Chapter Six:

Endless Sarrow

"Why did you not kill him?" Yakon asked looking at me.

"Forgive me, my lord. he had left before I could do anything." I paused then said, "all I was able to do was challenge him to a fight."

"When will this happen?" Yakon asked.

"I do not know. It could be tonight, tomorrow, or any of the next days, my lord." I said.

"Hopefully it's tonight." Yakon paused saying, "I want to see him perish as soon as possible."

My head was still bowing towards him. So yakon didn't see the rage pass through my eyes.

"If you'll excuse me, my lord. I beleive our child didn't agree with supper." I said getting up leaving his chamber.

Right when I had gotten to the bathroom, I had gotten sick.

"Hiei," I thought sitting down in my room. "I wish I could talk to you, my love. If it comes down to it. I want you to kill me."

-------------------------------------------------

"This pain won't go away. No matter what I try to do. Am I wrong for not listening to what she had to say?" Hiei sat in a tree thinking.

Kurama and the others saw him.

Kurama looked at Hiei with sympathy in his eyes as he saw Hiei's eyes moisten with his tears. He could feel his anger rise at the thought of what Hiei and I had to do.

Kurama curled his fists in anger.

Yusuke and Kuwabara saw blood dripping from Kurama's hands.

"Kurama? Are you alright?" Yusuke asked.

"No. I'm pissed at what Hiei and Kara have to do." Kurama paused saying, "I can't stand to see them torn apart. They are both getting scars on their hearts"

Kurama decided to leave and go back to Genkai's.

Yusuke and Kuwabara fallowed him back to Genkai's.

------------------------------------------------

"Kurama? What's wrong?" Mom paused then asked. "Where are Kara and Hiei?"

"They are no longer together," Kurama said looking at her. "They are going to be fighting eachother."

"What!" Mom asked shocked.

"Yakon is getting exactly what he wants," Yusuke said.

"Brother, Kara." Yukina thought sadly.

--------------------------------------------------

I was watching the sky become dark as stars started to appear one after another. When my eye caught a glimps of a shooting star.

I had closed my eyes and wished, "I wish that Hiei can forgive me. I also wish that he will kill me when the time comes for us to fight." I had wiped the tears that had snuck out of my eyes.

What I didn't notice, was Hiei in the trees watching me.

"Hiei," I whispered as another tear snuck out of my eye.

"Kara," Hiei thought as his eyes filled with tears. "Please forgive me for not listening to you."

"Where is that bastard!" Yakon yelled coming into my room.

"Where is who? My lord?" I asked bowing towards Yakon.

"That fire demon is here," Yakon said.

"I have never seen him, my lord." I said.

"I know he's near here," Yakon said.

I felt my heart jump in happiness, thinking Hiei was close by.

"Go out there, find him, and destroy him. Now!" Yakon yelled towards me.

"Yes, my lord." I said bowing towards Yakon as I left.

I had gone outside to look for Hiei.

I was walking into the woods. When all of a sudden Hiei jumped in front of me.

I stopped and looked at him with tears in my eyes.

"Hiei, I-,"

"Forgive me, Kara." Hiei said as he held his hand out to me.

I ran to him and hugged him. "I'm sorry Hiei. I never meant to hurt you. I was trying to think of a way to protect us and the others." I looked at him and said as tears fell out of my eyes, "we still have to fight. We will never be free if we don't do it."

--------------------------------------------------------

"Kara and Hiei are about to fight." Genkai said to the others.

"What!" Yusuke asked.

"Damn it!" Kurama yelled angrily.

Kurama and yusuke changed into their demon forms.

Kuwabara looked back at Yukina and Shota.

"Do you want to come? It is your choice if you want to be there for your brother and sister."

"I'm going," Shota said.

"Shota! No!" Mom said.

"Kara was there for me when I was kidnapped. It's my turn to be there for her."

"I shall go too," Yukina said. "They both need us there for them."

------------------------------------------------------

"So she had enough power not to fall under my spell." yakon said angrily. "She was fooling me the whole time!"

Yakon went outside to see if Hiei and I would fight or not.

