Kurama awoke when the sun poured through his window. He slowly sat up and stretched. Looking at the clock he noticed it read 5:16am. He yawned and got out of bed. As he walked through his bedroom doorway he thought to himself, 'I wonder if Hiei came back?.. I doubt it knowing him, but I'll check anyway.' Kurama reached Hiei's door and knocked on it. After several minutes of no reply, Kurama opened the door to reveal that the room was indeed empty. He sighed, 'Just as I thought. I'll eat breakfast then go find him.'

Hiei was sitting in the tree. The sun had woken him up some time ago, but he stayed in the tree and thought about the night before. 'Why was she here? Her answer seemed intentionally vague. A full blooded demoness here in Ningenkai is not an everyday occurrence. And I can't seem to figure out what she is. It's obvious she has the blood of a neko, but while I was fighting with her, I sensed something else. It's familiar somehow. It's not that I think I've met her before, but the type of energy she has.. I recognize it, but why.? It doesn't matter now, I'll have time to figure it out eventually. That's something else I wonder about. Why did she agree to train with me.. actually.. I don't know what possessed my mouth to even suggest it. I never ask anything, from anyone. Especially a demoness I don't know.'

"Hiei, did you sleep up there last night?" a voice called from below.

Hiei fell out of the tree, but managed to land on his feet. 'When did he get here? I didn't sense him coming. Damn that female. She's distracting me, and making me lose focus. And she's not even here!.'

"Earth to Hiei, are you listening to me?"

Hiei thought to himself, 'No one has to know about my new training sessions.'

"Hn."

"I asked you a question."

"What!?"

Kurama breathed out, "Never mind. I ran into Botan on the way over here."

"So, what's your point?"

"Patience Hiei."

Hiei simply glared at Kurama, but said nothing.

"As I was saying. Botan said she wants everyone to go to her house this afternoon. And that includes you."

"What for?" Hiei said with a less than amused look.

"To talk, relax, and have fun. I believe humans call it,. hanging out."

"I have no intention of being involved in any human customs."

Hiei started to walk away. Until Kurama said, "Yukina will be there."

"I knew that. She does live with Botan."

"Yes, but Botan said everyone was invited. That includes Kuwabara."

Hiei scowled at Kurama, "Hn'd," and left.

Kurama smiled, knowing his friend was going to go. Even though he didn't actually say it.

*Sareiu's den in Makai*

Sareiu was sitting on the couch cleaning and sharpening her sword.

'What have I gotten myself into?'

'A mess.'

'Silence! I didn't ask you.'

'You don't have to ask for my opinion. I'm your conscience, which gives me the right to say what I want.'

'I don't care. Now go away.'

'What..? Are you afraid of what I might tell you.?'

'Why would I be? You know what I know. Unfortunately.. you are the inner me.'

'If your not afraid.. let me say what I wanted to say.'

'Fine.'

'As I said, you've gotten yourself into a mess.'

'And how is that?'

'Because, you agreed to train someone you're interested in.'

'I am not, in anyway interested in that cocky demon!!'

'Riight.. I thought we made it clear already. You can't hide anything from me!. Besides, if your not interested in him, then why did you agree to train him?..'

'Um.'

'Um what? . I'm waiitingg.'

'Because he's fast, and might be able to give me a challenge. Which doesn't happen often.'

'Can you hear what your thinking?. Do you actually believe that, that is the only reason?'

'Yes. Now go away!'

'Touchy touchy.' And with that the inner voice stayed quiet.

"Damn conscience. Thinks it knows everything."

'I am not interested in him. Not possible. I don't like anyone. I never will.'

*Back with the others*

It was about two in the afternoon. Everyone was at Botan's house, minus Hiei. They were all in the living room, talking and laughing. All except for Yukina, who was sitting in a chair that was closest to the door. Kurama noticed her and walked over to her.

"Don't worry, he will be here."

"But what if he's still mad at me for finding out?" Yukina said, with a saddened expression.

Kurama sighed, "Hiei wasn't mad at you for that. He was mad at Yusuke."

"But why didn't he want me to know? Does he not want me for a sister? I don't understand."

"Don't worry Yukina. Hiei does want you as a sister, and don't feel bad for not understanding. I don't think anyone understands him."

"But I'm his sister, his twin."

"Just give him time. Now try to have fun. He will be here."

Yukina sighed then nodded, and Kurama went back to talking to Botan.

* With Hiei*

Hiei was jumping from rooftop to rooftop, heading towards Botan's house.

'I need to stop letting that damn fox talk me into things. If that oaf wasn't always hitting on my sister I wouldn't be going. But no matter how many times I threaten him, he just keeps doing it. He probably knows Yukina asked me not to kill him.'

A few minutes later,.

Hiei landed in front of Yukina and Botan's house.

Hiei was walking to and through the door while thinking.. 'If that idiot is anywhere near my sister, I swear I will..'

Hiei's thoughts were cut short because as soon as he entered the house, Yukina jumped up and ran to him. Embracing him when she was close enough. Hiei just stood there, not sure how to react. His sister had been doing this a lot since she found out, but he still wasn't used to it.

Yusuke, being the smart one he is..(right) just couldn't resist further embarrassing the already turning red fire apparation. "oooh, how cute."

While holding back a smirk Kurama said, "Yusuke, you shouldn't embarrass Hiei, it's likely to get you killed."

Yukina heard them and released Hiei, then took a step back. "Sorry Hiei-san, I didn't mean to embarrass you." Then she looked to the floor.

Hiei lifted her chin so they were eye level,( which isn't much, considering their the same height), then said, "You needn't worry.”

Yukina smiled and walked back to her chair.

Hiei then glared at Yusuke, "You on the other hand.."

Yusuke clenched his hands into fists, preparing for Hiei to make good on that threat. “Whenever you're ready three eyes.”

Botan jumped in the middle then said, "Come on boys, we're here to have fun, not to fight with each other."

Then Hiei said, "Fighting is fun." He said this while shooting looks that promised death towards Yusuke.

Then Yukina pleaded, "Please don't fight."

"Yes, lets just all get along. At least for a little while anyway." Botan added.

Hiei gave one final glare at Yusuke before saying, "Fine." Then proceeded to sit in the chair closest to Yukina.

It had been almost five hours since Hiei got there. After the first dispute between Hiei and Yusuke, there wasn't any other fights. Unless you count the occasional picking on Hiei for blushing, and of course there was the Keiko telling storing about when Yusuke was younger. Then there was the picking on Yusuke for blushing. But those were all in fun. Of course Hiei wasn't really involved in any of the activities, but he was listening and every now and then he would slip and let a slight grin appear. But would quickly suppress it before anyone would see.

By now the sun was beginning to set. Hiei was looking out the window. 'It's almost time for me to meet that aggravating female. What was her name again.. I think it was.. Sareiu. Now how am I supposed to leave without anyone asking anything.?'

Hiei left the window and walked over to Yukina.

Yukina saw the look in Hiei's eyes and immediately knew what it meant.

Yukina softly said, "Your leaving aren't you?"

Hiei looked into those sad eyes, blinked, and looked away. Then said, "Yes, but I will come see you sometime soon."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

Yukina smiled and hugged Hiei again, except this time Hiei hugged her back, and started for the door. But before he could leave, Kurama spoke, "Hiei, where are you going?"

Hiei didn't look back. And just before closing the door behind him, he said, "Out." Then he was gone.
