Here it is! The end has come and I think it wrapped up pretty well. But I will let you decide! I'm sorry it took so long. I got lost on the path of life and it took a while to find my way! Read the very bottom for my next project details.

Previously: Hatorra listened as the words they spoke became blurry and she faded into the dark.

Several Hours Later...

Hatorra's eyes snapped open and she look around wildly. She went to sit up, but was stopped by strong hands. When her vision returned to focus she realized she was soaked.

"Take it easy. We just pulled you out. Let the medics look you over," Hiei said firmly as he wrapped a robe around her body.

She shivered and held the robe closer to her. Hiei held out his hand and she took it hesitantly. She gasped as a warm energy filled her body causing her to stop shivering.

"How are you feeling?" he asked tentatively.

Hatorra nodded slightly. Hiei frowned.

"Can you talk to me please?" he asked as nicely as he could.

Hatorra stared at him.

"Is the baby alive?" she asked and watched shock form on his face.

He wasn't expecting those words, nor was he prepared for them. After a moment he spoke.

"Yes."

"Healthy?" she followed up.

"Yes."

Hatorra nodded and stood up slowly. Hiei watched her carefully.

"Where is everyone?" she mumbled, not looking at him.

Hiei stood up still staring at her.

"Probably still speaking with the children," he said and she looked up at him.

"They told us how they had planned to leave for Gandara and how you found out about the plan, followed them to the territory, and saved them. They're in big trouble," he said shaking his head.

Hatorra frowned.

"Why?" she asked shocking him again.

"Their reckless actions caused you to have to fight off an entire army," he snapped.

"That's just not true. That's not how it happened. They shouldn't be getting in trouble. They saved my life," she shot back.

Hiei's eyes widened. Hatorra tried to calm down, but she refused to let those kids get in trouble for her.

"I went out and fought the army by choice. We came up with a specific strategy. They were to go underground to take out Shura while I distracted everyone else. And that's exactly what they did. They got him to admit that Isome and Hiroku killed Yomi and turned the attack on them. If they hadn't got him to do that I'd surely be dead," she explained.

All was quiet while he processed all the information.

"What were you thinking going out there by yourself?!" he snapped suddenly, making her jump.

"Were you going there to die?!" he asked enraged.

Hatorra stared at him.

"I did what I thought was best. Mukuro was stalling and you were all hurt. And apparently it's a good thing I did go. Had I not, more lives would have been lost because of a misunderstanding," she said calmly.

Hiei grabbed her cheeks roughly.

"I don't care about other lives! I care about yours and our daughter's. I care about this!" he yelled at her placing his hand on her stomach.

Hatorra's eyes widened.

"You could have died Hatorra! Kas could have died! When I woke up and didn't see you there...when I couldn't find you or Kas in the palace..." he trailed off.

"...I thought of every time I should have just apologized to you and I didn't. The thought of not having the opportunity to fix things...I wouldn't survive without the two of you, why is it so hard for you to see that?" he murmured and Hatorra blinked shocked.

"I see it," she whispered.

"But you don't believe it. Why do you think you matter so little to me? You have given me...everything. Things I've never dreamed I'd ever have..." he confessed quietly.

"I'm here with you right now by choice. I want to be here with you. I don't ever want to be anywhere else," he admitted, a small blush on his cheeks.

Hatorra let a few tears slip by as she unconsciously blushed.

Hiei touched her face gently wiping away the tears.

"It's going to be alright now. The war is over and the threat is gone," he said and Hatorra's eyes widened.

"Hiroku—"

"—he's in Mukuro's holding cells for now," Hiei answered her unspoken question.

Hatorra nodded.

"Have you spoken to him?" she asked softly.

Hiei looked away from her.

"A couple of times. Yukina wanted to introduce him to Yuki and Kas wanted to meet him. He's asked about you, how you are," he said calmly.

Hatorra nudged him.

"And what about you? How are you?" she asked.

Hiei shrugged.

"I'm not sure yet," he admitted honestly.