All of a sudden, I had felt immense pain in my back.

As I had fallen to the ground, Hiei noticed the sword in my back.

"Kara!" Hiei yelled shocked to see a sword in my back.

He looked towards the area of where the sword came from. Hiei's spirit energy had risen to it's peak.

"Hiei, take the sword out." I said looking at him with blood running down my mouth. "It's okay. I'll be alright." I said smiling at him.

------------------------------------------------------

"Kara!" Yusuke and the others yelled seeing the sword in my back.

Hiei pulled the sword out of my back and threw it to the ground.

"Yakon," I said getting up off of the ground. "You're going to have to do better than that to kill me." I said spitting out blood.

Blood was still dripping down my back as I stood up.

Hiei and the others noticed I had used my powers to heal my wound.

"The pill you took-" Yakon said.

"It had no effect what so ever on my body or mind." I paused then said, "the pill you gave me had given me strength to defeat you. Not to be controlled by you or kill my beloved."

"I had desgned the pill myself for brainwashing my victims." Yakon paused then asked angrily, "how in the hell did you change it!"

"You don't need to know," I said holding my sword.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Sister!" Shota yelled.

All of a sudden Yakon threw a dagger towards Shota's heart.

"Damn it!" I said running towards Shota.

I had reached him just in time.

The dagger had entered my chest stopping a couple of inches from my heart.

"Kara!" Hiei yelled.

My eyes had begun to glow white.

More blood had spilled out of my mouth.

Yusuke and the others saw a small puddle in fromnt of me.

"Something's coming!" Yusuke yelled looking as the clouds parted. The bright light had entered the entire are of where we were in the forest.

------------------------------------------------------------

Genkai was looking towards the area of where Yusuke and the others ran to.

"Kara," Mom said looking towards the area becoming white.

"This power is immense. It's just like Hiei's 'Dragon of the Darkness Flame'," Genkai said to Karen.

"She must be one of the few to summon it." Mom said looking at the sky. "Now I know why Shuya knocked her out that time she was attacked by demons."

----------------------------------------------------------

Shizuru was with Keiko shopping. They had also seen the light.

"What is that?" Keiko asked.

"Whatever it is. I can sense it's good." Shizuru said looking at the light.

-----------------------------------------------------

"What's going on down there?" Koenma asked.

"Lord Koenma," Botan said coming in Koenma's office. I'm sensing strong energy down on earth. Is this yusuke's power?" She asked.

"No," Koenma paused then said. "I don't know who's power it is."

"This power is from Kara," Shuya said to them.

"This is your daughter's power?" Koenma asked.

"She must be one of the few Celestial Maidens to summon this creature." Shuya said smiling. "I knew she had it in her."

"Should I go down there?" Botan asked.

"If you want/ I sense no danger whatsoever from this power." Koenma said.

"Lord Koenma? May I go as well?" Shuya asked.

"You want to see your daughter." Koenma said.

"Yes sir." Shuya said.

"You may go," Koenma said.

"Thank you, sir." Shuya paused then said, "I have to return something to her anyways."

"I see," Koenma paused then said. "let me know what happened when you return."

"Yes sir." They both said leaving for earth.

------------------------------------------------------------

"What's going on?" A man on a motorcycle stopped all of a sudden.

"Do you sense something Kaname?" A blond haired kid asked sitting behind him.

"I don't know what it is, Kyoshi." Kaname said driving towards the area. "But I want to find out."

-------------------------------------------------------

"Do you sense something Dr. Kamiya?" A little boy playing video games.

"I'm sensing strong energy from that forest, Amanuma." Dr. kamiya said.

"Should we go and see what it is?" Amanuma asked.

"I'm interested to know what's going on." Dr. Kamiya said.

"Then let's go," Amanuma said as he finished playing his game.

---------------------------------------------------

Three kids were eating lunch together when they had sensed enormous power coming from the spirit forest.

They looked towards the forest and saw a bright light over the forest.

"What the heck is that?" The kid with blue hair asked.

"I don't know. But it's strong. What do you think Kaito?" The blond haired kid said.

