I don't own YuYu Hakusho
I only own Jenn and Neko and my friend owns Keannae.
~~~~~~~Is This Really the End?~~~~~~~ Chapter 2
"Oh, man, oh man, it's great to go back!"
"I know. I wonder how the others would react if they saw us."
"I wonder if the baka took care of my sister."
Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei were leaving the Makai to go back to Ningenkai and greet their friends. Kurama was walking in the lead. Yusuke and Hiei were in the back. Yusuke was teasing Hiei about Kuwabara marrying Yukina. Kurama stopped suddenly, causing Yusuke to bump into him, and Hiei watching Yusuke fall to the ground.
"Hey, Kurama!" Yusuke shouted while getting back up. "Why'd you stop?"
"Ou...our...our h-homes..."
Yusuke and Hiei looked up and gasped. Instead of seeing many houses and buildings and people walking around, they saw bricks and stones, and broken pieces of buildings and houses on the ground. There was no car or any other vehicle on the street. No one was walking on the roads or sidewalks or anywhere. From what they saw, it looked as if there really was no one else there.
"Wha-What h-h-happened...?" Yusuke stuttered.
"I don't know!" Hiei said.
Kurama looked around at the place in horror. He, Yusuke, and Hiei had not changed, but their homes and friends had. How long had it been since they left? He was sure they were gone for only a couple months. Or was it longer?
"Yusuke," Kurama said, "how long have we been gone?"
"I don't know," Yusuke said. "Hiei?"
Hiei shrugged. "I didn't really care about keeping track of how long we've been gone."
"We have to look for the others," Kurama said seriously. He sniffed the air, hoping he would find Jenn's, his mother's, or any of his friends' scent, but was unsuccessful. He sighed and looked back at Hiei. "Do you think you could use your Jagan eye to find someone?"
Hiei nodded. He took off his bandana, and his Jagan eye opened. It glowed red and looked around. After a while, it stopped glowing. "No one," he said.
Yusuke looked around. "I can't see anyone either. Guess we better look around, huh? Follow me!" Yusuke began walking and Kurama and Hiei followed him.
"Do you even know where we're going?" Kurama asked.
"Nope! No idea!" Yusuke said.
Kurama and Hiei sighed, but continued following him.
"Hm?" Yusuke stopped walking. Kurama and Hiei did the same. "I think I saw something move," Yusuke said, looking around.
Kurama sniffed the air and smelled a familiar scent, but wasn't really sure. Hiei had covered his Jagan with his bandana and looked around. He and Kurama didn't sense anything, though. But Yusuke did.
"Hiei, look out!"
Hiei quickly looked around and saw something jump out of the shadows and pounce at him. He was about to jump away, but whoever it was was now on top of him. The person was wearing a black cloak and had a hood on, so the face wasn't visible. Whoever it was looked like he wanted to kill Hiei. The only thing that was visible were his fangs.
Hiei was about to draw his sword, but Kurama had pulled a rose from his hair and turned it into a whip. He whipped the one who was on top of Hiei, but he jumped off so Hiei was the one would get whipped. Hiei quickly rolled out of the way.
"Watch it!" he shouted at Kurama.
"Sorry!" Kurama apologized.
"Spirit gun!" Yusuke used his technique and hit the hooded figure. He hit the wall and fell to the ground. His hood fell off, but his hair covered his face. Wait...Her hair covered her face.
"That's a girl!" Yusuke yelled in surprise.
The girl's hair was long, like it wasn't cut for a very long time, and was light blue. On top of her head were blue cat ears. And from under her cloak, there was a tail.
Hiei, Yusuke, and Kurama ran over to the girl. Hiei moved some of the girl's hair away from her face and behind her ears.
"Keannae!" Hiei gasped.
Kurama and Yusuke just stared at the girl. "Keannae?" the two asked. "She looks older."
Hiei gently shook her awake. She let out a groan and opened her eyes. She couldn't see anything because everything was blurry. But when the person in front of her became clear, she gasped.
