I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. Deal with it.

Letter
A letter sat innocently at the top of the stars to a shrine. It was weighed down by a small, black, box. The early morning sun shined down on it coldly, as if it hated the letter and all it stood for.

The front of the letter simply read;

Yukina

And aqua-haired girl, looking to be about 15, came out of a nearby building, holding a broom. She noticed the letter and the box, and reached for the letter.

The letter was to her, and, though she did not know who would write to her, she opened it, reading:

Dear Yukina,

It is hard for me to write this, and I am ashamed to say that I could not tell you this to you face, but you need to know. I… There is no delicate way to say this.

Yukina, I am your brother. I have known for a very long time, since I acquired my Jagan Eye. I was not brave enough to tell you. I was and still am sure that now that you know who your brother is, you wish that you did not have one. I myself wish that you where not my sister. I wish very greatly that it was someone else, that you had a brother who deserved you. Who would not taint you. I did not tell you because I am a thief and a murderer. I knew that you would not accept me. I also knew that I would not be able to handle the rejection. I will disappear now, to the place that has been calling to me for so long. The place I have longed for, the place where I can at last find peace. I pray that you will live a long and happy life; that you will forget about me and marry and have children…

…But know this, Yukina: I will always love you.

Your brother,

Hiei

The girl, apparently named Yukina, opened the box, and gasped. Sitting innocently in the box was a silver chain. But the chain was not what made her gasp. No, it was what was on the chain that made her gasp.

A single, crystallized, black tear.

It hung delicately on the chain, and as Yukina stared at it, she saw something that shocked her to that very bone.

There, no, all over, the tear. It was engraved. It said the same thing, over and over again.

I will always love you, my sister.

Yukina collapsed to the ground, crying for the brother she had both known and not known. Her tears clattered on the ground, some falling down the steps. One, though, the first one she had shed, she closed her fist around, wishing with all her might that it would be carried to her brother, to Hiei, by the wind that took away her next words.

"I too, will always love you, brother."
