Chapter 2
With a deep breath Hiei spoke. "Yukina I need to speak with you." She turned from washing his plate to face him. Curiosity shone in her eyes as she nodded. "Hai Hiei-san of course." She wiped her hands on a towel and moved to sit at the table in the corner of the kitchen and looked expectantly to Hiei as he continued to stand in the doorway. Hiei meanwhile was trying to figure out how he had come to the decision to tell Yukina. 'Oh right Kurama. Hn Damn that nosy baka fox!' he cursed at Kurama in his mind. "Hiei-san?" Yukina's questioning voice made him come out of his mental rant as he shook his head and moved further into the kitchen. "It is about your brother Yukina." He stated quietly afraid of her reaction. "Oh! Have you found him Hiei-san? Have you seen my brother?" she asked leaning forward on the table in anticipation of his answer. "H..Hai Yukina" he stuttered. 'Damn it pull it together Hiei, listen to your self your stuttering! If the others heard you know they would never let you hear the end.' He berated himself in his head as he took another deep breath. "I am your brother." As the words left his mouth he shut his eyes not wanting to see the reaction on her face. Had he left them open he would have seen her shock and her happiness.
Just as she opened her mouth to speak Kuwabara's voice interrupted the siblings. "Shorty's Yukina's Brother!" Both turned to see him standing in the doorway with an empty cup in his hand. Hiei let out a low growl at the intrusion to a very private conversation. "Baka stay out of this!" His eye flashed dangerously, warning Kuwabara he was treading thin ice. Yukina stood up when she saw how angry Hiei was and reached out to lay her hand on his arm. "Hiei, Oniisan!" she said softly letting the words reach Hiei's ears. "Oh, how long I've waited to hear that my brother has come to me!" she threw herself into his arms and hugged him like there was no tomorrow. Tears formed in her eyes as she felt him hesitantly hug her back. Kuwabara just stood there with his mouth gaping as he watched the twins embrace, until he felt a tug on his sleeve. "Come Kuwabara, leave them alone they have much to discuss." Kurama's voice shook him out of his daze. "but.. but…." He turned and left with Kurama muttering about the new revelation. The two krooime pulled apart and Hiei searched his sister's eyes for any sign of remorse about his confession. He slowly, uncertainly reaches out a hand to brush away Yukina's tears before they can fall and form her gems. "I guess you want to know why." He said gruffly trying to hide his emotional state of mind. "No, it does not matter as long as you don't try to hide from me anymore." She answered smiling at him. "Hn." Hiei allowed a small smile to grace his face as he looked back at his sister, showing her how happy he was. After talking for a little longer they went to go rejoin the rest of the group. Hiei immediately took up the unoccupied windowsill and Yukina went to talk with Keiko.
Hiei watched as Kurama walked over to him. "Hn, not a word fox." He muttered out before turning his head and looking out the window. "Now Hiei doesn't it feel better now that she knows? No more worrying about her finding out from someone else?" "Hn" Kurama just chuckled and moved away once more to talk with Shizuru. "Hiei I am so happy you told Yukina! Look at her she looks so happy!" Botan's excited voice made Hiei cringe as he turned to look at the source of his annoyance. "Baka onna, don't you know how to stay quiet?" he said lowly glaring at her. "Oh come on Hiei you should be happy!" she smiled at him trying to get him to open up, but failing miserably. "Hn, onna go find someone else to annoy." With that he turned back to the window. He missed the brief look of hurt in Botan's eyes at his comment and when he didn't hear her leave he turned back to see her standing there with a small frown tears lining her eyes. "Baka onna what is wrong now?" he asked in exasperation. "Do you really find me that annoying Hiei? Is it really that hard for you to talk to me and be around me?" she asked in a small voice as she gazed at him. 'Damn onna what is she talking about? This isn't the first time I have called her annoying, yet now she looks like she is going to cry. Why does that seem to bug me?' Hiei had once again taken to talking to himself in his head. He tried to trample down the guilt that was suddenly making its appearance at the sight of her tears. Sighing he tried to rectify the situation. "No onna you are not that hard to be around. " he muttered to her. "Now go talk to the detective's woman or something." He turned away again and this time missed her look of surprise at his statement, but she nonetheless walked away to go join Yukina and Keiko on the sofa across the room.