"H...Hiei...?" she whispered.
"Yes, yes, it's me..." Hiei whispered back to her.
Keannae's eyes became teary. She hugged Hiei and cried. "Hiei! It's really you! I thought you'd never come back!"
"Uh..." Hiei hugged her back, blushing.
"Hey, Keannae..."
Keannae looked at who was behind Hiei, Yusuke and Kurama. She stopped hugging Hiei, got off the ground, and walked over to Yusuke, and hugged him.
"Yusuke..." she whimpered. "You guys scared me..."
"Uh..." Yusuke looked at Keannae in confusion.
"Keannae," Kurama said, "could you tell us why you did that?"
Keannae stopped hugging Yusuke and looked at Kurama. "Attacking you guys?" she asked. "Sorry about that. Come with me. Then I'll explain everything...no matter how much I don't want to..." Keannae began to walk.
Hiei, Yusuke, and Kurama followed her.
"Could you tell us what happened?" Yusuke asked.
"Sure," Keannae answered, still walking. She stopped in front of a two- story house. "We're here." Keannae walked into the house. The boys followed her.
"Neechan!" A little girl with gold hair and blue eyes ran up to Keannae and jumped in her arms. Keannae caught her and hugged her.
Hiei, Yusuke, and Kurama stared at the little girl and Keannae in confusion. "Sister?" the all said in unison.
Keannae looked back at the boys, still holding the little girl, and smiled. "I told you I'll explain everything. Follow me." She continued walking down one of the halls, still carrying the girl. She opened one of the doors and went in. The boys went in also. Keannae placed the girl on the bed and sat with her.
"Sit on the couch," Keannae said to the boys.
The boys sat on the couch. "Okay, Keannae," Yusuke said, "who is that? Why'd she call you sister?"
"Her?" Keannae pointed to the girl that was sitting with her on the bed. "She's Neko. Well, that's her nickname. And she is not my sister, but she just likes to call me her sister."
"What's her real name?" Kurama asked. "Is she a demon?"
"We don't know her real name," Keannae said sadly. "She said she doesn't remember her real name, so that's why we call her Neko. And no, she's not a demon, she's a human."
"Why is she with you? And who's 'we'?"
"'We' are the ones who have no more homes. And there are very few of us. This whole house is what gives us shelter. Neko's is one of those who lost their homes. I found her and took care of her."
The boys nodded. "Keannae," Kurama said, "could you tell us what happened while we were gone? And what happened to the others?"
Keannae looked away. Neko sat on her lap, and Keannae hugged her. "Well..." Keannae said. "Do I really have to tell you?"
"Yes, please."
Keannae sighed. "Okay...Well, when you guys left, we didn't feel... complete. Or, right. We just didn't feel right without you. But we waited, and we waited, and we waited. A couple years passed, you guys are still not here. You guys didn't even contact us!
"Then we wait a couple more years. Shizuru is waiting with Jenn, Keiko, Kuwabara, Yukina, and me. But then Shizuru just tells us to give up 'cause you guys are dead, but we still have faith. So Shizuru just...walked away...
"Then another year passed by. And, Kurama...Your mother...died of an illness..."
"What...?" Kurama stared at Keannae in horror. "But..."
"It was an illness that she carried a couple years after you left...She thought you were dead, and she kept mourning your death, no matter how hard Jenn tried to calm her! Shiori had enough...She just...died.
"That same year...She stood in front of your house and waited there. She refused to move from that spot. Then these people came by. Jenn was the only one who was living in your house, so she was to pay for it. She didn't have much money though, and she didn't know where you and your mom put the money to pay for your house was. The house was destroyed, but Jenn still stayed in her spot, the spot that was in front of your house. She stayed there, not wanting to move. She didn't eat a thing unless Keiko, Yukina, Kuwabara, or I brought it to her. One day, she refused to eat, then...she died. She had asked us to bury her body in that spot and to leave this envelope taped on top of her coffin..."
