long, Sakura found herself alone, deep in the woods. She halted, leaning back against a tree as a deluge of memories from her past life flooded her mind. One in particular kept surfacing to the forefront though- Hiei and Kurama's matingher own mating They had created a bond that nothing- not even death- could break.
closed her eyes against the sudden pain ripping through her heart. Despite everything Hiei had done for her, done for Kurama, she had lashed out at him. She remembered the look in his eyes when she had refused him, the hurt darkening the soft crimson to garnet. She had hurt him- all because she didn't really know who she was anymore. All because she felt empty inside. She couldn't help but think that maybe, with him, she could feel complete.
laughed to herself cynically, Or maybe then I'll at least know what the hell is going on
night was dark; only the sounds the creatures of the forest made as they moved and called made their presence known. Looking up, she saw that the moon and the stars were cloaked in a heavy blanket of miasma; their light choked by their the black clouds. Just like the night Kurama died
head snapped down as shivers ran down her spine. The sound of a twig snapping to her right put her on guard. Sakura reached down, selecting a single blade of grass and growing it into a weapona long, sharp rapier. Green eyes flashed gold- no longer was the human Sakura in charge. She freely allowed her former self to take over. Shuichi- or rather Kurama turned to face six demons, ready for a fight.
through the air with the grace of a practiced dancer; spinning and slicing off limbs and heads; the fighter took down the demons one after another. Landing elegantly on a knee, Kurama/Sakura slowly stood, watching the youkai fall into pieces in front of him.
satisfied smirk gracing the creature's face faded as the sound of steel sliding from a sheathe came from behind. Turning, both beings were shocked to see the muted light flash off a familiar katana.
stared at them with intense crimson eyes. In those familiar evergreen eyes he caught glimpses of both Sakura and his Kurama. It seemed that both wills were in charge of the body. But Sakura would have had to accept and embrace her former self for that to happen. The compact youkai knew what he had to do. Brandishing his katana, Hiei prepared to test his theory.
fight seemed more like a dance- combatants moving almost as one, moves flowing fluidly, dodges perfectly timed. It was a contest of sheer skill. Soon the difference in mastery became apparent and the greater swordsman stepped back, victorious. Sheathing his sword, Hiei knelt, embracing the fallen redhead.
into the ruby eyes, Sakura slowly regained total control. Tears streaming down her face, she melted into the demon's embrace, wrapping her arms around his middle. "Help meHiei," she sobbed softly, "please"
"I swore to you once," he said, looking into the depthless jade of her eyes, "I would never let you be in harm's way." Hiei cradled her taller figure in his strong embrace, "I never go back on my word."
Years Later-
sat on the soft grass, looking at her new home in the Makai.
some time working with her past selves and much practice, she had become accustom to fighting with plants. Hiei had helped her to adjust to the idea of being a youkai, as well as getting her ready to make the move to the demon world.
smiled; she had come to love her husband over the past few years. Now she understood why Kurama had done what he did. She couldn't imagine being without her Hiei. Her hands moved to rest on her slightly rounded stomach. They were expecting their first child soon. Sakura was awed at the life growing inside her; a new being created from a love that spanned lifetimes, as well as a special love that was her own.
closed her eyes, lying down on the sweet-smelling greenery. She couldn't wait for Hiei to return to her from his job in Mukuro's realms. ~THe end~
