I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.

Thanks for reviewing witchseeker and Jins-Irish-Grin (aka Kinomi :D )!

I tend to like having character development, particularly for characters that aren't known from anime's and what not. I find that it helps people grow more attached to characters and it helps them understand them better. A story isn't very good if you can't relate to or understand a main character.

Yey! I made Kinomi act properly! I was a little worried I had gone off from her personality, particularly with this chapter… but it make sense after you read the segment after the flash back. If she would have really done that or not I don't know --;; But I was trying to keep to what information you had given me. And I inspired you too? Neato! :) And thank you :D

Chapter 2

With a final smile Kinomi left the snowman and her hat behind. "Perhaps today isn't so bad," she said to herself. She was right to some extent. Even though she wanted to see Jin in person, memories of times with him would hold her out until she did eventually meet up with him.

vvvvv

"Kinomi," and old woman with shoulder length light pink hair and brown eyes known as Genkai called down the all to her adopted grandchild. She wore a red tunic that had small bits of green and purple with white pants and long sleeve shirt underneath it.

"Yes grandmother?" Kinomi called back.

"Why don't you come out and say hello to our guests," she called with a smirk.

Kinomi walked out of her room and down the hall with a puzzled look, "I didn't know we were having company."

"Sometimes you cannot expect this particular group," Genkai told her.

Her puzzled look intensified until she looked out the back door and saw a blue haired boy her height standing with his back to her, arms crossed. Kinomi smiled in delight and ran outside, tackling the unsuspecting ice master to the ground.

"Hey Touya!" She cried happily while still atop of him on the ground.

Touya groan, "Hello to you too Kinomi, now would you get off."

Kinomi got up and helped Touya back to his feet, "How are you?"

"I was fine until you tackled me," he said as he rubbed his left arm a bit, "Nearly broke my arm the way I landed." Now that his front was seen Kinomi could see the ice master's green spike like bangs on his left and light blue eyes. He was wearing a dark blue shirt, black fishnet underneath it, a purple belt, light blue pants and black slipper like shoes.

"Sorry!" Kinomi said with an apologetic bow.

Touya gave one of his rare smirks and quickly put the pink haired girl in a head lock, "Did you serious believe that Kinomi?"

"Ack!" Kinomi cried as she tried to get free, "You liar!"

"I simply twisted the truth since you did hurt my arm," Touya said before letting her go and when she stood up strait he pushed her backwards.

Kinomi let out a cry of surprise as she was pushed, but found she was not pushed far as she hit into something relatively quickly. At first she thought it was one of the temples pillars and was about to get angry with the ice master, who seemed oddly out of character today, when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her shoulders and a chin rest on the top of her head. Knowing that the temple pillars didn't have arms or anything around the likes she was left confused for a moment.

"How are ya Kinomi?" the Gaelic accented voice of the wind master came to her ears.

Her cheeks turned slightly red as she suddenly realized who it was, "I'm al-alright. You?"

"Tired," Jin replied, and as if to prove his point he yawned loudly. "'aven't slept for over a day."

"But your still awake enough to tell me to shove her back to you," Touya pointed out.

"Ah, come on Touya. Tha' don' be takin' much thought," Jin replied.

Kinomi crossed her arms, Jin's still around her shoulders, "So this whole thing was set up."

"I wasn't planning on getting tackled," Touya told her, "So no. Jin's idea was spur of the moment."

With a nod Kinomi asked, "Where were you when I came out Jin?"

Jin laughed jovially, "Lookin' at the scenery ol' Genkai's got 'ere."

"I should have guessed," Kinomi said with a smile.

"Hmm," Jin said sleepily, "Can I be sleepin' like this?" His arms tightened slightly around Kinomi's shoulders.

Kinomi blushed harder than before, "Yes- I mean no."

"Aw, why not?" Jin asked in his half awake state.

"Because when you fall asleep you'll knock me over," Kinomi said softly.

Jin made a pouting noise. Touya shook his head and grabbed the back of Jin's 'shirt' as he walked by. Jin let go of Kinomi so he wouldn't accidentally choke her. "You have a room here Jin, use it, not Kinomi."

"Ah, common Touya," Jin complained, "What do ya care?"

"It'll save her from your snoring," Touya replied.

"Snorin'? I don' snore Touya," Jin waved his arms like a child as he was dragged down the hallway by the smaller demon.

Kinomi bit her thumb nail softly as her blush remained on her cheeks and a small smile played on her lips. She and Touya both knew that Jin didn't snore, but what better excuse to use since Jin can't obviously hear himself when he sleeps.

vvvvv

Kinomi smiled to herself as she remembered that. That event had occurred after several months of not seeing either of them and it had overjoyed her to see them, particularly the red head, once again. She could never be upset about seeing Touya because that always meant that the perky wind master was not too far away as they always traveled together, like the many centuries before hand.

