The Inevitable

The sun is setting. Kurama's pale features are quite noticeable. He looks so peaceful lying in that coffin. Yusuke and Kuwabara have already died long ago. Yukina has gone back to the Koorime island since she gave up looking for her brother. Genkai passed away naturally a couple years after the defeat of Sensui.

Hiei is the only one left. He is standing at the back of the room, watching Kurama's wife, children, and relatives mourn. How little they know of their beloved Suiichi {sp??}! Hiei thought.

Hiei feels that his life is now full of loneliness. He does not cry – he cannot cry here in front of all these humans. He exits and races to the heart of the woods, where he can cry as much as he wants.

He lets out a strangles sob and shook violently, black pearls hitting the soft dirt noiselessly. Kurama was his best friend. And now he is gone. Never had he been so sad about a death.

As more tears came, he thinks, I can't live on any more. Taking his final breath, he ends the life of the last member of the Reikai Tentai {sp??}.

Don't ask me why I made Hiei die. I'll do it myself. "WHY DID YOU MAKE HIEI DIE, YOU BAKA?!?!?!" blinks "WHY DID I JUST YELL AT ME?!?!?!?!?"

Oh, and once again, sorry for the shortness...think of it as a half-poem half-story fic!!!
