Hiei's Human Lover Part 21: Yusuke's Explanation and a Union Between Lovers
I arrived back at the mansion to see Kuwabara and Yukina on the couch. He looked up and smiled.
"Hey, Urameshi. Been a while. Where have ya been, anyway?"
"Just...doin' stuff for the old lady."
Yukina stood up and looked at me closely.
"Is she okay?"
"That power she transferred to me was what sustained her for so long. Without it, she feels as old as she looks. At least, that's what she told me."
"How much longer does she have?"
I turned to see Hiei and Rin with packed bags. Hiei raised an eyebrow as if he were asking me to answer his question.
"I honestly don't know. That's where I was during my absence: helping her out. I don't think she has that much time left, guys."
Rin gasped and touched my shoulder.
"Is she still up for visitors, Yusuke? Hiei and I were planning on leaving for the weekend, but I'm sure we can make a quick stop to her place."
"She didn't really say when I asked her, but I don't think she'll have a problem with it."
Hiei nodded and they both took off. Kurama walked in, a frown on his face.
"Koenma told me about Genkai, Yusuke."
"Figured he would."
"Any idea how much longer she has?"
Frustrated with the situation, I swiftly pinned Kurama to the wall and narrowed my eyes.
"I don't know, okay?! I'm sick and tired of everyone asking me that damn question! I don't know how much longer she has! All I know is that she hurts inside! She won't admit it out loud, but I can tell she's hurting! Every time I look at her, I...I see this tired look in her eyes, like she's about to give up!"
At my outburst, all was quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of Yukina's tears falling onto the ground. Kurama gently pushed me off of him and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Genkai is strong, sure, but even she has her limitations, Yusuke. Her body just decided perhaps her time will soon come. All we can do is enjoy what time we have left with her."
Kuwabara nodded and put me in a headlock.
"Yeah, Urameshi. Try not to let it get to ya. Just think of the good times ya had with her, and maybe it won't hurt so much."
I wiped my eyes and headed to my room, hoping to get some rest.
Rin's POV:
After visiting Genkai at her temple in the Human World, Hiei and I decided to remain there for our weekend alone. We managed to find an abandoned cabin in the woods not far from the temple that would give us some much needed privacy. After we unpacked, I lit a fire in the fireplace. I smiled as the heat warmed the slightly chilled cabin. Arms wrapped themselves around me and drew me to a toned body. I smirked and leaned back so my head rested on the body's chest.
"Be patient, Hiei."
"No, Rin. I've been patient long enough and I refuse to wait a moment longer."
He then turned me around and kissed me deeply, pinning me to the wall. I kissed him back and wrapped my arms around him. Soon, we ended up in the bedroom with our arms still wrapped around each other.
"Hiei, I feel a little guilty. I mean, Yusuke and Genkai-"
"Are going through a tough time, I know. Worrying about them won't help things get better, Rin. Don't forget, Genkai enjoyed our visit tonight. She said it was kind of us to 'take pity on an old lady' and pay her a visit. Let's just enjoy our weekend together and focus on Genkai when we go back."
I smiled and nodded, agreeing with Hiei 100%.
"You're right, Hiei. Right now, it's just you and me."
That night, we became mates. It was one of the most amazing moments of my entire life. I knew I loved Hiei, but now I felt he "completed me". Knowing I would be his forever was something I could definitely get used to.
That's a wrap for part 21. After a long absence, Yusuke tearfully vents his frustration in regards to Genkai and how he is unsure of how much time she has left. Meanwhile, Hiei and Rin begin their private weekend by mating. Part 22 begins in Hiei's POV as he and Rin wake up the morning after their mating. Also in part 22, Kuwabara and Kurama join Yusuke as they all pay a visit to Genkai at her temple. Stay tuned to see what happens
