"Why wont you explain to me what happened?" Kohana asked Kurama when they entered his house. "Don't I deserve to know why my best friend acted like that?" Kohana asked, well more like pleaded. Kurama tired his best to ignore her as they walked into the living room.

"Please someone." She said as she looked at Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei. "He was going to kill you." Kurama said and Kohana gasped. "What why?" She demanded.

"Was he paid to or something?" Kurama sighed tiredly and sat down on the couch. "He said Suki had hired him, but that was obviously a lie." Kohana stared at Kurama silently for a few seconds.

"How do you know?" She asked finally. "How do you know that it was a lie?" Kurama stared at her disbelievingly.

"You don't really believe that Suki would do that do you?" He asked and Kohana nodded her head. "I believe that more then I believe Ryoichi just deciding to kill me." She said and glared at Kurama.

"He loves me. So why would he kill me?" Kurama stood up and glared at her, he was slowly losing his self control. "Maybe he really doesn't love you." Kurama said and Kohana shook her head.

"Of course he does." Kohana replied confidently. "Give her the letter." Hiei said before Kurama could reply, stopping him from saying anything he may regret later. Kurama sighed and took the letter out of his jacket pocket and handed it to Kohana.

"I don't know what it says, I never read it." He says and Kohana took the letter from him and opened it.

Kohana,

We sure have had some crazy times haven't we? I remember when I first sneaked you out into the garden. After that, you always wanted to have roses in your room. I am sorry that my father never allowed it. I am sorry that I never tried to help you or anything.

This is why I wrote this letter, to tell you I am sorry. It has nothing to do with Suki hiring me. Only that I am ashamed that I became an assassin, you deserve more then a friend who kills people for a living. I am sorry that I left without you. I hope that you will be able to be happy.

Hopefully it will be with Kurama. I had one of my contacts look him up, he will be able to protect you in a way I never will be able to. I hope that one day you will be able to forgive me for all the pain my family has caused you. Until then,

Ryoichi.

Kohana's eyes started to water as she folded up the letter. Part of her was angry though. 'How dare he think that I blame him?' She thought, but knew it was stupid to be angry. She has no control over how he feels. She held on tightly to the letter, as if she thought that someone would steal it.

"What does it say?" Yusuke asked and Kohana just shrugged her shoulders. "Just that he is sorry." She replied, deciding instantly not to tell them everything he had said in the letter.

"Did he say anything about Suki?" Kurama asked and Kohana nodded her head. "Yeah." They all stood in silence, none of them knew what to say. What broke the silence was the sound of the front door opening and closing.

"Where is Yukina?" Kohana asked suddenly. "With Genkai." Kuwabara replied and Kohana nodded her head as Suki walking into the living room. When she saw Kohana she froze.

"Kohana, what are you doing here?" She asked, and Hiei's eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Why wouldn't she be here? She lives here right?" Yusuke asked and Suki glared at him.

"I was just asking a question. No need to act like I am being interrogated. I thought she was at Ryoichi's house." She explained. Outwardly she appeared to be cool and collected, but really she was panicking. "How did you know she was with him?" Yusuke asked and Suki was stumped.

"How was you time at Ryoichi's?" Suki asked and Kohana just stared at him. "Why did you hire him Suki?" Kurama asked and Suki just stared at him.

"What do you mean?" She asked slowly and innocently. "Don't play stupid Suki. At first we didn't believe him, but now it is obvious that you are guilty." Yusuke said and Suki glared at him.

"What do you want? I hired him Is that what you wanted me to say?" She asked and Kurama just looked at her. "We want the truth." He said and she remained silent.

"Why then. Why do you want your own sister dead?" Kurama asked and Suki laughed bitterly. "What else could I do? If you were me, you would have wanted her dead too." She replied.

"I don't understand." Kurama said simply and Suki sobbed dramatically. "You have no idea what it is like for me. Ever since Kohana was born, I have been ignored. Finally I find someone who doesn't ignore me. Someone who didn't even know I had a sister. The Kohana came along and suddenly, I am being ignored again." Suki said.

"Even your friends ignored me. It was fine, I never really liked them" Yusuke glared at Suki. "You hired someone to kill your sister because you were jealous?" Kurama asked and Suki crossed her arms.

