Forgotten Memories

(HieiXOC... of course) This is not the usual girl gets kidnapped and everyone saves her deal... Izanami decides to have all her memories erased, forgetting everyone that she has ever known. After several hard years of this sudden shock of amnesia, her memories began to draw back in an odd way. How will Hiei handle getting Izzy back in such a confusing time?

I will only tell you once out of this whole story, not every chapter like everyone else: ....Must I tell you that I own nothing except music videos and my own creations? Kapish? (Kah-peesh) .... I don't hear a Kapish! (Papa always did that...)

Chapter 1

Farewell, My Family

The wind blew as two figures stood infront of a lake. The trees surrounded the area and the moon was full. The scenery was lush in greenary, showing signs of summer coming close. Both the figures were close to one another, barely noticing there were two. One spoke, the voice was that of Hiei, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes... It's unknown what would happen, but I'm most curtain. Besides, there's no other choice." The voice was that of a girl he was with. "But promise, promise that you would be there Hiei?"

"...Yes. But how? You won't know it is I." The moon gleamed onto the lake, reflecting onto the fire demon and girl. Her hair, the length to her mid back, seemed black from the darkness, and she was wearing one of her kimonos that was given to her. She didn't speak for several seconds after he asked, then replied with the best she could. "... I suppose time would tell..."

The brush began to shake, but non of them moved, knowing who it was. "Are you guys finished? Genkai sent me down here to retrieve you two."

"Kitsune? Must you rush us?" Hiei replied sternly. Kurama stood near the brush that he approached from. "I'm sorry Hiei. Izzy, Genkai awaits you."

"Yes Kurama. Thank you." She grabbed hold of Hiei's hand and both followed the foxboy to the temple not far. They walked in silence, Izanami collecting all the scenery as she can with her eyes, mostly of Hiei. Hiei, continued to look at her, the surroundings, then her again, realizing this may be the last he would see her as she is now.

Hiei's POV

'She looks... so... Hn... She won't be the same Izanami that I know. I wish I could stop her from her decision but, I suppose it is for the best. Will I be able to bring her back after this?' I looked at her, her worried face, her uneasy eyes, her slight smile that was a cover up to keep sadness from showing. I looked down at her hand that was clutched into mine. Secure in my grasp for probably the last time. 'She should have never chose to do this. I could see the worry in her.' She looked at me, smiled a calm smile, then looked down to the ground. Her eyes changed with her expressions, but not much. The worry stayed with her, through her hazel eyes. 'Please reconsider your decision Izanami through this walk. I wish you would.' I looked up to the trees. Noticing the moon through the branches. That phase... the full... Coincidence... or did she plan it this way?

No POV

"Izzy? Is there anything in particular that you would wish for afterwards?" Kurama looked back slightly and asked her as they got to the lighting of the old woman's temple. Hiei looked to her, curious what her answer would be.

"Um... Isn't it true that I would not come to until couple hours or days?" She answered with her own question.

"That may be the side affects that take place. Most likely just a day. Why?" Kurama asked with another question.

"Well, I know it would-"

"Hey Izzy! Hiei! What took you two so long?" the carrot head interrupted her in mid-talk. He looked at them in a suspicious manner, but Hiei brushed it off.

"Hn. Is it any of your concern baka?"

"Hey Shorty! I swear one of these days, you would wish you weren't even born!" Kuwabara spatted back.

"Kazuma? Are they here?" Yukina's voice came from the room that Kuwabara came from. Kuwabara looked back at her, acting completely innocent.

"Yukina-sama! Uh... yeah, both the pip-squeaks are here." Yukina smiled at the oaf and headed back to the others with Kuwabara following her like a puppy. Kurama went ahead inside as well, meeting everyone else. Izzy looked at Hiei, noticing that he was somewhat tensed up seeing Yukina with the carrot top. His hand gripped hers a little, but not too hard. Yusuke poked his head out the door and replied, "Yo! Ye comin' inside? We need to get this done."

"Hn."

"Uh... Gomen Yusuke. We're coming." Yusuke shrugged and went back inside. Hiei let go of his grip of Izzy's hand, then placed his hand on her shoulder, bringing her closer to him. Both of them walked into the door and just before inside Hiei let go and headed to his corner, while Izzy went to the group. She was use to the ways Hiei acted; with and without the others around. Once inside, her hair was the a reddish brown, known as a strange cherry coke and auburn color that shone a strange reddish purple in certain spot at the right lighting.

