I'M UPDATING! AGAIN! WOO! Well, anyway, here is chapter 17 to my little
fanfic of strangeitude! ^_^ I hope you enjoy it!
^*^*^
(Yoko Kurama's POV)
Oh how stupid Shuichi was when he didn't remember anything. Letting me have Hiei every other weekend? WOW! SO much more time than I would get anyway! But in any matter . . . how I couldn't wait to dig into that beautiful little hunk of a demon! Thank beer my human half lost his memory and seduced Hiei! Now I could take advantage of this!
::Hey, Shuichi,:: I started kindly, hugging him back.
::Yes?::
::Let's go get your memory back so I can spend that EXCITING weekend with our sweet fire apparition!::
::Alright, what's the plan?!:: he asked, taking a step back from me and returning to his on thoughts, regaining his consciousness.
::Well, I've made a list, HENCE IT!. . . #1: You must find Yusuke. #2: Regain your memory. #3: Find Hiei. #4: Recover any injuries you pick up along the way. #5: Let me take over!::
::Do I need to become sexier and make Hiei jealous too? For some reason it seems like the right thing to do.::
::. . . Umm . . . actually, that might help,:: I said, beginning to conjure up my new plan, it's soul purpose to get Hiei back. ::We're going to jump over to #4! Without Hiei, there's not much we can do. So, after we locate him, you make yourself seem sexier and then you and I will start flirting with each other to make him jealous!:: It was a brilliant plan!
::I LOVE IT! But, you're inside my mind . . . will Hiei even care?:: Shuichi asked, looking worried that this plan may not work.
::STUPID SHUICHI!! Didn't you know? Hiei can READ minds! We'll just lure him into our mental conversation/flirting and our mental selves (like we are now) will make him totally jealous!::
::Good idea! Besides, you're cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!:: he chuckled, cuddling me in a friendly was, as I did, I knew we didn't make it out to mean anything, Hiei was the only thing we both wanted . . . I wanted Hiei SO BAD!!! Hiei . . . so cute and drool provoking. His body was perfection in everyway! Especially those shoulders of his . . . so strong and yet small. Hiei's scent was lovely too (sort of like the first smoke of a campfire in the early morning, mixed with that smell of pancakes cooking, and the tree smell . . . hmm . . . I needed to go camping . . . with Hiei . . . and pancakes . . . and fire . . . and fiery passion . . . and . . . syrup.) Something that should be bottled and sold in a store . . . I would buy some and make sure it smelled of Hiei all over my human part's room. Of course, this may be able to be achieved in other ways . . . like to actually have Hiei in there, a lot. Hmm . . . I wonder if I am becoming obsessed.
::Yes. Now, let's go find Hiei!:: I let go of the boy and let him slip back into his normal state.
(Shuichi's POV)
::Alright! Finally we'll get to find our Hiei! Hey, I was just thinking, have you ever noticed the way Hiei smells?:: I asked, starry eyed at the thought.
::Yes! It's HEAVENLY isn't it!:: he replied, sounding as though he was getting very excited.
::Yeah . . . well, let's go!::
With that, our mental connection closed and I started to walk. I wondered where to start first. Then it hit me. I didn't remember who I was. So, I didn't remember my childhood. Which meant that I didn't remember where I grew up. Which also meant, that, I had no clue where I was.
I inhaled deeply in frustration when- . . . hey! I could pick up Hiei's scent!
I quickly headed in the direction of the smell!
"Hiei, here I come!!"
(Hiei's POV)
"Hi . . ." I sighed sadly as I entered the house and casually took a seat on her sofa.
"What makes you think you can just sit down!? AND WHERE'S MY SON!?" Shiori yelled in my face.
I wiped my face clean of her overprotecting-mother-spit, then I scowled.
"I'm hiding from your son so I decided to hide in his house so he couldn't find me." My plan was starting to sound a little stupid.
"Why are you hiding from him?" she asked, giving me a concerned look.
"Because, he has been acting really- . . . perverted. And it's been getting to me because ever since he lost his memory he's- . . . just not the same person," I explained to her. I was starting to feel sad. I knew if I was ever going to see Kurama again, he had to be who he used to be. However, if Kurama was who he used to me . . . he wouldn't . . . he wouldn't . . . love me anymore. It would hurt too. If I told the normal Kurama I loved him, he wouldn't get mad or be mean . . . but he'd get that look. He would get that terrible look of pity as he rejected me.
"He lost his memory?"
With that question, I began to tell Shiori the story of what had happened since Kurama woke up for the first time yesterday morning in his room. I didn't leave a thing out either. And, surprisingly, she didn't seem to mind so much. Especially when I explained to her that Kurama and I weren't married. While I was at it, I explained about her son being a demon and why I really called him Kurama. (Not Curama, or Kurama, mean Kind Understanding Radiant Adorable Magnificent Achievement). She took it all really well, she didn't seem to believe me at first, but I tried my best to sound convincing. Shiori finally bought it when I was able to set a fire in fireplace, without matches. I guess I knew why Kurama liked this woman so much. She was . . . pretty nice to talk to. ". . . And so I left Kurama because he was too . . . out of character." ((Hiei: More than normal for one of YOUR fanfics *glares at Yugijouoh* YOU RUIN MY FOX SO! HE USED TO BE RESPECTABLE! NOW EVERYONE WHO READS THIS IS HAVING BAD, NAUGHTY, KURAMA THOUGHTS! *I'M* THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HAVE THOSE! Yugijouoh: . Stop your whining. He has good reason to act strangely. Hiei: Like WHAT? Yugijouoh: Because, when stripped of his personality, Kurama's utter and uncontrollable attraction for you comes out to its fullest because it has been suppressed for so long! Hiei: . . *blushes* oh.)) "I love him though . . . so, don't tell Kurama any of this when he comes back here. I'd rather not . . . try and extend our relationship to when he's better."
"I think you should."
"W- . . . what?" I asked, shocked at what she had said.
"If you love my son, you should let him know it. After getting to know you myself, I have a feeling that my son will still love you no matter what. Love is much more than falling in love with personality, Hiei. It's a person's heart you fall in love with. And no bump on the head can change a person's- . . . demon's . . . heart," Shiori said to me kindly, giving an almost Kurama-like smile to me. So that's where he got it.
I hesitated. She was being so nice to me! But not like a friend . . . not like a lover . . . this was all so new. What was she? I mean, sure, she was a human but- . . . maybe this was what a mother was. Who cares if she didn't give birth to me! She listened to me and wanted nothing in return! She didn't care what I thought of her . . . but she helped anyway. I would have to ask Kurama if I could call her mother.
"Hey . . . umm . . . when Kurama gets his memory back, if and when we get back together . . . can I live here?" I asked, giving the woman a smile . . . I would regret that later.
"Where would you sleep?" she asked, raising a suspicious eyebrow at me.
"With Kura- . . ." I stopped. I better not finish that. Mother's don't like the thought of their son's sleeping with/having sex with scary fire demon's in their own homes. At least I assumed so. But hey! Shiori was a great woman! "With Kurama of course!"
". . . . . . . . . . . I'll think about it."
"THANK YOU!" I yelled out. A strange emotion filled me. I liked her . . . she was the mother I never had. I had to give the woman a hug!
^*^*^
I'm sorry that chapter was short. It didn't explain much of anything either. I was going to introduce the evil dude in this chapter but it didn't happen . . . so probably next chapter. And you'd THINK that finding the bad guy would whined the story down. You thought wrong! Prepare for an EXTREMELY strange batch of new plot twists! PR!
