Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Friends ❯ Resolution ( Chapter 7 )
Friends- Chapter 7
Me: (Still being held tightly by Hiei) Uhh…Hiei.I- can't- breathe..
Hiei: OH! (letting go) Gomen.
Me: That's… okay. J-just read… the stuff while I… get my… breath back.
Hiei: Okay! (Glares at fan guys who are starting to approach again) Last chapter I entered Kiru's mind to try and find the energy connection, but unfortunately, I...ummm…forgot how to break it. So I had to venture into Kiru's death-trap of a mind to find out how. When I did, however, I found another memory linked to that one- one of the torture she went through to protect me from being found and killed. Must- kill- captors. AND FAN GUYS!!!! (Goes after the fan guys. again.)
Me: (finally caught breath) OOOOO-kaaaaay... Standard disclaimers as usual. Enjoy! (Looks at Hiei who is happily burning up fan guys.) I'd better stop him.
Hiei: HA HA HA! BURN! NO ONE SHALL TOUCH MY KIRU AND GET AWAY WITH IT! NO ONE! HA HA HA! (Takes out Kiru doll again) MINE!! (runs around with it and kills more fan guys)
Me: Eh! I'll do it later.

-A half hour after the connection was broken-
The room is silent. All eyes are on the figures in and around the bed in the room.
After Hiei had cut the energy thread, the Jagans had finally closed and Kiru had fallen into a deep sleep. Since then, Yukina had been concentrating on healing the serious injuries caused by the transfer that had been inflicted on Kiru. Hiei's wound had all but healed-all it was now, was a shallow gash that required little more than a bandaid to heal. But Kiru wasn't so lucky.
Kurama looks at his best friend- a deep frown is creasing his brow as he watches his sister heal Kiru's injuries. Kurama had noticed that after he had broken the link, a new burning anger was in Hiei's eyes. He wondered what had caused Hiei so much anger in that short time.
Yusuke and Kuwabara had gone to alert a very confused Koenma of the situation a little over ten minutes ago, and Mukuro was sitting next to him on the desk. She seemed to be deeply affected by the events of the past few hours. But he didn't think you could get more scrambled than he was. I lost Hiei to this Kiru- but I don't mind. He looked at Mukuro again. Is it because of her?
Let's see...Mukuro thinks as she tried to gather her senses, In the past few hours I've almost lost Hiei to a wound that he wouldn't have gotten if I was more considerate of his feelings, been out-classed by a mystery woman- not to mention by Hiei yesterday, and then lost Hiei to her- well lost his love at least. She looked up at Kurama, who seemed to be just as scrambled as she was. But why don't I mind so much...? 'Kurama?' she quietly asks. Is it because of him?
'Hmm?' he answers, startled out of a thought, 'What is it Mukuro?'
'May I- umm,' she stammers, 'speak to you, outside?'
'Uhh, sure Mukuro,' he gets up and turns to Hiei, 'Hiei, we're stepping out for a little, okay?'
'Hn,' comes the usual response from the brooding fire demon. Hiei didn't take his eyes off Kiru as he suggested that they turn in for the night. 'It's late. Get some rest.'
Kurama nods and leads Mukuro out and to her room.
'Thank you,' Mukuro says as she opens the door to her room. 'Care to come in?' I'm so nervous…I've never felt like this before. Is this what love really is?
Kurama nods and follows her. 'So,' he began, 'what do you want to talk about?' He thought that he knew, but he wanted to make sure. I'm so nervous. What is wrong with me?
Mukuro looks at her feet. 'Umm.' she started, 'I don't know how to say this but.'
Kurama walked up to her and pulled her into his arms. 'I love you,' he finished for her. Mukuro looks up and nods. They come closer together and kiss.
Finally, an end to the loneliness.

Yukina stood up and looked directly at her worried brother.
'How is she Yukina?' he asks quietly, but I could hear the concern in his voice. He hadn't taken his eyes off of her since he had broken off the energy link between them. His gaze kept falling to the scars on her arms, igniting a fiery rage in his eyes. What did he see in her mind that bothered him so much?
'She'll be okay, Oniisan,' Yukina assures him, coming forward to hug him, 'I was so scared that I would lose you.' Yukina releases him and walks back over to the bed, brushing loose strands of hair off of Kiru's brow. She shifts in her sleep and sighs. 'I owe her more than I can say.' She smiles as she feels a hand touch her shoulder. It's so nice to finally know that Hiei will be loved as much as he deserves.
'Arigato,' Hiei says, 'Imouto-chan.' He pulls Yukina up and hugs her.
'Nan demo nai, Onii-chan,' she says, happy tears falling from her eyes to the floor as brilliant tear gems, 'nan demo nai.'
--
'WHAAAT?' Koenma says, his pacifier dropping out of his mouth.
'Hiei has a girlfriend? AND she's hot?' Botan asks, equally shocked.
'Yes,' Yusuke says, irritated that neither Koenma nor Botan is listening to him, 'but more importantly, I wanted to tell you that everyone is going to be all right.'
'It's no use, Yusuke,' Kuwabara says, also irritated, 'they just don't care about anything other than the fact that the shrimp has a girlfriend.'
'But I must say,' Yusuke says, grinning lewdly, 'she is hot.'
Don't even think about it, Detective. Yusuke receives a mental message from a very pissed off Hiei.
'Yusuke!' Kuwabara says, 'I'm telling Keiko.' He runs past the still shocked Koenma and Botan to the nearest portal to the Ningenkai.
