Chapter 4

Click click. Click click.

Yukina sobbed as she looked at the body of the dead Kazuma Kuwabara. It was the next morning. Shizuru had discovered the body only hours earlier, and called Yukina crying her eyes out over the phone.

Click click. Click click.

That clicking was beginning to get on the ice maidens nerves. It was the police, taking pictures of the body. She rose, going to get some air. Apparently Kazuma had been stabbed twice in the stomach with a sword. She sighed. They hadn't caught the culprit yet.

"Who would have wanted to murder a sweet man like Kazuma?" she wondered, speaking softly. She looked at the front door. Hiei stood there. She headed over to him.

Hiei spotted her and shifted uncomfortably. If she started crying- then that was it, he was out of there. Her teary eyes met his cold ones.

"Hiei...it was so horrible!" she said, tears streaming down her cheeks. She threw her arms around him and sobbed into his shoulder.

Hiei froze up. His mind raced, screaming for him to run. But he couldn't. He couldn't tear away from his sisters grasp. He just couldn't.

"Why did they kill Kazuma?" she cried softly. Hiei had a perfect smug answer. It was just that Yukina wouldn't like the answer.

"Erm...." he said, squirming. She pulled away from him, smiling through her tears.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I know you aren't used to that sort of thing." she said, collecting all the tear gems on the ground. Hiei tried giving a smile, but it came out all goofy and silly looking. Yukina giggled.

"I take it you're not used to smiling either, Hiei." she said. He responded with his favorite quote.

"Hn."

She smiled, and opened the door. "Would you like to come in?" he nodded. They stepped inside, and Yukina got them both glasses of water. Hiei stared at his cup.

"What's wrong?" she asked. She took a sip of her drink. Hiei looked at her, avoiding her eyes.

"Yukina," he said. "I'll be going away soon. Please don't come find me or try to reach me. I'm afraid..." he paused. "I'm afraid you cannot go to the place I'll be."

"Where are you going?" she asked. He didn't answer her. She tried another approach. "How long will you be gone?"

His eyes shifted down. "I...I won't be coming back." Yukina spit out her water. Did she hear that right?

"What?" she asked. He looked her in the eye. "You heard me."

He stood and turned to leave. She shoved her chair back and grabbed his arm. He turned to look at her. His eyes widened slightly. Guilt was beginning to creep into his mind. Yukina reminded him of someone. Someone...someone dead.

Someone like Shori.

Shori had grabbed his arm. He shook his head, trying to knock out the image. Yukina looked up into his face.

"Please don't leave me, Hiei." she pleaded. He grunted.

"I cannot stay."

"Please!"

He got a pained look on his face. "If I stay, I would be tainting your heart with evil."

"You're not evil." she told him. He shrugged off her arm and headed out the door. Yukina watched him go, and ran back to Kazuma's room. The police were inspecting something on the bed and clicking away again.

Yukina walked over to them. "Excuse me Miss," one of them said. She looked over at him. He showed her the object on the bed. "Do you know what this is?" She peered closer at it, and held it up.

It was a long piece of white fabric.

Ohhhh....what's going to happen? Will Yukina discover who did it, and where exactly Hiei is going? Please review!
