Thank you so much for reviewing. My love goes out to you. Here, Hiei and Kurama plushies for all (throws plushies to the crowd)

And to the people who read, but don't review: I know you're out there. I'll get you. NO PLUSHIES FOR YOU!!!!!!!

Hiei POV

I managed to retreat to my room without any troubles, or more conversations with Yukina. She wanted me to stay the night. Not wanting to upset her, I agreed. I didn't plan on staying for very long. Once the storm was over, I intended to leave, perhaps even return to Makai for a few months.

As I lay on the hard bed (I still wasn't used to these ningen contraptions), I found myself in deep thought over my sister.

"Have you, by any chance, found my brother yet?"

Why can't she understand that I'm not worthy of being her brother? It highly annoyed me that she still searches for something that will never be found, yet she still persists in her silly little quest.

I am rouge, and a criminal. I have killed, I have sinned. Yukina doesn't deserve a monster as worthless as I. She is innocent and pure. I do not wish to taint her with my wretched past. I just want her to be happy, and to forget about her brother. She should just learn to accept that her dear old brother is dead.

Third Person POV

Yukina ambled her way into her room. A pair of fuzzy, white slippers adorned her small feet, keeping them warm.

She placed her folded robes on top of the dresser, and sat on the bed.

I wonder how Mister Hiei is doing. She wondered as she looked out the window. The storm had gotten worse. The wind had gotten even angrier, and now it was blowing branches clean through the air. Hail stones got bigger, and pounded on her window, like a violent hurricane of punches. Thunder and lightning clashed together in battle. But, Yukina didn't seem to mind; she had been through far worse than a storm (A/n: that was a reference to the Tarukane incident). (1)

She lifted the covers, and crawled under.

"Goodnight, my brother," she whispered to no one, and fell asleep.

Scene Change

The storm had passed, which was a surprise to many. The screams and howls were so loud, it seemed like it would go on for a week.

Outside, large puddles had been dried up by the sun's gleaming rays. Yukina had just woken up, and when she did, she instantly knew that Hiei was gone. He had promised her he'd stay, but only until the storm let up. Chances were that he had already left.

She wondered if he went back to the Makai. Hiei felt no attachment to the Ningenkai. He might have gone back to complete another mission for Mukuro. Either way, Yukina didn't think too much of it. She knew Hiei would not want her to worry about him. So, she threw off her covers, and focused on the activities that lay ahead of her that day.

Hiei POV

I had left the dojo before Yukina woke up. It had stopped raining, but the night sky still had some life left in it. I could barley see the silver moon trying to break free.

Now it was day time. As I looked over at the sun, I could tell it was somewhere around 11:00. I had been gone for over eight hours.

I was now in a tree not far from town. (2) In fact, I could see it from where I was perched. I noticed that those tall metal boxes, something humans called 'trash cans' had been knocked about by the strong winds last night. The contents were dispersed all over the streets. I crinkled my nose as the putrid stench made its way up to me (3). Tree branches had been ripped from the trees, and leaves and twigs covered the sidewalk.

I intended to stop by Kurama's. The fox sent me a text message on the cell phone he gave me last Christmas (Kurama had to teach me how to use it), saying that he was back home early from the hike. Apparently, his mother had gotten sick, and they had to come home.

As I flitted from tree to tree, I wondered if Kurama had any advice for me. It didn't take long to reach his house.

I peered into his window, perched on the very top branch of the tree that reached his window. The fox was sitting on his bed, reading a book. Not wanting to waste any time (something that I always hated); I jumped through the open window. As soon as my feet hit the carpet, Kurama's attention left his book, and went to me. I inwardly smirked; he always did have superior hearing.

"Hello, Hiei," Kurama gave me a warm smile, "What brings you here." I kicked off my boots, and sat at his desk, propping my feet on the table, and leaned back into the chair.

"You know perfectly well, Kurama." I glared at him. Kurama shook his head, smiling. He put the book down, and moved his position, so that he was facing me.

"Is this about Yukina?" He inquired.

"You already know the answer to that." I snapped. Kurama sighed.

"Hiei, if you're so bothered by her asking, why do you not just tell her the truth?" I shook my head.

"That's an answer I refuse to abide by. Kurama. Yukina does not need to know the truth. You know of my past. Do you think she deserves to have such a burden as a brother?" I removed my feet.

"Kurama, do you not keep from your mother that you are a demon?" I couldn't help but smirk. I knew I was right. I was going to win this one way or another

"I keep that from my mother for many reasons, Hiei." I inwardly growled. Baka kitsune. He always new how to counter any obstacle I threw at him.

"As do I," I was even more determined to settle this, "I am just going to tell Yukina that her precious brother is dead. This has been going on too long, and it is high time I did something about it." As I was getting up to leave, Kurama moved in front of me. I frowned.

"Get out of my way, Fox!" I snarled. He didn't.

"Listen, Hiei. I know that you have your doubts. But do you honestly think that telling Yukina that her brother is dead will fix this? Do you think that it'll make everything better?"

Before he could say anything else, I was gone. And yet, I could still her that faint, "Just think about what I said."

Hn. I would be plagued with Kurama's words, as well as my sister's face. And so, as I sat down on a branch, I thought about both Kurama and Yukina, and then surrendered to a world of merciless dreams.

Note explanations:

1) Uh...yes, the Tarukane Arc. I don't know exactly how long Yukina was kept a prisoner of Tarukane, but after that kind of physical and mental torture (In the manga on page 90, while Yusuke and Kuwabara are fighting Toguro, Tarukane grabs Yukina's chin and tells her to keep watching, and also says that, "This is how it is for anyone who tries to save you!! Like last time! Remember?!" Yukina instantly remembers how a young man working under Tarukane had attempted to save her, but was caught and gunned down. I think that when Tarukane said that to her, he was trying to make her believe that it was her fault the man died. Yeah...uh...no more ramblings, that was just my theory. And please, you guys, don't get into a debate about this. Aren't the forums for those kinds of things?)

2) Oh, we all know that Hiei has abnormally super fast speed, so, I assumed, hey, if he's so damn fast, why not put him in a tree that looks over the city in less than two seconds?

3) Hiei's a demon, so I kind of thought that since he's a demon, his senses of smell would be much stronger than a human's.

Ok, I lied, more rambling!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter Two is done!!!!!! Ok, yeah, really sorry if Kurama wasn't in character. But this is the first time I've actually tried a shot at Kurama (unless you count P.R.) so, I think I did my best…

What the hell am I talking about? That bloody sucked. I really need to re-watch the series.

Ehh…so maybe not that bad.

Thanks again to all my reviewers!!!!! You guys ROCK!!!!!!!!

Oh, and review P.R. Dag nabbit!!!!!!!