'Oi!' Yusuke says, panicking and chasing after him, 'wait for me!!!!'
Oh great, another slap to add to my collection!
--
'Yukina-chan,' Hiei says sometime later that night, 'Can I tell you something?'
Yukina looks at her twin, who is sitting in the window. He looks so sad and angry at life at that moment. 'What is it Onii-chan?' she asks concerned, 'What is wrong?'
Hiei walks over to the bed and pushes the sleeve of Kiru's borrowed, over- large shirt up, exposing the scarred forearm. 'Do you see these scars?' he asks quietly, sadly, his crimson eyes burning with a sad rage.
'H-hai, but,' she says, remembering her initial reaction to them, 'I can't imagine how she got them.'
'She got these because of me.'
Yukina gasps and says, 'No Hiei, you didn't-,' He did this to her!?
'NO!' he says, startling her a little. He calms down and pushes down the sleeve of Kiru's shirt. He looks at her face and smiles a little. 'Let me start at the beginning.'
--
'Just after I got my Jagan,' Hiei starts, sitting on one of the two chairs he had brought into the room, 'I went to a dojo where I learned to master the Jaganic powers.'
Yukina, sitting opposite him on the other side of the bed, tilts her head in question. 'Learned?'
Hiei nodded. 'Yes,' he smiles at her, 'It's just like learning any other technique- like the Jao Ensatsu techniques.' He continues, 'Anyway, upon my arrival there, I saw Kiru. She was trying to levitate one of the small plates that we practiced with.' He chuckles softly. 'Unfortunately, she wasn't too good at telekinesis at that time and she dropped the plate- right on my head.'
Yukina stifles a laugh. 'Oh Oniisan,' she says, 'You poor thing.'
'Yeah,' Hiei says, 'that's what I thought.' He looks affectionately at Kiru, 'But luckily, she's gotten a lot better. That was how we met. We were fast friends after that.'
'That's so nice, Oniisan.'
'It was sort of a given, considering that we shared everything. We shared the good times- like the parties- and the bad- like when we made sensei mad.' Hiei looks up at the ceiling, 'We couldn't sit for a week.' Hiei shakes his head, 'Good times, those were.'
'We'll have a lot more, Oniisan,' Yukina assures him, 'I promise.'
Hiei smiles at her. 'Arigato, Imouto-chan.'
Yukina nods and says, 'Please continue.'
'Well, everything was pretty uneventful for a while- not counting our relationship, that is. We quickly progressed from friendship to love. In fact, I was going to ask her to marry me on the last day of our training.' He takes something out of his pocket to show Yukina.
It is a small box. He hands it to her, and she opens it to find a ring made of one of his black tear gems. 'It's beautiful.'
Hiei gazes at his lover, 'She was so excited. We were going to start to plot our takeover of the Ningenkai.' Hiei's face loses its nostalgic look at this point and it turns into a dark look of pain, sadness, and anger.
Yukina is startled at this sudden change and reaches her hand up to the black tear gem on her necklace. 'Oniisan.'
'We had just completed the final technique,' he continues, now sounding ominous, 'this healing technique. We were about to go in for a small farewell dinner when we heard a sound from the front of the dojo. It was a group of demons who were bent on killing all the Jaganshis in the Makai. We barely escaped before the dojo exploded, killing our sensei and destroying what had been our home for the past nine months.' Hiei gets up and walks to the window, becoming silent.
Yukina walks over to him. 'Oniisan,' she tells him softly, putting a hand on his shoulder, 'It's alright- you can tell me what happened.'
She feels Hiei sigh. 'She was caught by one of their chain balls. She told me to run and promised we'd meet again.' He looks out the window at the full moon. 'She was captured and taken to a prison in the middle of a tundra.' He clenches his now smoking fists. 'She was tortured there because she wouldn't tell them who I was. Those bastards beat her and whipped her, but when she still wouldn't talk, they strapped her into a chair with her arms trapped on a table and cut her arms with a hot dagger for every question she wouldn't answer.'
Yukina gasps, tears in her eyes, 'That's why they look like burns.' Tears drip on the floor. 'They were instantly cauterized. How terrible.'
'I just learned that today,' Hiei says angrily, 'Damn it, I didn't even know if she survived until just a few months ago. I could have done something, maybe saved her from that pain.'
'Hiei…'a weak voice calls. Hiei and Yukina look towards the source of the voice, shocked to see Kiru looking at them from the bed. 'You don't need to feel bad. It wasn't your fault,' she says, trying to sit up.
Yukina and Hiei rush over, helping her to sit up and propping her up on the pillows. 'Kiru-san, you shouldn't be up yet.' Yukina scolds her softly.
'Oh,' Kiru says dismissively, 'I'll be fine, I'm tough.' She looks to her lover. 'Koi,' she says softly, patting the space on the bed next to her invitingly.
Hiei sits down next to her and looks into her eyes, 'How are you, Kiru- chan?' He reaches out to hold her hand.
She smiles and says, 'I'll be fine, Hiei-chan, don't worry.' She looks over towards Yukina. 'Yukina-chan,' she complements, 'you are very talented. Arigato, and please- don't call me "Kiru-san," she sniffs indignantly, 'makes me feel old.'
'Nan demo nai,' Yukina responds easily, 'Kiru-chan.'
A smile lights every face in the room, a new and strong bond has been formed.
Finally, a happy ending.
