NO RECAP!

HIEI'S POV

Why, WHY did I have to say yes?! I stood next to Yumi who was the happiest girl in the world. She was in a green apron icing a cake. "Thanks so much Hiei!" she said to me. I couldn't help but smile back. Her smile was so.. Infectious. They had just given me garbage duty when they saw what I had done trying to ice a cake. Lets just say I'm not that good.

Well, I did get something out of this though. Yumi agreed to be my slave. I couldn't help but smirk at the thought as I swept. She seemed to be having a lot of fun. I began to listen to her thoughts. (Kyaa!!! I still can't believe he did this for me. I know he hates these ningens. I'd feel the same if I hadn't been one of them, why in the seven hells is he looking at me like that?) It was only when I heard that I realized I'd been staring.

I blushed God knows how many colours and turned away. (and he has a cute blush too) I smiled a bit. Nice to know she thought that. (Hmm, I sure hope he isn't listening, but I'll go ahead and admit it won't be bad being his slave, whatever he makes me do. Hopefully no housework, more along the lines of.. Well..) I was pulled from her thoughts when our manger began to speak to me. "Oh, Hiei, I'm sorry to trouble you but would you mind cleaning out the freezer?" the young ningen asked.

I just nodded. (Oh Gods he's so cute!) I really was tired of random girls thinking that. I went over and opened the large freezer. All of the random pieces of cake and icing were frozen into the ice. Would it be too bad to cheat..? I put my hand on the ice and it liquefied. I mopped up all the water and scrubbed it thoroughly.

YUMI'S POV

My first week of work was great! There was always something to look forward to after school and tutoring Hiei was beginning to be a lot of fun. On our break we put out our Calculus books and study. But the really fun part is when he gets the right answer, I give him a bite of cake and ice-cream. "48," he said. I nodded and fed him again. I read him another problem and he started to work on it. Could it get any better?

The bell at the front of the store rang and I looked up to greet the customer. I froze instantly as soon as I saw who it was. It was my sister. What the hell was she doing in London?! I buried my face in my calculus book. "59, hey, what are you doing?" Hiei asked. "Shh!!!" I hissed. He looked up and saw her. "Read my thoughts ok?" I whispered. That's my sister Selene, she looks a lot like my former human self. She's eight years older than me and if she finds me, well, let's just say my sister knows how to get this vampire down.

Hiei nodded and I slowly stood up trying to make my way to the back. "Hey you," Selene called after me. I gulped and turned around. Please I beg you God, don't let her recognize me. "I need to put a special order in for a cake. My mom's coming to visit me for Christmas and I'm not the cook of the family. Wait.. Have I seen you before?" she asked closing in on me. I shook my head no. Her eye's widened. "N-No, you c-can't be.." She trailed off. Hiei came over and stood in front of me. "What did you need miss," Hiei asked.

"J-Jen?" she said reaching out to touch my face, but Hiei blocked her again. "What did you need miss?" Hiei repeated the question but there was a sudden hostility. Selene fished through her pocket without taking her eyes off me. She handed Hiei a piece of paper with instructions written on it. "I'm sorry, you look a lot like some one I use to love," My sister said turning around. I couldn't take it anymore. I broke down. "U-Use to?" I asked, tears coming to my eyes. "Why should I give a damn about my sister when she abandoned me and my mother," Selene hissed. A knot formed in my stomach. "You don't mean that," I said with a trembling voice.

"You think I'm kidding? She left me with our emotionally wrecked mother who has to take even MORE medication to not be depressed!" She was shouting now. I fell to my knees. Selene gave me a strange look. "So you're Jen aren't you?" My sister asked bitterly. "You've turned into a cold heartless bitch," my sister stabbed at my heart. "Shut Up!!!!" I shouted, "You don't even know what you're talking about!"

"Oh really?! Did you not leave us alone in that God forsaken southern state?!" she screamed. (Your eyes are red.) Hiei take her outside so I can explain before I end up killing someone. Hiei grabbed my sisters arm. "What the Fck do you think you're doing shorty?" my sister hissed. "I suggest you come with me and don't call me short if you want to live," I answered in a calmly scary tone. My sister scowled but followed him outside and to the back.

I threw open the freezer to cool off, literally. Eventually I walked out the back door and saw my sister sitting on a box with a cigarette in her mouth and Hiei leaning against the wall. I took a deep breath. "Well sis, do want to know why I left? To know why I couldn't come back and never will?" I asked. She flipped me off and I smirked. "Well here's the truth, though I'm quite sure you won't believe me," I said.

"Try me," she said taking a deep breath from the cancer stick. "I'm a vampire," I said casually. "Jen, don't fck around with me, why'd you leave," my sister stubbing out her cigarette. "I just told you," I said crossing my arms. "Bull," she said. "Need proof?" I asked. She gave me a bitter laugh and nodded. "Fine" I muttered. Hmm what should I do? "Take you pick: inhuman speed and strength, drinking blood, but then you've already got one, my appearance," I said. She shrugged. "Plastic surgery," my sister muttered. "Hiei, will you bring me a bag of blood?" I asked. Hiei was gone for two minutes before reappearing with a bag of blood.

I bit into the corner and downed it quickly. My sister raised an eyebrow. "Strong stomach," she said. I growled. I picked her up with one hand. "So you're strong, it takes my boyfriend just one hand to pick me up," she said. Then I picked up the dumpster and balanced it on one finger. "Now we're getting somewhere," my sister said lighting another cigarette. "So now you believe me?" I asked. She nodded but she didn't seem very surprised.

"But you did answer why you didn't come back," she said. "I just learned how to control myself around blood," I said, "And I'm not coming back for fear of our crazy religious family." She just sat there thinking. She stood up and hugged and kissed my cheek. "Alright sis, I wont tell momma that I saw you tonight, but you really should see her sometime, she's been a wreck ever since you left," she said and started crying.

I patted her back until she stopped. She looked over at Hiei and asked, "Who is he?" "Her boyfriend," Hiei answered. Is that what he was to me? When did he start being that? "You finally got a cute guy," my sister said nudging my arm. I gave her a weak smile. "Well, I'd better head home, I'll stop in once in a while to say hi ok?" I nodded and she hopped the fence.

"So we're quitting?" Hiei asked after a few minutes. I just nodded. I couldn't deal with my family. No matter how strong I was physically, I was still, and probably always will be, an emotional wreck. I took off my apron and put it on the counter when we got inside. My manager looked at me. "I don't mind giving you a raise. Even though you've only been here a week you're the best we've got," she said with a pleading look. "I'll only do one last cake, and I'm going to pay for it. Tell the girl who picks it up that I'm sorry but I won't be where she can reach me," I said walking to the back and began to fill out my sister's requirements.

Hiei just watched occasionally getting tastes here and there. I finished five hours later and wrote my sister a note.

'Dear Selene,

You know I love you from the bottom of my heart along with the rest of my family, but mom's not the only one who got hurt. Don't you ever tell her you saw me because I know that would kill her. My dearest sister, you may be older and think you know what's right but I was forced to grow up a lot faster than you think. Trust me, this is for the better.

Love, your sister,

Jenna'

Hiei quit with me as well. "Hiei can we walk home?" I asked. He just nodded and I started down the dark street. Hiei caught up to me and gently grabbed my hand. "We'll find another good work place okay?" he said. I couldn't stop the tears now. I just nodded as the cold night began to freeze my tears to my cheeks. He kissed my forehead and we walked back to the mansion.
