Summary: “What do you want?” Yukina asks, impartially, for she knows that the answer likely has nothing at all to do with her and no longer childishly fantasizes that anything ever does.
Hiei struggles with the simple question—anything like it has always seemed to leave him in a quandary. He has made no move to sit down; then again, Yukina has certainly not invited him to. His posture is rigid, poised to flee at any moment.
“Kurama told me that the koorime Rui died,” he explains at last, “and that you’ve gotten it into your head that you wish to return to the Glacial Village as some sort of ill-advised commemoration. Is that true?”
( My thoughts: )
