Lost Memories
Chapter 1- Konichiwa!
'Finally, school is over.' Kurama thought staring out at the window thinking in deep thought. Kurama was never interested in school work, he didn't even want to go to school, he thought of it as a waste of time. Even so with his reaction towards studies, he still manages to be top one in the class. He may be the smartest, but his knowledge for it doesn't really come in handy when he goes out for battles.
"Remember there is a big exam next week so class you better study hard to pass this trimester." Said the teacher of Kurama, who was announcing a big exam for the next week.
"Hey Shuichi, can you help me out in the coming test? I have a problem memorizing you see." A girl from his class started to flit with Kurama.
'Not again this happens every exams, I hate going through this.'
"Uhh…well you see…I" Before Kurama could even finish his sentence a group of girls starting to ask him the same question too. I was very obvious that they only wanted to be with Kurama.
"Uhh…come' on Shuichi, please?" All the girls started to beg him all over again. Kurama was really annoyed but he didn't want to show that he was.
"Ummm…You see I can't" He was again interrupted, this time by his teacher.
"Now girls, Shuichi also has to study to know. He can't attend you all so you must understand." The teacher said to the girls.
'Phew, saved by the teacher.'
"But sir, Shuichi is already a walking text book he doesn't need to study anymore." One of the girls objected.
Kurama could only make a fake smile.
"You're exaggerating, he still needs to study, I know that he his top one in the class, but what if he doesn't get the grade he wants to get, because of tutoring? Do you think he deserves it?" The Teacher then again saved Kurama from all the girls.
"Uhh…" All the girls suddenly left with there rejected faces. They knew that their teacher was right to say that. So they just left before he would say something bad.
"Thanks." Kurama thanked the teacher.
"No problem, I see you always go through this problem every trimester so I figured to give you a hand." He said.
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
Kurama then soon left the school eager to. But once has gone out of the school grounds he seemed to be looking for someone. He stopped and looks around; he was looking up, side by side, left to right. But he still couldn't find this someone he was expecting.
"Who are you looking for fox?" The cold familiar voice called out.
"Oh Hiei, I was just looking for you." Kurama said to the fire demon.
"You know that I am always at the tree sleeping right. So why do you ask?" Hiei asked Kurama who always knew what Hiei was doing twenty four hours a day if he were in Ningenkai.
"Yeah, I know. But I was afraid that you might have gone somewhere. You know like when Mukuro calls you all of a sudden for a mission for her, and you suddenly vanish." Kurama noted.
"Hn. I want to go to your place now." Hiei demanded.
"Sure thing." Kurama smiled at the fire demon and they walked home together.
While walking Kurama couldn't think of anything but the demon right beside him, he always looked at the fire demon seeing if he could catch some glibs of him while he was not looking. Yes, Kurama was in love with his Conrad, his teammate, his best friend, but he couldn't take it. For him it was love at first sight when he first saw Hiei. Kurama first had a crush on him, but as time flew by this crush even became something more than just a crush. He was in love with him. Kurama didn't want to affectionate to much on the fire demon for Hiei was not used to this kinds of things, so Kurama remained it a secret, he would just show affection to him whenever he was not looking or when he is not around.
"What are you looking at fox?" Hiei caught him looking at him.
"Sorry I was absent minded." Kurama made an excuse. Kurama was looking at Hiei from the back the whole time; Hiei however could see him through his jagan eye.
"Walk faster, I am hungry." Hiei demanded.
Kurama began to walk faster until he caught up to Hiei. "What would you want to have then when we get home?" Kurama asked so cheerfully at Hiei.
"Aren't you worried your mother is there?" Hiei asked. Hiei was always bothered that whenever he stays in Kurama's house his mother would be there, Hiei was not comfortable around her even if she was the ningen mother of Kurama.
"No, my mother always sees you and she would go to work tonight so she would probably leave about five so I wouldn't think she minds if you are there." Kurama said happily not to upset Hiei. Hiei would always feel uncomfortable when Shiori were there even if he was used to seeing Shiori all the time he still didn't like ningens near him.
"Is that so? What time is it?" Hiei asked hoping that it would be pass five.
"4:15. Why do you ask?" Kurama asked looking at his watch reading the time.
"Err…no reason." Hiei said. Feeling disappointed.