"I agree with Kidou, Ynangisua." The black haired kid with glasses said. "The light is very strong but, I sense no evil in it."

"Let's go and see what it is." Kido said etting up and leaving.

---------------------------------------------------

Yusuke and the others had noticed white wings appear in the sky.

"What is that?" Yusuke asked.

"She is mine." I said pulling the dagger out.

"Who is she?" Yukina asked.

"Celest. She is the guardian dragon of the Celestial Maidens. You can thank Yakon for helping me." I paused then said smiling, "the only people who can summon her. Are the people willing to go to any costs to protect their loved ones. Even if it means their own life."

Once again blood spilled out of my mouth as I fell to the ground.

"Kara!" Hiei yelled running towards me.

By the time he reached me it was too late. my heart had stopped and I had no pulse.

"Kara," Hiei said as tears fell out of his eyes.

His tears turned into black stones as they fell to the ground.

"Kara, wake up." Shota said.

"Her life force is completely gone." Kurama said making a fist.

Yusuke was about to pick me up and leave.

"Yusuke!" Botan yelled. "Leave Kara where she is!"

"Botan what are you doing here?" Yusuke asked.

"Kara!" Shuya yelled running towards me.

"Who are you?" Yusuke asked.

Mister are you going to save my sister?" Shota asked.

"I don't know if I can. But, I'll try." Shuya said.

---------------------------------------------------------

Kaname, Kyoshi, Amanuma, Dr. Kamiya, Kidou, Kaito, and Yanagisua arrived at the spot where they had sensed the energy.

"What's going on here?" Kidou asked.

Everybody looked and saw my body glowing white.

Shuya gathered energy into his palms and placed one over my chest. he had waited until I had woken up.

"What happened?" I asked.

Shota hugged me with tears in his eyes.

"Kara!" Shota yelled hugging me.

"Are you okay, Shota?" I asked him.

I looked at the man who was holding me.

"Thank you, sir." I said to the man.

"I have something to return to you." Shuya said to me. He placed his palm on my forehead as his energy gathered to the center of it.

All of a sudden tears were falling out of my eyes as the energy poured into my head.

"Kara?" Hiei asked.

"It can't be. I never remember that happening to me." I paused then said hugging the man. "Father. I've wanted to see you for so long."

"How's your mother doing?" Shuya asked.

"Good. She misses you though. You should go and see her," I said getting up. "I have to finish this fight. Shota," I paused then said looking at him. "Go with Dad back home to Mom."

"But, Kara." Shota said.

I placed my hand on his head, "do as I say. You and Dad need to get to know eachother."

"He's not going anywhere. I shall have him die before your very eyes." Yakon said shooting his energy towards Shota.

My sword had materialized in my right hand.

Yakon's energy had bounced off of my sword and shot right back towards him.

"I won't let you do that." I said looking at him. I paused then said looking at Shota. "Now get out of here. Both of you."

"Sister."

"Go now!" I yelled.

"Let's go, Shota. Kara can take care of things here." Shuya said.

"Okay," Shota said leaving with Shuya.

-------------------------------------------------

Karen and Genkai looked towards the temple doors as they opened.

"Can it really be you?" Mom asked.

"It's been a long seven years Karen. Kara and Shota have grown into beautiful children." Shuya said smiling at her. "I had given Kara back her memories and her life back."

"She was able to come back to life?" Karen asked. "I'm glad." She said as tears fell out of her eyes.

Shuya walked up to Mom and kissed her.

Shota smiled as he watched Mom and Dad kiss and hug eachother.

----------------------------------------------------

Celest had picked me up by my shirt collar. She had placed me on her head.

"Celest? You want me to use my final attack?" I asked.

She nodded and flapped her wings.

We had flown high into the air. When she stopped, we were about 200 feet in the air.

I raised my sword into the air and began to enchant the spell for summoning the celestial maiden's greatest power.

My sword ahd started to glow so bright Yusuke and the others couldn't watch.

"I summon the strength of all of the Celestial Maidens able to summon and not summon Celest! The Guardian Dragon of our country of Crystalys! I summon to gather all of your powers to my sword so we could all hopefully defeat this demon that has threatened your new Queen!" I yelled feeling my sword grow more powerful as I felt the energies of each Celestial Maiden enter it.

