Hey all!! I'm sorry to say this is the last chapter of Nayami no Eikyuu.... It was fun while it lasted. But.... Who says their won't be other stories? I still have to make a romance fanfic on Huyana and Kurama..... Eh heh... Anyway, the last and FINAL chapter of Nayami no Eikyuu, I'll try to make it long....
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
"Huyana hasn't come back since she left yesterday!! Where is she?!" Yuka whined.
"Who let you out?" Yusuke asked.
"Awwwww!! She's so cute!!" Keiko screamed happily, smothering Yuka.
"Uh... Keiko... I wouldn't do that if I were...." Yusuke started to say.
Then he noticed that when Keiko started scratching behind Yuka's fox ears, she smiled and cuddled up against Keiko. He sighed in relief.
"Seriously though, where IS she?" Kuwabara asked.
"She left, to go to the place of our birth." Hiei stated quietly form his window.
"The place of your birth?" Kuwabara and Yusuke interrogated at the same time.
"Yes. She wanted to go find something out. From what I know." Hiei confirmed quietly.
"And exactly how DO you know, Hiei?" Yusuke asked.
"Hn. I'm her brother. I'm PERMITTED to know." He said looking out the window.
"Speaking of which.... Yusuke, where's Melin?" Keiko asked still scratching Yuka's ears.
"Mae? She went back to Makai. Have no clue why... She seemed a little P.O.'d if you know what I mean..." Yusuke said smirking.
"Maybe.. 'cause she thought you didn't care..." Yuka said tiredly.
"What's that supposed to mean, fox-pup?!" Yusuke asked glaring at her.
"You did NOT just call me a pup." She said returning the glare.
"I did and I'll do it again! PUP!!" Yusuke smirked.
"That's it! Your going down!" She said trying to get out of Keiko's grasp, but she held onto her.
"Don't let him get to you, he's just jealous I'm paying attention to you.. Though who couldn't? Your too cute!!!" She said hugging her tightly.
"Keiko-person? I can't..... breathe...." Yuka said finally getting free of Keiko's grasp.
"Hey, where's my Oniisan?" Yuka asked looking around.
"Didn't he go to Makai to?" Kuwabara asked.
"Yes. He followed after Huyana. Sort of like, a body guard." Hiei said not looking towards the group.
"WHAT?!?! He went back to Makai and didn't take me with him!?!" Yuka shouted.
"Calm down..... It's okay.. He won't be gone for long..." Keiko said soothingly petting her.
"I've been reduced to a house pet...." Yuka thought miserably.
"Will you STOP FOLLOWING ME?!! I know where I'm going!" Huyana shouted over her shoulder to the Silver Kitsune that was following her.
"Stop following you, let you get hurt, stop following you, let you get hurt.... Sorry, I think I'll keep following you." Youko responded sarcastically.
"Fine. But once we reach the Koorime Island, you can't follow me anymore, they don't let MALES in." She said trying to walk faster, but so did he.
"That's fine, I'll wait for you outside the islands boundaries." He said carelessly.
"God this is SO stupid!!! I don't need no frickin body guard!!" She thought as they continued to walk.
"Hey, why'd you leave your sister at my house?" She decided to change the subject.
"Because, I didn't feel like having a whining kit tagging along with us. Don't get me wrong, she's my little sister and I love her... But she can be a REAL pain." He exasperated.
"I hear that... It's the same between Hiei and I.... But.. It's more the other way around.." She said smiling lightly.
"We're here." He said looking up to the floating island of the Koorime.
"Thanks for escorting me, Fox-boy... But it's no company from here on in." She said smirking at him.
"Was that sarcasm?" He asked curiously.
"Maybe." She said looking back up to the floating island.
"So, are you going to go, or what?" He asked walking up next to her and starring up as well.
"Yea. I'm going." She said sadly.
"Are you scarred?" He looked down at her.
