They say that time heals everything. They say that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. I say that such words are those of fools. Time will never heal my heart and loving her only to lose her will never be better than not ever having met her at all.

Even though centuries have passed now I can still see those cobalt eyes when I close my eyes. I can still hear her voice ringing in my memories as she laughed. I don't know where she came from but I know I will never forget her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The wind was pleasant to me as the January weather tossed snow flurries around. Being an ice apparition in part made the ice and snow of winter feel like a taste of a home I had never known, but being a fire apparition as well made the icy winds feel like a light cool breeze brushing my face and hands. It was only in these moments that I allowed my self to think of that ice world I had come from with anything akin to longing.

Any other time I despised it and them, the frozen hardhearted ice maidens of whom I came from. My mother broke the laws of her people and laid with a male. Ironically a fire apparition. And from that union I was born. Hated from the beginning by all but my fallen mother. I was thrown from their world in hopes I would die.

I however would not grant them such and survived. I refuse to think on the years that passed after wards except to be grateful for the strength I gained and the skill to defend my self that I learned. Time changes all and I was no exception. I became ruthless and cold. Denying my heritage of ice I focused on some of my qualities of fire, learning to mold them to my will for battle. I became well known as a youkai with great power but little compassion. I took what I desired and killed any in my way. Perhaps that was why the village hated me.

“Inuyasha! This is crazy we can't hunt a youkai in this storm!” a female voice called over the wind. I turned an eye towards the sound to observe them from my perch in a tree above them. Their were four of them, a ragtag bunch that seemed as unlikely as they were well known. I watched them closely having heard that they were fierce opponents who never failed to conquer their foes. To my eyes they looked like half frozen humans who were at the mercy of the elements and the failing light of day.

The female who had spoken stopped trudging through the snow and sat down on a fallen tree. “That's it.” she declared with a note of finality. I watched her closely. “We are stopping.” she stated earning a growl and several choice words from the male I assumed was the leader. I didn't bother to listen to his rant as I watched the group separate in to specific tasks and the girl who had ended the argument was pulling some odd things I had never seen before from a bright yellow pack.

In a matter of moments she had built alone a rather large hut like structure and was pounding something in to the ground to hold it in place. I was curious but cautious. I would examine the shelter closer after they settled in for the night. I was not stupid enough to venture in to the middle of their camp like some might. She paused for a moment and looked up. I noticed her eyes flicking from tree to tree around the area I hid. Could she feel my eyes on her? I felt her gaze bush past me before snapping back.

I met her eyes boldly I had nothing to hide. I was not afraid of any especially a human girl. Her eye color stopped me from glaring at her though as I saw that her eyes were the brightest oddest shade of blue I had ever seen on a human. She looked puzzled for a moment and then turned back to her companions. I was baffled. Did she not raise the alarm on purpose? Surely I was the youkai that they hunted for but though I had been seen she did not say a word about me.

Soon the smells of whatever food had been prepared filled the area and I found that the scent was pleasant enough to make even my mouth water a bit but though it smelled intriguing I still did not move from my perch. My mind still circled around the eyes I had seen and I found myself becoming frustrated and curious to know why she had not alerted the others to my presence. I decided then that I would snatch her from her group and question her. I had to know the thoughts behind her eyes.

Cheerful conversation wound down to a low hum as the hour grew later and the humans feeling the drain of the day began to ready themselves to retire for the night. I waited biding my time till the girl with blue eyes wandered away from the group. I did not have to wait long. “I'll go get some water from the river and I'll be right back.” she announced to the male in red who I had noticed to be a hanyou. He shrugged and turned back to whatever had his attention.

The girl moved quietly through the snow along the path one of her companions had created to the river earlier. In her arms she carried a bamboo bucket and a cloth. I assumed its purpose was for drying something so I watched her following silently through the branches above her head. She knelt by the river and emptied the bucket of the items she'd brought and filled the bucket with water. Watching her closely I was puzzled as to why in the world anyone would wash them selves with cold water in this weather but she was. First her body a little at a time she would stick out the part to be washed and then pull it back in the the cloth when she finished. And then her hair, long ebony colored hair that looked like silk. She shivered as she worked up some sweet smelling potion in to a lather.

Deciding to make my presence known I heated the water in her bucket just a few feet away from me. I watched her closely as she lifted the bucket and scrunched her eyes at the coming cold. Her gasp was rather satisfying as the hot water instead doused her hair. Quickly wrapping a cloth around her hair she spun to face me. I gave her no chance to speak as I covered her mouth and darted away from the river.

