"Kurama-san!"  Yukina smiled as Kurama stepped into view.  
"Konnichiwa!"

"Konnichiwa, Yukina-san," he replied, returning her smile.  "I-"

"YUKINA-CHAN!!!" Hiei-chan ran forward and hurled himself into his 
sister's arms.

"Oh!"  Yukina automatically clasped him to her chest.  She looked down 
at him in surprise.  "H-Hiei-san?"

Hiei-chan smiled up at her, his eyes sparkling.  

"Kurama-san?" she asked, her tone questioning.  Her ruby eyes, so like 
Hiei's, were cloudy with confusion.

Kurama sighed.  It was now or never.  "Why don't we go inside, 
Yukina-san?"

Kurama stretched.  <Oooh, that feels good.> he thought as his tense 
muscles began to loosen up.

Telling Yukina everything had been a trying experience.  He felt about 
as lively as a limp rag.  <I'm glad that's over.  I just hope Hiei 
doesn't kill me when he gets back to normal.>

<Don't you mean IF he gets back to normal?> his conscience asked him 
snidely.

<Oh shut up!> he snarled back.  Why was his subconscious harassing him?

<Because you're so fun to tease!> A snicker could be heard, echoing 
through the corridors of his mind.

<Inari, I'm really losing it.>  Shaking his head, he shoved his hands 
into his pockets and stared up at the night sky.

Hiei-chan stared out the window, his eyes wide.  Kurama was standing 
outside, gazing up at the stars.  The moon's light bathed his face in a 
silvery glow.  <Saa, Kurama-chan is really beautiful...> he thought in 
appreciation.  

With a last lingering look at the still figure, Hiei-chan crept back 
into his futon.  <When I get bigger, I'm gonna marry him...> was his 
last thought as he drifted off to sleep.
