Hiei was sitting on Kurama's shoulders as the walked in Kurama's house. Shiori welcomed them home and they sat to dinner along with Shuchi(Kurama's stepbrother)) and His step Father. They both looked at Hiei'Kaa-san was right he is cute!" Shuichi said. kurama smiled"I said that when i first met him" he said. Hiei stared at the ground. they ate dinner. Shoiri smiled"still no one has called about little Hiei, I wonder if he was abanded. Perhaps we need to call a orphanage? " she suggested. Shuichi blinked'no way Kaa-san! he can stay with us! I always wanted a little brother." he said. Kurama smiled"yes let him stay with us, I don't think the parnets will come back for him." Kurama said. Shiori smiled"okay...maybe for a couple of weeks" she said. shuichi and Kurama smiled"Hai Hai" they said. Hiei blinked and ate his Ramen again woofing it down. Kurama smiled"slow down alittle you 'll choke" he said. Hiei slow down.

Hours pass and Kurama was getting everything ready for bed time. He'll take Hiei to Genkai's tommarrow maybe she will know a cure. Kurama was wondering if he should take a bath or not. He'll take a shower in the mouring. Kurama place a futon on the floor for Hiei, who was looking at more books. Kurama smiled"Hiei you can sleep down here"Kurama said. Hiei blinked and smiled" Futons are really comfey you'll like it" Kurama continued. Hiei crawled down from the bed and on to the futon. Kurama smiled and turned off the light, he was already in his pjs. He walked back to his bed and layed down. Kurama doze off, and Hiei jumped up on the bed and layed next to Kurama and fell asleep. Kurama felt movement and blinked seeing Hiei next to him again. Kurama smiled and fell asleep.

The Next mouring Kurama was the one to get up first. He grabed some clean clothes, he still was half asleep his hair a mess and he yawned. He took a shower, Hiei still was asleep. Kurama finshed his shower got dressed and was drying his hair when he heard a whimper. He walked back into his room and saw Hiei wakeing up. Kurama blinked"Hiei did you have a nightmare?" Kurama asked. Hiei looked up and nodded tears falling down his small cheeks. Kurama smiled"its alright dreams are dreams they can't hurt you no matter how real they seem" Kurama said sitting on the bed.

Hiei sniffled and clinged to Kurama"yeah but it was scary" he said softly. Kurama huged Hiei."its alright, today we are going to see a friend of mine, we get to ride a train" Kurama said. Hiei blinked"whats a train?" he asked. Kurama chuckled loudly"you see" Kurama said.

They left and went to the train station. Kurama paid and they waited for the train, Hiei clinged to Kurama's arm nervously. Kurama smiled"its okay trains are fun" he said. There was a ice cream sgop a couple feet away. Kurama smiled"Hiei want some ice cream its really good" he said. Hiei blinked and nodded. Kurama walked over Hiei close behind got 2 vinlla icecreams and boarded the train. They sat down and Hiei looked at the icecream sniffed it then licked it. He blinked nad smiled'its good" he said softly. Kurama smiled"yes its one of my favorite treats that and Inari Zushi.." Kurama smiled while eating his ice cream. They both finshed. It was about a 2 hour ride. only half an hour passed and Hiei fell asleep. Kurama smiled and looked out the window and was lost in thought.

I know I must find the cure but what happens if he is happier like this I want him to be happy but he had it hard when he was young, had it harder than me, I was a spoiled brat when i was Youko, I was selfsh, Hiei never had the chance to share happyness with other people, he never trust them enough to be happy. Sometimes I wonder if Hiei trusts me. I wanted him to back to normal but now I'm not so sure..will be happy growing up again with me? or should I give him the cure and he'll he heartless and cold again... Kurama looked over at Hiei I never notice before, but Hiei has such a warm smile, He never showed me before, it was very rare when Hiei smiled heartly. I don't know what to do I'm really lost now, perhaps Genkai will know the answer. The train stoped at Genkai's stop. Kurama picked up hiei and walked off the train. Kurama walked out of the station with the sleeping Hiei.

They made it to the entrance and began to walk up the stairs. Hiei started to wake up"huh...where are we?" he asked looking up at Kurama. "at Master Genkai's" Kurama said. Hiei smiled and Kurama put him down. They both walked up and enter the temple. Genkai was expecting them. "Kurama so this is what happen to Hiei...I never thought he'll be this cute" she said. Kurama smiled" I said that the first time I saw him" he said. Hiei looked around the temple.
