Note: A CHARACTER IS GENDER-SWAPPED IN THIS STORY.
KAGUYA KUWABARA
Now, imagine Kazuma Kuwabara having been born as a girl, but his life as a female resembled the life we already know it to be in the series.
COULD THIS BE A HIEI X KUWABARA ROMANCE STORY?
We think it's a perfect recipe for one.
The story picks up where Yoshihiro Togashi left off at the end of Volume 19 in the manga.
Synopsis:
After the dangerous cult members tried to destroy the world, Team Urameshi tries to moves onto better things... Meanwhile, Kuwabara and Hiei come to a better understanding of each other.

"How can I decide what's right?
When you're clouding up my mind
I can't win your losing fight
All the time
Nor could I ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own
(I'm screaming, I love you so)
On my own
(But my thoughts you can't decode)
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well?
Yeah, how did we get here?
Well, I think I know
Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
Yeah, yeah
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well? Yeah
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
I think I know
I think I know
There is something I see in you
It might kill me, I want it to be true..."

Kaguya stared off, staring out the window as she sipped upon a cup of hot cocoa. It was now nearing nightfall, the sun now setting in the distance as she reflected about her day.
Having spent time with Botan and Yukina for lunch was great, just as getting to see what Yusuke was up to as of late.
Thinking about Urameshi, Yusuke had mentioned about buying an engagement ring for Keiko Yukimura, his long time girlfriend. Despite his young age, he had already gathered up enough cash from by working at his own personal noodle stand alone to afford a nice ring and a fairly nice sounding honeymoon at Hawaii or some other nice place. But then Keiko came around and immediately had countered the claim of him paying for anything, stating that her parents had agreed to pay for most of the wedding plus their honeymoon.
"That's typical." Kaguya commented, speaking to no one in particular but herself. "Why should I be surprised?"
She continued to watch the sun setting in the distance from within her favorite corner in the café.
"This life... Enlighten this... Light this lifeless life..." She spoke mindlessly to the sun, holding onto a silent hope that she knew was futile. "Life is the maiden coming down on the stair, whilst death awaits for her like a stranger... Death may not be so much of a stranger to me... Most everyone seems to evade me like I were the plague, that is my friends at least, whilst most everyone else wants me to go away and burn me at the stake... I think my mind has drawn itself to a conclusion. ...I don't have any real friends... I'm lonely. Am I really that bad of a menace? ...Yep."
Once finished with her refreshment, Kaguya had decided to get up from out of her seat and go for a long stroll, and so she set off, leaving behind a tip for the waiter before walking out the door.

DAICHI
Original / Romaji Lyrics English Translation
...
"(Yuku ate nado nai mayonaka yobidashita no wa
Koi wo shite 'ru ano ko ja naku omae wo datta yo
Sonna hen na yoru mo tama ni wa ii ja nee ka to
Nani mo iwazu WOW Arukidashita)
In the dead of the night I would come calling
Not that girl I love, it's you
Those nights might seem strange, but hey, isn't it nice, for a change?
Without saying another word, I start walking
(Wakaranai itsu mo ore-tachi
Sakaratte toomawari bakari)
I don't know why, but we're always coming from different directions
We're always taking the long route
(Kakko warui yatsu sa Demo ichido datte uso wa tsuichai nai hazu sa
Kakko tsukete bakari demo suppadaka no kono kokoro wa kizudarake sa)
I'm anything but cool, but I never lie, that's for sure
I'm always trying hard to be cool, but then for all my honesty, I always end up being hurt
(Kanau hazu mo nai yume dake oikakete 'ru
Bakayarou sa Ore-tachi nara dou ni mo naranee
Da kedo itsu ka kitto deau hazu no desutinii
Tamashii kogashi WOW naguritsukeru)
We're always chasing dreams that were never meant to be
It's just crazy, but we can't help it
But I'm sure we will discover and fulfill our destinies someday
Our souls are on fire
(Mayowanai itsu mo ore-tachi
Korogatte massugu ni susumu)
We stumble every now and so often
We single-mindedly rise again and keep moving on
(Mono-wakari ga warui kedo shinji-tsuzuketakute zutto damatte 'ru
Kuchi nanka dasanai kedo yuujou nante iu serifu terekusai ze)
I may be a bit slow, but I just keep silent, and let trust lead the way
I won't dare say it, this may sound awkward, but that's friendship
(Kakko warui yatsu sa Demo ichido datte uso wa tsuichai nai hazu sa
Kakko tsukete bakari demo suppadaka no kono kokoro wa kizudarake sa)
I'm anything but cool, but I never lie, that's for sure
I'm always trying hard to be cool, but then for all my honesty, I always end up being hurt
(Mono-wakari ga warui kedo shinji-tsuzuketakute zutto damatte 'ru
Yuujou nante iu serifu terekusai ze)
I may be a bit slow, but I just keep silent, and let our trust do the talking
I won't dare say it, this may be sound awkward, but that's friendship"

