Death Isn't Easy

All of the Signs and Kuronue were holding a meeting trying to figure out how to get Yoko and Hiei back when Nakada placed a hand over her chest and gasped. Everyone looked at her and Caralama went over to her holding her close, "Are you all right mom?" she asked.

Nakada looked at her and shook her head, "Yes, but I think they have just started torturing Yoko."

"Kelsey is no one else," they looked at the left wall and saw Randle standing there in the shadows, "The Dark Signs left Yoko to Kelsey and Hiei to Samantha. Since Yoko didn't give her the 'fun' that she wanted she is killing Yoko. That and she forgot about his pendant but his pendant probably thinks it is another attack since he has had plenty of those. But one thing is for sure if you don't get to Yoko soon he will die in a few hours."

Everyone stared at Randle, "Why should we believe you?" Sophie asked staring at him, "You have done enough hurt so why does it seem that you want to fix it?"

Randle looked at Caralama and Nakada, "Because even though I'm with the Dark Signs now I still care about Nakada, Caralama, and Talia. They only said they would hurt them and make them make love to them. They never said they were going to kill them."

Lindsey looked at Randle trying to see if he was lying or not, "He isn't lying," she announced.

Randle looked at her and then at all of them, "I can get you into the Dark Signs hide out safely but I don't think we will be in time to save Yoko…I really am sorry Nakada and Caralama. If I had known I would never have agreed to helping them," they nodded, "I brought a map on how to get into the Dark Signs hideout."

Back at the hideout

Yoko opened his eyes when he heard voices…angry voices as if someone was fighting but they all seemed like echoes and they seemed to be faraway. He tried to sit up but all of his wounds protested and he was quickly out of breath. He then saw a figure standing over him but he new it wasn't Kelsey but he didn't know who the figure was because his vision was blurred. He felt the figure take his hand and rub it against their face, "I found him!" the figure said and he recognized the voice.

"N…Nakada?" he whispered and his vision began to become more focused and he saw her face. He also saw the tears in her eyes as they fell from her face and he gently brushed them away, "Hush…don't…worry. Hey," he took her hand and smiled, "Don't…cry please…I…I ha…hate it…when you cry," then he saw Caralama beside her and he saw that she was crying as well, "Caralama," was all that he could say.

"Daddy please don't go," she said through tears.

He took her hand and looked at it, "I don't want to go Caralama believe if I had a choice I wouldn't. But I will always be with you Caralama…you and your mother in your hearts and in spirit. You won't be able to see me or hear me but I will be with you always." He let go of Nakada and her hands as he took his pendant, which was barely glowing, from around his neck and gave it to Caralama, "I want you to always keep this safe and close to your heart Caralama. And if you need to know that am by you them take this pendant and hold close to your heart."

"I will daddy," she said

He looked at Nakada and moved his hand through his hair and took out a beautiful red rose in full bloom and gave it to her, "It will never die Nakada as long as you keep it in water and love me."

"I will never stop loving you Yoko," she said through tears and then Hiei appeared behind Caralama and put his hand on her shoulder.

"See you later three eyes," Yoko said with a smile and Hiei smiled as well.

"I hope so fox man."

Yoko looked at Nakada and placed a hand on the back of her head and pushed her down and kissed her gently on the lips and she returned it. He licked her lips a little and she allowed him entrance which he took. When they separated he gave one final effort to stay alive and then there was nothing as he closed his eyes over his faded unnatural golden eyes.

Caralama stood up and wrapped her arms around Hiei crying into his chest and Talia went over to Nakada who didn't seem to be alive at all. She sat down and wrapped her arm around her and Nakada suddenly wrapped her arms around her and cried into her shoulder. Talia stroked her back and looked at Yoko's dead body, "Hush Nakada."

"I couldn't do anything," she wept into Talia's shoulder, "I still don't know the extent of me powers. I could have been able to save him but I didn't know how." Nakada drew back and looked at Yoko tears streaming down her face, "The prophecy books were true. The twin sister who holds the sign of the moon shall never have a love only heartbreak. I'm the twin sister of you Talia," she said looking at her.

Talia held her close and looked at Caralama and Hiei who were still holding each other. Talia looked closer at Hiei and saw that he was trying to hold back tears.

Little did any of them know that Yoko's spirit was watching them and he was crying to. He went over to Nakada and went to touch her but his hand went right through her. He looked at his hand and then at her and saw that she had made no indication that she had felt that.

Flash Back

"Well he can just go then," Kelsey said pointing a finger out the door and Hiei slowly went out looking back at Yoko and then left closing the door behind him. Alone with Kelsey he looked at her and saw that she was angry, "This room is for only you and I. No one else is to come into it you understand?" Yoko nodded and Kelsey smiled all traces of anger leaving her, "All right then time to get to work. I didn't get to do something's with you yesterday that I wanted to but it wasn't exactly easy to get those lies out of your heart especially when they were just about to get out again. So aren't you going to say thank you?"

