A/N: Okay you know what I just realized? If someone from let's say Japan is learning English and they are talking in English they always say "eh….-." Then go on with whatever they were saying and now that I'm learning French and Finnish (at the same time) I realize why. Because they're trying to figure out the RIGHT way to say it and what word choice is right! Like I talk to a girl in France and she says "I'll eh… learn you French!" And I'm like… "no… TEACH me French." It's weird how we only know our own language and can't understand others (conversation to be continued.)
Chapter 37: Two different Worlds
"Leleel?" He asked in pure amazement, he hadn't imagined Leleel would be the one to come to them, and in such short of time also.
"Kurama… I have to speak with my sister." Her eyes bore into his, the seriousness in them had the kitsune unable to tear his own away. He felt unable to speak, thinking about whether it would be a good idea or not, though something said it would happen anyways whether he let her or not.
"Okay, hold on." He turned and stepped back into the kitchen finding Shi eating her rice on the counter and the other two still trying to find something suitable. "Shi," she looked up at him. "Someone's here for you."
She jumped down and set her food on the counter top and looked confused as she walked over to him. "Really, who?" With one look at the door her questions were instantly answered.
"Oh…" Was all she could bring herself to say. Kurama, feeling like a third wheel to them stepped away back into the kitchen where all the commotion was though Shi had made it her job of walking over to her twin and stepping out into the evening setting.
Leleel's eyes were on her the whole time though Shi's was to the ground forcing herself not to meet hers.
When the door was closed she went to the banister that ran along the perimeter of the house and leaned on it, only then did she meet the eyes of Leleel. "That was quick." She commented.
Leleel kept her distance yet leaned on the banister as her sister did looking at her still. "Yes well, I had to come before I left."
"Left?"
"Hai… that's not important right now though." Her eyes averted out to the surrounding forest that concealed the temple. "You live in a pretty place Shi, so secluded, one could lose themselves living out here for a long period."
Shi was confused but decided to follow on, "Yes, I enjoy it out here it's very peaceful when it's quiet."
"I'm sure." A silence passed between them. Shi felt utterly uncomfortable at the moment, she would have never suspected Leleel to have come here or so soon at that.
She felt like a child, a child when they know they have done something wrong though denies telling their parents and is called down, that feeling of knowing your impending trouble lies ahead.
Sometimes it confused her how the mind was able to feel such things of knowing before it had even happened.
"Shi, I'll cut to the point of this meeting, I came here tonight to apologies to you."
"Apologies?"
"Hai, I had to think about everything for awhile and when I did I realized that… in truth I don't remember why I wanted to change you to a light demon so much anyways." Shi could only stand in silence, her eyes locked on Leleel's figure.
"Maybe it was because you have something I don't, you got to live a whole life as a shadow demon, even though for quite a long time you didn't know that. Where as I was robbed of that and now feel like I have no place in either society."
"Then why don't you just leave them? They can find a new leader."
Leleel smiled in the direction of the setting sun on the horizon that quickly descended upon the quiet trees.
"I can't do that, Shi you know so little about everything, I am leader of them because I inherited our father's premonitions… that is what makes me ruler, and that cannot be ignored by them."
"But from what I see you don't get any privileges, or get to have a life." Leleel chuckled, "I don't know what a life is my dear sister.
"I never knew what it was like to have a true mother and father, to spend a holiday with the family, or to even have true friends for that matter." She had to take a breath to keep her composure still.
"It makes no difference to me whether I did or not that is the past and I will not dwell on it. But I had to come tonight to say that I am sorry for what I put all of you threw."
Shi smiled, apparently there was hope for them becoming closer. "I'm leaving for Komorum after this and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't come here and do what I am now."
Shi was confused, "Komorum?"
"Hai," she looked over at her sister with a smirk evident on her face. "Komorum is the place where my people… or all light demons reside, secluded from the rest of the Makai." 1
"Do you have to leave so soon though? I mean the whole time I've really known about you it was all out of spite really." She turned fully to Shi never breaking eye contact.
"You're a compassionate person Shi, never lose that you won't know how valuable it is until you lose it. But I do, the Ningenkai can never be my home, I don't even know where my true home, is I've lost so much of my innocence."
Leleel had to huff. "As for the spite I can honestly say that there will never be a peace between us,
"Light to dark, life to death, and optimistic to pessimistic all are completely opposites with no similarities if you look at them in a broad state, though that doesn't mean we have to entirely be enemies either."
"Good to know." Leleel moved to the few stairs leading from the house down to the open courtyard being flooded with the now late evening light that was soon fading into darkness.
"Well… I've come, I've apologized, there isn't anything left to do but for me to take my leave." The smirk appeared back on her face as her white Henki's with the red eyes appeared beside her, surprisingly Shi's appeared beside her as well.
"Oh, about our battle, you didn't win that you never would have. Pulling that sentence out that was my foresight just got to me, you would have never won." Shi smirked as well.
"I would have won and you know it."
"A slight flaw was in my battle, it won't happen again, hopefully we can do it again sometime." Shi chuckled once. "Yeah hopefully not." A minute of silence passed between the two before Leleel's Henki's came as her wings and she took flight only a few feet into the air.
"It's been an interesting journey my sister but every good journey must come to an end, our lives simply clash to much for me to even consider residing here, maybe someday you will be immaculate enough to come to Komorum and see where I reside."
Before she could even yell a retort to her she was off into the sky with Shi's blue eyes following her moves. "Whatever." She said in a huff letting her head fall down.
"Jealous?" Came Hiei's voice from beside her. "No!" Her voice came as a shout instantly in her defense. "Hey, wait, when did you get here, how much did you hear?"
"Not much, do you care that she left?"
"Well I mean besides the fact that we can't have sibling rivalry much anymore not really, I didn't know she existed before it shouldn't be that different with her gone now."
Hiei's crimson eyes lay on her still and firm, he could see past her façade it was easy to tell that she had been happy to know that she had a sister like her, though her cards didn't play out as she might have hoped.
No doubt now there would still be a known rivalry between the two, if he knew Shi it wasn't like her to lay low on anything.
"Liar."
"I am not!"
"You are to."
"Why do you say that?" Her hands went to her hips demanding his answer; it took him a moment to configure the words to say, or the right words to say.
"Because I can." She shook her head at him and turned back to staring out again. "At least maybe now it'll be peaceful without anything happening." He looked out the way she was with a small smirk on his face.
"Don't count on it." He said flatly, "with Yusuke and Kuwabara here nothing will be peaceful." She smiled. "Fine, I agree with you that much."
-
Meanwhile Leleel's sharp ears were able to pick up her twin and Hiei's conversation, she smiled also joining back with Topai and Iiro. "Did it go well?" Topai asked following close behind her parallel with Iiro.
"Hai." Details weren't needed.
"Are we going home now?" Iiro questioned.
"Hai Iiro, it's time we go home."

1: Okay I positively love the way I write this story, how I make everything it's own thing completely different from the actual story line yet still very similar to it. I guess what people have said IS true, my story is one on it's own or very different from other people's! I'm glad for some reason… is that a bad thing?
