A/N: Konichiwa! How is everyone doing? Thanks for the reviews; I hope people are actually enjoying this fic somewhat? Haha so yeah well keep reviewing? Pretty please?

Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, Yu Yu Hakusho isn't mine and neither is any of the characters, nor is Mizuki Ashiya, yeah so just get off my back, will ya?

Hiei found himself in Kurama's bedroom, a place where he had become accustomed to being in. On the nights that it would rain, Kurama would insist that Hiei stay with him rather than be out alone in the rain, sleeping in a tree within viewing distance of Kurama's house; his room, in particular.

Hiei enjoyed watching Kurama. Not so much as a stalker, but more as a protector. He was a guardian angel, in a way. He also loved spending the nights with the youko. He loved to smooth Kurama's long red hair as he slept so peacefully through the night, dreaming. That was one of the few times when Hiei felt genuinely happy. Come to think of it, most of those times had something to do with the redhead.

As Hiei sat on Kurama's bed, he suppressed the tears that were dying to flow. He felt as though he had lost everything. He felt inferior. He wanted to die. But first, he wanted answers.

Why did Kurama leaf him on if he had the intention of wedding the ningen girl? Or was it a misunderstanding. Were all those nights Kurama had begged Hiei to get out of the rain merely an act of friendly kindness? Had Hiei done something wrong? Something so unforgivable that would in the end cist him the love of his life. Damn.

Hiei's self-interrogation came to a screeching halt. The love of his fucking life. He would never be able to replace Kurama. That's impossible. He was is irreplaceable. Simply irreplaceable.

It was at this moment that Hiei abandoned all emotional defenses and began to let the Hiroseki stones, made from his tears, flow onto the bed and the floor. It sounded like a hail storm. Hiei was finally able to admit to himself, "I've lost Kurama to that stupid human bitch," and then exited through the window.

Back downstairs, it took everyone about five minutes that Hiei had left. "He was probably just bored with all the lovey-dovey stuff, that's all," Botan suggested. "Yes, I suppose you're probably right," Kurama said apprehensively.

While the others were caught up in conversation, Yukina spotted the Hiroseki stone. At first she thought it was hers, but dismissed the idea immediately. There was something that was somewhat dark about it. Hiei.

She decided that he must have fled to avoid anyone seeing him cry. He had gotten careless and let one slip. Just one tear was all it took though.

Yukina was in awe at the beauty of the probably one-of-a-kind gemstone. The apparition took the steps up to the most likely place to find Hiei if he was still in the house: Kurama's room.

As she entered the room she gasped; the entire floor was completely covered in Hiroseki stones. When she realized that this really was a big deal, she decided that she would go out and find her brother. And hopefully, it wasn't too late.
