Disclaimer: Disclaimer's are so boring, so let's get to the story. Besides, you already know I don't own YYH by use of common sense! So why should I have to repeat! On to the story!

They came out to the barrier on the other side of the portal, each of them desperate to finish things quickly.

As it was, they probably only had two minutes left, and they were running out of time.

"Come on Suta. You have to touch the barrier." Kurama insisted, pointing to the pinkish shade of the falling divider of human and demon worlds.

The sky was dark over head, and the full moon glowed brightly, almost menacingly over them.

Shadow was right. The sky did darken as the barrier began to fall.

Suta stood up for a moment staring at the sight before her.

She saw it with an understanding, with a familiarity that seemed unusual in her eyes.

She knew this barrier.

Of course, she had never seen it...but she felt it's energy...and it was the same as her own.

It was familiar to her.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a dagger flew from behind them and stabbed Suta deep in the back, causing her to collapse on the ground from shock.

Instantly, Hiei was at her side, holding her up as he glared at the wound.

Then he turned his attention to where it had come from.

Amazingly, Shadow was still standing there, looking like hell, but still standing.

He held his neck in pain and blood drained down around his lips, like tiny streams of water from a bucket that has too much.

"Like hell I'm going to let you win!" he announced, pulling a blade up that they hadn't seen before. "I'm going to kill all of you! You'll never fix the barrier!" He screeched.

"Does this guy ever die?!" Yusuke hollered, taking a fighting position.

Hiei was ready to fight again, only Kurama held him back.

"You have fought enough Hiei. It is our turn. Make sure Suta touches the barrier." Then, with out another word, the fox jumped forward and joined the fight with Yusuke and Kuwabara at his side.

The three had really wanted to beat him, and now he had his chance.

"Stupid fox." He whispered, before returning his attention to Suta.

Of course, he couldn't leave the dagger in her back , and upon pulling it out, was disgusted to find an over flow of blood, pouring onto the ground.

"Hiei..." She whispered, her eyes half open.

They look glazed and far off...almost dead...

"Don't speak Suta...You have to touch the barrier."

"Hiei...I'm glad I met you...and I'm sorry I didn't believe you before...about your sister. My uncle told me about her and why you lied to me." She coughed on some blood, and clenched his shirt in her hands as she spoke.

"You knew...."

"Yes...he told me everything...about my family...about you and your sister...He insisted that I would never talk to you again...but I didn't believe him...I never believed him...Hiei...I'm sorry for everything...I did to you...for how I didn't trust you...please...forgive me..."

Her voice trailed off and Hiei found himself pulling her away, to stare at her face.

Her eyes were closed, and she wasn't breathing.

"No...! No you can't die! The barrier hasn't fallen yet! You should still be living! Suta...please don't leave me! Suta..." He picked her hand up and pressed it against the barrier, hoping that it would save her...perhaps give her her life back...

But her eyes remained closed, and her body still...

She was gone...

That was it...

Hiei pulled her close to him, and didn't even care when two perfect red drops fell from his eyes, crystallizing on the ground.

"Suta...Suta...don't leave...I forgive you...how could I not...? Suta...please come back...I...I love you..." and he closed his eyes in pain.

It was strange...

He felt...almost as if the dead weight in his arms wasn't dead ...

He felt a brilliance radiating from her body, and when he opened his eyes he found it glowing...glowing brightly like the sun itself...with just the same white light...

Hiei let go of her body, and watched in awe as it floated up, and then stood up, parallel to the barrier itself, all in mid-air. .

A thin white line slowly slunk out of her chest and into the barrier, growing as the barrier thickened and her body glowed brighter.

The light was so brilliant in fact, that they all had to hide their eyes from the sight, including Shadow, who was beaten even worse now that he had decided to intrude on their group.

But when the light began to fade, Hiei found himself looking up, hope radiating in his eyes that Suta was still alive.

Of course, after that show, she had to still be alive.

She floated down softly, gliding gently like a cherry blossom that had lost it's branch.

When her feet found the floor, she slowly drifted backward, taking a lying position in mid-air.

Hiei stretched out his arms, in order to catch her as she landed.

Everyone else stared on in awe, as they witnessed the beautiful sight.

It was finished, and they had done it.

They had saved the human world, along with beating a powerful foe and finish a dangerous case.

When gravity finally put it's full affects on Suta's body, it sagged into his arms, and her head rolled over to rest on his shoulder.

Hopeful, Hiei reached up to her face, and swept some of her shiny black hair from her eyes.

He hoped she was still living...

She had to be...

Upon the feeling of his touch...her pretty blue eyes opened...now speckled with a hint of gold Hiei had never seen in them before.

"Good morning." She replied with a smile.

"Good morning." Hiei returned, copying the look on her face. "How do you feel?"

"Wonderful. There's no more pain."

Hiei had to take a look at her back just to make sure, and found the stab wound gone with out even so much as a scar.

She was alive!

It had to be a miracle.

"Hiei...?"

"Yes."

"You want to know something wonderful?"

Hiei nodded, fighting hard to keep the tears of joy from his eyes.

"You know what I told you in Koenma garden, about the fireflies. Well I was a firefly. It only lasted a second or so...but I was a firefly, and I was leading everyone out of darkness. I even glowed and floated like one!"

Hiei shook his head and hugged the woman he loved so firmly he thought that her bones should have cracked.

But when he let go, she looked up at him with the same radiance she always had and smiled.

"And you know what? I heard what you said, and I love you to."

Catse: Isn't this just sooooooooo sweet! I thought so. Hell, if I keep the reader on and on about a love story, I just have to have a good ending right? The next chapter continues a little bit, but it's sort of short. Well, I better get to updating it right? Ja Ne!