Hatorra leaned towards him, startling him slightly. He leaned his head against hers affectionately.

"I'm sorry I doubted you Hatorra. I don't know what came over me. But when I heard you think about killing a child...ours...my mind just blanked—"

"—I'm going to kiss you now Hiei," she cut him off and his eyes widened.

She smiled and pressed her lips to his in a slow kiss. His lips were so soft on hers and soon the kiss deepened as one hand rose to her cheek while the other entangled itself in her hair. Her hands skimmed his chest eliciting a soft groan from the man. When they pulled away trying to regain their breath she smiled. It was a smile she saved only for him.

"I miss this," she whispered and he smiled slightly.

"Me too," he said and Kas came running in.

"Dad, the medics are here!" Kas called and then ran to her mother.

She threw herself into Hatorra's arms almost sending her flying backwards, had Hiei not steadied her.

"Easy Kasei," Hiei scolded lightly and Kasei hugged her mother tightly.

"I was so worried mom," she whispered and Hatorra held her closer.

"I'm alright now Kas," Hatorra said soothingly into her daughter's ear.

"Aunt Torra!" Daisuke yelled running in.

He hugged her tightly and soon Hideki and Yuki followed suit. Kat walked in with Kurama, Yusuke, Keiko, Kuwabara, and Yukina. It was then that Hatorra had a revelation of sorts and a big smile broke out onto her face. The kids grinned too. They didn't know why, but Hatorra's bright smile was infectious.

"What are you kids smiling about? You're all in serious trouble," Kat scolded.

Hatorra shook her head and held the kids to her tightly as they giggled.

"No they're not," she cheered and the adults' eyes widened.

"What?" Kat asked and Hatorra giggled with the kids.

"Oh leave them alone. We were all so stupid at one point in our lives. You shouldn't judge them. Perhaps I should tell those stories of what we did at their age!" she laughed and Kat blushed.

"No thank you," she said and chuckled.

She couldn't help it. She hadn't seen her friend this playfully in a long time. The kids clung to Hatorra laughing and she fell to the floor with them still hysterical.

"What has gotten into you?" Kurama asked amused.

Yusuke and Kuwabara were currently getting in on the fun by attacking their kids respectively and wrestling them playfully. They were losing. Hatorra wiped at her eyes.

"Can't you see it? We did it. We made it out alive, all of us," she grinned holding Kas close.

Everyone's eyes widened. Hatorra smiled.

"We all made it out together. That's reason to be happy," she said firmly and everyone silently agreed.

She leaned into Hiei and he looked down at his two girls smiling slightly.

"We are the makers of our own futures now. We proved that by changing the future and now another future has changed. From now on I want to feel like this all the time. It feels good," Hatorra replied smiling.

Hiei chuckled and held them tighter. She was right. They were all alive and though they had been through hell and back they could still laugh. They were not broken.

"Where's Mukuro?" Hatorra questioned after a moment.

"She's discussing a new treaty with Shura and Enki. A way to unite against bigger threats and keep their territories," he said and she nodded.

"I wonder what that little pouch she gave me contained," she wondered out loud.

Kasei looked up.

"It saved my baby brother," she whispered and Hatorra and Hiei's eyes shot to hers.

"What?" they both asked in unison.

Kas frowned.

"You didn't know? I sprinkled some in your tank while you were recovering so that my brother could live. He wasn't doing too well and Mukuro said the magic dust would allow him to live and not hurt you anymore. So I put a whole lot in the tank and saved the rest," she said patting her pocket.

"A regenerative powder? I had heard those had become very rare throughout the Makai," Kurama spoke fascinated.

"I'll have to thank her," Hatorra said softly, thinking about how far the mechanical woman had come.

"So what happens now?" Kat asked stretching.

"Now we go home," Yusuke said and the group all looked at each other.

Home only meant one place.

