6. It's That Simple

Title: It's That Simple

Character: Hiei

Summary: Hiei's thoughts as he faces Shigure in Mukuro's stronghold.

All I have to do now, is win this battle with Shigure. It's that simple, and yet at the same time, it isn't. Because victory doesn't equal survival. Not anymore.

Death had stared me in the face numerous times in my life. I had always managed to turn away, though rarely unscathed. But back then, I had goals to accomplish.

There is but one goal now.

The fight is over quickly. I know I have won, though I can't see Shigure fall, because I'm falling as well. I'm too exhausted to care. Maybe when I'm dead, I can rest.
