Here is chapter two! (Isn't that a surprise...it came right after chapter
one! O.O) Anyway, to answer a question for my friend Yukii... I am not
exactly sure how many chapters this one will have either. X.X...The actual
plot of the story wraps itself up rather quickly and everything beyond that
is just random, humorous events (taking place after Kurama and Hiei get
"back together" *laughs evilly because she knows why she put that in
quotes*). Anyway, what that basically means is...the number of chapters will
be decided by the number of things I can think up to have happen! (Feel
free to suggest!) LOL But I doubt there will be as many as Don't Ask
Me...o.o;;; ((I didn't answer the question at all....))
^*^*^
"Hello?"
"Hi."
"Oh, it's you..."
"Yes, it is. So, tell me, what do you know about this whole 'amnesia' thing?"
"Well I only know—I mean...what are you talking about?"
"Yusuke, I know that I had amnesia for while after that car accident!"
"Really? WOW! This is news to me! Well, I think my shoes are burning...gotta go bye!" And he hung up...
Well, that took care of Yusuke, Keiko, Botan and Koenma. No one was talking...to me anyway. What was so bad that they couldn't tell me!? Had I burned down an orphanage!? Did I assassinate Buddha!? Did I hijack the country!?
"Damn it..." I mumbled to myself, looking up from the floor to the window, only to see that none other than Hiei was sitting right outside. Did he intend for me to see him? ....I hoped so. I didn't like the thought of him just watching me...Even though I was pretty sure that that was what he was doing most of the time. But in any matter, I wasn't just going to leave him out there. "Hiei, hello...it's been almost fifteen minutes...what's new?" I asked, opening the window and letting him inside.
"Hello, Fox..." he slurred quietly as he walked into my room. I didn't know why, but I was very frightened of him.... The way he walked and moved sent me the signal that he was incredibly angry.
"Is there anything you want, Hiei?" I asked, moving as far away from him as I could. I felt my heart start to pound as he only moved two steps closer for each I took away, until he had me cornered at the wall, with a menacing glare directed at me.
"Of course," he answered, looking me straight in the eye.
"Well?" I asked, trying to worm away from Hiei, but to no avail.
"Tonight....come visit me. And bring a large quilt," he ordered, still glaring with that fiery contempt. I didn't like the sound of that. It provoked a train of thought that I would rather not have had in my mind.... It was all the possible ways someone could be murdered with a quilt. He could smother me...hang me...
"W-why?" I asked, immediately getting an evil glare in return.
"Don't ask why, just come," he ordered again.
"What if I don't want to...?" I asked nervously, fearing his reaction. He narrowed his eyes at me, and I swore he moved closer to me than he already was. I could feel myself start to sweat as I became more and more frightened of him. Just the look in his eye...
"If you don't want to come to me, I'll come to you."
"What if...I don't want that either?"
"That wasn't an option." What was going on with him? Sure, I was a little flattered that he wanted to see me so bad, but this wasn't really the way to make friends.
"Ummm...Hiei, could I ask you something?"
"You already did, but go ahead," he said, taking a couple steps back.
"When I had amnesia...what happened--?" I was wrong to ask! The moment I said amnesia he lashed out toward me, pushed me against the wall, and looked me in the eye with such loathing....It felt like he was going to kill me!
"*Nothing* happened!!!" he yelled. He then shoved me one last time before leaving through my window.
I just stood there, relatively stupefied.
There was something that happened Hiei didn't want me to know about...! That...I was sure of now...
Perhaps the best way to figure out what no one wanted me to know was to go as close to the source as possible. Hiei wasn't talking. And it didn't seem safe to persist any further with him. So, my best chance at finding the answer...would be to go to the second best.
*
"Am...nesia?"
"Yes. I'm positive I had it, don't try to deny that. Just please, tell me what happened! I must know..."
"Umm...I'm really not supposed to tell you."
"What? Why not!?"
"Because...well, I guess I could tell you why I can't tell you. I wasn't told not to tell that. As soon as Hiei and you got out of the hospital, he got everyone together and...told us not to tell you what happened. And he also said that if we told he wouldn't hesitate to kill us. He was especially willing to do so with you're mother and *me*."
"Why you, Yukina?" I asked, eyes wide and astonished. Hiei...was...even threatening *YUKINA* not to tell me!!! AND EVEN WILLING TO KILL HER!!! Now I had to know!
"For some reason he figured you would be most likely to go to your mother and I for answers..."
"Hiei knows me better than I thought..." I whispered to myself.
