Grape: That last chapter... was so sad! WHAAAAA!

Flamer: Whatever. It sucked.

Hiei: Of course you're going to say that. You are 'Flame'r.

Flamer: acting like Kenshin That I am.

Grape: rolls eyes Dragonite doesn't own Yu-Yu-Hakusho because if she did...

Flamer: This story wouldn't suck!

Grape: You're mean!

Flamer: Don't make me tie you up in that crashing plane again.

Grape: OO;;;

Hiei: chuckles

Later, at night, Chi-Li entered the Holiday Inn that the vacationers were staying in. Even though she felt that Ruby was her own daughter, Chi-Li had to tell Ruby about her leave to the Makai.

As she reached the door to Ruby's room and knocked on the door, the dragon fox answered it, smiling brightly.

"Hi, Mo-... I mean... Chi-Li." She blushed.

It was pretty hard to say her old mother's real name after spending 16 years calling her 'mama'. It hurt Chi-Li, but she kept it firm, hugging her old daughter.

"Hello, Ruby-chan."

Kurama -reading a book- and Hiei -listening to music boredly- looked at Chi-Li. Kurama gasped lightly, knowing why Chi-Li had come. Hiei had no clue, but a look in the fox's face told him something was wrong.

"Ruby, there's something I must speak to you about... alone." Chi-Li said, not showing any emotion.

Kurama bookmarked his novel and Hiei left with him, making a course for Yusuke's room. Chi-Li sat both of them down, taking a deep breath.

"What is it, Chi-Li?" Ruby asked.

"Ruby, remember when you transformed last night?"

"Yes... what about it?"

The dragon mother once again sighed.

"It seems... that transformation has shown how powerful you are, and I'm proud of you, but in order to keep the Ningenkai in one piece... you have to leave with me tomorrow."

Ruby gasped.

"Nani! What do you mean? What have I done to this realm!" She panicked.

Chi-Li calmed Ruby down, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"When you transformed, several disasters happened on earth. It may not have happened in Japan, but those disasters happened unnaturally and another one of your transformations could tear the Ningenkai, if not the Earth, apart."

Ruby's eyes started to tear up. The one thing that seemed to attract her love, Hiei, was now her own undoing. There was such a thing as being too powerfultoo strong.

/- So, tomorrow I leave the world of humans. I'll leave Jason, Father... and Hiei here and start a new life. -/

Chi-Li saw that her daughter was getting the point and stood up.

"Meet Boton and I at the beach frontier. We'll be waiting. And don't make me come and drag you to the Makai, because I will if I have to." She stated and left the room, leaving a silent Ruby.

What was going through the dragon mutt's head at that time was crazier than anything her real mother, Kai, had ever done.

/- If this is going to be the end of my stay here... I might as well make it worth my while. No reason to be sore about it. I'll even make it clear to Hiei-san about how I feel -/ She thought as she left the room for Yusuke's to tell everyone about her knowledge about it.


"So Ruby's leaving?" Keiko asked, sadly.

"Yes. It's out of my hands. You might as well say goodbye to her now, because it'll be time for her to go tomorrow." Boton said, sitting down.

"I hardly got a chance to know her, and now she's going." Yukina frowned.

Hiei looked at his sister with slight sadness in his heart.He didn't know why he felt bad that Ruby was leaving. A part of him was glad the annoying mutt was about to leave his life... but to the other side, there was some unfinished business with Ruby.

"Isn't there some way we can have Ruby stay?" Yusuke asked.

Boton shook her head.

"Gomen, Yusuke. Unless you can drain some power from her before tomorrow, she's going to the Makai."

Everyone sighed, a little depressed. They all knew Ruby for such a short time and learned to respect and like her as a friend, and now she was leaving their lives forever.

"Well, don't look so glum, you guys!" A voice said from the door.

Everyone turned around to see Ruby, smiling brightly with a pack of soda in her hand.

"If I'm leaving, we might as well make the best of my presence."

"You're right. Hey, who's up for cards?" Kuwabara grinned.

The gang decided that moping around really wasn't going to help them and drank their sodas, having a grand time.

-Full Moon

Everyone had gone to their rooms, sound asleep.

A dragon and a fire yokai, however, couldn't sleep. Ruby, because Kurama had not come back from where ever he had gone and Hiei, because Ruby refused to turn off the room's light and he couldn't get any sleep.

"Please go to sleep, Ruby. Kurama can take care of himself." He huffed.

Ruby looked at him with worry, her orange eyes frightened.

"Are you sure? He may be Yoko Kurama, but I'm still worried."

Hiei had to smirk at Ruby's child-like behavior. It was... kind of cute that way she stood in the window, her beautiful orange eyes starring onto the street for her father. The way her silver hair was highlighted by the moon... the way her body was shaped from inside of her gown...

/- Wait a minute! I shouldn't be thinking so passionately about Ruby. Not that I'm frightful about Yoko's demands, but... I still don't have the right to love a dragon. -/

Suddenly, Ruby gained a glint in her eyes as she closed the curtains to the balcony window. She then walked over to Hiei's bed, but didn't lay next to Hiei... much to his surprise and annoyance.

"What, Ruby?" He asked, growling slightly.

