Hiei's Kage- I'm glad you enjoy it.

Again, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update. I keep getting so dizzy it's hard for me to look at the computer screen sometimes. I checked my e-mail today so I could open a file for school and saw the reviews y'all sent. I felt so happy that once I stopped feeling dizzy I tried my best to complete as much of the story I could do. I'm trying my best to make the chapters longer.

And now to the story! I hope y'all like it!


Hiei sat on Kurama's couch and looked around the room. Kurama had offered to let Yukina's surprise party be at his house, but Botan had done most of the plans, including decorating. Hiei stared at one of the pink balloons, as if he thought that if he concentrated on it hard enough, it might pop or change into a different color, however his efforts were wasted, as the balloon remained its bright shade of pink and fully intact.

Botan walked around the room, searching for anything more to do. Hiei could tell that she took planning things like this seriously. Suddenly she sat down on the couch and sighed. "I feel like I've forgotten something important." She said.

Hiei glanced at her as Kurama walked into the room; he was carrying the banner that Botan had made with a large strip of paper and many different types of paints that she had bought the previous day.

"We have the decorations and the cake." Kurama assured her, trying to be helpful. He thought for a moment, trying to remember anything else that needed to be attended to. "And you invited the guests right?"

Botan nodded. "Yes," she answered, the puzzled expression never dropped from her face. "I'm sure I did." She smiled slightly as if she was remembering something somewhat funny.

It was Hiei's turn to question Botan. He raised his head and looked into the woman's violet eyes. "I've been wondering…" he started to ask. "When exactly, is Yukina going to be here?"

Botan eyes widened in horror as she jumped to her feet. "Oh my god, Yukina!" She screamed so suddenly that Kurama almost dropped the colorful banner that he had been so kind to fetch. Hiei slowly scooted farther away from Botan, convinced that the blue haired woman had finally lost her mind. "I forgot to tell Yukina to come!" she said in a quieter voice, mentally punishing herself for forgetting the most important detail.

Hiei shook his head. "You forgot you invite Yukina to her own party?" he asked, arching a questioning eyebrow.

Botan looked at him, like a child preparing an excuse to get out of trouble. "I was thinking about it and just sort of… forgot."

Hiei shook his head as if her were mentally saying, "That was stupid…"

The blue-haired looked at the clock. "It's almost time." She said. Botan took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Okay," she calmly said. "I've got it. Kurama and I will stay here and put up the banner, and Hiei will go and get Yukina."

Hiei looked up at her, as if she was crazy. "I'm going to get Yukina?" he asked. It wasn't as if he didn't want to see his sister, he was just absorbed in keeping his secret that being alone with Yukina seemed risky.

Botan smiled and nodded. "Yes, of course." She said. "I would let Kurama go but I need his help putting up the banner since he's… taller." Botan paused for a moment. "Besides," she started. "You're faster than any of us."

Hiei couldn't argue with her reasons. He looked to Kurama for help, who only shrugged. Hiei sighed. "Fine." He said finally, getting up from his comfortable seat, he headed for the door. Once he touched the handle Hiei looked back at his two 'friends'. "And just what am I supposed to tell her?" He asked.

Botan shrugged. "You'll be able to think of something." She said in a carefree manner.

The annoyed Hiei rolled his eyes as he opened the door enough to let himself through and slammed it with a small bang.

Hiei took his time traveling to Yukina's house at first, just to spite Botan; but the thought of his sister made him quicken his pace until he was running so fast that any normal human wouldn't be able to see him. Finally after but a few minutes, he stopped at Yukina's front door. He knocked.

Yukina had been cleaning when she heard a knock. She looked up from her work and directly towards the sound before heading for the door. The young ice demon twisted the handle and opened the door a crack to see who her visitor was. Yukina smiled and opened the door the rest of the way. "Hello Hiei." He said as she bowed respectfully and politely to her friend. "It's an honor to have you here, might I do something for you?" she asked, her smile never faded.

Hiei looked at Yukina nervously before taking a silent breath. "I was wondering…" He started. Yukina looked at him, her kind eyes full of happiness. "would you like to take a walk with me?" He asked.

Yukina's smile shrunk slightly, she was rather surprised. Hiei felt a chill run over him, afraid that her expression meant that she really didn't want to. However, he was wrong.

Yukina's smile returned and she threw her arms around his neck in a friendly hug, suddenly she let go and bowed again. "I'm sorry." She apologized for the hug, her cheeks slightly pink. "I would love to." Yukina was overjoyed that Hiei wanted to spend time with her. She always thought of him as a friend, though most of the time he seemed quiet and kept to himself, she noticed that he seemed like a very nice person.

Hiei grinned slightly in one of his extremely rare smiles. He waited for her to step out of the house and lock the door, then he did something that surprised himself. He offered his arm to her like many men did (though he never did himself). Yukina smiled and gladly accepted the offer.

As they began to walk toward the direction of Kurama's house, Hiei looked at his sister. She was smiling, it made him feel happy that he could see Yukina smile around him, it made him feel triumphant over his pen-self. "Yamaha might be a better brother, but at least I can still help Yukina and not hide behind a scroll for a disguise." He thought to himself. For some reason, he was jealous of Yamaha. Though it was himself, Hiei felt like he and Yamaha were two different people.

"Isn't this…" Yukina started as they were but feet away from their destination. "Kurama's house?" she asked.

Hiei nodded. "I had something I wanted to ask him." He looked back at his sister. "Is it okay with you?" he asked.

Yukina nodded, with one of her sincere smiled. "Of course." She answered.

Hiei slowly opened the door and Yukina's mouth dropped in a shocked expression.


Did y'all like it? Next chapter will be the party. Fun times! Please review, I love to know what people think of my writing.

Oh, and just to avoid confusion, nothing that went on between Hiei and Yukina was anything more that simply good friends. I assure you that Hiei is not the person Yukina has a cruch on. Again, I'm just writing this to avoid confusion.
