Ceres: *sniff* The next few chapters will be a bit angsty... *sniff* And also a bit sad... *cries* Oh darnit, I can't keep it in anymore! Okay so a few people are going to die here and there but... it won't be the main characters.

Kurama: *pats her back* It's ok...

Ceres: No it's not! Just... do the disclaimer, please...

Kurama: Ceres does not own Yu Yu Hakusho.

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

Karasu looked at Kei and mouthed five words "Goodbye, sister... I love you..."

Karasu fell and another wave of tears burst from Kei's eyes. The only one in her family left had just died in a fight against the one she loved. She felt lost and alone. She ran up to Kurama once she heard Koto announce Karasu's loss. He stood up on his own and she threw herself in his arms, weeping in his chest. Kurama held her onto him. They stood there, not minding the annoyed audience yelling at them to leave the arena. She took one last look at her late brother, who was now a flower, and helped Kurama off the arena. When she reached the team, she looked at Yusuke and said "I'm going to treat Kurama's wounds. If I'm not back by the time your fight starts, then keep in mind that I wish you luck."

Yusuke nodded and she continued to help Kurama to the locker room. When she got there, she laid Kurama down on one of the benches and got some bandages and herbs for his wounds. She gently removed his shirt and cleaned his wounds. He looked up at her and said sadly "I'm sorry, Kei... I didn't mean to cause you such pain..."

She put a finger to his lips as to tell him to stop. A few tears fell but that was it, she had no more tears. "It's alright. This is the way Karasu wanted it to end and I honor his decision. It's not your fault, its Toguro's. He's the one that separated us in the first place. Don't regret this fight. It was his last wish that you defeat him."

Kurama understood and she continued to dress his wounds. When she returned to his shirt, she found a piece of paper between the ripped folds of the clothe. She took it out and unfolded it. It read:

To Kurama and my sister,

I thank you for relieving me of my wretched life. Kurama, I'm guessing that you would like some explanations? I will explain everything so I can save my sister from some painful memories. Kei and I used to live in peace with our family, that was many years ago, about 150 at the most. One day, a strange man came to us and said he had to talk to our parents. We brought him to them, thinking that he would not harm them, and left them alone in a room. When the man came back out, we found our parents dead. Kei and I fled to escape the terrible pain that the man had inflicted upon us. 100 years later, another man came to us and demanded to see me. Unbeknownst to the both of us, it was Toguro. He asked to fight me and I accepted. Kei watched from the sidelines as Toguro and I battled. I lasted quite a while but he had me. I was exhausted and he wasn't even breaking a sweat. I had no chance, he could have killed me with one attack if he wanted to but he offered that I train with him. He said that I had the potential to get stronger and if I joined him, I would be strong enough to protect Kei and I. Naturally; I asked if Kei could come, but he refused. I hesitated but realized that it would be best. That decision was my worst. Ever since then, Kei and I have been separated. Kurama, please, take care of my sister. Kei, I'm sorry and I thank you for helping me find a great opponent like Kurama. Stay strong and live without the burdens and pains of your past. Goodbye.

Best wishes and blessings,

Karasu.

Kurama read the letter from over her shoulder as she wept. Kei turned around and buried her face in his chest again. The tears had returned. Kurama comforted her as best he can. When the tears were gone, Kei decided to watch Yusuke fight. She helped Kurama walk out to the arena and they found the arena in pieces, Yusuke ground sliding towards the wall and Toguro standing there with a smug grin on his face. Everyone looked above Toguro to see Puu flying towards Yusuke.

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

We all know how the conversation between Yusuke and Genkai goes right? Right... Well, I'm not going to type it up because I can't waste time, I have NJPASS tomorrow.

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

When Genkai and Yusuke were finished, Toguro decided to kill one of Yusuke's friends and turned to face Team Urameshi and Kei. Kei couldn't take it anymore. She had love and pain. The two just couldn't mix. She wanted all of this to end now. But she knew how all of this would end. And knowing Genkai, she's messing with other people's minds, just like Toguro. With her bangs shadowing her eyes, Kei stepped up and said "If you must, kill me Toguro..."

Everyone stared at her in disbelief, even Genkai. Then she heard Kurama, Touya, Jin, and Yusuke yell "Kei, don't do it!"

Kurama was frozen on the spot. Yusuke was panicking as well as Touya and Jin. Kei just walked slowly towards Toguro and said "You separated my brother and I, you ruined my life, and caused me much pain. For all those things, you are guilty and I can never forgive you. All this pain... it has to end. Kill me know."

Toguro smirked and walked up to her. He brought his fist back and thrust it towards her. It hit her hard right under her left breast, barely missing her heart. She looked up at Yusuke and said weakly "Yusuke, I leave the rest to you...Don't let him... win... I trust... you with... all my being..."

And with that, Kei collapsed on the floor and Toguro disappeared from her side. Kurama finally found the strength to walk and run towards his fallen love. He picked up Kei in his arms and buried his face in her neck, weeping. She opened her eyes and said "Ku... ra... ma..."

Kurama didn't look up and just said "Don't you ever, ever scare me like that again..."

~*~*~*~*~*

Ceres: I'll leave it at that. For now, I have to go to bed before my mom starts yelling at me. Damn testing tomorrow...

Kurama: Review, please.
