AN: Hello, I fogot to add an Author's note on the first chapter so I will put it here.

1: I will continue Banana peels are in fact dangerous. (Stupid friend. I wanted to stop writing it because I like this story better, but she hit me. It hurt. A lot.)

2. I changed the title. If you liked the first one better please tell me. (The orignal title was Lost years, frozen tears.)

3. I dont really have a third thing to say, I just wanted to seem important.

4. Blah... (My friend made me type that. I hate her sometimes. Oh crap she's reading what I am writing.)

Enjoy the story and if you dont understand something please tell me.

In her field of paper flowers,
she finally learned just how much she was loved,
Even if she wasn't actually sure what it meant.

-Dream-

"Don't you want to go outside?" A guy named Ryoichi asked a younger Kohana.

"Not really, I like staying in my room." Ryoichi looked out the window so his back was facing Kohana. "With you.." She whispered quietly so he wouldn't hear.

"Don't you like the fresh air? Or the way the sun warms your skin?" He asked.

"No. I like my room. Its quiet." She said in a bored tone.

"Not at all? Doesn't it make you feel.." he paused, as if searching for the right word. "Free?" He said softly and turned around to look at her.

"Why would it make me feel free?" she asked and looked at Ryoichi confused.

"Because you aren't. To be free isn't being locked up in a room. To be free doesn't mean asking permission to go outside. To be free doesn't mean.. not knowing what.. love is." he said and looked outside again.

'To be free…? Love? What is he talking about now?' Kohana thought and sat down on her uncomfortable bed. At least she had a bed, last year all she had was a cot.

"I could make you free. We could leave this place. You and me, and be free together." Ryoichi whispered. Kohana was hit with panic.

"What? NO! I can't leave this place! It's all I have, to leave.. means.. it means.." Kohana trailed off, she didn't know what it meant to leave this place.

"It means having your freedom." He said and looked at her.

"It means being with me, letting me take care of you. It means that I could love you like I want to! It means I wont have to sneak you outside just so you could smell a rose!" He said angrily. Kohana looked down at her feet, why was she always making him upset?

"What.. What is freedom? What does it mean.. to be loved?" She whispered as a tear rolled down her cheek and landed on the floor a beautiful red gem. Perfect and flawless.

-End of dream-

-With guys-

"So you saved another girl named Kohana? And she is living with us?" Suki asked her boyfriend of 3 years, Kurama.

"Yes, she is apparently really good friends with Yukina." He answered her.

"Also, even thought she is human she can cry tear gems." He added as an after thought. Suki turned to Yukina.

"Is that true?" Yukina nodded her head.

"I didn't actually see her cry, but I know she would never lie to me." The colour from Suki's face drained.

"Tear gems, when she is human?" Yukina nodded her head again.

"Her name is Kohana Saito. She doesn't really remember her past, but she is certain her last name is Saito. Wait! Isn't that your last name?" Yukina asked happily. Suki almost fainted when she heard that name. She turned to Kurama.

"She's.. my sister." Suki looked down at her feet. "I thought she was dead." She whispered. Kurama went up to her and lifted her head up.

"I am sure once she finds out her big sister is here, she will be more then happy." He said and lightly kissed his girlfriend.

"I am sorry I didn't tell you, I thought she was dead.. I didn't want to burden you with my sorrow." She said smoothly. He just smiled at her and pulled her into an intimate hug. Yusuke looked over at Kuwabara and rolled his eyes. It wasn't that he didn't like Suki.. It was that he just.. Well.. Yeah he didn't like Suki. No one really liked her, they just were ok with her because she was Kurama's girlfriend.

"I am going to make Kohana some food for when she wakes up." Yukina said and started to walk towards the kitchen. 'It is strange that Kohana never mentioned she had a sister. She said all her family members were dead. I will talk to her about it later.'

No one really noticed that Yukina left the room but Hiei. Yusuke and Kuwabara were resisting the erge to throw up, and well.. Kurama and Suki were sucking face.

