Prologue
Yusuke walks in the front door carrying a bundle of envelopes. He flips quickly through, but stops as the name on one of them catches his eye.
"Hey, Kurama, you've got a letter. No return address, though." Yusuke passes the letter to the redheaded boy.
Kurama frowns as he slips a finger under the glued flap and takes out the neatly folded letter.
Kurama's green eyes look to the bottom of the letter immediately for the name of the sender, "Oh, what do you know. Wonder why the change of method?" He looks back to Yusuke, "Is there a letter in there for Hiei?"
Yusuke's eyebrows furrow in confusion as he flits through the envelopes again, "Nope. Why?"
Kurama just shakes his head.
Hiei sits on his windowsill and stares out the window. Something he had made a habit of doing in the past few years.
He always thinks about the same things as he sits there, staring into space. His sister, his next actions, and a few various other things, but what he thinks about the most is the sensei that left him one hundred and fifteen years ago and never came back.
He knows she's alive. She sends him a letter every month. This month, however, her letter has yet to suddenly appear by his waiting hand.
How she knows where he is to even send the letters is a mystery to Hiei. He suspects, though, that Kurama, in responding to her letters, tells his precious sister everything she could ever wish to know.
Hiei hears his name being said by the kitsune and it catches his attention as he also catches the word letter in association with his name. He turns to the fox.
"A letter? Who would send –" Kurama cuts him off.
"Ah, yours was sent with mine. Here you are, Hiei."
Hiei takes the folded parchment from the kitsune's hand, genuinely curious.
Yusuke and Kuwabara hurry over in their own curiosity.
"Could it be from a girl? Or a secret admirer of some sort?" Kuwabara inquires.
"Hn. Fool, why would I be receiving a letter from some woman?"
"Aw, c'mon, Hiei! Anything could happen, right?" says Yusuke, elbowing the fire apparition in the ribs. Hiei just rolls his eyes and unfolds the letter. His eyes widen.
This tortures the two delinquent's curiosity even more. Who would send a letter to Kurama and Hiei at the same time? To answer their mental questions, Kurama and Hiei speak at the same time.
"It's from my sister!"
"It's from my sensei!"
Yusuke does a double take at the two demons.
"Kurama, you have a sister?" Yusuke interrogates the fox demon.
Kurama rubs the back of his neck, "Oh? I didn't tell you? Heh, must have slipped my mind. Yes, Yusuke, I do. She's also Hiei's sensei."
Kuwabara gapes at Hiei, "So, it is from a girl!"
Hiei continues reading, "Yes, but she isn't just any girl. She's…never mind. You'll find out."
Yusuke and Kuwabara look at him stupidly, "Huh?" they chorus.
Kurama looks at Hiei in shock from his letter, having finished reading it.
It's their turn to chorus, "She's coming to visit!"
