Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;

Whole misadventured piteous overthrows

Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,

And the continuance of their parents' rage,

Which, but their children's end, nought could remove

Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare

Epilogue

Youko groaned as he held his wounded side. In all the years he's been alive he'd never been caught in a heist and now he'd been shot! Well, at least they didn't officially catch him. If they had they would be walking away with his corpse in tow. But he didn't want to be stuffed and placed on a mantel. The game wasn't over, the game of life.

But where can he go to heal enough to fight? It would take along time for him to heal, ten ningens years to be exact. Feh, ningens. No demon would go to Ningenkai because those worthless creatures are nothing but half best. Who would like thethem?

Wait, who would go to Ningenkai? That's it! He would go to Ningenkai and heal! He'd be there and back to the Makai before anyone knew he was gone. He concentrated in his energy changing from his body to spirit form, leaving any evidence of his passing. He wanted a little mystery in his disappearance. It took a lot of his energy but he managed to make spirit form and drift to Ningenkai.

~My worn-out fingertips

Are drenched in the morning sunlight

It seems like Spring is waking

Hold close the memories~

~I'm not eager to stop

As long as our meetings aren't too old

It glitters

It's a treasure.~

Now he needed to find someone who can bear him and he can heal. He was too weak to for a human disguise or to possess a body, so he only had one option; enter an embryo of a pregnant woman. But not just any woman. He was too powerful for a normal human to bear him. He had to find one with a sixth sense, human or not. Woman like that were hard to find.

Flying over the park he had a sudden feeling. The kind that someone powerful is near by. Looking down he saw a man and woman walk down the board walk, laughing and the woman had a hand over her slightly round stomach. She has Spirit Awareness, and was pregnant! Is that a lucky break or what?

~ Now our whole

Season is illuminated

Also don't

Forget the time

We spent all day

Watching the same sea.~

~ I dream of

Gentle tears that

Seem like water.

Also, how can I tell

When I'm unable to speak?~

Drifting down he tried to enter the embryo but was shoved away.

[What the . . .]

(This one's taken!) said a voice and Youko assumed it was the infant's.

[I need sanctuary,] he said. [I am dying.]

(You are?) Youko was surprised by the concerned tone of the voice. No one was ever concerned for him.

[Yes,] he said. [I need to heal. Please, I need help.]

The spirit hovered above the woman and looked at Youko with amusement. It was a boy, with long red hair, like blood, and large eyes as green as the grass. For some reason Youko felt he knew the spirit from some where.

(You can share my body), said the spirit holding out his hand to Youko. (Is that okay?)

Youko nodded and took the spirit's hand.

[I'm Kurama.]

The spirit giggles. (My name is . . .)

9 months later

"I'll name you Shuichi," said Shiori as she held her first born his crop of hair shone red when the light shone on it and she knew he would have emerald colored eyes. And some how she sensed he was going to have a grand adventure in the future.

~ Resurrecting our love

I'm afraid I'll be hurt

Only make the feelings

Stand still.~

~ Bask in the sunlight

It's the beginning of our season

Also don't

Forget the time

We spent all day

In the same roaring wind~

14 years later

Shuichi looked at the small demon that rested on his bed. Bandages wrapped around the small form as the demon slept. Black spiky hair rested on his white pillow and almond shaped eyes closed to look like a child-like feature. And Shuichi could tell the demon was a fire/ice mix. How that happened he couldn't explain.

Shuichi hadn't had contact with the Makai in over ten years, no demon came to Ningenkai, but yet here one was, torn, burnt, scratched and bloodied. The guy was lucky Shuichi found him or he wouldn't have lasted long.

Shuichi's head snapped up when he heard a groan coming from the figure on his bed. Damn, he was getting soft! The demon was waking up! He looked up to find his guest had sat up and was rubbing his aching head.

"I have some ginger for that," he said and the demon's head snapped to look at him. Shuichi saw his guest had fiery red eyes like he'd never seen before. And something about this demon captivated him.

~I can't sleep at night anymore

Before walking

All morning

Because of love~

"Who are you," asked the demon. "How did I get here?"

"I found you in my back yard," said Shuichi. "I thought it better to heal you then let whatever demon hunter that was after you find you and hang you on his mantel."

"I didn't need your help!" growled the demon as he tossed the bandages from his body, Shuichi didn't stop him. The demon felt his chest to see if they had healed. Which they did.

"Makai herbs,"he said and Shuichi nodded.

"Can I have your name before you leave," asked Shuichi as the demon gathered his things.

"My name is Hiei," he said. "I am in dept to you. Tell me your name and I shall not forget."

"Of course," said Shuichi. "My name is . . ."

~Bask in the sunlight

In the same roaring wind ~

Present Day

"Kurama," said Hiei in the door way of his mate's work room. "Are you done yet?"

Kurama smiled at Hiei.

"I'm almost done, Hiei," he said. "I just have to put in the closing sentence."

Hiei walked up and grabbed Kurama's pen before the fox could finish his work.

"Hiei," exclaimed Kurama and tried to retrieve his pen, but the fire Koorime toyed with him and kept it out of reach. "Give it back!"

"You've been working too hard," said Hiei. "I'll finish it up."

"You don't know what I want to write."

"I have a pretty good idea." And Hiei sat on the chair that Kurama vacated and wrote the last few words. Compared to Kurama's writing, Hiei's wasn't the best but it was legible.

~Now our whole

Season is illuminated

Also don't

Forget the time

We spent all day

Watching the same sea.~

"What's it called," asked Hiei when he was done.

"I told you, Hiei," said Kurama resting his chin on his love's shoulder. "why do you insist I keep repeating myself?"

"I like to hear you say it," turning his head and Kissed Kurama's jaw. Kurama moaned at the butterfly kiss and nodded.

"It's called "Heaven or Hell"," he said, "and like every story, this one is finished."

And he closed the manuscript as he started to kiss down Hiei's neck. Hiei moaned and they left for bed.

Like the words that Hiei wrote and the words Kurama said, every story has an end, but also a beginning. Through their love started long ago the story of their lives was just beginning. And so to repeat what Hiei wrote this story will close this chapter of their lives.

~Don't forget

To tie you and me together

It's true love for you . . . ~

Owari

The song was called "Our Seasons" sung by Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei. I thought it fit the story. Now let's have a moment of silence to say good bye to our story. Please be quiet. [silence] Thank you, and thank you for reading. Sayonara for now!
