Just A Memory - When Kurama becomes too attached to a human girl, he must say goodbye to her. But what if that means having her memory of him completely erased?
A/N: So I use Kurama and Shuichi in this one. Just know that I use "Kurama" when out of school situations occur and "Shuichi" in school and with said girl. Hope It's not that confusing.
Disclaimer:I do NOT own Yu Yu Hakusho or it's character, Kurama. But I do own my OC's (Esina, Lunia, Kitsuki)
Enjoy!
It was a cool fall day. Cooler that it normally has been in late October, that meant that winter was soon coming. Most of the trees around lost their leaves and now they were lying motionless on the cold ground. The red headed fox slowly worked his way of the school yard after a long day of work and tests. He was in a daze. Barely focused on making sure he didn't walk into anyone. Deep in thought, thinking. But what about? Even someone as smart as him couldn't figure it out.
Yet he was abruptly woken from his daydreaming by a familiar voice that rang though his ears like a sweet bell, a special person called his name, or at least he thought she was special.
"Hey Shuichi, wait up!" called a lively looking girl with long black hair and sparkling violet eyes.
It was her, the smartest female in his class; no wonder they got along so well. The girl who was always so caring to others, the one who even found a likeness to the redhead. I swear, it was a perfect little match these two.
She caught up to him. "Hello, Esina shall we go to the coffee shop and study for our midterms?". he said.
"That would be lovely".
The two walked off in step and made their way to a quant shop on the middle of town. They stepped inside and the sweet aroma of baked goods and coffee beans filled the air. The two studied their notes carefully and occasionally quizzed each other. He thoroughly enjoyed having a partner to work with, he felt that he got extra points because she was a girl.
They went back and forth on their studies until dusk began to set in. They got a celebratory coffee and left the shop. They were laughing and smiling to one another and found a quite park to sit and drink their coffee.
"I always find it fun to hang out with you and study, Shuichi." she had the prettiest gleam in her eye as the young moon shined down on her.
"So do I, It's nice to be with someone who has your same interests."
"It is, we should do other things together too, I think me make a great pair."
Since the beginning of the school year a few months ago, he always seemed interested in this one particular girl. Everything about her just seemed to fit him perfectly. They were in a few classes together and they always seemed to be in the same groups for projects. Kurama believed that she too felt the same way, that they really were a great pair.
The evening was clear and crisp. They made small talk and just enjoyed each others company. Yet when Kurama sensed the eerie energy of the familiar black shadow, he became quiet. Hiei appeared aside of them perched on a tree watching the two. The two demons made eye contact for a brief second and Kurama's attention returned to Esinas.
"It's really getting late." she exclaimed. "I should be getting back to finish up on some math homework." Somehow Kurama seemed relived, probably because Hiei's presence annoyed him slightly and he wanted to escape it.
"I'll walk you home." he suggested. The girl nodded yes and they were on their way. Naturally, a nosy Hiei followed them.
They arrived at a small two-story house. "Thank you for walking me home." she thanked him and gave him a quick, but lovable hug, he returned the gesture. They said their goodbyes and Kurama made his way to his house. It wasn't long till Hiei came out of hiding to walk next to him.
"Hn, what was all that about?" he scowled at him.
"You just don't understand women or friendships, Hiei."
"Why should I? both are a waste of my time."
"Of course." the fox was being very passive and not giving much effort into his answers. He seemed lost in a daze once again. Hiei noticed this and pressed him for more answers.
"Why are you acting strange, fox?" Hiei was starting to get angry at his plain answers.
"Strange? I'm not, I'm happy." a smile crept from his lips, he was happy because he was thinking about her.
"This is annoying." with his last words. Hiei vanished into the night. Kurama was very glad about this. Could he not be happy with another person, a girl? Apparently not in Hiei's view. But it didn't matter to him, he was happy to have Esina as his best girl friend. He walked himself home and did his homework before going to bed.
The next day was uneventful at school. Once again he beat his peers and go the highest score on a test. Second place followed by Esina of course. The day was going by quickly and then it came to lunch time. Esina asked Shuichi if he would like to join her for lunch outside since it was a warmer day than before. He happily accepted her offer and the two went to a small table outside the building.
