Here is the final chapter of "Like glass, Happiness can sometimes break".

Enjoy!

"Aww...but daddy...I don't want to go to uncle Kurama's. I want to stay here and spar with the guards." an almost 11 year old Zuki whinned.

Hiei sat on a large stone chair clutching his head. His daughter was pouting in the chair to his left, occasionally poaking at the diamond and ruby tiara on her black and silver striped hair.

"Don't you want to go see your aunts, uncles, and cousins?"

"Yes but.."

"No buts. If you go, I will give you a special birthday present."

Hiei had been reduced to bribbing his stubborn (wonder where she gets it from) daughter. Her eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Yes." he sighed.

"Thank you daddy."

She hopped out of her seat and plopped into her father's lap. Said kajihenge lost his breath as his daughter hugged him tightly. To others it would look like he was hating every minute of it, but he was happy. All that was missing was...

"King Hiei?"

He looked up at the guard that had entered the throne room.

"Yes?"

"The portal you requested is..."

"I can take care of it, thank you."

The voice was that of Yakumo who entered from the same front door the guard had.

"My lord."

The guard bowed deeply and ran from the room, throughly terrified of the former ruler. How it goes is Yakumo restared the kingdom just as Sakura wanted but he didn't want to be king. Knowing that his daughter would love it, he handed control of Meikai over to Hiei just 6 years previous. Normally Zuki would have become queen but she was still too young seeing as how one cannot assume the throne until they are at least 50. Yakumo looked at his 'son-in-law' and grandaughter.

"I will be taking Zuki to Ningenkai."

"As you wish, Yakumo. I would feel better if you were to, as well. Despite her power, she is still in danger."

"Hey! I can fight. I did learn it from you and grandpa, plus uncle Kurama, Yusuke, and uncle Kazuma taught me, too."

"I know...it's just better knowing you are in safe hands."

"Don't worry so much Hiei. I will be going along as well."

Zuki looked up to see who the voice was coming from and saw Mukuro step out from behind Yakumo.

"Mukuro!" the child squeeled, running to the new Makai queen.

She lept into her arms and hugged the woman.

"Shouldn't you be getting your stuff together?" she asked the child.

Zuki nodded and walked back to her father. Taking his hand, she made him follow her through a door to the right of thrones and down the hall. Two doors were at the end and she entered the left one. It was her room. Three large windows were on one side of the room with a dresser inbetween two and a desk in the corner. A four-poster bed was against the wall where the door they had entered was. Zuki went to her wardrobe and began getting clothes together. Hiei sat on her bed, removing the vast gold with diamond and ruby crown from his head and setting it beside him. He sighed and his daughter noticed. Stopping what she was doing, she walked over to him and sat in his lap, placing her head on his right shoulder.

"Daddy, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

"No lying. What's bothering you?"

"I...it's...you know what is in 4 days right?"

"Yes...it's been almost 10 years since..."

Tears slowly formed in her eyes and one rolled down, forming a tear gem of every color imaginable. She pulled out a necklace she was wearing. On it were two tears gems, one was white and purple while the other was black, crimson, and deep purple.

"You want to go visit mommy, don't you?"

"Yes."

"Tell me about mommy again."

"She was beautiful, long silver hair and stunning amethyst eyes. You have her eye shape, nose, and smile," he said, pointing out each one. "Especially her smile. Whenever she would smile, you couldn't help but smile with her. What she did was noble and brave. It still hurts to think about her, but I know she is watching over and protecting us."

"I miss her."

"I know Zuki...I do too."

"Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"Can we add one of my gems to my necklace?"

He slightly smiled at her.

"Of course."

She gave him the necklace and gem and went back to packing. He attached a metal hook to his daughter's tear gem and slid it inbetween his and Sakura's. Setting it on her nightstand, he picked up his crown, placed it upon his head once more, and went to the room across from Zuki's, his room. It was identical to Zuki's in shape.Walking to the far wall which was covered in weapons, he picked up a familiar blade, Seika, Sakura's old sword. Hiei was now Seika's master yet he could still feel a part of his mate in it.

"It's hard to raise a kid on your own." he whispered to no one in particular.