Kurama just stared at Keannae, not believing what she had said. But it was true. It was no lie...
"Jenn said her ghost would haunt the place your house use to be," Keannae said. "She said that when you come back, she'd see you there..."
Kurama didn't want to move. He just closed his eyes, doing his best to hold back his tears. But nothing...nothing worked. He began to cry.
"Then after two years, we were ready to give up hope. But Yukina told us to have faith. That we must still believe that you guys would come back. Then Keiko decided to go to her house, just for a while to see how everything was doing. And I think that on her way back, something happened to her. She was never seen again..."
Yusuke was struck with horror. "No...Keiko..." Yusuke put his face in his hands and did his best not to cry. "Dammit...Keiko..."
Keannae continued. "Two years...you guys aren't back. Kuwabara and Yukina get married."
"What?!" Hiei shouted, scaring Neko a bit. "I'm going to kill that baka for marrying my sister!"
"I don't think you could do that," Keannae said. "One year...You guys still aren't here. An army of demons suddenly come by and attacks our homes. Only Kuwabara and I could protect them. Kuwabara had told Yukina to look for shelter so she wouldn't get hurt...or killed. So Yukina ran off and hid somewhere. Kuwabara and I fought the demons until we had enough. Kuwabara died an honorable death in battle...By saving my life...He even saved Yukina's life...
"I was the only one left. And I knew I couldn't fight them all. So I dragged Kuwabara's body somewhere I thought no one would come to. I buried his body there and ran off. I hid. I was afraid to go back out and fight. So...I stayed in the shadows...I hid there and waited for Yukina...but she never came back..."
Hiei was the one who felt like he wanted to cry now. His sister...dead. His sister's savior...dead. There was no way he could repay the savior. The one he treated like dirt, was the one who saved his sister's life.
"I didn't even tell her..." Hiei said to himself. "...who I am...And I didn't even thank Kuwabara, her savior...for keeping her happy..."
Black tears began to roll down Hiei's cheeks and turn into black gems. "Damn, Hiei..." Hiei coughed. "Why didn't you tell her...Why didn't you thank him..."
Keannae looked away and continued. "The demons had left our home since they said that it was nothing but rocks. But they were why our homes were now like this. When I was sure they were all gone, I came out of my hiding place. There were very few lives left. Even a house can shelter us all. Then I decided that...Since I was the strongest out of everyone else left, I was to protect them...So I changed into my other form.
"Many people thought I was an angel for the heavens to protect them, so I let them believe what they wanted to believe. But after a while, I told them I was a cat demon who had lost all her friends and was now alone, but they still said I was an angel who would live on forever.
"Even if many years have passed, you guys must wonder how I still look young. I'm a demons...But I wonder...You guys are in human form...How do you guys look so young?"
The boys had wiped away their tears. Yusuke shrugged. "I...I don't know how we still look like this. But it only felt like a couple months when we were in the Makai."
"No wonder why," Hiei said as calmly as he could.
Kurama nodded. "Yes, I just remembered. Ningenkai's time goes faster than the Makai's time. A couple days could be a couple weeks. A couple weeks, a couple months. And a couple months could be a couple years..."
Keannae nodded. "So that's why you guys are still young." She chuckled. "I'm even older than Yusuke..."
"What?!" Yusuke shouted, making Neko, who was still sitting on Keannae's lap, jump. "How long were we gone?"
Keannae sighed. "I don't know exactly...but I know...over forty years..."
The boys looked at her in shock. More than forty years...That's how long they've been gone?
"Keannae..." Kurama said. "Could you tell us...where our friends have been buried?"

Ningenkai = Human World
Okay...It's getting weirder huh? Kurama, Yusuke, and Hiei...crying. Weird. Well, just to say, Yusuke and Keannae are half brother and sister. But Yusuke doesn't know that. Only Keannae does. Please review!
