Chapter 10! I just thought of something more to do that might extend this story a little. You'll find out what that is at the end of the chapter.

^*^*^

(Kurama's POV)

I lightly threw Hiei down on the sofa where Yusuke was sitting, or used to be. As soon as Hiei's rear hit the fabric he got up and ran to the kitchen.

"Hiei, I'll never forget your name again." I told him as I sat down besides him on the sofa, wrapped my arm around his shoulder, placing my hand around his collarbone and pulled him to sit in between my legs and rest his back on my chest. "I really do love you Hiei . . . and I always will no matter what."

I felt such a need to tell Hiei how I felt. It made me feel calm . . .

"Don't say things like that in public Kurama." Hiei said to me. He reached out, took my hand and held it close to his own chest.

He seldom showed it, but Hiei cared.

Wait, how did I know? I hadn't even known him for more than a day. How could I feel that I knew him so well?

"Hiei, can you tell me more about who I used to be?" I asked him a little sadly.

"Why? I like who you are now just fine."

Something in his tone sounded lonely. He missed me, as close as I was.

"You're missing something Hiei . . . and so am I. I can never be happy if I don't become the person you first fell in love with."

"You were Kurama."

". . . I know that but what was I like, how did I act?"

"You were a kind, understanding, radiant, adorable, magnificent achievement." Hiei spoke slowly. His head turned up and looked at me. He had the most beautiful look in his eyes . . . but it was sad. My gaze was soon focused on Hiei's eyelids, and a tear that falling down his cheek. My heart skipped a beat. That wasn't right, and I knew it.

Hiei's emotions were like ice. Frozen, except for that small flame trapped in the center of his heart.

A flame.

"Fire Hiei, what do you have to do with fire?" Hiei's eyes quickly jetted open. He looked so hopeful.

"What did you say?" He asked turning around and looking me straight in the eye.

"Do you have something to do with fire? It sparks something in my mind." I told him as a smile came over my lips.

"Yeah, I do. I am a fire apparition." He sounded happy, I liked to hear him that way.

"That makes sense."

"Why?"

"Because you're so hot." I chuckled softly and wrapped my legs around Hiei.

". . . Well, so are you, and you're not a fire apparition." Hiei blushed as he spoke. Of course, when one is hesitant it means only that they want it more!

"OH HIEI!" I cried out in joy. In my shouts of pure and utter happiness I moved a little too much to the side, so Hiei and I both fell to the floor.

I landed on my back, and so did Hiei. Well, better to say I landed on my side and Hiei was clutching to my back.

I rolled over onto my stomach, taking Hiei with me. I lifted my head up and then looked to Hiei over my head.

"Hi." Hiei grunted sarcastically as he rolled himself off of me.

As soon as Hiei was off my back and lying on the floor on his own back, I rolled myself over onto him. "Why, hello there."

(Hiei's POV)

I couldn't help but like this Kurama, he grew on me, even if it had only been one day. Sure, I missed the old Kurama . . . but . . . if that Kurama came back . . . this one would be gone. And so would my relationship with him.

"So, nice weather we're having isn't it?" I asked casually, playing along with him.

"Why yes, it's just perfect. It's dark and gloomy, looks like rain. I hope Yusuke won't mind that we simply have to spend the night here. I wouldn't want you to catch a cold or anything." Kurama said to me softly.

He was acting different. Maybe I should have slept with him right from the start, then he would have gotten that out of his system.

But oh well, what's done is done.

"Oh yes, we'll have to stay here." I laughed as I nuzzled my nose against Kurama's.

"Who's staying here?" Yusuke asked as he stepped out of the kitchen.

"We are of course." Kurama told him as he rose to his feet and stood over me. "We have a bit of . . . laundry to do." I started to laugh, quickly accompanied by Kurama.

Yusuke just stood there.

"Where are you guys going to be sleeping?" He asked with a mildly frightened look on his face.

"Sleeping wouldn't be the word." I said as Kurama started to laugh, quickly followed by me.

"Okay . . . but where?"

"I was thinking where we were last time. Don't you agree Hiei?" Kurama asked as he squatted down over my stomach and kissed my nose.

Yusuke just stood there.

"Yes, that's a good idea." I agreed as I stood up, pushing Kurama up with me.

"But . . . that's my . . ." Yusuke started to protest but quickly stopped talking and turned around as soon as he saw that matching glares Kurama and I were giving him. "Okay. Hurry up and get your laundry done, I'll be in the kitchen asking my mom if it's okay."

This Kurama had his good points too; he was meaner to Yusuke. Yes.

"So Hiei, shall we go do that laundry?"

"Of course."

But I still missed that other Kurama who was a little more serious. Of course, I'd give up that Kurama to be able to call this Kurama my own. I would?

It still hurts though.

(Yusuke's POV)

"H-hey mom?" I asked taking a seat besides her at the kitchen table.

"Yes honey?"

"Can those friends of mine spend the night here? It looks like rain and . . . they've had a rough day."

"Okay, but only if you keep an eye on them."

". . . I really don't want to watch them all that much . . ."

"Please Yusuke, just watch them, I don't know them and I don't want strangers wandering around my house!"

"Fine mother . . ."

"What are their names anyway?"

Good question. I decided it would be best to play it safe just incase Hiei overheard and got mad at me again for calling Kurama, Kurama.

"The short guy is Hiei and the redhead is . . . Shuichi."

". . . You're forgetting I've never met them and I don't know what they look like. BRING THEM TO ME!"

"But mother! They're doing laundry!!!! LAUNDRY!!!"

"I don't care go get them!"

"Fine . . ." I sighed walking out of the kitchen and making my way over to where we kept the washer and dryer. I really didn't want mom to meet them . . . she'd start asking questions about them and then she'd find out that they were together and then she'd start to ask ME questions.

"Kurama stop!" Hiei laughed.

Ah, the sight before me . . .

Kurama was shirtless, laughing as he every once in a few seconds jerked his arm up, which was holding Hiei's pants, and then Hiei, who was laughing and jumping for them.

"But Hiei they need to be washed! Along with the rest of your clothes! COME TO KURAMA!" He cried out as he dropped the black pants and tackled Hiei, starting to grab and pull at his shirt.

It was then that I saw Kurama had bandages on his chest . . . were they from that accident Hiei told me about?

He said Kurama had lost his memory, that's a hard thing to have happen. Kurama seemed perfectly okay when it came to that. He knew how to do things (CLEARLY) . . . but everything he knew how to do Hiei must have taught him to.

Hiei sure could do things fast! He taught him how to do everything from laundry to- . . . well . . . IN MY ROOM!

I was going to help Kurama remember things too. He was spending way too much time with Hiei, I think they both needed a break.

So that was it, I was going to take Kurama to the demon world so he could see things from his past and hopefully get him to remember things!!!!

O.O Uh oh . . . PR!
