~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rini looked at Hiei with fear in her eyes. Hiei saw this, he had NEVER wanted Rini to be afraid of him. In fact, that was the last thing he wanted. Tears started streaming down Hiei's cheeks. "Rini.." he said. "w…what is it" Rini choked out, still a little afraid. "I'm so sorry Rini, believe me, I never meant to hurt you in anyway…please, I beg of you to forgive me.." Hiei begged. Rini stopped to think before she said anything. Why was she even afraid of Hiei in the first place?she knew Hiei would never hurt her no matter what. Here he was, Hiei, crying his eyes out for her. How in the world could she possibly be fearful of him?! "I'm sorry Hiei, I could never be mad at you, and I don't even know why I was afraid just then, of course I forgive you!" Rini replied smiling. Hiei stopped crying. He was happy and relieved now, Rini had forgave him, and said she could never be mad at him. Rini wiped away Hiei's tears, "please don't cry anymore Hiei, everything's gonna be alright now' Rini said. Hiei smiled and hugged her. Rini was a little taken back by this, yet she was very happy he was hugging her. Rini pulled away a bit from the hug and looked at Hiei. He bent down and kissed her passionately on the lips. Rini felt so good when he did that, she snuggled up closer to him. Hiei took off his cloak, and wrapped it around her, he then hugged her. They both soon fell asleep.

Yue walked down the road, she had seen what had happened between Hiei and Rini. "oh great! I brought them closer together! Peachy just peachy! UGH!!! Queen Atsuki isn't gonna be happy at all!""

The next morning, Rini woke up. It was still kind of early, so Kuwabara's house was quiet. Rini looked at Hiei, who was still sleeping peacefully, holding her in his arms. Rini slipped out of his arms, and limped into the room Kurama was sleeping in. she frowned as she looked at him. He was hurt much worse than she, she would heal quickly enough, but he wouldn't. Rini sat on the bed, and gently put her hand over his. Kurama slowly opened his eyes and looked up at her. He smiled. Rini tried to smile but couldn't, tears started to swell in her eyes as she looked at Kurama. Kurama sat up and hugged her. "I'm sorry this all happened Kurama..believe me if I would have known sooner, I would have gotten there before anything happened. "I know you would have Rini" Kurama said in a reassuring voice. Rini frowned again, "but look at you…I feel awful…" "its ok, I'll be fine, and we always have Yukina remember. Rini smiled a little at him and nodded. Hiei woke up and noticed Rini was gone. He could hear voices coming from the guest room, so he teleported outside and watched silently from a tree that was by the window. Kurama pulled Rini closer. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.

Hiei stepped back on the tree. He couldn't believe it, Rini just kissed Kurama, after kissing him! Why? Hiei had thought he'd finally won her heart, but she ran right back into Kurama's arms. Hiei finally came to a conclusion: Rini loved Kurama and Kurama loved Rini back, and he couldn't change that and get Rini to love him. Hiei sighed and teleported to the makai, where he could be alone and think.
