4As Hiei walked down the hall, bracing himself, he heard Riku say, "Come here you broad and cry!"
"No!" she pleaded, "What did you do to Hiei?"
He heard a slap as Riku shouted, "I put him in a room I designed for you never to escape but since he's related to you-what the?!" He stared at Hiei as he rounded the corner.
"Your life is over," Hiei said as he jumped up and stood next to Yukina. Riku pulled out a gun from his suit pocket but Hiei cut Yukina free before he could fire it at them.
She said, "Hiei your arm, you're burned."
"Don't worry about that," he said.
"We can't leave, there are traps everywhere," she warned. Hiei jumped up and cut the gun Riku had in his hands into pieces.
Hiei asked, "Any last words?"
"Don't kill him!" Yukina pleaded, "Please, Hiei, I don't want to see anymore death. Never again!" She shook her head and started to cry. Not again, he thought as he lowered his sword.
Riku said, "Those tears!"
"Don't move," Hiei said as he walked back over to her. He grabbed her hands and said, "You don't have to cry, I won't kill him. I promise." He sheathed his sword.
She hugged him and said, "Thanks so much Hiei. Now we can try to get out of here, right? I never want to see this place again." Strings that were under Hiei's feet suddenly pulled tight and tangled him up as he hit the ground.
Riku stood up and pulled out another gun. "Don't think this is the end of me!" He aimed it at Hiei.
"No!" Yukina shouted as she kneeled in front of him as a round went off. It shot her straight through the heart.
"Yukina!" Hiei shouted as she fell slowly backwards into his arms, "No," he whispered as he saw the light disappear from her eyes. Riku started laughing histerically and the fog from before reappeared.
"Did it happen?" Yukina asked as she sat over Hiei's sleeping body in Genkai's living room, "Kurama?"
"Yes," he said, "I'm sure he's seeing the hallucination you wanted right now. Look." They looked on as Hiei slowly spilled a few tears that turned into light purple hiruseki stones.
"He really is my brother," Yukina whispered, "is he going to wake up soon?"
Kurama said, "He will, and he'll be quite confused when he does." Just then Hiei's eyes started to open and he looked at Yukina and Kurama sitting beside him.
"What?" he asked, "You're alive? Where am I?" He sat up and looked around. "That fog."
Kurama explained, "Yukina wanted to do to her a favor Hiei, I'm sorry. I made you hallucinate with this." He pulled out a small plant and showed him.
Hiei asked, "You tricked me?"
"It was all me," Yukina confessed, "I just wanted you to finally admit you're my brother, Hiei. I'm so sick of waiting. All of these years, I've known the truth. It's why I gave you my necklace and then when you tried to give it back I tried to tell you I knew the truth. How long have you known Hiei!"
Kurama stood up and said, "I'll leave you two alone." He stepped outside and closed the door behind himself.
"Stop talking such nonsense," Hiei said as he collected his jacket, "so you had me dream that I let you die?"
"Yes," she said, "I just wanted to hear the truth. Look." She pulled up a hiruseki stone he cried. "This proves it. It's not mine you know."
"You don't want me," he said, looking away from her, "you don't want me as a brother. Trust me. Since you figured out the truth, there's no reason for me to stay around." He stood up but fell to his feet.
Yukina said, "Kurama said you'll be too dizzy to walk for a while. Here, I'll take care of you like a good little sister."
Maybe, Hiei thought to himself as he sat back down, I should have told her the truth sooner. He saw how she looked at him and realized his mistake, then smiled back at her.
The End
