Brace yourself, for its the finale!
Chapter 19!

"You lost what?" Yusuke asked.

"We can't help you look for it unless you tell us what it is," Kurama said, doing his best not to look at Hiei.

I was a fool for not knowing that, even if Hiei was telepathic, he would know anyway that I lost his necklace. It would take a dimwitted person not to realize, and Hiei was the opposite. It was written all over my face and I tried my hardest not to make eye contact with him, all the time, feeling ridiculous. I sighed, I should just say it once and get it over with, face the wrath of Hiei, "Err... I lost the necklace Hiei let me borrow."

"You WHAT?" Yusuke and Kuwabara both yelled their shock, their mouths hanging open. "You have a death wish or something?"

I took a step back in shock myself. I was almost certain that Hiei would be saying those lines, and not Yusuke and Kuwabara. After all, it was his necklace! The very precious tear that Hina had cried when he was born.

"Yes. I mean, no, I don't have a death wish! But yeah, I lost his necklace, chop me in half please!" I answered.

I looked a Hiei now, and he just stared back but didn't say anything. This is what bothered me more, was he just too angry to say anything? It was just my luck for things to turn out this way. I sighed again and retreated to my room and began looking around the nightstand where I had left it. Kurama eyed Hiei quickly before he went in with Yusuke and Kuwabara to help search for the necklace. Hiei was the last to enter, and he just took a seat on the bed and waited, watching me.

"I'll look through the shelves," Kurama suggested, but after looking at all those mysterious items, he wasn't sure if he should play along and actually search.

Fool. Fool. Fool. Fool. Fool. Fool. FOOL! I kept on saying inside my head. Why'd you even take it off? Eh? You stupid fool! Argh!

I should be the one asking that questions Sana. Why did you take off the necklace? Hiei's voice came in, penetrating my barrier around my mind.

Without thinking much, I answered, Well... I thought you were angry so I was going to give you the necklace back. I mean, you can't hide the fact we physically fought...

And what does that have to do with this? The Sana I know, one, wouldn't loose control, and two, knows better than that. Hiei replied, shifting his position on the bed to look outside the window. There he saw two small figures talking outside the gates, which no one else had noticed, and he decided not to make anyone aware of the people there anyway. Keeping his eyes on them, he asked, Now, the real Sana, if she had taken off the necklace to give back to me, she wouldn't be looking for it as if her life depends on it, even if it does. You do know if you don't find it I'm going to really have to kill you?

Hmph. You think you have me all figured out? I'm looking for it cause it's yours and not mine, what's more to it? And you would be helping too, not sitting there like you rule the world. Isn't that necklace precious to you, part of your life? Well, its precious to me because its precious to you, or does that not make sense to you anymore? I retorted, the anger building up in my words I spat back at him in his thoughts.

The people outside seemed to have started argueing. One was shaking a fist at the other one, and she looked rather angry. The other was trying his best to calm her down, but he failed with all attempts and just let his head hang until she was done venting. The girl shouted something, then spun around sharply, walking away through the gate and vanished from sight.

Okay! Fine, Hiei, you win. I'm asking for forgiveness okay? The fact that I raised my sword against you haunts me, doesn't it have a little effect on you, Mr. Demon, I grumbled.

I slammed my hand down on the nightstand, the lamp on it fell to the floor from the force and shattered. My hand stung a little while after, but it just tickled to me. The necklace was no where, the crystal was gone, and not even the string was left. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama had no luck either and I was about to throw myself on the bed and make a huge fuss and throw a fit when the door to my room blew open and an angry woman came in, fuming from the ears.

"SANA! YOU HAVE TO TALK SOME SENSE INTO KOENMA RIGHT NOW!" the woman yelled, her voice catching my attention. I knew I knew that voice from somewhere.

I heard Yusuke and Kuwabara gasp while Kurama mumbled something that I did not catch. Hiei did his normal, Hn, and I turned around to face the newcomer, to give her my angry answer, "Well, if you're so angry at him why don't you do it- YOU!"

"What? That's my welcome?" a young demon stood in the door, her arms crossed over her chest.

"But- He said- miracles... Wha- I can't speak," I managed to say. I took a deep breath, pushed the thoughts of the lost necklace to the back of my mind for this moment only and then shrieked, "Shiku!"

She smirked. "Now, that's more like it. Man, at first I thought you thought I should have stayed dead. What type of person greets a person who just rose from the dead with an angry retort? I'll have you know that Akira is with Vincent in hell," she joked. "They give you their threats."

"They belong there," I grumbled.

I turned around to face Hiei now and I almost turned into his outstretched hand, where his necklace lay, the one that was supposedly lost. "I found it," he grumbled.

"What? Sana, you lost his necklace? Dude, I thought you'd never take your eyes off of it," Shiku said, her good mood rising.

Yusuke and Kuwabara both regarded the necklace with shock. How could Hiei have found it when he wasn't even looking when all four of them had no chance of even finding a small clue to where it might have been. Kurama shook his head slightly, still disagreeing with whatever Hiei had told him before. "Where did you find it?" Kuwabara and I asked at the same time.

Hiei didn't reply but put the necklace in my hand. "Don't you dare loose it again." Then he left the room, leaving all five of us puzzled behind.

- Later That Night -

Hiei had left the room and never returned. At first, I thought he would be back, and I stayed with the others and talked with Shiku. Thought I had been sleeping most of the time after the battle and her death, we still found lots of things to catch up on, like normal girls. When I'll look back on this day, I swear I'll laugh at myself for acting the way I did and said the things I said.

But the clocked ticked near midnight, and Hiei's disappearance grew on me. Yusuke and Kuwabara had retired to their rooms after the tenth card game and Shiku bid good-bye until the tomorrow. Only Kurama was left in my room, who was putting the cards back into their box. Suddenly, he said, "I'm to pass along a message from Hiei as soon as everyone left. Go find him."

That was the message, and though I did not question it, it took its hold in my thoughts as I scryed the entire place for Hiei. It took me forever before I found him near the River Styx just a little after the gates.

"You know, you could have left later and not so early. What the hell did you do here all day?" I asked him. "Oh, and I figured it out."

"Hn."

"I'm officialy on the team again, Koenma said, you missed it. Well, not really officially, since it aint my job," I muttered the last sentence under my breath.

"Hn."

"Well, if this is all you have to say after making me run around like an idiot trying to find you, I will be going back," I said.

I turned to leave as soon as Hiei stood up. He suddenly appeared in front of me and tagged me. "What is up with you today Hiei?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. "Are you sure you're Hiei?"

"Have you forgotten your childish Human game?" he asked.

"No, of course not," I replied.

"Then you're supposed to try and catch me," Hiei said, then he leaned foward and kissed me.
