Chapter 28 Farewell and Goodbye
Yomi turned using the last bit of his spirit energy used it to activated the self-destruction mode of the house that he had put within his house.
Kurone saw the danger that Yomi had put them all in. "HE's clasping the house. GET OUT NOW!" He yelled.
He grabbed up Raven and his wife's wrist running to the window, he opened his wings and took her and looking at the others saw that they all seemed to be following his example.
He jumped, little Raven screamed at the sudden drop and clutched her daddy's neck tightly.
Dark was still in shock, her friend wasn't coming back. (so she thought)
Youko looked at the chaos and meyhem that Yomi had just activated and his resolve broke. A death tree exploded from his hand and grabbed Yomi. Yomi was not being dripped on by the death plant.
He walked over and said in a death-cold voice, "Farewell you son of h. May you roast , and be tortured forever."
He watched with no amusement as Yomi over used his vocal cords as toes and fingers were lost one by one, then other bodily parts, till there was nothing but pieces left.
Looking to where his friends and old friends had jumped to escape the collapsing of the building and sighed, he didn't want to leave. His dearest was gone. So he would die also.
Light meanwhile was just about to leave when she asked Morning and Evening, "Why is it that I have to go where you two are much more powerful than me and you can't do it?"
Morning smiled and said, "We are much like just a piece of the clock." pointing to the grandfather clock and said, "When that clock starts to dong the final note of the 12th hour we become wood and solid again. So we can't leave this area for fear that we never get back in time. We must then just have someone to help us get these things done and it just happens to be your families bloodline."
"Oh, well I better get this done then I can go home." She said smiling
"You must remember that you have a weakness to obey our calling. When you have completed this then we will call you back and release you from this contract." Evening said nodding.
"So you might seem to be gone by everyone else's standards but we will send you back to have a lift if all goes well." Morning said with a bittersweet smile.
Light nodded understanding their reasoning and then stepped through the portal
Upon entry she found herself in a terrible war zone. The room was shaking like a fair ground shaking machine. Things were moving like it was an earthquake and the could barely steady herself as the pain from her earlier injuries flaired up. She stumbled and fell to her knees, there across the room she saw the mirror. She stood to go and rid this world of the wretched piece of glass, when she saw a flash of Silver to her left.
There standing barely 4 feet from her was the one thing that was dearest to her heart. Youko.
She stood and went over to Youko. Once steadying herself put a hand on Youko to turn in around to face her, as she touched him she found him to be shaking.
As she touched his shoulder, he whipped around and nearly slammed her to unconciousness into the nearest wall.
Youko saw who it was and released her only to stand there shocked.
"L…Light, is it really you?" He said his voice nearly cracking.
"yes, youko." She reached out as a nearby beam fell only feet from them. She jumped and ended up right against Youko's arms. She leaned up and kissed his cheek.
He smiled holding her close to him, "Where have you been?"
She looked around the room and said, "No time for answers right now I have to do something first." She pulled away from the puzzled fox and looked for something to destroy the piece of glass. Then felt a weight in her pocket. There in her pocket was a small but heavy hammer.
Oh thank you Morning, you thought of everything didn't you. She smiled then realized she had better get this done or she was going to be smashed into oblivion within the building. She raised the hammer and shattered the glass. She hit the mirror till all it was, was small pieces of little trillions of pieces of glass.
Youko looked at her and asked, "Are you finished?" He was still confused as to what she was doing.
She nodded and before she could finish her nod she found herself being carried out of the room and out the window flying!
Looking to Youko's back found that his winged plant had attached itself to Youko and was allowing him to fly. She sighed and leaned into Youko as the pain came back to her in triple-fold.
She winced and she felt Youko put his mouth by her ear. "What is wrong?"
She smiled up at him. "Youko you forget, I am still hurt."
He looked down and didn't look very happy as he saw that the front of her tunic was now a redish color.
When they landed, Light was feeling light headed and she heard a voice call out, "LIGHT!" And a smaller voice call, "Li!" Then she knew no more.
When she woke she found she was still in Youko's arms but there were bandages one her upper body and she was feeling much better. Poking Youko got him to crack an eye open.
"Good mornig my Fox"
He smiled and nuzzled his face into her neck and hair. She laughed and said, "Being possesive are we?"
At about this time, the door opened revealing Dark and Raven following. Dark nearly dropped the tray she was carrying into the room as she saw that Light was awake.
"Light you're…up." Dark said not knowing what to say.
Light could feel dark's discomfort. "Come here dark, I know what you want."
Dark obeyed quietly, then carefully embraced her friend and burst into tears. "I…thought I had…lost you. What was…I to think? You couldn't be found and they said that you were in Death Forest. Never to return and I suddenly realized that my best friend was gone and she wasn't coming back but then Youko comes out with you and you are there alive when you go unconscious and then are out for the next 2 days…."
Light pushed a finger onto Dark's lips. "Shh. It's alright. I'm here now. And," She said wiping her friend's tears away. "I am not leaving …." Then too soft for them to hear, "against my will"
Dark smiled.
The next day.
IT was a day of happiness, everyone was at Genkia's temple and they were laughing and having a good time. Light had just dumped a bucket of cold water over Youko's head causing him to look like a very wet dog. She just laughed and everyone loved watching the cheerful lady escape Youko only to have him pick her up (Since he couldn't pounce on her because of her ribs.) and start a very deep kiss. Everyone ooed and aahed while Yukina blushed and Dark laughed.
