Thief of Hearts 10:
The End
Author's Notes: I am taking a break from writing about my favorite couple Hiei and Panthera; instead I am going to write a story centered around Kurama and Botan. Actually this is Yoko Kurama and Botan, before she was a Ferry Girl, and the romance they shared years ago. Kurone and Yomi will be this story but will not play an important role. Anyways this story will also eventually include important facts about future stories I plan to write and will explain how Yomi ended up with the scriptures of the prophecy.

It had been five years since Torko had attacked and seven years since the mating ceremony between Botan and Kurama. The two of them now had a five year old baby girl. The girl had blue hair and purple eyes like her mother and the abilities, ears, and tail of her father. She was the perfect combination of her parents. The girl's name was Lily and she was the pride of her pack. However, their happiness would not last long because it was about to be destroyed by the one person they least expected.
Prince Reiyuki had finally decided to give up finding Botan, he hadn't been able to find her in seven years, so he decided she was dead. He and his men were about to pack up when he saw Kurama and some of his men running toward a nearby village.
"Now I have you," whispered Reiyuki slipping into the nearby woods to follow them.
Reiyuki followed Kurama and waited for him and his men to split up when he did Reiyuki followed the kitsune so he could corner him and put an end to the demon. The moment Kurama came to a stop so he could grab some things from a chest Reiyuki stepped into the light.
"Demon scum where is the woman?!" demanded Reiyuki pointing a sword at his throat.
"My mate is back home with my pack," smirked Kurama. "And our child we are after all mated to one another."
"You lie!" growled Reiyuki.
"Nope," smirked Kurama pulling his hair back to reveal the bite mark on his neck. "I don't. Now go away pathetic ant so I can finish raiding this place and bring back more treasure to lay at her feet."
Reiyuki's anger rose when he saw that Kurama was not taking him seriously.
"Demon!" he roared. "Look at me!"
"You are starting to annoy me," growled Kurama he removed a rose from his hair and turned it into a whip.
"I am going to kill you," said Reiyuki.
"I would love to see you do that," smirked Kurama.
The two men lunged at each other and the fighting began.

Botan and the women were gathered around Lily as the young girl began to make flower crowns for them. The rest of the men were scattered around the territory to make sure no one snuck onto the territory. Botan began to run her hand over her chest felling a slight pain in her heart.
"Is something wrong my queen?" asked Parn gently.
"No," said Botan after a moment. "Its nothing I am sure the men are simply having a little bit of trouble with their latest raid."
"I am sure they will be fine," said Parn after a moment.
Botan sighed and brushed Parn's hair from her eyes gently. The half breed had been half their ever since Kurone had been killed on a raid last year. She had never gotten over the loss of her mate, especially since they had never been able to have a child together. Kurama and Botan had agreed on naming them the pack parents of Lily.
"Something is wrong," said Vano after a moment.
"What do you mean?" asked Noriko looking up.
"I don't think he will be coming back to us alive," said Vano softly.
"Impossible," said Inu. "If that were so then Lady Botan would have told us!"
"No," said Botan after a moment taking a shaky breathe. "I think she is right something is wrong with him."
The women immediately began to set about helping her lay down so she could breathe easier. However, as time went on they knew they were losing their queen and that could only mean one thing, their king was dying as well.
"No," whispered Noriko as Botan took her last breathe and Lily began to sob. "It can't be they are both gone."

Kurama had taken the form of a human baby and was to be reborn into the human world; meanwhile, Botan was not so lucky. As punishment for falling in love with a demon and having a child with him; she was forced into becoming the most hated and feared person in the world. Koenma sentenced her to five thousand years of ferrying souls back and forth from the human world and the spirit world.
Two souls waited to be reunited once again and their love never died instead it became even more stronger then before.
THE END.

Author's Notes: I am glad I finally finished this story. Anywho much later down the road I will be bringing Lily and the rest of Kurama's pack back onto the scene so keep an eye out for that story! Also eventually I plan to write a one shot going into Kurone and his relationship with Panthera and her ansectors.
The End
