"Good work Kurama, Kimura……Kimura…..We will save your trial and punishment for another day. You should both go home and rest…..Koenma said. "Ogar. Take the book, and give it to Botan. She will know what to do with it." Koenma said. You two are dismissed." Koenma said. Both Kurama and Kimura. Walked out of the office.
"He really died?" Botan asked walking into the room. Koenma nodded. "Wow…..i guess I feel bad…." Botan said. "Yes…..he was a good spirit detective." Koenma replied. "hmmmmmm……."
"I never found out what that book was…." Kimura thought to herself as she walked through her front door. She smiled. She hadn't been home for ages. She ran through the house, and found her mother sitting on the couch. She ran to her and hugged her. "hello to you to dear!" she said laughing. how was school?" She asked. Kimura stepped back and gave her a strange look. For being In Makai for more than 5 months, her mother thought she was in school the whole time!? "It was…..good mom….." Kimura said smiling. "Ok that's good. Dinner will be soon, so why don't you o up stares and take a shower." She said
"a…..shower?......that's never sounded better." Kimura said. while she took a shower, the only thing on her mind, was Ryu's death, and Kurama. She had to talk to Kurama once more. She stepped out of the shower, and dried off, putting on a pair of sweat pants, and a tank top. She told her mom she had to run to the library, and kissed her goodbye.
She arrived at Kurama's and stood outside his door for quite sometime. Before she earned the courage to knock, the door opened. "You could have knocked 15 minutes ago…." Kurama said smiling. Kimura blushed with embarrassment.
Kimura stepped inside. It now felt so strange. She had been hanging around with one of her friends who used to be her almost lover, and never found out about it until just now. Kimura sat down, as Kurama fixed some tea.
"Do you want to talk?" Kurama asked walking into the room. "Kimura nodded. "I…..i don't know……I feel so miserable….." She said putting her face into her hands. "Koraseru and Youko Kurama ……are different from you and me……." Kimura started. "I agree." Kurama said. "I like you as a brother…." She said. "And I like you as a sister…" Kurama replied. "So….friends?" Kimura ask. "Deal." Kurama replied. "There is something else bothering you…" Kurama said. Kimura looked down. "there was nothing you could do to save him." Kurama said. "I know….." Kimura said. "I just…..i feel so guilty…..for everything I put him through…..and……." Kimura put her head in her hands. "Why did he have to die?" She asked. "it was fate…..something tell same we will run into him again…" Kurama said. "But for right now…..someone is here who has been dying to see you." Kurama said with a smile. "Who?" Kimura asked. She looked up, as a black figure slowly turned the corner into the room.
Kimura stopped breathing. She felt hear heart go out of control. She stood up, and the room spun. She stumbled over to the familiar person, and stopped inches away.
"Hiei……." Kimura whispered. She reached up, and touched his face. A tear ran down her cheek. She flung her arms around Hiei's neck, kissing him hard on the lips. Kurama laughed at the shock on Hiei's face.
Kimura slowly pulled away, even more tears rolling down her cheek. Hiei opened his eyes, his heart still fluttering. He leaned in once more, and kissed Kimura deeply. Kimura felt shocked. She never thought he would respond like that.
Kurama snuck by, leaving the room, as Kimura and Hiei finally pulled away. Hiei hugged Kimura tightly to his chest, burying his face in her hair. "I missed you so much." Kimura said. "I missed you too." Hiei admitted. Kimura hugged him tightly.
'Everything will be back to normal soon." Hiei said to Kurama, while sitting on the window ledge with Kimura asleep in his lap. "yes it will….." Kurama said. "well at least…..as normal as it gets around here." Hiei said. They both smiled at each other, and watched the night sky multiply with stars.
