Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Saying Good-Bye ❯ Death ( Chapter 2 )

This one isn't like my other two stories in my Identity Crisis series. I just felt I had to write it for some reason. This is also my Mother's Day story so I hope you like it.

Declaimers: I only own the kids. They rest belong to the people who created them.

Warning: Yaoi and a lot of Hiei OOC!

Saying Good-bye

Chapter 2: Death

Kurama was frantically driving down the highway faster than he had ever done in his life. Hiei, not wanting Kurama to kill them and the kids, made the kitsune switch drivers with him and Hiei drove. Tears fell down Kurama's eyes as his three children tried to comfort him and tell him that Shiori would be okay. Hiei drove into the parking lot and they filed out to run into the hospital and went to the head clerk.

"Hatanaka Shiori, please," said Kurama and the clerk looked at her clipboard.

"Room 316. Minamino Shuichi, right?" Kurama nodded. "Doctor Gensai is waiting for you in there."

Kurama nodded and ran into the room. Shiori was lying on the hospital bed with monitors hooked up to her and an IV needle in her elbow. It hurt Kurama to see his Kaasan like this. He always thought that she was stronger than him because she always seems to love him no matter what he did or who he was. He felt guilty for all the years he had to lie to her to protect her and now that she knew of his past she still accepted him, Hiei, and the children. She was his reason for staying in Ningenkai after the way to Makai had been brought down and he could stay there for the rest of his youko life like he had planned, the reason he almost gave his life to the Mirror of Utter Dark, for him fighting with Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei. And now she was lying there hurt and he couldn't do a thing.

"Minamino-kun," said Doctor Gensai and Kurama turned to him.

"How is she," he asked and the doctor looked gravely at him.

"I'm sorry. We did everything we could but there was really nothing we could do."

"How did this happen?"

"She was working in her office when a worker called the ambulance. I'm afraid it was from work stress. I'm sorry."

Doctor Gensai left the room as the family cried with the exception of Hiei. He just looked sadly at the women on the bed. Over the past sixteen years he had grown fond of the ningen woman his husband call "mother" and didn't wish for her to die, because not only will Kurama and his children be sad, but so will he. He doesn't like seeing any of his family members cry, especially Kurama. Seeing the tears fall down his delicate face tears Hiei's heart and makes the fire demon wish he could kill whatever made his fox cry. But this time, the one making Kurama cry is dieing and they couldn't do anything. Koenma said that if they interfere with the ningens then they would be locked up till eternity. Hiei shifted his gaze to his mate who held Shiori's hand.

"Okaasan, can you hear me?"

"Shuichi, is that you?" asked Shiori and slowly opened her eyes. Kurama smiled and gently moved a strand of grey hair away from her eyes.

"Hai, kaasan, it's me. And I brought Hiei and the kids. They wanted to see you too."

"Oh, I see them. Hello, misuko, how are you?"

"Just fine, obaasan," said the three kits standing around the bed.

"And how are you, Hiei-san? Still taking care of my son?"

"Hn, of course. That fox needs someone to watch his back."

"Hiei," said Kurama with a blushing face as everyone laughed, Hiei chuckled a little. Everyone stopped laughing when Shiori starting coughing hard.

"Okaasan," yelled Kurama. "You want me to get you some thing to drink? Or maybe you're hungry?"

"Shuichi, you worry too much," said Shiori when she could speak again. "Stop worrying."

"I'll miss you, mother, I don't want you to go."

"I don't want to go either, but I'll always be with you."

"It's not the same."

"As long as you love me, I'll be there. Good-bye, my son." And Shiori closed her eyes. Kurama clutched his mother's hand and cried. Around him his son and daughters cried too, tear gems littering the floor. Hiei hung his head and said a Makai prayer for her.

"Sayonara, Okaasan."
