Chapter 12

Broken Contract

"So, what are we going to do now?" She asked, her head resting on top of her drawn up knees.

Kin slowly poked at the small fire he had built before settling down beside her. He wrapped his arms around her, trying to keep her warm.

"I don't know. I guess... we can make a life here for ourselves."

Kaiya was silent as she stared at the burning embers of the fire that roared upwards into the star filled sky. She knew she had to say something now, or else she would lose the courage to.

"Kin?" She asked timidly.

"Yes." He answered, not noticing the shyness in her voice.

She turned towards him, her eyes sparkling with unsettled emotions.

"I... love you." She half whispered.

Silence.

Kin reached out for her and pulled her close to him, smiling into her hair as he hugged her.

"I love you too, Kaiya."

"I already told you, she broke the deal. Now she has to pay for it." Koenma repeated in an annoyed manner.

"But... but we can't-" Kuwabara was cut off as Koenma raised his hand, signaling silence.

"I know that you may have become somewhat attached to her, but she made a deal and broke it. She's dangerous, and if she doesn't pay off her debts, then I cannot and will not release her. I want you to bring her back, is that understood?"

Yusuke and Kuwabara nodded. Hiei only saw blackness as his eyes were closed once again. He could care less about everything that was happening, especially since it had to deal with Kaiya and her little boyfriend.

As the others got up to leave, he got off the wall and walked after them but was stopped.

"Hiei, please stay behind. I need to talk to you."

He did as he was told. He stood in the middle of the room as the doors closed behind him, and looked over at Koenma.

"Since Kurama is taking sometime for himself to be with his family, I want you to make sure that they do as I say. They might have a problem with dealing with her, but I know I can count on you, right?"

Hiei's eyes were blank, his face devoid of all emotion, yet his stomach turned and his chest ached. What was wrong with him? Why should he care?

"Hn."

He left the room in no hurry, with Koenma looking after him.

Kaiya washed away the pain, the regret, and everything she felt at the moment in her heart under the cold water that was pounding down on her. She cleared her mind of everything, wanting to feel nothing.

There were so many things going on, some that were good and others that were bad. She just didn't know what to do with them all. Could her and Kin really just forget about everything and start a new life here? What about him having to leave her someday? She knew she loved him, but could she really start a life and a family with him and then just let him leave her when the time came? Could she stop him, or did he have to leave?

Did he have a choice?

If he did, then she knew he would stay. So, what was it that he had to leave her for?

"Dammit, I'm always thinking about something." She muttered to herself. She opened her eyes and took in the dark surroundings. The night was warm and lit up by the moonlight. She had left Kin, knowing that he was asleep, so she could take a nice rinse in the water.

So far, it was nice. Except for the fact that she kept on thinking.

Just then, a twig snapped and her eyes peered around her. She waited. Whatever it was had covered up its scent and energy level. She didn't like the aspect of fighting naked, but then again, it could be just Kin. He no longer had a scent since he returned back to his normal self, out of Zinan's grasp, and he had no energy level since he was nothing but a living corpse.

She still waited, and then to her surprise and horror, Yusuke and Kuwabara came out from the brush.

"Kaiya?"

"What are you two doing here?"

They didn't look at her, just at the ground in front of them.

"We need you to come back with us."

Silence.

"I can't go back."

Yusuke looked up at her, his eyes darker than usual, even if it was night time.

"You don't have a choice."
