Happy New Year, everyone. Here's a nice update for you :3 Also, this is going to be a chapter repeat as it will be a repeat of the slumber party. It follows the conversation with slight changes, thoughts, and actions so that it doesn't get too boring/repetitive.

It was finally time for the sleepover and Hiei was ready to go back home and make things right with his sister and best friend.

"Okay, so we just have to say all these things and then you get to go home?" Yusuke asked. Hiei nodded.

"Hm, I was never good at remembering lines," Kuwabara stated.

Hiei glared at him. Before he could say anything, Kurama put his hand on his shoulder. "Let's get started," he suggested.

Everyone took out the packet/script and started reading off lines.

"Okay guys, slumber party time!" Botan said in a cheery voice.

"What the hell is a slumber party?" Hiei asked, even though he actually understood the concept. I can't believe I'm going through this again, he thought.

Many eyes fell on him when Yusuke said, "Um, it's a party where you, uh, slumber?" The others, except for Hiei chuckled.

"That makes absolutely no sense," Hiei said, shooting Yusuke and the others a glare telling them to act according to the script. He didn't want anything to go wrong.

"Oh sure it does," Yusuke said. "We hang out, watch movies, play games…it's usually a girl thing though where they stay up all night and talk and gossip."

"Not every girl does that, Yusuke," Keiko said in irritation without even looking at the script for that one.

"Aw, come on, Keiko. You know I meant nothing by it."

"So what are we watching?" Kuwabara asked, changing the subject. "I say something scary."

"Uh, why something scary?" Yukina asked.

"Oh, uh, no reason," Kuwabara said nervously while holding his hands up.

"I say we watch something romantic," Keiko said.

"Oh, I agree," Botan said.

"We are NOT watching a chic-flick," Yusuke muttered.

"A what?"

"Seriously, Hiei. You have never had a slumber party or heard of what happens at a girl's slumber party?" Kuwabara asked.

"Hn. You're an idiot. I lived in Demon World all my life. How am I supposed to know anything about your trivial customs?"

"So I was right about you not having a childhood."

"SHUT UP!" Kuwabara jumped back. Sure, the script did have Hiei yelling, but he wasn't as used to it as his counterpart in Hiei's world.

"Okay, okay, take it easy. We're just messing with you," Yusuke said.

"Yes, this is all in good fun."

"Well, you've been awfully quiet, fox."

Kurama smiled. "Well, I was waiting to see whether you would leave or stay."

"I have better things to do," Hiei said getting up to leave.

"Like what?" Keiko asked.

The guys looked at her in surprise as was stated on the packet. Hiei just stared blankly at the door.

"Bad question, Keiko," Yusuke muttered.

"No, I'm serious. What do you have that's so important that you can't spend one night with your friends?

"Really bad question, Keiko," Yusuke said.

"Well, Hiei?" Keiko pressed.

"Hn," he said, sitting back down.

"I thought so."

"So what should we play? We can pick out a movie later," Botan recited.

"Hey, I have an idea."

"What is it, baby bro?"

"Let's play, what-if."

"Wha…What-if?"

"Yeah, shorty. I'll give an example. What if I never fought with Urameshi?"

"Ha, you'd probably die of boredom because you wouldn't be getting your ass kicked."

"Shut up, Urameshi!"

"Hn. Maybe this is a good game."

"If you think so, then why don't you try shorty," Kuwabara grumbled.

"Hm?"

"I'll go next," Kurama said. "What if I never came to the Human World?"

"Well duh," Yusuke said. "We would never have met you."

"And since you were killed, your soul would have gone to spirit world," Botan said.

"You were a thief, right?" Shizuru asked, receiving a nod. "You probably would have gone to hell."

Silence was followed by some nervous laughter on everyone's part minus Hiei who said nothing…again.

"I have one," Yukina said. "What if the ice village hadn't cast away my brother?"

Hiei froze and looked up at Yukina. "Wait…what ice village?" Yusuke asked.

"I was born in an ice village that looked down upon men and saw them as a curse. They threw my brother off the side of cliff when he was born, but Rui said he came back to look for our mother a while ago after I left."