Strapping the sword to his side, he picked up a pack from his bed, placed it on his back, and met his daughter in the hall. He was taken aback when he saw her. She had her hair pulled into a tight braid and was wearing a deep blue fighting kimono. A short sword was strapped to her back. Aside from the different hair, she looked so much like Sakura. She noticed his reaction.

"What is it daddy? Did I do something wrong?"

"No...you just...look so much like her."

She smiled at her father sadly.

"I can change if you want me to."

"It's fine."

Together they walked down a separate hall towards a room where portals were created. Two were awaiting them. Yakumo and Mukuro stood off to the side next to a yellow portal.

"Ready to go sweety?" Mukuro asked.

Zuki nodded her head and faced her father. She hugged him around the middle and placed her necklace in his hand.

"Give that to mommy."

He smiled at his daughter and kissed her forehead. With a wave, she went to her grandfather and lept into the portal with him. Mukuro gazed at Hiei.

"She is safe...go do what you must. Tell her hi for me."

She followed Yakumo and Zuki, the portal sealing behind her. Hiei went into the pink portal beside it and hopped in. When he emerged, he was at the entrance of the Satsu Shukumei. The Thunder Troll stood tall, guarding the temple. He looked down at Hiei and started to speak a proverb.

"I walk afar, to places over the horizon."

"But no matter where I go, i'll listen to my heart." Hiei followed, smirking.

The Thunder Troll had created this saying in order to protect the temple from trespassers. Only the royal family and their friends knew it.

"Enter."

Hiei bowed to the great guardian and walked up the stairs. He made his way through a few halls and came upon the room of the Kiruto No Seibutsu. He saw Sakura's tomb before him, but it was different. The top was on the floor in pieces. He was next to it in the blink of an eye. Sakura's body was not inside. He looked around for signs of a trespasser, one that could have gotten by the Thunder Troll. On the high platform above, he saw the shape of a person on it. Leaping up, he drew Seika and held it at the person's throat while pinning their arms from behind.

"How dare you disturb this place. Where is she? Where did you put her body?" he asked as he tightened his grip.

The person didn't mutter anything, nor flinch from his grip. Their hood hid their face.

"Speak!" he demanded, forcing the person to the ground.

"Wh...where am I? I...cannot see."

It sounded like woman and they were very afraid. Not knowing why, he released his grip and knelt in front of them.

"Who are you?" he asked, only softer this time.

"The world is fuzzy. My sight is slowly returning. What year is it?"

"By what standards?"

"Meikai, if you would."

"10 years since the restoration of the throne."

"Ahh...so it holds true. Tell me...are you the king?"

"Yes, but what is..."

"I see that he held his word as to restarting the kingdom, but I did not expect him to give you rule of Meikai, Hiei."

His eyes widened.

"No...no...it...can't be."

"I can see. My sight is the last thing to be restored. May I look upon your face once more?"

Hiei lifted his hand and placed it under the hood, caressing the strangers cheek. In a swipe of his hand, he pulled back their hood. Falling backwards in shock, he didn't realize he was so close to the edge and lost his grip. As he slipped off, a hand grabbed his, preventing his from falling.

"Do I always have to save your butt?"

He looked up into familiar amethyst eyes. She pulled him up and he couldn't help himself. In a fluent motion, he grabbed her other hand and pulled her towards him, their lips meeting. He kissed her passionately and she returned it. As they pulled apart, she gazed into his eyes.

"Suprise."

"Suprise indeed...Sakura."

"Happy Birthday Zuki!" yelled Yusuke, Kayko, Taihen (now 13), Kazuma, Yukina, their son Jumon (8), Kurama, Shiro, their twin children Yume and Raito (9 1/2), Shuichi, Botan, their daughter Hoshi, Koenma, Genkai, Yakumo, and Mukuro.

Zuki stood in front of a large birthday cake and blew out the candles, silently making her wish.

'I wish daddy and I can truely be happy again.'

Everyone cheered and Kayko set to work on cutting pieces for everyone. Taihen walked up to her.

"I have a present for you."

"Really?" she asked, smiling at him.

