First of all, I'm sooooooooo sorry for taking so long to update but I had the worst writer's block in the history of the world. (okay, maybe not that bad, but you get the idea) I'm nearing the end of this story and the ending that I origionally planned didn't appeal to me anymore, so I couldn't think of what road to take to the conclution. Now I have a pretty good idea of what's going to be in the later chapters, so updates should be smoother.


Yukina ran toward the figure that had its' back to her. The figure was a man, though short, and was walking away from her. Even though Yukina was running as fast as she could, it seemed as though she was never getting any closer to him. But nevertheless, she kept on going as fast as she can, Yukina knew that the man before had to be her brother, she just knew. "Yamaha!" She called, tears streaming down her cheeks from the pain in her side. "Yamaha please wait!"

His pace slowed a bit, as though while wanting to turn around, he also knew that he should not.

Yukina's vision was going blurry, "Hiei, please!"

The ice maiden awoke and jolted into a sitting position, breathing heavily and broken out in a cold sweat. She took in her surroundings, noticing that she was still in her bed and whatever had troubled her so much had just been a bad dream.

She closed her eyes, trying to remember her nightmare, but it had slipped away from her as she was calming herself down and now it was a complete haze in her mind.

Yukina shook it off the memory and swung her legs over the side of her bed in order to begin her daily routine.

A hooded figure watched the beautiful ice maiden through her window from a distance. To anyone who bothered to look up they would see this mysterious man standing in thin air. But alas, humans had short attention spans and the man went unnoticed.

He smiled to himself. "She's the key. With her, I will finally be able to complete my life's goal…" he said softly as he slowly disappeared.

"Good morning Hiei." Kurama asked, too cheerful for the fire demon at seven o'clock in the morning.

Hiei sat down in a chair in Kurama's kitchen and grunted. "I still do not understand why you kept me here."

Kurama sighed. "I didn't want you to go a whole day without celebrating your birthday at all." He replied. "Now, what would you like to eat?"

"I'm not interested in any food in this house." He answered rather grumpily.

The redhead chuckled softly and pulled something out of the freezer and placed it on the table. "Not even some ice cream?"

Hiei stared at the carton of ice cream and sighed, Kurama had placed his ultimate food weakness in front of him. "Fine…" he answered seeming reluctantly, but his eyes seemed happy.

Kurama smiled, he took out a bowl and a scooper. Hiei stared at the strange utensils. "What are those for?" he asked.

"They help me get ice cream out of the carton." He replied.

Hiei shook his head. "Just a spoon will be fine." He said, pulling the ice cream carton closer to himself.

There was a small knock on the door. "I'm coming!" Yukina called. She raced down the stairs and opened the door. Her heart leapt when she saw who the unexpected visitor.

"Hello." Touya greeted softly.

A small blush appeared on Yukina's face. "H… Hello." She stammered. "Would you like to come inside?" she offered.

"Actually…" the ice master started. "I wanted to know if you wanted to spend some time with me maybe we could have lunch… together."

Yukina smiled. "I would love that…" she answered.

Hiei walked through the street. There were so many stores and people that Hiei began to become annoyed. Suddenly, a pair of hands were placed over his eyes.

"Guess who?" a familiar cheerful voice rang out from behind him.

Hiei sighed. "Yes Botan?

The hands were removed and Hiei spun around. "Bingo!" Botan laughed.

"Come on Vanessa, ask him! You think he's hot don't you?" Hiei heard a group of teenage girls near him saying. They were pushing a girl toward him. Hiei looked at her and she blushed.

"Umm… hello, I'm Vanessa and I wanted to know if you wanted to get a cup of coffee?" she seemed very shy and nervous around Hiei.

Hiei sighed, very annoyed. "Sorry but…" he started. Botan grabbed his hand like a girlfriend would and smiled very cutely.

"Sorry, but we're on a date right now." She said. Hiei tensed and glared at Botan.

Vanessa looked horrified and her face was completely red. "Oh, I'm sorry I'll just…" she didn't finish her sentence and ran back to her friends in embarrassment.

"Are you actually fantasizing that I would be involved in a romantic relationship with you?" he asked, annoyed.

