How the Heart Breaks

By: Duzen Broken DreamZ

Chapter16- At Home Part1

Last time: (Summarized version) Kurama just informed the girls that they were to be going home soon. The girls broke down at this while it had dawned on them that they were going home…

 

Now: It had been an hour worth of crying and the sobbing noises from the girls had finally subdued.

Keiko had Yusuke holding her in his lap in her bed. Her head was on Yusuke's shoulder, buried in the depths of the crook of his neck. She had fallen asleep, her chest rising and falling slowly, and her heart beat was as steady as a beating drum.

Yusuke watched Keiko sleep, his mind void of thought, seemed to cease of allowing any small amount of thought to process. The only thing that was actually processing in his mind was the small warm breaths that Keiko took that tickled his neck.

 

Hiei was with Botan, who was too, asleep. She had her head in his lap, her beautiful long silky blue hair, flowing like streams, all over his outstretched legs. Her beautiful lavender orbs hidden beneath her eyelids, and her eyelids hidden beneath her messy blue bangs. Absentmindedly, Hiei was stroking her pale cheek. Bruises have healed, but her mental and emotional stability have been broken, and barriers built, creating an illusionary world full of harmful things that are made out to hurt her.

Unlike Yusuke, Hiei was thinking. His thoughts, for once, were disorganized, but at the same time, collected. He was thinking about his father, Dean, and his cousins Alex and Nikki. Then he was thinking about the girls and Botan. He desperately wanted Botan to smile and laugh, and he wanted his sister to have the same glowing essence that she used to carry about with the naivety that would hitch about in her eyes, questions, and laughs. Although he knew at some point they, the girls, would recover, things never would be the same, for they would still contain trapped fears.

 

Kuwabara was holding a sleeping Yukina, while she lay next to him. Although Kuwabara had his eyes closed, he was awake. Yukina lay tucked in to blankets, and had her face buried into Kuwabara's chest. She was curled into him, laying at ease like that. Her breaths were a little bit shallow, or as it seemed. They were very soft, making her chest rise quickly, but when her breaths came out, it was slow, as if whatever she was breathing on would break if she went any quicker.

 

Sapphire was on the verge of sleep. Her eyelids were getting heavier with every breath she took. Kurama was sitting in her bed, holding her bridal style. As another breath came out, her head lolled to the side, gently hitting his muscular, clothed chest. Her eyes were hidden beneath eyelids, and she was finally asleep.

“Ahem.” Kurama acted like he was clearing his throat. The guys looked at him and nodded. Before, Hiei was using his jagan and had said that after the girls went to sleep, they should start to head home. This way they could leave without the girls crying, kicking, and screaming. Now that Sapphire was finally asleep, they could take their leave.

 

As they stepped out of the medical room, Koenma popped up. “Now boys, be careful and quiet when you are on your way home.” With that Koenma left. The guys just shrugged with indifference as they left the place and walked into a portal that Koenma had made for them.

When they stepped out of the portal, they were in their home. Yukina stirred in Kuwabara's arms. All the guys froze, praying to Kami that Yukina didn't wake. If she did, she would cry, and the others would awake and do the same. That wouldn't be good. Fortunately, thanking the Kami helped, and Yukina did not wake. Unfortunately, Keiko woke up. Yusuke made a face and froze; this caused the guys' eyes to pop out of their sockets. “Yusuke, `m cold…” Keiko trailed off and went back to sleep. An audible sigh came from Yusuke. That was too close for comfort.

 

Well, the girls are home. What happens next? Just wait for another lifetime to find out…
