Not much more left to write. Only a few chapters left until this story comes to a close. Let's enjoy these last chapters. This isn't the last chapter though, but you can be sure it's coming. Someone doesn't like the way I've been treating Hiei. Hiei'shalfbrother called me a bitch. It was funny though. I hold no grudge. And IcyHeartShards finally reviewed. She was the first person to have this story on favorites and she never reviewed. Glad to hear from you. Well, let's start this thing.
Orpheus lost his beloved wife. He went down to hell to save her. He made a pact with Hades; he was never to look upon Eurydice while they were on their journey back to earth. Orpheus broke the taboo and looked upon his wife. Eurydice returned to the darkness, which would be her home for the rest of eternity.
"I'll never forgive you, Hiei." Kurama said.
"What? Kurama, what are you talking about?" Hiei questioned.
"You never came for me. You left me here in hell to suffer. Why did you lie to me? Why did you tell me you loved me?" Blood was still dripping from Kurama's chest from where he carved 'Hiei' into his body. He touched the blood then stared at it for a while. He finally turned his attention back to Hiei. "Why did you make me care so much about you? I did this to myself, but it might as well have been you to do this to my body." He said coldly.
Hiei was taken aback. This wasn't the loving fox demon he had remembered. His once emerald eyes were now a dull green and full of nothing. Hiei couldn't take looking into these eyes, but he refused to look away. He had to see the result of Kurama's untimely death. He had to convince to Kurama that he meant what he had said before. He loved him with all his heart. Hiei wasn't sure how to tell him though. How would he react if he told him what he felt? There was one way to find out.
"Kurama, I know that you're angry. You have every reason in the world to hate me. It was all my fault you died. If you hadn't been trying to protect me you would still be alive. But Kurama, I have come back for you. I'm here now to take you back home. Everyone is waiting, Kurama. I love you and I refuse to go back without you."
Kurama looked at Hiei with a strange face. Then out of nowhere he started to laugh. He was laughing so hard he held his stomach. Hiei wasn't sure of what to do. As suddenly as Kurama started to laugh, he stopped. "Hiei. How dare you. You don't care a thing about me anymore. I don't want to go back home. I'm fine here. But, I think I would love it if you would join me in my hell." Kurama pulled out two roses from his hair.
'Some habits never die. Perhaps Kurama is still somewhere inside this demon. This can't be the Kurama we once knew. He has to change back.' Yusuke thought to himself. He noticed one rose had blood on the end of it. That must have meant that the other rose was the one Hiei left here. Yusuke looked over at Hiei and saw that he noticed too. He watched Kurama turn the two roses into whips.
"Should we help Hiei?" Kuwabara asked.
"No. We can't interfere this time."
"Hiei. I will cut you down with this rose that you so graciously gave me."
Then Kurama ran at Hiei…
"What's this? Botan look at this!" Koenma called Botan over to where Kurama's body was. Botan looked into the glass coffin and gasped.
There were tears coming out of eyes of Kurama's corpse. Botan and Koenma looked at each other.
"I hope they make it out of there soon." Koenma whispered.
Botan continued to stare at the body. The tears never stopped.
I have to stop the story so abruptly because I'm gonna be gone for a weekend. It took me forever to update anyway. Well, stay tuned to see what happens next. By the way, when Yusuke thinks 'Some habits never die' he's referring to Kurama pulling the rose out of his hair.