"For what? Though it might have been painful at least then I would have died in a year and be away from you."

"And you would have been far away from both Nakada and Caralama. You would be able to see them again but they wouldn't be able to see, smell, hear or feel you. You wouldn't be alive you would just be dead to them."

End Flash Back

He looked down and tears slowly fell from his eyes, "I am so sorry," he looked up but this time he didn't go to stroke her face knowing it was be pointless and looked Caralama, "I am so sorry that I wasn't strong enough to stay alive for both of you."

Then he felt a hand on the his shoulder he turned around to see the beautiful death standing there, "Hello Yoko," she said and he stepped back, "Don't be afraid I have come only to take you."

Yoko stepped back again, "I don't want to go," he said stubbornly, "I can't leave them I need to somehow tell them I am all right!"

Death sighed, "Yoko I'm afraid that is impossible…your…"

"If you say I'm dead then don't. It is kind of obvious that I am," he turned around and looked at Nakada and Caralama who were still crying and tried not to start tearing as well.

Death was silent for awhile then she sighed, "Nakada is going to join you in a few days," she said quietly.

Yoko turned around and stared at her hard, "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean just what I said," she said looking at Nakada, "In a few days she is going to try to stay alive but without you there she will lose her immortality and she will slowly die just like other mortals…but she will kill herself before her time."

Yoko ran in front of her, "NO! She has to be there for Caralama!"

"Hiei will be there for her."

"But her grief will be twice as bad and who knows what will happen!" Yoko argued looking at Death, "There most be someway to change what is about to happen!"

Death thought for a second, "She will lose immortality but only if she has given up hope and the will to live," she then began to think again, "She doesn't know this but she can turn back time but that is only if she has her immortality." She looked at Yoko and he looked at her pleadingly and she sighed, "There is a way to communicate to them but they have to be asleep."

She was quiet for a second and Yoko lost his patience, "HOW!" he yelled and she looked at him.

"Just simply talk to them in their sleep like Alfred did," she said and Yoko fell down anime style.

"Of course!" he said while he started getting up, "Why didn't I think about that before! Now all I have to do is wait until they go to sleep."

A little while later

Yoko had slipped through the World Mirror with the other Signs and he saw that they were in Demon world. He continued to follow them and he saw them walk into a clearing that was full of flowers and plants. Squall waved his hand and a silver coffin appeared in the air and landed on the ground. It opened and revealed nothing but Talia went over to it, waved her hand and his body appeared. He knew then that he was seeing his own funeral as he continued to watch them. Nakada went over to the coffin and tried to hold back tears as she caressed his face. He knew it was useless but he went over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. But for some reason it didn't go through her shoulder and Nakada looked at her shoulder expecting to see a hand but she saw nothing.

"Is there something wrong Nakada?" Jennah asked as she walked over to her with Kuronue beside her.

Nakada shook her head, "No it's just I thought I felt Yoko for a second," she looked at Yoko's body and sighed as tears ran down her cheeks, "I guess I was imagining it." Squall nodded and waved his hand and the earth opened up and Yoko's coffin went into the hole. He waved his hand again and the ground covered over his coffin. A tomb stone appeared at the head of Yoko's burial that read:

Here lies Yoko Kurama greatest thief in all of Makai. Loving friend, lover and father to all he cherished.

Yoko looked at the tomb stone but then he looked at Nakada surprised that she had felt him. He cupped her face and his hand stayed and Nakada cupped her face as well and he smiled, "I am here Nakada," he whispered but Nakada couldn't hear him.

"I felt him again," she said with a smile.

Caralama went over to the head stone and Yoko placed a hand on her head and then over one of her pointy ears. She placed her hand over her ear and smiled, "He is here," she said with a smile.

Sophie smiled, "Maybe we should stay in this world for a while, how is that?"

Everyone nodded and went to into the forest to a deserted cabin close to the burial. Yoko stood there looking at his burial and the beautiful death appeared. He looked at her, "Death how is it Nakada and Caralama could feel me?"

Death smiled, "Because Yoko they love you and they are still trying to cope that you are dead. They are also close to your body. In a few minutes the sun will rise and Nakada will be in her death sleep. Caralama is also going to go to sleep…"

"I have to go to Nakada but she is practically dead and I won't be able to. I'll have to go to Caralama," he went to the cabin and saw it was more like a big house. He went to Nakada's room first and sat on the side of her bed as she laid down under the covers. She waited for the sun to go up and Yoko moved to sit on her side of the bed and cupped her face and she smiled as she placed her hand where his was.

Yoko smiled, "Don't worry Nakada I know we will be together forever someday."