Two Years Later…The Temple…

Hatorra sat on the floor with her son playing with his feet as he giggled. He had brown hair and bright red eyes. Kano came running downstairs with Kat not far behind and tackled her. He had red hair and green eyes, almost a replica of his father.

"Run Haru!" Kano screamed with delight.

Hatorra laughed and pretended to struggle to get him. Haru ran out of her reach laughing.

"No fair! It's three on one!" she whined.

Kat laughed poking her in the ribs.

"Sorry Torra, they bribed me onto their side," Kat mused.

Hatorra laughed more and lay on the floor tiredly. Haru was about to pounce when strong arms scooped him up. He grinned at his dad happily.

"We got mom," he said and Hiei smirked seeing Hatorra pinned to the floor.

"I thoroughly enjoy you in that position Hatorra," Hiei said eyeing her and she burned red.

"Hiei, not in front of the kids!" she scolded.

Kat laughed and then yelped as Kurama came up behind her, taking her off guard and wrapping his arms around her. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko, and Yukina also entered the room.

"What's this about?" Yusuke asked annoyed as usual.

"I don't know he said he just wanted us all in the living room," Kurama said softly.

Keiko rubbed her swollen belly and Yukina held a small baby boy with orange curls and red eyes in her arms protectively. After a short while, Koenma appeared with Botan at his side.

"Thank you all for coming," he said and Yusuke rolled his eyes.

"Get to it Koenma," he snapped annoyed.

Koenma glared at him.

"I have a mission that needs to be done. I was hoping—"

"—you know the rules," Kat cut him off.

"Yeah, you know we're only helping if it's serious. Otherwise don't you have a group for the job?" Hatorra spoke up.

Koenma sighed.

"I do, but unfortunately they are just like their parents and won't answer their phones!" he whined.

Botan sweat dropped.

"They seem to like making him wait," she chimed and Hiei smirked.

"Yusuke sighed and opened a compact he still carried with him in case of emergencies. He jabbed in a number and on the second beep someone picked up.

"Yeah dad?" Hideki asked appearing on the screen.

He was in his teens now and his hair was longer and messier, in his chocolate brown eyes. Yusuke growled.

"Stop fucking around and answer your compacts when Koenma calls you! Don't you know how serious these missions are?!" he yelled.

"Yusuke, language!" Keiko scolded and Haru and Kano giggled sheepishly.

Hideki rolled his eyes and was about to retort when Kasei pushed on the screen. Her hair was longer tied in a ponytail and her eyes burned red with fire. Her face had matured some.

"I told him to answer it, but he's so stubborn! Grandpa says it's because he's your son," she grinned and Hideki blushed in the background.

Yusuke glared at the screen hoping it reached Kas's grandfather and an ally of theirs Hiroku.

"We just finished a mission! Are you seriously saying we have another?!" Yuki groaned.

His hair was longer, pulled back into a loose ponytail of blue waves. He too was in his teens.

"Yes of course! A spirit detective's job is never done!" Yusuke continued to yell.

Hiei rolled his eyes. Daisuke came on the monitor. His red hair was short as he brushed it back tiredly. His blue eyes pierced through the screen.

"Could you just have him send us the report? We'll handle it from there," he said calmly.

Yusuke nodded and Kasei jumped on Daisuke's back.

"Let us see Kano and Haru!" she grinned.

Yusuke rolled his eyes and showed Haru and Kano the screen.

"Kas!" Haru yelled happily and Kas grinned and waved.

"Be home soon Haru! Love you!" she giggled and he waved back.

Daisuke smiled lightly and waved at Kano before the screen shut.

"What was that bullshit you just spewed Urameshi? You never answered your compact," Kuwabara asked and Yusuke grinned.

"It's not bullshit, its skill! And I'm having them learn from our mistakes," he laughed and the group laughed too.

"They'll be alright. They're our children after all," Hatorra whispered and everyone agreed as they sat around the living room.

Then a comfortable silence fell over them as each reflected on the path of life they chose. The future they all took part in changing. And they all came to an unconscious united decision.

They chose well.
