Hiei sat on the ground while Rena frantically wrapped a cloth around his burnt arm. He noticed she was trying to hurry.
"How are you supposed to fight Tiguoro if you cant use your arm!?"
"What are you talking about? Look, he's gone."
"You mean…it's really over?"
"Yes, see. Now you can live a normal, happy life with no more pain and regrets."
"I-I can't believe it's finally over.. It seems like it's been forever... Ah, the words perfect seem to great right now."
"I guess the last thing you need for your life to be perfect is for me get out of it."
"What…?"
"I've caused you so much pain and I know you said you would forgive me, but the only way for you to really move on is for me to leave. At least then you could find a human that loves you instead of some demon."
"Hiei…I never asked you to leave. I just said I needed time."
"You didn't have to; I could see it in your eyes."
"…Well maybe you saw wrong!…"
"What are you trying to say…?"
"I'm…just saying that…"
Rena trailed off, as she felt herself leaning forward. Her lips met with Hieis while she gently placed her hand on his cheek. He returned the kiss and then it ended. Hiei looked up at Rena.
"But I thought you said…and your family…"
"Don't think…" Rena whispered. "…Just feel."
She looked into his eyes and this time they both leaned forward to kiss, and Rena put her arms around his shoulders while they continued. Vegeta stood a few feet away, while a smiled played with his lips; he was happy to see Rena happy again. When their kiss ended, Hiei asked Rena.
"So where do we start from here?"
"Where everyone starts. At the bottom, and work our way up."
"Well then, let's get started…Rena? …What's wrong?"
"Hiei… I have something to tell you…"
"What is it?"
"I haven't been completely honest with you… our Sayian planet, Vegeta, was really an evil place. We killed million of people and would take over any other planet we saw that was in our way. Only because we wanted to prove that we were the strongest. Well, one day, an even more evil ruler named Frieza killed the king and took over our planet. He was stronger than any of the Sayians but they still tried to overthrow him (One of those being Gokus father, Barrdok) so he blew up our planet. Now, my father escaped because Goku was sent to earth a few minutes before Vegeta was destroyed to take over earth and destroy it also. Vegeta survived because he was forced to be Friezas slave. His father was actually the king, you know."
"Wow… I would have never guessed… I can't believe you treated me like that even though your past was almost the same."
"I know.. I'm so sorry. I know about my ancestors past but you see, I never lived that life. My life was calm and peaceful so I automatically shunned people like you. I know shouldn't have done that to you…"
"Hey.. It's okay. I completely understand. You see, my life was supposed to be good because of my parents influence -they were really good demons I heard- but when Tiguoro killed them… you know."
"Yeah…"
"I have a question, though. Why didn't your father destroy earth? I mean he was evil at one time right?"
"Well, I suppose. He was only a child."
"A CHILD! How could a child possibly have the mind, not to mention strength, to do that."
"Well, the Sayians were extremely powerful I heard. Even a new born could at least kill another Sayian."
"Whoa.."
"See, my father was supposed to go somewhere else first, where he would train as he grew, but his ship was caught in a meteorite shower and knocked it off course. By some coincidence he crashed here he went into a coma from hitting his head. Grand paw Gohan found him and took care of him, and when Goku finally awoke; he forgot all about his mission to destroy, kill and live the ruthless Sayian life."
"How did he find all this out if he forgot?"
"Well…his brother Raddiks told him… he's uh actually dead now… after trying to kill my brother. Other surviving Sayians have done the same… trying to get us to join them… my father died saving this planet… because of him I'm still alive…"
"Rena… I'm sorry… I've been so selfish, only thinking of my loss. I can't imagine how someone like you must feel, always worrying about who was gonna try to kill you next… I suppose I can understand why you wouldn't like outsiders then."
"So you don't hate me?"
"Never."
Hiei kissed Rena one more time and then stood and helped Rena up. She grabbed his hand and he smiled as they walked toward a new life together.
Three months later, Hiei and Rena sat under a tree observing their most pleased accomplishment: the rebuilding of Hieis house. It was much bigger than before, and a lot nicer too. It had taken a while with just the two of them and Vegeta, but it was worth it for Rena spent most of her time over there anyway. Rena couldn't believe the years that had gone by. She was now 20 and had known Hiei for four years, and after four years of being with someone you love, (yes, even the two years she ran away) its only obvious what the next step is right? But not to ponder that question now. Rena and Hiei were just fine with how things were. As they were staring at the house, Goten, Rena's little brother, came running up to them shouting.
"Rena, Rena, Rena, daddy's back!"
The end
