Hello. Long time no write, right? Well, school starts on Monday.... Go me? I've been bored all Summer anyway..... Gomen nasai that I'm not perky today.... I just haven't been feeling well, my frickin' sister is pissing me off day by day. I pretty much haven't talked to her for a month. Oh well. We're not really full blooded sisters anyway. Okay, onto the story....

Will this war ever end?

Night had passed quickly, everyone slept silently, except Huyana. Her thoughts kept her awake all night. She felt like she was about to burst... Why couldn't she just have lived a good life? No pain, no torment, no death. But as Hiei once told her:

There is no person who does not carry scars on their heart.... If there ever was, that person would be a shallow bastard.

"He's right..... Everyone carries scars on their heart one way or another...." She thought to herself.

Someone then awoke, Huyana could hear them walking towards her, she sat in the main room of the temple, her knees curled up against her chest with her head resting against them.

"Huyana?" She heard a soft voice say.

Kurama. She thought, she knew that soft sweet voice of her crush anywhere.

"Hey, Fox-boy. Why up so early?" She asked looking towards him with tired eyes.

"That should be my question." He replied.

"Man, I haven't been to sleep." She said standing up and stretching her small body.

"What? You've been up all night?" He asked, sounding a little worried.

"That's what I meant by I 'haven't been to sleep'." She shot back sarcastically.

"Huyana... You could get very ill by doing that. Being an insomniac is very bad for you. Not even Hiei is one." He said sadly, was he actually worried about her?

"Listen fox-boy, there have been times where I haven't gone to sleep for weeks on end. I turned out okay. I'm fine..." She said sadly as well.

"I know your not well about this whole Kashi ordeal... you have to let it go." He said starting to walk over to her slowly.

"Do you really think it's that easy? Tell me, how easy was it for you when Kuronue died?" She asked glaring at him.

"What? How could you ask? I was traumatized greatly..." He stated clearly, looking to the floor.

They were only inches apart, Huyana starred at him sadly again, letting her glare down.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean it that way, Kurama..." She said lowering her eyes. "I'm just really upset.... I had hoped I could be at peace again, if even only for a little while..." She said in a melancholy voice.

Kurama looked up at her, she looked so perturbed. Her Reiki felt so low at the moment, she could be mistaken for a human. He gasped lightly when she fell to her knees and started to cry, tear gems hitting the floor with each sob.

"Huyana...." He said kneeling down and hugging her tightly. "It's alright... It's okay to cry...." He whispered to her.

"Have you killed her yet?" A deep voice asked.

"No sir, I haven't been able to yet." Said the firm voice of Kashi.

"What?! You should've killed her already!! Is she that hard of a target?!" The voice raved.

"No sir. With her brother and friends protecting her now, I have no chance." Kashi said not taking his eyes off the floor.

"How strong could these friends of her's be? And just who is her 'brother'? I thought you were. Unless your thinking of betraying me....?" It asked, growling lightly.

"No. Her real brother. As you know, she was adopted into my family. Do you even know who her new friends and protectors are?" Kashi demanded silently.

"Pray tell." The voice said sarcastically.

"Her brother, Jaganshi Hiei..." He started to say, but was cut off.

"Jaganshi Hiei?! He's her brother?!"

"Yes. And one of her friends, is the former, Youko Kurama." He said again.

"Y-Youko Kurama? The infamous thief?" The voice asked nervously.

"The one and only." Kashi answered.

"This isn't good..... Figure out a way to kill her. She needs to be killed for the better of our family." He said disappearing.

"Yes sir..." Kashi said walking to the buildings exit. "Uncle Sian."

".... Shouldn't we be looking for that low life bastard, Kashi?" The now bored and transformed Yuka interrogated.

"Patients is a virtue Yuka. We must wait until Huyana is ready. She has a lot to think about." Kurama stated firmly to his kitsune sister.

"Alright, alright....." She sighed and looked up at the blue sky and clouds.

"I.... I'm ready." Said a voice from the temples entrance.

Everyone looked up, Huyana stood there looking rather depressed. She looked broken mostly.

"Are you sure your up to this, Huyana?" Hiei asked.

"No. I'm not sure. But I know what I have to do in order to obtain peace. I can't have everything I want, I'd rather save this world, then save a lost memory." She said sadly walking away from the temple.

"Not that I'm disagreeing or anything, but... Does she even know where Kashi is?" Yuka questioned.

"I believe, somehow she does." Kurama replied.

They all followed her silently as she walked through the forest. They arrived at a large building, called: Akuu Inc.

"This is it. This is where Kashi, and Sian are." Huyana stated firmly.

"Sian? Who's Sian?" Yuka asked.

"Sian is Kashi's uncle. Ritoi's brother. Kashi works for Sian, as an assasin." Huyana continued.

"And you know this..... How?" Yuka asked sarcastically, getting hit in the head by Kurama.

She glared up at him, noticing a golden tint in his eyes, she instantly shut up and looked back to Huyana.

"I know, because I saw. I followed him last night.... Without him knowing.. I arrived here." She said. "Now.... It's time to settle this, once and for all." She said walking into the building.
