"Kurama!" Yusuke called over to his friend fighting a fire demon in the forest. He and Kuwabara were about to attack when they saw the other fighter stop in his tracks. They weren't fighting; they were sparring. "Who's your friend?"

"This is Hiei," Kurama replied. "He and his sister are staying with me and my mother."

"Oh, okay then," Yusuke responded now understanding the situation. "Koenma gave us a case asking us to investigate demon energy fluctuations in this area. We were kind of worried."

Kurama smiled. "Honestly, it's nothing to worry about."

"Well, that's a relief," Kuwabara said coming out of nowhere. "So, you're a demon too, huh?"

"Hn, a fool in this world as well," Hiei sneered. "What a surprise."

"What did you say punk?" Kuwabara asked before attempting to punch Hiei, and just like what had happened in his own world, he dodged it and Kuwabara fell over.

"Wow, you're fast," Yusuke observed. "So, you're not a demon that wants to bite my head off, are you?"

"Hn, it would be a waste," Hiei replied thinking about Yusuke's demon transformation that would eventually happen.

"Well, I guess I'll take that as a compliment. So, a sister huh? I never had a sibling. Kinda wish I did, though. What's her name?"

"Yukina."

"That sounds pretty," Kuwabara said from his awkward position on the ground.

"You go anywhere near her and I'll kill you," Hiei spat venomously.

"It would be her choice, Hiei," Kurama explained. "That's how it works in Human World."

"I know that already. I just don't like this guy."

"Feeling's mutual."

"Hn."

Later that night, Hiei had a very strange dream. It started out with the day after he left on the ship and ended a few days later, like how much time had passed in this fake world.

Yukina was crying and Kuwabara couldn't understand why she was so upset about Hiei leaving. In his opinion, if the short, fire demon didn't want her to know, he didn't deserve her love. Yukina gave him a very Hiei like glare and told him if that was how he felt, he should stay away from her. Kuwabara would never understand why Hiei felt the need to hide it, but she did.

The next day Kurama went to check on her to see if she was okay. He had heard about the breakup from Yusuke and was worried about how she was holding up.

"Oh, Kurama," Yukina sobbed against his shoulder. "Do you think it was because of me?"

"No, Yukina," Kurama answered. "It was never you. Hiei loves you very much. What Shizuru said was spot on. Hiei was afraid of rejection. He and I both have pasts we aren't proud of."

"But it's not his fault!" Yukina exclaimed. "It was theirs. That's why I left. I wanted to know that my brother was alive and well."

"And now you do," Kurama reminded her.

"I know, but he left," Yukina said sadly.

"I promise you, Yukina, he will be back. It may take him a long time to accept the turn of events, but he will come back."

Hiei woke up with a start. "What the hell was that?" he asked to no one in particular. Had it been a dream? The emotions had felt so real. Was Yukina suffering in the real world while he was stuck here? How could he get back? He needed to be there for her.

"Such irony," a voice called out. Hiei turned to see the old man, who then turned into a middle-aged man.

"You! Where the hell did you send me?" Hiei asked bitterly.

"You didn't want to be in your world, so I sent you into another world that ended up being different. As you live your days here, time will pass in your world as it does here."

"I need to get back! Send be back this instant!" Hiei yelled.

"I can't do that, Hiei," the man said. "The only way you can go back is if you resolve what sent you here in the first place."

"But Yukina knows I'm her brother here," Hiei pointed out. "That's what happened to send me here, right?"

"I can't tell you. I'm sorry, Hiei, but if you want to get back, only you can help yourself."

The man disappeared leaving Hiei in his dark room, but he heard him say one last thing. "Every time you go to sleep, you will see snippets of what is happening in your world if you hadn't figured that out already."

Hiei was beyond angry at this point. He thought back to that night. What had to be resolved? He went to a sleepover; they played a game; Yukina found out the truth; and he left. Well, he had already resolved the last two. Yukina knew here too and he was with her. It then dawn on Hiei that he was going to need help. He didn't care how crazy he sounded. In the morning, he would talk to the fox and work on getting out of this world.

A/N: And now to the plot :D Hope you liked it. Anyway, I wanted to let you know, I have a lot of story ideas and I want to start on one of them, so I posted a poll. There's four stories to choose from: 2 YYH and 2 DBZ. I'll let you guys decide. They will eventually all be done, but I don't want to take on more than I can chew (I'm probably doing that already). Thanks ^_^
