A/N Thanks for the reviews. I'm glad you guys liked it. I wanna say sorry if I spell things wrong. Sometimes my spell checker doesn't pick them up. It's rather annoying when it comes to school as well as fictions. Also wanna say sorry if my words and grammar seem a bit slangish and very bad. It's just how I am. I will try and get Christy(Kaygi) to read and edit my chapters for me so you can read them better. The chapters might seemed rushed a bit because I had intended on making this a one shot. But I have so many things to put in I wasn't sure so I'm going to make it chapter by chapter.

Hope you enjoy the rest! R&R! I love hearing what everyone thinks. Good or bad!

MWAH!blows kisses

The Elevator Goes Up

Chapter Two

Family is Family

Hiei looked at the girl next to him. Family? Hn. He thought about it as he leaned against the cold metal wall.

The smell of smoke still clung to the musky air, even if Shizuru stopped smoking half an hour ago.

Small amounts of smoke danced around the box. It twirled playfully and innocent around Hiei's head lightly. It disappeared leaving him with a vision of Yukina dancing in the snow. He became suddenly interested with the ceiling, not wanting to show the small, almost invisible, smile that had attacked him face.

He wished to hid these feelings, hide them in a closet, bolt the door and let them fester in the back of his mind as a mental illness. No one should know he loved his sister. No one should know she is his sister.

"Hiei, you ok? You look constipated. Like your trying to hold something in. You gotta go or something?" Shizuru asked chuckling.

"No you idiot. I'm sick of that damn buzzing of that motherfucker of a light on the ceiling," Hiei said glaring at her. She laughed again.

"Well, what's on your mind? I can tell it's not the light. You have that...'I'm a bad ass with a fuzzy warm inside but no can know that' look," she said, crossing the small space and sat across from him pretzel style.

"It's none of your concern, stupid. I don't need to tell you." Hiei shot her an icy glare almost as cold as the room.

She scooted back a little but asked again, "What is it? If it's about my brother, I'd like you to say it." She glared at him colder then he did at her.

He despised the younger of the Kuwabara's. For a few reasons. It wasn't because he was a bad fighter, in truth, Hiei respected his honor codes and morals in a fight. It was the way he acted, like an idiot, and the way he flirted and confessed his love so openly to his Yukina-chan. His sister.

"I find him to be a gorilla sized bafoon who should keep his hands off of... people." He stopped him self from saying her name.

Shizuru sat against the wall next to him, hugging her legs to her chest and rubbing her hands on her arms.

"But he's family. You don't see how hard he tries. How hard it is for him to be what he is. He stays up countless nights studying and thinking of what equation goes here and there. He may be an idiot, but he's my baby bro. I love him more then you love Yukina. And I know...that is saying a lot." She said biting her knuckle again.

Hiei looked at her.

"I would like it if you didn't bring her up. It's not your concern if I...never mind. Just shut up. Your wasting body heat by talking." She looked at him satisfied. She had made her point and laid down on the floor, which was considerably MUCH colder then the walls.

"When you have someone who is so close to you, how are you able to keep them so far away?" Shizuru asked out of the blue after 5 minutes of silence and listening to the light buzz. "It's better to leave them in the dark and have them mourn over someone who they think is dead than to know one of there trusted friends is the one they are looking for? Is that it Hiei?" She asked sitting up and facing him.

"You wouldn't understand. You and your brother know each other. Yukina may know I'm a demon.." he sighed heavily and looked at Shizuru with a sad yet jealous look.

"You know what your brother does. His every move, what he likes and feels. I know nothing about that girl. I can't read her movements of gestures, I don't understand some of the things she says and does. I can't be her brother if I know nothing. I may have watched over her, but from afar. I don't have anything to share about me with her. I'm a fucked-up kid in a world of even more fucked-up people. Yukina is a sweet little angel." He stood up and walked over to the other side of the room. "She doesn't need me for a brother, let alone a trusted friend."

Shizuru felt bad for him and yet, something inside her was angered by his speech. He seemed as if..

"So, you're just going to give up on trying to be her friendly brother figure? That's how she looks at you, and the others. Even my brother. She doesn't know what love is. She says it's something that doesn't make sense in her world. She needs her brother. And you're just too proud of yourself to admit to her you are her brother and that you love her." She turned her back to him. It sickened her more and more as each word passed her lips. "You call my brother an idiot, but he can tell his sister he loves her."

Elapsed time-2 hours 45 Min.

The two sat in silence for a half hour. Hiei repeating Shizuru's words over in his head.

"My mother killed herself. I never knew her. I went there once. I saw the woman who threw me over the edge of the floating island. She told me to come back and kill her. But I had no need to anymore. Yukina was my goal. And when I found her, in the room where the Black Black Club was betting on Yusuke and your brother's win or lose, she looked at me. She asked me, 'Who are you?' Her eyes full of fear from all the fighting. I couldn't tell her then. I want to tell her. But I don't know how." He ended his speech and Shizuru looked at him.

"Our parents are never home."

OK! Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Kaygi edited for me. She rocks! Hiei seems a tiny bit OOC and I'm upset with myself because of it. But given the situation at hand and the fact that she loves her brother and he loves his sister it seemed right that he would open up to her a little bit. Or atleast that's what Kaygi and I thought. Hope everyone likes it. PLEASE R&R!
