An Unclear Future
Ryukiba kept her eyes closed even when she was awake, because he would come back if he sensed her move. Hiei's jagan was fixed on Ryukiba every second so that the moment she awoke he could make sure she didn't do anything without his approval.
She slowly moved her hand to her stomach and felt the baby move as she ran her hand over her belly a few times. it was still smooth and gave no hint to anyone that she was with child.
It was dangerous to be a pregnant yasha in demon world.
She sighed before moving her aching arm so her hand could rest on her cheek. Hiei fidgeted in the next room.
"What's wrong?" Kurama asked and Kuroneko grimaced as she dropped a puppy into the largest snake cage.
"Nothing I just..."
Ryukiba had, had enough of this faking. She sat up, opened blazing indigo eyes an with a jolt of her long forgotten koorime energy she put a wall of ice across the doorway were both new and old spirit detectives stood just beyond.
"What the-" Rusty darted forward and hit the freezing surface with a spirit energy emblazoned fist. It did nothing, there was more hen just demon energy keeping that ice solid. Ryukiba's life dwelled to keep it in place as well.
"I don't want to be beautiful!" She screamed as she swallowed the last pill, locked in the bathroom she had all that she would need.
Flaym rammed into the ice once more before finally she turned to Hiei in defeat. He cursed in every demon language he knew as he and the others channeled their energy into breaking down the barrier, thoughts of what might be happening outside ran through their minds like blood ran from Ryukiba's slit wrists.
But still she was not satisfied. It takes a long time for a demon to bleed to death and even as she sat by the tub of scalding hot water she rummaged in the bag she'd taken to the Dark Tournament.
As her hand closed around her prize she realized that this story had been over before it had begun. Slowly she pulled the cork from the poison and in one gulp, she drained the bottle.
It was made of Hellfury's blood.
It burnt as it went down and she lifted Hiei's sword to hack her wrists open once more.
She sank into the water fully dressed, feeling almost too dizzy to tell up from down.
She groped for Hiei's sword and unsheathed it, putting the point clumsily at her belly she felt her vision going dark as her heart beat slowed to a dangerous pace.
She would spare her child from the fate it's mother had...
She plunged the blade in just as her heart beat stopped.
The ice shattered into a thousand tiny shards, falling like tears to the carpet as Ryukiba's friends rushed in different directions.
Hiei slammed his shoulder against the bathroom floor and stood there unblinking as he took in the sight before him.
Ryukiba, his mate, laying in now icy cold water, wrists slashed, empty pill bottles scattered everywhere, a single drop of poison rolling from her lips.
A single drop of Hellfury's drug dripping from her lips.
All the dye gone from her hair to turn to water an inky black and leave her pure of Hellfury. Hiei's katana still embedded in her stomach.
He realized now, that Hellfury's blood had been in that dye, the same she'd always dyed her hair with.
Dragons blood is a powerful drug when its placed on any part of you.
Dragons blood is a powerful poison when its placed inside you.
They didn't have a funeral, they burrried her outside in the forest behind Genkai's temple.
Kuroneko said she would've liked to have been there to say goodbye to her best friend.
Rusty said he was sorry for not trusting her, he hadn't known about the dye in her hair.
Yusuke and Kuwabara said they wished they had known her better so they would have something else to say.
Inutsume said he'd love her even in death.
Ryuichi said he'd miss her terribly.
Ronin said he wanted too kick her ass for killing herself.
Kata couldn't say anything through his sobs.
Hiei just plain couldn't say anything at all, not even look at her roughly made tomb stone as Kuroneko put Ryukiba's scarf on it.
But as they turned to walk away Koenma appeared head bowed in respect as he said, "Hiei! Wait."
Hiei turned slowly as a single black stone fell to the ground at his feet and a small hand reached from the bundle in Koenma's arms.
"I thought...well here..." He handed the little baby to Hiei without another word and Hiei looked as he had to use every ounce of self control not to widen his eyes in horror.
Hiei snatched the scarf off the grave, wrapped his daughter in it, and without another word walked back to the temple, soon after, everyone else followed.
His daughter looked up at him with one red eye and one completely black eye.
One dragons eye.
A tattoo of a black dragon of the darkness flame wond up her body just as it had done to Ryukiba as with a look of innocence painted on here face, his indigo haired daughter drifted off to sleep.
In a sing song voice, hidden in the depths of an infants mind, a damned creature gave a fanged grin as he said in a sing song voice.
"I'm Back."
As he said it, his new host woke and began to cry as she lay in her father's arms.
Well, that would depend how you looked at it.
It would be better to say, her demon father's arms.
As with an unclear future in Hiei's mind, he rocked his daughter back to sleep.
Not knowing when he did, he sent her to her dragon father's arms.
The end. REVIEW! If you want the sequel that is.
