Ch.7 Love triumphs over all!

Hi,how are you enjoying the story so far?For those of you who wanna know how Rini got to the makai forest...........I dunno...but you can make up something if you want.(This is just in case the last chapter didn't laod and you get to this one first.This is the last chapter so if you sees this one before the one titled "Close call",read that one first.)Ok bye!

The next morning,Hiei found another note left by Rini."Hiei,went to do some shopping.Be back later,Rini"."Hn.That won't work this time,rabbit.So he once again used his jagan to find her.When he found her,this time she was indeed shopping.But she hadn't bought anything when she came out of the store.She walked down the sidewalk for a minute or two.She then made a turn into a dark alley.The farther she went,the darker it got,untill finally there was an opening.She stopped and tapped her foot twice.Suddenly,a portal just big enough for her to pass through opened up underneath her and she fell through.

Before Hiei could even blink the portal closed from where it had once stood."Hn.What is she up to?"He asked no one.But he had a funny feeling inside.A feeling that made him feel that Rini was not safe."Hn she can get killed if she wants,I'm not here to babysit her"........sighHe put his bandana back on went to find her.(yet again)So he decided to go through the other portal to find her.

He searched for what seemed like days without any sign of her.After wnadering around aimlessly,he finally found a trace of her ki.He followed it through a scorching desert,a brutal blizzard,and lish green forest.The trail finally ended,and Hiei found himself in front of a huge castle."she must be somewhere in here".As he approached the door it began to open.He hesitated at first but then he walked towards the entrance.And after he had walked all theway in,the door slammed shut.Figuring it was useless just to ponder about it,he continued his search.

After walking for a while he cames towards two hallways."Welcome Hiei"."He heard a voice say.Who's there?"he yelled."My my,a bit touchy today aren't we?"The voice said.Who the hell are you?"Hiei said."My name is Naraku.I am a demon lord.I suppose you're looking for the girl"."Rini?""Yes the rabbit.Hiei started to walk towards one of the hallways."Now hold on there,you might want to think about where you're going",Naraku snickered."Why?",said Hiei.''Because, Naraku started,one of your choices leads you to the girl,and the other leads to your death".At this point Hiei just wanted to choke the bastard."Alright,where is she!?",Hiei demanded."She in the highest room,at the top of the castle.But first you have to choose the path that leads to her",Naraku said.Hiei slowley edged to the left,then the right.He still couldn't sense Rini's ki.He started walking towards the left hallway.Naraku just grinned."Fool".But before he could celebrate Hiei jumped back narrowly avoiding a trap."Hn,baka".He sneered."Damn,Naraku cursed to himself.This time hiei headed for the right.Don't think you've won just yet".Naraku said to himself. "You still have a long ways to go".

As Hiei walked deeper down the hall,he could feel a faint surge of ki."That must be Rini".But then there was a sudden rumbling.Hiei turned around to see what was going on.The floor was falling away!Using his lightning speed,Hiei dashed down the hall.When hefinally reached the end,he turned around to find that not one tile was left.When he turned around again there was a large staircase in front of him.Seeing that there was no other choice,he started up the stairs.

After climbing for what seemed like an eternity,he finally reached the top to find three doors."Well Hiei,I never expected you to get this far",he heard Naraku say.You're going to have to think extra hard on this one"."How come?"he asked.Two doors lead to certain doom while the other leads to the girl"."I'm getting tired of these games.Just tell me which door it is so I can slit your throat"."Just choose a damn door!"Naraku said impaitiently."Hn".

Hiei thought long and hard,but he just couldn't pick a door.Then suddenly he heard Rini scream.Hiei ran for the door in the middle,"I hope I'm right",Hiei said.He opened the door,and he was right.There in the corner of the room,Rini lay unconcious."Rini!"Then without warning,Naraku appeared in the middle of the room."I'm glad you showed up Hiei.I thought you'd never get here"."What did you do to her!?"Hiei yelled."Don't blame me.She's the one who barged into my castle and tried to kill me"."And what's wrong with that?",Hiei said while he un-sheathed his katana."Foolish boy,but let me ask you something before you die,why are you wasting your life on such a pathetic nigen girl?""Hn.That's none of your damn buisness"."Fool".Naraku said."I will kill you!"He held up his hand and formed a clud of miasma and poisonous insects and shot it at Hiei,but Hiei avoided it.Hiei charged at Naraku."Die!"

While they were engaged in combat,Rini slowly regained consiousness."Unn...what happened?"Her eyes shot open when she heared Hiei in pain."Hiei,how did he get here?,she thought to herself.Her body was mostly numb,so she could only watch in horror at the bloody battle.Naraku struck Hiei and he landed in front of Rini."Hiei!"He quickly got up at the sound of her worried voice."Are you alright?",he asked trying not to sound very concerned."Hiei",she said as she struggled to get up,"you have to get out of here".Not without you",he said.

By this time Naraku was enraged with not having killed Hiei."Fools!I will eliminated you both!"Hiei started at Naraku but suddenly dropped to his knees"Hiei!",Rini panicked as she ran toards him."Are you alright?"Don't worry about me just get out of here"."But..."Naraku charged at them."Die!"Get out of here Rini!"Hiei said.Naraku was mere feet away from them."Run!"Hiei yelled.When Naraku was just three feet away,Rini stepped in front of Hiei and yelled "NO!"RINI!",Hiei yelled but it was too late.She had taken the hit for him and was struck straight through the heart.Naraku went back to the middle of the room.

As her life flashed before her eyes,she dropped to her knees.Still very battle wounded,Hiei asked "Why...why did you do that?"Barely clinging on to life she answered,"because...I...lov..."But before she could finish she couldn't hold on any longer and dropped to the ground."Rini".

Hiei walked over to her.He knelt down and felt her heart.....There was no pulse."No..."Hiei got up slowly and stared coldly at Naraku."Hahahahahahaha!'Naraku laughed evily.Baka,onna,sacrificing her life for someone like you!"................."Monster.....""What?"Then in the blink of an eye Hiei was charging at Naraku."BASTARD!!!"

He tried to escape,but before he could even move,Naraku felt the sharp pain of Hiei's sword piercing his heart."Ugh...,you've defeated me..."He then disappeared in a cloud of miasma."Hn".But then he suddenly remembered Rini laying on the floor."Rini!",he yelled as he ran for her.

When he reached her,he picked up her frail body and just held her."Rini,please hang on",he whispered hoping to hear her say something.But it was too late.He could feel the last of her ki fading away."No..."There was no hope,the last of her ki had slowly left her.Hiei grew silent."Please Rini...don't leave me...ai...ai......aisheteru....."Then a single tear ran down his cheek,forming into a black tear gem.He had to accept the truth.She was gone.

He started to slowly lift her up and said,"Well,this is probably the only one you're going to ever get".And he carefully lifted her up and paused for a moment,and then kissed her lightly.As he started walking towards the door with her in his arms,he almost dropped her as her felt her body moving. "Mmm...",she mumbled."...Rini?'',Hiei said softly."...Hiei",she said as her eyes opened."Rini...I thought you gone..."Hiei...did you just kiss me?""Yes""And...did you just say that...you love me?""Yes,why?'Because",she said,"I love you too..."She then noticed the stream line from where Hiei's tear slid."Hiei,why were you crying?""Because I thought I lost you"........."iss me again"'What?"Before he could say anything else,she reach up and kissed him.They both gave a soft sigh.When their lips had parted they both sai softly to each other,"Aisheteru,forever".
