"Honey we're going to go through now okay?" I backed away from Kurama, and looked at my Mother. "Yeah I'll be right through." She nodded smiling at me, and went through. Everyone one in my family went through, and said they would wait for me on the other side. "Will you come or not...because I would really like you to come...and I know if anything is to happen while I'm there I'll need help defending them." Kurama nodded understanding half the reason I wanted him there with me. The other half was I wanted him to just be there for me when things went wrong...that's if things would go wrong.

"Okay I just don't want to get in the way." Kurama said smiling sweetly. I nodded, "But you won't you would be helping me, and they would understand."

"Okay well I guess we better get going so they don't worry." I smiled, and grabbed hold of Kurama's hand. "Then let's go." He smiled, and nodded. I sighed heavily trying not to be nervous about any of it as I walked through the portal with Kurama by my side. Once on the other side I realized we were in an ally. I sighed as rain fell on my head. "Are you okay?" I looked at my Mother giving her a small smile. "I'm fine…..this is just all new and everything." She gave a very weak smile nodding.

I realized just even thinking of what father did hurt her. But she had no idea how much it hurt me. Maybe a soulless person could've learned to love, and use emotion with out a spell to take it away if they had someone to show them the right way. Maybe if John would've just given me a chance….maybe I could've been different….But then I wouldn't have met Kurama. I looked to Kurama. For a moment I felt sad…..no matter how it went it would've been hurtful either way. This was just the way it turned out to be.

"Well let's get you out of the cold and to the house." I nodded as Kurama met my gaze, and Paige giggled. "Told you emotion makes world go round." I looked back to Paige, "Don't push it. You maybe my sister, but that just gives me all the more reason to torture you in training if you keep it up." Nothing much to it, she shut that mouth of hers, as Akio started laughing so hard tears started flowing from his eyes….I didn't see what was so funny about it though. "Okay…………well can we go now?" I asked looking at Mother. She nodded, and began to lead the way.

Once at Mother's house I was shown around as Mother went to prepare mine room, and Kurama's. "She doesn't need to do anything to my room as long as I have a dark corner to sleep in." I spoke to Paine as I looked around the living room to find demon, and human pictures of all of them happy and together. I wish I could've been part of this before. "Well if we could go back in time you could, but we can't can we." I looked at Akio, and gave a sad smile. I ruffled his hair kindly, "No we can't." I whispered to myself picking up a picture and looking at again how happy they were. "But it doesn't hurt to wish." Paine just gave us a questioning look, but shrugged it off and walked away.

Paige soon began to cook lunch for us, and filled the house with wonderful smells that I've never smelt before. I walked up behind her, and tapped her on the shoulder. She side glanced me smiling. "What is that?" I asked confused at the looks of what it was. "You've never had this before….figures. Oh well, right now I'm fixing something Mom taught me….I don't remember what she called it though." I shook my head at her smirking, "Okay…." I was caught off guard as someone hugged me from behind, and tensed remembering the last couple hundred times someone was at my blind side. "I'm glad that you're my sister." I smirked weakly at him seeming so innocent. I'm glad I have a family. A tear trailed down my face as the door bell rang.

I got Akio off me, and went to answer the door. I opened it to find a woman there. "Hi my name is Becca….is Mrs. Gina here?" I looked this woman over as something just didn't feel right. I heard Mother and Kurama coming down the stairs. I looked back at Mother to see her stop at the bottom of the stairs really pale. "Becca……..What do you want?" I looked back to the woman, "If you're here for Paine and Paige they aren't here." I stated flatly. "Well just so happens I am…" She put a dagger to my throat smirking, "And sadly for you I know they are." I glared at the woman as she looked to my Mother again. I formed a shadow dagger, and put it to her neck. Sadly for her with a touch of this blade it would burn you like acid. "Drop your blade now."

"The darkest of all dark children….oh how I've heard of you. Blaze says hey, by the way." She said dropping her blade. Just then I heard a scream. "Kurama go check it out, and kill who ever it is." Kurama ran off, or so I heard. "Becca….I'll count to five, and you better be far….far away from here." I growled.

She smirked, and began walking away. Something's not right….what is she planning. So sad I missed what was going to happen her blade that was on the front steps rammed itself into my stomach, and cutting across. I didn't wince, I didn't cry I stood there, and watched as my intestine fell into my hands.

