Review Anwers:

Midnightdream51: Thank you for the really long review! That is partly/basically what I am going to do for my fic. It's not happy all through. ^^ Thanks for the 'tips', and I read your fic…Reviewed it too! I'm waiting for chap. 2. -^.^-

Elendil Star-Lover: I don't quite understand what you said. Do you mean did Hiei know what he was doing in Chapter 6? If it is, then yes, he knew what he was doing…And the Kurama/Shuichi thing…Kick's human boy out? No, I don't think so. Shuichi IS basically Youko Kurama…Okay, I'm confusing myself! Sorry! ^^;;

Okay! Chapter 7 finally! *sweat drop* ENJOY! =DD

Ayase and Kurama's Date! Hiei's Back!

~*~

It was a Friday today and the day that Ayase had scheduled the date for her and Kurama.

Kurama didn't like the idea, but it was the only way to get the cure from Ayase. Yusuke, Rieko, Kuwabara and Hiei would stay at Yusuke's apartment while the two were out.

Ayase stood in front of a mirror she bought to put in Yusuke's room.

"Mmm! I look beautiful! Don't you think?" She asked the others as she twirled around in a tight little light violet dress which went down to about her knees, and had little cherry blossoms on the bottom.

Yusuke looked at it for a while, "Hmm…its okay. I mean, it's great and all."

Ayase glared at him a bit. "Oh…Okay…What do you think, Kuwabara-san?" She asked.

"Uh, it's really girly. But I guess you're a girl, so it's cool."

Ayase laughed a little at what he said then turned her view to Rieko and Hiei who were putting a puzzle together.

"Well? How about you two?" She asked.

"Nice." Rieko quickly said, practically ignoring her sister.

"Pretty." Hiei looked up at her dress then continued the puzzle.

"Okay, well, he'll be here any minute! And, here Yusuke…"

She tossed him a tiny bottle filled with a gooey green substance.

"Eww! What is this?" He held the bottle feeling grossed out.

"It's the cure. Kurama already agreed to go on a date with me so there you go."

"But wasn't the cure supposed to be powery? Not…Goop?" Yusuke asked.

"Yes, but Hiei cannot just simply EAT powder. I mixed the powder with some water which turned it into the gooey form.

"Oh! Okay…Thanks! Um, does Hiei just eat this stuff? Just like that?" He asked as he shook the bottle around.

"Yeah, but I advise that Kurama should feed it to him tomorrow."

"Why?" Rieko asked looking up from the puzzle.

"No particular reason." Just then, the front door opened [a/n: Yusuke left it open for Kurama.] and Kurama stepped in. Ayase came rushing out to him.

"Kurama! You're finally here! Oh, let's go!" Ayase quickly hugged his arm.

Kurama looked back at Yusuke and the others. He gave them the, "who-does-she-thing-she-is?" look.

The others smirked a bit. Yusuke ran up to Kurama and handed him the tiny bottle.

"It's the cure. Feed it to Hiei tomorrow morning." Yusuke whispered.

"Okay." Kurama then slid the bottle in one of his pockets of his nice, neat suit and walked out the door with Ayase.

Right when the door slammed and their footsteps outside could not be heard Rieko stuck her tongue out.

"Stupid sister."

Hiei looked at her.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

She then glanced at him, Hiei's face looked a little troubled.

"Nothing. I don't know. I just wonder if you really will remember me after you go back to your old self…"

Hiei blinked a couple of times before he said something.

"Rieko, I told you a few days ago, I'll always remember you. My old self will know you some how. Even though I am not quite sure how he's like…But I just hope he doesn't hurt you."

Rieko looked down slightly. "Hmm. Okay."

Yusuke noticed Rieko's sad look.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, she's just not-at-ease." Hiei answered for her.

"Oh, okay…Hey Kuwabara, wanna play twister?" Yusuke ran over to him with a game board.

A t s o m e f a n c y r e s t a u r a n t…

Ayase looked around at the fancy white tables, the candles and lights.

"Oh, this place looks so wealthy! Thank you for taking me here!" She put her hand on his.

"Uh, you're welcome…Have you ordered?" Kurama took his hand out from under hers.

'Ick, don't touch me.' He thought.

Ayase called over a waiter and they both ordered some main dishes…

--D e s s e r t—

Ayase tapped her mouth with her fingers. "Mmm! That was great! How about dessert?"

Kurama sighed. "Uh, what would you want?"

"I want us to share a milk shake…" She said battering her eye lashes at him.

Kurama smiled a little but inside he was a bit disgusted.

"Uhm…Okay!" Kurama called over the waited and soon their milk shake had arrived with-

"ONE STRAW?" Kurama gasped a little and sat back in his seat. Everyone stared at them for a while then went back to their own business.

"What's wrong?" Ayase asked him scooting closer to Kurama.

"I, er, ah! Nothing, Ayase-san…" Kurama shivered a little then took a sip of the milk shake. A rather long sip drinking at least 1/4th of the whole drink.

"There! Now you can finish the rest!" Kurama said, shoving the shake over to her.

"But…Are you sure? You know you can always have more…" Ayase then sipped some of the shake.