"You make it sound so pathetic." She replied. "That's because it is pathetic." Kohana said quietly and Suki glared at her.

"Don't even speak to me Kohana. You have done nothing but ruin my life." Suki said and Kohana just stared at her. "Even if they did pay attention to me for a while, they still care about you. You have Kurama's love." Kohana replied, her voice barely above a whisper. Kohana really didn't know why she was whispering, it was like she couldn't speak any louder if she wanted to. Suki laughed bitterly.

"I have Kurama's love? I think you are mistaken. He loves you. I am not stupid. I see the way you look at each other. You ruined my perfect future. Who cared if his friends like me? It does me no good if Kurama doesn't love me." Suki said, all the while glaring at Kohana murderously. "Actually, we never really like you Suki. We only put up with you because you made Kurama happy." Yusuke said and Suki rolled her eyes.

"Well, he never really made me happy, where it counts." Kurama raised his eyebrow. "What do you mean?" He asked, even though he knew. Their sex life wasn't all that great at the moment.

"All I mean is that I have been seeking fulfillment elsewhere." She replied casually. "Just so I can know I have this right, you hired Ryoichi to kill Kohana and you have been cheating on Kurama." Yusuke asked slowly and Suki nodded her head.

"Yes." She said and there was a moment of silence. "So what now?" Suki asked.

"Leave." Kurama said. "Never talk to us again. If I see you ever again, I will kill you." He said and Suki glared at Kohana.

"Well congratulations Kohana, first you stole mom and dad, now you have my boyfriend. I hope you are happy. He chose you." She said and walked away. A few seconds later, they heard the door slam shut.

----

'I can't believe it. How could they?' Suki thought to herself as she walked. She didn't know where she was going, all that mattered was getting away. 'How could Kurama chose her? I thought he loved me.' Suki completely forgot about her cheating on him.

"Excuse me Miss, are you by chance Suki Saito?" A very handsome man asked as he stepped in front of Suki. "Do I know you?" She asked rudely and he chuckled softly. If she had been paying attention to him, she would have noticed that beneath that polite exterior, was really a very evil man.

"No, but you do know my brother." He said and stood beside her. He placed his hand on her back a pushed her slightly, so that she would start to walk wit him. "Who is you brother?" She asked, not even noticing that she was walking. He had that affect on people.

"Ryo Hart." He replied smoothly. She would have stopped walking but he had a firm hold on her arm. "Who are you?" She demanded.

"I have a proposition for you." He said, completely ignoring her question. "Oh really?" She asked, as they entered a park.

"Yes, I need you help with Kohana. I want to succeed in where my brother failed." He said and Suki raised her eyebrow. "Here sit down." He said and motioned to a bench. Suki sat down and sighed heavily.

"Now tell me why you left your house so upset." He asked. Suki never thought to ask him how he knew where she lived, or how he knew that she was upset when she left. All she really thought about was how someone was finally paying attention to her. "Kohana has ruined my life again. She stole my boyfriend, and tricked him into thinking he cares about her. I hate her." Suki said and the man nodded his head.

"So will you help me?" He asked and Suki nodded her head. "Of course." She said and the man laughed lightly. It was a very beautiful sound and Suki felt as if she knew this man, and even had a slight crush on him.

"First tell me your name." Suki said and he ignored her. "Please stand right there." He said and pointed to a spot 2 meters away from the bench. Suki looked at him questionably and went to stand where he pointed.

"So Kohana has ruined your life?" He asked and stood across from her. Suki nodded her head. "Did you ever stop to think that you have ruined hers?" He asked and Suki stared at him blankly.

"What are you talking about?" She asked. "Will you truly be happier when she is dead and out of your life for good?" He asked and again Suki nodded her head.

"Will Kohana be happier when you are dead?" Suki stared at him. "I don't understand why you are saying this." She said slowly, and for the first time noticed the katana at his side.

"I suppose we will find out wont we?" He asked and un-sheathed his katana. "Are you scared Suki? Are you scared of death? Or are you scared that you might see your parents?" He asked and before she could answer he drove his katana into her heart and quickly pulled it out, and watched as her lifeless body fell to the ground. He crouched down beside her body and wiped the blood off his katana by using her shirt.

"My name is Tanaka. Thank you for assisting me Suki." He said as he stood up. "Maybe, if you weren't so selfish, you would have lived."
