Chapter 22

I would like to apologize for chapter 21. I have no clue what is going on, but that wasn't supposed to happen! I am so sorry! Please forgive...

Here is chapter 21! Thank you for your reviews!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho...o.O

The team fell to the ground their eyes stinging from the bright white light. "MAMA!" Kira shouted watching Keiko fall to the ground.

Hiei turned to his wife fearing the outcome.

She lay on the concrete ground her chocolate brown hair trailing her face. Her skin a milky white, as pail as a white rose. She had her eyes closed tears streaming down her lips never parting for breath.

"Mama..." Kira whispered crawling to her mother's fallen figure.

Once she made her destination the young girl flung her arms around her mother and cried. "This is all my fault!" She shouted. "Mother wake up...WAKE UP!" She shrieked shaking Keiko.

Keiko's body swayed with each shake and fell limp to the ground once Kira let go.

"Ma...ma..." Kira stuttered her eyes never leaving the body.

Hiei walked towards the two as the team stayed silent mourning over Keiko.

He kneeled next to her and silently picked her up into his arms for a last embrace.

"My dear Keiko...always thinking of others...always..." He smiled sadly brushing stray hairs from her face.

"Keiko do you love me…?" He whispered, expecting an answer.

"I will always love you..." Her voice whispered in his mind.

He opened his eyes and stared at his beloved frowning at reality. "Come back to me...don't leave me alone again..." He mumbled tightening his grip.

Botan sighed at the predicament as painful tears streamed down her face. She had to face it, her best friend was dead. She placed her hands over her face and kicked at the debris that the damn demon had left. He...was gone...and so was Keiko.

Yusuke placed a hand on her shoulder holding back tears. "Botan report this to Koenma...the demon's dead..." He whispered.

Her eyes flew open at Yusuke's statement. "Don't you even give a damn!" She angrily shouted.

"Just go Botan...please..."

She nodded angrily and made her oar appear. She swiftly got on it and flew off into the air.

"Hiei, we have to go...we have to give Keiko a proper burial..." Kuwabara informed hiding his sadness.

"Kuwabara please give him a few more minutes...then we shall leave..." Kurama stated stepping out into the hall.

The orange haired teen nodded in response and followed.

Ing and Zi watched the family as they mourned for the fallen lady. Zi sighed in remorse and quickly disappeared as Ing sat on the ground. "I couldn't do anything...I let someone die yet again..." He whispered holding his head in pain.

Kira watched Ing's action and cried harder hugging herself tightly. "Mother please come back! Mother! Listen to me! MOTHER!" She shouted her voice growing raspy.

"MAMA! I MISS YOU! MAMA!" She continued falling to the ground, her small fists banging the floor lightly.

"Why..."

Hiei heard his daughter's shouts and laid Keiko down gently. "Keiko...there is nothing I can do. How I wish I could just raise you from the dead...how I wish...I wish..." He broke down. A tear sliding down his face his cold eyes shutting.

"Keiko...you idiot! Why did you die...why didn't you let me protect you...WHY!"

"I'm sorry..."

Hiei opened his eyes at her soft voice looking around. "Keiko?"

"I'm sorry..."

"Keiko where are you! Keiko!" He shouted standing up. Kira looked at her father sadly. "Father she's gone..."

"Hush child!"

"Hiei I'm sorry...for everything...I'm sorry!"

A figure appeared before them dressed in a silky white gown.

"Keiko?" Hiei asked walking to her.

Keiko took a step back raising her hand to her face. It faded a little sending waves of mist.

"Im dead..." She whispered.

Hiei ran to her trying to embrace her. But his arms only cut through thin air making him fall forward. He turned to look at his wife and cursed under his breath. "Keiko?"

"Mama!" Kira cried happily running to her mother. She made a move to grasp her mother's hand only to find her hand go through hers.

"NO! Mother...mother..." Kira cried kneeling to the ground.

Keiko watched her daughter sadly and tired placing her hand on her face.

"Kira...I am sorry. But I have to leave you. Remember I will always love you...you are what brightens my day. Keep your father together and Ing please take care of her..."

Ing nodded turning in shame.

"Do not feel ashamed my dear boy. You had nothing to do with this...I am sorry that you had to see me die though...Hiei? Hiei I will always love you and my heart will always belong to you...you will never be alone..."

"You said that you never wanted me to leave you...but here you are leaving me..." He whispered looking at her sadly.

"Hiei I did what I had to! I love you so much, I don't want to leave you! I don't!" She cried.

"Keiko...please don't leave...you can't we still haven't lived together long enough! Keiko you will not leave me!" He shouted.

She looked up at him sadly. "I wish I could stay...but...oh no...something's pulling me..." She cried reaching out for Hiei.

"Hiei don't leave me!" Keiko cried

Hiei reached out to grasp her hand only to have her fade away from his vision.

"KEIKO!" Hiei cried. Kira screamed out in pain and cried for her loss.

"MAMA!"

"Botan what have you come to inform me?"

"Keiko is dead..." She whispered.

Koenma sighed and smiled.

"Then I guess we just have to do something about it don't we?"

Botan stared at him a smile plastered on her face.

THAT IS THE END! Well not the end only the end of chapter 22...I hope it wasn't bad...I thought it was bad. I hope it wasn't though.

I hoped you enjoyed it!
