Me: Hey! We're back.

Yuki: We had to go out and get a couple things.

Me: I'm assuming Hi-chan and Kurama did a good job with the last chapter.

Yuki: Well, everything's still intact in here, so I'd say yes.

Me: So sad, this is the last chappie! But it's a good chappie, a sad one, but a good one.

Yuki: Please R&R and tell HieisOAO what you thought of the fic overall.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or all its glory…yet.

The next day, at the house of the Yu Yu gang, the group received a visit from Koenma. The girls and Kurama were in the kitchen making breakfast, while Hiei and Kuwabara were shooting insults at one another. Yusuke was upstairs, still asleep.

'It still amazes me that those two bicker at each other,' Botan said.

'It's like they're married,' Keiko said. 'Like a lover's quarrel.'

'We all know that's not it,' Kurama laughed. 'They're both in love with someone else.'

'Good morning everyone,' Koenma said, popping up in the middle of the group.

'Baka ningen!' they heard Hiei yell.

'Moronic shortie!' Kuwabara yelled in response.

'They're at it again?' Koenma asked, sweatdropping.

'Yes they are,' Yukina answered.

'What's up?' Botan asked her boss.

'I'm here to tell you that your assignment is over,' Koenma answered.

'What!' Kurama exclaimed. 'Why?'

'Because you were supposed to give Sam the choice of staying in the Ningenkai, or live in the Makai, once she found out the truth about her family,' Koenma answered. 'She's chosen to stay here. So you guys have closed the case.'

'But I can't just leave her!' Kurama told the floating toddler.

'What's he doing here?' Yusuke asked between yawns, pointing to Koenma as he walked into the kitchen.

'To tell you that your assignment is over,' he answered.

'Really! You mean I can go home!' Yusuke asked. 'Hiei! Kuwabara! We can go home!'

'What!' Hiei yelled, running into the kitchen. 'What the hell are you talking about Urameshi?'

'Our assignment's over,' he answered.

'You can't be serious,' Hiei said. 'Whatever you guys do, I'm staying here.'

'But, Hiei,' Yukina started. 'What if they need you in the Makai?'

'The baka and Urameshi are strong enough. Anyway, Kurama'll be with them,' he answered, feeling bad that he decided to leave his sister.

'You can't stay here Hiei. Neither can you Kurama,' Koenma told the two demons. 'But you will be able to visit her whenever you want.'

'Do we at least get to say good-bye?' Keiko asked.

'Of course. Figure out how you want to say good-bye now,' Koenma answered.

'Why?' Botan asked.

'Because you're leaving tomorrow,' Koenma answered, and vanished.

'Tomorrow!' Kurama and Hiei exclaimed at the same time.

'We should have her stay here tonight,' Keiko suggested. 'That way it won't be a hello-good-bye thing.'

'I think we should,' Botan agreed. 'That way Kurama and Hiei can spend a lot of time with her before we have to leave.'

'When should Hiei go get Sam-chan?' Yukina asked.

'How about 5:00?' Yusuke suggested. 'That way you guys'll have enough time to talk and everything.'

'5:00 it is,' Kurama said, making it final.

Back at Sam's house, the three housemates were watching a movie. Sam wasn't really paying attention because she kept on having a bad feeling. A feeling like she was going to lose something, or someone. Around 3:30, Sam went up to her room and updated things she had online. Later on, she heard knocking. She turned around and saw Hiei at her window. She smiled, glad to see him, as she got up and walked to the window. She opened it so he could come in.

'You're here a little earlier than usual,' Sam smiled.

'Are you doing anything tonight?' Hiei asked, not smiling back like he usually did when he saw her.

'No, why?' she asked, losing her smile.

'Because we want you to stay at our house tonight,' he answered. 'We need to tell you something.'

'Okay, I'll tell Justin and Gary.' She walked out of her room and went downstairs.

While waiting for Sam, Hiei walked around her room, looking at everything, like he was trying to etch the layout of her bedroom into his mind. He then sat down on her bed and waited for her.

'They're cool with it,' Sam said, walking back into her room. 'Let me get some things first.'

