Chapter 8: Can't Fight Fate
The next Saturday Hiei sat with Yukina in the living room as she welcomed the entire gang into the temple.
After some shouting and angry words, followed quickly by calm explanations as to Hiei’s presence, the group settled into their normal routine of catching up and talking. And for once, Yukina pulled Hiei, quite unwillingly, into the conversation.
“There’s nothing to catch up on,” Hiei said as Yukina turned to him for the umpteenth time.
“But we did not see you for so long, Hiei-san,” Yukina interjected, “There must be something.”
“I went to Makai, trained, fought in the Makai tournament, then started patrolling the Makai-Ningenkai border,” Hiei replied, “That’s all there is to it.”
“You summarized the past four years in four actions,” Kurama pointed out, “There must be more than that.”
“Did you make any friends, Brother?”
“Allies,” the annoyed fire demon replied after a moment’s hesitation.
Kurama gave a playful smirk; “I heard some rumors about Mukuro-”
Hiei’s glare immediately shut the kitsune up.
“Like what?” Yusuke asked curiously. Now things were getting interesting.
“Oh, nothing big,” Kurama replied off-handedly, “Rumors that she was no longer as strong as she was before.”
“Uh-huh, sure,” the affronted teen replied, “Fine don’t tell me.”
“Okay.”
Yusuke grumbled and the girls giggled at Kurama’s answer and went off onto another topic of conversation.
Hiei sighed in relief at having the spotlight removed from his personal life.
And when he believed all attention was off him, he snuck out of the room.
----
“Excuse me,” Yukina said to her company as she stood from her spot on the couch nearest the window sill.
Everyone nodded to her as she walked out after her antisocial brother, planning on trying her best to bring him back in.
“Hiei-san?” she quietly asked as she came up behind her brother.
“What is wrong, Brother?”
Hiei did not turn to her, nor did he seem to acknowledge her presence or her question for a minute or two.
“Nothing,” he finally answered, “Nothing is wrong; everything is...right.”
He seemed unsure of his words and Yukina realized that Hiei was probably uncomfortable to this situation. A situation where he no longer needed to constantly be on guard for his own life. A situation where he could open himself up to others and not fear they would turn against him.
She smiled softly as she wrapped her arms around her twin brother, “Hiei-san will get used to right. Hiei-san will get used to safe.”
And Hiei’s eyes widened in shock as another of his sister’s caring barbs pierced the icy wall around his heart.
----
Without Yukina to keep everyone in one large group, the five people began to partition off.
Keiko and Yusuke began to flirt, while Shizuru walked off and pulled a cigarette out of her purse. Kuwabara complained to everyone about Hiei’s bad attitude drawing his ‘wonderful Yukina-chan’ away from him, and Kurama found his gaze curiously latched on the twins who stood in plain sight in the garden.
He did not completely understand why Hiei returned. In fact, he did not understand it at all.
If the rumors were true, Hiei and Mukuro had been together for quite some time, and Kurama had expected such. Both had experienced much in their earlier years and could find acceptance and understanding in one another. Why would Hiei leave that?
Especially if, as he said, he had not thought his sister accepted him.
While Kurama knew Hiei had been suicidal and masochistic, and could be quite the sadistic demon, he knew emotions were something Hiei would never dabble in. Especially if they would cause him even more pain.
He watched Hiei stiffen and then relax as his sister wrapped her arms around his waist and he wondered.
Could Hiei have left the warmth of one woman’s bed to try to find it in another’s?
----
Shizuru took a puff from her cigarette and stared curiously at the siblings out in the garden.
Something was off about their relationship, something did not fit right. Her gaze swept over the group in the room and stopped on Keiko and Yusuke.
No.
Could it be?
She watched as Yukina and Hiei interacted, taking small glances at the ex-spirit detective and his fiancee all the while.
That had to be it, it was just too similar.
“You sense it too.”
It was more a statement than a question, but Shizuru nodded her reply as she turned to look at the red head next to her.
“Is it normal?” Shizuru asked curiously, “For them?”
“It’s not abnormal,” Kurama replied, his gaze remaining on the two outside the window, “Not common, but not abnormal.”
Shizuru sighed as she looked at Hiei and Yukina one last time before looking back to Kurama, “I guess people cannot help what fate has planned for them.”
“It must be so,” Kurama agreed as he turned to face the psychic.
Neither could ignore the shivers that ran down their spines as their gazes locked.
