HIEI
	They didn't notice,everyone except Kurama. I admit now that he is the only
friend I've had. I wonder what he'll think. Some part of me wishes he would
notice what is about to happen, but mostly i wish for peace of mind. I know I
have been quieter of late. Even the idiot could not anger me. Tonight thay
notice, all of them. It must seem truley odd to see me smile. I say goodbye to
them. I see Yukina in the garden. My twin then only bright spot left in my
dead soul. I tell her to "be happy" and goodbye. I leave a note and a gift on
each of their pillows.

KURAMA
	I know Hiei is depressed. I see that he doesn't want to fight. This troubles
me; but tonight i am scared. For tonight is the first time i ever saw Hiei
truely smile. He seem peaceful, sure.

Letter 1
YUKINA

Dear Yukina,
	I am proud you are not like me. I that the gods every day for having a sister
that is all the things i am not. I had my reason for not telling you who I am.
I had too many enemies. You are happy much more than I'll could ever be.
Goodbye Yukina be happy, for yourself, your wonder, your innocence, and your
beauty. Be happy because I will get the only thing I desire. Peace. Please
keep this tear gem I give you. I don't deserve you as a sister, I accept this.
Be happy.

						Your brother,
							the Forbidden Child

Letter 2
YUSUKE
Yusuke,
	You'd probally made a good thief.watch over Yukina for me. Keep my wrap i
won't need it.
							Hiei


Letter 3
Kuwabara
Morron,
	Keep my headband as a reminder. Keep Yukina safe, make her happy, because if
you hurt her I swear I'll come back from the grave to kill you.
							Hiei

YUKINA
	I am glad Kurama is here. I need his help. I feel it coming, my brother will
die. I tell Kurama this while he reads the letter. I hear my tear gems hit the
floor. But my heart stops when I look up. I see Kurama's eyes, his pain. He
drops the letter and runs out the door. I see Yusuke at the gate turn to
follow him. Kazama looks at me and rushes to my side. Next thing I hear is an
inhuman scream before I pass out.

KURAMA
	I run out of the temple. I feel numb. I see Yusuke running trying to keep up.
In my heart I know I am too late. I don't care. I have to try. My lungs burn,
but i refuse to stop. But I do. The scream is loud and tourtured. It is the
sound of a black dragon killing its master. I run faster. Faster. But I am not
fast enough. I can see the dragons now over the trees. They are fading, dying
like my heart. I refuse to believe. I don't listen to Yusuke's
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!". He thinks it is a fight, but he knows it is
not. I reach the dragon's clearing. I don't see Hiei. I feel a moment of hope.
But I see ashes. I don't feel him. I feel Yusulkes hand on my shoulder. He
can't console me. I want to cry. This can't be happening. Hiei is..was more
than a best friend he was a brother. Yusuke cradles my hand as he tries to
lead me back to the temple. I know he is silently crying. I don't know or care
if I am. I see but I don't feel. I have never felt so empty. I keep telling
myself he is dead, but i don't believe. He was always a surviver. We near the
temple, but i can't go in. I see Hiei smile in my mind. I run. I don't care
where.

KUWABARA
	I read the note; but i don't know her brother, I only feel her pain. Yusuke
walks in; I hand him the note. While he reads he begins to cry. This troubles
for I have never seen him cry. He hands my the note and says Hiei is dead. I
begin to ask him what this has to do with the note and why? But then I relise
I know.

YUSUKE
	I can't stop crying. I don't cry like this for Hiei. We were never close. I
cry for Yukina, but mostly I cry for Kurama. I can't stop seeing his eyes as
he looks at Hiei's ashes. I think he might kill himself too. I still hear his
ragged breath in my ears. I am knocking at Keiko's door. I see her face fall
as she sees my face. I feel her arms around me accepting my silence. She
understands i can't face her yet.

KURAMA
	I open the door and walk in. My mother sees me, and follows me to my room. I
shut the door. I can't face her; not yet. I am shaking. All I want to do in
lay down, but i see something. It is wrap in cloth. There is a letter
attatched. I open it.

Dear Kurama,
	Kurama I'm sorry to hurt you. I know I should have told you, but I couldn't.
You can tell Yukina I am her brother and I will love her forever. Don't feel
sad. I stole my life and the reward is peace. I want you to have my sword.
Stop crying stupid fox. You of all people should respect death. I know this is
selfish. Too bad. I have always been selfish haven't I? You are all but blood
to me. Funny that I can say this now in death. I think of you as a brother.
Please forgive me. Watch over Yukina. Be happy for my peace Kurama. Goodbye,
thank you.

							  brothers,
								Hiei

	I put the sword and letter in my draw. I lay down on my bed a sob. I can't
stop crying. Some where in the back of my mind i hear my mother come in. She
hugs me and asks me whats wrong, but I can't stop crying. Little Shuichi comes
in. I feel him stroke my back. They try to console me, but they can't stop the
pain. I try to stop crying. I can't.
