Summary: Two years have past since that day in the park. What has happened to our forbidden couple in those years? Did they have a happily ever after, or was it something worse? Something dark?

Pairing: Hiei/Kag, slight Yus/Kag

She sat there, looking up at the sky as snow contuined to fall around her. It started to cover her, but her mystic powers flared up, keeping the cold stuff away for the moment. Until it started to pile up again and the process repeated, quite a few times during the hours that past. Long crimson tipped black hair wiped around her and she wore nothing but some tight black pants and a blue tank top, which had a black jacket over it. Yet, she didn't move, only blinking her blue-grey eyes at the sky, watching the stars. They were so hard to see during present times, nothing like what she saw in the Sengoku Jidai. Her heart clenched at the thought of the place she once thought of as home. Sure, she still visited, but not so much anymore. She had a life here, or she used to. She was so confused at the moment, and didn't even sense the presence that came up to her.

“Hey…” The voice said, breaking the woman out of her thoughts so that she could look up into brown eyes, which reminded her of her dog ear friend. Brown eyes, slicked back hair that looked like it had a green tint, and he wore a green jacket and black jeans. Yup, it was definitely Yusuke. “You ok?”

“Yea…” She said, turning to look back at the sky. The young man next to her sighed and looked at her worried, she'd been like this for two months. It worried them all, but they couldn't do anything about it. The only reason she kept going was because of hope and Hotaru.

“Kagome, you can't just stay out here all night. Hotaru won't go to bed until you tuck him in.” He reminded her, frowning slightly.

“If Hiei was here he would tell me I was babying him again.” Was her reply and Yusuke's frown deepened. Hiei had disappeared a few months ago, and it left Kagome in a wreck. He just up and disappeared, and they had some suspicion that Koenma had something to do with it. They questioned him three times, but he always said the same thing, `if Hiei didn't want to be found he wouldn't.' It worried Kagome to the bone, but she hid it well from their son, who was coming into his powers.

“Kags…come on, lets get you inside.” Yusuke helped her up and into the house. They all took over the responsibility to help her through this and by far, they were all supportive. Yusuke just seemed to be there more then the others. It comforted and disturbed Kagome. What had happened to Keiko? Wasn't she always by Yusuke's side? Did she agree with Yusuke spending time with another woman? Sure they were friends, but they hadn't talked since Hiei disappeared. The only two women she really talked to were Yukina and Mrs. Higurashi, but her family moved out and left her the shrine last year. It got lonely, but her son was there. It just hurt when he asked about his father, which he did almost every night.

He led her inside and she immediately walked upstairs, towards her brother's old room. She didn't say thank you to Yusuke, but he knew she'd say it later, when her son couldn't hear her. Kagome knocked on the door and it opened, she walked inside. Her son walked back to his bed and sat down, the covers all the way by his feet, in his tiny bed. His hair stuck up, just like Hiei's but he had Kagome's blue grey eyes. He was cute, and the girls always cooed and cuddled him.

“Hey Hotaru, ready for bed?” Kagome asked him as he laid down, and she brought the covers up to his chest, his arms popping out and resting on his stomach. She smiled sweetly at him and kissed his forehead.

“Yes mom.” Was the reply as a pair of eyes looked up at her, ones that could be doubles of her own. He looked up at her with his big eyes and asked the question that had been going on for months. Kagome braced herself with the answer. “Where's daddy?”

“He went away for a little while, but he'll be back soon.” Kagome told him and kissed him goodnight, before turning off the lights and walking out of the room.

When she went downstairs, she saw Yusuke in the kitchen, making tea. Probably to help calm her nerves. It really worked, thanks to Kurama's plants, which grew near the kitchen window. She'd pick the tea leaves, and boil them, making a nice tea. It was completely relaxing for her, and she'd forgotten how many times she had thanked Kurama for it. She smiled at him and picked up her cup, taking a sip as he sat across from her.

“I'll be leaving in a few minutes.” He told her, putting his own cup on the table. Kagome nodded to him and gave him a grateful glance.

