Chapter 5: The End? Or just another beginning?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Present~

Hiei slowly opened his eyes.

He was laying on a futon, neatly covered by a sheet.

He scanned the surroundings, it was a small room with Japanese decoration.

"Am I dead? Where am I? It is not right. I should have been sent straight to the lowest level of hell for eternal punishment. Not inside a nice room sleeping…" he thought.

He tried to get up but failed as his body was too weak to support him. He could only managed to sit up.

"K'so" he cursed beneath his breath.

The door slide open, a small figure appeared at the door, gasping.

"Oniisan!"

"Yukina?" Hiei said in shock, "Why are you here? Not that you are dead too!! Please, no …" he mourned. He felt totally defeated as he had failed to protect his sister from death.

"Oniisan…" said Yukina, gently hugged the sad fire demon, "No, I am not dead. You are not dead as well."

"Nani?" Hiei said softly, confused.

Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Koenma, Genkai and Mukuro appeared at the door, all with a smile, greeting the fire demon.

Hiei was even more confused, "What is going on?"

Kurama knelt beside Hiei and put an assuring hand on the fire demon's shoulder, "Welcome back, my friend." his green eyes filled with happiness, "Your death was out of Reikai's expectation, just like Yusuke's years ago, if not even more surprising. No one has expected that you will sacrifice yourself for another."

"Hn."

Kurama smiled and continued, "Your case is different from Yusuke's as it involved all the three worlds. Koenma managed to get the approval from the authorities of the three worlds…" he threw thankful glare towards Koenma, Genkai and Mukuro, "…to grant a new life to you."

"A new life?" asked the still confused fire demon.

Koenma stepped forward, "Yes, a new life. Your old `files' in the three worlds have been closed upon your death. You are all clean from now on."

Hiei looked at the people standing in front of him, digesting all the facts thrown at him. He turned to look at the koorime as she released him from her hug.

In her hands were two necklaces, the ones Hiei gave Kuwabara in their meeting. She took one of them, "This is the one our mother gave you." She put it around her brother's neck.

She took the other one, "This is mine from mother." She put it around her neck.

Hiei looked at his necklace. He sensed the peacefulness the tear gem had given him for all these years.

"This…" the little koorime opened her palm. Hiei turned and looked in shock. "…is your tear gem." The fire tear gem laid on Yukina's palm, attached to a necklace. Without a word, she put it around her neck. She held the two tear gems hanging on her neck, looking at them with satisfaction, "These will be my most precious treasure for the rest of my life."

"Yukina…" said the fire demon, holding back tears from his eyes, "… Thanks for accepting me."

She looked at her brother, a smile spread across her face, "And this…" she held out an exceptionally large and beautiful tear gem, almost twice the size of a normal tear gem. Again, it was attached to a necklace, "… is the tear I shed at the very moment I sensed your death."

Hiei took the necklace, also without a word, he put it around his neck. His crimson eyes met the identical ones of his twin, all four filled with emotions.

"My brother."

"My sister."

They hugged as if they would melt into one, just like at the very beginning, when they were the one cell hidden in their mother's womb.

The End

I hope you enjoyed the story. This is actually my very first fanfic. I hope it is not a mess. ^-^

Please review and comment on the storyline so that I can improve my writing skills in my next fic.

I have drafted another story following this one (also a Hiei-centred fic) with more actions. It is called "Dragon of Fire and Ice". I will post it asap. Stay tune!

BTW, I am looking for new ideas to write the next fic. I want to write something about Hiei or Killua (Hunter x Hunter). Please feel free to give me your idea. Thanks! ^-^
