Hey guys! Sorry that I jumped off the face of the earth for a while. It may be a little while before I can update the 'Mission Yukina' chapter. So I'll see you guys later! Oh! And I'd also like to apologize if Hiei's a little OOC. I can never seem to really get him IN character. It so bites.

And cheerleading is really taking up my time right now. Also I have Harry Potter Club, Drama…so many damn things that I just wanna get rid of but can't.

I'll take down this note with the next chapter. So don't worry. AND PLEASE DON'T REPORT ME! If you report me, then this story gets taken down. That'll make me really really sad. But, just so that I don't have to worry about that, I'm going to try and make this the 'Mission Yukina' chapter as best as I can….thing is I never really paid attention to the Toguro thing…but I'll try my best. Laters!

Part Six: Waking Up

Yume blinked, looking up at the ceiling that greeted her now-awakening eyes. "Hm?" she groaned, sitting up, holding her head. Her hair, free of its' braids, hung around her in tiny waves, making her look like a pained angel. "Where…am I?"

"Well, about time you woke up." Came Kuwabara's voice.

Said teen sat in a chair backwards, with Kurama standing against the wall.

"Where am I?" she muttered.

"You're in my room. Which you've been in for the past three days so far."

"Three days? Damn."

"School's been closed for a month due to it looking like a war zone. Oh, and I called your mom and Keiko so you don't have to worry about that."

Yume looked around the room, noticing that something was missing. Her eyes narrowed. "And what about Hiei?"

Kuwabara and Kurama stiffened and looked at the ground.

"What happened to him!" she yelled.

Kuwabara stared at the ground, eyes shut.

Kurama grit his teeth, looking out the window.

"Where is he!" she yelled, standing up and grabbing hold of Kuwabara's shirt. "You'd better do something better than just sitting there gritting your teeth!"

A sudden voice from the door startled her. "What are you going on about, Detective? I'm right here. Now lie down."

Yume looked over at the door, seeing it open, a certain pyro standing in the open doorway, carrying…a First Aid kit?

"Hiei…? But…"

Kuwabara snorted. "That was so great!"

Kurama snickered. "Sorry Yume…he insisted…" he held back a laugh behind his hand, but failed, laughing outright.

"You should have seen the look on your face!" yelled Kuwabara.

Yume growled, and would have attacked him if she hadn't suddenly found herself underneath Hiei, pinned to Kuwabara's bed.

"Hn. Baka detective. If you keep moving around, you're going to open up that wound in your side and arm."

Yume blinked, blushing brightly. She looked away from him.

She felt her shirt shift. "Hey!"

"Oh shut up. It's not like I haven't seen you shirtless before." Hiei muttered, pulling it off, revealing the bandages covering her entire torso and left upper arm.

Yume blushed harder as he removed the bandages, unwrapping the red-stained bandages slowly.

Her blush only strengthened when his hand brushed her chest a little more than necessary.

Kurama couldn't hold back the surge of jealousy that swelled in his chest.

Kuwabara had gotten up and left to get them all some food.

Kurama excused himself, saying he had to go home.

After he left, Hiei's shoulders lost their stiffness, and he seemed a little more relaxed.

He pulled the last bit of the bandage off her, and he studied the damage.

There were two lacerations, though thin, in her sides, and quite a few cuts across her breasts, and her left arm was broken….again.

Hiei shook his head, and picked up a warm washcloth, wiping it across the dried blood that had gathered around her wounds, crusting and flaking.

She squirmed. "Hiei…are you sure you should be the one doing this?"

He glared at her. "Shut up. That idiots' sister doesn't know anything about First Aid, the fox couldn't even take your shirt off without nearly fainting with the amount of blood rushed to his face. And…don't even get me started on the idiot."

Yume blushed harder, looking away from him.

"You…scared me, y'know?" Hiei muttered while he wiped away the last of the blood.

Yume blinked. "What?"

"I…I thought you were dead. Again. And I was scared."

Yume smiled softly. "So you were worried about me?"

"Yume, I told you in our mind conversation that we all care about you, some of us more than others."

Yume's smile widened. She now partially understood how Hiei spoke. You just had to look at the underlying tone in his words. This was the closest she would ever get to an 'I like you.' "Oh, Hiei. That's so sweet."

Hiei blushed, the red going across his nose and cheeks adorably.

Hiei quickly finished wrapping up her wounds, and tried to jump up and off of her, but only managed in making himself fall on her. And I mean really on accident.

Yume grunted. "Well, do you like making a habit of falling on me?"

Hiei: "Hn."

Hiei felt two warm arms encircle him, and he looked down at her.

Was she trying to hug him again?

Yume smiled, pulling him down next to her. She yawned. "Good night, Hiei." She burrowed her face into the soft fabric of his shirt, yawning cutely, her arms firmly wrapped around his hips.

Hiei blinked as Yume fell into dreamworld. He couldn't move at all. He sighed, knowing there was no escape. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, resting his cheek on her soft hair, taking in its scent. He gently kissed her hair, thankful she was asleep.

She…smells like strawberries…and chocolate. Hiei smiled, knowing she couldn't see it, and allowed himself to fall asleep, wrapped in the warm arms of the only girl he had ever trusted with his life.

And hopefully she wouldn't break that trust.

He would allow himself a moment of weakness…for now.

A/N: Well, there it is. That's the last update you guys are gonna get for the next…well, for a while. You can still vote people! Don't forget! PLEASE VOTE! Damn, that was the LONGEST DAMN CHAPTER I have ever written…my hands HURT!
