.::Neona's POV::.

I sigh contently as I curl up closer to my source of warmth.

"Hiei," I mutter half asleep as I'm in that state between dream world and the land of awake.

"New Moon," Hiei says.

"Mhm," I answer without opening my eyes.

"Just checking it's you," he says without a care in his voice making it sound like he was just toying with me. I know Hiei though, he doesn't do anything without a reason and I can tell that the real reason he did that was because he wanted to hear my voice and know that I hadn't disappeared again.

"I finished my story," I tell him as I slowly begin to wake up.

"Do they all die in the end?"

"No, but the main character does die only for the antidote to be created less than a week later." I could tell that he was smirking a little just because this was his type of twisted ending. If I get lucky maybe he'll even read it, not likely but maybe.

I stand up, getting out of bed. By the lack of clothes on I can tell someone had changed me for bed, that someone being Hiei. Whenever Hiei changes me for bed I either have no pants or really short shorts with always one of my midriff night time shirts. I don't know why he always put me in one of those combinations when I prefer one of my fuzzy night time pants with a tank top for bed, but never with Hiei. This time it was no pants and a midriff shirt.

"Where are you going," Hiei asks me as he glares a little in my direction.

"I'm just getting my laptop," I tell him without even looking back at him as I leave to my room. I was happy to see that my laptop was exactly where I left it on my desk by my bed. I quickly grab it than head back to Hiei's room across the hall.

Once I was back in his room I went straight to work. Hiei simply lays next to me watching me type away and enjoying my presence as I enjoy his as well. I missed the smell of his scent and the peaceful calm that came with being around him. I've missed this so much. It's the one thing I never got in Tama Uchi. Just seeing him wasn't the same as actually being with him even if I was seeing everything through their eyes.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"What Fox," Hiei calls.

"May I come in," my brother calls.

Over my time in Tama Uchi I grew to come to terms with the fact that Kurama is my half brother. I liked him and all, but I just hadn't quite come to terms with it. I probably won't start calling him my brother right off the back, but I think he's a good guy. Yusuke and Kuwabara were like annoying little brothers that never cease to amuse me. Botan was the annoying preppy aunt that for some reason you still kind of liked. Yukina was the cute younger sister. Keiko was almost like a caring mother to everyone. We were like a big family.

Wait! A big family! I can do my portrait on this family!

I quickly push save on the lap top then jump out of bed tossing the laptop to the side and make a mad dash to my room. I head straight for my paints by my easel and pull them out every color I'll possibly need and a light sketching pencil. With a single detailed image in my head I sketch what it MY family. The image contained everyone in our family, even Puu or pet, and the back ground is what held my message. Family is not blood but a scene of care and love for each other. Blood was on the side as dripping but all around us it was absent. Around us was a world of our own where blood was absent because we were not a family of blood, but by a red string bonding us all together and butterflies representing the butterfly effect. Kuwabara and Yusuke were bickering and fighting as Keiko tries to break them up. Botan was running around with her oar chasing Puu. Kurama was just shaking his head as he held a book in his hand while Yukina stood by him chuckling softly. Hiei was up in a tree sleeping with me in his lap watching all of them.

I don't know how many hours went by while I was painting, but I was covered in paint smears on my face, my legs, and a few on my stomach and mid drift. All I care about is that I'm finally almost done with my painting.

"Neona, please come down for dinner." It was Kurama as he called from the other side of my door.

"I'm not done yet," I call back without taking my eyes off of my painting for one second. I had to get every little detail down. I had to make sure it represented my meaning and showed what I wanted it to. It had to be perfect. It had to win first place with the rest of my work.

"You need to eat though. You haven't eaten today and none of your other forms ate either."

"My work comes first," I tell him.

"But," something stopped him only to soon be followed by a pair of faint footsteps. Since they were leaving I paid no attention to them any longer.

Some time goes by before someone bothers me again. It was Hiei, of course, as he silently enters my room without warning. He silently makes his way over to me and sets a plate of sliced apples and pealed orange. I look at it for a second then grab an orange with my free hand and munch on it absent mindedly while painting. Since I didn't hear the door open and close again I can only assume that Hiei stayed here with me as I continued to work on the painting.

"Take a shower it's almost midnight," Hiei orders me.

"It's not-"

"I said, take a shower." His voice was stern and without lean way. I sigh knowing from past attempts, that I had told him I would later and he focused me too, I had no say in the matter. Getting up I head towards the bathroom to take my shower, but on my way Hiei grabs my arm. I turn and to look at him, but he just stares at me with this look in his eyes I've never quiet seen before.

I watch him and slowly he begins to lean forwards towards my stomach. I wanted to say something, anything really just so I could understand what he was doing. This was so out of his personality and it worried me greatly. As he gets closer to my stomach I can feel his hot breath hitting it and it causes me to suck in. This wasn't normal at all.

"Are you scared," Hiei's voice was dark and thick.

"No," I tell him stern, though my erratic heartbeat would say otherwise. He leans in a little closer towards me and flicks his tongue out licking my stomach. I gasp a little disturbed by his sudden change in personality. It felt very nice, though, as his tongue traveled upwards. I felt myself a little sadden when he stops, a part of me wanted Hiei to continue.

I look a tHiei for a little as he looks up at me that look still in his eyes. I was flushed with a deeper red that his crimson red eyes.

"I-I need to go shower off." I turn my back towards Hiei and try to make my steps measured and paced as I make my way to the bathroom as fast as I can without running.

I start the shower, strip down, and get in, but I do not shower. I stand under the water that's hot enough to turn my skin pink with heat, but I was so confused and startled I just couldn't focus on something as washing my hair and washing my body. It didn't matter too much since the paint comes off in the water.

As I turn the water off I hear my door shut. I dry myself off and without much more being done I just crawl in bed, curl up in a ball and begin thinking deeply to myself.

.::Hiei's POV::.

I was so stupid! I couldn't resist her as she stood there with paint smudges across her body. It's growing harder to resist her! I'm going to do something stupid before I can make her mine.

"Neona's energy feels stressed, what'd you do to her Hiei?" Fox sounded calm and collect, but his under tone of a threat as his protective instincts he's acquired for New Moon takes over.

"Nothing that concerns you," I snap from my window sill in my bedroom that he entered without permission.

"Everything about her welfare concerns me."

"She's only your half sister that you met a week ago, she means nothing to you."

"While you on the other hand want to mate with her?"

"Fox," I warn ready to kill him. My blood was boiling and he was pushing his luck. "Just leave me," I turn my back towards him and resume glaring out the window.