Kurama, Yusuke, Botan, and Shizuru looked over at Hiei. Hiei growled. "What are you all looking at?"

"Why didn't you tell us that, Hiei?" Yusuke asked. Haha, I should win a Grammy for this.

"Wait, how would Hiei know?" Kuwabara asked.

"Jagan," Hiei said, before anyone else could say anything.

"No, seriously Hiei," Yusuke said.

"Seriously, detective. Shut up," Hiei hissed.

"I don't see what the problem is," Keiko said.

"It's nothing," Kurama said waving his hand. "Anyway, who wants to answer Yukina's question?"

"I think that if Yukina's brother wasn't cast out that neither of you would be in Human World in the first place," Shizuru said.

"And then we wouldn't have met two of our favorite people," Yusuke said.

"Two?" Keiko called out.

"Um, did I say two?" Yusuke asked nervously, not daring to look at Hiei's death glare. "I meant 'you, you...one of our favorite people, Yukina.'" Then Yusuke gave a nervous laugh.

Good save, but slip again and I'll kill you, Hiei said to Yusuke telepathically. Yusuke forced a smile but nearly screamed when he heard Hiei talking in his head.

Note to self: don't forget that he has telekinetic abilities.

Telepathic! Hiei growled in Yusuke's head.

"Your turn, Shizuru," Kuwabara said dragging everyone back into the scene.

"Okay, this goes with Yukina's. You said you were looking for your brother, right?" Yukina nodded. "Well, what if Yukina's brother actually told her that he was her brother?"

"Why don't you answer this one, Hiei?" Kurama asked. He received a glare and smiled.

"Yeah, I'd like to hear this one," Yusuke said, lying down on side using his arm as a headrest.

Hiei just glared at both of them and sighed in defeat. "If Yukina's brother decided to tell her the truth, she wouldn't be happy."

"Why do you say that, Hiei?" Keiko asked.

"Seriously, Keiko, stop with the bad questions," Yusuke said. Keiko "hmphed" even though it wasn't in the script. She still didn't like her boyfriend making fun of her. She honestly had no idea what was going on because it was still back during the time before she knew the truth. Keiko believed that they were acting out the scene in a play that Yusuke's cousin wrote so that he could go home and publish it.

"It was actually a very good question," Botan said defending Keiko. "Why do you think that, Hiei?"

"I can answer that," Shizuru said. "Maybe he's saying that her brother hates himself and expects her to hate him too."

"Hey, Shizuru, you can't add to the details. You asked the question," Kuwabara whined.

"I was just making an observation."

"An…observation?" Kuwabara asked confused. "What kind of observation? It's not like her brother is here, so how would you know?"

Before the four sets of eyes landed on Hiei again, he shot up. "I'm leaving," he growled as he walked out of Genkai's temple. Kurama went to follow him outside to finish this script.

"Did we do something wrong with his script?" Keiko asked.

"No Keiko," Yusuke said comfortingly. "We did it right." He smiled. He didn't really know Hiei, but the guy deserved to be happy and make things right. From the sound of the script, he had had a rough life. Hopefully, this would all work out.

"Hiei, just come back inside."

"Why?" Hiei asked, continuing the script. He remembered this part all too well.

"Well, let me ask a question."

"Does it have to do with that stupid game?"

"Yes."

"Then no."

"I'm asking it anyway. What if Yukina came to the conclusion that you're her brother all on her own?"

"I don't do 'what-ifs' fox. Go have your party."

"Hiei, what if this 'what if' was a reality."

"That makes no sense." Hiei turned to look at Kurama instead of flitting off.

"Come back, Hiei. You need to tell Yukina the truth."

Hiei nodded and followed. So far, so good.

Hiei and Kurama came back into the temple and Hiei went over to Yukina and pulled her aside.

"Yukina, I lied to you," he told her quietly. "I should have told you that I was your brother. It was a mistake to keep this secret."

Yukina smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "It's okay, big brother."

Hiei smiled until something hit him. He was still in this made up world. Everyone else realized that too.

What went wrong?

A/N: Okay, now there's one more chapter. I think I'll write it now so I can mark this story as done :3 I really hope you've enjoyed it. I'm sorry it's coming to an end.