"I love you Yoko," she whispered and the sun began to rise into the sky and she went into her death sleep. Yoko went out of the room just as she closed her eyes so he didn't get to see Nakada's spirit rise from her body. He went to Caralama's room and saw she was already asleep with Hiei at her side wide awake.

Squall then entered the room, "Hiei can we talk to you for a second? It concerns Nakada and Caralama," Hiei stood up and left.

Yoko had an idea on what he was going to talk about so he went to Caralama's side instead of going with them. He saw a tear fall down her face and reached to it wiping it away, "Hey Caralama," he spoke to her gently (think about what happened with Yusuke.)

In Caralama's mind

Caralama looked behind her and saw Yoko there standing behind her with a smile on his face, "D-DADDY!" she yelled running over to him holding him tight Yoko had to kneel down to the ground because Caralama looked like a six year old. Yoko held her tight not wanting to ever let her go, "Daddy please say you are staying!" Caralama cried into his chest.

Yoko sat on the ground with his legs crossed and sat her in them holding her close, "I'm sorry Caralama I'm not," Caralama held him tighter, "But I am here to try and make things better okay? I intend on staying with you and watching you grow up but to do that your mother is going to have to turn back time. She can do that but she has to stay an immortal you have to tell her that." Caralama looked up at him he smiled as he cradled her close to him, "Just tell her not to give up hope or not to lose the will to stay alive and tell her to somehow get to sleep so I can talk to her."

Caralama kept a tight hold on Yoko's robe and snuggled close to him, "Okay dad but how will that help you to know about my childhood?"

Yoko smiled, "She can turn back the clock far enough so you wouldn't have been born yet and we will be able to have you instead of Alfred and April."

Caralama looked up at him, "You think that is possible?"

"Anything is possible when you believe Caralama," Yoko stroked her face and she smiled. Then she began to glow a golden yellow and she also began to grow while she still sat in his lap so he took her hand and stood up his eyes wide. Caralama grew up to Nakada's height and stopped growing as the glow went down. When it did she was standing there looking like a golden vixen in Yoko's arms. A pair of golden fox ears appeared on her head and growing out of her tail bone was a golden fox tail. She looked up at Yoko and smiled showing a pair of neat white fangs and when she opened her eyes he saw that they were baby blue with golden slashes, "I believe, father," she said in a strong voice and wrapped her arms around his neck holding him close.

Yoko didn't know what to do but he wrapped his arms around her as well and held her close smiling leaning his head against hers, "That's my little vixen," he smiled as he left.

End Dream

Caralama woke up and saw that she was still in her demon form. Hiei came into the room and saw her like that. He looked at her wide eyed because he might have seen her like this once but this time it was more brilliant and she was taller and seemed to be more sure of herself. Caralama smiled and turned around, "What do you think?" she asked looking at him.

He looked at her his mouth open slightly and his eyes wide. Under his bandanna his Jagan was wide as well but he couldn't speak at all. Squall appeared in the room and he saw his niece looking so powerful he spoke for Hiei, "Caralama what happened? You look great!"

"Like a real demon," Hiei finally sputtered out and she smiled as she walked over to him and smiled as she hugged him.

"I wonder if there is anything I should know about this body," she wondered as she looked at her self and her tail swished behind her. She grinned a grin that looked so much like Yoko's and was out of the room.

Yoko heard laughing behind him and he turned around to see Nakada. What? But the sun is still up.

Nakada stopped laughing and walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and held him close, "Hey Fox Boy," she whispered into his ear which made it flicker.

Yoko held her close laying his chin on her shoulder taking in her scent that smelled like lilacs. He then drew back and looked at her, "Nakada…"

She silenced him with putting her finger on his lips, "No I am not fully dead this is just something I can do. I heard everything that you had told Caralama, so don't worry. I just have to look for the right book to tell me how to turn back time. But I think I can talk to you and other things as well if I want to. I am reading a book about it right now and I am almost done of it."

Yoko smiled and placed his hand on the temple of her head moving some of her hair aside and he leaned down to kiss her. When he broke he smiled, "Well I guess you can read it but lets look in on our daughter shall we?" he asked looking at her and she smiled with a nod.

The following days Nakada did nothing but stick her nose in books learning things at alarming rates and pretty soon she was ahead of all of the Signs in knowledge but she never found out how to turn back the clock. Many times she had almost given up and lost her immortality but when she did Yoko would be there to give her knew hope. This was one of the times. She had almost read the library dry of all of it's books and right now she was in Demon World going through a stack of books and she was sitting by Yoko's grave.

A tear came to her eyes as she continued to read and Yoko wiped it away. She looked up and he smiled as he sat down beside her and wrapped his arm around her holding her close, "Why are you crying?" he asked laying his head on hers.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against him, "Yoko I am trying I really am but I can't find anything," Yoko hushed Nakada and held her close.

