Cry Little Sister

Hiei...!

I lift my head. I'm tired and weak. I thought I was dead. Damn, I still am. Floating in an endless abyss I had time to think about my executioner. I remember hearing about that thing among the thieves when I was small. They told me it was called the Solitary Spirit. Why did Koenma use that gods forsaken thing on me? Back to the matter at hand. The reason my head rises is because I hear her. She's here somewhere. I try to rise but I feel nothing. I forgot I'm dead. I'm just a floating spirit right now. So why can't I float away from my body? If I'm dead why can I still feel? So where am I? I look around me. It's nothing but black. I think I'm lying on something. Something hard and cold...I can see something above me. It's that spirit...wait if my soul has been separated then why...why can I think? Why am I an inch from being alive? All theses questions anger me. What the fuck is going on?

Don't worry...everything will make sense soon.

A voice is talking to me. But no one else is here and I doubt that thing above me can talk. Besides, it's a male's voice. I can tell you what has happened up until now. Who the hell are you?!

My name is Hiroshi. I don't have time to go into what's about to happen. All you need to know that your sister is coming for you and she will die.

What?!

I'm not finished! When she dies her soul come to you and you will be given power you never had. This will be enough to get you through bloody palace.

Is that we are?

Yes, as long as your spirit remains inside your body a displace soul doesn't matter but you are immobile for the time being. You're some where between alive and dead.

There's a difference?

Yes, the soul is your life force and energy. It keeps you strong and mobile. Your spirit is who you are. It holds your mind, heart, body, and soul together. If your spirit is destroyed then there is no hope for bringing you back.

Why is that thing here?!

The Solitary Spirits purpose is to sacrifice the soul of two siblings and let bloody palace devour them. Once bloody palace has consumed this soul then a ruler will rise and bloody palace will appear in all three worlds! The Makai, Ningenkai and reikai will become one and well do you know of the time when Ningenkai and Makai were in sync? Think of that only ten times worse. You and Yukina have played into the hands of fate. Killing the one called Kuwabara allowed his soul to return here. He is the one who carried the soul of one called Kato. He needs the soul of you two to break all the seals over the worlds.

Wait, what soul. There are two of us!

Two twins. One Soul. You have half of Yukina and Yukina has half of you. Just as Yuka had half of me.

I didn't know who Yuka was and I could care less! I had to stop Yukina.

You won't! You can't go anywhere! It has to be done this way!

Fuck you! If only I could move! I try using my jagan. At least something still works! I peer through the halls of this 'bloody palace' looking for her. That's when I notice a bunch of low-leveled youkai crowded around something. I see a flash and several of the youkai are on the floor in pieces. I feel my eyes widen when I see who is at the center of it in blood.

The last fire will rise
Behind those eyes

Her eyes are on fire as she fights to get through them. When did she learn to fight and kill like that. She plows through them trying to get to a door. I believe it's to the room I'm in. I never wanted her to turn into this. Not for me.

Black house will rock
Blind boys don't lie

The palace rocked as I watched her unleash a fury of different ice attacks. She's coming this way.

Aniki hold on! I slash through these youkai as fast I can. I can't keep wasting time. I made a promise to myself that I would save you just as you promised to protect me! You haven't lied yet and I refuse to lie to you!

Immortal fear
That voice so clear

"Aniki!" I shout. I want to get through. I'm scared that I won't make it. I have too. "ANIKI!"

Through broken walls
That scream 'I hear'

I can hear her. I can hear her through theses cursed walls that hiss and laugh at her efforts. You can make it, Yukina. Just get here and you won't have to fight anymore!

Cry little sister

She's hurting and crying she's afraid as she nears the doors.

"Thou shall not fall"

One of the Youkai knocks me to the ground. I have to get to those doors. I stand and fight him refusing to give up

Come, Come to your brother

Come on Yukina get up! She rises and fights that demon. He must be one of strongest one.

"Thou shall not fly"

I'm thrown into the wall. I regain myself. I jump at him wishing I could move like Hiei. I'm fast on my own but aniki would have been done already! I can't be like him! Not even to save him!

Unchain me sister

I've got to get out of here! I try to will myself to move but I can't. I need to help her!

"Thou shall not steal"

The youkai grabs me around my neck. The chain on my aniki's hiruiseki breaks. I narrow my eyes and stab one of my blades through his arms. I pick up the necklace refastening it around my neck. I turn to this beast with my blades in hand. I don't like to take lives, I don't like to hurt others; I just love my brother!

Love is with your brother

I can hear her thoughts. She is doing all this for me. I don't want her to! I love her too much to let her. But I have to because I can do nothing for her.

