Hey thanx's for reading and reviewing...and thank u Etrenal Musing for ur beautiful reviews.

sniff I think I might cry...nah I'm kidding..but thanks for the review...on with chapter...um...uh...oh yea...CHAPTER10! Oh, and just so u know this "" means flashback...and this "" means time has passed...alright...ENJOY!

The rest after that is history...I spent three years there in the past. The first year was the hardest, but after awhile I got used to it. If your still wondering why I'm called "Astral" it's because I used a fake name. I didn't want my real name to be known back then, it wasn't until the third year...I told her my real name.

(back to flashback)

"Zee..."

"Yes."

"I have something to tell you,"

"What is it?"

"Well..." I had no idea how I was going to tell her. We barely confessed our love to each other, and shared a passionate night together. If I told her now that I've been lying to her for almost three years, she'd never forgive me.

"Astral...what is it?"

We where sitting in the middle of an open meadow. The wind was blowing softly against us, I turned to look at her. She had been looking at me, but turned her head to look out over the grass when I turned my head. It's been two days since that night...tonight would be the third. It might have had happened two days ago, but I remember it like as if it had just been two hours since.

I had woken up a few hours later after we made love...when I turned to look at her sleeping form beside me...I couldn't help but feel guilt. To think I've been lying to her all this time and she acts like as if nothings wrong...it's been bothering me since.

When I turned to look at her the wind picked up speed and blew her hair all around her. The moonlight shined off her white hair, making it glitter. I wasn't sure if I could tell this beautiful women my dark secret.

"Oh it's nothing...forget it." I lied to her once again.

"Oh...alright then." she said as she moved closer to me and kissed me softly on the lips.

I couldn't believe that someone with a stone cold heart like mine, could actually find true love. She melted my frozen self...and who would've known that nine months later...I would lose it all.

nine month's later

"What's happening to me!" I shouted in my head as a huge green light came out of nowhere engulfing my body. The light looked greatly familiar... "no...not yet...no!"

The light soon turned to flames that scorched my entire body. I tried to find a way out, but I couldn't see the light had blinded me. I screamed in pain as the flames burned me. I then felt something stab me in the hand. I touched the 'wound' with my other hand and felt something rough and smooth at the same time. "I can't leave right now..I can't! I still have so much to do...so much to ask...so much to say...and so much to care about." I thought of her...of how I was going to abandon my love...and my child...the flames grew more powerful and fierce.

"No! Let me go I can't leave...I can't!" I kept repeating to noone but myself.

"RELEASE ME!" I yelled loudly, but to no prevail. The light sucked out my spirt energy and I fell to the floor exhausted. I laid their ready to admit defeat...when I heard a voice.

"Lord Astral! Lord Astral!" I recognized the voice.

"Mizumi..." I whispered. I could hear her try to touch the flames, but ending up yelling in pain as it burned her. "Mizumi don't touch me!" I shouted. I picked my head up and I was able to make out her face.

"Oh lord Astral..."

"Mizumi, do me a favor."

"Anything my lord..."

I unsheathed my sword from my hip and I stabbed it into the ground.

"When I disappear...please tell Zee...that I'm very sorry for leaving her and my child, but I must leave... My time has come.

"No lord...don't say that," she whispered. "Think of the good things, think of your new son...you know Miss Zee named him Nak and..."

"Quiet women!" I shouted at her. Honestly...this women never shuts up, to think she's the doctor of the village. "Tell her that I am sorry and give her my sword."

"Yes anything else?"

"Also...tell her that Astral is really named...Hiei." I whispered to her. The flames quickly overtook my body and disappeared with it.

(time passes)

"Hiei...Hiei!" I heard someone shout. I opened my eyes and I saw a pair of green eyes looking right at me.

"Kurama?"

"No don't move Hiei...your seriously burned." I heard him say.

I looked around and saw the river that we had stopped at when we stole the items.

"What happened?"

"I have no idea...the only thing I know is that you just disappeared. It took me all day to get you back."

"What...how long was I gone?"

"Just today...I'm glad I was able to get you back." he then started to get to work on my burns. I just lied there and let him.

"So that's it...that's it...I lost them...forever." I wanted to show my emotion, but I couldn't not with Kurama here.

I'll never get to show my newfound emotions again.

(end of flashback)

I just lied there in the late blossom sakura tree. Still remembering the past, I just couldn't let go. Due to the time artifact I was there for three and half years...but in real life I was gone for one day.

Before I would secretly blame Kurama for my ruined new future, but I knew it wasn't his fault. I was never meant to be in that time...never.

Sleep soon overtook me and I dreamed of the past that was never meant to be.

(End of Hiei's p.o.v)

"Goodness, how long is he gonna be out?" she asked herself as she climbed off the couch. Kari looked down and looked at the sleeping Nak.

"Hey...your Kari right?" someone asked her. She turned around and looked at Kurama.

"Yea...what is it?"

"It's just that...I wanted to tell you that we found a place for you to stay...since you know we have no idea where you actually leave. And it's kinda obvious that you might not want to go back to where you once lived." he said as he handed her a pair of apartment keys.

"Thank you...thank you so much." she said as she took the key from his hand.

"Well let me show you where it is...I hope you don't mind walking with a complete stranger.

"No I don't mind. You are a friend of Nak, so I trust you."

"Well follow me."

She followed him out the door, but turned once more to steal a look at Nak..

"Thank you Nak." she whispered as she walked out the door.

So thank you for reading my story...I think this is a very good chapter...I liked it.

So thanks...please READ AND REVIEW!...oh and later's!
