It's what everyone's been waiting for...the first missing chapter!Maybe now it will make a little more sense!

Chapter 4 Daily Routine

It had been about a week since Rini had first found Hiei,and he was getting better as they passed.Every morning Rini would greet Hiei with breakfast in bed and a friendly smile,Hiei would greet her with a "hn" and a turn of the head.When Hiei said he wasn't hungry,Rini just left the plate on the night stand next to the bed.

He despised human food.He preffered the mushrooms and berries he ate while he was in the forest.But he had actually gotten quite used to it after a few days.Hiei would eat it about a half hour later when Rini wasn't around,despite how cold or hard it was.

In the afternoon Rini would help Hiei up and walk him around a little to help his body grow stronger,call it physical therapy.Sometimes he stumbled,but he got right back up and started again.Doing this helped Hiei a great part.(Remember now Hiei was gravely hurt in the beginning of this stoy so it's gonna take a while for all the boo-boos to go away.)

At night Rini would make Hiei an herbal drink to make him better.After she was done with all of her chores,she would go upstairs and talk to Hiei for a while,though he usually didn't talk back.When she was done she would wish him a good night,turn out the light,and head to her place on the couch since Hiei was in her room.

For about ten days they repeated this.He got a little better each day.On the eleventh morning that Hiei was resting at Rini's house,Rini was going upstairs with a plate of breakfast for Hiei,but when she opened the door she got a surprise.

"Hiei,I made you so-" She nearly dropped the plate when she saw that Hiei was standing all on his own.Not wobblingnot losing his blance,just standing.Rini smiled a smile that would have made Satan drop all his shinanagins. "What are you so happy about Rabbit?" Hiei asked like nothing special had happened. "Why wouldn't I be happy?Your're standing by yourself!" Rini yipped with joy.

"So I am." Hiei said with a bit of sarcasm. "You don't seem too happy about it..." Rini said a little saddened. "So I'm standing,big deal." Well it is a big deal Hiei.Until now you could barely sit up for a few minutes without me supporting you." "Well while you're up,do you wanna try going down the stairs?" Whatever." They headed down the stairs and not once did Hiei trip,fall,or stumble on the way down.