"Sort of. I haven't been here since I was born.... I wonder.. If my mother is still alive." She said looking to her feet.
"I'm going with you." He said firmly.
"No. Your not." She said glaring at him.
"Yes. I am." He said returning the look.
"I said your not, so your not!!"
"I don't obey anything from those who are younger then I am." He said crossing his arms across his chest.
"You are one jerk of a boyfriend. But... Your still mine..." She said hugging him. "Lets go." She said looking up again.
"Right." He said, using some type of plant to help them to the top of the island.
"Whoa... I guess they've never heard of a snow blower..." She said looking around at all the snow.
"OR building a fire..." Youko added rubbing his hands for warmth.
"Oh get a grip fox-boy. Its going to get colder." She said stepping onto the island.
"Easy for you to say. Your a FIRE demon..." He said shivering lightly.
"Fire demonESS!" She corrected him.
"Oh, my humblest apologies..." He said sarcastically.
"Apology excepted." She replied in the same tone as they walked to the town in the center of the island.
"There it is." She said as they stood up on a high hill overlooking the town.
"That woman.... She.. She looks so familiar..." She said looking at a woman with a blue kimono and teal colored hair, she was walking with an elder Koorime.
"I'm going to rest, Ruri. I will see you later." The elder of the two said.
"Yes, elder." The woman called Ruri bowed.
"Ruri? That's... My mothers best friend..." She said as she watched the elder walk into a house.
"You go ahead, I'll stay here and watch." Kurama said sitting down.
"Here." She said pulling a blanket out of her backpack she brought with her and wrapped it around him.
"Thanks, Koi." He smiled seductively.
"Yea..... I'll be back later." She said sliding down the hill.
She reached the bottom, the woman looked at her with wide eyes. She wore no Kimono, and she had the same blood red eyes as her late friend, Hina. Who was this girl? Not Yukina....
"Ruri." Huyana said looking at her with her sparkling crimson eyes.
"W-Who are you?" She asked timidly.
"I am one of the two forbidden children you had to throw off this island, I'm Yuhina."
"Y-Yuhina? Hina's youngest child? But, I thought you died, along with your eldest brother, Hiei... But he came here a little while ago as well and I had my doubts." Ruri said taking a good look at her.
"Yes, my brother, is still alive. He cares for me now... I came to see, if my mother was still alive..." Huyana asked walking over to her slowly.
"Hina? No... My deepest apologies, Yuhina. She passed away some time ago. A few days after you were thought to have been dead when disposed off." Ruri said stepping back lightly.
"Do not be afraid. I won't harm you, I merely want to know some things..." She said walking up to her, her height came up to Ruri's shoulders.
"Walk with me, I will explain." Ruri said walking ahead of her.
Huyana soon caught up, but looked up to see if Youko was still there, he walked along the top of the hill, following them. She looked back ahead, smirking towards the snow covered ground.
"Your mother, was sadly killed. They used her as a sacrifice. She had given birth to two forbidden children because she defied our laws by mating with a fire demon. You are a fire demon, am I correct?" She asked looking down at the black haired child.
"Yes. I am. But I'm also half Ice. Just as Hiei is. Once in my demon form, I look like my sister, Yukina's twin." She said smiling at her.
"You know about your sister? How would you know if she was here, Yuhina?" Ruri asked surprised.
"Because she is now in Ningenkai. I've never met her face to face yet. But I will soon hopefully. And, in this form, I am known as Huyana. If you will." She said looking over at the other Koorimes ice skating and doing other fun activities.
"Huyana.... Falling rain... What a nice name. Did you think of it yourself?" She asked as they continued walking.
"No... A man by the name of Ritoi Akuu gave it to me. He stole my childhood. But I turned out alright. Please, tell me more about my mother..." She pleaded silently.
