And the rest. . .

Hiei awoke with a fright. Someone was near, but he didn't know whom.

"Why, hello Hiei. I am the ghost of Christmas Present."

Hiei looked around him, but never saw the person.

"Down here, Hiei, down here."

The demon looked down to see Kurama. . . or to him a ghost. . . down in the snow. The spirit was dressed in a holly green, and a jolly red.

Hiei jumped down from the branches. "Hn."

The great ghost smiled. "Why hello, good boy. I am here to show you the present of all Christmas, this year.

The scenes around them changed, showing the fun that his friends were having.

"I thought you were the ghost of Christmas Present, not Past. . ."

sweatdrop "Well, you got me there. But these occurrences are apart of this Christmas so. . ."

"Hn."

Bits and parts of the night that had been, came back for Hiei to view. Yusuke blushing, Kuwabara smiling, Genkai being cheery, Kurama laughing, and many more.

"These people mean the most to you. Especially, your sister and that one fox demon."

Hiei blushed. He was really attracted to the other boy. "Hn."

"He means something special to you, for he was your first friend. Someone who actually cared for you. Like Yusuke and Kuwabara. I you let them, they can get closer as friends, too."

Hiei starred.

"They could all be close, and you could open their hearts as well." The phantom said. "You could even tell your sister."

Then, all of a sudden, the spirit was gone and Hiei was back in the tree.

Hiei woke up once more, seeing no ghost or spirit, but only hearing the fate cry of something moaning. He jumped from the tree, and followed it towards the pond. When he was there, Hiei saw a dark form.

"Hiei." It groaned.

"Shut-up, Botan"

The cheery grim reaper fell to the ground in surprise. "How did you know it was me?"

"I heard Kurama read the story."

Botan got up. "Well, sorry to say, but I am not the real ghost of Christmas Future. Only the person who announces the great presence." Then Botan had a microphone in her hands. "And now presenting the all time holiday spirit. . .drum roll please." drum roll "The creepiest, outrageous. . . ghost of Christmas Future!"

Suddenly, Botan disappeared, and a dark form was there in her place.

"Hn."

The form said nothing, but only pointed towards the side. A view of Yukina crying. That got Hiei's attention. Then, one of Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara. Of Jin, Touya, Suzuka, ShiShi, Rinku, Chuu. Of Genkai, Keiso, Shizuru, and Botan. All of them crying.

The shadow then pionted towards another part of the woods. There showed a picture of a grave. Hiei went towards it. It had the words:

Dedicated to

A beloved friend

Caring brother

Hiei

After that, the spirit left, and Hiei was in the tree once more. . .
