Chapter 1: No Choice…
"We have no other choice." Jeremy Belpois said, pacing his small dorm room.
"We've thought out every possible idea and even tried some of them. They didn't work and there is no way Odd's ideas have any hope of working. Not even worth trying them." Ulrich Stern said. He was sitting on the bed with his back against the wall, his legs stretched out in front of him, hands laced on his lap.
"Hey…I thought the swarm of locusts was a good one." Odd Della Robbia snapped back, giving the brown haired a look. He was also sitting on the bed with his back against the wall, but he was sitting cross legged with his dog Kiwi in his lap.
"But how will we get him to help…he may not even remember anything." Yumi Ishiyama added. She was leaning against the door with her arms crossed.
"You did say Jeremy that he seemed to have no memory of the prior events." Aelita Stone said. She was sitting in the desk chair, her knees together balancing a laptop.
"With the research I did online, I know he can help and you all remember last time. I'm sure he will come and help us." Jeremy said.
"How do you plan to find out?" Yumi asked.
"There is one way…" Jeremy stopped pacing and looked around to everyone for acceptance.
All nodded, it was worth a shot.

In another city, quite a ways away, a certain red head was getting ready to head out the door of his apartment, followed by a black haired friend, when the phone rang.
"Let me get that." Kurama said as he headed towards the phone on the table.
"Hn." Hiei said, not liking the idea of someone calling right when they were about to leave.
On the third ring, Kurama picked up the phone. "Hello." He said.
"Hello…is this Mr. Minamino, Shuiichi Minamino?" He heard.
"Yes." Kurama looked to Hiei and thought. 'I should have let it ring. I think it is a salesman.'
'Your fault…hang up and let's go.' Hiei thought back.
"Hi…you may not remember me, but my name is Jeremy Belpois and I attend Kadic Junior High. You were here about a month ago, substituting for Ms. Hertz's class."
"Yes I remember you, how is everything?" Kurama looked again to Hiei. 'It is a student from that private school I went to last month.'
'What could he want?' Hiei thought.
Kurama shrugged his answer.
"Well, everything's not okay and I'd like to ask you some questions. I know they might sound weird and if you can not answer them then I'm sorry to bother you and will never call again." Jeremy said.
"Okay." Kurama smiled. 'They must need help with XANA again.' For 'yes' he did remember that adventure, but promised he would never tell anyone and that included not letting them know he remembered. If they needed his help, they were going to have to ask. The fox in him was awakening and wanting to play.
"Do you remember anything weird happening the last time you were here?" Jeremy asked.
"Yes." Kurama was still smiling.
"Okay. Do you remember the name XANA, Mr. Minamino?" Came the next question.
"Yes Jeremy, I remember that name and so we can get to what you need, you can call me Kurama." Kurama said and received a look from Hiei that included the fire demon's eyebrows rising to hide under his bandana.
"You remember…?" The voice was soft, yet had a hint of shock and fear in it.
"Yes." Kurama said, getting worried at the tone the voice had taken.
"Why…how…you acted……" Jeremy didn't seem to know how to take the news.
"You told me I may not remember and I felt it best to pretend I did not, even with you all. I thought it would be easier if you thought I did not, so then you would feel better at keeping my secret and I still trust you to keep my secret." Kurama said.
"We have and will…we need your help again. That is if you want to…and can…and…" Jeremy was excited and giving the others in his room the thumbs up.
"What can I do?" Kurama asked.
"I don't want to go over it on the phone. I'm not sure if the line's being monitored. I just think it would be easier if you saw it first." Jeremy said.
"I am on my way." Kurama said and looked to Hiei with a nod.
"Are you sure? I mean we really appreciate…"
"I have nothing better to do and besides I am up for another adventure." The red head said, his green eyes sparkling.
"How soon can you get here?"
"How about we meet after classes tomorrow, at the man-hole cover?" Kurama said.
"Deal…and thank you so much." Jeremy said with a lot of relief in his voice.
"Do you mind if I bring a friend?" Kurama asked, knowing that his little fire demon friend would get a kick out of this adventure, especially if it was going to be anything like the last one.
"Do you trust him?" Jeremy asked.
"With my life." Kurama said, his smile getting bigger as he looked at the demon, causing the demon to wonder what in ice blazes was going on.
"Then we trust him too. See you tomorrow."
Kurama hung up the phone and walked over to the confused demon. "Are you up for some excitement?" He asked.
"Hn." Hiei said with a slight smirk on his lips.
