Chapter 35: A Sad Goodbye

"Hikari…Hikari." Rokuro's voice rang through her mind.

She slowly started to wake up and she couldn't really make out just what Rokuro was saying but she thought that he was talking to someone else.

"What happened?" She muttered clutching her head. But every move that she made sent pain running through her entire body.

"You were fighting Naraku and then there was a huge explosion and a bright light then the next thing we see is Naraku is gone and you're passed out all beaten up." Rokuro explained.

"Daisuke!" Hikari shouted and sat up quickly.

She clutched her stomach because of the cut that she obtained form the explosion. For some reason she lost a good amount of energy from it as well.

"Hikari don't push your self, you're badly injured as it is." Her bother stated trying to get her to relax a bit more.

"What happened to Daisuke? Where is he?" She asked worried.

"I just want to relax." Hiroshi ordered.

"Please Hiro, tell me what happened." She begged with tears starting to form at the corners of her eyes.

Rokuro and Hiroshi looked at each other and sighed then Hiro picked up his sister and they walked over to where Daisuke was laying. Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth and he had some very deep gashes all over his body form the explosion.

"Daisuke…" Hikari muttered as tears started slipping down her cheeks.

Hiro set her down next to him and she was able to sit up right. "Why?" She asked him. "Why did you get between Naraku and I?" she gripped the grass and her tears started to fall onto her lap.

"B-because, I didn't you want to die." He replied softly and she looked at him in shock.

"But now your hurt and it's all my fault." She sobbed.

"No it's not." He stated then started going into a coughing fit. More blood started to slip out of his mouth.

"You're dying Daisuke how can it not be my fault?" She cried.

"I won't be dead Hikari." He whispered then he placed a hand over her heart. I'm always in here." He smiled weakly "And if I'm always in your heart that will be enough for me." He started coughing again.

"But…" Hikari started then Daisuke cut her off.

"Beside's you already love me." He stated and she stared at him in shock.

"W-what do you mean?" She questioned.

"Zen..." He muttered as the light started fading from his eyes. "Zen is my reincarnation."

Hikari sat there with a shocked expression on her face and Daisuke managed to laugh a little as he placed a hand on her right cheek. "I'll…always…be…watching…" He smiled and his eyes slowly closed and his hand slid off of Hikari's cheek and hit the ground.

"H-he's dead…" Hikari muttered.

Everything was quiet around them there was no wind, no sound of birds chirping. It was like everything had stopped. While Hikari was saying her final goodbye to Daisuke Hiroshi went down into the cave and retrieved Zen's body. Hikari didn't say a word she just sat there and stared at the ground.

'How is that possible? Zen is Daisuke's reincarnation?' she thought.

"Hikari…" Rokuro stated getting her attention.

"What is it?" She questioned looking up at him.

"Look." He said pointing to what was in front of her.

She looked in the direction that he was pointing in and she saw that Daisuke's body was fading away.

"W-what's going on?" She asked.

Once Daisuke's body faded away not even a minuet later Zen started to move around.

"Zen?" Hikari asked staying in her spot.

His hazel eyes started to open and he turned his head to the direction that he heard his name. He blinked a few times then realized that Rokuro and Hikari were right there.

"Hey." He weakly smiled at them.

"You're ok." Hikari laughed and jumped on him.

"H-Hikari!" Zen stuttered surprised.

"Don't ever do that to me again." She cried into his chest and hugged him.

He smiled a bit and lifted her chin so he could see her face. "Don't worry I'll try not to." Then he kissed her.