A few blocks away Yusuke and Kuwabara decided to skip their classes and find something to do around town, preferably the arcade. Their constant bickering ceased when the eventually passed Kurama's school. They both noticed their youkai friend sitting with an attractive girl. They decided to stop and stare.
"Ooh, I wonder who that nice looking girl could be" said Kuwabara.
"Beats me, I didn't think he'd have time for girls since he's always with us, or spending endless hours on school work" Yusuke chucked.
"He never told us about her, must be keeping it a secret then". Kuwabara exclaimed. Both boys did know Kurama's "trouble" with the ladies, they always loved him and admired him and he practically had a fan club, so for his sake, he didn't want to get involved with anyone, but this was a little odd, seeing him with, maybe one of his club members or maybe a sane one, either way it was a bit off.
"Well, we should just be happy for him, it looks like he found someone good". said Kuwabara
"Are we already assuming its his girlfriend or something?" Yusuke didn't feel like jumping to conclusions.
"Maybe, maybe not, now lets get out of here, this is weird just spying on them." And with that the two continued their journey to the arcade. Esina and Shuichi finished their meal and walked back into the building. Before he walked through the door he looked back to the yard. He knew that Yusuke and Kuwabara were watching him at one point. When he didn't notice their energy around he walked into the building.
"Something bothering you, Shuichi?" Esina questioned.
"Oh, no nothing". he responded.
The rest of the day continued like all afternoons did; forcing to concentrate on the work before him but patiently waiting to leave the school ground for the day.
Finally the day ended and Esina was waiting for Shuichi after class. Two of her friends came up to her while she waited.
"So, I've noticed you've been spending a lot of time with Shuichi." said her friend, Lunia.
"Yeah you must like him a lot!". exclaimed her other friend, Kitsuki.
"Well, maybe I do like him, but I'm not ready to just come out and say it". Esina defended. Shuichi finally showed up. Her two friends started to giggle. Esina gave them a evil look.
"Hello Shuichi". the two said.
"Hello". he politely returned. "Shall we study for our test tomorrow, Esina?"
"Yes, let's go". She was relieved to escape her two embarrassing friends.
Shuichi and Esina made their way to a quiet library to start studying.
Meanwhile in Spirit World…
"Man, why did he have to drag us here!" Yelled Yusuke.
"Koenma said he needed you and Kuwabara here immediately on an important new case." Botan said.
Koenma walked into the room, he had a stern look on his face and seemed mildly irate.
"I have brought you two here for a special assignment. A powerful shape-shifting demon has made it's way into the Human World."
"A shape-shifter?" questioned Kuwabara.
"Well, literally no, but this demon has the ability to alter his powers to use a specific element, such as fire, rock, ice, water, wind, and even lightning. More so a multi-powered demon then."
"Interesting" Yusuke said.
"Now don't worry I will also be requesting the help of Hiei and Kurama for the location and defeat of this demon.
"Good, now Kurama can kick demon ass with us rather then be with that girl." Yusuke said with a snicker.
"Yeah really, I've noticed he's been spending a lot of time with her." added Kuwabara.
"What girl is this?" Koenma inquired.
"Dunno, some girl that we've seen Kurama with." Yusuke stated
"Oooh, maybe it's his girlfriend" Kuwabara started to chuckle.
Koenma knew in his mind that this was not a good situation for Kurama to be in. A demon and a human just shouts "bad happenings" around it. Sounds a lot like the Urimeshi team but he knew that when humans, especially females interact with the demon kind, bad things will follow. Koenma started to space out a bit.
"Is something to matter Koenma sir?" Botan asked.
"Nothing" He replied. "You boys are free to go now, I'll send a repot on this demon once we get more information." he instructed Yusuke and Kuwabara to leave.
"That issue with Kurama and the girl bothers you, doesn't it, Koenma?" Botan again questioned. "But Keiko and Shizuru are human and they know about our demon boys, and they're fine".
"That's the thing, they know about them. This friend of Kurama's most likely does not know what he truly is".
"Well, I suppose that could mean trouble".
"…Yes."
A/N: Tada! I'm back with a new story! and one that I thought of when I was having a similar dream. It took me a few days to write and I feel like it's one of my longer ones. on Microsof Word it felt too long to be a OneShot so I TwoShoted it. Hope you liked and hopefully I'll be back for more! :)
