One week later
Yukina smiled sweetly, pushing a strand of blue hair out of her soft face. Her hands returned to the counter, chopping up lotus roots gracefully. Steps in the next room grabbed her attention, as Hiei slid the kitchen door open and entered the room.
"Oniisan," Yukina said quietly, "lunch is almost ready! I'm making your favorite--"
"I won't be here."
"Nani?"
"I won't be here, Yukina." He looked away. "I'm going to some training grounds for the week...I won't be back for a while."
Yukina stood there, dumbfounded. Sliding open the door again, he left.
He's running away...She sighed, and returned to the roots. ...from...his heart...
-"I'm in love with him, Yukina..."- Kurama's voice echoed in her mind.
-"H-Hiei...I don't think he'll --"-
-"I know..He won't accept it. He'll hate me for it."-
Hiei...your mind is confused...
She scooped the vegetables into a bowl, and pulled out some fresh carrots.
But even a youkai's heart is never unclear.
Silence...I hate the silence. The Makai was always buzzing with the sounds of killing and suffering...but the silence found so easily in the Ningenkai is more painful than anything demonic.
Lifting his pen off his homework, a silent tear drifted down Kurama's face, one of many. Wiping it away, he sighed.
He didn't understand. For so long he had silently loved Hiei, knowing every day that Hiei would never feel the same way; That if he told the youkai he would never hear Hiei saying the same words back to him. Like a fact of life, he accepted it, however badly it ripped at his heart.
I can't take it anymore.
He stood up, watching the pen roll off the table.
I have to find Hiei.
Walking out on a confused Shiori, he sighed.
Pulling out the familiar katana, Hiei's Jagan glowed, focusing all his energy and power into the weapon. "Hyaa-UH!" He had leapt into the air, only for a great force to lash at him, knocking him back to the ground. Looking up, the Jaganshi frowned. "Where the hell...did you come from?!"
A youkai stood there, with large muscles and flame-red skin. He bared his teeth aggressively.
A Kyukonki...Hiei identified. "What do you want you baka?!"
"Feh," the demon chuckled. Grabbing Hiei by the collar of his shirt he lifted the Jaganshi up. "Traitor...you can be the first to die." He held a fist back. "FIRST I'LL RIP OFF YOUR UGLY!" He lashed at the youkai, who vanished.
"Are you so sure?"
"What the--?!" it snarled, staring at its empty hands in awe. Leaping up, Hiei slashed down his katana. "Gyaaah!" the demon cried. He painfully lifted up his bloody stumps for hands.
Hiei smirked.
Lowering his hands, the demon began grinning as well, laughing maniacally.
"Baka," Hiei remarked. "Do I need to cut off your head instead?!"
The demon laughed even harder. Shadows flared from the bloody stumps, forming new hands, leaving nothing but the dried bloodstains on his wrists.
Hiei's eyes widened. "You...you're Kage, the shape-shifter!"
Kage laughed. "Well, Forbidden Child? You've figured it out. Too bad you won't live long enough to see m true powers!" He held his hands out in a fighter's stance, ready to strike.
"Are you so sure?" said a familiar voice. "REI GUN!!" The reiki grew, its blue light blinding the youkai. With a great boom, it blasted toward him, and Kage crossed his arms, daring to deflect it. He was thrown back into a tree, crushing it under the might of the Rei Gun.
"You baka," Hiei muttered turning to Yusuke who lowered his hands. "Do you really think I can't defend myself from him?!"
"Well, sadly Hiei we're teammates. That means I have to risk my ass to save yours every time."
Hiei frowned.
Pulling himself up, Kage laughed. "Is that you all have, Reikai Tantei? (1) I'll admit it was more than I bargained for but it's still too weak."
Kuwabara jumped out from behind Yusuke. "Reiken!" he cried, and the golden sword materialized in his hands. "I'll take him on Urameshi!" he declared. Bolting at the demon, he thrust his sword through the youkai's abdomen. Blood splattered on his face.
Kage choked slightly, then, grinning again, his wounds healed as quickly as they were inflicted.
"No way!" Kuwabara cried. With a swift slash of Kage's hand, Kuwabara was thrown back, knocked out.
"KUWABARA!" Yusuke cried, running to his teammate.
What was that I just heard?!Kurama asked himself. Several birds, scared by something, alit into the air nearby. Such reiki...there's battle nearby...His eyes narrowing, he ran onward.
Yusuke looked up, his face red with anger. "Youma! You'll pay for that!"
Kage grinned, and thrusting his arm out it morphed into razor-sharp tentacles, spiralling toward Yusuke with grim precision. Scooping up his fallen comrade, he bolted out of the way, barely dodging.
Kurama emerged from the woods into the clearing. Seeing the monster, he stifled a gasp. "It...it can't be...Kage?!"
"Hiei, look out!" Yusuke cried.
Hiei turned to it...the same tentacles were zooming at him, too close...he had to move quickly...
"HIEI, MOVE!" Kurama leapt at him, shoving the Jaganshi over.
Hiei...you saved me once...and now it's my turn to repay the favor...He smiled grimly. There was a sickening slash as the attack ripped through his stomach. The red of blood stained his magenta uniform. There was a thud as he fell to the ground, then all was still.
"KURAMA!!" Hiei cried.
(1) Umm...I dunno if Reikai Tantei means Spirit Detective...care to fill me in?
A/N: Kage...a very pathetic demon I created for this story...at the time, I thought it was a good idea, but now...::snorts and laughs herself to death:: Gomen ne...::giggles:: I lurve criticizing my old work...::snorts:: Ano...review? Final chapter will be up tomorrow if my teachers, once again, don't give me too much homework. GET YOUR CANDLES AND PRAY FOR KURAMA!!!

Kitsune Kit - EEP!!! ::throws a rock at the capital letters only to miss horribly and run away screaming::
Ryoko - ::smiles:: Thanks, but actually, either way is correct. The most correct spelling would be Youkou. It's because, translated literally, an 'o' is spelled 'ou'...the u is silent. It's weird, but makes sense. "Youko" just looks good to me so I spell it like that. Thanks tho!
Tifa16 - Thankies
