~ Chapter 16~

Hiei raced through the woods.

'I need to get away from her I need to think, why she DID THAT' he thought as he stopped at a lake sitting on a dead log he rested his head in his hand and sighed.

'Damn you woman' he thought as he threw a stone into the water.

'How is this, I mean I saw her die I saw the blood and there is no doubt she hates me' he thought as he threw another.

"Your right" she said interrupting his thoughts.

"I do hate you, but that as nothing to do with why I did what I did" she said shocking him as she sat next to him on the log.

He forced himself not to look at her, she looked at him quickly and then back at the lake.

"You know" she started.

"Im not alive" she said making him look at her and then force himself to look the other way.

"Im a spirit Hiei, I only came back tonight to say my goodbyes, rather we be on good terms or bad I came to tell you to move on" she said throwing a stone watching it skip down the lake.

"So you're never coming back" said Hiei looking away.

"That's right, luckily for you that means you can forget about me and start making a new"

"HN"

"Look" she said grabbing his face in her hands and forcing him to stair into her eyes.

'Damn those eyes' he thought as she looked into his crimson gaze.

"I want you to move on I need you to move on ,my time here ends in two minutes please just do me this one favor and vow that my name will never race across your mind again" she said taking him by surprise.

He stared in utter surprise.

"PROMISE ME" she yelled.

"Alright fine" he said tearing away from her grasp.

"Baka" he said looking away.

She smiled 'well I guess this is the last time I'll ever do this so' she turned his head and took him by surprise with a kiss.

He didn't protest, they just sat there in complete silence, he had, had enough of playing nice, and he moved in closer and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist, lifting her into his lap, making the kiss more passionate the wind whipping through her hair.

She let go oh his lips and much to his protest and moved her head to his ear, "I will always love you Hiei" and with that she disappeared with the wind, and left a lilac rose in his possession instead.

The team entered to find a sleeping Ross, her head underneath her pillow, the kittens sleeping soundly in her lap.

Kurama sat on the balcony deep in thought, When Hiei landed beside him.

"I see she talked to you" said Kurama as he watched Hiei pocket the rose in his grasp.

"HN" he sat down beside his best friend, "So uh how did it go?" asked Yusuke.

Hiei looked at him as he and Kuwa pulled up a chair, "She's gone that's all that matters" he said.

"Sorry to hear that man she was pretty hot" said Kuwa getting a sword to his throat.

"Don't even say it" said Hiei as he lowered his sword.

"Geeze talk about protective," said Kuwa.

"HN, right like I care about that bitch you should see her brother" he said looking over at Kurama.

"Youko killed a man just because he looked at her wrong" he said making Kurama sweat dropped.

"I did no such thing" he said defending himself.

"Oh yes you did I know I was clean up duty" he said making Kurama sweat.

"Oh lets not even talk about what you've done"

"What I've done" said Hiei raising his voice.

"Now children" said Yusuke as they settled down.

"If it wasn't for her we would have never met" said Hiei looking the other way.

"I should thank her" said Kurama making Hiei look at him and then take off into a distant tree.

"Really?" said Yusuke looking at Kurama.

"We weren't always friends" said Kurama as he went into the hotel, leaving them in wonder.
