Chapter 9: Tears of a Lover

"How will I survive tomorrow without you here?
Whose heart will guide me when all the answers disappear?
Is it too late? Are you too far gone to stay?
Best friends forever should never have to go away.
What will I do? You know I'm only half without you.
How will I make it through?
If only tears could bring you back to me.
If only love could find a way."
-If Only Tears Could Bring You Back, Midnight Sons

Kurama
I walk in the direction of Hiei's ki. He's been awfully depressed since we got here. Yukina snubs him anytime he's forced to be near her. So he doesn't eat or sleep with us. The only times he comes near the temple is when we're practicing. I'm afraid of what might happen on this mission. Or should I say, what he might do...

As I get closer, I sense Yukina's ki as well, very close to Hiei's. What the hell..? I start to run. Why is she near him? I stop about ten meters from them. Neither of them see me.

"I do forgive you," I hear Yukina say. She moves closer to him. He looks confused, but stays where he is. "As long as you die!" She lunges at him, and slashs with the dagger in her hand.

Hitting his Jagan.

I run to my lover and catch him as he cries out in pain and falls. Gently, I lower him to the ground. "Hiei!" Black blood runs from the ruined Jagan.

The fire demon shudders in my arms. "Kurama..?"

"I'm here, Hiei." I pull off my tunic and wrap it around his forehead, trying to stop the bleeding. But he's dying. I can feel his youki and lifeforce being drained through his destroyed Jagan. I look up at Yukina.

The Koorime throws the dagger to the ground. "I hear that destroying someone's Jagan gives tham a painful death," she sneers. "Good. You certainly deserve one." She looks away. "I just hope my brother will understand why I did this and forgive me."

Hiei gasps weakly in my arms. "I...do..." I look at him. He nods.

Yukina glares at him. "I wasn't talking to you!"

I clear my throat. "Yukina-san...you were." She directs her glare at me. I ignore it. "He is your brother."

She growls angrily. "I know that I don't have such a horrible brother!"

Hiei looks at me. "I...told you...she'd reject me..." A black tear gem falls to the ground."

Uh, oh...I killed him...and emotionally abused him...again

BTW-I got the idea for black blood from Broken Masks by Kat Abuchan. Arigato!!
