Oh my god…here it is. The chapter…..the ending.
No Author's Notes on this one. Except one: This is a song-fic and I'm trying to make it depressing.

Previously:
The moment I felt the Sphere's warm presence beneath my hand, a blinding light emitted from its center and its energy was sent out at an amazing speed throughout the room, past the walls and outside, to reverse the job it had originally done…
I heard nothing as the large amount of energy sent me flying backwards, through the air…
I was out before I felt myself hit the floor.

Chapter 10: I Would Die For You:
Normal POV
--------------------------------------AT GENKAI'S TEMPLE--------------------------------------
Genkai froze when she sensed an immense amount of energy traveling towards her. Bracing herself, she protected her face with her arms as said energy flew into her, making her clothing and her hair fly.
It took all of Genkai's strength not to fall as the energy pushed past her and behind her, into the forest surrounding her temple.
Once the energy was completely gone, Genkai stood straight, her wide eyes faced in the direction the energy blast had come from.
…She had a bad feeling about something.
And if those damn kids weren't okay, she'd kill 'em.
------------------------------------------AT THE LAIR-----------------------------------------------
The bright light being emitted from the sphere disappeared instantly.
Silence filled the large room.
wish I could see you for one last time
wish I could say goodbye to you
Kurama stood, placing his red rose back into his hair as he looked around.
Kuwabara rid himself of his Spirit Sword.
Yusuke put the hands that were blocking his face at his side.
Hiei gripped his katana tightly, furiously searching the large, destroyed room for his intended.
His crimson orbs stopped cold on a limp figure lying near the far wall…
…and there was a 'clank' as his katana was dropped carelessly to the ground.
It's hard to deal with you dying
It's time to say goodbye to you
Kurama stifled a horrified gasp as he followed Hiei's wide-eyed stare. No, please…Kiya…
---
Hiei was at the figure's side immediately, kneeling as he stared down at the limp blue-haired girl. He refused to believe that it was real- it couldn't be.
Gingerly…slowly, Hiei let his unwrapped right hand touch the cold girl, then gently pushed on her shoulder and shifted her to her back, so that she was no longer lying face down on the ground.
Her eyes…her striking silver eyes…were closed.
---
"Oh god…" Yusuke's weary voice broke the sad silence of the room. Kuwabara gasped.
The two Spirit Detectives were about to run to Kiya when Kurama stepped in front of them, his green eyes cold and intense.
"Leave them." Kurama's usually calm voice wavered. Please don't let it be so…
----
bloody-faced
kissing death
walking through barbed wire
Yusuke and Kuwabara watched helplessly as Hiei, now on his knees, pulled Kiya's body onto his lap, nestling her head in the crook of his arm. His other arm was securely around her waist.
The Jaganshi stroked back a piece of blue hair that had fallen into his intended's unmoving face, hiding her still features.
He retracted his hand almost immediately. Her skin was losing its lively warmth.
---
No one noticed the silver haired teen sitting in the corner, clutching his bleeding stomach. The wound had been caused by a piece of debris that had beensent flying by the Sphere's energy wave. He stared at the scene before him, not even acknowledging the fact that his dead brother's body, and the bodies of the two other Elementals lay not 10 feet from him…dead.
'She knew this would happen.' He stated to himself. 'She knew that if she destroyed the Sphere, all the Elementals would die…not excluding her. She did it knowing that she would…die…'
----
Hiei quickly removed his cloak with one hand, placed it around Kiya's shoulders, then returned his hand to its position at her waist- even though he knew that the cloak would do no good… she was already dead.
Her aura no longer burned proudly around her small frame, and her life energy was gone. She was dead.
I'll let you go
let me go
digging through myself
The koorime was beyond any emotions…any words. He refused to believe that Kiya…his Kiya…the only person besides his sister to ever break through his tough façade and make him feel loved…was gone.
He gazed longingly into her still features; her light pink lips were closed gently- never to opened again, her dark eyelashes lay against her cheek- never to be batted in annoyance again, and her eyes were concealed from the world, from him- never to stare into his own eyes again.