Ruby's eyes seem to smile at him despite his threatening front, as if in denial. She dazed at his small figure laid on the bed in nothing but silk pants and his blood-red jewel looking back at her in kawaii annoyance.

"Hiei, you don't know how beautiful you look in my eyes right now... but, then again... you always look beautiful." She whispered.

The fire demon was flattered and more, looking away from the hinting dragon with a huff. Ruby sat next to Hiei, turning his head back on her.

"You don't have to be shameful, Hiei. Like I said before, all is forgotten, especially by me. I don't care about the past. I'm looking towards the future. The way I see it, I'm not with you in the future... but the present, here... and now."

She laid the fire demon under her body, for Hiei was still stunned by her loving words. He couldn't help but touch a lock of the mutt's silver hair, but reframed his hand in reflex and looked away.

"Ruby... you may think this is right, but me being with a race that I had treated so badly in the past is unheard of."

Ruby cradled Hiei's cheek, smiling in sympathy.

"You didn't treat anyone badly, Hiei-chan. You just... trained them harshly. Besides, it wasn't me."

Hiei moved against the back board of the bed away from her touch, still not understanding Ruby's, or his own, feelings. He wanted so bad to let this lump in his chest go, but his past wasn't allowing it. Suddenly, without warning, he felt his lips covered -not able to breath- and the lump was taken away. Ruby had kissed him, quite deeply and passionately. Hiei closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of his mental lump disappearing and of Ruby's soft lips with a softer moan.

Ruby gasped at the sound and ended the kiss, panting slightly.

The two looked at each other, highly confused of their actions, but the one kiss seemed to clear up their heads. Both of them smiled lovingly, holding each other in their arms.

"I love you, koi." They said in unison.

"That just leaves one more problem." Hiei stated, looking at the lamp.

The mutt smirked, turning the room's lamp off, leaving a comfortable darkness except for the moonlight coming through the curtains.

Ruby sighed; listening to Hiei's heart beat inhumanly. Three straight beats. The fire youkai smiled rarely, loving the body heat they shared. It was warmer than any heat he could produce. Slowly, he stroked Ruby's long, silver hair as she purred under his touch. The dragon gasped as Hiei's hand moved past her hair, against her lower back, and back to her hair.

She looked up at him, showing anticipation and fright.

"Hiei... are you accepting me?"

"Ruby, one thing about me is that if something starts -now matter who or what did- I have a tendency to finish it." He whispered.

Ruby smiled seductively, straddling Hiei's lap as the fire demon's back was still against the board. She made sure that he wasn't going anywhere.

"I'm glad to here that, Hiei. Now, there's something I must tell you."

Hiei waited.

"Hiei-kun, being half dragon, I think you know what happens if I mate under a regular moon."

"I'm fully aware of this... I didn't think I was mating with you." He sweatdropped.

Ruby smirked, licking his cheek lustfully.

"You didn't, but I did. I'm prepared to submit myself to you, no matter what the end result may be."

Suddenly, Hiei gently pushed Ruby off his hips. She was hurt to the heart that the fire had reframed from his warm embrace.

"Ruby, I can't go on with this if the outcome is uncertain. For your own safety, I will not continue with this."

Suddenly, Ruby's eyes flashed a bright orange, kissing Hiei against his say-so. An earthquake could be heard, shaking the ground. The fire demon looked into her eyes, seeing a wild hostility.

"Hiei, don't make me do this against your will. I love you too much to have forced love. I'm ready to become anything if it means spending a night with you before... I leave you..." She stated in sobs.

Suddenly, it started to rain blissfully as Ruby started to cry quietly.

Hiei sighed. He didn't want to see Ruby cry anymore than seeing Yukina weep. Another deep kiss stopped her flow of tears and the rain outside. The fire demon flipped the two of them over, still kissing her. He would carry out Ruby's request, and not hold anything back. If Ruby wanted his love before her leave, he would gladly give it to her, especially since he had a lot to give.

"I hope you're ready, Ruby. I'm much more experienced than you." Hiei chuckled, become more bold and passionate.

Ruby purred a response. "I need a good teacher."

The two embraced once more, their tongues dancing gracefully. Suddenly, the rain started to come back down. Hiei felt a soft fur on his thighs and saw fox ears emerging from Ruby's head and her human ears disappear under the growing hair.

"I think it adds a nice touch." She growled as her tail continued to graze Hiei's legs.

With that comment, Hiei knew Ruby was going to prove to be worth his time... and love.


Flamer: I have to admit, this was really good, except for some things.

What's that?

Flamer: 1; Hiei was too scared to mate, which is OOC and 2; THIS DIDN'T GO ALL THE WAY!

Pervert...

Flamer: I'm only being truthful.

Hiei: Please... I become worried about someone's well-being and this stupid Kirby thinks I've gone soft.

Flamer: That's right! I'm the big boss besides Dragonite around here and you're a softie!

Hiei: rolls eyes Please. I could knock you over with one finger.

Flamer: turns redder in anger I'd like to see you try!

Hiei: flicks Flamer with middle finger and Flamer instantly keels over Stupid Kirby.

Grape: oo; Okay... Hiei reigns supreme... review please. And for those who wanted to see the all-the-way scene, e-mail at the E-mail at the top of the story.

Flamer: makes a quick letter for the lemon, snickering hentai-ishly

Hiei and me: roll eyes
