His answer does not surprise me. He never was one to talk. A smile at him. My heart is very glad to see him safe. His red gaze looks at me. Yet no expression is shown. I then get up off my bed. I straighten my shirt and then look back at him. Now he is seated on my window sill. His eyes are looking at the sky. It looks like a scene from a while ago. This was how it used to be. Before he stayed away. Sadness threatens me. I fight it. I do not wish to spoil my time with him.

" Hiei? Are you hungry?" I ask him. I remember how hard it can be living in the demon world. Sometimes one didn't eat for days.

I wait for his answer. I look at him again. I can not help myself. He is after all staring out my window. My eyes go over him Longley. I can not help but wonder what it would be like to kiss him. To have his arms warped around mine. Then he turns toward me.

" Hn. You got some sweet snow?" He asked me.

I look at him. My smile grows wider. Ever since I first gave him some ice cream he has grown to love it. He even gave it a new name. My heart skips a beat as I remember it. It was on my birthday. He had stopped by to get away from the rain. It was coming down hard. Everyone had left for home. I was alone in my room reading a new book from my mother. A tap on my window got my attention. Their was a wet and angry looking Hiei. I put my book down and went and opened my window. He went inside as soon as I moved out of his way. He glared at me. I could not help but laugh at him behind my hand. After I gave him a change of clothing and went and hung his clothing to dry on a chair in my room. I asked him if he was hungry. He said yes and I brought up some food that was left. I also brought him a piece of cake.

" What is that?" He said to me.

" It is cake. My mother made it for my birthday. We celebrate the day we are born with presents, cake, and Ice cream."

" What is This ice cream?" H said

" Eat your food and I shall give you some."

We sat there me on my bed and him on my floor. He ate all the food I gave him very fast. It was much like someone who had not had food in awhile. Then he looked at me. This whole time he didn't speak. But I was happy and comfortable with him there. We sat there for awhile till he asked to have some ice cream. I went and got some. All we had was chocolate. After one bite I could tell that Hiei was hooked. His eyes had a dreamy look. One that I am sure no one else had ever seen on the fire demon. Yet it was there. He would kill me if I told anyone else. That was when he said that ice cream was a stupid name for it. It reminded him of snow. Sweet snow.

My silence lasted to long. I can tell because now Hiei is standing in front of me. He looks at me like I lost my mind. I shook my head. Then look at him.

" Sorry, I was thinking over things my teacher said today. Yes we have some. Would you like anything else?" I ask him heading for my door.

" No." Is all he says.

I leave and get the ice cream. As I go downstairs I see that my parents are now in the living room. My mother is resting her head on her husbands shoulder. I feel a twinge of jealousy ran through me. Would I ever have that? I wonder as I walk passed them. As I near the kitchen a voice holds me back.

" Shuichi? Are you feeling better? You look happier than you did when you came home?" She says. Her head is now sitting straight up. Her eyes look into mine with a deep worry.

" I am fine mother. I needed to rest that is all. May I have some ice cream?" I ask her. Eagar to get it and go back to Hiei.

" Yes you may my son. Just make sure you bring the bowl down when you are finished." She says with a smile.

" Shuichi, If you ever need anything or just need to talk know that your mother and I would be pleased to help you." My step father says.

I smile at him. Then I thank both of them for caring so much. I ask where my step bother is. They say he is over a friends for the night. I promise to bring the empty bowl down when I am finished. I lean down and give my mother a kiss on her cheek,. Then I go and get his ice cream. I make sure to fill up the bowl. I then go back into my room.

When I get there Hiei is back at staring out the window. I wonder if he is thinking about Yukina. I know how much she means to him. I also know that he doesn't feel like he deserves her love. I wish that he would tell her. Both of them would be so much happier if he did. Maybe some day He will be able to tell her. I then walk over to him. I hold out the bowl like a peace offering.

" I am back Hiei. Here is your sweet snow!"

I turn away from the fox. I find it easier to act indifferent if my gaze is not on him. I look toward the human sky. The moon is out and is shown very bright. Stars dance around it making more light to shine. The night is clear. I wish my mind was. I try to clear my head. Pushing my thoughts and feelings back inside. Then I hear him ask if I am hungry. I ate before coming so I am not hungry. But it had been awhile since I had some sweet snow. I wonder if Kurama has any?

" Hn. ?You got some sweet snow?" I ask him.

Kurama then gets a weird look in his eyes. I wait for an answer for a few minutes. He has not moved a inch. His eyes look glazed over. What is that Baka Kitsune thinking of? I get off my seat and move over towards him. I expect him to move. Least to know I am closer to him. I look into his big green eyes. HE then shakes his head.

" Sorry, I was thinking over things my teacher said today. Yes we have some. Would you like anything else?" He says as he moves toward the door. I can tell he is happy that I want something to eat. He worries way to much about his friends welfare. I think.

" No." Is all I say. Why add more when that is all that is needed.

He goes to get my sweet snow and I turn back towards his window. I have been at this spot many times. ?I look around his room. It has not changed much since I known him. His room is always neat. It always seems to comfort me also. Not only can I smell Kurama but I can feel him. I have been hanging around humans to much. I am beginning to think like one. I then go back to look at the stars.

As I free my mind I wonder what it would be like to be loved. TO know that someone was willing to be there for you no matter what. Then I wonder what it would be like to have Kurama's love. What it would feel like to hold him.

I hear him coming down the hall. Most would not. His steps are always light. I hear him come towards me. I wait for him to speak first.

" I am back Hiei. Here is your sweet snow!" He says.

I turn around to see him holding it out to me. I grab it. I begin to eat it. The first bite melts in my mouth and tastes so good. I am thankful the fox shared this human custom with me.
