stared at me as if I was a freak. "Sorry, Hiei, why don't you jump off a bridge and leave me alone?!"

He walked away, laughing loudly. I looked down, several tear gems falling to the floor. My eyes still wet, I said with hate and sorrow, "As you wish."

I ran to Genkai's temple, writing a note to my sister, Yukina. After all, this was going to be the last thing I'm going to do before I died.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kurama's POV

I was pacing in my apartment, still slightly dazed. What right did I have to talk to him as though I were some kid? Suddenly the doorbell rang. I lowered my eyes and opened the door.

I gasped. It was Yukina. Tear gems were flooding the floor. She looked up angrily. I could tell she was holding back her anger.

She looked up at me. "What did you tell my brother to do, jump off a bridge? Do you have a heart? He took you seriously, you know!!!"

I was shocked. "So Hiei told you that he was your brother?"

She handed me a note. I read it, my eyes widening. "Dear Yukina, I have a few confessions to make. First of all, yes, I do love Kurama, but he probably likes someone else. And second, these things called "pens" are so hard to use! Last of all . . . I am your brother. I thought that I should tell you this before I jumped off of the bridge, as Kurama told me to. I know that it sounds stupid, that he may have been joking . . . but there's no point to life if you get hurt all the time, is there? Hiei."

She looked at me accusingly. I said, confused, "I never met Hiei. I didn't even talk to him and I most certainly DID NOT tell him to jump a bridge."

Yukina told me, "The floor was flooded with tear gems. He's really hurt. I mean, he didn't even cry when his arm was severed."

I said, "It doesn't matter about that. We need to find Hiei, now!"

I added to myself, /It has to be Takimi. I can't believe Hiei would fall for it twice/

*~*~*~*~ Road to the bridge ~*~*~*~*

Hiei's POV

I saw a woman with long, dark blue hair pass me by. I snarled, "Takimi . . .!"

She grinned. "I don't believe Kurama, do you?"

I yelled, "Get away!"

She touched my shoulder. Frustrated, I ripped off my bandages, Warning, "Don't try me."

She laughed again. Angry, I cried, "DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!!!"

She melted in violet flames. Smiling triumphantly, she cackled. "Finally, we'll be reunited, Karasu my love!" (A/N Sicko!!! How could anyone love that . . . thing! She must need glasses ^_^)

My hands on my head, I ran to the bridge. On its sides, I whispered, "Here goes."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kurama's POV

I knew that Hiei would do as he said. Death wasn't something he was scared of. Leaving Yukina behind, I ran as fast as I could to the bridge. Along the way, I smelled Takimi's scent coming from a heap of ashes. I would have smiled if time wasn't an issue. Good, dependable Hiei.

He was already on the edge! I cried out, "Hiei!!!"

He turned back. I pulled him down. He thrashed in my arms, but I held onto him tight until he stopped fidgeting. My face buried in his back, I asked, "Why, Hiei?"

He didn't turn around, but he answered quietly, "You."

I looked up. "HOW COULD YOU FALL FOR TAKIMI'S TRICK TWICE?!!"

He fell to the floor, looking baffled. "You mean that was that heap of ashes?"

I grinned, trying to lighten the mood. I nodded. He hit himself three times on the head. "Stupid, stupid, STUPID . . ."

He hugged me back, saying, "Does this mean . . . I'm forgiven?"

I smiled. "Yes. And it means something else, too."

He guessed, "That all that mushy stuff I wrote to Yukina was for nothing?"

Laughing at his innocence, I shook my head. "No, Hiei. It means that I meant what I said to Yusuke. I love you, Hiei."

Right after I said that, he kissed me, saying quietly, "You're forgiven too, fox."

Suddenly, a male voice appeared. "What the hell?!"

I gulped. It was Kuwabara. Yukina looked half shocked, half happy. She had brought Kuwabara in case things didn't work out. Yukina smiled, throwing her arms out to catch Kuwabara as he fainted.

THE END

Sorry AGAIN to Jenny AND Jineka . . . *glare*
