Eyes Like Twins, a yu yu hakusho fanfic

Yukina sighed as she saw the dark clouds drifting ever closer. It was well into the winter season and the city had been experiencing harsh cold winds lately, but no snow. That surprised Yukina, usually snow started falling a few weeks before now, but the clouds coming in promised the snow that had been absent. As the little ice maiden sweep the front porch in front of the doujo, her thoughts began to wonder. It wasn't that the little girl didn't like snow, in fact, she loved it, it reminded her so much of her homeland. A feeling of homesickness drifted up inside her, but she quickly pushed it down. She was sad because he didn't like snow.

I recognize that smile
Our winter was, oh, so cold
You wore your mysterious cloak just like a child

Hiei didn't like the Ningenkai winter or the Makai winter, he hated snow and he hated the cold. That's why when she saw the storm clouds coming she felt disappointed, Hiei would soon be leaving, if he hadn't already. She couldn't really blame him, considering who Hiei was. Sighing again, the little Koorime heading inside to start some tea for Genkai. She knew the Reikai Tantei team along with her other friends believed her to be completely innocent or somewhat close to it. So maybe she was, but that didn't make her stupid! It didn't take her long to figure out the secret being kept from her. The whistling of the teapot brought her out of her trance and she went about her work sluggishly. 'I wonder if he'll stop by today…'

No careless words were said
We spoke with eyes instead
We looked into each other like long lost friends

A familiar presence landed in the sitting room and Yukina smiled. Taking a deep breath and adding a piece of cake on the tray she held she opened the sliding door. Her ruby eyes instantly snapped up to stare at the dark figure by the window. She made a small gasp, pretending she just figured out he was here, but then quickly greeted him as she always did.

"Konnichi wa, Hiei-san!"

But then you went away
And I never heard
You had a summer haunt
You said the ice would kill
But you would not be caught

Yukina sat down at the table putting the tray down on the table and motioned for the fire demon to sit with her without looking up at him. He was hesitant, but eventually he sat across from her silently eating the cake she offered him. Yukina smiled sipping her tea, looking up at Hiei for the second time that day. He turned slightly and their eyes meet, subconsciously Yukina gripped her cup tighter and stared.

We have eyes like twins
Where your last thought ends my next begins always
Just one heartbeat away
From everything I mean to say oh
Catch me I'm falling like you
Wish for me I'll come running to save you
Touch me I'm calling for you
Remember me, I will never betray you
We have eyes like twins

She quickly shook her head at the bad feeling that settled in her stomach. 'Why can't you tell me? Are you ashamed of having me as your sister?' Hiei seemed to just notice his sister's odd behavior. He shifted uncomfortably before getting up and heading towards the entrance of the doujo, Yukina following a few seconds later. Hiei stopped at the top of the stairs leading from the doujo before turning to his sister.

I slept a thousand hours
My heart felt cold as a coward's
You sent a southern breeze like forest fire
I heard those voices too
I dreamed each dream with you
We breathe as one together and shed our tears

"It's going to snow soon…" he spoke softly, so unlike him, but Yukina knew what he meant. (I'm must be going…) Yukina smiled and handed him a small package of small deserts for his journey.

"Yes, it will snow soon." Yukina stated. (Take care.)

"…I hate winter…" (…I'll be back in spring…)

"I know…" (I'll be waiting…)

But then I woke with you
And my dream came true
I'll never hold you here
I know when winter comes that you will disappear

Hiei bowed his head and glanced at the horizon before turning back to his baby sister. Yukina seemed to just melt with pride; he looked so grand as the sunset illuminated his figure from behind. She just had to be proud as well, when Hiei attempted a small smile for her. She met his eyes once again; Red gazing at Red!

"Well, keep out of trouble." Hiei said awkwardly, (Goodbye.)

"Hiei-san!"

Hiei, in a mid-crouch position so that he could jump into the trees, away from Ningenkai and to Makai (where it was now summer), stopped to look at his sister. Yukina shuttered out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"I don't mean to bother you, but…my big brother…?" (When will you tell me…when?)

Something flashed in Hiei's eyes, some sort of emotion, but it was gone before she could fully understand what just happened within him.

"…While I'm there…I'll look for him…" (Someday…maybe, someday…I'll tell you the truth about your brother, about me…)

Yukina smiled and hugged Hiei quickly. The fire demon stiffened in shock and she quickly let him go as to not scare him off.

I see red, when you're in danger
And I see blue, when you are crying
All the pictures I believe
You are no stranger
You are no stranger

"You are no stranger…Hiei-san." Yukina whispered and in a flash Hiei was gone. She looked up at the sky as the first snowfall came drifting towards her. She smiled as she remembered what he had said to her. He hadn't spoken aloud the words she wanted to hear, but she saw it in his eyes, eyes so like her own.

"Sayounara, Onii-san…"

Touch me I'm calling for you
Remember me, you are no stranger
We have eyes like twins
You are no stranger to me
Just one heartbeat away…

(Yu Yu Hakusho)