He nodded and, quickly, pecked her on the cheek. Both turned deep red, but luckily no one saw, or so they thought. The door opened and everyone looked up to see Hiei standing there, leaning on the doorframe.

"Yay! Hi daddy!"

"Hello."

"Did you bring me a present?" she pestered.

He smiled at her and nodded. The others watched with happiness yet slight confusion. Hiei never smiles, well not since Sakura and Zuki, anyways.

"What is it?" she asked.

"I had the perfect idea for a present...but things didn't go as planned."

Disappointment covered her face.

"What do you mean?"

"Well...the present I have is far better."

Zuki looked behind him. no one else could see. She fell backwards in shock and tears came to her eyes. Jumping up quickly, she sped past Hiei and they heard a grunt then a plop. They hurried over to the door and shock covered them too when they saw Zuki hugging the most unexpected person...Sakura.

"How?" muttered a crying Zuki.

"There was another part to the prophecy. Let us talk about it inside."

She stood up, not taking her arms away from her daughter. The others stared in disbelief as Sakura walked into Genkai's shrine. She smiled at her friends.

"Long time no see. I notice you have all been busy."

Shiro walked up to her friend and trapped her in a bear hug.

"Sakura I should kill you all over again, but that would defeat the purpose of your magical resurrection. How come you never told me?"

"Can we talk about this over some cake, please? I have been dead for almost 10 years and am very hungry."

Her stomach growled in agreement. The children all giggled and walked up to her.

"Are you really my aunt Sakura?" asked Jumon.

"Hey she's our aunt too." Raito interjected.

"Be nice, she is all our aunt." Yume reasoned. She looked up at Sakura. "My name is Yume. This is my brother Raito. We're your brother's pests, as he likes to say. That's Jumon, auntie Yukina and uncle Kazuma's son."

"Well I am very pleased to meet you all. Shall we have some cake?" she asked while setting Zuki on her feet, but not releasing her hand.

"Yes please." She took Sakura's other hand and they walked into the room where everyone retreathed to.

Sakura looked over her shoulder at Hiei. He was staring at her, not taking his eyes away, fearing that if he does, it was all a dream. She noticed this and smiled.

"Come on Hiei. Let us have some fun." He followed after her.

Hiei sat on the roof of the temple, looking up at the stars. He kept playing the past 20 years in his head. He remebered when he broke into the vault with Kurama, meeting Yusuke, getting stuck with the detective, the Dark Tournament, Sensui, the Makai tournament, Hina, then Sakura, learning that he was falling in love with her, Zuki, the prophecy, Sakura's death, and now today, his daughter's birthday and his mate's resurrection. He sighed to himself. Once he was a cold-hearted killer who lived off of the high he got from spilling blood. Now, he was the father of a beautiful little girl, king of Meikai, and in love with the most amazing woman ever...though she didn't entirely know that. He sighed again and laided back, placing a hand behind his head. Snow began to fall around him as he gazed at the full moon. He could hear all the laughter coming from inside the temple. He came out here to think and straighten out his thought. He sighed again. A giggle was heard to his right. Lifting up his head, he saw Sakura walking over to him. She clutched the Hykhan-Ishion in her arms.

"You going to sigh anymore?" she asked, jokingly.

"Haha. Funny." he muttered sarcasticly, laying down once more. "You told the others how you came back, yet you havn't told me. Care to?"

"Love to." she opened the book. "As you know, the prophecy was written in here by Sakunara billions of years ago. There is more to it though you cannot see."

He sat up and looked at the page she was showing him. The paragraph began with 'And she will...' but ended there. However, as the moonlight showed down on the page, he saw writing make itself clear.

'And she will lay in wait

10 long years

Until she may

Again awake.

Return to family and friends

Return to love

Peace will truely reign

Over the five worlds

So mote it be.'

"It is hidden."

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"It wasn't suppose to be known until today."

"You and your secrets."

"I do not have anymore. The memories I hid from you have been revealed, such as when you came to my village injured and my family took you in. That was when we first met...and you know what?"

"What?"

"For me...it was love at first sight. I thought it was a silly little crush...but the following year...when I had to leave because you and Kurama overheard my grandfather and me talking about the prophecy, I realized that you felt the same. Those feelings are probably long since passed but.."

