Chapter 5 Questions Best Not Asked

Hina kept her warming embrace around Hiei. Hiei kept his gaze on his wet hands. Hina reached over and whiped his soggy bangs out of his face. All Hiei did was sniffle. Hina felt Hiei's forehead and it was really warm.

"Are you feeling ok Hiei?" Hina asked. Hiei looked away hiding his sorrow filled eyes. This was the first time he was ever held and comforted. It made Hiei feel sad when he thought about all he has missed because of what his father did. Hina pulled Hiei closer gently rubbing his back. Hina looked worried at the boy in her arms. "Are we almost there?"

"Yes we are. Just two blocks away." Hina nodded. Hiei was starting to nod off. His eyelids drooped and he let out a small yawn. Hina smiled.

"Sleep Hiei. We're almost there." Hiei numbly nodded and rested against Hina. Once they arrived to Kurama's house Kurama carried Hiei into his room and laid him down on the bed. Hina walked over to Hiei and held his hand with Yukina next to her. Kurama left the room to get some new and warm cloths.

"Mom is Hiei going to be ok?" Yukina asked worried. Hina smiled and nodded.

"He will probably have a cold that's all." Kurama returned and asked if they could leave until he got Hiei dressed. They nodded and stepped outside the door. Yukina looked down as a small tear slid down her cheek. "Oh baby come here." Hina said opening her arms. Yukina gave her mother a hug. "Everything will be just fine. You'll see." Hina said smiling reassuring and gently whiping her daughters tears away.

"Ok you can come in." Kurama said from the room. Hiei was dressed in black silk pajamas. They had blood red flames crawling up the side. "He spends some days at my house when he needs to get away so I have clothes and other supplies for him when he's over here." Kurama said smiling sadly. Hina nodded and walked over to the bed. "Here is a rag. We just have to keep his temperature down. I bet he'll feel better in the morning." Hina smiled and took the rag and dipped it into a bowl of cool water next to the bed. She gently placed it over Hiei's forehead. (Hiei does not have a Jagon because he doesn't even know he has a sister. Ok ) That night everyone took turns watching Hiei.

By that morning Hiei's temperature was down to normal. All was quiet in the house. Hina, Yukina, and Kurama had cots in Kurama's room next to the bed where Hiei laid. Hiei took a deep breath in as he slowly opened his eyes. He stared at the ceiling and realized that he was at Kurama's house. Sitting up slightly he head started to spin. Plopping back to the pillows he started to rub his temples. He moaned slightly in discomfort. Hina was awoken by the moan. She looked around and noticed everyone was still asleep.

"Hiei?" Hina asked standing up. She saw Hiei rubbing his head. He stopped and looked at her.

"Why were you sleeping on the floor?" Hiei asked. Hina smiled.

"You had a high temperature so we all watched you over the night." Hiei squinted taking in all that was said. Then he looked away.

"You didn't have to do that." Hiei whispered. Hina's smiled grew.

"How are you feeling?" Hiei shifted in the bed.

"My head hurts." Hiei whispered embarrassed. Hina was about to go look in the bathroom for some ibuprofen when she heard some one stir behind her.

"Morning Hina what are you doing up?" Hina turned around and saw Kurama get up.

"I'm going to get Hiei some medicine for his head." Kurama smiled.

"I'll get it." Kurama said exiting the room.

"Mom?" Hina turned around and saw Yukina sitting up. Hina smiled and helped her daughter up.

"Yes."

"Hiei's up?" Hina nodded.

"I told you everything would be ok." Yukina smiled and nodded.

No Hiei isn't going to fall in love with Yukina. It will only be a brotherly love. They will know the secret soon.
