lostmoonchild: Okay, ladies and gentlmen, welcome to "Memories of the Past" and I'm hoping to see a few familiar reviewers from "My Past, His Present, Our Future" (especially the ones who were upset when Evan died). Now, I don't own YYH or anything else unless I say otherwise so you no sue.

PROLOGUE

"Mommy?"

Danielle wearily opened her eyes and was immediately greeted by innocent red-violet eyes staring at her. "Hmm?" Danielle questioned stretching a little, careful not to wake the toddler that was sleeping on her chest.

"Who's this?" Aaron questioned pointing to a teenage boy.

Danielle stared at the picture, immediately recognizing the picture as the one that had been taken when she, August, and Evan were all young. Probably around fourteen or so seeing as it had been taken when the small team was trying to get used to each other. A hanyou, demon, and a ningen working together in a three person team… that had proven to be interesting since the youkai and hanyou didn't get tired that easily and often times got irritated because of the ningen wanting to stop and rest every few hours. "That's Evan." Danielle said the memories of Evan dying in her and August's arms going through her mind like a movie that had no stop button.

"Evan?"

"Yeah. He was a friend of you aunt August and me."

"Was?"

"Yeah."

"What happened?"

Danielle turned her head for a minute before saying, "He was killed trying to save Ningenkai."
"Like daddy?" Aaron questioned, his voice soft.

Tears threatened to fall down Danielle's face as she thought of her missing mate. Hiei was alive, she could feel his mind occasionally brushing against hers when she began pleading for him to come home, but nobody had found him and according to the Reikai his soul was nowhere to be found. To them, that didn't mean he was alive. That just meant that his soul was probably trapped or avoiding any ferry girl that went into the Makai.

"Daddy's not dead." Danielle whispered lovingly rubbing her fingers on the teargem Hiei had given her for her seventeenth birthday. "He's just missing. Mommy's going to find him, I promise."

Aaron crawled onto his mother's stomach and rested his head on her chest, next to his baby sister's head. "Mommy, how did you and aunt August meet Evan?" Aaron asked innocently.

"To tell that, I'll have to tell how I met your aunt August."

"Okay." Aaron said making himself even more comfortable.

Smiling softly, Danielle wrapped a blanket around them before taking a deep breath. "It was a the middle of the night when I got the feeling that something was wrong…" Danielle began before the memories consumed her.

lostmoonchild: Okay, there's the prologue. I'll probably update Tuesday afternoon depending on if I have to babysit kids at 6 in the frigging morning. Anyway, read and review, flames are accepted.
