Hiya everyone! Now, don't hurt me, because this chapter will be very un-
funny. UN! In fact, it may even be the opposite of funny! Whatever that is
. . . anyway, here we go!
^*^*^
(Hiei's POV)
"Kurama, are you okay from that trip with Yusuke? Nothing happened to you . . . did it?" I questioned my lover who cradled me in arms, the both of us clothed now in all but our shirts. And because of that, I was worried. Kurama still had the cuts from our accident, but also many others.
Kurama turned and looked up into the night sky, the reflection of the moon in his large, beautiful eyes.
"Let's stay out here tonight Hiei," Kurama suggested as he gave me a quick kiss on my cheek.
"You haven't answered my question," I grunted at him. I needed to know if he was okay. I felt even closer to him than I ever did before. I couldn't bare it if he were to be badly hurt.
Which brought upon my concerns from before.
Kurama was badly injured. No, not Kurama, Shuichi, he wasn't Kurama anymore. His personality wasn't the same as it used to be! He was not my friend anymore!
Then, if Kurama's personality wasn't the same . . . did I really love the old Kurama? I had gotten together with the Kurama who knew nothing of himself or of me. Which got me to wonder, did I not love Kurama on a higher level than just his personality? If not, then when Kurama regained his memories this wonderful feeling of love would vanish. It couldn't be true . . . I had to love Kurama for who he was within his soul. But if I did, than why did fear him regaining his memory, and yet not getting him back?
"I . . . I have a few cuts here and there, a bump on the head, but nothing more," Kurama answered as his arms held me tighter against his chest. "I'm fine."
"Are you sure you are?" I asked, trying to hide my sadness.
"Yes, of course I am. You sure do worry about me a lot. I wish I could remember the *first* time we made love . . . must have been great," Kurama said as he moved himself down, laying on the grass, I sitting beside him. Wait, Kurama had said that before! Earlier today when he woke up for the fist time, I had been meaning to ask him what sparked it.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked, laying over besides him.
"Well, you seem to care about me a lot. I would think you put such passion in all related things. In fact, I know that," Kurama said kindly to me.
Something wasn't right. Kurama should remember the first time we made love. It was after all today . . . ((oh how times flies X.X)) Then it hit me, earlier, Kurama had said, 'nice to meet you . . .' as though he was just meeting me. Could it be that the bump Kurama got from those demons today caused him to lose his memory again!?
For some reason I felt like crying just then . . .
Why did this keep happening?! EVERY TIME KURAMA LOST HIS MEMORY IT WAS ALMOST AS IF HE HAD DIED!!! Every time I would have to tell him my name . . . the name he'd said so many times before. When Kurama was still himself, it was probably the last thing on his mind that he would ever forget Hiei's name! DAMN IT! I couldn't stand this! I was really going to leave this time. I wasn't coming back either! Falling in love was a mistake! It only causes pain like this!
"Kurama, let's go to sleep," I said softly as I rolled up my shirt and placed it under Kurama's head.
"Alright Hiei," Kurama agreed as his eyes closed and he sighed heavily, but happily.
"Goodnight."
I waited a couple of minutes until I was sure Kurama was asleep. Then, I stood up from our spot under the tree, turned my back to him, and started to walk away.
Love was a scar much worse than one made by any sword. A scar of the soul would never heal. However, unlike a scar of the body, a scar of the soul was not visible.
Wherever I went, no one would have to know about this. Not even I would have to remember the joy and pain Kurama gave me.
I was sure Kurama would not feel pained. I doubted if he'd even remember me in the morning . . .

"Hiei . . . you're just like ice . . . just with a little flame trying to melt its way outside. You're . . . a . . . fire apparition . . . right? I knew it. You had something to do with fire, you told me so. You used fire . . . your . . . dragon . . . be careful, Hiei . . . you can't let it take you without telling Yukina about you first," Kurama mumbled in his sleep, unaware that Hiei was already long gone by now.
(Kurama's Dream . . .)
"Hiei! Hiei!" I called as I ran up to the little fire apparition who was making his was down the street.
Hiei glanced over at me for a short time before turning his head to look forward again.
"Hey, fox," he said casually. I could detect nervousness in his voice. It pleased me in a strange way to hear it, and see it, because he looked almost as though he was . . .
"Hiei, are you- . . . BLUSHING!?" I asked in shock. Why would Hiei be blushing? I didn't understand.
"Huh? No!" he snarled at me, acting like I was an idiot. Maybe I was.
"Oh, sorry, my mistake I guess," I said, not totally convinced that it really was.
I wondered, what would cause Hiei to blush?
*
"Hiei, I love you!" I cried out happily as I gave him a big, affectionate hug.
"Cut it out, Love Cookie," Hiei replied, laughing, and returning the hug.
"Never! I love you far too much to keep my hands off of you . . ."
"How much do you love me, love?"
"A lot."
"How much?" Hiei asked again, pushing down on Yusuke's bed.
"I- . . . I'm . . . not sure Hiei," I answered truthfully, confusion filling my mind. How could I measure what I felt for Hiei? I knew hardly anything about him. What did I have to base my feelings off of? Was it just . . . a bad case of lust?
"What does that mean? It sure didn't sounds good," Hiei said told me, sounding a little worried, as he crawled on the bed, putting his legs on either side of me.
"Don't ask me. I don't know anything anyway," I replied with a happy laugh. It was best not to ruin things between Hiei and I. When I got my memories, the old Kurama would be happier if Hiei was with him, I was sure of that.

(Kurama's POV)
Suddenly, I felt lonely. The presence of that other was gone. I hope he'd come back soon. It was getting awfully cold out and I couldn't help but feel scared being out here all alone. But, I had the sad feeling . . . that my boyfriend wouldn't be back until I returned to who I used to be.
::Kurama . . .:: I heard a voice call to me from within my mind. I listened closely, hoping it belonged to Hiei. But it didn't . . . it did not sound familiar at all.
::What do you want?:: I asked it, firmly and harshly.
::Don't worry, I'm not an enemy, I'm you,:: it told me.
::W-what?:: I question, feeling very confused. I'd never heard this voice before . . . and I was certainly sure it was not my own.
::I'm the former you I should say. I've been looking over you for the past day, I hoped this problem would go away on its own, but it has not. I'm beginning to become worried. I've been trying, but I have not been able to break the spell that has been cast over you, keeping you from realizing your past and everyone in it. It is getting more serious now, more than a few cuts and scrapes . . . Hiei's gone, Shuichi.::
::I know,:: I said, fighting back the tears.
::We need to get him back.::
::But-! But how!?::
::Regain your memory . . .::
::How can I regain my memory if the one I want to remember isn't there to help me? Hiei can't help me!::
::Shuichi, do not get upset. It doesn't suit you,:: he said, giving me an understanding laugh.
Somehow, I could conjure up a picture of the one speaking to me . . . he was a tall, beautiful creature, with long silver hair, yellow eyes, and fox- like ears and a tail.
:: . . . Will you at least help me?"
::Of course . . . I love Hiei too. I want him back just as much as you do.::
::Thank you, Kurama.::

O.O What a weird chapter. Well, because that chapter was partially pointless, I posted it sooner. *falls over* Anyway, it was very serious . . . X.X sort of. Well, that whole dream thing may have importance later. Oh well. Next chapter, I will return to the funny! So do not fret! This chapter just came out of nowhere! Please Review!