I had jumped off of Celest and fell towards the ground.

I had caught Yakon in my sight.

I had swung my sword towards him as the energy blasted off of my sword.

The energy shot through Yakon.

Hiei caught me as I came towards the ground.

"Kara?" Hiei asked holding me.

I opened my eyes weakly.

"Did we get him?" I asked.

Hiei and everyone else looked towards where Yakon was.

Hiei's eyes blazed angrily at seeing Yakon still alive.

Hiei laid me down and began to take the bandages off of his right hand.

His jagan eye was out from behind his headband.

Black fire began to leap from his right arm as he summoned his Dragon of the Darkness Flame.

"Like that dragon could have any effect on me," Yakon said smiling sarcastically. "The other dragon didn't affect me either."

"Yakon," I said sitting up in Kurama's arms. "I never used Celest's powers on you."

"What?" Yusuke asked.

"Where did that power come from?" Kidou asked.

"I had summoned all the powers of the celestial Maidens." I said. "For I am the new queen of the country, Crystalys. The people who were able to summon Celest, become the new queen. Now I understand why my father knocked me out and took my powers away until now," I paused then said looking at everyone. "If I had used any of these powers I have now, I would have been dead before this fight even began."

"I shall destroy you so that could be true." Yakon said throwing a sword at me.

My eyes began to glow bright white as I had cast a barrier around everyone who was in the forest. "I won't let you hurt anyone here."

Black fire was leaping from Hiei's right arm as he began to release his dragon.

"Now it's time you faced my dragon.." Hiei said as his body became enveloped in black flames.

Hiei had shot his dragon towards Yakon.

Most of the trees surrounding us had been burnt to the ground.

When the smoke cleared and the dragon returned to Hiei, everyone had once again, seen Yakon unharmed.

"I never thought he would be this strong," I thought angrily.

All of a sudden Yakon disappeared.

"Where in the hell did he go!" Hiei asked angrily.

"He's gone. i can no longer sense his presence." I said to him.

I had felt my eyes drifted shut as I began to fall asleep.

Celest had picked me up as I fell asleep. Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, and yusuke had hopped onto her back as she began to fly into the air.

Kaname and Kiyoshi fallowed us on Kaname's motorcycle.

Dr. Kamiya drove behind them with Amanuma, Kidou, Kaitou, and Yanagisua in the back of the truck.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"They're back." Genkai said.

Karen, Shuya, and Shota ran outside to see how I was

"Kara?" mom asked my name as Hiei jumped down with me in his arms.

"She's exhausted. She'll be fine after she sleeps." Shuya said while thinking, "I'm proud of you sweetheart."

Hiei took me to lay down in our room.

"They are both going to have their hands full," Shuya said smiling at the others.

"What do you mean?" Kurama asked.

"Hiei didn't give Kara a child. He gave her two children."

"Twins?" Yukina asked.

Shuya nodded his head.

"Amazing," Kurama said smiling.

------------------------------------------------

I had started to wake up and saw Hiei watching me.

"Hiei," I said sitting up. I smiled as I hugged him, "I'm so happy you're alright."

"I'm fi-," Hiei couldn't say the rest as I kissed him.

Hiei pressed my body hard against him as he kissed me back just as hard and with as much passion.

Soon both of us were underneath my covers as we kissed and carressed eachother's bodies.

We had both fallen asleep with our bodies still connected.

When Kurama looked in to check on us, he saw me sleeping on top of Hiei with his arms wrapped around me.

He smiled from closed our bedroom door.

-------------------------------------------------

"They're both sleeping," Kurama said to the other.

"I think we should throw Kara a baby shower." Mom said.

"I think that would be good." Genkai paused then said, "plus that will make them both so much happier to have some fun in their lives."

--------------------------------------------

"I must get stronger. If I didn't leave right then. One more attack would have finished me off." Yakon said angrily.

He was thinking of anything from spells to working out like humans do.

"No matter what, I will kill them." Yakon said making a fist.

------------------------------------------------
