And we're back!

Flamer: With beautiful, lustful, blood-pumping...

Grape: ...romance!

Flamer: I wasn't going to say that...

Hey, guys. Have you seen Hiei?

Flamer: No, he's in this chapter gettin' Ruby, so he won't be here.

Grape: Flamer! Bad Kirby!

Flamer: Okay, he's just in it.

Okay. No more disclaimers because Flamer Kirby don't feel like saying them anymore.

Flamer: Let's just say if Dragonite owned Yu-Yu-Hakusho, Kurama would be a gay-ass bastard trying to get Yusuke and Hiei anytime he could.

Hiei and Grape: OO;step away from Flamer beforeI comes and destroys them all.

Flamer, I summon you to live in the Pokemon Pit until this chapter is over!

Flamer: a hole suddenly opens under Flamer and he falls into a sea of pokemon Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

Pokemon are evil. Even though I bare the name of one, it was a bad habit that I, lucky, broke. Now, I have Yu-Yu-Hakusho and other animes to be hooked with. On with the fic!


In the morning light, Kurama sat in the hotel arm chair, silently reading his novel. As his eyes wandered off the pages, he smiled at what laid in the one of the beds in front of him. Ruby safety tucked in Hiei's arms. The two looked so peaceful together. Even though Hiei had gone against his word of not being with Ruby, the fox let it go.

In fact, he let everything go since last night while the rest of the gang partied inside.

-Last night

Kurama had not walked back to the hotel when the beach party was over. No, he had found a hill that stood high enough to gaze upon the whole ocean and the shining stars above. As he sat down in the grass of the hill, the wind combed through his hair as Kurama's mind raced.

/- Tomorrow. Why tomorrow? It seems too soon to part with Ruby. She's my daughter, my flesh and blood! I've only known and bonded with her for a half of a mouth, and now she's leaving. I feel... like if I let her leave into the Makai, she will be eaten alive by demons and creatures. I can't protect her in the Makai, but here, she's a threat to Earth. -/

The fox was too scrambled in the head. All at once, his parental instincts were surfacing, but nothing could be done about Ruby's leave. Kurama was powerless for once.

Suddenly, as he peeked down on the beach fronts once more, his eyes narrowed and blinked at a figure coming down the dark line of the beach.

It was hazy at first and didn't seem real under the night sky, but suddenly, Yoko knew exactly who it was. It took Kurama some time, but he, too, came to see.

Her hair flew with the cool beach wind like petals, dancing with each breeze. Her body was strong, but attractive. Her deep orange eyes held a past to fear, but envy. Wings of black came out from her back. Clothes from an ancient race covered her chest and hips. She walked with pride and love in her heart.

Kurama's body immediately turned into Yoko's. He jumped down from the hill and landed in front of the woman's path. The woman came closer, becoming clearer in view, but as Yoko's eyes focused more in the dark light, his mind came back to reality.

The woman was really a ghost. But not just any ghost...

"Kai?" He whispered.

Non-the-less, Kai stood in front of her past lover, smiling as if she was still alive. Yoko looked as if he was about to cry, but Kai beat him to it, with a ghostly tear running down her cheeks. Yoko knew this woman was Kai... for she held the tradmark scar over her right cheek.

"Yo-kun... it's been too long." She whispered, her voice sounding hauntingly.

The spirit fox managed to smile back.

"I wholly agree. Are you..."

"... Dead? Yes, unfortunately." She sighed.

"Then how are am able to..."

Suddenly, Yoko could feel Kai's slender arms wrap around him, sending him to cry silently. To his surprise, Yoko could embrace her back, but his tears fell on the sand and not on Kai's shoulder. They both talked in whispers, enjoying each other's company.

"Please don't cry, Yo-kun. It doesn't suit you. Dragons never really die. Our ghost-like bodies haunt the Makai until the day we recive a reincanate. I've managed to break a portal to the human world, just to see you." Kai explained.

"I needed that. I've missed you so." Yoko whispered, their hair dancing with the wind once more.

"So did I."

Another wave of silence washed over them. The fox still couldn't believe Kai was in his arms now. Another soft tear dropped to the sand. Kai noticed and decided to speak.

"I've noticed you've found our daughter. Thank you, Yoko, for teaching her of life, but leaving to the Makai is natural for a dragon. We never stay in the Ningenkai unless we have to."

"But, Ruby doesn't have to leave, Kai-san." Yoko argued quietly.