"I know that you don't like ningens around you, but I swear to you my mother is different so you just have to relax. Think of her as one of us, and you would feel comfortable. I had the same reaction as you did before when I started to life in Shuichi's body, but as time flew, it's very comfortable to stay with her." Kurama said.
"Hn. I still don't approve of it." Hiei said looking away from the direction of where Kurama was.
"Better get used to it, for you are staying at my home."
"Hn."
They didn't talk much after that conversation. They just walked home together. Not saying a word to each other. Kurama tried to talk to Hiei, but there was nothing to say. Kurama had been living in Ningenkai for quite some time now so he doesn't really know what has been going on in Makai. Hiei however lived in both worlds, he would stay in the palace of Mukuro serving her for he will be her next heir, or he would stay in Kurama's home when he felt like he didn't want to be in Makai. Knowing that Hiei was an insensitive demon who didn't care at all what happens around him, he didn't also want to talk about the current things happening in Makai. So they were both silent till they reached the home of Kurama.
"Ah Hiei…" Kurama was about to say something to Hiei.
"What?" Hiei asked stopping and looking at his friend.
'Uhh…why did I call him? I don't know what to say… oh no, he might get mad at me for calling him and not saying anything to him…' Kurama was afraid that he said the wrong thing calling Hiei, without anything to say.
"What is it Kurama?" Hiei asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Uh...oh…sorry its nothing." Kurama said for it was true he was not going to tell Hiei anything he just called him by accident.
"When you don't have to say anything, just don't say anything at all. Baka-Kitsune." Hiei mocked Kurama, but Kurama was used to it. He was used to his friend mocking him all the time, when he does something stupid.
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
Kurama opened the door going inside his home.
"I am home." He said out loud to let his mother know that he was home. Kurama took out his shoes and left them by the door, and so did Hiei. Hiei already knew the ningen customs when he was at the home of Kurama.
"Oh Shuichi your home. I am in the kitchen, making some snacks." Shiori said.
"Mother, I brought home Hiei with me. Can he stay for the night?" Kurama asked his mother as he and Hiei were going to the kitchen of Kurama. Shiori was making some fried squid balls for snacks.
"Yeah sure, it's fine with me." Shiori said as Kurama and Hiei entered the kitchen.
"Konichiwa, Hiei." Shoiri greeted.
Hiei only smiled, he didn't know what to reply to her.
"Don't worry about me being here Hiei, I am going to work tonight, I would probably be home by tomorrow morning. So make yourself feel at home." Shiori said to Hiei.
Kurama and Hiei sat down the chairs of the dining table, waiting to serve.
"Mother, what time are you arriving from work?" Kurama asked as Shiori placed down the fried squid ball on the table.
"I am not sure about 7am, estimated."
Hiei was carefully studying the squid balls of Shiori, for it had a weird texture compared to what he imagined it to be.
"Why do you ask?" Shiori got a fork and got a squid ball and ate it as well.
"No reason. There won't be classes tomorrow, for the teachers are having a deliberation." Kurama said.
"Oh is that so." Shiori quickly notices the time, it was 4:45 she had to go to work now, and she didn't want to be late. She stood up from her chair.
"Leaving so soon?" Kurama asked.
"Yes, apparently. Take good care of yourself. Hiei do please watch over Shuichi while I am gone." Shiori smiled trusting Hiei with that.
Hiei just nodded, about to take a squid ball into his mouth.
"So see you two boys then tomorrow. Bye." Shiori waved bye.
"Bye." Kurama said, as he waved at his mother and saw her off. He closed the door, and went back to the kitchen and ate the fried squid balls his mother made.
As Kurama entered the kitchen Hiei was already finished with the half of the squid balls.
Kurama was shocked. "Wow, Hiei you sure have a big appetite." Kurama knew that Hiei had a big appetite he just wanted to say it.
Kurama sat down his original place. "Hiei, can you please give me some too?" Kurama asked politely like he was a child.
Hiei just pushed the plate nearer to Kurama, giving him the left over.
"Thanks Hiei." Kurama got and started to eat again.
Hiei was chewing so he didn't say anything, but even if Kurama said Thank you to him he wouldn't really care.
"So your mother went to her job then, huh?" Hiei said.
"Yup." Kurama said taking another squid ball.
