Tears of Sorrow

Chapter 4 Flicks from the Past, the Cliff Incident

Flash back

Ukera was only about 14 years old (If you really want to know how old she is in the present time she's 16) Her whole family was just slaughtered in front of her. Tears streaked her face; she was trembling with anger and fear like a scared 5-year-old girl.

Her eyes then went to the bloodthirsty killer. He was staring at her amusement written in his eyes. He was taunting her with out saying a word. Then his cold voice came out, " You're the last one left. Your family is dead beyond hope. I can see your pain and fear- maybe I should end your life like the others. Do you have a say in that? " His voice made Ukera shiver even more.

" You might as well kill me now. I have nothing to live for, " Ukera said through clenched teeth. Amusment flickered in his eyes more.

" I think you're better then you look ningen. Your opinion on life interests me. What is your name? " He asked.

" I would rather die then tell you! " she yelled.

He let out a cold laugh and drew out his sword that was bloodstained. He put it to Ukera's neck. " Do you really want to die? I'll spare your life.... But I want to know a little about you. Your family would have wanted at least one of them to live on. I'll tell you what- tell me about you and I'll spare your life and give you a little info on me. Want to live or die, your decision." He taunted.

She didn't want some bloodthirsty demon knowing her name, but it was true her family would have wanted her to live. " Um,"

" There is a time limit here. I don't have all day. Make your decision." He said, smirking. He put a little pressure on the sword causing it to go a little way into her throat. She winced in pain. " I would hate to kill such a beautiful girl like you. "

" Fine. " She whimpered. He smirked he put his sword back into it's sheath. " You're sick you know that?! " He just gave her a cold stare. " My name is Ukera. I used to have a life until you murdered my family... The end. " She said emotionlessly.

" That's enough too know. Hn, now the other part to the bargain. My name is Hiei and I've never had anyone who cared about me that's why I kill everyone in my way. No one cares for me and I'm ruthless. Though I see you, your innocent face that makes me think I shouldn't kill you. You're the only one who I've ever spared a life. You should fell special, Ukera, " Hiei laughed coldly.

End of flash back

The memory of that flashback came into her head how she really meets Hiei. ' I love you Hiei, ' Ukera thought. ' I wish you wouldn't hurt yourself like you do now because of me.'

Ukera kept walking around. The thought and memories of Hiei came to mind, it hurt her.

About an hour later she came across someone yelling in pain She ran toward the scream and could swear it was Hiei's scream. No doubt, she saw Hiei crouched over holding his right arm. " Damn it! It's not only my arm, I can't believe I was acting like that to her!" Hiei yelled. Ukera felt tears run down her face.

Seeing Hiei like that wasn't planned. She's only seen him like that once before. The words Hiei said came to her head.

Short flash back when she saw Hiei like that before

" Ukera I'm sorry... It's over. I just can't take the freedom you have in life away just because I love you, " Hiei said tears welling up in his eyes. That was the most painful thing to his whole life.

" Hiei-"

" I'm sorry, but it's over! I can't love you anymore I just can't! If I allow myself to do love you I'll just ruin your life! You need to be happy and you won't be happy if you stay with me." Hiei started to cry, tear gems clattering on the ground.

" Hiei, please- I love you just don't-" Hiei disappeared out of sight. The next Time Ukera saw him they fought! It wasn't pleasant. That's what ruined their friendship... Or say relationship between them. It was shattered and broken from Hiei just trying to make Ukera's life better. Though there's a key word there, TRY.

End of flashback

Ukera went over and put her hand on his shoulder. He turned around and immediately stood up. " Ningen, get away from me! I don't need your sympathy! " He said. Tears streamed down his face. He wiped them away quickly.

" I Hiei- " He cut her off.

" Get away from me!" Hiei yelled stepping back a few steps backward he was still facing Ukera.

" But I-"

" No. No, no not listening! See fingers in ears the ears... La, la, la, la, la not listening! " Hiei said backing up more.

" Hiei, "

" No!"

"Hiei!"

" Not listening!" Hiei still backing up some more. Ukera was getting mad.

"HIEI!!!!!" Ukera yelled.

" WHAT THE HECK DO YOU WANT, NINGEN! " Hiei yelled.

" I wouldn't back up anymore if I were-" To late Hiei backed off the cliff that was there. "HIEI!" Ukera ran and grabbed Hiei's arm before he fell off the cliff.

The waves crashed at the bottom leading into a void of ruff dark green colored waves and sharp rocks at the bottom. Hiei looked down, then looked up at Ukera." I hate you!"

"Isn't that nice to know, " Ukera said.

" Stupid its all your fault! You didn't tell me I would fall off!" Hiei kept yelling at her. She kept trying to tell him, that she tried to tell him he would back off the cliff and he was too stupid to listen, " And besides.... I DON"T NEED YOUR STUPID HELP!!!!" Hiei yelled.