As she thought about Touya white lie to Jin she could not help but think about the one time she had heard Jin snoring. He had been sick, his sinuses were congested and seemed utterly miserable…

vvvvv

Jin sneezed into a tissue for what seemed like the thousandth time. "Bless you," Kinomi said for what seemed like the thousandth time.

"Oi," Jin complained, "I can' be breathin' an' my throat is sore."

Kinomi handed him a clean tissue, "That's what you get for going to the ice realm without proper clothing."

"I've never gotten sick from it before," Jin whined.

"There's a first time for everything." Kinomi said, "I'll be right back."

As she left the wind master's bed room he threw his dirt tissues into the almost full garbage pail. Some of the tissues were covered in blood from when he sneezed so hard he gave himself a bloody nose, which had lasted for several minutes.

His nose was red from all the sneezing and blowing into tissues he had done and even his ears were red and slightly drooped to show that he was ill. He wore a white long sleeve shirt instead of his normal top, due to his system being wacky and telling him he was freezing even though he was sweating.

He pulled the warm comforter up to his chin as he leaned against the bed post. He was horribly miserable since he could not run around in his normal jovial manner or even fly for that matter. His system was so run down that it hard to get himself out of bed, let alone walk about.

Kinomi took that moment to walk in with a tray in her hands, "I'm back with warm soup and tea."

Jin smiled wearily at her, "'anks."

"Welcome," she replied with a big smile. As she set the tray down on the bed side table Jin gave a horrible sounding cough before groaning in pain. Kinomi sighed as she stirred the soup to cool it down, she knew his throat was raw from constantly coughing and felt bad for him. It was annoying enough to be congested and constantly sneezing, but adding a very sore throat to that only made things more aggravating.

She handed him the tea with her free hand when she was sure he wasn't going to sneeze or cough at any moment. "Drink this, but be careful, it might be a little hot for your sore throat."

Jin nodded and carefully took the cup before taking a small sip. Finding that it didn't bother his throat he took a bigger sip, but not too much of one.

Touya came to the doorway at that moment, "How are you feeling?" One look at the wind master's drooping ear's answered his question before he even got a response.

"Miserable," Jin whined as he shifted slightly.

"Next time listen to me and get something warmer," Touya told him before leaving, all the while shaking his head.

Jin groaned and Kinomi just shook her head with a small smile, "You really should listen to him when going to the ice realm."

"Don' be rubbin' it in," Jin said into his cup before taking another sip.

Kinomi smiled softly as she sat in chair she had put by the bed earlier, the soup in her lap. "Put the tea down."

Jin looked at her curiously, tea still in his hands, "I can be feedin' myself."

"With you constantly sneezing and coughing it'll end up more in your lap than your stomach," she informed him as she held out a spoon full of warm soup for him.

With a sigh he closed his mouth around the spoon. When Kinomi gently pulled it out he put the cup of tea on the bed side table. After several more spoonfuls his dropped ears twitched slightly.

"Something the matter?" Kinomi asked, afraid she had done something.

Jin shook his head slowly so as to not give himself a headache or annoy his already upset system. "Na, but I could be gettin' used to this," he gave a big smile.

Kinomi laughed softly, "I guess you're getting better if you can smile like your normal jovial self."

"I be supposin' so," Jin said quietly.

After Jin was done eating she put everything back on the tray, "You should get some rest."

Jin nodded and shifted so he could lie down. Kinomi pulled the cover up to his chin for him and giggled slightly as he shifted about like a child trying to find their comfortable spot in bed. He ended up on his side so that he was facing her, his eyes were half closed as weariness started to claim him.

"Sleep well Jin," she told him as she picked up the tray and started to walk out.

She could have sworn she heard a light, "Thank you Kino-sama," before she left, but it could have been her imagination since Jin had never called her by a nickname before.

When she was walking by his room an hour later she saw Touya leaning against the door frame shaking his head, an amused look on his face. "What's so funny Touya?"

He pointed into the bedroom, but said nothing. When she looked in she could not help but laugh. Jin was hugging his pillow to his chest, sheets entangled around his waist and, on top of it all, he was snoring. How she had not heard it as she walked down the hall she didn't know.

"First time since I've know him that I've heard him snore," Touya said, still amused by the spectacle. After all, Jin and Touya had known each other for centuries.

"Well what do you expect?" Kinomi asked him, "His sinuses are clogged."

"So I can hear," Touya said as he stood up strait.

A thought came to Kinomi's mind, "We can use this as black mail."

Touya looked at her, eyebrow raised, "Where did that come from? I would have never expected that to come from you."

Kinomi blushed and bowed her head. Touya merely shook his head and said, "You're hopeless Kinomi."

vvvvv

To this day she hadn't figure out what Touya had meant by that. She shrugged the thought away as she continued walking, knowing that she probably wouldn't figure it out anyway.

Yes, what indeed did Touya mean by that…?

Jin was miserable, poor thing. Lol. I was sick when I wrote this so I kind of spread the love 0-:) It was a cool idea I thought and kind of cute too :)

I hope you liked it! And please review!

Happy Holidays.
