Sorry the update took awhile but I haven't been able to get on the net since my last update. And when I finally get back on I discover I can't upload any more chapters. Has anyone else noticed some problems? I bet your all wondering what the surprise is so I'll stop bickering.

Chapter 33

Confession

Three days have past since Riku and Yukina's first date. Riku, Hiei, and Kurama had gone on a mission the day after that only demons could do.

Riku was now freshening up after a hard day of training. Kurama and Hiei were over and Yukina was making dinner for them. Riku put his hair in a ponytail and headed for the living room.

Kurama was on the couch and Hiei was standing in his corner. Riku decided now will be a good time to ask Kurama something that had been bugging him. "Hey Kurama?" Riku said as he sat down. "Yes?" Kurama replied. "When me and Yukina got back from our date why was Hiei tied up, Yusuke unconscious, and you with a black eye?" Riku asked. Kurama looked nervously at Hiei who didn't seem to have heard. "It's a long story" Kurama said.

Flashback

Sweet snow had been distributed to everyone. Hiei was doing his best not to look like he was enjoying every bite. Good thing that sweet snow idea came or Hiei might be slicing Riku to pieces by now. I still can't believe this stuff is his only weakness Kurama thought as he took another bite. He chuckled to himself when he saw Hiei sneak a few more scoops into his bowl behind everyone's backs.

"I wonder what those two are doing now?" Keiko said as she finished her bowl. "They should be at the movie by now" Botan replied. "I doubt they went to watch a movie" Yusuke said. "Then why go?" Botan asked. "It's dark and the movie drowns out all other noises. Keiko and me never watch the movies. We…" he was cutoff when Keiko slapped him. "That's enough Yusuke" she said through clenched teeth.

Hiei had already gotten the idea. That mangy wolf, he'd better keep his hands off my sister he thought.  He slammed his bowl on the table, which startled everyone. "Don't get in my way" Hiei said as he stomped to the window. Kurama was about to offer him more sweet snow but he saw Yusuke chug the last scoops in his mouth. Maybe I should tell him about Hiei's weakness he thought. Hiei was motioning to open the window.

"Yusuke" Kurama said. Yusuke nodded and they both held back the feisty fire demon. "Let go of me" Hiei said while thrashing around. "Your not…HEY he bit me!!!" Yusuke said as he let go to nurse the bite mark on his arm. Hiei then kicked him in the head, which knocked him out. Kurama pinned him onto a nearby seat and planted some vines under it. They sprouted and tied up Hiei. "When I get out of here, I'll give you a buzz cut!!!" Hiei yelled. Kurama sweatdropped as Hiei continued to make threats and yell profanities. He got a rag and tried to gag Hiei with it. Hiei head butted him in his eye giving him the black eye. Kurama fell back on his but.

"Kurama, are you okay?" Botan asked as she leaned next to him. "My eye" Kurama groaned. "Keiko, go get an ice bag" Botan said to Keiko, who was trying to revive Yusuke. Keiko nodded and rushed into the kitchen. "You had it coming fox" Hiei said as he struggled to get free. Botan was thoroughly pissed at Hiei by now. She grabbed the gag and after a minute Hiei was reduced to mumbling.

"Here's the ice" Keiko said as she ran back in. Botan grabbed it and handed it to her boyfriend. "Hold this to your eye" she said. Kurama winced as he placed it on his black eye. Botan sighed and sat on the couch. 'I'll get you back' Hiei said to her telepathically. Botan tried to hide behind a pillow but it was a lot smaller than her. 'Don't think your safe either' he said to Keiko. She joined Botan on the couch.

End Flashback

"At least your eye's fully healed" Riku said. "Let me ask you something" Kurama said. "And what might that be?" said Riku. "Did you two really watch the movie?" Kurama asked smirking. "Would you want to miss a second of The Matrix Reloaded?" Riku replied. Kurama decided that was a good enough answer. "I think I should be leaving" Kurama said as he stood up. "Tell Yukina I said goodbye" he said as he walked out the door. Riku sat still awhile longer and went outside to train. 