So, Kaguya's feet had lead herself all the way to Genkai's temple.
When she had arrived there, she began inspecting the place and beheld a campfire on the property and sitting nearby it a familiar figure.
As though entranced, she walked over to be near him.
Hiei looked up at her, but didn't move from the spot where he sat upon.
Kaguya sat down beside him, blushing brightly when looking in his direction.
Both felt rather awkward, her more so rather than he himself.
"I came here to do some training." Kaguya told him. "Do you know whether or not if Genkai's old dojo equipment is still around?"
Hiei narrowed his eyes a bit as his brow knitted. "Go have a look for yourself." He sounded rather ornery, himself being defensive.
Kaguya inhaled deeply and released a forlorn sigh and then began getting up. "I'll see you later, Hiei."
Once she stood up, she glanced back at him and then began walking away.
And so, she journeyed into the back of the shrine and found the dojo but discovered that it was locked when she tried pushing open the doors. To unlock the monolithic sized doors, she needed the key and fortunately she remembered that Urameshi had given her a spare, herself having acquired it from him earlier today during lunch time.
She retrieved the keys that hanged around her neck upon a gym necklace that she had hidden under her clothes and used all three of the major larger sized keys to unlock those double doors and, at last, she then pushed in those doors and finally stepped inside.
Once inside, she stripped off her jacket and removed her shoes and then looked around the empty place, whilst noting the the air to be unsurprisingly dank and stuffy, before she began the task of setting the place up.
She began whistling to herself as she waltzed around the place, ambling about as she wandered after having ignited the torch lights, searching for where Genkai locked up her equipment.
As she did so, out of her own spontaneity, she improvised a lyric from the top of her mind or rather from her own heart, singing out loud randomly; "Carry my soul...into the night... May the stars light my way... As darkness takes the day... Enlighten this, light this lifeless life... May the pains of the day rise and lift away... May all my cares be taken away... Make all my tears fade away... This painful life is far too great... Tell the ones, the ones I love... That I live without regret... As my soul crosses on... I will never forget... I will never forget..."
As she sang, Hiei stood nearby the entrance of the dojo, eves dropping, listening to her whistle, hum, and sing whilst she was inside the dojo itself, singing to herself alone.
"May the darkness consume my soul, may my feelings instead turn cold... Is it too much to ask for to be loved? Then I know that I am alone. I feel abandoned like this place. This place where I know I don't belong... How can I live on? When I know that I don't belong-"
"HEY!" Hiei interrupted.
Kaguya gasped and immediately stiffened, herself frozen, consumed by his own response.
Himself seemed rather wary.
"You shouldn't be singing out loud, especially when alone! Someone could be listening and think that you're a lunatic!"
Kaguya immediately turned and glared at him. "Lunatic!? Who are you calling a lunatic!?"
"You of course." Hiei responded coolly, his intense gaze darkening as he eyed her more possessively.
Kaguya felt her body temperature immediately rise as felt herself suddenly become aroused by him. She gulped. Her breath hitched in her throat before becoming thick and heavy.
The fire apparition studied her up and down and all before he smirked and pushed the doors closed, locking them up real tight, making use of the door's extra attachments used for security, including the extra barricades.
Hiei walked towards her, himself untying his belt as he drew nearer before pulling off his shirt and exposing his upper torso to her.
In response, the ginger immediately gave in to her own urges, herself pulling down her black yoga pants before letting her panties drop and pool around her feet on the floor. Her own shirt and bra came off next afterward.
Burning with an itching desire, the fire apparition then swiftly joined her, sweeping her off her feet by scooping her up possessively by gripping her by her rear whilst laying her down on the floor with him on top of her, his lips claiming hers out of searing passion.
