I have today off! And I had yesterday off too! And probably tomorrow too! I love snow days! ^-^ Oddly enough, winter is my least favorite season. It's pretty, but cold! And I walk to school! ::shiver:: Anyway, I'm sorry that I'm not working on my 'Little Ice Youkai' story but I'm having writers block, so this is something to keep people satisfied. No like I have anyone that has read all of my stories. T-T

Shishi: Wonder why?

...Yeah, seriously, I never understood that.

Title: My Brother's Blood: A Story of Resentment

Rated: PG13

By: Hiei_mi

~~~

My name is Yukina, of the koorime. My mother committed suicide when my brother and I were born. Ahh... my dear, sweet brother. He was 'The Forbidden Child'. The only male in our Ice Maiden society. Of course, his kind could not be aloud to taint our soil. He was banished, thrown into the icy climates of Makai. My mother was devastated. All she cared about was her precious son. I was not enough for her. So she killed herself. She left me alone. Like my brother. This was all my brother's fault. If he had never been born, I would not be an outcast. My mother would be alive. And I... would have my normal, perfect life.

If only I knew you. You are not worthy of a life. You are not worthy of a simple death, either. Many wish to die sleeping, dreaming. That is beautiful, you say. But it is not. Crimson red blood flowing smoothly from your body.. That is beautiful. A chorus of hoarse screams from your scratchy throat. That is soothing. I will find you brother.

~~~

"Yukina, are you all right?" My blood-red eyes look up, matching your own. I never noticed, that our eyes matched. You have always been so nice to me. Like a brother. Like my dear, sweet brother. But Hiei isn't dear, or sweet. He's nice to me, I admit, but I've seen him glare and be mean, all the time. In fact, I think I'm the only one I've seen him be nice to. I feel like you really ARE my brother. But I don't think you are that brother that left, me and Mother alone. I feel like you are... the brother that I've always looked up too. You're the one who guided me. When things got bad, and I wanted to cry, you're the brother that has always been there for me. So, no I don't hate you, Onni-san.
"I'm fine, Hiei!" I think my smile cheers you up... just a little.

Ok, that was kinda confusing. I think I'd like to clear that up. Ok, Yukina DOES hate Hiei, in a sense, but she could never kill him, and really does love him. Ok, get it. I was kinda confused until I looked at what I wrote carefully. Oh, and Yukina doesn't know that Hiei is her brother. But she feels like he is her brother. Just sibling instinct, I guess. So, review please! And flames are sadly accepted. ^^;;

Shishi: Aren't you angsty today?

Naw, but Yukina sure is!

Shishi: -_-