"Thou shall not kill"

I stab the blades into the creature's heart keeping it from rising ever again. I'll kill to save him because I love him that much!

The masquerade
Strangers will come

They keep coming at her. I want to protect her but I can only lie here. It's infuriating. I try to move again and yet again nothing. Why did I ever break the protection over her. She would have been so much better off if I hadn't had come!

When will they learn
This loneliness?

Shizuru, your brother is gone now but you can never know the degree of loneliness I'm feeling now. I am alone in my feelings and thoughts about my brother. No one has ever been through what we have and...and...I'll be damned if I don't see it through!

Temptation heat
Beats like a drum

Heat of my determination spreads like wild fire through me. I'm so close. I can hear my heart's racing. I fight my better instinct to turn back as it sounds off in my head like a drum.

Deep in your veins
I will not lie to little sister

Yukina...I feel all the frustration and love coursing through her...all that for me. I won't lie about it, Yukina, I'm glad you won't turn back...

"Thou shall not fall"

I won't stop not when I've gotten this far!

Come, come to your brother

Come on Yukina! Break through!

"Thou shall not fly"

I burst through the remaining youkai. They're all dead now. Only one remains.

Unchain me sister

Please survive this. The last youkai is the biggest and strongest one I've seen. Don't let her die.

"Thou shall not steal"

The life of one in Makai is either to steal, kill or rule. Which am I?! I dodge the first blow of the monster. I don't want to do any I just want to live! I just want him to live! I want us to survive.

Love is with your brother

He's too strong for you, imouto-chan. Just give up. I don't want to see you die! I want her to hear me. I want her to forget about me and leave!

"Thou shall not kill"

I would give anything not to see her kill anymore.

My Shangri-La
I can't forget

I battle this demon. I can't just turn away and run. I can't forget all that you've done for me aniki! I want to prove that I deserve to be your sister! I need you but I also want you to need me. I can't let myself be so weak that you can do with out me! I finally make a wound in my obstacle, deep in it's flank.

Why you were mine
I need you now

I hear her thoughts again. I've been so blind. All she wanted was to feel needed by me. she just wants be equal to me. She doesn't understand that I've always needed her...I need her now.

Cry little sister

I cry out as I'm slammed into the wall and pressed painfully against it. "NO!" I scream.

"Thou shall not fall"

The demon lets her slide to the floor. She coughs up blood. I can feel the pain.

Come, come to your brother

I lift myself up as pain strikes through my insides. I think I'm injured there.

"Thou shall not fly"

Yukina. Don't do this!

Unchain me sister

I face the monster. I want to save you brother. And I will! I lift my hands painfully into the air. I call upon the last bit of my youki.

"Thou shall not steal"

I feel as though I'm the one fighting her. I feel her gathering the last of her energy. If she unleashes it all she won't have anything else to fight back with. Don't, Yukina!

Love is with your brother

Aniki! I love you with all my heart. And so I do this for you!

"Thou shall not kill"

She unleashes a blast of her own energy and it works. The youkai falls dead. I feel myself fall. She kills so cruelly...how? She kills for love.

Cry, Cry, Cry

I slump to the ground. My tears hit the floor. They are nothing but water, which means one thing. I'm dieing.

"Thou shall not fall"

She lifts herself up and pushes open the doors. I feel her life slipping away with each exert of energy.

Little sister

I open the doors and I see Hiei's body lying there peacefully. I take step forward and I see the solitary spirit floating above him. I'm your sister, Hiei...and I'm protecting you...like I promised...

"Thou shall not fly"

I see her but I can nothing but lie here. I try to talk but I can't tell her to leave or get out the way...but she wouldn't anyway...

Thou shall not steal"

I smile weakly as the Solitary Spirit howls like in my vision. It flies at me. I allow it. Though I'm afraid I refuse to run away.

Love is with your brother

I feel my soul coming back to me as the Spirit leaves me behind and goes for her. My strength returns and I slowly sit up. I'm still too weak to act. As I rise I hear her scream and the Spirit passes through her.

"Thou shall not kill"

I fall on my back. As I fell I saw him sitting up. He's okay now...the spirit steals my soul away but it slips from her grasps and flies to Hiei. I feel the remainder of my life leave me. I smile with blood-covered lips and I close my eyes. The last thing I hear...footsteps...

A/N: such a beautiful song. Anyway next up Hiei VS Kato. I hope you don't kill me for all this angst but hey even I admit I like the way this is going. Anyway if anyone has a song suggestion for the next chapter I'll take it. I need some suggestions for it cause I'm almost out of songs and I don't know any that will do it justice.
