Spare Thy Time

(As I said, I do NOT own YYH nor the characters. I just write fiction's about them.)

It was a warm summer day, and Hiei was at Genkai's temple visiting. The cherry blossom tree was blown gently by the wind.

Hiei sat down next to Yukina in front of the temple gates. Yukina brushed away a strand of hair from her face, "So, um Hiei how have you been?" she asked nervously.

"Good." He said blankly while staring at the fallen cherry blossoms. "That's good…" Yukina began to twist her hair around her finger biting her lip nervously. Hiei got up and began to walk to the back of the temple.

He stopped and looked at Yukina who was still sitting in the same spot, "Are you coming or not?" She quickly got up and walked a distance behind him respecting his space.

He stopped and Yukina bumped into his back, "Oh, I'm sorry…" she back up a little bit and sat down on the grass. The wind blew ever so gentle again, "Have you spoken to the others?" she lifted her head up and looked at him with a small surprised look on her face.

"Well…Kazuma has been calling constantly…Keiko and Yusuke came past to visit last week…" she paused for a moment, "And Kurama came yesterday." Hiei turned around and lay down on the grass next to Yukina sighing.

"Seems like everything is drifting…" he said under his breath. "Um, Hiei?" Yukina looked at him smiling, "Hm?"

Yukina blushed nervously, "Do you think you can help me pick the fruits from the tree? I wanted to make Genkai a fruit basket…" Hiei sat up and shrugged, "Sure. I don't really have anything better to do."

'Life doesn't come cheap. But the scars still hurt…' Hiei thought to himself and got up extending a hand to Yukina. She smiled and gladly accepted his help. They both made their way to the trees and Yukina grabbed a nearby basket and handed it to Hiei for him to hold.

Yukina began to talk to him about the times Kurama had got yelled at by Genkai yesterday, and they both began laughing. Hiei looked up at the cherry blossom tree, 'They'll never heal but, even though you think we are so far away…we are still so close…'

~~Hope you enjoy this story of Hiei and Yukina. This is after the detectives became ex-detectives and about 8 months before the story "The Dead Detectives" I shall continue to write meh stories.
