Chapter 6 ( I know it's been a while, and I hope you forgive me, but I just got the everything fixed, and well I finished it. I hope all of you will review, and tell me what you think. I hope you liked it, and all. well sry again.Pixie)
It's been a year since I finally got my memories back, and every other week Hiei and I go horse back riding to see how my people are getting along. Everyone knows the new laws "No sexist acts, all can fight in the army, treat others the way you wish to be treated, no stealing, and no killing." The people thought it was stupid at first, and some became rebels. Stealings and murderers took place, but when I found out who did it they got lashings, but depended on what they did. The murderers were put to death.
But now the people understood my way, and are doing great. Some stealings and murders here and there, but we take care of them. For a year now me and Hiei have been together, not like fiancés, more like really good friends. I feel bad because of it. We have so much pride, and so many things to do we don't have time to ask the other.
The gang stays at the palace with me so I don't get too lonely, and when Koenma needs them a portal opens in the living room. I'm usually in my room of the nights not wanting to go out anymore as I had when I beat those men on the front steps. I get lonely though the gang is around. I want that one person for me, and I know it's Hiei but I say nothing. I just sit and watch as the moon rises as night takes hold of my kingdom. I miss how it used to be.
Good news is Johnny and his mate decided to come and live with me (much to her dismay.) Johnny wanted to be close to me since I had to stay here. Well Selena needs me to sign something, her being my new high priestess, she helps me manage. Other wise I would've already went nuts.
Dawn
I put my pen and diary away, and told her to come on in. "How are you this evening?" She asked. "Bored…what's that for?" I asked her referring to the piece of paper in her hand. "It's for the marketing out in Dark Angels; they seem to be having problems with the pricing…people wanting more money." I nodded and took it from her looking it over. "A marketer priced a pint of blood 2 heart coins!" (Heart coins equal about $4 each.) "I told you pricing problems. Shall I make sure the prices are lowered, to about a blood coin?" I nodded. (Blood coins $1.50 each) "Some can be so greedy." I thought aloud signing the paper.
She took it looking me in the eyes then to the ground, "So when are you going to tell Hiei that you love him?" I looked at her shocked. "I can't." I whispered looking to the ground sadly. "Why not? I mean you do love him…I can see it, but I know your pride gets in the way at times, but what's the other reason?" I sighed, "We just don't have time for each other. They're busy with missions, and I'm busy with my kingdom." I answered sadly.
"Then I shall tell him for you." I looked into her eyes, "Why? Why does it matter so?" I asked her. "Because you must become Queen, and we need a king." I gave off a laugh as she made a giggle at how she sounded right then. "Fine…but I know what he'll say." I said smiling. "And what would that be?" "Hn!" I laughed at that as she joined in. "Yes lately he seems to be going back into that word more and more….is that even a word?" I shrugged, "I know it is in his book."
"Oh and while I'm at it what will we be doing for your birthday Saturday?" She asked me standing, and going to the door. "My birthday is this Saturday!" She nodded looking back at me. "I can't believe I forgot!" I said looking to the ground. She smiled, "Well lately the work around here has been very busy, and you've been working so hard, but what will we be doing?" I shook my head, "Nothing." I said calmly thinking on what was best for the kingdom.
"Nothing! We must do something…it will be your eighteenth birthday from you being reborn! Your three hundred seventeenth if you count before you died!" She said shocked. "You heard what I said! There are more important things to do then celebrate my birthday!" I answered. "Yes your-highness….well things to finish before I go to bed….good night." I bowed my head saying good night to her as well. She then left me to my thoughts. I got up like I did every night, and went to my window. Footsteps were heard going back and forth down the hallway; They must be coming back from that mission on the other side of Makia. I looked out the window to see a crescent moon. "The smile of the sky." I mumbled. I heard some mumbling out side my door, then a knock and giggling. "Who is it?" I asked grabbing hold of my right arm, and holding my arms behind me. "The gang." Yusuke. "Come on in." I said calmly. The door opened, and every one….including Johnny, filed in. "We hear you ain't celebrating your birthday this year!" Johnny said getting straight to it. "You heard correct." I mumbled turning around to face them.
"Is that the night gown Killer got you?" I glared at Johnny for being so observant. "It looks more like a short dress." Kuwabara stated. "And I care? Now, I'm not doing anything for my birthday, and that is final….now what do you guys…and girls want?" I asked get very serious here. "Well, Hiei wanted to ask you something." Yusuke said smiling. I raised an eyebrow to this, but shrugged it off. Hiei was trying to back away blushing a bit, but Johnny pushed him forward. "You ask her like you were planning, or I'll ask for you, and embarrass you doing so." Johnny and Yusuke stated. But More Yusuke with the embarrassing part.