-With Kohana-

"What.. What is freedom? What does it mean.. to be loved?" echoed through Kohana's mind as she woke up. 'Not that dream again' she thought as she got out of bed. She expected to feel hard cold cement but instead felt carpet.

'What the…? Where am I? Where's Yukina?' She thought as she desperately looked around for Yukina. Her eyes stopped on the door and she decided to go find Yukina. 'Who knows what those boys did to her!' Kohana thought as she walked down the hallway.

"Yukina?" She whispered.

"To be free doesn't mean.. not knowing what.. Love is" Kohana shook her head. 'I can't be occupied by that dream. I need to find Yukina.' She came across a flight of stairs. She looked down them and decided that there was no way she could be upstairs anymore.

"It means that I could love you like I want to!" "Stop it Kohana! Stop thinking about him. Focus on finding Yukina." she said out load and heard noise coming a room next to the kitchen. 'Maybe I should try that room before the kitchen. I doubt she would be in the kitchen.' Kohana thought as she walked into the room.

She looked around and saw the guys that 'saved' her. The short one who hit her on the head was sitting on the window sill, completely ignoring what was going on around him. The red head was sitting on the arm chair reading a book. Kohana just stood in the door way for a while just watching them. 'Did they do anything to Yukina? Why would they hurt her? Why did they 'rescue' me? I wanted to stay there.' Kohana thought, but little did she know that a certain fire demon was reading her thoughts.

She looked everyone over again. When she got to the 'red head' he looked over his book and straight into her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, Kohana felt as though he was looking right into her soul. She felt that he could see all her secrets, and he made her feel this way by just making eye contact. Although she didn't know it, he felt the same way as her. Kurama while trying to sort out his feelings of the moment that just happened 3 seconds ago, waited for Kohana to speak.

"Where's Yukina?" She whispered hoarsely. She wasn't all the use to speaking, but at least she wasn't stuttering anymore. Yusuke and Kuwabara stopped watching tv and stared at Kohana. Hiei was still looking out the window, but he was completely aware about what was going on.

"What have you done with Yukina?" She said louder.

"What do you mean?" Yusuke asked slowly. Kohana stared at him blankly. 'What do I mean? what are you? Stupid? I mean what I said.' Kohana thought, Hiei smirk at what she just thought. Kohana was about to speak but she was shoved into the room from behind. She almost fell down but luckily caught herself before she fell down.

Kohana turned around and glared at the girl who pushed her. She was just a little shorter then Kohana and was very pretty.

"Kohana?" asked the girl, which made Kohana back away. "Do you remember me?" Kohana looked at her confused and got that feeling she should not and could not trust this girl no matter what.

"I am you older sister. My name is Suki." 'What! But.. But my family.. They were killed. How…? How can she be alive?' Kohana thought as Suki started to come closer to her with arms wide open, as if expecting Kohana to hug her or something.

'What is she doing? Why is she coming closer?' Kohana thought, slightly panicked. 'She is going to hug you Baka.' came a reply in her head. Kohan looked around. 'What was that? Who was that?' Kohana thought and noticed that Suki was to close for comfort. She put her hand up to stop Suki.

"I don't like physical contact." She said. Suki was about to reply to Kohana's comment but didn't know what to say. So instead she stood there stupidly. There was an awkward silence because things obviously didn't go the way anyone had planned.

"Kohana your up!" Yukina said while walking into the room. Kohana visually relaxed, and her face brightened.

"Yukina! Your alright. I was so worried when I woke up and I couldn't find you." Kohana said in a relieved tone, and pushed Suki out of the way. Yukina looked at her, and could tell that she was in fact more then just worried, she was scared. Kohana hugged Yukina like she hadn't seen her in years. This almost made Hiei laugh.

'Don't like physical contact?' he asked her telepathically. 'I don't know who or what you are little voice, but I like you. I shall name you Bob. And I don't like physical contact. Only for Yukina will I put aside my dislike, because it makes her happy.' And with that Kohana and Yukina left so they could eat some of the food Yukina made. Although Kohana didn't know it, she had gained Hiei's respect.
