Hikage had woke up very early in the moring. It had been so early that not even Hiei was up. Hikage had sat on the rim to the edge of the balcony and watched the sunrise. The burning colors of the sunrise complimented her hair for they both blazed a wild fire. Hiei had just woke up and thought he should check on Hikage so that Kurama didn't have to worry about her dying or being injured in the morning. Hiei entered the room and saw her sitting on the rim to the balcony and ran out to the balcony and said "What the hell are you doing?!" Hikage turned around and said "I wanted to see the sunrise. I figured since I had nothing else to do today this would be the most I could make out of it. I promise not to fall." Hiei saw her blushing and saw her wabeling. She had started to tip forward and faint off of the balcony when Hiei pulled her back and said " You idiot! You're sick aren't you!" Hikage then said "No, I just got up really early and still a little tired."
Hiei put his hand to her forehead and said "All lies, you know that Kurama will blame me if you fall off the balcony, now come inside." Hiei brought Hikage inside and laid her on the bed and tucked her in under the covers. He then said closing the balcony door to keep cold air from blowing in "You're such a stupid girl. Don't you ever think?"
Hikage then said "Maybe not. I guess you never know with me, huh." Hiei wanted to tare her mouth out right about now. She was still spitting back sarcasm and it was getting annoying to hear her spit back those kinds of words. Hiei then yelled at her and said "Shut up you demon of a girl! You are so annoying!"
Hikage then paused at his words and said in responce "Why is it you dislike me so very much?"
Hiei couldn't possibly begin to make her understand. He then yelled at her, saying "You spit lies and sarcasm at me. I hate yo because you're never serious about anything. Not even your own health. You've been given another chance to live and you use it to give yourself another chance to kill yourself! You're an insane girl with no real purpose in doing all the stupid things you do all the time!"
Hikage looked at him as if he had missed much more than he was telling her. she then said "It's because you feel like I'm taking Kurama away from you isn't it. You don't feel the same way, as I do about him, but he's your partner and you feel like you're drifting appart." Hikage understood it all very perfectly. She then said with a calm, yet firm voice "I will not break up with him because you refuse to accept our love. I will not break up with someone I love so very much."
Hiei was furious at this response and stormed to the door. Before he tore the door open he then said "Then let it be! Let your idiot fairy tale come true!" He slammed the door behind him. He stormed to the main room and realized that Kurama was there. He was ready to go already. Hiei then said "Let's go, Kurama." They walked out the door and to the stadium. Little did they know Hikage had followed them there hiding her face inside a cloak. When she got to the ticket collector he asked her for her ticket.
Hikage responded with "I have not one or any. Let me through. I have important buisness to discuss with a certain bidder." The ticket man then said "There are no acceptions. You must have a ticket to enter. Now I'm going to ask you one more time. Do you have your ticket?"
Hikage was getting tired of this game and said "Here's my ticket!" She punched him in th gut and the rest of the croud started rushing in while Hikage slipped through all the people and took her seat in the ver front row of the stadium. She wasn't watching the match. She had been thinking to herself, how very long it had been since she had felt so happy and loved.
At this point, Shishi had been forced out of Kurama's body by Kurama's powers.
It had been hours later when the tournament was all over and they got to have their wishes. They said that all told the team members had to be there. The team all looked at eachother as Hikage was missing and they told her to stay at the hotel. Hikage immediatly rushed over the edge and was now running toward the team. The body guards were called out to take care of the "crazy fan" as they called her. When they almost got a hold of her she stopped and let her cloak fall upon the ground. She then said with a dramatic voice "You will not lay your hands on me, for I have come to claim my reward." the guards had them backed away and let her continue to her team. When she got there, Hiei grunted as he thought he left her at the hotel. They all made their wishes and then it came time for Hikage's wish. She was going to wish for Hiei to be happy for her and Kurama, but then a thought struck her and she decided a different wish was in order. Hikage then said "I wish for something of the pureist kind. Something that can mold to anything of my likeing. Simple enought to carry by my own hand and Complex enough to change as my power does. I wish all of this to be put into one item of your choosing. I wish this!" A flood of light had appeared from her hands, unlike how the others recieved their's. It had blinded most all of the stadium. When the light cleared. There was a neclace with huge chains. There was a thin, cresent moon on it with orchids growing on the moon and a blood ruby filling in the empty space of moon that might be there in a full moon. It was just as her mother left it. The Coolan Crest, once belonging to her mother, and now passed down to her. It was said that a gang of pirates took it when they thought the whole family was killed. The light appeared only becasue it was a summoning wish. The wish was made into a poem shortly after her mother had made the wish. There was only one object like it and only her relatives could use it to their advantage. Hikage then put it on and the gem glowed for it has found it's rightful owner again.