Five minutes later, the two were outside, walking to the gang's house. The two never said anything when they were going to their house but, for some reason, the silence was really bothering Sam. She felt like Hiei was keeping something from her that she ought to know. Ten minutes later, they walked into the house. Sam noticed that everyone was in the front room, like they were waiting for the two.

'What's going on?' Sam asked, concerned.

'Like I told you, we need to tell you something,' Hiei said, leading Sam to the couch. She sat down next to Kurama, and Hiei sat down on her other side.

'We got a visit from Koenma,' Botan said, not in her usual chipper voice, but a calm, almost sad, voice.

'He told us that,' Keiko started.

'Our assignment is over,' Kurama finished, choking on the words as they came out.

'And?' Sam asked, afraid of what was coming.

'In other words,' Hiei started, not looking at Sam. 'We have to leave tomorrow.'

'What!' Sam exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes. 'No, you can't leave!'

'That's what Hiei told Koenma, but we have to go back,' Kuwabara said.

'But I don't want you to leave!' Sam said, crying. She buried her head into her arms, letting the tears fall freely.

'If it makes you happier, we can still visit you,' Yusuke said, trying to cheer Sam up.

'Do you guys mind if you let the three of us talk?' Kurama asked, holding Sam in his arms.

'No problem,' Kuwabara said as everyone, minus the three on the couch, got up and left the room.

'Sam,' Kurama started. 'Hiei and I don't want to leave you, but we have no choice. I don't want to know what's going to happen to us if we don't listen.'

'But I don't want you two to leave!' Sam said, lifting her head. 'I love you guys.'

'We love you, too,' Hiei smiled at her, stroking her hair. 'But I'm pretty sure that we'll get thrown into Spirit Jail if we don't obey Koenma.'

About an hour later, the three finished talking. Sam, who was now red-eyed and tearless, was still mad, but accepted the fact that they had to leave the following morning. That night, the group watched a movie and talked about everything that happened since Sam was told the truth about her family.

Later on, Sam was lying in bed, awake. She was thinking about everything that had happened to her in the last couple of months.

In Sam's mind

I wish for the gang to be real people so I could meet them, and it comes true. But I wasn't ready for what happened. I find out that I still have family, and they're demons! I fall even more for Hiei and grow strong feelings for Kurama, and now they're leaving me!

Normal

'I wish I never met them. That way I wouldn't be in this situation right now,' she said out loud.

After that, Sam fell asleep. She didn't notice Kurama sitting in the corner, tears streaking down his cheeks. He stood up, wiped his eyes, and waked over to his cousin. He leaned over her and kissed her. 'I'm really going to miss you,' he whispered, and walked out of her room.

The next morning, Sam walked into the kitchen and saw everyone at the table, eating. Sam took her seat in between Hiei and Kurama, and ate her breakfast. No one said a single thing until everyone was finished.

'It's time,' Botan said, breaking the silence.

'I can't believe that we're actually leaving,' Yusuke said.

'Guys,' Kurama said, looking at Sam, who was beginning to cry.

Five minutes later, everyone was standing outside the house.

'What's going to happen to the house?' Sam asked.

'That's up to Koenma,' Botan answered.

'I guess this is good-bye then,' Sam said, trying to hold back her tears.

She received a hug from everyone, including Yusuke and Kuwabara.

'You better visit,' Sam told Kurama when he hugged her.

'Don't worry, now that I've found you, I'm not losing you again,' he told her, and kissed her cheek.

'Same with you,' Sam told Hiei when they hugged.

'I'm going to visit you more often than Kurama does,' he smiled at her.

'You better,' she said, smiling back.

Hiei leaned in and kissed her on the lips, and held it there for over a minute. He broke the kiss and said, 'I love you.'

'I love you, too,' Sam said. 'I'm going to miss all you guys.'

'We will miss you, too, Sam-chan,' Yukina said.

'Call me Ayame,' she said, smiling at everyone.

Everyone said their final good-byes, and disappeared. Sam noticed that Kurama, Yukina and Hiei had tears streaking down their cheeks when they left. She saw something black shine on the ground and picked it up. She recognized it as one of Hiei's tear gems.

--A gift from all of us-- Hiei told her. --Good-bye--

'Good-bye, Hiei,' she said, tears falling from her eyes.

She wiped her tears and walked back to her house, not looking back once.

The End
