Hey! Um...Thanks for the reviews. Chapter 8: Why?

(ON TO THE STORY)

"Hiei? Do you remember anything?" Kurama asked one day. It was a picnic. Miya and Kurama dragged him to it.

"No. Now quit asking me!" Hiei roared. "Gomen. I...." Hiei apologized.

"Hiei, please, eat something." Miya begged.

"No. Why can't all of you leave me be for once?!" Hiei asked. "Why must I constantly be watched and inquired about? WHY?!" Hiei roared.

"Does it matter?" Miya asked.

"YES!"

By then, everyone was looking at Hiei. "Everything alright?" Yusuke asked.

"NO!" Hiei yelled. Within seconds, Hiei was gone in a sudden displacement of air. "I see he still remembers his powers at least." Kurama mused.

"Idiot!" Miya seethed under her breath.

"Just trying to lighten the atmosphere." Kurama replied.

"He could go on a killing rampage!!!" Miya screamed. "I will NOT allow such a thing!"

"True. But...what can we do to stop him? He was already angry at everyone, and now he is pissed at the person he lost his memory for." Yusuke voiced.

Miya sank to her knees. Yusuke was right. She punched the ground in frustration. She couldn't just let it all happen!

"And how do you suggest we get him...?" Kuwabara asked.

"I don't know. For once I don't know." Miya said. She really didn't care about any of their plans. She'd get him back herself.

"You don't always have to know everything." Kurama said.

"Alright. But I am looking for Hiei. And don't try to stop me!" Miya resolved. "That's fine....Not like we will stop you." Kuwabara pointed out.

"Fine. I'll start with getting one of my contacts on the job." Miya stated, concentrating on which one to use.

Miya flipped open her cell phone. "Hey, Hotaru? Yeah...Uh huh....sure......alright....."

"She said she'd be glad to interrupt our little 'meeting' So...hope you don't mind?" Miya asked.

"Not at all...I'm sure..." Kurama spoke for everyone.

"No....I don't care..." Yusuke said even though it didn't matter.

"So...how long will it take her to get here?" Kuwabara asked suddenly. "Is she cute?!" He asked.

"Baka...I couldn't possibly be interested in someone as trivial as you!" A girl said.

"Hotaru! So nice of you to make it." Miya said sarcastically.

"Pleasure's all mine." Hotaru bowed dryly. "So...why did you call me? Surely it must be a very pressing matter if you contact me..." Hotaru said slowly.

"My friend is missing...He's not...normal..." Miya tried to explain.

"I see...I'll need to know everything about him...immediately." Hotaru demanded calmly.

After a very short description of Hiei...Hotaru went off to find him.

Kurama raised an eyebrow. "What did she mean by, 'this is too easy.'?" He asked Miya.

"You didn't know?" Miya asked incredulously.

"Um...Apparently not." Yusuke said dryly.

Miya sighed. "Hotaru is a fire demon. She works for Mukuro, so she has met Hiei once before. I would suppose, anyway."

Yusuke's jaw hit the floor. "You're joking, correct?" Kurama asked.

Miya shook her head. What was there to joke of?

"Miya....I found him...But he isn't....right in the head...so to speak..." Hotaru concluded.

Miya turned around. "Oh...I see..Where is he currently?"

"In the Makai...picking a fight to the death...I would suppose.." Hotaru said, unabashed.

"And you didn't stop him?" Miya yelled, outraged.

"Don't think for even a second I didn't try! I couldn't even get close enough." Hotaru mumbled.

"WE HAVE TO STOP HIM!" Yusuke yelled.

"Why are you yelling at ME?! I, after all, don't have to help the likes of you!" Hotaru yelled.

"Hotaru, Yusuke, shut up!" Miya yelled.
