tears of a goddess

X -x-x-x-x- X

After her funeral, nothing was the same. Yusuke didn't come out of his room and everyone was silent.

Kimiko was wracked with guilt as she remembered what had happened. Not only had he killed Keiko because of her, but he had gotten her to cry, in turn, winning finally. He was immortal.

Hiei hadn't spoken to her, mostly because he felt guilty. How could he approach her when he didn't know what to say? No amount of sex would fix this.

Yukina was the worst completely pulling away from everyone. Even more so than Yusuke.

"Hello, Koenma." Genkai said. Everyone looked up at the Prince.

"Hello." He gave a heavy sigh. "Kimiko?" he said surprising her.

"Yes?" She looked up at him.

"Do you know who you are?" he asked sitting down. "Or should I ask, what?"

She flinched. "No."

"I think he told you something," he said assuredly.

"Koenma, what's going on?" Botan asked. Kurama put his arm around her.

"I believe we have stumbled upon something huge," Koenma started. "You see, Kimiko is a goddess." Everyone was surprised and looked at Kimiko. She looked down in her lap and fidgeted. "I think he told you that, ne?" Koenma asked.

"Yes," she said softly.

"What's a goddess?" Hiei asked coming closer.

"A very pure spirit of the highest caliber. Their purpose is to watch over dead spirits and make them happy with their magic. Ten years ago we got word that one was stolen from us. We searched for her but we could never find her. Your name is Elliorian."

Kimiko looked up and blinked. "What a pretty name..." she whispered.

"Yes. Well, when a goddess leaves Reikai she loses all memory of her life there, becoming flesh and blood. He took you and tortured you, right?"

"Yes," she said blankly.

"Why?" The fury in Hiei's voice was not hard to miss.

"He told me that I had a gift and all I needed to do was cry. I didn't know how. He tried everything to get me to cry, but I just couldn't. When I felt like I would, I realized if I did he would win. I just couldn't do that. So I held it in. Always. He kept getting more violent but I held it in. One day I got my chains loose and I ran from his fortress. Now I think he let me. I'm so sorry..." She teared up again and Hiei wiped it off. "He wanted me to feel freedom so he could take it away. The worst punishment is that he killed Keiko because of me..." The tears kept coming and Hiei couldn't stop it. Rain drizzled outside and everyone fell silent.

"What does that rain do?" Kurama asked, making the correlation.

"It's called the Rain of Everlasting Life. All you have to do is drink it and you will be immortal. Like Dern is right now," Koenma answered.

"You mean he can't die?" Kuwabara asked.

"Technically, he is like a goddess now. Immortal like them and having their powers. He is quite dangerous. I'm very worried here."

Kimiko wiped the last of her tears and the rain stopped. Hiei sighed at her pain and looked at Koenma. "There must be some way to kill him."

"Maybe," Koenma said unsure.

Kuwabara sighed and got up. "I'm gonna go check on Urameshi."

Kuwabara entered the room slowly, seeing Yusuke sitting up on the bed. Tears were streaming down his face even though there was no emotion on it. "Urameshi?"

"What." He said flatly.

"Hey." Kuwabara walked over to him and sat on the bed. "It'll be alright."

"Alright? Alright?!" Yusuke turned in rage. "It'll never be alright! Keiko's dead! DEAD! And it's all because of that little whore! Did you know she was fucking Hiei?! I heard them the day Keiko - " He trailed off sobbing.

Kuwabara grabbed his shoulders. "Yusuke," he said his first name. "Listen to me. Keiko wouldn't want this. She wouldn't want you to carry on like this. She would want you to be happy!"

"How am I ever supposed to be happy?!" Yusuke cried.

"You have your friends! Like me! I'll always be here! You know I will! I'll never leave you!"

Yusuke looked up at his best friend and sniffed. "Y-yeah?"

"Yeah." Kuwabara looked into his eyes and wiped the tears off his cheeks. It was in that moment he realized how beautiful they were. Such a gorgeous chocolate brown. He stared at Yusuke and his heartbeat increased. He leaned in.

Their lips touched and Yusuke gasped. Kuwabara deepened the kiss and ran his hands down Yusuke's shoulders. Yusuke whimpered and Kuwabara pulled away. Yusuke's shocked face was enough to make Kuwabara shake himself. He pulled away and sniffed. He couldn't say anything. What could he say?

"Yukina..." Yusuke began, obviously asking what the hell?

"I love her but not like that." Kuwabara stated. "The more time I spent with her the more I realized that I loved her like a little sister. After that I thought about what I felt for other people..."

"Me." Yusuke said.

"Yeah," Kuwabara said slinking down.

Yusuke scoffed. "Pfft. I always knew you were gay," he said shrugging.

"What! You did not! I didn't even know! And I'm not gay, I just lo - " He caught himself and looked away.

Yusuke blinked and scooted towards him. "You lo?" He asked.

"I - I - " Kuwabara blushed.

"Kuwabara..."

"Shut up, Urameshi."

"Yeah...me too." Yusuke grabbed his head and faced it to his. He kissed Kuwabara roughly, making him moan. Yusuke pushed into the kiss to deepen it and groaned when Kuwabara ran his hands up his shirt. Somehow the flimsy thing fell away as well as his own, and Kuwabara graced his muscles vigorously. Their chests were pressed together as their mouths battled for dominance. Even in kissing there had to be a winner.

Yusuke's zipper was undone and he gasped as a large hand grasped around him. "I'll make you feel so much better than she ever did, Yusuke," Kuwabara proclaimed saying Yusuke's first name for the first time. He squeezed the ex detective's member making him gasp.

Before Yusuke could respond he felt Kuwabara's hot mouth on the tip of his dick. His head lolled back as Kuwabara sucked him, moaning on Yusuke's huge cock and wiggling his tongue inside the foreskin. "That tastes funny," Kuwabara giggled as he went back down. Yusuke grabbed his best friend on the back of the head and pushed him further down groaning as he felt the redhead's throat close around him.

"Oh, fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck," Yusuke praised as Kuwabara gagged and choked, the sounds fueling Yusuke's desires as he came so fucking hard, spewing hot sticky liquid down the other man's virgin throat.

Kuwabara released Yusuke and fell back as Yusuke's dick kept sputtering cum all over the place.

"Damn," Kuwabara laughed. "You were backed up. Guess Keiko never did this."

"Yeah," Yusuke panted. "She was a real bitch sometimes."

Kimiko lay in her bed sniffling letting some tears fall. It wasn't enough to make it rain so she wasn't worried. The bedroom door opened and Hiei stepped in. He closed the door and heard her sniff. He threw his cloak down and walked over to the bed. He slipped in beside her and wrapped his arms around her. She turned around in his grasp and looked in his eyes. "All I have brought is misery," her voice cracked.

"No." He said pulling some hair out of her face. "You haven't. You did nothing wrong. It was all Dern. You deserve happiness. I will make him pay."

She blinked up at him and sniffled so cute. He held her close and she sighed letting his warmth soak into her. "Hiei-sama?" She asked.

"Hn?"

"I have a feeling for you. I think it's love."

He flinched but not enough for her to catch. He kissed her forehead and heard her sigh. She snuggled into his chest and fell asleep smiling.

Hiei watched her sleep knowing he was playing with her heart. 'Great. Now what?' he thought.
