Chapter Twelve: Deadly Illusion
Akabe smirked. "Even if you manage to kill me fire baby, I will still walk away victorious."
Hiei glared at her and removed his cloak, his hand resting on his katana. "You always were over confident."
The fire demon slowly removed his katana from its sheath. Tossing the sheath aside, he moved into a defensive stance and waited for the psychic to make her move. Extending her right arm, Akabe channeled her energy into summoning some sort of weapon. As the weapon solidified, Hiei's eye widened in realization.
"Sakato's dual-bladed spear," he uttered slightly surprised.
"Yes," she confirmed. "I've saved it all these years just for you."
His eyes narrowed into a rather nasty glare at the psychic. "I feel so honored," he said sarcastically.
The two stood silently for some time waiting for the right moment to strike. Both knew the other's fighting style quite well, but some time had passed since they last saw one another. Enough time to master new techniques.
'I must be cautious,' Akabe thought. 'I know he's gotten stronger, but something is being suppressed. I can't quite sense the extent of his power.'
A gently breeze blew past them and Hiei chose to strike first. He charged at her and swung hi katana aiming for her arm. The psychic blocked the attack with one end of the blade. She smirked as the metal clashed together.
"This is going to be easy," she chuckled.
"Hiei watch out!" Yuusuke cried out to his friend.
The fire demon gasped and jumped back in time to miss Akabe's second attack. She had swung the spear's other end around. The top of Hiei's ward's split open, revealing the tops of his dragon tattoo. Akabe turned to look at Yuusuke and the others.
Raising her left hand she yelled, "You are to remain silent!"
Suddenly, the half demon's throat began to glow a light purple. Collapsing to his knees he grabbed his throat trying to stop the pain.
"Yuusuke!" Kurama yelled as he and Kuwabara knelt down to help him.
The purple light turned blue and seemed to take a solid form. Seconds later the blue ball shot out from the former detective's mouth. He released his hold on his throat and began coughing roughly. The ball floated over to Akabe who instantly placed it inside her top. Koenma ran over to his love to check on him. Kurama helped his friend to his feet.
"Are you alright?" the demi-god asked. Yuusuke opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. The brunette's gaze moved to glare at the psychic. "What did you do to him?"
"I took his voice," she replied, smirking once again. "I should have done it some time ago. He knows too much and I didn't want him to spoil my fun. Don't worry; I'll give it back when we're done here."
Akabe returned her attention to Hiei just in time to see his attack. She used the spear to block, but her stance was easily broken. The katana pierced her left shoulder virtually disabling it. The psychic quickly twirled the spear and swung at the fire demon. He easily dodged the attack. She clutched her left shoulder with her left hand and used her energy to close up the wound.
"Impressive," she panted out. 'He draws his strength from his friends,' she thought. 'I'd best leave them be for now.'
"Your fight is with me!" Hiei yelled as he pointed his katana at her.
"Forgive me," she replied. "I got a little distracted."
Hiei charged at her once more and the psychic had a hard time blocking and keeping up with his attacks.
'He's much faster than from before,' she noted mentally as she blocked his punch. 'I almost have no choice, but to use that if I want to walk away from here alive.'
Just as Hiei was about to land another solid blow, Akabe blasted him back telekinetically. The fire demon quickly climbed to his feet panting heavily. She twirled the spear artfully a bit before she thrust it into the ground in front of her. Letting go of it, her hands began creating some complex symbols as she chanted softly.
"What's she doing?" Kuwabara asked.
"I'm not sure," Kurama answered slowly.
Yuusuke opened his mouth to speak only to remember he couldn't. She had revealed her entire plan to him, but he was currently powerless to help.
"This spell," Koenma chimed in. All eyes fell onto the rather surprised looking demi-god. "I've never seen anyone actually perform it. She must be a very powerful psychic."
"What kind of spell is it?" Kuwabara questioned.
"It's an illusionary spell," the brunette answered.
"Then if we get too close," the red head added, "The illusion will fool us as well."
The psychic placed her palms outward in front of her. "Deadly illusion!" she shouted.
Purple energy exploded from her body, encircling herself and the fire demon. The energy seemed to form a barrier preventing the others from helping.
"Sweet dreams fire baby," she panted as she dropped to her knees from exhaustion.

Hiei found himself engulfed in darkness. His trained eyes scanned the area quickly for Akabe. Off in the distance he could see a faint light. Against his better judgment, he ran towards it. He quickly realized the light was coming from behind a door. Reaching out, the fire demon quickly found the door knob and slowly opened it. He was rather surprised to see a dimly lit hallway. He felt himself numbly walk down the hallway. He stopped when the hallway split off in two directions. The light was emanating from the left. Hiei continued to follow the light. Toward the end of the hallway was a doorway with which the light was pouring out from. As he entered the room, he saw a familiar red head cooking something on the stove.
"Ah, your injuries healed up nicely," Kurama said as he glanced at the fire demon. "Dinner's almost ready, so go ahead and sit at the table." He smiled.
