The Last Falling Leaf Chapter Two:
* * *
"Onnisan? Why aren't you asleep?" Yukina peered in Hiei's room. Hiei sat in his bed curled up laying down with his quilt over his cold body. This was the first time in his life that he has ever had his body become cold. No, it was not because of the room's temperature. Maybe it was because of his horrible expierience with killing one of his friends.
       
        After Hiei killed Muruko, he ran back to the Nigenkai to find his beloved sister. If anybody from anywhere could calm his heart down, it would be Yukina. He passed out whenever he burst into Yukina's apartment. Afterwards, he didn't tell her about what he did to Muruko.
        Yukina was married to the idot for a few years but he's got the night shift job and never comes home until 3am. Hiei really didn't have the temper to strangle the idiot like he did whenever they were a little younger. To his surprise, he matured a bit. It makes Hiei wonder if he has been taking lessons from Kurama.
       
        "I can't sleep Yukina...." his fist gripped on the bed sheets. Yukina sat down on her brothers bed. She touched her icy hand onto the youkai's firy face with the greif look in her eye.
        "Is something bothering you?" she smiled.

        "What time is it?" Hiei chenged the subject.

        Yukina's smile dropped to a frown.
"Two fourty-five A.M." Yukina answered yawning.
       
Hiei stood up.
"What in the hell are you doing up at two fourty-five in the morning Yukina?!" Hiei demanded.
       
        "I never go to sleep early." Yukina smiled.
"I always wait for Kazuma to come home. Plus, it's the same time I always get tired."

        Hiei blinked and looked down. "Are you...happy with Kuwabara?" he asked.

        "Hai. Why do you ask?" Yukina asked.
       
        Before Hiei could answer the two koorime siblings heard the front door close and a large yawn. Yukina jumped up in joy.
        "Kazuma-san!" Yukina leaped out of the room. Hiei sat there and kept his head where it was. He didn't even bother getting up to see the idot. He just listened to their happiness towards each other.
        "Yukina!" Hiei heard the idiot kiss his koorime wife.
        "You're home so early!" Yukina softly shouted happily.
        "Our boss let us off earlier tonight." Kuwabara answered as he came inside the room Hiei was in. Hiei finally looked up and stared at the idiot. Kuwabara begin to tremble a little. "Hiei?! What are YOU doing here?!"
Hiei didn't look up for he did not want the wasting time to deal with his nemesis.

“Onissan came back from Makai but he refuses to tell me why.” Yukina whispered.

Kuwabara smirked. “Some brother ,Yukina.”

Hiei heard Kwabara's insult towards him but he ignored it. He just rolled over on the bed and closed his eyes.

* * * * * * * * * * *

                Hiei woke up the next day at his original time, 6:45. Some how, he never intended to get much sleep. He wanted to talk to Kurama. He dashed on over to his apartment which the yoko fox was now living since last year. The apartment was a cold color of white mixed with gray. It gave Hiei the chills somehow. He finally made it to the front door and peeked through the window. Kurama was in bed shirtless. Hiei always wondered why he had his bed in the front room like a hotel room. If the girls at school peered through his window while he was sleeping they would shreek themselves to the Rei Kai.
               
                Without knocking on the door, Hiei quietly crept in the room knowing his youkai friend would awaken at the feeling of Hiei's ki. Kurama rose quickly with a gasp he always makes whenever he feels someone's ki.

                "Hiei?" Kurama yawned.

                "Long time no see." Hiei slid down the yellow wall and sat down on the green carpeted floor with the wall supporting his back leaning.
       
                "What are you doing here?" Kurama turned on his lamp and pulled his tank top over his chest. "Did Muruko let you out of Makai."

                "....No...." Hiei closed his eyes remembering Muruko's death. How shen died. And who killed her.

                "Then why are you in the Nigenkai?" Kurama walked over to his youkai friend.
Silence hit among the Makai members until Hiei finally had the nerve to confess.
       
                "Muruko's dead."
       
                "Dead?! When did this happen ?! HOW did this happen?!"

                "It's all my fault. I've killed her."

                "You what?! Why!?"
       
                "I didn't mean to. I don't know what happened. We were battling and I....went...too....far." Hiei ducked his head down into his arms.

                "Hiei.....did she say something to you that made you mad."
       
                "Hn." Hiei dissapeared. Kurama couldn't sleep that night. He stayed up worried about his fire demon friend.

Well, whatta think? Boring? I know. This is mainly the most talkative and boring chapter in my fic but in the next chapter will be some very good stuff you people won't expect. I kinda screwed up on 'Torn' and I'm having to rewrite it. ^.^
Bai Bai!
