Hiei leads me to a more secluded part of town. He stops in front of a run down brown house with sealed windows and a glass sliding door. We step inside and it looks like what you may see in a normal house. They have a table, cushions, kitchen, fireplace, bedrooms, and a bathroom.

"Yukina!" Hiei calls. "I've brought someone to see you!"

What I expect his sister to look like is completely different from what I see. A young girl about his height with his same beautiful red eyes greets us from one of the rooms.

She wore a pink dress with a white ruffle at the bottom and a dark brown jacket with a white color lying gently on her shoulders. Her mint green hair braided and tied with a red ribbon. Her eyes widen at the sight of me, I think. "You- you're Kurama?" Her voice doesn't sound convinced.

"Yes, this is Kurama. The one I have been telling you about?" Hiei gestures for her to come closer. She takes his hand and they both face me.

Yukina bows politely. "I have heard many great things about you from my brother. I'm very honored to be in your presence, Mr. Kurama."

Her sense of mannerism surprises me. She's like the opposite of Hiei. Now I know why he's protective. The girl is completely vulnerable. "Ah, please. There's no need. It is I who is honored to meet you, lady Yukina." I take her hand and kiss it gently.

She smiles sweetly at me. "You found a good one brother."

Hiei laughs. "Really? I think so too."

I can feel a blush forming on my face. "Thanks so much Hiei."

"Would you like some tea?" His sister sets up the table and pours three cups of tea without much of my answer.

We gather around the table, thanking Yukina for the tea. I take a sip, melting as the hot water touched my tongue. "It's wonderful. Where did you learn to make tea this good?"

The siblings stare at eachother with a smile. "It's something ice maidens have to learn to do." Yukina explains. "Perhaps my brother has already told you he is a demon. I am too a demon, but not as strong as him. I tend to cool off the house, making it severely cold for my brother so I make him tea to warm him up."

I take another sip. "Demon or not, you're a wonderful girl."

In the middle of our break, Hiei walks out to collect firewood for the fireplace. He says it freezes overnight rather quickly.

I catch Yukina looking down at her cup longingly. "I hope my brother hasn't caused you much trouble." She finally says. "To be honest, he just got out of a bad relationship. He and Makuro just recently broke up and it's been hard on him. We moved here to get away from that guy. Even I haven't seen him yet, but from what I heard, he seems to be a wonderful person."

"Is that so?" I finish my tea and listens to the rest of the story.

"I don't know why Brother has always wanted me to be here, treating demons he 'befriends' but he says its better than the outside world. It's rare for him to make friends with a human." Her eyes meet mine and I am unable to cute the gaze off. "Please take care of my brother. Even if he looks tough on the outside, he has a delicate heart. His happiness means a lot to me."

I reach for her hand and look at her with seriousness. "I promise, I won't do anything bad to hurt him. I feel sorry for that Makuro guy for letting him go." I look around to make sure Hiei isn't anywhere around. "To tell you the truth, your brother saved me. He made me realized that this world is unfair and that we have to keep going. Even if we go back, we'll always end up in the future."

I can see the relief in Yukina's eyes. "I'm glad you understand him. Maybe that's why he's so attracted to you."

Hiei comes back with a pile of cut lumber. He dumps them in the fireplace and all of a sudden, it's lit. "How did you-"

"Long story. Now come on." We sit in front of the fire, Yukina laying her head on her brother's shoulder.

I watch the fire crackle and heat up my face. I slowly hold Hiei's hand and smile when his fingers laced around mine. Even if they aren't the richest people I know, something as simple as this makes me realize I've been blinded by Koenma and his eagerness to please everyone but me. I now know, it's best to leave that bastard out of my life for good, and be taken by Hiei's heart instead.