"Alright Miss. Izzy. Are you prepared?" Genkai asked her while lifting up her cup of tea.

"Yes Genkai."

"O..K. why is she doing this again?" Kuwabara asked in a bit of confusion.

"I..." Izzy started but stopped.

"She wishes to get rid of a few things." Kurama replied in simpler terms for Kuwabara. He looked over to Hiei who was facing away from the crowd with a saddened face. 'Don't worry Hiei.... not you....'

"Like what?" The dumb-founded one asked another question.

"There are a few things that I wish not to be reminded of. So -"

"She wants her memory erased of everything! Alright Kuwabara? She won't know us... she won't know her past... not even her name! Alright?" Yusuke yelled at him with anger. None of them were taking this easily.

"Oh... "

"Would you like to get started? I can understand if you want to turn back know." said Genkai.

"No.. I mean... I'm ready." Izzy looked over to Hiei, and as if on cue, Hiei looked up from his spacing at her, then looked back to his feet. "Oh... Kurama. Your question earlier."

"Hm? Oh...yes?" the fox looked at her.

"Considering you already arranged my new family and such, right?"

"Yes. That has already been dealt with. They are awaiting you. I only told them that you got complete amnesia.."

"Who though?"

"Right now you would know her as your friend from school. The one that you have already stayed with before you met us, Roseanna."

Izanami's POV

"Alright... Um.. I am sorry but I wish not to be bothered for a while, like maybe a year or so. Considering I won't know anything -"

"Actually you would still have knowledge of school. You won't have to start with square one." Kurama interrupted me to make things more clear. I nodded to thank him.

"It may take sometime to adjust to things in a new world. So I need to take things slow. You all know I do not like being rushed. I know it would be difficult at first for everyone, including me. Hiei?" I looked towards the fire demon, breaking him from his thoughts.

"Hn?" He looked up once again.

"Remember... for me...Just in case I forget..." Both Hiei and I smiled and nodded at this comment while everyone else looked at us blankly. I nodded at Genkai to proceed on and get it over with. I made a seat infront of her facing the others and my back to her. I gave one last smile and nodded slightly to everyone. "So long... for now. And thank you." I looked over to Hiei for my last glance at someone, then I felt Genkai put her cold hands on the back of my head and transferred some kai energy that made her hands feel a little warmer. Closing my eyes, I then remembered some memories as much as I could; my Papa, my mother. My sister that I love and the sister that I wish to know. I tried to remember the journey that I made and met Hiei in the process. Then I felt everything leave, along with myself becoming tired. There was nothing but the most resent memories so I thought my last thoughts; 'Good bye everyone.... good bye Hiei... I love y-....' Then.... there was black...

Hiei's POV

I watched her. She left us and was not able to come back. As I faced away from the others, I had opened up my jagan eye to read what was going on in her head. I seen some of the things at which she never told me. I understood why she wanted them gone. And in the end was what got me. There it stopped me, '... good bye Hiei... I love y-...." and she was gone. Her kai energy had gone down dramatically, like it was asleep as well. She lied there, resting in Genkai's lap, now unaware of her surroundings as she slumbered. Everyone whispered amongst themselves but I didn't pay any heed to them. Izanami was gone now, and I must wait to get her back. But for now, at this time, I will be with her to the end. Kurama had already assigned me on taking her to her new place, knowing that I would do it. I allowed everyone to talk before I headed towards her. Genkai was running her fingers through Izanami's hair to straighten it out from her collapsing upon her. Once I got over there, Yukina helped lift her up to place her in my arms. I looked down at Yukina and thanked her, then looked upon Izanami, feeling a bit awkward holding her like I was; the way the ningens hold their female mate.

"Hiei? You know where the place is right?" Kurama asked me. I could tell he was taking great pleasure in seeing me like this. So were the spirit detective and ugly. I just merely hn'ed at the fox and headed to the exit.