“Thank you Yusuke.” She said and he nodded. He got up and put his cup in the sink. After a few words, he walked out the door. There was nothing he could completely do to help her get over this, he just hoped she had a strong heart. She would make it through, he knew it. Down in his own heart, he had hoped that Hiei was trying everything that he could to get back to her and if he wasn't…let's just say he'd get hell from everyone. Kagome was like their little sister, and they didn't want anyone to hurt her. Actually, the first time they found out that Hiei was going to ask her to be his mate, they had all freaked out. No one in their right mind would've thought of the cold forbidden child, and the up-beat, happy, Kagome would get together. It was a shock everyone eventually got around. If Hiei really did love her as much as Kagome did, Yusuke had no doubt in his mind that he wasn't trying everything that he could to get back to her. Wither it be hell and back, or a walk in the park. He was going to get to her, that's what his instinct told him, and his instinct was always right. He sighed, and quickly walked home, knowing that Keiko was waiting for a report on how Kagome was doing.

Kagome sighed as she checked the clock, which read eleven thirty seven. Pretty late for her, but she couldn't get to sleep. If she did, she'd only have nightmares, about him leaving her. Though she knew it couldn't be true, there was that always conscience doubt that she refused to believe. It echoed that he left her on purpose, but she ignored it. Hiei was her mate, and by putting her hand to the mark in the crook of her neck, she new that he loved her. If he didn't, the small blue flame wouldn't be there. It gave her hope, made her realize that he was still alive; fighting whatever was keeping him away from her.

She frowned and shook her head, before walking outside. Her second cup of tea in hand, and leaned against the Goshinboku. The snow was still falling from earlier, and her foot prints were easily seen in the white covering. Hotaru would want to throw snowballs tomorrow, her mind told her absently. She sighed and it was cold enough to see the air in front of her face. “Hiei…” She was having a hard time, especially when Koenma told them that he wasn't even in Ningenkai anymore. They couldn't trace him in the Makai, nor could they get in contact with the King. It drove her crazy, but she had to keep it together, for the sake of her son and herself. “Where are you?”

Before she could stop them, tears rolled down her face and she dropped to the ground, not caring on how the cup shattered against the ground next to her. She couldn't handle life without him, it was too hard and it was driving her slowly insane. Tears turned into beautiful gems that lay innocently on the ground, untouched by the cold winter. How cruel has this season been to her? Hiei disappeared right in the beginning of winter, and now it was close to the end. Not a word from her mate, though she knew he was alive. “Damnit Hiei! Why did you have to go?” She sat there crying for at least five minutes, before her head shot up. A person standing in front of her.

“I didn't have a choice…” It was Hiei; he was a little leaner, and more toned then before. His pants had many rips and his shirt had the arms missing, making it a tank.

Kagome nearly tackled him over when she saw him. He really was a sight for sore eyes, and it only made the tears come faster. She knew he was going to come back. He promised her that he would always be there for her, and here he was. Sure, he was a little late, but it didn't matter. What mattered was that he was back. He was home and safe, and alive. The most important part was that he came back to her, just like he did when she came back from the well the last time.

“Oh kami, oh kami…your back!” She cried as he wrapped his arms around her, letting her cry as much as she wanted before they locked eyes, hers were slightly red from the crying and they were puffy, but Hiei didn't care. He was glad she didn't move on, that she stayed true to him. Though he smelt the others scent, Yusuke's mostly, he knew she would never betray him in that way. He let a rare smile onto his face, and she answered back with an even bigger one. She hugged him close. “I waited...just like you did for me…I waited…”

“I know.” He whispered into her ear and they stayed like that, the numbness of winter not bothering them in the slightest.

Hotaru climbed back into bed happily, knowing that his dad was finally back. He'd heard his mom go outside and smelt her tears, so he looked out the window. When he saw his dad back, and his mom's reaction, he couldn't help but smile. Maybe mom would finally be happy again, and their life would finally come back together. Now that his dad was back, he had no doubt that that would happen.

DA: So, how did you like the squeal chapter?
Kag: Oh, it was so sad in the beginning!
Hiei: I thought—

DA: If you have anything bad to say, Tree sprit, then shut your mouth.

Hiei: It was ok.

DA: YES! Finally some sort of approval from the sarcastic, sadistic yokai!