Hiei walked over to me, and looked me in the eyes pulling something out of his pocket. "Um….Dawn….um…." He was stuttering that was a bad sign.(Yes…..it's the sign that the world is ending and were all going to die…….just kidding lol) "What is it Hiei?" I said getting scared. "Um…will you…um…."
"Out with it man!" Johnny hollered. Hiei turned his head, and glared at Johnny, "Shut up it's bad enough I'm nervous!" he screamed. I gave off a giggle at the scene. I had missed their little spats while they were gone. He then turned his head back to me, and looked my in the eyes, and got down on one knee, "Since it is a costume here that….well….Dawn will you marry me?" MY eyes went wide at the shock. "Hiei…um…" I looked to the door to see Selena there leaning against the frame. "You knew about this!" She smiled evilly and nodded, "Of course….Johnny told me Hiei was having problems with it. Why do you think I took you to look at jewelry, and ask you what ring you liked?" I shrugged, "I thought it was like a natural girlly girl thing." Her jaw dropped. "I'm not a girlly girl!" I smiled, and then looked back down at Hiei who was waiting nervously for some reason. "Why are you so nervous when you already know my answer?" I asked him smiling softly. "Yes?" I rolled my eyes, "Yes." He got up and hugged me to him. I tensed a bit, but was happy.
"Now all we have to do is plan the wedding." Hiei didn't like the thought about that. "Why did you say that Selena…I mean he just got through with this…he isn't used to this, so just wait a bit." She nodded and left.
"Well, we'll leave you two love birds alone." Johnny said smirking as he pushed everyone out the door, and closed it behind him. Hiei let go of me, and looked in my eyes, but I looked to the ground. "Selena told me you weren't telling me how you felt because your pride…and we had too much to do." I nodded, "It's true…but you also have a problem with your pride so I don't want to hear it! As for we have too much to do…it's true. I have a kingdom to run….I mean I can't just go running off now can I…now that I'm in charge of some many." I said looking anywhere but in his eyes. "You couldn't tell me all the times we went patrolling together?" Hiei asked raising my gaze to meet his, "No…my pride got in the way all those times," I jerked my gaze from his, "And I held my tongue during the nights because I don't want to leave my room." I said looking away from him, turning my back to him and looking out the window. "Why?"
"Because I just don't….I don't know! I just know the night doesn't bring me happiness anymore….and that in my room I feel safe….I think back to when I didn't know anything….when I truly was the girl named Lunette, and see everything that did happen. And all the dreams I had of my past, and how I felt the pain…It brings me no joy…just more pain! It doesn't matter if I'm Dawn now or not….At times I can still feel the pain I had went through in the dreams." I stated rubbing my arms as if to keep warm.
Hiei hugged me to him from behind, "But you're safer now more then ever….and a lot stronger because of it." He whispered. "Only with your help." I whispered back as a tear ran down my cheek. "I love you…so much….please don't cry." He whispered kissing my neck lightly. "I'm not." My voice didn't even sound like a tear had been shed. "Yes you are I see that tear…." I looked towards the ground out side my window, "Something is in my eye." I wiped the tear away not caring. "Okay….I'll leave you to your thoughts." Hiei went to let go of me, but I held his arms around me, "Don't go….please don't go." Hiei turned me to him, and looked me in the eyes. "You need some sleep…." I tensed up at the thoughts, but nodded. "Come let's turn in early tonight." I nodded, and me already being in my nightgown not needing to change, I just got in bed….Hiei followed in after me. "I don't want to sleep." I whispered. "Sleep with me, and keep me company then….if not for you, for me." Hiei hugged me to him causing me to feel safe like I used to with Johnny, and his brother….in the past.
"Okay." And with that I fell to sleep to just sit in a black void, not being able to have dreams anymore.
Dear Diary,
I'm so happy. Today is Halloween….my birthday, and my wedding. We just got married Hiei and I. It was so cute when he stuttered in front of everyone so nervous with the vows. Johnny's mate finally had a kid and I'm praying she doesn't become as bad as her mother. Selena planned our honeymoon, but I don't even know where we're going so it's going to be quite a surprise. I can't even express how happy I am right now with out literally jumping up and down, and bouncing off the walls. Hiei's been trying to get me to calm down, but I don't think I will for a while. I'm proud to say I've gotten over my pride problem. And Hiei shows more emotion now then he ever have, which pleases me. At least I know he'll be okay with having a kid . Well where ever we are….we're here so I have to go. And just to tell you dearest friend…..I won't need you anymore.
Your two sided, two souled friend,
Dawn/ Lunette
The End
