I am so sorry for taking so long to update. i'm not going to tell you why because that would just be telling you stuff you don't really care about. ". So here it is chapter four, Enjoy!

Finally Hiei opened the door to his apartment and let Kagome in before letting himself in. Kagome smiled. "Aw Hiei thanks! You're such a gentleman!" Kagome looked around the apartment and smiled. She turned around and watched Hiei lock the door and turn to her. "Nice place you have." Hiei nodded. Kagome followed Hiei into the kitchen and placed the three bags of food on the counter. She then followed him to his bedroom in the back, passing a bathroom, a closet and another bedroom. The bathroom was decorated with dark blue and gold. The rug on the white floor was dark blue lined with gold and the curtains were as well. The towels hanging on the towel rail were dark blue and gold, the walls were just dark blue. They reached Hiei's room and he opened the door. In the right corner of the wall in front of them, was a twin-sized bed, black sheets and pillows. To the left of the bed on the same wall was a window. On the wall to the left of them sat a black desk by a closet. The walls were a plain white and the carpet beneath them was black. "I'm guessing that you favorite color is black." Kagome muttered.

"Where do I put my stuff at?" "In the closet." Kagome opened the closet and literally threw her bags in it. Hiei sweatdroped. Kagome turned around smiling and looked at Hiei. "Can I take a shower?" Hiei nodded and went to get her a towel. Kagome dug threw her bag and pulled out her underwear, a set of pj's, and the stuff she needed for a shower. When Hiei returned she had dropped her concealment spells and was in her demon form. "Thanks!" Kagome took the towel and went into the bathroom shutting the door behind her.

Hiei went into the kitchen and put up the newly bought food and then went into the den with a whole carton of ice cream. Hiei turned on the TV and began watching it. A while after Kagome opened the bathroom door and walked into the den where Hiei was. She had on a black spaghetti strap shirt, a pair of fire red shorts and a pair of black socks. Kagome went over to the couch and sat down beside Hiei silently. Hiei tried very hard to concentrate on the TV but his eyes kept on wandering over to Kagome. Kagome sighed and glanced over at Hiei. Pale blue met Crimson red for a brief second before both snapped their heads back to the TV blushing. Kagome still had a blush covering her face when she spoke to Hiei again.

"So Hiei what are your friends like?" Hiei turned to Kagome and stared. He didn't want to say anything but when he opened his mouth, for the first time in his life, he couldn't close it. "I work with an idiot, a loud mouth and a Kitsune." "Are they your friends?" "...I suppose." Kagome smiled. " Do you have any siblings?" Hiei stiffened and Kagome noticed. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, that's fine." Kagome said soothingly while patting his hand. "I...have a twin sister. Her names Yukina and she's a full Koorime." "Why doesn't she live with you?" Kagome asked heasently. "She doesn't know I'm her brother, I haven't told her." They sat in silence before Kagome sighed and stared up at the ceiling.

"I had a brother, he was my twin, but he was a full elemental Darkness dragon. He had shoulder length black hair with a crimson sheen and piercing crimson eyes, I'm guessing like my father. We were separated at birth when our parents split. I went with my mother and him with my father. At ten I was orphaned when my mother was killed, so I just wondered around for about two years, until I was twelve, and living with a group of thieves. One day I saw this boy by the river, and when he turned to look at me I knew he was my brother. I can't say if he recognized me and just didn't say anything but I wasn't going to tell him in fear of rejection. We became good friends. I left the group of thieves and traveled with my brother so we could be together everyday, and I thought he'd always be there so I just kept procrastinating and didn't tell him." Hiei listened intently to Kagome. She sighed and looked down her bangs covering her eyes and arms crossed as if she were hugging herself.

"One day when my brother and I were playing in a field of wild flowers a strange demon came for me and tried to kill me because I was forbidden. My brother...fought hard and killed the demon but was badly injured; he had deadly poison running through his veins. I told him to hold on and I took off to the nearest village for help, all rejected me and all I got was a slap in the face and a kick in the stomach. I limped back to my brother and held his head in my lap. He said to me, " Kagome, you're the best and only friend I've ever had, It's almost like you are my sister. I wish you were so id at least have some family left to miss me and cry for me when I die. guess it's too late huh?" and then... he died In my arms." Kagome had tears in her eyes as they fell slowly down her face. Kagome gasped when she felt Hiei hugging her. She turned to Hiei and hugged him tightly back. "Don't let her go Hiei. Anything can happen." Hiei nodded and continued to hold Kagome as she held him, both were again lost in their thoughts.

