How Could I Forget You?

A/n: All right everyone! I've got another muse to introduce. Hey that rhymes! And as my other muse, Taylor says, "I'm a poet and I didn't even know it!" Anyway, here's Kristen.
Kristen: Hey!
Rain: Okay, well now that you've met her, let's move on. I didn't get as many responses as I was hoping to, but Kristen helped me a little. We got to talking in Excel class and were able to come up with an idea. Now it's not the best idea and it's a little humorous, but it's all I've got. If no one likes it, I'll redo this chapter if someone gives me a better idea.
Kristen: Tell them about that other thing I said.
Rain: Oh yeah! Kristen here brought something to my attention. Back in the last chapter I think, the scene where Sazumi gets her memories back, Kristen was a little confused. She didn't understand why the villain just left while Sazumi became unconscious and got her memories back. Well see what happened was Sazumi got her memories back, causing her brain to overload. Then she fainted. While she was unconscious the villain had to leave her so he could see how the others were holding up and if he needed to help his henchmen. Besides all he wanted to do so far was return Sazumi's memories. Then he would take her down later. That's about it. The rest will be explained in this chapter. Here it is.
Chapter 10: Loathing Creeps and Killing Dumb Henchmen
This chapter is dedicated to Kaimei-san who gave me the idea and was the only one to respond to my query. Thanks a bunch!
Hiei stood stock-still. He just stared at the white-haired girl in front of him as she continued to smile brightly.
"Hiei, I got them back. I have my memories back," Sazumi declared happily. Then she hugged Hiei fiercely.
"Uh-hem," someone cleared their throat, "I hate to break up this wonderful reunion, I really do, but I think Yusuke and Kuwabara could use our help." Kurama stated.
Sazumi slowly and reluctantly peeled herself away from the embrace. She gave Hiei a small smile and then her facetransformed into serious mode.
"You're right Kurama," she said. Sazumi looked at Hiei. "You go help them. I'll take care of Kurama then join you," she told him. Hiei gave a small nod and dashed off to help the two ningens in battle.
Kurama leaned on Sazumi as the two made it over to a pile of huge crates. Sazumi grabbed her friend gently and carefully eased him down next to the crates. In his still slightly injured condition, Kurama slouched on the floor with his back to the crates. Sazumi kneeled next to him.
"Will you be okay here?" she asked quietly, biting her lip. "I mean, can you protect yourself in that condition?" Kurama gave a small laugh and smiled at his worrisome friend.
"I'll be fine," he said reassuringly. "Go. They need you more than I do. Besides, that's where you would rather be, fighting next to them."
"Thank you Kurama," Sazumi said softly. Then she stood up and ran off.
"Be careful," Kurama whispered to his friends retreating form.
Sazumi dashed off quickly to help her friends and Hiei. Sazumi didn't waste any time engaging in battle. She quickly concentrated on her spirit energy and formed some spirit weapons. Sazumi fought next to Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei, but she stayed closest to Hiei.
"Nice to have ya back," Yusuke called between fighting. He grinned at her.
"Yeah, shrimp!" Kuwabara agreed.
"Nice to be back!" Sazumi yelled back. "And don't call me shrimp!"and she smiled happily, truly happy to be back with her friends. Even doubly happy to be back with Hiei.
The Reikai Tantei, plus their newly returned female member, continued to fight the youkai henchmen fervidly. They easily tackled their enemies and cut them down one by one. Yusuke fired his spirit gun while punching and kicking inbetween. Kuwabara sliced the youkai with his spirit sword and without much effort. Hiei was a blur as he relentlessly attacked with his steel katana. Many youkai fell at his feet as he cut and sliced them apart. Sazumi, out of practice, managed to hold her own and maybe even a little more, as she wielded spirit katanas, spirit kunai, and her many other weapons in her spirit aresonal.
And as the last youkai fell, aplacid voice rang out. The voice was mild, yet forceful. But in its depths Sazumi could sense hatred and anger laced within.
"Awesome job! I'm impressed Reikai Tantei. I never thought you would have gotten through my cronies so quickly. And with such style too. Very, very good. You too, Sazumi my dear. You held your own even though you haven't been back figthing for awhile. Splended," the voice praised sarcastically.
Sazumi searched for the voice. She knew instantly who it was. Her anger began to rise. How she hated that voice, hated the owner of that voice. The voice that was so pleasant with such pleasant words, but was deeply laced with anger, hate, and evil. The voice that spoke wonderful promises, but also promised pain and misery between each word. Sazumi wanted to shut the voice up. She wanted to crush it so bad. Mostly she wanted to never hear it utter another word again. She wanted that man to pay. Sazumi wanted that bastard who had stolen her memories, taken her friends away, and had caused so much pain, to pay.
Then from behind the shadows he came. An evil sneer was set upon his face. He stood tall and collected, as cool as ever. His eyes shone with murderous intent. Sazumi could see the cruel laughter behind his icy stare. He stared her down with the ferocity of a killer. He wanted something and he was going to take down whoever got in his way. He gave a charming smile laced with cockiness. He knew he had power. He knew he could manipulate people.And he knew the Reikai Tantei knew this.
Sazumi knew all those things about him. Sheunderstood perfectly what he was. He was a monster, a murder; and Sazumi utterly loathed him for it. Sazumi wanted to take his ass down.
TBC...
A/n: Okay I changed my mind and decided not to explain things this chapter. I will next chapter though. I felt this was a good place to end. Besides I'm going to get in trouble if I stay on the computer any longer. Sorry for any mistakes. I was trying to get this chapter donequickly. Ihope everyone likes it. I thought it was pretty good for me. Rate and review please. It's only a click away.