"Y-yeah, I'm sure." Kurama looked away from her, up into the sky.

'Just about an hour more with this girl and I'll be free.' He thought.

~*~

L A T E R…

Ayase and Kurama walked over in the park. The moon lit the place very nicely. The wind was warm and comfortable and the trees swayed as if dancing. They both sat down at a bench.

"Hmmm…This is very romantic, Kurama!" Ayase sighed as she gently leaned on him.

"Y-yeah." He agreed even though he really didn't.

Ayase looked over at Kurama who stared back curiously. "What?" He asked, raising an eye brow.

"It's nothing. Just that the moon light brings out your emerald eyes…" Ayase answered, scooting even closer to him.

Kurama was a little troubled by that…Comment. He thought it was rather CORNY.

"Uh, thanks you, Ayas-"Before he could finish Ayase pulled him into a soft smooch. Then she let go. Ayase giggled a little. Kurama was just, blank-faced.

"Lets go now, shall we?" Ayase pulled Kurama up from the bench.

Kurama still had a blank, surprised face on, shocked expression.

~*~

"It's 11:27 pm!" Yusuke said looking at the clock.

"They must be having fun…"

Just then, Ayase and Kurama came walking through the door.

"H-Hiei…Lets go." Kurama said in a quite, monotone voice.

"Okay." Hiei got up, but before he left with Kurama he gave the last piece of the puzzle to Rieko.

"Finish it for us, okay?" Hiei smiled slightly, giving Rieko a quick kiss on the cheek then ran over to Kurama. The both waved and slammed the door on the way out.

Kuwabara held the puppy [chap. 2 one Hiei won] plushy and threw it at Rieko to snap her out of stillness.

"Earth to Rieko! He said finish the puzzle!" Kuwabara said pointing at the puzzle itself.

Rieko snapped back to 'reality' by the sound of the plush's collar bell.

"Oh! Yeah, Right! Okay…" She placed the last piece in, and the picture was a tulip garden. [a/n: Don't ask me why it's a tulip garden. It just popped into my mind. ^^;;]

Yusuke welcomed Ayase home. "Hey, Ayase-san! How was it?" He asked.

"It was wonderful!" Ayase answered, dreamy eyed.

Yusuke sweat dropped. "Well, okay…"

Ayase danced into Yusuke's room, singing on the way too. "Good night!" She said as she closed the door. Rieko placed the puzzle on the counter and went outside in the balcony. Yusuke walked Kuwabara out before heading for bed. He noticed Rieko outside on the balcony.

"Hey Rieko! What're you doing out there? Isn't it cold?" He asked lying on the couch.



Rieko nodded, 'no.' "It's not cold. I'll go inside in a while. Don't mind me."

Yusuke blinked then went to sleep.

Rieko looked down at the street. Yusuke's apartment wasn't that high off the ground. She looked around at the view. Not much to see either. She sighed and leaned on the railing.

"He will remember me…" Rieko ended up falling asleep on the railing.

T H E N E X T D A Y…

As Hiei laid in bed, asleep, Kurama awoke and got the cure bottle out of his suit. He slowly opened it and sniffed the gooey green jelly-like stuff.

"Ewww…" Kurama was glad he wasn't eating it. It smelled of rotten eggs and a tad bit of gravy.

Then, Kurama put a reasonable amount of it on a teaspoon. As Hiei still was asleep, Kurama lifted Hiei's head and stuck the spoon into his mouth. Hiei awoke, swallowing the gooey stuff and his eyes shot wide open.

"ACK!" Hiei began to spit bits of the goop out. "Kurama, you baka. What are you doing??" Kurama remained speechless. Hiei looked around and found himself in Kurama's bed.

"NANI? What am I doing here? Kurama, answer me!" Hiei demanded looking rather annoyed.

"Y-you're back…" Kurama stuttered.

"I've always been here, baka." Hiei rolled his eyes.

"Hiei!" Kurama was so happy that he was about to HUG Hiei…But he didn't.

"Tell me, WHY am I here, Kurama?!" Hiei still wanted to know.

"Hiei, you wont believe me, but you've had amnesia for the passed few days…" Kurama put on a happy smile.

"Me? Amnesia? Hn. Yeah, right." Hiei got up and realized he was in blue pajamas.

"You, by any chance didn't put this on me did you?" Hiei tilted his head, looking angry.

"You did." Kurama chuckled a little as Hiei looked at what he was wearing with disgust. Hiei quickly asked Kurama where his normal black clothes were and changed into those and also got ready for anything he'd have to do today.

~*~

"Hn. Okay, so I had amnesia. What the hell did I do then?" Hiei looked down wondering. "I do feel like I've been out for a few days…"

"Well, while you were 'out', Koenma sent Yusuke a visitor to live with him for a month or two.

The visitor's sister is here too."

Hiei shook his head. "So what?" He asked plainly.

"Well, you've become really friendly with Yusuke's visitor, and her sister has become really friendly with me." Kurama shivered a little in fear, rememebering last night's incident.

"Hn. Like I would be friendly enough to anyone. Prove this, Kurama." Hiei opened the front door to Kurama's house and the two went walking over to Yusuke's.