"Kurama?" Hiei questioned slowly as he sat at the table. "What happened during the fight?"
The red head turned off the burner. "Yuusuke knocked you out with a spirit gun to your back."
The fire demon slammed his fists on the table causing his crush to start. "The fight with Akabe! What happened?"
"Akabe?" he questioned slowly. "You must have hit your head harder than I though." He stopped to grab a serving plate from the cabinet. "I don't know what you're talking about, but you were sparring with Yuusuke this morning."
'Perhaps it was all an elaborate dream cause by a concussion,' he thought. 'But then that means…' He looked at the red head. "How are Yuusuke and Koenma doing?"
"They're out shopping together." The fox smiled at him again. "That was very sweet of you to get them together. They both deserved it."
"It's not a big deal," he responded while blushing.
Kurama placed the food on the table. Before the fox sat down, he place a loving kiss on Hiei's lips who blushed deeply in return.
"You're adorable when you blush."
'There's no way this is real!' the fire demon mentally yelled. "Er Kurama, when did I tell you about my feelings for you?"
"You don't remember?" he pouted. "Before we left demon world, you gave me you tear gem."
Hiei took a bite of the food before him to distract himself. "This is delicious!"
Kurama blushed lightly. "It's nothing special."
The meal passed mostly in silence. Just as the fire demon got up, he was pulled down onto the fox's lap. He quickly found himself in a loving embrace. If only he could be held like this for all eternity.
"I love you my fire baby."
Hiei's eyes widened as he realized what that statement meant. "Kurama?"
"Yes dear?"
"What's the name of my sister?" he asked, already knowing what he would say.
"Yuusuke must have really done a number on you," he answered. "You know you don't have any family aside from me."
Hiei slowly broke free from the loving embrace and face his crush. "As nice as this is, it isn't real and I will not run from reality!"
He pulled his bandana off before quickly removing the wards on his arm. As his energy rose, the scene before him faded away and quickly returned to the forest he was in once before.
"My illusion," Akabe uttered in disbelief. "How could you break free from it so easily?"
"It had me fooled until you made two fatal mistakes," he answered as his energy prepared to release the dragon. "You are the only one to have ever called me fire baby, but your biggest mistake was not knowing I have a sister!"
"I was so careless," she uttered. "It's too late not. I haven't the strength to do much else."
The fire demon pulled his arm back. "Black dragon wave!" he cried throwing his arm forward and releasing the dragon.
The psychic threw her arms up in front of her face in a futile attempt to block the attack. She was powerless to stop it as it crashed into her and slammed her into her own barrier. As the dragon disappeared and returned to Hiei's arm, the barrier surrounding them disappeared as well. The fire demon dropped to his knees from exhaustion. He looked up only to see Akabe lying motionless face down in the grass.
"Is she… dead?" Kuwabara asked.
Suddenly the psychic's right arm moved slowly and reached to grab something out of her top. It was the blue ball the contained the half demon's voice. Raising it she smashed it against the ground. Blue light erupted from it and flew straight at Yuusuke. The moment his voice came back, he shouted at the fire demon.
"Hiei, its Kurama!"
The fire demon looked at Akabe only to realize that the dual-bladed spear was missing. He quickly turned to look at the red head and spotted something shining in the distance behind him. Without a moment's hesitation he ran toward him and pushed him roughly out of harm's way. The glowing red spear pierced his chest all the way through before exiting out his back. He collapsed to the ground as he felt all his strength leaving his body.
"Hiei!" the fox cried out as he lifted the fire demon slightly. His emerald eyes fell to the large gaping hole in the demon's chest.
The fire demon laughed weakly as blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. "You're right, we did beat her. She used her life energy to control the spear one last time."
"Don't talk!" Kurama chided.
"Yeah we'll get Yukina," Kuwabara added. "You'll be okay."
Yuusuke fought back tears. This was his entire fault. If only he could have done something sooner. "She wanted you to know her pain by taking someone you loved."
Koenma put a hand on Yuusuke's shoulder and with a quick glance to Kuwabara; they all gave the two demons some distance.
"Kurama," he choked out as he reached into his pocket. He pulled out the tear gem and handed it to him.
"Your mother's tear gem?" the read head asked confused.
"I should have told you sooner. You mean the world to me. I just wish we could have had more time to spend together."
"I had no idea," he responded.
Hiei's hand shakily reached up and gently brushed some hair behind his crushes ear. "Perhaps we'll meet again someday."
"Don't you dare give up Hiei!" the fox cried. "Just hang in there!"
"I'm sorry Kurama," he gasped. "It looks like I'll have to let you down."
"You can't go like this!"
"I'm sorry," Hiei whispered slowly. "I… love… you…"
At that moment, his fiery red eyes slid closed and the hand touching Kurama's face abruptly fell. He looked like he was finally at peace with himself.
"Hiei?" the fox called out to him softly while shaking him lightly. The tears finally spilled over as he cradled the deceased fire demon in his arms. "Don't go Hiei! Don't leave me all alone! Hiei!"