Acting on impulse, Hiei gently raised Kiya's stiff body closer to his own, tightening his grip on her and burrowing his face into her once magnificent blue hair. He shook his head side to side, all the while thinking, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!
Why? Why did this happen to him?
Because he let it happen! It was his fault Kiya was dead! His fault that she had been taken from him in the first place. He wasn't able to protect her…pathetic.
He had never been worthy of her love. He was the Forbidden Child, damn it! This is the reason why! Because he was not meant to be loved- to be close to anyone! He had been shunned by his own people… If they couldn't love him- if the one woman who had given birth to him couldn't love him, then no one could.
I would die for you
I'd walk right through barbed wire
He clutched her still form closer to his tense body, his mind void of any thoughts, save Not her…not her…
Unconsciously, Hiei slowly began to rock Kiya's lifeless body back and forth in a soothing rhythm, bringing one of his hands to the back of her head and stroking her hair ever so gently.
------
The scene in front of them was almost hypnotic in its sadness, it hopelessness- but Haku still found a way to rise to his feet and slump over to Yusuke, Kurama and Kuwabara, who were all too caught up in the scene to even grace his presence with a glance.
Haku eyed the blue bird Sasha as she glided gracefully to the ground, not 5 feet from her deceased master, but alsonot daring to get any closer. His eyebrows raised in realization.
He leaned into Kurama's ear and whispered, "Can one be resurrected by Reikai?"
Kurama glared at Haku for interrupting a moment such as this for a meaningless question, but answered it anyway in a hushed voice. "Perhaps, if there is a little piece of that person's soul still in existence." Kurama realized where this conversation was going. "Kiya; her body and soul, was destroyed by the Sphere. There's no way to bring her back."
"That's not true."
----
Hiei kept his crimson eyes shut tightly, since it hurt him too much to have them open and to see his dead koi lying in his bruised arms.
"Don't. Touch. Me. Onna." He said through gritted teeth.
"Hiei…put her down." Came the warning voice of Kurama behind Hiei.
Hiei gave her a death glare, before taking a step away from her and letting her fall to the ground. She landed on her knees, clutching her throat, thankful it was still intact.
"Hn. Despicable onna." He hissed before disappearing through the window.
Kurama helped Kiya to her feet.
"Is he always such an ass?"
good luck in your next life
walk as tall as the trees
be gentle as spring winds
and have the warmth of summer sun
Kiya looked up from her pop-tart to the Jaganshi who had not stopped staring at her. She glared at him.
"Hn. You're obsessed with those things."
"I am not obsessed!" She stated, appalled, after she had swallowed the piece of pop-tart in her mouth.
Hiei just smirked and walked closer to her, not breaking their eye contact. Kiya's stomach immediately began to flutter. Hiei just kept on walking closer to Kiya until he was right up against the counter, inches from Kiya- who was at this point frozen.
Kiya wasn't sure what Hiei was going to do. He was just standing there in front of her, looking all emotionless….focused……stoic……incredibly hot…….
….she really needed to stop thinking like that. Kiya saw Hiei's smirk deepen and his Jagan glowed from beneath his bandana.
Damm it!
Kiya blinked, desperately trying to clear her mind before Hiei's Jagan could find some of her more….naughty thoughts. As soon as she opened her eyes again, she felt a weight being quickly lifted from her right hand. Hiei's eyes were still looking into hers, but she finally broke the stare to look down at her hand…..
……that was now empty……
The realization hit Kiya almost immediately. She looked back at Hiei, giving him her greatest death glare…..which of course had no effect on the Jaganshi.
"Hand. Over. The. Pop. Tart."
I would die, die for you
I'd walk right through barbed wire
I blame myself for your death
it's tearing me apart
"I do not deserve your tears…" he muttered almost silently to himself as a clenching in the pit of his stomach tore him away from his stubborn anger. As quietly as he had said it, Kiyastill heard it.
