When Hebidoshi finally came to, she was faced with the sight of her sister. Kanne was thoroughly concerned, but the cat-girl could care less. She sat bolt upright and searched about for Hiei. All she found was that she wasn't in her home.

"Kanne, where is he…where is Hiei?!" she demanded.

"He's disappeared, Hebi-chan…" Kanne replied. "Lay down, now, rest…the blast knocked you out cold…"

"What do you mean he's disappeared?! Don't tell me he's dead!!"

"He's gone, sister," the queen said firmly. "I don't know if he's dead or if he's simply returned to his own realm. Either way, we won't see him again."

Hebidoshi remained completely silent for a moment. "Typical, isn't it? I find the one man who loves me and he disappears from my life forever."

"Ah…" the queen smiled. "I see. So he told you, did he?"

Hebidoshi looked up at her sister. "You knew?" she asked incredulously.

The dragon-eyed woman threw up her hands defensively. "Only since yesterday. And I wanted him to tell you himself. I had a feeling it would reach your heart much more easily than if I had told you."

Hebidoshi made a face. "You're not acting like yourself."

"What? I'm acting smart for once?" her sister said sarcastically.

"Um…well…yeah," replied the cat sheepishly.

"Well, now is the time for me to show you my true colors."

"What are you talking about?"

"I made a promise to Hiei, little sister, and I intend to keep it." She sat by her sister and took her clawed hand. "Sister, I've told you before…I'm not fit to rule. I don't know what to do. The reason you've been controlling the laws and all the actions of this realm from the sidelines is because I've been purposely acting like a fool. You were meant to rule…not me. Please sister…understand how I feel. It is still your choice whether or not you want to rule, but if you don't, at least let it not be because of me." The queen searched her sister's face. "Hebi-chan?"

"Heh…I guess I'm a little naïve…probably should've guessed…"

"Are you willing to take my place?" Kanne asked desperately.

"Do you really think I can handle it?"

"You've been handling it for nearly 300 years," replied the queen flatly. Hebidoshi laughed.

"Well, alright, sister…if you really think so." She smiled. "I will take over for you."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Genkai, in her library, looked up suddenly from her book. Yukina, sitting by her, looked up from hers at the older woman and asked, "Genkai-baasan, what's wrong?"

"He's returned…Hiei is back…" Genaki set down her book and stood. "I can only hope that his return has managed to seal the black dragon."

"I hope he's alright," Yukina said worriedly. "We should go find him…he could be—"

The door suddenly opened. There, in the doorway, stood a very burnt and exhausted Hiei. "I'm back…I've returned from the Dragon Realm." Genkai smirked and gave light applause.

"Well done, Hiei. Well done."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Kanne and Hebidoshi stood on a tall platform in front of a large crowd in formal attire. Kanne hled her crown out before her as her sister stood beside her with a string of pearls round her head. The crowd was hushed.

"From this day forward, my people," began Kanne, "I place upon my sister's head, the crown that will mark her the new queen of this realm." She stood before her sister and placed the crown on her head. "Welcome everyone, your new queen. Queen Hebidoshi!"

The crowd erupted into applause. There was a smile on every face. Every face except for one.

Hebidoshi closed her eyes and listened solemnly to the crowd's applause. If only I had a great king by my side…
