The idea for this story occurred to me at work today :D. Children kept "forgetting" to put away their toys and I thought to myself hm,...what would happen if Hiei got amnesia? So this is the ending result. However, let me just say, that I don't want to hear any bitching about Hiei being OOC or w/e, because you can't be yourself when you can't remember yourself. In addition to this, if you have nothing nice to say in a review, don't say it all. Oh and I'm also having problems getting my paragraph structure to save so if a sentence seems like it belongs in a new paragraph and not just one single line down, it probably does. Without further adou :D...
Those words seemed to be ringing in everyone's heads. Those words altered the atmosphere of the entire room. Those words were the cause of the little pow-wow going on in Kurama's kitchen tonight. Around the table sat Kurama, Yusuke, Botan, Kuwabara, and surprisingly Koenma.
"Now,...lets try to be logical" Kurama started "I think it would be best if,.."
"LOGICAL!" shouted Koenma from the opposing side of the table. He began to bang his fist on the oak stained table, showing his displeasure. "What if he has forgotten something important. What if he forgets you can't just kill any human, or you can't just walk around telling people your a demon, or even something as simple as you can't walk around with your pants off. Anything that happens as a result of him will be coming back on me! He belongs in some kind of infirmary in demon world."
"That is nonsense, and it won't help the situation any." Kurama presented. "It will only startle him further."
"But pacifier breath has a point." Yusuke said, kicking his feet up onto the table. "If he has forgotten everything,...what if some ordinary human bumps into him and Hiei just reaches into his sheath and tears the poor guy apart."
"What if that poor guy is me!" Kuwabara said as he began to sweat slightly.
"Will you be quiet!" Botan said with a sigh. "Stop thinking about yourself and think about Hiei. A decision needs to be made right away. Where are we keeping him?"
"With me." Kurama said ever so simply, as if the problem could be solved just like that. "My mother is out of town for the week, and I'm sure he will be well again by the end of the week. There is no need to resort to rash matters and rip him away from the only environment he is aware of right now."
Koenma sucked on his pacifier rather loudly, perhaps too loudly. He exaulted a final harsh sigh "Fine, take him! However, if there is one problem with him I'm taking him back to spirit world"
Kuwabara looked into the other room watching Hiei's chest rise and fall slowly as he slept. "Those words,...were the scariest thing I've ever heard the shrimp say."
"Oh come on Kuwabara,...the scariest?" Yusuke teased.
"Yes!" Kuwabara defended with a harsh tone "You didn't think it was scary when he looked Kurama, his best friend for thousands of years, in the eyes and said Who the hell are you?"
"AHEM!" Koenma cleared his throat rather loudly. He once again slammed his fist down on Kurama's table. "You guys told me you would tell me what happened! How the hell did this happen? Why doesn't Hiei remember anything?"
"It was your stupid mission!" Kuwabara interjected "If you didn't send us on the wild goose chase, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
"It was,...my fault" Botan whispered gently, as sorrow filled her voice. "Well it went something like this,..." Botan started
"You sent us after Katsuki this morning. I told the boys that you had strict instructions to bring him back to spirit world alive, with the human child he had stolen and planned to experiment on, to stand trial (Sorry I couldn't think of a better villain activity hahaha). But I wanted to make absolutely sure that even had the child in the first place. So Kurama and Yusuke gathered on the east side of the house, ducking under the windows. Kuwabara kept guard of the back door to block any escapes when we moved in. Hiei and I sat in a tree to watch for the child, and signal when we were ready. I was just a few branches above Hiei, and well..." Botan paused for the first time in her story "And,...I must have overestimated the strength of the branch because it snapped only a few minutes after I sat on it. I began to fall and landed on Hiei's branch before Hiei could really react to the situation. Then of course that branch collapsed as well. When we fell to the ground we knew our cover was blown..."
"AND?" Koenma ushered
"And,..." Botan's eyes began to water.
"SPIT IT OUT WOMAN" Koenma pleaded
"And Hiei was so busy yelling at Botan that he didn't even notice her stupid oar thingy falling from the tree. It hit him right on his stupid little head" Kuwabara finished for her.
"Thats the stupidest story I've ever heard! That kind of thing wouldn't hurt Hiei!" Koenma said as he began to tap his finger on the table "Let alone give him amnesia!"
"It is all true Koenma" Kurama said, his voice was quiet and calm "It doesn't matter how strong the person is. If the object falls on the right spot of your head, you could be hercules himself and still wind up with amnesia."
Koenma furrowed an eyebrow "Well fair enough, you have a week to fix this situation for good." he said as he rose from the table and Botan began to follow behind him. "Oh no Botan! You caused this problem, and you're gonna help Kurama fix it!" Koenma ordered as he walked out the door
"But,..." Botan paused and whimpered slightly "Fine,...it's only fitting I suppose."
"Well,...you two have fun with that!" Yusuke managed to get out before taking off with the speed of light to avoid any responsibilities to Hiei as well.
"Uh,...yeah!" Kuwabara repeated as he began to get the same idea as Yusuke, and took off like a speeding bullet.
Kurama walked into the living room, giving Hiei another once over. "How could you forget me?" he whispered. "Me of all people..."
