Thunder crashed throughout the sky. Hail stones slammed onto the ground, like grains of rice, scattering in all sorts of directions. The wind howled and roared, and trees danced to its music. For the residents of Mushiori City, it meant that it was night that signaled a week for indoor activities. Nobody walked the streets at this time of the year.

December 17 was always the most dismal day of the year. One Dark cloud in the sky was enough to make a dog howl. Small floods swept through the streets.

One particular person seemed unfazed by this storm of storms. Perched on a high branch, covered by an umbrella of leaves, he glared at the night sky. It was murky, and depressing. You couldn't see one star in the sky. Not even the moon was brave enough o show its pale face to this monster.

Hiei yawned and stretched. He had been out here for quite some time, enjoying the thunders rude company. Hiei had always liked the rain and thunder. The violent battles between nature soothed him, making him feel peaceful.

But, he figured, it was time to find better shelter. He remembered that he had three places to go: Yusuke's, Kurama's, and Genkai's. God forbid that he even steps foot on Kuwabara's door step.

Hiei glared when he also remembered that Yusuke was on a hiking trip with his mom, sister, Kurama's mom, and Kurama, and wouldn't be back until next week. This left him with Genkai's temple. In a flash of black, he flitted towards the temple.

Yukina sat at the wooden table, sipping her hot tea. She had just finished a day's work of chores, and decided to relax by enjoying a piping hot cup of tea. The young demon shivered slightly, and wrapped her shawl around her body, warming herself up a bit. She thought it was funny, how an ice demon such as herself, would be cold. But tonight was unrealistically fierce.

There was a fait whooshing sound, and when she stood up, there was Hiei. Drenched with rain, little droplets of water collected themselves at the ends of his gravity-defying hair, and rolled off like beads.

Yukina jumped out of her eat to tend to him.

"Mr. Hiei," she fretted, "You're soaking wet. Here, let me go grab you a towel, and some cry clothes. You'll catch a cold." And before Hiei could object to his sister wasting her time on him, the girl vanished.

Yukina flitted between her room, Genkai's, and guest rooms, frantically looking for clothes that would fit Mr. Hiei. Eventually, she found a pair of grey and black pajama bottoms, and a black shirt. She held the pants up, and sighed. They were a little long, but it was better than nothing. She closed the bedroom door behind her, and left (she was in a guest room). A large towel in her arms, she scampered towards the kitchen, making sure that Hiei wouldn't have to wait very long.

"Here, you go, Mr. Hiei," she said, hanging him the towel. He took, and dried his hair.

"And here are some dry clothes," he took the bundle from her arms.

About fifteen minutes later, Hiei's old clothes were hanging by the fire place, and he was enjoying a hot cup of tea with his sister. She had somehow convinced him to stay. With a very persuasive tone, she assured him that she didn't want him out in such whether, and would feel much better if he would stay the night, or at the very least, until the storm cleared.

Hiei looked down at his feet. His toes barley stuck out at the bottoms of his pants. It was a perfect fit around the waist, but he could hardly see his own feet.

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Hiei?" Yukina inquired. The fire demon shook his head.

"Don't call 'Mr. Hiei', Yukina." His voice was monotone. He disliked it when his sister was so formal with him. Just a simple, 'Hiei' would do quite nicely.

She nodded, and took another sip, welcoming the hot liquid as it warmed her throat.

Hiei sat in silence for a while, studying his sister. It had been, what? A year since he last saw her? Six months?

No, four. Yes, he remembered now. He had been called back for an assignment in Mukuro's territory, to slaughter an opposing village. After his duties were accomplished, he was allowed a two month vacation period, which he used to spend some time with either Yusuke, Kurama, or Yukina.

He continued to observe her. He noticed that when she stood up, she had grown a bit. He knew he would always be taller, but it wasn't hard for him to notice that she put on a couple of inches or so.

Her hair had grown longer too. It nearly reached her waist. It was kept back in her usual pony-tail. Soft, blue tresses framed her angelic face, and her red eyes held a softness in them, as always.

She looks just like our mother Hiei concluded, mentally nodding his approval. His sister had changed so much since he last saw her.

"It's so nice to see you again, Hiei." She smiled. The only thing that hadn't changed, was her kindness and hospitality.

A soft, "hn," was his answer. Yukina smiled, taking it as a, "You too, Yukina." She took her last sip, and washed the cup out in the sink. She filled the cup with water, and washed it out with a lemon scented soap. When she was done, she dried it, and put it in the cupboard.

"How are things with Lord Mukuro?" she asked him. He handed her his now empty cup.

"Hn, good," he retorted, "how are things with you, Yukina?" Yukina shrugged.

"Good, I suppose, but…"

But what? Was she unhappy? He would kill anyone who dared make Yukina unhappy.

"Hiei, could I ask you something?" She quietly requested. He nodded.

"Have you, by any chance, found my brother yet?" She looked at him with hope in her eyes, but half expected the answer to be no.

He shook his head.

"No, Yukina, I have not." The softness in her eyes was replaced by that of sadness.

"Oh," she mumbled quietly, "Well, thanks anyway." He turned to leave for his room.

"Uh, Hiei…" he stopped in his tracks.

"You'll keep looking, right?"

He turned his head in her direction. After a while, he said,

"You have my word." And within seconds, he was gone.

Authors Note: I need some improvement. But, at the same time, I like this story.

And I know I should be working on P.R. I just ran out of ideas. So, I'm going to be writing other stories in the mean time, and hopefully I'll come up with an appetizing chapter.

Sure hope everyone liked my story. This is going to be a short story, about three chapters total. If you have any suggestions, please let me know in your reviews.