Kai put a figure to his lips to silence the fox.

"Listen. The Earth can't take Ruby's presense any longer. She must go tomorrow. Don't worry about her being alone... for you can rest knowing that her mother is going to take care of her." She whispered, tears once again running down her cheeks.

Yoko smiled once more, a mental weight being lifted. He no longer had to worry about Ruby's safety. Kai was going to take care of her. Suddenly, Kai started to whisper lovingly again.

"Yo-kun, you must also let Ruby love... who she wants to love."

The fox gasped. How did Kai know about Hiei and their daughter?

"Even though Hiei was a horrible person in the past, he literally saved us from further abuse by wiping everyone's memory."

"I will never forgive him for what he did!"

Yoko raised his voice to a yell as his body tensed in Kai's arms. She looked up at him and shivered with the cold chills that came from the fox's orbs. His eyes were full of anger and hate for the said fire demon. She knew that look too well and almost cowered. Then, Yoko's body relaxed once more and his voice became silk.

"Hiei's the reason... I forgot about you, koi," Yoko whispered, holding Kai's cheek lovingly. "That fact will leave a scar upon me that will never dissapear, just like yours..."

Kai sighed, but then became firm.

"You must look at the bigger picture, Yo-kun. If he didn't erase everyone's memory, Ruby wouldn't be free right now."

Yoko gasped, looking at Kai's serious eyes. He realized he was being very selfish about Hiei's selfless deed and now saw it for what it really was.

"Hai, Kai-san. If was for the best. I shall allow their relationship, it being as short as it is."

Kai giggled.

"If destiny calls, those two will meet again... just like I will with you." Kai whispered.

Suddenly, she started to walk out of the fox's warm arms, but Yoko wouldn't allow it. He pulled the dragon back into his embrace and against his lips. Even though Kai was dead, her lips couldn't have been warmer. It was the softest gesture either of them had since their short days together. They stayed locked in their bliss, forgetting what breathing was. The lovers made it last, until Yoko -being alive- had to breath and broke it gently.

They gazed at each other, tears running down their faces uncontrollably. They didn't want to leave each other again, but it was out of their hands. Finally, Yoko's arms opened and Kai walked away backwards, never taking her eyes away from her love.

"Remember, I shall protect her and always love you..."

And with that, Kai dissapeared from Yoko again, just like Ruby was to do tomorrow. Still, Yoko's tears dried with another wind and he neither cried more nor frowned. This was the pain he was going to have to go through when his daughter left, and he could only hope that Kai would take care of their offspring in the cruel world of the Makai.

Slowly, Yoko changed back into his ningen form of Kurama, smiling. He had his peace of mind back and headed for a course back to Hoilday Inn. He was quite tried from the experience.

-Present

Kurama then vividly remembered the emotions he had experiencedwhen he opened the door to his room. Ruby and Hiei were already fast asleep in each other's arms as nude as they were at birth. Instead of becoming upset, Kurama enjoyed the picture and even saw it as 'cute'.

In the end, he had slipped into bed and went to sleep, where he woke up the next day, finding them still asleep. He took this time to read his novel and gaze upon the two.

/- Since Ruby hasn't awaken, the trait of the Death Moon is gone. That's good. -/ Kurama thought, once again looking at the snoozing couple. /- They look so peaceful together. So natural, like it was meant to be .-/

Finally, the fox saw some movement in the sheets as Hiei's eyes opened slowly.

"Ah, you're finally awake, Hiei." Kurama smiled.

The fire demon was so alarmed by Kurama's presense that he literally fell out of bed... dragging Ruby down with him. The two fell down on each other, so the sheets covered them and their lips touched. That woke Ruby up and they both blushed up at Kurama, who was laughing softly.

"You two aren't morning people." The fox chuckled.

The two contiuned to blush. Kurama knew why.

"Don't worry. No love is forbidden. You two should bond as close as possible," Kurama started, passing by the embarressed pair. He then turned around, he eyes full of a 'good luck'. "because today's the day, Ruby-chan."

The mutt nodded, her eyes still sleepy. Kurama nodded, then left the room. Ruby once again blushed as Hiei's arms creeped around her waist, pulling her closer.

"You heard Kurama. We should bond closer before you leave." He whispered, pouring hot breath on her ear.

All Ruby could do was melt under the yokai's expert hands and lips as they woke her up from her morning spell.