I looked up to see a smiling Becca. "I'm trickier then you think." I shrugged returning the smile. "Yes well so am I." I forming a fire ball in my right hand as my left held what had came out…in. "I'm more then you." I snickered throwing a mixture of everything I was at her blowing her back. "I'll protect them up to my last breath!" I called putting up a shadow barrier around the house that no human could see. Kurama came back in with a frightened Paige as Paine came down the stairs. I didn't face them, but had my eyes closed hearing them.

"Is she still here?" Kurama asked softly. "No." I simply replied turning to them. The look on their faces hurt me knowing I might not live through this. "Wipe those looks off your faces now!" I ordered. Paine and Akio did as I said, Mother and Paige looked away. What killed me most was Kurama walked up to me looking at my wound. "Let's get the fixed up."

"Just get the bandages." I said looking away trying to be strong. I knew I would die some day, but not this soon. I had dreams of my own death, and never had I thought it would be this soon. I had never been afraid of anything….not even death, but for some reason I was now. I don't want to die now God. I just found my family, and love. "Paine you and Paige get ready for the fight of a life time, and call in for Yusuke and them we'll need them to fight off what ever hell filled army she has." Paine gave me a grave nod, and took her sister with her upstairs, after getting the communicator from Mother.

"What can I do?" Akio asked. "Go with Mother and hide…..you haven't been trained yet." I looked to Mother, "Protect the youngest for me." She nodded as a tear ran down her face, "Come Akio this way!" She took him upstairs.

A moment later she came down once more, and looked me sadly in the eyes. I wanted her to hold me close, and tell me everything was going to be okay, but I knew that it would only make things harder on me. "How can you be so calm?" She asked me.

I looked her in the eyes a grave expression taking over me, "I've lived a life that wasn't exactly all that bad. I found my family, and I found the love of my life. What more could I have asked for?" I asked smirking. "You knew you were going to die like this didn't you?" I turned and looked at Kurama. "Why do you ask such a stupid question…I know nothing more then what is going on at the moment." I lied to make myself feel better.

Kurama sighed, "Well I need you to take off the shirt for now." I nodded, "Mother could you help me?" She nodded as tears ran down her face. She unbuttoned the shirt, and slipped it off one of my arms. "Kurama just start to bandage me, and then I'll take my hand down." He nodded, and as he reached where the gash was I slowly removed my hand. "Oh God…….Phoenix…" I glared at Kurama, "Don't you dare."

A portal opened and out popped Yusuke and them. Them seeing me in my bra….well the idiots acted stupid about it, and Hiei blushed looking away. "What's going on?" Yusuke asked after Hiei punched him. "Becca came, and got Phoenix bad….there's more then just her as well." I spoke up a bit weak from holding up the barrier, and acting all at once with this injury, "There's more then 50 soldiers, and then her…..but there's something about her…."

"Well, duh, she's evil what else is there?" Kuwabara said stupidly. "Well she's a dark child, yet not. She has a soul, yet she doesn't. She wants to kill me though I know that for a fact."

"Okay wait….she's a dark child yet not…..how does that work out?" Yusuke asked. "The only kind of soul a dark child can have naturally is an evil one….but that only happens over centuries from the legend." I twitched at the little bit of pain that came from the wound.

"Okay I get Miss Becca Bitch a lot." Yusuke declared. "Oh no you don't! I do!" I said coldly. "It's foolish if you go into battle injured like this….it's foolish of you just holding up the barrier!" Hiei said cruelly raising his voice. "Foolish I may be, but determined I am more! You won't stop me….this is my fight!" I hollered hoarsely soon finding that to be a bad idea, seeing as I coughed up blood from it. Blood ran down my chin, and dripped to the floor.

"All of you will do it my way or I'll fight by myself!" I declared, and walked painfully to the barrier touching it. "You coming or leaving?" I asked glancing over my shoulder. "I'm coming." Kurama said stepping up by my right side. "I won't let you two have all the fun." Yusuke said touching my shoulder. "I'm coming too." Kuwabara said loudly. "Hn, I'll come just to watch you die." I could feel everyone just turn and glare at Hiei, but I just smirked. "Well at least my death won't hurt all of you." I whispered walking out the barrier.