I took her to a cave I had been inhabiting the last few days and sparked the dying embers back to life as I pushed her in a head of me. I had left no scent of her behind me so her companions following was impossible. She did not scream or look alarmed or surprised to be whisked away. I waited for her to ask the usual questions of why have you taken me, or who are you but she just watched me. Finally she smiled cautiously before saying,

“Thanks for heating my water for me. I hate cold baths.”

I frowned. She was thanking me? I had been merely causing mischief to get her attention before snatching her away. I had not done it to be nice or for her comfort but she thanked me. I watched her as she unwound the cloth from her hair and tousled her long locks. She watched me from the corner of her eye but not with fear. She puzzled me more when she stretched her arms above her head and almost purred “This heat feels so good!” Unconsciously I had been raising my jykai to warm the cave and dry her hair. I noticed and frowned though I did not stop the warmth. So many questions filled my head, who was she? Why was she unafraid? What was she doing in the forest, had she no sense? And why had she not raised an alarm when she saw me?

Words had never been my strong suit but I managed to speak regardless. “Onna have you no sense of self preservation?” it came out harsh and colder than I had intended but I was not going to back track. I was not expecting her smile and giggle. The woman had to be mad.

She sat up and extended her hand. “I'm Kagome.” she said cheerfully. “I figure you are probably curious so I'll answer your questions as best I can.”

I did not extend my own hand in fact I was suddenly anxious to get as far from her as I could. But her eyes stopped me before I moved. Or rather I could not look away from her eyes. Emotions danced in her eyes faster than I could fully discern them. Her aura which reached out to me in ways I was unfamiliar with gave me clues to how she was feeling and I discovered that she was scared and apprehensive but she was just as sincere in her words. She was a puzzle. With out much of a pause she began to answer all of the questions that I had been pondering.

Her answers were strange and confusing. Her accent was different and yet similar to the speech of humans. Some of her words though made little sense. I listened to her while pretending not to. Her lips forming words caught my attention and I watched her closely but from the corner of my eye. Finally she stopped speaking and frowned.

“You never told me your name.” she said expectantly. I turned my full attention on her and she waited. I looked at the hope in her blue eyes and nearly growled. Why was I letting this human continue to bother me? Why did I not spill her life blood and be done with it? Her voice was enchanting in its soft complexity but her words and mannerisms puzzled me. I don't know why I gave her my name.

“Hiei.”

Before dawn I returned her to her companions still confused by my own actions. All I knew was that Kagome was going to live a long life and I was going to make certain of it. Against my will I followed her to every village and through every forest. I watched silently as a phantom as she went through every battle. Once or twice I saved her life without being noticed by her watch dog. It was an amusement to me. I could get so close and he never saw heard or felt me. What a stupid mutt.

The one place I would not follow her was to Edo. It seemed that that was the half dogs territory and I would certainly be noticed there. I watched her from the top of a very tall tree though. I hated the dog. He would say terrible things to her and make her blue eyes fill with tears. Several times I wanted to kill the fool or at least cut out his bumbling tongue. It was one of these days that she disappeared.

I watched a fight between the girl and the dog. I never got close enough to hear the words spoken usually but today I did. I clearly heard the angry words spoken and ignored as usual the dog. He only managed to irritate me further if I listened. But Kagome's voice was loud and clear. She was hurting and angry. “You do this every time! I am not Kikyo! I don't want to be her and I will not be treated as though I am, not by you or anyone else. I'm sorry she died but I could not save her. No one could.”

I saw the flash of a small pink orb as it was thrown at the dog. “Here take the stupid jewel and leave me alone!”

When Kagome turned and stormed away the dog ran to chase her leaving the jewel where it lay. I jumped down and picked it up. Looking it over I frowned. If this was the legendary jewel of four souls it was a fools trinket. I did not want it. I wanted my power to be real and my own. Crouching behind a large shrub I watched as Kagome stormed passed me and down a well worn path. She paused at the opening to a clearing. “Hiei, I'm sorry but I will need that.” she said holding out her small hand.

I stepped out of my hiding place to drop the jewel in to her hand. She wrapped her hand around it and turned to look at me. “Thank you for watching over me.” she whispered. Before she continued passed me in to the clearing. I watched her go towards a well in the center of the clearing. She sat on the side of it and smiled her strange sad smile. Glancing down to the jewel in her hand she whispered words I could not hear and there was a flash of light.