"Yes you do……….Hiei, I love you." Kiya had let the words fall out of her mouth before she even had the chance to think them over. But now it was too late to regret them……..if she did regret them. She was actually very relieved to have that off of her chest.
Hiei turned to her, his arms falling from the crossed position in front of him to down at his sides, hanging limply. Kiya repeated herself in a quivering whisper. "I love you, Hiei."
"No you don't…" He sounded as if he were begging her to change her mind.
Kiya just nodded, knowing that she was at a serious loss for words. 'Yes I do Hiei.' She preached in her mind, hoping that by thinking it, she could send the belief onto the Jaganshi.
Hiei just barely shook his head. "I am the forbidden child; therefore I am incapable of loving and being loved."
"Well obviously that stupid title of yours is wrong."
Hiei's emotions finally resurfaced. They were coming…slowly, but they were coming.
The Jaganshi had to gently remove himself from the tight embrace he had created and laid his koi onto the ground to refrain from harming her in the fit of rage that he felt approaching.
Even before he had placed Kiya's body onto the ground, a feral snarl had begun in the back of his throat. As soon as Hiei had stood slowly and taken a few steps away from Kiya, the snarl resonated into a loud roar and Hiei flitted over to the wall, punching it furiously. Chunks of rock went flying as he continued to punish the innocent wall, letting out his frustration….his anger…
…his failure.
---
Kurama, after gazing worriedly at his distraught friend and after realizing there was nothing he could do to help him, he turned to Haku.
Then he registered what the silver haired teen said, and his eyes widened.
"What?"
"That's not true," he repeated. Haku pointed to Sasha. "In order to be called 'Kiya's familiar' Sahsa must have a certain link, a certain connection to Kiya. In every Elemental phoenix- according to the book of the Elementals- is a piece of their master's soul. Without it, the familiars would not have been able to telepathically communicate with their masters." Haku's voice raised for two reasons. One: to be heard over Hiei's yelling and Two: because he was getting excited; he had found the loophole that might save his friend! "We could use that piece of Kiya's essence to bring her back!"
Kurama's eyes widened. But his demeanor soon turned grave yet again. "There is a problem with your plan. The resurrection procedure is incredibly unreliable. Even if there were a large amount of Kiya's essence left- and within Sasha there is onlya scarce amount- there would still be room for error, and then Kiya would never be able to come back…"
Yusuke and Kuwabara, who had overheard the conversation and who were at this point too stunned to even speak, gulped.
"Yes. But what's worse? Trying to bring her back and failing- or living our lives knowing that we could've tried?"
---
Hiei's fists and face were bloodied from the contact with the rugged rock, and his once mighty cries had died in his sore throat. Hiei helplessly turned back to Kiya's body, slowly staggering to it.
He kneeled next to her once again, his rage now subsided.
He bent over her body, inching his face closer to hers.
Blood dripped from an open wound on his forehead and landed on Kiya's cheek as his lips met Kiya's in a cold and lifeless kiss. This was to be their last kiss…
I would die, die for you
yes I would
let you go
let me go, digging through myself
Hiei's shoulders rocked as he fought back another cry of despair, and he placed his hands beneath Kiya's back and brought her upper body to his chest, nuzzling his face in her cold neck once again.
"Kiya," he whispered, his pleas lost to un-hearing ears. "Kiya…."
bloody-faced
kissing death
walking through barbed wire
"I love you," Hiei's words wavered, and he buried his face further into Kiya's neck.
A miniscule 'clank' was unheard as a black tear gem fell to the floor.

Aaaannnddd The End!
Aw, I almost cried writing this, it was so cute.
So is Kiya coming back? Will I even attempt to make a third part to this story?
You bet your happy asses I will!
Next chapter is the epilogue- and I think I feel some flames coming on- just remember to be gentle people, I am a sensitive person. (snicker.)
Review! Review! Review! Kendra likes reviews!
No joke for this one- I'm all out of funny, again.
