Personal Introduction: My name is Moon. I have midnight purple hair to the base of my back. I have light gray/ almost white eyes. I'm eighteen years old and 5'5. I have no family and live by myself. My family was killed by an evil demon named Malice when I was thirteen years old. To forget the pain, I removed some memories of my past.
I'm running through the woods screaming for them, trying to get there before its to late…
There's a clearing up ahead. I start running faster, but its no use. My worst fear has come true...
My sister, Jenny is laying there motionless. Mom is right next to her; I can tell she has already gone. Father was trying to crawl towards me, telling me to run, to save myself, before collapsing and not getting up again. Malice is now coming for me. He's almost to me, reaching for me
I wake up screaming. It's one of my worst nightmares that haunts me almost every night.
"I wish I could have done something to save them" I sighed glancing out of my window. I jump and squeal when I see two red eyes staring at me, and quickly turn on the lights, but when I turn back to the window, nothing was there.
'That was really weird…' I said to myself. I stood there for a few minutes staring out of the window, hoping that whatever I saw wouldn't come back.
I sit back down on the bed, my nightshirt bunching around my knees, and lean across the nightstand to pick up the necklace glinting in the lamp light.
Gripping the necklace tightly, I fall back on the bed, closing my eyes, and mumble to myself. "Hiei... If only I could find you again..." Tears well up in my eyes as the memory, from twelve years ago, of the day I got the necklace comes back in a rush...
'This is my promise to you, Moon. I will find you again, and I will be with you forever once I find you.'
"Where are you now Hiei? When I need someone most..." I whisper as my eyes open slowly, slipping on the necklace.
All of a sudden I hear a loud crash downstairs. "What the Fuck? Who the hell would be here at this time of the night?!"
I look around for the stupid katana, which is never where it needs to be at such moments. I finally find the damn thing, hiding under the bed.
…Why it was down there? I will never know…
Cursing at it a few times; I turn off the light and wait a few moments for my night vision to adjust.
Finally, when I'm able see everything I slowly open my bedroom door and slip around it as quietly as possible.
I fumble slightly at the stairs and curse silently.
At the base of the stairs was a figure of someone who was definitely not supposed to be in my house.
"GET THE HELL OUT DIPSHIT!" I yell as I leap from the stair landing and aiming straight at him.
Lucky for him my nightshirt snagged as I was going down…
As I lay on my back staring up at him I got a pretty good look, and wow he looked familiar.
He had reddish hair and green eyes, and an air about him that made him feel a helluva lot older then he appeared to be.
"Sorry" he said pulling me up slowly so as to not roll up the nightshirt anymore than it was.
…Note To Self Wear; pajama pants from now on…
"We needed a place to stay..." he stopped in mid sentence now getting a good look at me.
"M-Moon?! Oh my GOD! Moon! It's you! You're alive!" he exclaims.
Which earned him a look; like he'd now grown another head…
"It's me! Kurama! You know... Kurama... or maybe you know me by Shuichi?" said Kurama.
I looked at him long and hard.
Nope not a familiar name But replied out loud…
"Really...? I don't remember you..."
His mouth gaped; guess that didn't earn me any brownie points…
"Yeah... I forgot... You erased your memory... Well... um... can we stay here?"
I gazed at him skeptically, but after a moment nodded, he looked a little worse for wear, what harm could it do?
…Besides, I have a room full of weapons and a door that locks I think I'm safe for a night…
I leaned over the couch and knocked off the pillows.
"I've got this bed here and three more in a room up stairs... I can put someone on the floor in my room if need be." I say while walking to my abominably large linen closet.
...Please don't make me add one in my room...
"That's great! You're really kind Moon" Kurama said.
How come the weird guy knows my name and acts like he knows me?
He heads to the door and yells outside "Hey Hiei, Yuske. He paused, AND Kuwabara! She's going to let us stay here!!"
At the sound of the name Hiei I stop dead in my tracts, nearly falling on my face over the couch.
I quickly get up …God I hope no one saw that...
In walk three other guys.
"This is Yuske" Kurama said pointing to a boy I remembered from somewhere, but just couldn't put my finger on it. He had short black hair, gelled back with way more gel than was probably necessary.
"This is Kuwabara" Kurama said pointing to a boy with messy orange-brown hair, from the look of him I was betting I wasn't going to like him much.
"And this..." Kurama looked at me with saddened eyes.
I wondered what his problem was.
"This is Hiei..." he finishes pointing to a boy not much taller than myself with spiky black hair and a bit of white.
I gasped once I saw his eyes. 'He's the guy from my window! That sucka is going down'
Hiei noticed I staring at him and glared.
"What?!?" I snapped getting defensive and now blushing from staring.
"What are you looking at pip-squeak?" He replied
…Pip Squeak was I? He is so not worth my time…
"Got a problem short stuff? Or am I just too good looking from the glance at my window you had to stare again?" I snapped in retort. That'll teach him to call me pipsqueak
Yuske and Kuwabara stared at me.
"Got a problem dickheads?"
"We need to figure out where everyone's going to sleep" said Kurama; I think he didn't like the fighting much.
…So what? I won anyway…
"I have enough beds for everyone, just not in the most comfortable places."
I pulled out the couch bed, I was hoping the annoying orange haired boy, …could you call that orange?..., was staying on this one.
"One's right there. And there are three upstairs... My room is off limits."
The last part was added for the Hiei in the room.
"Well make yourself at home. You can stay here as long as you like within reason" I glanced at Hiei and noticed he was staring at me, so I stared back.
He realized that he was staring and growled at me.
"I can do this all day bucko." I said smiling innocently.
Yuske looked back and forth between Hiei and I.
"Um… Hey do you have any food um…?" Obviously he didn't know my name.
"Moon. The name is Moon and yes I do, follow me." I headed into the kitchen without their reply.
"Help yourselves... Don't eat me out of house and home"
Kuwabara looked at me and said, in his REALLY annoying voice, "Aren't you going to eat anything?"
…Yep definitely not going to like him… Bully for him…
I shake my head no, and head back out to the family room. I wasn't paying attention when I ran into Hiei.
"Sorry" I mumbled, not really caring.
Hiei looked at me and pulled me into the family room. "I know you from somewhere, don't I?" he snapped at me
I nodded "yes If you're the one I think you are, you know me"
"Where?" he demanded.
I glared and retorted "from the past. You and I were very close. You promised to marry me and to always protect me when I was six."
I felt a blush creeping up my but didn't care. I gazed up to see a surprised look on Hiei's face.
That earned me brownie points for the night or was it morning now?
"You don't remember, do you Hiei?" Kurama said coming out of the kitchen.
Hiei glared at Kurama then back at me.
…Gee didn't I just get a lot of glares tonight, it hasn't even been a full hour, new record!...
"Not really... I remember a little girl, but I don't remember telling her I'd marry her." he said
"Well you did Hiei, but you two were separated not long afterwards." Kurama answered leaning against the back of the couch.
"Well I'm sorry, but I didn't mean it... I don't even remember you let alone want to marry you" Hiei snapped, but actually looked away quickly.
I stood there speechless "So that's the way it was?"
"F- Fine then..." I pulled off the necklace. "I-If you r-really mean that then t-take this back." I stammered throwing the necklace at him. I ran upstairs into my room, slammed the door, locked it, dived onto my bed and screamed into my pillow.
…I don't think I could have been hurt worse…