+Hiei's point of view+ I don't know what came over me when I hugged Kagome, it's like I felt a deep connection with her. We're similar in some ways, we're both forbidden, we both have- had siblings that don't know us...and she, and I, just want to belong somewhere...(Sigh)...maybe, she can belong her? with me? but what reason does she have to stay here? not that I want her to...do I? I have nothing to offer.

+Normal Point of view+

Kagome buried her face in Hiei's neck. 'I feel so safe with Hiei...much safer that I ever did with Inuyasha, why is that?' Kagome thought. Hiei shifted and started moving. Hiei let go of Kagome and she let go of him. Hiei sighed, closed his eyes and put his ice cream down. Then he stood and went into the bathroom to take a shower with out another word. Kagome stared after Hiei until he was out of sight and then lay down on the couch. She wiped her eyes and picked up the remote to the TV and began to channel surf. "Hm? What's this? "The Titanic"? Looks interesting." Kagome sat up and focused on the TV screen.

-------------------------------------------------------With Hiei-----------------------------------------------

The water stopped running as the curtain opened and Hiei stepped out the shower. Hiei reached for a towel and wrapped it around his lower body when his communicator rung. It was Kuwabara. "What?" "Oh, hey shrimpy! How are you?" Hiei rolled his eyes. "What do you want?" "Oh yeah Koenma wants to talk to you something about his lunch." Hiei's eyes flashed red before they changed back to the usual crimson. " You can tell Koenma I'm not s-" "That's all right he's right here you can tell him." Kuwabara said his face disappearing from the communicator screen. "You buffoon don't-" "Hiei! You have a lot of explaining to do! What were you thinking when..." Hiei sighed as Koenma babbled on and on and on.

--------------------------------------------------With Kagome----------------------------------------------

Kagome reached over to where Hiei put his ice cream down and pulled it to her. Kagome started eating it while watching the movie with fierce intensity. Kagome jumped up from her seat. "Stupid! She should know better! He couldn't have stolen the necklace if he was with her the whole time! Ugh stupid humans!" Kagome said exasperatedly sitting back on the couch and continuing to watch the movie. About Thirty minutes later Kagome had tears in her eyes. " Oh my gosh, that's so sad. They loved each other so much and when they were finally free from all the others, He dies." Kagome let her tears fall. 'Will I ever find a love that true?'

---------------------------------------------------With Hiei---------------------------------------------------

"And I expect to see you first thing in the morning, is that clear?" Hiei growled. "Yes." "Good." Hiei shut the communicator. 'Finally' Hiei thought walking out the bathroom. Hiei wore a pair of black pants and white socks, no shirt. Hiei walked down the hallway to the den and stopped at what he saw.

+Hiei's point of view+

There on my couch was Kagome dead asleep with an empty container of my ice cream in her hand and a spoon hanging out of her mouth. I had to admit she did look...cute...like that. I sighed and started walking over to her. I stopped again when I was tear gems on the floor and couch. 'What was she crying for?' I gently took the spoon from her mouth and the empty container from her hand and put them on the coffee table. As I lifted her from the couch and into my arms, bridal style, she shifted a little and buried her nose in the crook of my neck. As she slept on I blushed at the feel of her breath on my neck. ' I've been doing that a lot lately.' I thought before walking to my room.

----------------------------------------------Normal point of view-----------------------------------------

Hiei pushed the door of his room open with his foot gently before walking in. Hiei pulled the cover of his bed back and laid Kagome down, then covered her up. Hiei tucked Kagome in and then his hand caressed her cheek. Kagome began growling lightly in her sleep showing she liked it. Hiei pulled away instantly and stumbled back away from her. 'I must be tired.' Hiei thought walking out his room shutting the door behind him. Hiei walked to the hallway closet and pulled out a blanket. He then walked into the den, turning off all the lights. Hiei laid down on the couch covering himself as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