"Of course. Hina, was a wonderful person. Who's fate was horrible indeed. No one ever knew why she mated with a fire demon. But it is said that if any Koorime what so ever were to have more then one child, much less a MALE child at birth would be a sign of misfortune." Ruri continued. "She had your brother and sister, your brother as you know was also thrown off our island for being male. You on the other hand were thrown off for showing the abilities of phlogiston at only two months, which was strange, but you were going to go none the less." They continued walking.
Ruri stopped at a small headstone reading the words 'Here lies Koorime Hina, the only one of this island to ever give birth to two forbidden children, a good friend and person. Lost, but not forgotten.'
Huyana kneeled down and brushed some of the snow off it. It was where her mother was buried, she looked around, a bunch of other headstones were surrounding it. She scowled, how could they treat her mother like another one of their stupid people?
"She, was one not to be forgotten. I disagreed to her being buried here, just as you might be thinking right now. But the elders rules are what we must follow here. I'm sorry, Huyana." Ruri stated, bowing her head.
"No, it's not your fault my Mother was buried along like any another... It's the rulers of this island I'm against right now.... Thank you, for your time Ruri... I might see you again. Some day... But I have to return to Ningenkai now. With my brother, and... My mate."
She said looking up at Kurama.
"Your mate? So you two do not follow the rules of this clan?" Ruri asked as Kurama came up behind her.
"No, I don't. And neither does my sister, Yukina. She is in love with a male with a heart of gold. Even though he isn't very smart. He's a good person. I... Am in love with the sexy kitsune standing behind you." She smiled.
Ruri gasped and whirled around to see Kurama, smirking down at her. She nervously backed away.
"Don't worry, Ruri. He won't bite... I think..." She said standing next to him.
"No. I won't...." He smirked. "...hard, anyway." He said looking at her with the most seductive face he could.
"Kurama!" Huyana hissed, glared at him.
"Sorry. I couldn't help myself." He laughed lightly.
"Lets... Just go back home." She sighed. "I'll see you again, Ruri. Until then, buh-bye!!" She waved to her late mothers best friend and walked with Kurama back to the edge of the island.
"Shall we go, Fox-boy?" She asked smiling.
Kurama nodded and grabbed her hand, pulling out a seed from his hair. It grew into wings and he jumped off the floating isle, gliding back to the portal. Huyana giggled lightly as he held onto her. He looked at her questioningly.
"You look like a butterfly...." She said between her fit of giggles.
"Why does everyone always say that? This is the leaf of a plant, doubling as a glider.... It must be that all the people in Ningenkai are stupid..." He smirked when she turned red with anger.
"Shut up!! Butterfly Fox-boy!!" She said smacking him in the head.
"Ow...." He joked lightly.
"Your just lucky I like you...." She said holding onto him tighter.
"Right. I'm soooo fortunate." He remarked sarcastically, smiling at her.
"Oooh.... You just wait 'till we get home!" She said tugging at a lock of his silver hair.
"Yes.. I just CAN'T wait.." He said pervertedly.
"EWWW!!!! Get your mind out of the gutter you disgusting fox!" She said pulling at his hair again.
He merely laughed and continued to the portal.
"Dammit, how long is it gonna take them to get back?!" Yusuke asked looking out the window up at the sky.
"A day in Makai, much less, a few hours.. Is literally a day here." Hiei started looking out as well.
"Well I'm getting really bored, and Keiko won't stop cuddling Kurama's brat of a demon sister!" He said slamming his fist into a wall.
"Don't do that! Huyana will have your head on a silver plate if you damage her house!!" Hiei shouted stopping him before he did it again.
"Whatever..." He said looking over to Keiko, who still had Yuka snuggled up in her arms.
"I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm gonna go to see my lovely Yukina!!!" Kuwabara said happily.
"Alright, why don't we all go to Genkai's temple?" Shizuru asked.
"That's a splendid idea!! We can wait for them there!!" Botan shouted happily.
"Yea.. When Oniisan comes back I'm gonna give him a piece of the mind I don't have!" Yuka said growling slightly.
