Disclaimer: Again, I don't own Yu YuHakusho, Botan, Hiei, Yusuke, Keiko, Shizuru, Kurama, Yukina, or Kuwabara. I also don't own the lyrics ("Find Your Way Back" by Michelle Branch) which I found on a website when I typed in said song into Google. But, I do own the rain and my Hiei plushie and keychain. -glomps Hiei plushie and keychain- Yes, these are mine.

A/N:This is the sequel, as one might call it, to 'Gravity'. Hope everyone enjoys it. Shout out to TearsofSadness17 for suggesting me to write another chapter. Hope you all enjoy this. Reviews are lovely and appreciated. (Really, the reviews I get from all my fanfics I put in a folder in my e-mail. Ehe he he.)

I used to get away with so much

Now I can't get away

A solitary figure stood in the middle of the path, seeming to be unaware of the pouring rain. His usual gravity defying hair hung untidily across his face, covering his keen, crimson eyes. He shook his head, and the droplets of water that clung to his bangs pattered to the ground. He was so stupid for the way he acted, he thought as he mentally berated himself. All that he wanted to do was run away, maybe to Maikai, slaughter a few demons to release his pent up energy and stress, and wish that none of this ever happened. However, wishes never came true, and so here he was, waiting for her to return to them…to him. As he waited, the memory of the previous night began to replay in his mind.

I even thought that it was simple

To say the things I wanted to say

It was another small get-together with the rest of the group at Genkai's dojo after the success of another mission completed. He didn't want to go, as usual, but that sneaky fox convinced him to make an appearance, as usual. (How did Kurama convince him to come this time? That fox said that he would make a certain woman sad if he didn't come. Of course, Kurama didn't mean her, but that is who he immediately thought of.) So, he grudgingly accompanied the fox to this gathering. He took in the familiar bearings, but then his eyes betrayed him and looked at her. She was laughing with her friends and having a great time. Well, he thought to himself, maybe it wouldn't be so bad to be here.

She caught him looking at her, so he quickly looked away, pretending to be bored even though his heart seemed to be beating faster than normal. He didn't know why this happened, but it appeared to be happening quite frequently, as of lately. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched her approach him. He cautiously regarded her when she asked to talk to him alone outside.

And you told me everything I wanted to hear

And you sold me

He was wary as he walked into the chilly night. She seemed to be extremely nervous about something, so he asked her what was the matter in, what he thought, was a polite manner.

"Onna, if you want to tell me something, I would like to know in this lifetime."

She huffed and shot him a measly attempt of a glare. He glared back at her until she finally gave up and sighed. Then, she spoke the words that would be forever etched in his memory and his heart.

"H-Hiei…I love you."

Time stood still. The breeze that was softly blowing in the night abruptly slowed, as did his breathing. She…she couldn't love me, he thought to himself. No, no, this couldn't be happening. This was some trick that someone attempted to play on him. Whatever his mind told him, his heart told him otherwise. He had wanted…to hear this from her. And now he did.

Now I don't know how I should feel

I should know me

And baby, you would think I knew better

He didn't know what to do. The Forbidden Child was never taught the ways of affection, nor was he given any. He did the first thing that came to his mind. He hned and walked off, leaving her in the darkness. He opened the door to the dojo and was bombarded with questions. He ignored those questions and shook his head to rid himself of the thoughts swirling in his head. Surprisingly, Yusuke's woman was the one that encouraged the information from him.

"Hiei, Botan…she said that she loved you, didn't she?"

And to this, he nodded. Everyone stared at him in shock, even Kurama. The bubbly girl they had all known and greatly loved loved him. Then, that woman had to ask him how he felt. He looked at her, fear briefly flickering across his features. He thought for a moment, and answered as best as he could.

"I-I love her too."

The silence that followed was overwhelming. And that is when she decided to return to them. She had plastered a smile so fake that he faintly thought that she shouldn't have bothered to attempt to smile at all. At that moment, the stupid detective laughed. Guffawed was more like it. She looked around the room before resting her gaze on Yusuke's woman. She finally understood what happened and then fled. He caught her gaze for a moment before she left. It was filled with hurt, anger, and betrayal. He should have gone after her, he should have followed her; there would so many 'should haves' that passed through his mind that he didn't perform. However, he did carry out one that seemed plausible to do. Yusuke wouldn't be able to execute the missions that were sent to him for a few days, if not more, after he was through with the detective.

What if I said what I was thinking?

What if that says too much?

The tapping of the rain brought him out of his reverie. She had been gone the whole night, and for most of this day. Although he didn't appear to look worried, inside he was a mess. He wished he could have told her how he felt, instead of acting like himself. He berated himself sternly for being an idiot, an even worse idiot than Kuwabara. (A/N: No offense to those Kuwabara fans out there. But, remember, this is Hiei's perspective.) He shook his head and then stared down the path, where he hoped that she would emerge. He quietly called out her name, hoping with a fool's hope that she might hear him. But, of course, she could be at the end of the earth, or not even in this world. So, he did what he had been doing all along.

I'm finding my way back to you

And everything I used to be

And waiting is all that I can do

He waited for her. He stood in the path, just like he did yesterday night and today. This seemed like the only reasonable thing to do. He knew that she needed some time to herself, just like he did. He thought that he felt her presence near, so he called to her…twice. Again, he rebuked himself. She couldn't possibly hear him, and probably wished to not hear him anyways. Time continued, and he still waited for her.

He sighed as he scuffed one of his black boots on the wet earth, watching it become covered in mud. Suddenly, he heard an odd noise coming from behind him. He furrowed his brows as he turned around to locate the slight disturbance. His eyes widened a fraction when he saw who it was.

Until you find your way back to me

Her kimono was ruined, covered with mud, and small twigs adorned her blue hair. She had some minute scratches on her arms and one on her cheek. To a normal person, she looked like a wreck. He thought she looked beautiful. He raised his eyes to meet hers and found tears forming there. He opened his arms to her, and she ran into them. He closed his arms around her shaking form and sighed happily as she cried into his torso.

"You found your way back," he spoke gruffly to her as he tightened his hold on her. She nodded into his chest as her sobs slowed.

"To me?" he questioned lightly. For a moment, she froze in his embrace, but then, slowly, she nodded her head once more. He chuckled lightly before he whispered what he thought.

"I love you, too."

A/N: Yes, the lyrics are cut up and such. Sorry if this offends anyone. I cut out the other parts cause it didn't seem to fit with the fic I was writing. So, not the whole song is in this certain fic, but, again, I don't own the song or parts of the song. I have my Hiei plushie!
