(A/N Ok, my lovlies. I was driving my daughter to get her to sleep last night [she has autism and fights sleep like it's going to hurt her or something] and this song was playing on my garth brooks cd. Now I got the great idea after the first line that, hey, this would be a great song fic for Kurama's feelings on Rain. She is fire and ice after all. So, this is a one shot little bonus for all of you who enjoy my story, and those who are hopeless romantics. Hope you enjoy it. This will contain no spoilers for the next few chapters that finish off the Halloween weekend.)

Kurama sat alone in his room at 12 Grimmauld Place. His mind went back over the weekend he had spent at Hogwarts. Already he missed her. It still amazed him that she was able to get through to him. He had known being Shuuichi all these years had changed his personality and outlook on life, but he hadn't realized how much till that weekend.

Before his time as a Ningen, she would never had been able to get through to him when he was Yoko. Before he knew what love was, he would have sliced through her to get to the ningen she protected at the dance. He knew that even if he was to leave this ningen body tomorrow that the lessons he had learned, ones of the heart, would never leave him. The love his mother gave him, taught him to show had just been magnified and refined in the love Rain gave him, the love he gave in return.

She had seen him at his worst, she knew his past and she was able to look past it and see the man inside that cried for acceptance, as he fought to keep his identity in a new form.

Kurama sighed and heard the faint noise of an opening song on the wind, his ears perked up and he strained to hear it.

~She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice.
A little crazy but it's nice.
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone.
'Cause she'll rage just like a river
Then she'll beg you to forgive her.
Oh, she's every woman that I've eveown.own.~


Fire and Ice, yes, she was that. Literally. The heat she produced within me came deep from her soul, passed to me with her love. I smiled at the next lines, yes she does rage. She is a demon after all. But I knew she did not like losing control. Her years in the ningen world had taught her to feel remorse, and I knew she feels more deeply about things then I, for she had spent a great amount of time here, far more then myself or Hiei.


~She's so New York and then L.A.
And every town along the way.
And she's every place that I've never been.
She's making love on rainy nights.
She's a stroll through christmas lights.
And she's every thing I wanna do again.~


I sigh and closed my eyes, the words of the music carrying me away. I remember the first time I had seen her. She had been walking in avoravorite park. I had been having ice cream with Hiei that day, sweet snow as Hiei calls it. We had been talking about Hiei's search for her. She had been walking slowly, her face upturned, seemingly enjoying the sunshine. She had later said she had felt our presence's in the park and was trying to locate us without having to open her Jagan.

I had looked up and seen her beauty first. I had not even put it together that she looked like the perfect mix of Hiei and Yukina, did not see the arcticfire tear gem on the chain around her neck. No, all I had seen was her beautiful form, a face pointed to the sky. Her poise, her grace.

Hiei had known from the first who she was. I had barely been able to turn from the sight she presented, the only thing encouraging me to tear my eyes from her had been the strangled sound Hiei had made. I had looked over to see Hiei staring at her, white as a sheet. I had looked back over then to her, to find her beautiful reddish eyes opened and staring right at us. Her eyes had widened as she looked first at me and then at her brother.

~It needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense.
For When it comes down to temptation
she's on both sides of the fence.~


We had watched her turn from us, running in the opposite direction. We had stood and given chase, watching her take a less traveled on path. By then, I had figured out who she was and knew that our quest for Hiei and Yukina's sister had come to an end, if we could catch her. As soon as ningen's were out of sight, she had taken to the tree's in such a fashion that I almost thought Hiei had gotten far head of me till Hiei jumped in the same fashion.

Hiei had caught up to her in a short amount of time. She hadn't been trying to escape us totally. It had amazed us that she actually had been looking for Hiei and Yukina. I knew her strength when she opened her Jagan. Hiei had told me about the procedure the hhe had gone to receive it. It took tremendous will, strength and power to under go that ordeal.

The first meeting of all three siblings had been stilted. Rain hadn't known what to say to hibliiblings, the talk uncomfortable. Hiei had come to my house later that night, had talked to me about how he wondered if it was a mistake that they had found Rain. Yukina had been upset that they hadn't struck a lasting bond instantly. Hiei had sat for a long time, moodily polishing his katana before standing, putting it away. "Yukina is sad, I'm going to her" he had said before flitting off inte nie night.


~No it needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense.
For When it comes down to temptation
she's on both sides of the fence~


It had come as a great surprise to me to hear the familiar sound of someone coming to my window and I had looked up from my homework, expecting to see Hiei, only to see Rain instead. She had looked uncertain of her welcome, but I welcomed her right in. She had explained she had been walking, thinking, and had seen Hiei leave my house through the window. She had said she felt an urge to talk to someone, and had hoped she could talk to me, as she didn't know many people here in Japan, having not spent time here since the early 1900's.

I had welcomed her in, my heart beating so loud that I was sure she could hear it. I was once again struck by her beauty and poise. She seemed more human in her actions then Hiei, but his mannerism's were still there under the surface. She was alsntlentle and sensative, like Yukina. The misery in her eyes matched her siblings. She hadn't known what to say to them, she had told me. She wanted to get to know them.

She and I had stayed up for hours, talking. She had told me of her search for her siblings, about her friends from long ago, the Kenshingumi. I had told her about b Yok Yoko, how I had met Hiei and then Yukina's rescue. We talked till dawn, had been sitting in comfortable silence when Hiei had come through the window with Yukina. The three siblings had sat with me, in my room, most of the day. It seems my presence loosened her up and they were able to connect and form the lasting bond. That was also when my lasting bond with her formed. The day I had started to fall in love with her.


~She's anything but typical
she's so unpredictable
Oh but evenher her worst It ain't that bad
She's as real, as real can be
And she's every fantasy
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had
and she's every lover that I've never had~


The words faded off, the instrumentals of the song shortly after. I sat at the window, thinking of the song and her for a long time afterwards. We had come a long way since meeting, she and I. I had seen her strengths and weakness's. I had watched her battle, had seen her save Yukina at the risk of her own life.

She had taught all of us something. She taught Kuwabara to be more respectful to Hiei, if he had wanted to gain Hiei's acceptance in his love of Yukina.

She had taught Yusuke how to respect a woman. She would slap him on the back of the head, much of the way she does to Yahiko and Sanosuke, when she heard him talking bad about Keyko. I knew Keyko had started to see a change in Yusuke. She, herself had confided in me that Yusuke now showed her he cared in a more tender manner.

She had taught Yukina that it was ok to stand up for herself, but to still remain a woman of bearing. Yukina and Rain were rare siblings, never fighting, enjoying each others company.

Hiei had watched his siblings get closer, had learned that some of their strengths came from loving others. He had mellowed out some, had even been known to hug his sisters in public once in awhile.

However, for me, she taught me the best thing ever. She taught me the meaning of true love. True, deep, pure, unconditional love.

(A/N There you go, my first song fan fiction. After the first bit, I decided to make it a history of how they found Rain and how she had joined and fit into their little group. How did I do on this little one shot song fic?)
