3 years...

 

Hiei stared out the window in his bedroom. 3 years of never seeing Kurama, the youko that had captured his heart and soul. Ever since he left the Ningenkai, he had been training in Mukuro's palace. Keeping himself preoccupied.

 

A day never went by without Hiei obsessing over the fox. What would have happened if he had never left Kurama that night?

 

He sighed as he gazed up at the sky. He should be seeing stars but the fog was so thick that it blocked any view of the bright stars.

 

The fire demon wondered briefly if Kurama was gazing up at the sky too. Thinking of him. But it had been too long. The fox may have already found someone. His heart clenched at the thought. He deserved it. The fox was offering him love, love that he'd been longing for ever since he was casted away from the floating island of the Koorime.

 

He stood up from his seat on the window and walked over to the rarely used full length mirror that Mukuro insisted on placing in the room. His crimson eyes stared at his reflection in the mirror.

 

For the past three years his body had changed. His facial features grew sharper, more mature, but innocence still showed through. His hair had grown longer, reaching to his shoulders. And he was no longer the shrimp Kuwabara always called him. As he stared at himself he must say that he was as tall as the body of Minamino Shuuichi.

 

Back to Kurama again. He smiled faintly. And I've grown softer too. He still kept his face impassive, but he wasn't as rotten-tempered as before as the kitsune called him.

 

His eyes landed on a white scarf that was hanging on the mirror's leg. He took it and stared at the clear stitch marks. He remembered when this same scarf got torn on one of their missions and Kurama offered to fix it for him even if he had lots of other scarfs. But this one, he rubbed the soft material along his cheek, was the scarf he treasured the most. He would never let any of the servants wash it except him.

 

He met eyes with his reflection. Was it time to go back? Was Kurama still waiting in the Ningenkai for him?

 

With a sigh, he lay down on the large bed and closed his eyes. Hoping that he would dream about a certain kitsune and hopefully come to a decision if it was time to go back.
