Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Saying Good-Bye ❯ Saying Good-Bye ( Chapter 5 )

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.

Saying Good-bye

Chapter 5: Saying Good-bye

The next day they went to the concert Akira was performing in. Kurama, Hiei, Yuki, and Hi went to the front row and Kurama got ready his camcorder so he could video his daughter's performance. The twins kept bugging their sister what she was going to sing but she said it was a surprise and they kept asking till she growled at them and they ran in their rooms.

"Hey, guys!" said Yusuke sitting in a seat behind them. Kurama and Hiei turned around to greet their friends.

"Ohayo, Yusuke," said Kurama happily. "What are you doing here?"

"Genkai-chan is singing in this concert too. Plus Kuwabara didn't want to be left out when his niece gets to sing."

Kuwabara shrugged and smiled as the lights dimmed and the show started. Kurama recorded every singer, even Genkai-chan for Yusuke. Finally Akira walked on stage and stood in front of the microphone. She wore a black kimono with a red obi that made her raven red hair stand out. She smiled at her family before she started her performance.

"Before I start," she said, "I'd like to dedicate this song to my family, especially Shuichi-kaasan, who proved that sometimes saying good bye is hard, but with loved one's it's easier than anyone can realize. Ai shiteru, shusoku."

Through the back window of our '59 wagon

I watched my best friend Jamie slipping further away

I kept on waving till I couldn't see her

And through my tears I asked again why we couldn't stay

Mama whispered softly, time will ease your pain

Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And she said, how can I help you to say goodbye

It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry

Come let me hold you, and I will try

How can I help you to say goodbye

I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase

I held a picture of our wedding day

His hands were trembling, we both were crying

He kissed me gently, and then he quickly walked away

I called up Mama, she said, time will ease your pain

Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And she said, how can I help you to say goodbye

It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry

Come let me hold you, and I will try

How can I help you to say goodbye


Sitting with Mama, alone in her bedroom

She opened her eyes, and then squeezed my hand

She said, I have to go now, my time here is over

And with her final words she tried to help me understand

Mama whispered softly, time will ease your pain

Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And she said, how can I help you to say goodbye

It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry

Come let me hold you, and I will try

How can I help you to say goodbye

Kurama felts a tear fall down his cheek as Akira finished her song. Hiei reached over and squeezed Kurama hand and Kurama smiled at his mate. Everyone in the auditorium clapped hard as Akira bowed once and left. When it was over they went to pick her up and she hugged Kurama.

"How can I help you say good bye, Mommy," she asked.

"You just did," said Kurama and kissed her forehead.

***********

That night Hiei lazed in the bed with Kurama pillowed on his shoulder. He asked Kurama if he wanted another kid, and as always, Kurama told Hiei that the fire demon should decide. Hiei was still thinking. He didn't know if he did want another kid, really, but if it will make Kurama happy he could.

(Of course you could,) said a voice.

(Shiori?)

(Hai! I'm not telling you but I think you guess should get another kid. It's still you're to decide.)

(Why are you still here?)

(Looking after my son. Akira's right, it's not easier saying good bye. Just let him now I will always love you.)

(Hai, Shiori-kaasan.)

Shiori giggled before turning to Botan and going to her place in Reikai. Hiei felt them leave and kissed Kurama's hair before falling to sleep, felling his features change as sleep claimed him.

The song is call How Do I Help You TO Say Goodbye by Patty Loveless. It's why I named the story "Saying Good-bye" One last chapter then I'm done with the series. Hope you like this story.