Botan giggled. "I just said it to make her go away, girls can be persistent when it comes to guys."

"Oh." Hiei paused for a second. "Would you mind giving my hand back?"

Botan giggled again. "Not yet, you'll run off. Let's go have lunch together." She smiled hopefully.

Hiei groaned. "You're very annoying…"

"Like I said, girls are persistent when it comes to guys."

"Humph… fine." Hiei agreed reluctantly, still glaring at Botan.

After a while of searching around and some arguing (and many attempts made by Hiei to escape), Botan had picked out a small café and they both sat down for lunch.

"It's a very nice day today." Botan said.

"Hn."

"And the food looks good."

"Hn."

"Hiei, you really should at least try to participate in a conversation…" The blue haired woman suggested.

"I agreed to let you drag me here to have lunch with you; I did not agree to pretend to enjoy myself or pay attention to what you say."

Botan sighed. "This may possibly be the most romantic date I have ever been on." She said sarcastically.

Hiei rolled his eyes. "That's understandable if you've had to force men to go on every date with you in the past."

Botan looked angry. "Well you know what? I…!"

"Hey Botan." A goofy voice resonated from behind them.

Botan turned. "Hello Kuwabarra." She replied, calming down. She raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?" Before Kuwabarra had a chance to answer, Botan saw Touya and Yukina walking on the other side of the street. She waved. "Hey Yu…" Kuwabarra jumped and places his hand over Botan's mouth to silence her.

"Shh…" he said, releasing Botan. "I've been fallowing Yukina and… him."

The blue-haired woman looked disgusted. "You're a stalker?" she asked.

Kuwabarra crossed his arms. "Well, if you say it like that…" he sighed. "I was planning on finally asking Yukina out and then I saw her walking around with him, laughing and eating lunch and blushing... alot. So I've been thinking of a way to spit them up…"

Hiei glared at the big oaf. "Listen to me… if you dare get in between Touya and Yukina… I'll kill you." He threatened. Hiei wanted Yukina to be happy, he didn't like the idea of Yukina and Touya together but he loathed the thought of his sister and Kuwabarra in a relationship.

"Why are you so protective?" Kuwabarra asked.

"That's none of your concern…"

"Botan, can't you help me?" the oaf begged.

Botan gave a nervous laugh. "Sorry, but I value my life."

Kuwabarra pouted. "Fine then, can I hang out with you for lunch?"

The blue-haired woman twitched nervously. "Well… actually."

Hiei spoke up. "We were on a date you baka." Hiei told Kuwabarra. "And we would appreciate it if you would leave."

Kuwabarra looked stunned for a moment. Finally he began to walk away. "Fine…" he mumbled.

Botan sighed and leaned back in her chair. "Thank you…" she said.

Hiei rolled his eyes. "I didn't want to spend any time with that big oaf, and even I am not cruel enough to leave you alone with him."

Botan smiled. "You know what? This really is the most romantic date I have ever been on." She said sincerely.

Hiei grunted. "Don't be overconfident." He warned. "I'm still here out of pity, nothing more."

Botan nodded. "That's fine with me." She replied.

Yukina and Touya were sitting at a park bench. Touya saw a shaved ice vendor. He turned to Yukina and pointed. "It's very warm out here, would you like some shaved ice?" he asked her.

Yukina smiled and nodded. "I would like that." She replied quietly.

Touya watched her for a moment and leaned foreword. He softly kissed her forehead. "Then I shall be back in a moment."

The ice maiden's face was extremely red and her heart was beating very fast. "Touya…" she said softly, even though the ice master was out of hearing range at the moment. Just his name brought her comfort.

A shadow fell over her and Yukina turned around out of curiosity. A pair of hands silenced her even before she had the chance to scream.

Touya returned to the park bench to find that Yukina had disappeared. "Where is she?" he wondered aloud. A trash can right near the bench had been knocked over and there was a necklace with a broken chain laying on the ground. Upon further inspection, Touya realized that the necklace was the tear gem that Yukina always wore around her neck. His eyes widened, realizing that something bad had happened. "Yukina…"

So, did you like it? Please review, I would love to hear what y'all have to say.
