Ivil hoisted herself upright, clutching her ribcage and looked around the hospital room slowly as she spoke.

"Where're the kids? What happened after we went under?"

Kurama's eyes, as well as Tomoe, Ivy, X'on and even Talon, who stopped stroking the hand of the unknown person for a brief second then continued, widened and looked at each other; questioning each other and wondering if they should tell her the news.

"Well..." started Kurama

"they fought bravely and with deep honor..." Tomoe added

"but..."

Ivy stopped as Hiei, Ivil exchanged worried looks at one another, and then to the right of Hiei, where X'on was tending to a different person; he had put a white sheet over the previous person. They started to shake with both anger and sorrow, not wanting to belief even for the slightest second what was obviously lying in the same room.

"No...no-no-no-no-no they can't be...." Ivil was starting to waiver in her tone voice. "Hiei." she managed to whisper tenderly "How could he.....the bastard..." Ivil's voice was unable to describe as she glanced around the room hopelessly, trying not to seem too vulnerable (for expressing this much raw emotion.)

Even Hiei was starting to break down inside from the unbearable feelings building inside of him and it seemed to tear him mentally apart.

"Why did he....why did he have to do that.....we were the ones......he wanted." Hiei mumbled that last part under his breath as he noticed Ivil, straining insistently to get up and walk to the bed that was to the right of Hiei.

"Ivil, you can't be walk yet!" Ivy and Tomoe protested

"You're body hasn't healed yet. The tea's reaction's slower this time---" Tomoe got cut off.

"The hell I can't!" Ivil snapped fiercely. "I need to confirm..."

but this time it was Ivy who cut Ivil off. She was working her nerves.

"There's nothing to confirm! Rolan murdered them in cold blood! You expect to find anything different? We-heh-heh-ll you're sadly mistaken Ivil. They're n---"

Ivy's yelling and pointing at the beds on the right of suddenly halted as Talon telepathically scolded her.

"You need to chill out." Talon snapped. "She, like you, doesn't wanna believe it either. Let her go."

Ivy was still reluctant to move and let Ivil's heart be ripped to shreds, but Ivil pushed through, slightly stumbling around Hiei's bed to the next bed with a white sheet over the body.

Hiei followed her every movement carefully. He could sense her body's strength wavering as she strained persistently to get to that bed. When Ivil got to the bed, her legs just gave out and she collapsed onto the bed. When she did, some of the covers shifted and her eyes immediately noticed hair. Long, dark purple hair shone over the edge of the bed. She slowly lifted the sheet and just stared at the horror lying on the bed, eyes closed and no pulse.

"Sorin. No..." There was a long pause as Ivil tried to conceal her emotions by biting her lip to the point where it bled. Blood dripped onto the white sheets. Her eyes started to water. "..sweetie...."

Hiei appeared by her side and knelt down, concerned for her and hugged her lightly. He rubbed her arm for comfort.

"Hon...they're not comin' back...---" Hiei tried to comfort her as best he could but he was having an extremely tough time concealing how badly he was hurting. He had lost both of his wonderful children and he wasn't there to protect them. There was no way to bring them back without breaking many laws of Spirit World and if he got caught, the price to pay would be unbearable.

A single tear escaped his eyes and landed on the hand of Sorin. Kurama brought his tray of food over to Hiei but before he could even ask him Hiei objected.

"No Kurama." Hiei said in his usual voice, now starting to fill with sorrow.

"C'mon Hiei. Now's not the time to be stubborn---"

"I'M NOT BEING STUBBORN!" Hiei snapped loudly at Kurama.

"Hiei...Ivil.." X'on started to speak but Hiei's anger was raging now because he didn't wanna seem weak.

"Not now X'on." Hiei growled and turned to Kurama, eyes blazing mad and teeth gritted.

"You know I, as well as everybody else, only want to help and comfort you." Kurama said calmly.

"Well, that's nice of you Kurama but---" Ivil's voice started to waiver. "you can't do that because you've never given birth. You can't comfort me."

Ivil fell back onto her heels and put her hands on her knees, trying to keep her composure as silent tears fell onto her hands with lite splops. Hiei turned back to Sorin and Ivil and continued to caress her arm as he too started to silently cry. At this point he didn't care whether he was weak or not because his two kids were taken away from him because of Rolan.

X'on finished up on the person he was cleaning up and put a white sheet over 'im. He turned to face Hiei and Ivil and noticed that they were in tears. He hesitated to inform them of some information that may help ease the pain. While he debated, Kurama and Ivy came behind Ivil and Hiei and tried to help them up, but they refused to bust from the bedside and their tears seemed to flow without easing.

"Ivil, Hiei...."

Hey people. I'm sorry for taking long again. I'm stuck in summer school and it's not easy. The next chapter should be up by next Monday but don't quote me on that. So...be patient with me. Peace!