" If I let go you'll hit those rocks on the bottom and really hurt yourself, " She informed him.

Hiei smirked, " Hn, let go. I always thought you wanted me hurt after what I did to you."

Ukera looked hurt. She looked to the ground not evening facing him, she started crying again." Please just allow me to help you at least just now. Please... I promise I won't talk or even- stares at you ever again... I just don't want you hurting yourself," Ukera cried. Hiei Looked up at her.

" I really hurt you that much? " He asked, trying not to look into her beautiful green eyes.

She didn't answer. Hiei shook his head violently remembering not to associate with her." I take that as a yes... So, THEN I DESERVE TO FALL OFF THIS CLIFF!! LET GO OF ME BEFORE I KILL YOU!!!!" Hiei yelled.

Ukera's expression changed, " You're such a jerk! I swear! Fine if you want to get hurt. There's no one who's going to stop you! " Ukera yelled as she let go of Hiei. Stood up and walked off. Hiei let's say he fell off the cliff and Ukera left back to the hotel hearing a very loud scream and cussing...

3 hours later, 7 pm

The girls and the gang got into a game of cards. Ukera was winning. They should be training, but who acutally listens to Koenma's orders to train? Well they sure don't. Right then Hiei walked in. He had the, I'm- ready -to- kill -look on his face and that's no lie. He was all bloody and there was blood dripping on the carpet, already a puddle forming where, he stood in front of them.

" Dude! What the heck happened to you?! " Yusuke asked. The girls, besides Ukera were all giving and ew ' look.

Hiei's glare went to Ukera. " Is that any of your business detective! " Hiei snapped back. The gang all could tell his anger right there.

" Sorry I asked- gosh, " Yusuke mumbled. Hiei gave him a death glare. Yusuke shut up right there.

" Any one dares bothers me, I have my katana out and ready to kill whoever it is!" Hiei growled. Everyone was in utter silence. Hiei gave Ukera a death glare. Ukera knew it was her fault she let go of him off the cliff. She looked away from Hiei's gaze.

Hiei turned the other way to his room and everyone saw, Hiei's big gash at the back of his head from falling off the cliff on to the rocks. Most everyone just tried not to look at it as he walked to his room a slammed the door and I meant slam. They heard glass breaking right after the slam.

" Boy that sounded valuable. Hm, not my fault Koenma's paying for the room here. Let's continue the card game! " Yusuke said to get their minds off Hiei's problem. Later that night, about an hour later Botan and the girls came back with food also meaning Chinese food.

Mostly everyone ate. And mostly everyone was ignoring Yusuke's bad eating habits, rice flying everywhere by him. Hiei's food remained untouched. Ukera didn't even eat her food She felt guilty inside, Hiei wasn't even eating anything and he was bleeding really badly. Ukera stood up, grabbed her little bag thing that had her food in it.

" Dude, where are you going, " Yusuke asked threw a mouth full of food.

" I need to get some sleep I don't feel good," Ukera replied.

" It's Hiei isn't it? You feel bad because he keeps glaring at you, right? " Yusuke asked. Botan gave a relived sigh Koenma's words still in her head, Don't let the rest of the gang find out about Ukera's and Hiei's little disagreement.

" Ah- Yeah, I guess. But I'm just going to talk to him and then lie down, " Ukera said.

" Talk to him then lies down... I hope you know the lie down part will be a forever deal. When he gives a death threat he means it. He won't hesitate to kill you, " Kuwabara said.

" Hiei wouldn't kill you don't worry, he doesn't want Koenma on his case again, " Kurama said now catching on to there use to be relationship. Kurama could also see Botan's worry if they found out about the two.

The gang just shrugged. Most of them gave her a, Do whatever at your own risk looks. Ukera bowed slightly as she left. She knocked on Hiei's door. Though he was polishing his katana, he knew it was Ukera. She knocked again.

" Get away," Hiei said flatly. Knowing Ukera as the stubborn type that won't give up if she needed to really talk to him.

" Please, Hiei I just want to talk to you, " Ukera said.

Hiei sighed, got off the windowsill after giving a look out the window. Then he opened the door." Happy now? " He asked. Ukera saw how poorly bandaged his head was where the gash was. There was a long silence. " Well, if you aren't going to say anything then leave!" He said getting annoyed.

" I just wanted to say I'm sorry... Okay it's just that I, I'm sorry," She said.

" Hn, if that's all you can leave now, " Hiei said. He didn't want to start no fight between the two of them at that moment.

" Here," Ukera handed him her food and left into her room. Hiei stood there confused. ' Is this her food?' Hiei questioned himself, as he shut the door. Then part of his gaze went to Ukera's flute still on his dresser, well he shook that thought out of his head. He sat back on the windowsill opening up the bag thing. Yep, there was food in it. Hiei was kind of happy. Now remembering he hasn't eaten for four days almost was going on five. But there was a note in it. And he looked at it knowing right away it was Ukera's neat handwriting.... The note read...