"No."

"No what?"

"They aren't."

He looked into her eyes.

"How?"

"How what, Hiei?"

"How do you do it?"

"How do I do what?"

"Make me feel like this."

"I do not know...but do you really care?"

He went silent and she picked up the Hykhan-Ishion. Standing up, she looked at him and hopped off the roof, landing softly on the ground. As she made her way into the shrine, Hiei stopped her.

"I don't care." he said as he turned her to face him. "I don't care how you do it...All I care about is the feeling you make me have. When you were gone, it was hard. It was

Zuki and me, yet some how, we pulled through. As I put her to sleep when she was still small, I wished that you could be there with us. Remember when Zuki had that nightmare 10 years ago, on her birthday, and you and I stayed with her all night? That is what I wanted...that feeling, the love."

Sakura stared into Hiei's eyes and smiled.

"Then let the feeling shine through."

He wrapped his arms around her waist, her arms went around his neck, and they kissed each other as if there was no tomorrow. They showed their emotions through it and the door to the shrine opened up. The others watched this happen before them, happy that they finally had each other.

"Ohh...get a room you two!" exclaimed Yusuke.

They pulled apart and looked at them.

"Watch Zuki for us!" Sakura exclaimed as her and Hiei flitted from view.

Shiro walked over the Zuki.

"Come along. Mommy and daddy wish to spend some time alone."

Hiei walked into a house that he hasn't stepped foot in for a few years. It was Sakura's old house, the one about a mile from Genkai's temple. Sakura walked in behind him and smiled, remembering all sorts of things. She took the kajihenge's hand and lead him up the stairs to her old room. Miraculously, there was no dust whatsoever. She guided Hiei to the bed and sat down on it. He knelt in front of her.

"There is something i've been wanting to do for a long time." he said, looking into her eyes.

"By all means."

She leaned forward and kissed his lips ever so softly. Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled himself up and laided down on top of her. As he kissed her more passionately, he began undoing the buttons of the kimono Yukina had lent her. Her hands wandered over his upper body and tugged at his shirit. Not wanting to separate from his lips, she ripped the shirit off of him, not that he minded. Once her finished with the buttons, he slid the silk off of her and began removing her bra, property of Shiro. Sakura's finger worked at removing his belt so his pants will slide off with ease. Hiei flung her bra across the room as she undid his belt. He didn't have anything underneath the pants. She wiggled her way out of her panties and pulled back the covers, allowing both of them to wiggle under, clothes free. Hiei laided down on top of her and stared into her eyes.

"All I wanted for these past 10 years was to have both Zuki and you in my arms."

"I know Hiei-koi...but how would you like to add another to our already happy family?"

She smiled at him and got her answer as he slowly slid into her. A moan of pain and pleasure escaped her mouth as she laid there making love with him.

The following year...

Sakura stood in the garden of Meikai castle. Zuki was sitting on a blanket, playing with a small cat that Tyhion had gotten her for her 12th birthday. Said boy was sitting next to her a small smile on his lips. He had grown fond of Zuki. Sakura watched them with a smile on her lips. She heard a person walk up behind her and looked to see none other than her husband, Hiei. A small little boy lay in his arms.

"How is little Moyasu?" she asked while taking the child.

"All cleaned up, though I can't say the same about a piece of my hair."

Sakura noticed a piece of his hair was charred. She giggled.

"I guess that's why we named him Moyasu, burn."

"Yes...especially after he Kuwabara's hair on fire when he made a funny face for him."

The two laughed at their brother-in-laws expense. They sat down on a bench, Sakura resting against Hiei. Moyasu gazed up at his father and giggled.

"Happy about how things turned out?" Sakura asked Hiei.

"Of course...I have you by my side and two wonderful kids. Who wouldn't be?"

"What ever happened to the cold-hearted killer I used to know?"

He chuckled.

"He is a think of the past." he kissed her forehead. "Aishiteru Sakura-chan."

"Aishiteru Hiei-koi."

They watched Zuki play with Taihen and the cat. Everyone was happy again. No shadows were on the horizon for them for the shattered glass of the mirror of their life has been restored.

THE END!