"Don't be mad at your brother, Yuka! Be happy, you actually got away from him! I hear Youko used to be really torturous back in the day, right?" Yusuke asked the pint sized kitsune.
"Not to me. I was special I guess..." She said smiling.
"Special Ed?" Yusuke asked mockingly.
"One more snide remark from you, Hanyou and it'll be ME who has your head on a silver plate!" Yuka threatened, her eyes turning fro mthe pretty gold to a all red.
"Yeesh! Calm down kid! I was only teasin' ya!" He said backing away from her.
"Geeze Yusuke, leave her alone. She just misses her brother... Isn't that right, little Yuka?" She said rubbing her ears.
"Yea.. Sure.. Whatever..." She said as Keiko rubbed her sensitive ear.
"See, Yusuke? It's all out of love. I bet even Hiei misses Huyana right now..." She said looking over to the Fire Youkai, who was looking out the window.
"Can we go now?" Kuwabara asked.
"Are we there yet Fox-boy? I'm about to fall asleep...." Huyana said feeling her eyes get drowsy.
"Go to sleep Huyana, we won't be there for a little while more." He said as they glided through the Makai, the portal was about two hours away. Meaning it'd be morning in Ningenkai by the time they got there.
"Okay... Fox-boy..." She said leaning on his chest and falling asleep.
"She's truly had a terrible life... I'll make it up to her eventually, she calls ME lucky, -the infamous thief Youko Kurama!- and she's the one who gets to be MY mate." He thought, looking down at her.
She looked like a little child when she was sleeping. She truly was something of a strange breed. But he couldn't talk. Silver Kitsunes were rare now a days.
"Hopefully we'll be there soon... Huyana." He said kissing her lightly on the lips.
"YUKINAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kuwabara shouted as he ran up the steps to Genkai's temple.
Yusuke, Hiei, Keiko, Shizuru and Botan followed close behind, Yuka now in her full kitsune form was trotting up behind them.
"Kazuma! I had no idea you were coming!" Yukina shouted happily.
"Not even the strongest demons could keep me from you, my darling...." He said clasping her hands in his.
"Lets go inside, shall we?" She asked smiling nervously.
"Of course, my dear!"
So they all entered Genkai's temple. Kuwabara rambled on pledges of love to Yukina, Hiei sat in the window like usual, looking outside awaiting his friend and his sisters return. Yusuke was talking to Genkai and Shizuru was talking to Keiko who was frantically searcing around for her little fox.
"Their back!" Yuka came running into the temple smiling.
"They are?" Everyone asked.
Yuka looked behind her, Youko came walking in slowly, Huyana right behind him. She smiled to everyone, looking a little upset, but happy nonetheless.
"Miss us?" She interrogated.
"Only a whole lot!! Where've you two been?! Making out in the Makai?" Yusuke asked running up to them.
"That isn't even funny, Yusuke." Huyana said scowling at him. "I went to..." She looked at Hiei, then Yukina. "See if any more relatives of my family were still alive." She said sighing.
Yukina got up slowly and walked up to her, unexpectedly, she hugged her tightly.
"U-Um... Excuse me?" She asked as her sister whom didn't know hers and Hiei's secret embraced her.
"My mother is gone as well.. I know how you must feel..." Yukina said sadly.
"Y-Yukina...." She said, still feeling stiff.
"I guess, not everyone has a happy life, right?" Yukina asked looking into her eyes.
"No... But everyone gets a happy ending. Sister." She smiled.
Yukina smiled back. Now, she was reunited with her brother, and her sister. Though, somehow she knew all along that she would be. But Huyana's words were true. Everone gets a happy ending.
Owari!
Well Minna? Tell me what you think!! This is by far the LONGEST chapter I have ever written. But as my mom said, The final chapter is normally the longest! But don't fret! There will be another story up soon!!! I think it'll be about Huyana and Kurama mainly... But you'll just have to wait and see!!!!!