"Hn. Good." Hiei said.
"Hiei why do you dislike ningens so much?" Kurama asked.
"Because they are weak and they make you weak. I hate it when people are weak it just shows that they cannot protect themselves, that they are helpless. I am not weak that it why." Hiei replied, he didn't take a squid anymore, he gave all to Kurama, he already ate too many.
"That is not all true you know." Kurama said to Hiei. "Its doesn't mean when they care about you it shows that they show weakness towards you, it just means they love you and they care so much for you." Kurama began to blush slightly as he said the word "love".
"I don't care. I think of it that way and that's that." Hiei said.
Kurama didn't want to argue with Hiei anymore because of that so he remained quiet. Till he finished all his squid balls.
"Hiei I will go up stairs first and change my clothes so you stay here okay?" Kurama smiled at Hiei, as Kurama went up stairs to his room and changed his clothes. While doing so Hiei was exploring the home of Kurama.
The room of Kurama was right for only the maximum of four people, but Kurama stayed in that room alone. When you enter his room in the right you can find his own bathroom, his study table was a meter away his door, there was only one window in his room the view from his window was unfortunately covered by a tree, the bed of Kurama was in front of his study table, there is a small drawer beside it and on top of it was a lamp. His cabinet is beside his study table next to the door.
Kurama quickly changed his clothes to a yellow polo blouse and blue jeans, and hurried downstairs where Hiei was. He gets conscious when Hiei gets bored, he hated that feeling. So he hurried down to accommodate Hiei.
"Nice pictures you got here." Hiei said to Kurama as he knew he was going down, Hiei was looking at the baby album of Kurama when he was an infant till one year old.
Kurama quickly went to Hiei and saw the album as he snatched it away form him.
"Hey, Kurama I was looking at that. Give it back." Hiei demanded.
"Hehehehe, why don't you look at another album and I will just put this away, huh?" Kurama was so embarrassed for there were pictures of him naked, crying, drinking milk, when he was first born, and all there. Kurama turned so red. He was trying to look for a place to hide the baby album.
"No. Give that back, or I will have to take it from you." Hiei threatened Kurama.
"No, I will keep this somewhere where no one can see it." As Kurama said this Hiei quickly snatched the baby album of Kurama, with his speed it looked like he didn't even stand up from his place.
"Ah! Hiei!" Kurama was annoyed, but Hiei enjoyed it. Kurama saw how Hiei enjoyed looking at it so he let him be, he just joined him looking at the baby pictures. He sat beside Hiei and started to explain the things that happened in the picture.
They both laughed at some of the pictures, and the stories Kurama was telling. They both enjoyed it, Hiei found it funny for he couldn't believe the happenings just right after the great Youko Kurama was born as Shuichi Minamino. They both enjoyed it; Kurama was no longer embarrassed by it, even if there were some pictures that are still embarrassing for him. Kurama would only act calm, but he turned red, as Hiei would look and comment on the pictures.
'I feel so embarrassed, you're looking at my pictures. Well at least I am making you happy by just making you laugh. I like you, when you laugh that is why I let you see these pictures. I hope you keep that smile on your face all the time, I like seeing you smile.'
Kurama smiled and looked at Hiei with compassion and gentleness as he was laughing at the pictures of Kurama.
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
They enjoyed laughing, but then Kurama noticed the time, it was already 6pm and he had not prepared there dinner yet.
"Hiei, I better prepare dinner now. Better keep this away now." Kurama got the baby album and kept it in a drawer so that no one would ever see it.
"What are we having?" Hiei asked, he was hungry even if he finished half of the fried squid balls that Shiori prepared.
"What do you want, choose from, Sukiyaki, Shabu-Shabu, Yakitori, or do you want Makai food?" Kurama asked Hiei.
Hiei didn't care much of the food that they are going to eat as long as he eats its fine with him.
"You choose this is your house." Hiei said.
"No, but you are my guest its just improper." Kurama said.
"Sukiyaki…" Hiei whispered.
"What I cannot hear you Hiei." Kurama said.
"I said Sukiyaki you Baka Kitsune." Hiei said giving him a smirk.
"Okay then, Sukiyaki that it." Kurama smiled. Kurama went to the kitchen, Hiei was his tail following wherever Kurama went.