"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you," Yukina apologized, giving me a sorry smile. I nodded in acceptance, then waved goodbye to her and left.
With each person I questioned the more eager to find the answer I became. Either Hiei had gone crazy or I had done something awful...or...both...
Well, now it was probably time to try Kuwabara.
*
"Hiei? Secret threat meeting? Amnesia? I don't know what you're talking about!" Kuwabara said nervously after I had entered his room and begun to question him.
"Fine...if you cannot answer those things for me...then just answer this: did I do anything back then...to make Hiei dislike me?" I asked sadly. "I'm afraid that maybe I hurt him, and that's what was causing him to be so mean to me lately... So, did I? Please, tell me..."
"Umm...I guess you sort of did," he answered hesitantly.
My heart sank as I found myself impossibly wanting to apologize for whatever it may have been.
"Maybe later," I whispered to myself. If anything, I at least wanted to see Hiei again...I needed to see exactly how mad at me he was. "Goodbye Kuwabara! I really need to go speak with Hiei, now. I must get to the bottom of this, you know..."
"Hey Kurama, why do you want to know what happened so badly? I mean, you won't remember it anyway."
"Because Hiei's my...friend, Kuwabara," I said. "He saved my life...and after that I was really looking forward to being very...close with him. If there's something keeping that from happening that I don't know about, then I want to get rid of that," I explained, feeling my cheeks become a little warm. I felt strange... Oh crap! I was beginning to think a little too much about Hiei! Oh well, it would probably vanish in an hour or so... "See you later, Kuwabara!" I called, leaving his room.
(Hiei's POV)
"You know you're dead," I said firmly, extending my hand out and placing it on Kuwabara's shoulder.
"I...I didn't say anything! He's the one who did all the talking!" he protested, moving a little away from me and turning around.
"OKAY, FINE DAMN IT!" I yelled. "This all...ISN'T WORKING! From now on you are not aloud to talk to him, period! Spread the word!" I demanded.
"HEY! Hold it, hold it, shrimp! That isn't fair! Kurama's our friend so we have the right to talk to him all we want! And I suggest that you just come right out and tell him what happened yourself before the poor guy goes crazy or gets depressed or becomes a little TOO worried about you!"
I growled at him. How dare he suggest things like that to me...
"I will *never* tell him! And neither will you, okay! Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go fix what you ruined!" I yelled as I left Kuwabara's room (I had been hiding in there while Kurama was visiting).
Hearing him talk like he did almost changed my mind about telling him. He cared about me...he said he did. He wanted to be close...and so did I. But I just couldn't! Not after what had happened! Back when we were together, I had almost lost him far too many times! And in the end I couldn't even defeat Rando...I had become too weak. And I was never going to become that way ever again.
I looked up, finding myself to have wandered onto a sidewalk along the street. Luckily there weren't TOO many people around. But there were some. I would have to live with it...
(Kurama's POV)
"Hiei! Hiei!" I called as I ran up to the little fire apparition who was making his way 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?
"Speaking of mistakes, Kurama," he started, turning to glare at me. "I don't want you going around asking people about what happened anymore."
"So you admit it, something *did* happen!" I cried, giving him a knowing smirk.
"No, nothing did. But, nevertheless, I don't want you to... in fact, it's best you don't talk to them at all," he said, giving me a very serious expression.
"How dare you, Hiei!? I can talk to them if I want to! And further more, there must be something you don't want me to know! But I have to know, Hiei! I want to be friends again!" Just as I was about to start yelling at him some more, he reached out and grabbed my shirt by the collar, forcefully pulling me behind a building, away from all the other people. I started to become nervous again. Hiei looked me straight in the eye, and, by this time, had me pushed up against the wall. What was he going to do...? Try and kill me!? "H-Hiei...don't--!"
"YOU LOVED ME!" he cried, grabbing onto my shoulders tightly as his eyes watered and soon, tears began falling from his eyes, sending a mess of little black jewels to ground below us.
I could only stand there in shock. It seemed like it lasted a lot longer than it did, but either way, Hiei had soon run off in the blink of an eye.
"L-loved?"
^*^*^
Oh god, ain't I just the queen of bad chapter endings! ^-^ LOL ...Anyway, I'm sorry to totally torture you (like you care that much to see it as torture, LOL) but it may be a while for me to update everything. (STUPID PLAY!! .) But hopefully I'll get everything back and track soon and will shower you all with updates (if it matters *sobs*). ^-^ WEE! Well, I hoped you liked this chapter. And I know, I told you the plot dealie would fix itself out early. But...there's still lots of fun ahead!
^*^*^