"Hiei." This time the old woman called. I looked back at her, trying to balance the girl in my arms. "Take good care of her. I would merely expect you to be watching her more often now, so don't let anything happen to her." I turned away acknowledging this but then was stopped by her next remark. "And remember Hiei. Don't go near her for a long while. Don't let her know you are there. We don't need wishes to be broken by stupid desires."

"Don't worry old hag. I keep my promises." With that, I went out the door and took my traveling by tree. I finally got to the place Kurama instructed me to go to within ten minutes or so. Why the old hag have to live in the middle of nowhere, no body knows. Using my jagan once more, I peered into the house to make certain it was the right one, as well if it was the right place for her to stay. Nothing was out of the ordinary at this house. They were eating dinner like any other pathetic ningen family. The girl that Izanami was friends with was recognizable. I wasn't acquainted to her, but I seen her walking home with Izanami. Her and the rest of the school knew Izanami as Melissa; kind of like the kitsune being known as Shuuichi in the ningenkai. I closed up my jagan eye and jumped down from the branch I was in, Izanami still resting in my grasp. Reaching the door I looked for one of those buttons that made the buzzing sound, but found none, so I had to shift Izanami a bit so I could knock on the door. After doing so, I heard commotion going on inside and then the door opened. An older man with a mustache and a short beard, wearing glasses answered. He was balding some as well, but not much. His figure was roundish, perchance from not that much exercise and drinking too much of that ningen beer. He glared down at me, but then called for someone inside. Then the girl and an older woman that I'm guessing was the mother, came to the door. Right after them were two little boys, maybe around the ages of four and eight.

"Honey, don't just stand there, assist the young man." The woman replied. The two boys approached but she shoed them upstairs to, I'm guessing their rooms. The friend of Izanami's or Melissa's... had her hands to her mouth, holding in her shock of disbelief. 'Believe it ningen.'

"I was sent to give her to the Kita family." Was my first reply to them. They nodded and the man stepped aside, allowing me to enter. Once inside, they explained to me what room for me to place her in. I placed her on the bed that they had given her, and pulled the covers over her. They asked me several questions and I gave them answers that Kurama had expected me to give. Finally the mother and father of the family left the room, leaving me there with her, for the last time. I made certain that no one was around, then I sat at the side of the bed next to her. I brushed the hair from her face, then knelt down, stopped, then continued, giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead. I reached into my pocket and pulled out one of the tear gems that I had, this one at which I had let fall. I lifted up the blanket and placed it in one of her own pockets of her kimono. "Please, I'll keep a promise. Now can you keep mine? Promise.... you would wait for me? I lost you once before, and now I lost you again. Maybe these kami's wish for us not to be together. But I will stay to your side. Even if you don't know I'm there, I will be. So... please.... promise to wait for me." Less awkward than before, I once again knelt down, but kissed her lips. I parted from her and stood up. I was about to walk off when her mortal friend knocked on the door. She came in and looked at me, then Izanami.

"Is she alright?" She asked calmly.

"Yes. Please take care of her. She lost everything."

"I know... But how?" She headed to Izanami's bedside and looked at her. "How did Melissa lose all of her memories?"

"....that... I can not answer." I didn't know what to say to this ningen. Anything I would say, she wouldn't believe me.

"Who are you? Shuuichi told me that someone would be bringing her here, but I don't know who you are." She looked at me, the strangest eyes. Somewhat accusing maybe, worry, anger, fear? All mixed in one. Humans tend to feel that way at these times I'm guessing.

"I... I'm just a friend she use to know. She probably won't see me again, so you don't have to worry." With that, I walked out the door of the room. I walked down the steps of the stairs, noticing the parents sitting on the couch looking at me. The mother gave a relief smile at me, with thankful eyes. The father, that stern frown, with watching eyes. He wasn't the father of Izanami at all, so I seen no reason for him to glare at me. Youko was her father, more.... to my respect than this one. But I guess he had his reasons. I just continued down the stairs and headed to the front door. Once out, I looked around the place, noticing a tree near one of the windows. I jumped upon it, and found it was Izanami's room. Her friend, crying beside her bedside, her head was on the blankets that Izanami was under. She didn't realize I was there. I found the tree to be quite comfortable, and had plenty of branches and leaves to keep me covered. So I decided this tree to be my new home. I made my self comfortable and watched her through the window until I had fallen asleep.
