Okay, disclaimers: I don't own YYH, okay? Well, this story is, of course, about my wonderful Hiei. This time, I'm going to include Yukina and their sibling bonding. Since it's near Christmas, I'll set that as my setting. Fits, huh? Enjoy and if you want… REVIEW

Early Christmas Rumors

Hiei deeply sighed as Kurama and Yusuke decorated a newly standing Christmas tree. They were swapping jokes and news together, which made Hiei sickened just watching it. He turned and leaned his head against the cold window to watch the snowfall. It reminded him of Yukina intensely. How he missed her so.

Kurama turned and looked at Hiei. "You should be in the holiday spirit, Hiei. We have a special gift for you," he told him. Hiei lifted his head and glared at Kurama. How dare he joke at his expense! Kurama flipped his hair and strung the last ornament in his hands and walked over to Hiei. "Seriously, I guarantee you'll love it." At that moment, Kuwabara came in carrying some cookies and eggnog.

"You guys, what's going on? Dammit, Yusuke, if you won't tell me I'll just have to beat it out of you," Kuwabara threatened as he laid down the tray of treats and picked up Eikichi, his pet cat.

"Damn, Kuwabara, you look just so threatening with a kitten in your arms," Yusuke replied. He sat down on the couch as Kuwabara did the same. "Your present is… 'Tied in' with someone else's." Yusuke snickered and gave a half way glance towards Hiei.

Hiei jerked his head in Yusuke's direction. He wouldn't…He couldn't! He would. Yu…Yukina! Hiei's face seemed frozen in a shocked position. When last he saw her, she had told him how he, Hiei, was more like a brother than anyone could be. She had then left for her homeland. He stood up, looking at the ground with murder in his eyes. "You bastard," he murmured and walked out of the room, leaving the rest of them to stair at him with surprise.

An hour later, Kurama met up with Yusuke in the kitchen. He had seen the love and pain in Hiei's eyes. "Yusuke, perhaps we misjudged our fun and games. Hiei will not take likely to our request for Yukina to come. It is plainly seen that he knows just with the hint you blurted out." He rested his elbow on the counter and placed his cheek on his hand.

Yusuke closed his eyes and gave aloud a deep sigh. " Yeah, I know. But it's too late to cancel. Besides, you didn't see the look on Yukina's face when Botan told her she was going to join us for Christmas." Yusuke took in a grin and smirked. "I don't know the gal too well but her smile sure did make me feel better. Hiei will just have to deal. Besides, Kuwabara will probably piss his pants when he finds out."

Back in a dark bedroom, Hiei sat, again, by the window seal, his arm resting on his knees. She's coming back. Here…to me. His head let loose and rested on the back wall. "Sister, I await for you, always," he whispered. Automatically, he reached in his shirt and pulled out his Hiruseki stone. Placing it near his heart, he could have sworn he felt his heart freeze with sibling love. "Yukina," he whispered again this time more affectionately, "I love you." A snowflake landed upon the windowsill and quickly dissolved. Hiei sat up and walked towards his bed. Rest, yes, he would get some rest tonight and dream of her. "It's the only way that we can be together." Taking off his shirt, he climbed into bed and slumbered the frosty night away. What awaits him later, is to beheld for all.
