END OF REIKAI
"They didn't listen," Botan told him sadly, crying hard. "Koenma didn't listen and now..."
"And now they're gone, end of story. Really, your making too much of a fuss about this."
She looked up at him, pink eyes shining angrily.
"You don't care...? He was your friend and you don't care..." Hiei shook his head.
"Toddler was more like a jailer then anything else, and I was his prisoner. Everything comes to an end, onna. And everyone has an end."
"So, this is the end of the line...?"
"Yes."
She shifted in his arms, her face moving closer in the crook of his neck. Botan sighed.
"I'm kinda glad that the rest of the gang isn't alive. You know, so they won't have to see this."
"Perhaps."
"I still don't understand why..."
"Why it's ending? We will never know."
"But, you knew it would end."
"And that is the gift and curse of the Jagan."
"Oh..."
Botan still didn't understand. Hell, she didn't even understand why she was the lover of Hiei. But, did it matter?
"What ends next?"
"Which world, do you mean? Well, Ningenkai got lucky; Makai's going next."
"Mukuro's there."
"And do I really care about that bionic bitch?"
"What about Yomi?"
"Kurama's lover? Well, he'll meet the fox then." Botan blinked.
"You don't care, do you?" Hiei inclined his head to look at her.
"No." And he kissed her.
END OF MAKAI
"Two down, one to go." Botan turned to face her unclothed lover.
"What would they say if they saw us like this," she wondered out loud. Hiei smirked.
"Their faces would be the epitome of what the fuck." Botan couldn't help it, she giggled.
"True. I hear that Makai went down in ice; the floating island of Koorime went berserk. How will Ningenkai end?"
"Dunno, don't care." Hiei smirked again and pulled her close.
"That's it, you just don't care?"
"Yep."
"Okay..."
"You care, don't you onna?"
"Yes, I do."
"Okay..."
And they lay there in silence, listening outside as someone screamed. Botan sighed.
"It's happening here already."
"Yes, it is."
"Hiei, do you love me?" Crimson eyes found pink. Hiei sighed, and he flipped their positions.
"I'll tell you when the world ends."
End of Ningenkai
Botan found him on a roof, watching the flames lick at passerby. She sat down next to him.
"This is it."
"Yes, it is."
"And you don't care...?"
"Not really, no."
"Oh..." Someone screamed and the flames rose higher.
"Was this how you wanted the humans to die?"
"No, I would have preferred something slower."
"That sounds like you."
"It does, doesn't it?" Botan looked at Hiei.
"You haven't answered my question."
"Which was...?"
"Do you love me? You said you'd tell me when the world ends, and its ending."
Hiei thought for a few minutes before wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer. Botan rested her head on his shoulder.
She looked up at him, and he smirked in his mysterious way.
"I'm not sure I know what love is." Botan smiled.
"Okay."
And together, they watched the end of the world.
