The thunder was crashing, and the lightning began to flash...Amb was looking out Kat's apartment window beside Kat who looked concerned.
Kurama got badly wounded when he jumped in front of that attack to protect me...And yet he insisted to go with Hiei to find whoever's after Kat...Amb thought.
"Something's wrong," Kat suddenly said, still looking out the window; her expression looked more serious now.
"What, what's wrong?" Amb asked looking at her friend.
"Kurama's energy's almost gone. Can't you sense it?" Kat answered.
"No, I may be a demon like you, Hiei, and Kurama, but I can't sense things as well as you and the other four guys," Amb replied, trying not to show that she was about to cry.
"Don't you even care Kurama might be dieing, and we're stuck here...I know I do," Kat said, "I promised them that we wouldn't follow them, but I want to make sure they're okay."
"But I do care!" Amb's tears were burning her eyes.
"Well so that we both don't break our promise with them, you stay, and I'll go after them," Kat said.
"Okay," Amb nodded.
As Kat was about to go out the door, the door swung open. There was a rather short, shadowed figure standing in the doorway. When the lightning flashed, Hiei's face was revealed for only a second. Both girls were relieved to see Hiei for just that one second, but began to panick when they did not see Kurama standing behind him.
"W-Where's Kurama?" Amb felt as though someone had their hands around her neck and had begun to strangle her.
"H...H....He....gave me this and sent me with a message for you Amber..." Hiei looked down at that moment, "Before...Before our opponent's power made Kurama blow up..."
Amb took the rose from Hiei, and when the lightning flashed, she saw that it had Kurama's blood on the petals.
"How could you have not stopped that beast from killing Kurama, Hiei!?" Kat demanded.
"There were two, and we're going to have our hands full Kat. The one I was fighting had me pinned to a tree..." Hiei answered, "Literally."
Amb's face was covered in tears at this point, "But you're strong Hiei! NOBODY IS STRONGER THAN YOU! HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN TO KURAMA! I HATE YOU!"
"Yelling is not going to bring your boyfriend come back, and I faught the best I could. Right now, I'm not the strongest demon on this planet anymore. There's two occult beasts out there who are too strong for me to fight on my own," Hiei strangely was not draping his arms around the one he loved.
"Hiei, it's not you're fault...It's nobody's it's okay," Kat placed her hand on Hiei's face.
It was wet, but not from tears or sweat. The lightning flashed and Kat saw he hand had blood on it, but whose?
"Hiei..Your-"
"I know, my face has blood on it...It's from head wounds I recieved in that fight. That damned beast tried to take my head off. They're not fast, but I got double teamed after Kurama was killed. I couldn't believe what I had seen, and when I gained control of myself, they attacked me," Hiei answered.
"Hiei! You mean to say you nearly got yourself killed!?" Kat placed her bloodsoaked hands on her face trying to calm herself.
"Please, don't act as if I'm going to get killed! I'm not going to! As long as you're alive, I'll live," Hiei reassured Kat.
"You know that isn't true! I just don't want to go through losing you like Amb is with losing Kurama like she did!" Kat shoved herself into Hiei's chest and held him until she felt more blood on his body, "More....wounds?"
"I wasn't using a figure of speech when I said that the one beast pinned me to a tree," Hiei replied.
"Oh my God..." Kat released him and fell onto the ground; she began to burst into tears, "KURAMA'S ALREADY DEAD! YUSUKE GOT KILLED, KUWABARA'S DEAD! I CAN'T STAND THE THOUGHT OF YOU BEING KILLED NEXT! THOSE BEASTS ARE KILLING EVERYONE I CARE ABOUT!"
"I'm still alive aren't I?" Hiei tried to cheer her up.
"Yeah! But look at you! Your face is covered in you own blood, and you've got a hole in your belly! What else am I supposed to think!?" Kat continued to cry.br
"I know, but don't let that fool you, love. I love you, and I'll live. I'm never going to leave your side. I feel guilty about Kurama getting killed. I feel like I could have used my speed to save him, but I didn't. Now I feel guilty," Hiei got Kat back onto her feet and wiped away her tears; even though he knew her tears would be replaced by his blood being smeared even more on her face, "Sorry your face has so much of my shedded blood on it."
"I don't mind," Kat sniffed, "Not anymore..."