"Where's everyone?" Yukina asked as she walked back in. "Kurama's going home and the wolf is training Hiei replied. He stood up and walked out the front door. He was about to flit off when Yukina grabbed his sleeve. "What is it?" Hiei asked though he knew what was coming. "Have you found my brother?" Yukina asked. "No" Hiei replied. "Oh, thanks for trying" she said sadly. She turned around and headed back inside.

Riku heard the whole thing. That's it; I can't stand seeing her so sad he thought. He wind morphed to Hiei.

Hiei was about to flit off again when a voice stopped him. "Why are you lying to her?" Riku asked. Hiei looked over and saw the wolf leaning against the wall. "What are you talking about wolf?" Hiei replied. "Don't play dumb with me. Or have you forgotten my sense of smell?" Riku said. Hiei's eyes widened a little. "You and Yukina have almost identical scents. The only difference is that yours is a boy's and hers is a girl's scent" Riku said.

Hiei knew he was caught. "What are you gonna do about it?" Hiei asked trying his best to hide his nervousness. "It's not what I'm going to do, it's what your going to do" Riku replied. Hiei tilted his head. "You're going to tell her the truth" Riku said. "And you're going to make me?" Hiei asked. "Either you tell her or I'll tell her. Either way, she will find out" Riku replied. Hiei made a motion to flit off. "Don't try it. I'm way faster than you when I wind morph" Riku said. Hiei stopped in his tracks.

"Now come on" Riku said standing up straight and opening the door for him. Hiei sighed in defeat and followed Riku in. "Remember, I have all escape routes covered" Riku whispered before walking over to a corner and leaning against the wall.

"Riku, dinner's rea…oh Hiei I thought you left" Yukina said cheerfully. Hiei glances over to Riku who was watching his every move. He turned back to Yukina. "Yukina, there's something I have to tell you" Hiei said. "What is it?" Yukina asked. "It's about your brother" Hiei replied. "What is it, is he hurt or something?" Yukina asked worriedly. "N-No, no he's fine. I should know" Hiei said. "What do you mean?" Yukina asked. "Yukina, I…I…I'm your brother" Hiei said. Yukina's eyes widened in surprise. Hiei wondered how she would react. He saw tears run down her check but to his surprise they were tears of joy. "Oh Hiei" she said happily while she threw her arms around his neck. "Your… your not mad at me?" Hiei asked in surprise. "Why would I be mad at you?" Yukina asked. "I've lied to you from the beginning and I've killed thousands in my life. How could you be happy with a twin like me?" Hiei asked. "The fact that you're my brother is all it takes" Yukina replied. Hiei smiled a genuine smile. He returned the hug. "I sorry I didn't tell you sooner" he said. "It's alright" Yukina replied.

When they finally separated Yukina was out of tears. "Don't cry anymore sister" Hiei said whipping the tears away. They heard the sound of silver wear hitting a plate. Hiei looked over to the corner and saw Riku had disappeared. They followed the sound and found Riku at the dinner table eating away. He had eaten most of it but left enough for Yukina. "That was delicious" he said as he patted his stomach. Hiei and Yukina both sweatdropped. He eats more than the ape Hiei thought. "Well time to train" Riku said as he got back up. "Riku" Yukina said. He stopped and gave her a quick peck on the lips. She blushed cause it was in front of her brother. Riku rushed out the door.

"I'd better take my leave" Hiei said as he headed for the door. "Come back soon" Yukina called to him as she sat down to eat what Riku had left.

Hiei found Riku training in his usual spot. "Wolf" Hiei said as he approached Riku. "Yea" Riku replied stopping to look at Hiei. "I guess I owe you a thanks for convincing me to tell her" Hiei said. "Seeing Yukina that happy is the only thanks I need" Riku said. "You really love her don't you?" Hiei asked. "I only want to see her happy" Riku said as he returned to his training. "Just remember, if you hurt her in any way, I won't be responsible for my actions" Hiei said. "I'll keep that in mind" Riku replied calmly. Hiei disappeared into the forest.