When the light died she was gone. The well was gone and any trace of her sweet scent with it. I left Edo that instant and vowed I would never return. I turned my thoughts again to my revenge on the ice maidens who had tried to kill me. In my centuries long search I learned of a demon surgeon who could implant a jagan eye into my body. The jagan would be the key I felt to finding the frozen world of ice and her. I could not forget her and though I knew she was probably dead I could not rest until I knew for certain.

By sheer luck I found the ice world and learned that I was too late to exact my revenge on the elders who had tried to murder me. However while I was there I discovered something that shook me to the core I had a twin sister who had ventured out to search for me. I felt driven and desperate to locate my twin. She was a link to something I had been denied. She was a link to something I never knew I wanted. But I knew I would venture to the very gates of hell and back to find her.

I knew then that my only choice was to find the surgeon and ask for the Jagan. So I began my search for him and paid his awful price for the object I wanted. The pain was indescribable. In someways I think I died there on his operating table and yet I lived. Fevered dreams haunted me as I finally succumbed to the darkness of unconsciousness. I saw blue eyes. She was laughing at something I had said in the cave long ago. It was the only time I spent with her but she changed my heart. I was still ruthless and cold but not to her. I could never be cold to her.

Over the months and years it took me to recover I realized I cared for that girl. The anger I felt at not getting the chance to know her better became my driving force. I decided to punish the world that she was no longer a part of. The humans would pay for the loss of her light and the youkai would fare no better. I would destroy the world so she would miss nothing. Plotting my revenge took time and patience but time mattered little to a youkai. I grew in strength and power as I mastered the Jagan eye.

I gathered allies to assist me but I kept my true purpose to myself. She was my memory and only mine as she would have been should she still alive. But her fragile human life would have ended before the change of power in the human society. She would have succumbed to old age and perished. But I could not find a grave. Someone as beloved as she should have left some mark. There was nothing. It was as though she had been forgotten. But not by me, never by me. I would force the world to remember the girl with the sad smile and the blue eyes. I would force them to mourn her as I did.

I had planned out everything. I had accounted for every eventuality except the new spirit detective, Yuusuke Urameshi. He defeated my allies one by one until I was the only one left. I fought with all my strength for her but I failed. I expected to be put to death for my crimes. I expected to finally have an end to the sorrow and loss that ate at me continuously at the thought of her death. But I was denied my ending. Instead I was placed under parole and was forced to be in a team with the one who had denied me my revenge on all the world for her.

I hated him. He smiled like her. They were too a like in my eyes. But at the same time I could not help but to be amused by his antics. With him I didn't hurt so badly. We became friends all of us, Yuusuke, Kurama, and grudgingly Kuwabara at least grudgingly for me. As time passed we as a team found my sister, though I could not tell her who I was thanks to the payment I had given Shigure (the surgeon who gave me the Jagan), I was happy to see her. My Yukina.

Time continued to go by and we went on many life risking missions together. Yuusuke died twice in those missions, only to come back the final time as a youkai himself. It was our last mission though that was looming ahead of us. Yuusuke had been ordered from the human world and was preparing to go. Kurama and I planned to follow him back to the Makai. Three days before we were to leave my communicator buzzed in my pocket...

“Hiei you need to meet the others at a place near your location. An energy signal has been reported and Koenma wants you to look in to it.”

I hated the sound of the bubbly grim reapers voice. It grated on my nerves and made me wish I could silence her. It was only more so today. It was the five hundred and third year since the last day I had seen that girl Kagome. I preferred to be alone on this day every year to think about her, Her eyes which still haunted my dreams and the sound of her laugh. I even allowed my self a moment to recall how my name sounded on her lips. With a sigh I jumped down from the tree I was perched in and made my way to where the others were waiting.

“A shrine?” I questioned aloud to the kitsune avatar Kurama. He grinned at me with one of his I know something you don't looks. I glared at him and darted up the stairs before the others. I froze where I stood as I came face to face with eyes the color of the sky in summer just before dark. Those same eyes which had haunted me for centuries.

She looked weary and broken but she offered a sad almost disbelieving smile before she threw her arms around me saying my name softly as she did. I felt her tremble against me before my brain caught up and I wrapped her in my arms before she could pull away.

She was warm and I didn't question how it was. The pain of losing her was suddenly gone as though it had never been to begin with. Kagome was alive. My Kagome was alive. She looked no different than the day I seen her last and everything clicked in to place. The objects she had used, the food stuffs she had. They were all from this time. She was from this time.

“Holy shit! Is that really Hiei hugging a girl!?”

“Wow, she's shorter than shorty!”

“Oh, now this is interesting. ”
