Authors Note: Back again with more Hiei/Kuwabara lovin.. let's on waste time.. Enjoy my ducklings.

You'll always be alone. Do you really think anyone will ever want you. You're a pathetic imiko. You will always be unloved. It's a dream. I know it's a dream. But it's real and honest and raw in emotion. I try to shake the thoughts. To wake myself up. But those words keep repeating. It's raining. I can feel the water drip down my face. It's cold at first then warms when it connects to me. It splashes on my closed lids and I let my eyes open.

I'm laying against the tree. How long have I been asleep.

It's not raining. Where is that water coming from.

"So, sleeping beauty's finally awake." Kuwabara is in the water. A pile of clothes neatly folded beside me. "Care for a swim. The water feels great." I can't swim. So I don't get up.

"It's not deep." Looks like the bastard is still infiltrating my mind. "I'm sure you could touch the bottom as long as you don't go to far out." I don't get up. "Relax, you can keep your boxers on, I did." Boxers? Oh yeah. That's the undergarments that humans wear. I don't wear any undergarments. "Even better. Come on." I don't move He starts walking out of the water. His undergarments are soaked, his entire body is dripping water. His chest is broad- a few scars that I never noticed before. He's masculine. And something about that is a turn on. The water sliding down his muscles is hypnotizing and I can't help the quieted moan of need. I'm not use to desiring someone. When he smirks at me I knock the thoughts from my head.

"Get the hell out of my mind."

"I can't, I enjoy hearing your thoughts, they are cute." He grabs me and I'm pressed against his slick chest. I don't struggle. But I don't grab on to him either. He's walking back to the water. When did I start thrashing around. If he drops me I really can't swim. "I'm not going to drop you. Trust me. It's fun to play in water."

"I don't want to play in the water. Damn it Kuwabara, let me go." I can feel water on my back. He's waste deep in.

"Are you sure you want me to let you go." Stupid jerk. He's toying with me.

"Bring me back to the tree." He steps further in the water. The water is now up to his chest. I'm shoulders deep in. If he lets me go, I won't be able to reach. I don't like this.

"I'm not going to let you go. Just relax. The water feels nice doesn't it." He's smiling at me. I don't trust people. I'm not use to it. His arm is holding me up, It's not wavering. I know he wouldn't. I know he wouldn't. Just relax. The water does feel nice. And I'm perfectly safe. Kuwabara would never let any harm come to any of his friends. And I suppose we are friends. He chuckles. Get out of my mind.

'Can't do that sweetstuff. Your mind just screams for me to be in it.'

"I don't know how to be part of someone's life." The words are blunt and I don't realize I'm speaking before they are all off.

"Is this about me or about Yukina."

"Neither. Both. We are taught how to love from the ones that raise us. I was raised by bandits. Love is not what they were known for. Affection, being cared for. Those are not norms in my life. If allowed to be a part of either yours or Yukina's life, I will only harm you, and leave you both feeling empty."

"Hiei, I have a confession. I was not going to tell you because I didn't think you are ready to know. You still may not be ready to know. But I can see how afraid you are about her finding out."

"What are you getting on about?"

"Yukina already knows that you are her brother."
