Hello all, just got back... And I'm tired.... We ran like hell when I was there, and I was up talking to my friend at 1: 00 in the morning.. 12:00 for her.... Lucky. I missed the second IY that came on at 3 cause I fell asleep. I think I fractured my finger.. So it's just been a GRAND WEEK FOR ME!!!! But, we have off tomorrow! Thank you lord for labor day!!

Anyway, on with chapter... 11? Yea, 11. Alright. Here.

Don't Think Twice

I couldn't save her....

He kept thinking to himself as he sat in the pouring rain outside their house, his house, in a tree. He kept starring at the window that led to her room. Sometimes he'd see her open the window and gaze up at the stars, making some sort of stupid wish. But even the little things seemed to be precious to him now.

"Why couldn't I save her? Why?!" He yelled out to the sky.

Nothing, but his echo came back at him. He sighed and continue to look at the window.

Kima hadn't stopped crying since the day before. She sat in her room, clutching a picture tightly against her chest. The picture was of her and Huyana together, at a party before they met the others.

"Huyana.... Your such a... Why did you have to... Why did you die?" She asked starring out at the rain. "You were like my sister.... I need you here with me... I can't be in this world alone... You have to come back." She said looking at the picture.

A silent knock came from her door. She knew who it was, but she didn't want to be bothered right now.

"Please, go away, Kurama. I need to be alone for a little bit..." She said sadly.

"You've been by yourself since we returned home. You have to come out, you can't keep crying." He said opening the door.

"SHUT UP!!! You wouldn't get it!!! She was my only true friend, Kurama! Just get out!! I don't want to see you or anyone else!!" She threw her pillow at him.

He dodged and shut the door behind him. He slowly walked over to her, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him through puffy blue teary eyes.

"I'm sorry, Kurama... I just.. miss her so much... She may have been rambunctious and what not.. But she was still my best friend." She said bowing her head.

"I know, Kima. But she killed Kashi, and Sian... Along with herself out of a selfless act of love. She loved her friends and family along with this world and gave her life to protect it." He said silently. "I loved her as well, Kima. Maybe not as much as you, but well enough to know why she did what she did." He added.

"Your right.." She said and wiped her eyes. "We... Should go see if Hiei is alright." She said quietly.

"Of course. Excellent idea." He said helping her up, it suddenly stopped raining.

"Koenma-sama... She's here." Jorge Saotome, Koenma's assistant said quietly.

"Good, send her in." Was the rulers reply.

"Yes sir." Jorge said, the office doors opened slowly to reveal Huyana, in her original form.

"Koenma." She said silently.

"Welcome, Huyana. Please, come in." He said, shutting the doors behind her.

Huyana walked up and sat in a chair across from his desk, crossing her arms across her chest. She didn't look happy, but she did what she had to do. Her goal was complete, she protected the world, and the ones she loved.

"Your deed was noble, Huyana Jaganshi. And for that, we wish to reward you." Koenma said looking down at a paper.

"Reward? There is nothing I desire." She said sadly.

"Not even, if you could walk amongst the living again? Alive?" He asked.

He smiled at her reaction. She gasped, looking up at him with the widest eyes.

"Y-You mean.. I could...?" She asked hopefully.

"Normally we don't give people chances to come back. But your lucky, a lot of people want you back, and you protected the Ningenkai from total destruction. Besides, I don't think neither Heaven OR Hell would take you. And we DEFINITELY couldn't keep you here in Reikai." The adult form of Koenma said smirking.

She smirked back and nodded, running up and hugging him tightly.

"Okay, THAT... never gets to anyone." She said smiling.

"Right." He smiled back. "Jorge! Get ready! We're bringing Huyana back to Ningenkai!" He shouted to his assistant.

"Yes sir!" Jorge said happily.

"Thank you, Koenma..." She said giving him a light kiss on the cheek and running out to the Reikai entrance.

Koenma blushed, but shortly took off after her.

"Hiei!!!" Kima's voice rang out through the woods behind the Jaganshi residence.

"What?" Said a voice from behind her. She gasped and turned around, looking into the tired crimson eyes of Hiei.

"We came to see if you were alright...." She said silently, Kurama coming up behind her.

"I'm fine. What about you? Your eyes don't seem as blue as they normally are." He said sarcastically.

"Hiei, it's not a joke... Huyana's gone. Your sad too." She said looking to her feet.

"Oh, COME ON! You guys haven't stopped grieving yet?" Said a voice from the other side of the woods. "I mean, it's been a whole frickin' day!!" The voice said happily.

"H-Huyana?" The three of them asked at the same time.

The girl revealed herself, but she looked different. Her hair was shorter, probably singed from the flames, she had a fancy fighting outfit on, and looked awfully happy.

"It is you!! HUYANA!!!" Kima said running into her arms and hugging her tightly.

"Yes, I'm home. I'm alive. I'm OKAY.. But won't be if you don't... let.. me.. breathe.." She said smiling at her friend who finally let go.

"Sorry... But how? We thought you-?" She started to say.

"Died? I did. But.... Koenma let me come back 'cause I've been such a good girl..." She said innocently.

Kima giggled lightly, it was good to hear her friends voice back in its original tone again.

Huyana looked over to her brother and smiled.

"Well? Aren't you gonna hug me too, Hiei?" She asked smirking.

"Hn. Don't flatter yourself." He said smirking back.

Huyana crossed her arms over her chest and smiled lightly, sure enough, he sped over to her and hugged her tightly.

"Yea, that's what I thought." She said teasingly.

"Listen, if you ever pull a stunt like that again, I'll kill you, bring you back to life, and kill you again." He said firmly grabbing her by her shoulders.

"You'd be welcome to try." She smirked. "But, you know I won't." She hugged him, smiling as he returned the embrace.

Then her gaze turned to her favorite red-haired fox-boy. She smiled at him, he finally knew. But she still wanted to tell him, face to face.

She walked over, stopping in front of him. She looked up into his emerald hues and smiled lightly.

"Hey, thanks again.. For what you did...." She said remembering yesterday at the temple.

"If it weren't for you, the world would probably be dead, and I'd still be bawling like a baby." She said pleasingly. "I love you, Kurama."

He smiled and leaned down to kiss her lightly on the lips, both Kima and Hiei gasped lightly. Their kiss seemed like a short eternity to them.

"I love you too, Huyana." He replied to her.

Aww..... What a cute chapter...... Didn't suspect that, did ya? I bet Kara ABSOLUTELY hates me now... And some people 'probably'.. notice the emphasize on probably think this is the end of the story... What are you all, nuts? No... I've got about 2 more chapters. I should've included that their first kiss would be in here... But, where would the fun in that be?

Here's what's to come:

Everyone's not sad anymore! Well, almost everyone....

Huyana finds her Hiruiseki, but who gives it to her?

One last chat, before he disappears for good

Stay tuned for one of the final episodes of Nayami no Eikyuu! The other world isn't watching for nothing!!
