Death's Requiem Chapter Five: Peace

Kurama saw Hiei standing on the roof. "Hiei? What kind of stunt was that? What were you thinking?" He grabbed Hiei by the shoulders, and when receiving no answer, he looked at Hiei's face. It was deathly pale, his eyes were closed. He was breathing, and had a pulse, but not moving. "Hiei, wake up? Are you ok?" Kurama whispered. "What's wrong with you?" Tears suddenly fell form Hiei's eyes, and before they hit the ground, they turned into black teargems. Kurama picked them up, not knowing what to do. Hiei shuddered, covering his face with his hands, breathing heavily. "Are you ok?" Kurama asked again. Hiei turned, smiling sadly. "Not right now, but I will be-eventually." Kurama looked surprised. "It's all right, Kurama. I finally understand why I'm here." Hiei walked away, walking back to the hotel room. He stopped short of the door to the roof, thinking one last time of what Death had shown him. "So, I'm here to kill. I kill to protect. I kill to save. I kill so they don't have to know what it means to mourn. I can do that. I'll fight. I'll kill. To protect them." He smiled again, then turned back to Kurama. "Coming?" Kurama walked after Hiei, never knowing why Hiei would fight so hard. Only Hiei knew why, and he carried that knowledge with him to the grave.

Kill with me; Kill for the years; Kill for the laughter; Kill for the tears. Kill with me, just for today; Maybe tomorrow, Death will take you away.

That last paragraph was inspired by Aerosmith. Thanks for taking time to read this fic. Hopefully you don't go out and kill yourself to see if I'm right about death. It was out of my own head, and have no idea. See ya!