"I know I'm watching you but we have to think of something else," she looked at him and he looked to be thinking, "You always said that the simplest things make the biggest of differences. You also say that the best thing is always last so…what book or strategy would you think would be the last thing you would think up and the simplest?"

Nakada thought for a second and looked as she looked at him and then she stood up and summoned up a World Mirror that seemed to be in an ocean or some kind of body of water. She took a deep breath and went in and he followed, "Hiei and Caralama had found a Sign Memorial around here maybe it can tell us something that the books I've been reading can't." Nakada said as she turned into her mermaid from and went to the memorial. When they were there Nakada's eyes went wide when she saw all of the pictures. She waved her hand and they all looked new again as she looked then over. Yoko explored the cave a little while Nakada looked at the pictures.

After a while Nakada smiled, "YOKO!" she yelled and he appeared and she pointed to a picture that looked like a person being enveloped by a light.

"What does it mean?" he asked confused.

"If I am correct then this is a Sign or someone with Sign powers. This person here," she said pointing to a body that was lying down, "Must be the persons loved one."

"Could that mean that the person enveloped by light is trying to turn back time?" Yoko asked looking at the painting.

Nakada nodded, "Yes that could be it but if I'm right then I am going to have to do something."

Yoko looked at her, "What are you going to do?"

She looked at him and sighed, "I am going to half to relive your death. I read it somewhere in a book that this has happened but I never finished it and I can't remember what it was called. But if I am right then I don't get to chose when the clock stops turning backwards. Some people will also remember but I don't know who."

Yoko looked at Nakada, "As long as we end up together and both of us alive in the end. But I don't want you to see my death again." Yoko stroked Nakada's face and she smiled.

"Don't worry about me."

"I do worry because you seemed almost dead to the world when it happened," he said still stroking her face.

"And if Talia hadn't interrupted me I would have been able to turn back time and not have to know how to do it. But I guess with all the knew things I learnt it is a good thing."

Nakada looked down and Yoko tilted her head up, "What's the matter Nakada?" he asked looking into her eyes.

She looked at him and he held him tightly, "Yoko while I was reading I learned that I could have stopped you from dying. My tears have healing powers that would have saved your life or I could have kissed you giving you some of my energy or both healing you even better."

Yoko held Nakada close pressing her head to his shoulder letting her cry, "Hush it's all right don't cry…Nakada look at me for a second." She pulled away from him for a second and looked at him, "My death might have been horrible but it was also a good thing. Because now you can turn back time and there could be a chance that Caralama can be yours and my child coming from you and not April. You wouldn't have to hide the fact in the first place that you are her mother and not April's and many other good things can happen because of what happened."

Nakada looked up at him with a smile, "You always seem to bring a smile to my face even in the gloomiest of times."

Yoko smiled, "I try my best," and he cupped her face, "Now why don't we try and start turning back the clock?" Nakada smiled and nodded.

Back in Demon World

Everyone was in the living room everyone but Nakada. They had all heard that Nakada could turn back time now so they were just waiting until she had gone over Yoko's death again. Caralama held on tightly Hiei and he did the same thing, "I might not be born," she said and everyone looked at her. She looked down, "I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing. I might not have to live with the nightmares Alfred gave me for nine years because of the Dark Signs."

"And there might be less pain as well," Sierra said and everyone nodded.

Jennah looked down and looked at Kuronue, "Don't worry we can always try again," he smiled as he caressed her face, "I know we will find each other again and have them as well," he wrapped his arms around her and placed his hand on her stomach as she leaned against him.

Everyone looked at the couple and Jennah sighed, "I'm pregnant with twin boys," she said answering their questioned faces.

Everyone nodded and smiled, "I have no doubt that you will find each other again," April said looking at them, "I also don't doubt that you have your sons as well but you will both have to wait a little longer."

Everyone heard Nakada's cry from her bedroom and everything began to change and seem to melt away. And then there was darkness.

Me: Well that pretty much well ends this story but I don't know if I should even bother writing another since I don't know if people are reading my stories or not.

Kuwabara: Hey don't give up yet.

Me: Why?

Yoko: Because I want to see if Nakada and I get back together. grins

Me: Well he way I'm thinking it is that there will be many stories after this one.

Hiei walks over to Nekeana and whispers.

Me: Hiei I never thought you would do that! smiles well it just depends on the people who read my stories. Because what is the point of writing stories that no one is going to read.

Hiei takes katana out and points it at readers: You had better review to get her to continue the story or I will hunt you down.

Everyone sweat drops.

Me: Thanks Hiei I think even if it is a flame I will accept it but please I need to know if anyone is reading my stories. Just one person will make me happy. See ya until next time.

Hiei still pointing his katana out at readers: You heard me.

Everyone goes.
