Hey everyone! I'm so sorry for not updating anything really. I promise I'll do it this week but be sure to read my other fics and review for suport and ummm what it called, something that makes me want to do it. Well whatever just review plz!

Enjoy.

Its just like any other day, so why should this one be any different? Because its raining. God damn I hate the rain. But… this time it doesn't seem as cold or as wet as it usually does.

I wonder if its because that bird is here. Trying to hide from the rain drops just like I am. It ruffles it feathers and then fixes them with its beak. I want to reach out and touch it, but afraid that if I do it'll fly away like last time. Its great company.

"Yeah, are you a bird or something?"

Kuwabaras words keep ringing in my head. Could it be that I was a bird at one time, or that I desire to become one?

I watch it all the time. It gathers little nuts and fruits, bring them back to the tree and eats them. It sits and sings and flaps its wings in the sun and hides from the rain and just about everything else.

What a pointless life. How could I have thought that I would want to be like one of these creatures? Weak, and needy, that's not me. I don't need anyone or anything.

But it looks so… free.

I reach out and touch it again hoping it won't leave me. Gently I stroke its wing and it nudges my finger with its mouth. I admit, the color blue is not as bad as I thought it out to be. It looks over at me, and I see its eyes. They look hurt as if they've been threw hell, that much I can relate to.

It notices something and quickly flys away. The blue bird had so much feeling in its eyes.

"Hiei?" I hear a voice below me and look down. Its Kurama, no wonder the bird flew away. All animals will probably run from the great Youko. I lightly make a little laugh to myself and jump down.

He is wearing his usual (which ever that is) and is holding an umbrella. "What are you doing out here in the rain?" He asks. I look at him for a second and then up at the sky. Its still raining, now its cold and wet. "You can stay with me if you would like Hiei, its not supposed to stop raining for a couple more days."

I was still looking up at the sky. Rain drops falling on my face and in my eyes. I blinked and lowered my head, stupid bird. I wonder what its doing, where its going to go to hide from the rain, if it'll be allright.

Why am I caring about an animal?

Because its in your nature. Its what you where ment to do.

Kurama looked at me and meet my gaze. "Hiei? Are you allright?" Huh, look he cares.

Just like you do for the bird. The beautiful blue cardinal.

I make my trademarked sound and just walk on. Of course I'm allright, am I ever not allright? We walk for a while and finally reach his house. The whole time I was thinking about that bird.

When will I see it again?

Soon

Will I see it again?

Yes

Is it going to be allright?

Yes

Will it be too cold?

No

Will it be hungry?

No

Will I ever to able to know-

I'll tell you everything

"Hiei? Are you sure your allright?" He asks, concerned again.

I shake my head, trying to get the thoughts of the blue cardinal out of my head. "Fine." I assure him. I was thinking the whole time I did not even realize that we where in his house, and his bed room no less.

Always clean, there was his neatly made bed and picked up floor. I sat at the end of the bed and looked out the window to my left.

He smiles lightly. "I'll go get some extra blankets for you, be right back." He steps out of the room and goes down the hall. I heard him open a door and step in.

I sigh lightly and look out the window just to see rain drops, and more rain drops.

The beautiful cardinal is here.

I jumped when lighting struck and thunder roared at the same time. Just then I heard a high pitched screech on the window, almost like it was being scraped with claws.

I looked out the window and saw the bird. It was soaking wet and flapping its wings franticly. I rushed over to the window and opened it, letting the bird in and quickly closing it.

It was dripping wet and settled on Kuramas chair that was in his room. It looked like it was out of breath, chest heaving and eyes wide. Was something chasing it?

"What happened to you?" I asked it. I was surprised when it looked up at me, as if to answer the question. Kurama walked in with arms full of a couple of blankets and pillows.

"Who are you talking to?" He asked.

I looked at him, a little confused. He put the stuff for sleeping down on his bed and stared at me. "So, who where you talking to?"

I pointed to the top of his chair where the blue cardinal was perched. Kurama looked really confused. "You where talking to the chair?"

"Kurama, you can't see it?"

No one but you Hiei. Your special.
