The Sweetest Snow

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. Or Hiei.
Author's Note: I have had the biggest case of writer's block in the history of my life (does that make sense?) and I am currently cursing myself for the lack of updates and inspiration. One day I decided to try and actually write something, and this is what I got. Hopefully it will not be complete crap.
Hiei liked snow. He liked the way it fell from the sky, drifting slowly, almost lazily, down to the earth. The way they twinkled in the daylight, and covered the city with white. The way they made even the dirtiest things look so good. In fact, he liked it so much, sometimes he would sit in his favorite tree and watch the snow fall all day, doing nothing but watching, and waiting.
He didn't know what he was waiting for, or when it would come. But still he would sit, staring at the snow in rapture. It was pure, just like his sister Yukina. They could make the most negative of feelings go away and let you feel joyful, if not for just a short time. Maybe he was waiting for them to come to him, to make his bad feelings go away. The way he waited for Yukina to come to him, although he would never admit it, even to himself. And so he would stay, hidden under the cover of leaves, and watch the snow.
What he didn't understand, however, was why snow even bothered to go down. Because as soon as they landed, they would melt, looking almost as if in slow motion (although in reality, they melted quite fast) and would disappear. Forever. He didn't understand why something so beautiful, so pure, would just melt away in a moment. The way a person's life sometimes would.
So he watched the snow, watching them make a single descent, before they disappeared. It didn't give him any answers to his questions, but it made him feel better, somehow.
I wonder, he thought to himself, if I could ever find, a snowflake that tasted as sweet as it looked.
With that in mind, he stared into the sky, and fell into slumber.
-To be continued-
Whoo!! pats herself on the back I've had this idea in my head for a bit now, but I wasn't sure exactly how to portray it...what situations would bring out the best of the concept and stuff. I'd written this part a while ago, but I didn't exactly know where to place it, but I know I have a clearer sense of what I'm going to do nods head Hopefully I will update soon.
Oh, and, I know my updates have been about Hiei so far, but it wasn't on purpose...I mean, it's not like all I write about is Hiei or anything. I just came up with the story, and he seemed to fit the best, I guess. Please review! :)
