Chapter 1

I found myself in the familiar room again, but I didn't understand why I kept returning.

I walked upstairs, made my way down the hall to 'that' door. I manage to turn the knob, only to wake up again.

"What the hell is this supposed to mean!"

A girl with blue-green hair enters the room at the sudden outburst.

"Oni-chan, what's wrong?" Seeing that worried expression everyday, I feel guilty for hiding so much from my sister.

"It's nothing, just a dream." I see her stare, she doesn't believe me, but I can't burden her.

"If you say so, I've made breakfast, and Kazuma will be joining us, so will the rest of our friends."

She calls them friends, but friends don't abandon one another, if bonds are so strong, why did 'You' have to go.

"I still don't know what you see in that oaf, but if he makes you happy so be it. I don't want to see you suffer ever again."

The girl smiles softly and it makes the other wonder how she can smile when he can't.

"Yukina…"

"Yes oni-chan?"

"It's nothing, never mind. So when is everyone scheduled to arrive?"

"Not long form now, I'd give them half an hour. You have plenty of time to clean up; you might want to wake yourself up before Yusuke does it." Those words made him cranky; the last thing he needed to hear was Yusuke's booming voice.

"Are you sure I can't just stay in bed?"

"Hiei," When his sister used his name in that tone, he knew he had to obey. She was scary, but that was probably the requirement for being his twin.

Once Hiei washed up, the voices of the two 'loudest fools' greeted him.

"Keiko lemme go, Kuwabara's asking for it!"

"As if Urameshi, bring it on!"

'Why me?' "Will you two buffoons shut up for once? You are disrespecting my sister's hard work"

"Oni-chan, it's alright. It's nice to have a lively place, really."

"Hn."

A blue haired girl stepped through the door at that moment.

"Good morning everyone! I hope you've saved some breakfast for me!"

"Botan, welcome, we were just about to start. Please have a seat; I'll go get the tea."

The girl known as Botan spoke smiling, "Look at us, just like old times!" The room was silent and Hiei shot her a death glare.

"I'm sorry, Hiei, I didn't mean to…"

"It doesn't matter. I could care less about that fox. He could be dead for all I know, he deserves it."

Everyone knew better than to confront Hiei, they let the subject drop and Yukina walked in.

"There's no point in being down, I arranged this so we'd celebrate mine and Kazuma's five year anniversary."

Everyone congratulated the couple except for Hiei. Yusuke was first to speak, "What do you mean anniversary?"

"Yusuke you dummy. How could you not have noticed, it's obvious that Yukina and Kuwabara have been a couple for a while now. That's why I tell you to stick around longer."

Botan was there to back up Keiko, "That's right you wouldn't know anything about this kind of thing. Young love, so Kuwabara, when are you going to pop the ques… Ow…Koenma, what did you do that for?"

Everybody: "Koenma?!"

"No need to be surprised, I came with some information, Hiei, I'd like to speak to you in private."

Hiei scoffed, "I have no reason to talk to you. Go away!"

"Suit yourself, just know, we've located 'His' whereabouts. I'll be taking my leave now, congratulations Yukina and Kuwabara."

Koenma walked out the door, and Hiei disappeared in a flash seconds later.

"Hiei didn't even touch his food, I'll just help myself."

"Yusuke, don't even think about it."

"Why the hell did you come here Koenma? I was happy." Hiei spat the words out, he didn't care if someone heard him.

"I came to deliver a message, don't blame me. 'He' is still looking for you. He wants to…"

"He wants to what? Apologize? I spent five years waiting for him; it's too late for an apology."

Koenma sighed, "He knew you'd say that." As the spirit prince walked away he said, "He left one last message: 'You know where to find me when you change your mind.'"

Hiei watched Koenma disappear and he walked back inside to say his own farewells.