Raven just made a face and went back to her playing.
When the two were done being lip locked Light smiled and just leaned against Youko's chest.
As she stood and walked away she smiled then chased after little Raven who was looking confused at Light's Dazed expression. The two disappeared into the bushes. You could hear the laughter as Raven was trying to escape from Light.
Dark laughed and turned back to Kurone who was leaning relaxed on the ground propped up by an elbow, eating a BLT (Bacon Lettuce Tomato) sandwhich that they had brought along for their picnic.
"So Youko when are you going to tell Light through words that you love her." Kurone said looking at the sky.
Youko stared at his sandwich and sighed, "I don't know, I can't figure out how I am going to tell her."
"Well, you better hurry up fox." Genkia said swatting her students as they devoured the food on their paper plates.
"Genkia's right you know, "Dark said playing with Kurone's dark locks. "Like this last time, we thought we had lost her. But then we found that she was alive and well…Well not well, but she was alive."
Youko nodded, "Then I'll have to tell her toni…."
He was interrupted by Raven's voice screaming through the woods, "MMMMOOOOMMMMYYY!"
Raven came flying (yes literally flying) out of the woods her wings were out and she was going fast.
She collided with Kuwabara who had stood because he was startled by the scream. Knocking him over she just ran over him (leaving muddy foot prints) to her mom and said in a very fast voice.
"YouknowthatLiandIwereplayingandwewentintothewoodsandwellshegotmeandletmegoallofasuddenbecause whenIlookedIsawthatshehadredonhershirtshewasbleedingagainthenallofasuddenshejustfelloverandnowitisall myfaultandIcan'tfixitatallandit'sallmyfault." (Translated : "You know that Li and I were playing and we went into the woods and well she got me and let me go all of a sudden because when I looked I saw that she had red on her shirt she was bleeding again then all of a sudden she just fell over and now it is all my fault and I can't fix it at all and it's all my fault.") Raven splurted out as Youko went running.
Sure enough Light was one the ground unconscious.
They hurried her home not knowing what was going to happen.
The next day
Light had declined in the night, she had woken up but found that she could walk and her strength was waining. Everyone feared the worst. For all had forgotten about the strange disease that wracked Light's body.
Up in spirit realm
Koenma looked at the list of those who were to die that day and read

He scanned the list then sent a copy of it to Boton so that the ferry girls would be ready to gather these souls. He didn't think twice about the names, because he had forgotten the name of the lady who was friend of the Dangerous Youko Kurama.
Back at Genkia's Temple.
Light sat up Youko was beside her holdign her hand. He hadn't left her side at all in the rush and hurriedness of all the others in the house.
He looked at her and leaned down to her ear and said, "Light I have something to tell you."
Light weakly looked up at him and smiled, her smile made him smile. "yes, what is it?" She said in a voice barely above that of a whisper.
"I love you. I love you more than life. Please don't go." He said tears in his eyes.
She looked up at him and said, "Youko this time I must tell you it's not my decision. I am afraid that I can do nothing to help you. Or myself to make me stay…If I stay I stay if I don't then…I will just find a way back."
He looked sadly out the window then heard her voice, "Oh and Youko, I love you too."
He felt so good, he turned to his pocket and pulled out a seed, after carefully giving it some of his energy it grew and grew. Till it was a beautiful white rose.
Light gasped, "It's beautiful."
"Then it's yours." He said placing it into her hand.
She smiled and kissed the hand that gave her the flower. Seconds later the door opened and Raven came walking in.
Dark was smiling nearing laughter, in her eyes.
Light knew that something was up..
"I came to cheer you up Li" Raven said.
"I have some gifts for you" She pulled out from behind her back a handful of yellow and red daisies.
"Oh how lovely." Light said trying to sound stronger for Raven's sake.
"Oh and another thing, I have a surprise to show you of something I found." She pulled out from behind her back with her other hand opening it revealed a very yellow looking Salamander.
"It's name is Fred. I found him in Kuwabara's hair after he fell into Genkia's pond. He screamed and thought it was a demon reptile come to kill him. I reassured him that I would save him it any reptiles came to attack him." raven said quite proud of herself.
Dark laughed. "She had lots of fun. It seems that Kuwabara is frightened of salamanders." They laughed and joked all afternoon evening into the night (after Raven was to be put to bed.)
IT was nearing 11 o'clock and Light felt something leave her.
She looked desparately at Youko and said, "It's time."
Youko looked at her and said, "If I lose you again I will die myself."
"Please just this one more time. Wait for me." She said with conviction in her eyes.
HE looked into her eyes and sighed. "alright I will wait but only 4 seasons. If it is any longer than then I shall leave this living world."
"That is enough for me." Light said.
Dark returned from getting some cappuccinos when she saw the serious looks on her friend's face.
"What is going on?" She asked suddenly worried.
"I am leaving." Light said softly, "I can't explain more than that. But promise me you will take care of Youko and wait for me." She said softly looking into her friend's eyes.
Dark could see the truth in her eyes. Her friend meant what she said even though she didn't like what she was about to say she knew it needed to be said, "I'll do that for you."
Then in that instant in that second Light went limp and then just plain vanished from their eyes as the promise was said. She had disappeared from all creation with no single hair or her soul could be found.