Kurama and the others soon came out as I buttoned up my shirt. "I see you won't give me my birdies….that's so mean." Becca laughed. "No I won't….and I don't care if I'm mean." I said drawing up some of my energy making a shadow fire ball in both hands. "Kurama, Hiei take the ones to the right, Yusuke, Kuwabara take the ones to the left." I ordered. "Got it!" They said in unison. Their fights began like the normal ones they would always have, but my vision was going into a blurry state, and I knew my time was running out.

"You do know little one….the more energy you use the sooner you die, right?" I nodded, "But this is how it's to happen…..Yukio's twin." I finally realized why she seemed familiar in so many ways.

She's the one who gave me the lashings! She's the one who kicked me while I was down in my cell. She taught me to hate more then what I already did! I smirked evilly and threw randomly at her. While she was down I burnt a symbol into the ground. At least something good came out of me being an assassin. I learned new things everyday.

"What's this?" She asked as my body went from my human form to my demon form my wings out. My hair caressed my body, and swayed as if a heavy wind was blowing it. "How about you take some of my pain ten fold!" I screamed as more blood dripped from my mouth. This is how it ends….God please watch over them and protect them that's all I ask of you...you probably can't forgive me for the things that I've done, but at least protect them lord….They've done nothing wrong.

Tears ran down my face and into my mouth, and tasted of blood. My vision was going, and my hearing was gone. But I looked around to Kurama and the gang, and began to cry, "I love you Kurama." I whispered, and looked back to Becca. I held up my hand towards her as if I were going to shoot a fire ball at her, "Let what you've done to me be done upon you." And with that I fell to my knees as Becca began to scream out in pain.

I was still sitting up looking ahead, but I barely was able to see. I saw Kurama sit down in front of me. He touched my face so gently as if I were to break, but he had tears in his eyes. Hiei stood behind him looking down upon me, "Foolish girl!" I let the barrier around the house go, "What did you say?" I asked as tears of blood came from my eyes. I touched Kurama's face, but I reached out as if it were so far away. "I lied before Kurama……I knew it had to happen this way." I whispered, "If I didn't do this…Becca would've won and got the girls….I've known for years something like this would happen."

(No one's pov)

Hiei touched Kurama's shoulder, "She pretty much gone, Fox. Her hearings gone, and look in her eyes…..they're dull, and distant her sight is about gone as well. She's going and fast. Get over it." Kurama turned to face Hiei, but when he did Hiei was gone. Yusuke and Kuwabara were standing at a distance sad that this was happening this way. Paine and Paige walked out of the house with Akio, and their Mother by their sides. Akio crying clinging to his Mother for comfort, but his Mother couldn't help him for she too was upset about all of it. Her thoughts ran on to no end wondering, why did this happen now….right after I found her why did it have to happen now! Paige just stood there dazed at this not feeling anything but an aching numbness that ate away at her. She wanted to cry, but couldn't….she barely could breathe. It was like someone was choking her, but it was the sadness and numbness that was causing this. On the other hand Paine had tears rolling down her face, this is the first time I've cried since I was a kid………this can't be happening. Please god this can't be happening…not like this. Much to her dismay it was really going down, and happening like this.

No one but Kurama was by Phoenix's side as she was dying. No one dared for some lost fear of hurting worse, or Kurama putting up a fight.

Kurama pulled Phoenix over to him, and helped her lay down where her head was laying on his lap. His tears rolled down his face, and soon ended up dripping on to Phoenix's face. "I don't want to die alone….it's so dark Kurama….where are you?" Phoenix cried softly panicking reaching up to touch his face. Kurama grabbed her hand and placed it on his face. "I'm here….I'm not leaving." Even though knowing she won't be able to hear him she calmed down when he placed her hand on his face. "I love you Kurama…..I've never loved and will never love anyone but you." She said giggling trying to seem like it didn't hurt her as much, but even though on the inside this was ripping her heart out parting with her love, and never have been his mate. Kurama sighed as more tears came, "I love you too Phoenix." AND god did he mean it. But minutes later it was too late for anything. Phoenix was gone.

Hiei came back and closed her eyes, and that was it. With that it was over right? No one came to her body while she was near Kurama. Everyone who knew Phoenix said sorry to the family, and Shadow, and Kurama. But that wouldn't bring her back. Not a tear in the world would bring her back.

Her family, Kurama, and Shadow agreed on one thing for her tombstone: She once was lost but then was found, and given angel wings all the way around.

The end.
