A/N:
-This chapter is dedicated to Yukina. I thought it an interesting contrast to compare the two siblings. Hiei, who chose immortality and deeply regrets it, and Yukina, who, due to her full Koorime heritage, has no choice. Of course, she will not live forever, but long past the time all those she loved have died and their bones faded to dust. Left distraught, her loneliness had affected her in a manner no one could have predicted. Well, here's the new chapter. Enjoy.
Desolate
Why are you crying,
why are you all alone?
Why are you weeping,
forgotten and forlorn?
Why have you been abandoned,
left to die?
Why have they told you nothing,
nothing but lies?
Is this a gibe,
a sick game by Fate?
Will she twist and turn you,
until it's too late?
Your pain of being discarded,
will it go away?
Or will that ache in your heart,
haunt you for the rest of your days?
That pang in your chest,
will it ever fade?
Will the hurting stop,
will it eventually wane?
When will the scorn go,
when will it ebb?
"They left you for nothing!"
That's what the voices said.
Is this surreal,
fiction or not?
Will you be overcome by sorrow,
left distraught?
Has it happened,
have you been caught in despair's pitiful net?
The truth, pathetic mourner,
is that you are helplessly Desolate.

A/N:
-I believe this the first time Yukina's been portrayed in a negative light. It's what I wanted to do, because I wanted to try something different with the character. The end result is a severely aged and slightly mental Yukina.
-I noticed this chapter differs from the others in that it is not from first point of view. I did try to change it, but it was much better left unchanged.
-We're past the point where I have to tell you to review, aren't we?