When it was all over all the demons and people left the arena. The team was about to leave when he had just noticed, "Where did Kurama go?" The team shrugged their shoulders as, of course, they didn't know.
Hikage had asked to speak with Kurama and they went into one of the rooms in the staduim. Kurama was quite clueless at the ocassion. Hikage then said with an unwilling voice "I think...we should just be friends for now. I didn't tell you earlier, because I thought it would have been extra stress on ou in battle."
Kurama's face grew pale as he was quite shocked. his colors then started coming back to him as he smiled at her warmly and said "Whatever you think is best." The scene had faded out at that and returned to Hiei walked back to the hotel with the other guys. Kurama had caught up to them and run up beside Hiei. Kurama could tell that Hiei was angry. Hiei then said with an disgusted voice "Aren't you gooing to worry to me about where your sweet Hikage is?" Kurama's face was slightly smiling and slightly looking at regret as he remembered how wonderful Hikage had been "She broke up with me." Hiei's eyes widened as he was shocked. It was unheard of. Kurama then continued with "She said she'd meet us at the hotel. She said she was going to take a short cut or something."
A couple minutes later they got to the hotel room and Hiei had rushed to Hikage's room. When he saw her he settled down and closed the door behind him. He then said "Why did you break up with him?" Hikage had folded her last shirt and closed her suit case. She was quiet at first, but then said "I thought so very many times about what you said and I thought... that if I loved someone that much then it would be better if I didn't love them like that. Then they can't hurt me so very much. Kurama did nothing to hurt me, but I fear getting hurt and so I have decided to break up with him. I told you the story of my life and I can't afford to risk getting hurt anymore, not like that."
Hiei looked at Hikage's long hair falling like strings of death over her face and siad "What will you do now...that you have broken up with him? Will you be able to look at his face?"
Hikage gave him a regretful smile and said "I have also decided to be seperated from your team after the boat brings us home. For school I will not be in a school. I will be having a tutor of my choosing. I made a deal with Koenma to investigate his most dangerous mysteries." Hiei wondered what would happen to Kurama now that Hikage and him were going to be seperated. The thought was lingering in his mind like a cold chill of winter's coming. Hikage looked at Hiei's face as it grew blank in his thought of what could happen. Hikage had, but a hope in her mind that everything would be alright. Hikage's face grew dim in thought of a future where she wouldn't have to feel the hurt she felt. Her test had been post poned ntil she was ready once again. Hikage's face grew into a state of sudden jump and she then reached in her pocket for something she had almost forgot about. Hikage then said "I would like to give you something Hiei. You were the closest thing to a friend I'v ever had in many years and I want you to have this." What Hikage hadf pulled out of her pocket was a blueish sphere that you could see through almost as clear as one who looks into water and sees the bottom of the pond. It was about the size of a gulf ball. Hikage watched Hiei's awe as his stare was curious as to what it was exactly. Hikage had looked at him with an ominously happy smile that could only be mistaken for an evil demon and said "It is a good luck charm. It helps you when in dire need. I do not doubt your strength, but htere are many other things that wings of help could fly to. Now take it and be careful not to show it in public. It is a rare item that my father stole. It's the Feng Huang Charm. Very valuable, even priceless, so do not sell it either." Hikage walked out the door with her suit case and Hiei stood there without a sound.
Just minutes later they were all running on the beach to the shore to wait for the ship to arrive. As Hikage wait by the sea her hair freely blow in the wind as she would truly miss the shores of beauty. As her back shown to the hotel she had slept in all this time a dove appeared to her and she held up her finger and turned to the dove realizing there was a not on the leg. Sh put it on the grounfd and untied it with her delicate hands. The dove stay there as she open the note. She read it. The words were as clear as the eyes she see with:
Dear Hikage
I do very much regret the choice you made and yet now I understand why you niglect to answer my letters and let me find you. I have seen it in your eyes that you regret your decission as well, but I can only hope that the choices you make in this life will make you happy. I will continue to follow you in hiding for as long as I know where you are now. I would have liked it if you were happy more often, but you decide to hide yourself from the world. I have given you a pesent. It changes to whatever animal you like. It shares your thoughts. It is your demon.
Hikage then looked to the sun set and thought in her mind "Brother, there is a stronger power than spirit energy and weapons and I found out that love can concour all things that stand in your way and create a wall of friendship at your side..." __________________________________________________________________ This is not the end, but I had only figured that the end of the tournament needed an ending quote.
