Alright, here it is, finally, chapter 3! ^-^ Anyway, here comes one of my
rare reviewer replies for chapter 2! YAY! And if I missed you I'm sorry!
(You probably reviewed after I wrote this)
Yukii- HI! Yes, I know. I'm pretty sure it won't be as long as Don't Ask Me was. (It was my longest fanfic x.x it usually doesn't go beyond 13 or 14) Anyway, I hope this fanfic doesn't get too weird, LOL. You have no idea what I have in store -.-...Oh dear...
Sakura Butterfly- ^_^- IT WAS!? *Breaks down crying and hugs you* THANK YOU! *Hugs more* And I didn't update soon!! X.X I'm SORRY! *Huggles more* o.o *gets strange looks so stops hugging* Ahem, anyway, thank you! Glad you liked that chapter and I hope this one is good too!
Katyfoxdemon2- I...know...you. LOL Anyway, thanks a lot! And the only other thing I have to say to you is...UPDATE! And keep on writing yourself! ^.~
Saelbu- Dramatic! I'm a VERY, VERY, VERY *DRAMATIC* person! ...VERY! I'm SO dramatic it's almost boring! *Cries* -.- Anyhew, I'm glad you found the ending to chapter 2...dramatic! ^_^ And I'm very happy that you liked the chapter. ^^;;; That's always a good sign! ^-^-
Alexandrayea Nightblood- *CRY*!? WOW! *Totally surprised look on face* I'm SHOCKED!!! Even if it was ALMOST cry. ALMOST! Well, I guess I'm overreacting...-.- I'm being...DRAMATIC! -.-;; Ahem. My fanfics are usually too happy for anyone to cry or almost cry unless it's because it's SO damn sappy or cute...which... Oh never mind! I'll see ya later! ^-^
Amaramia- Plot? *Bursts out laughing* ....o.o oh, sorry. The plot flew away from me a long time ago . *has no patience whatsoever* but yes, I guess there will sort of be a plot. It'll get a little strange, don't doubt that, but I plan to actually keep everyone in character this time! (Mostly, anyway... I'm going to have little end side stories where everyone is OOC but that won't really have to do with the story...) Oh yes! I guess (I guess, HAHA! I WROTE THIS! -.-;;;) Hiei wasn't going to tell Kurama for fear of, as you said, history repeating itself. The ending of Don't Ask Me was a little vague, but basically, Hiei *didn't* save Kurama. He took one hit and was knocked out, but Yusuke and the others were the ones who actually got rid of Rando. So, for fear of losing someone so close to him, he figured it would be best to not be close. (if that makes sense) BUT, this is *ME* we're talking about! HAHAHA! And I would *NEVER* let Hiei get away with something like that! BWAHAHA!!
Rebekah- o.o it's spooky...I DID! AHHH!!! -.-;; Ahem, anyway, enjoy! ^-^-
jus Kita- You mean...I actually have the power to inflect TORTURE!? O.O! COOL!!!! I've always wanted this! *is deeply disturbed* BWAHAHA! So, just with knowing this, I will only update once a month and chapters will all be a paragraph long! (Scary music plays) I'm just kidding ....Ahem. Anyway, I'll do my best to update as soon as I can! ^-^- I'm always writing it seems! O.o;;
RaineKitsune- Dying, huh? *Evil smile* o.o umm *smiles kindly* well, here you go! A new chapter! And I'll try and make it more—I mean...less suspenseful. *Evil smile again*
Koritsune Dragonrider- O.O Damn...I'm feeling a power rush. Teeheehee... yes...yes...BEG!!!! -.-;;; Oh what am I saying? I'll update anyway... . Anyway, I'm glad you like it! And you said *please*! ^-^ That's a HUGE plus! (Towards what...?)
Kuramasgurl13- W-was? O.O...Are you...psychic!? O.O!!!! Cool! So, you could like...o.o write the chapters FOR me!? ^____^! -.-;; Ahem, anyway, I know what you mean. ^_^- Thanks!
Fox gal- BWA HAHAHAHAHA!!!! -.- Don't worry, don't worry. ^-^- They do, they do! ^-^- Oh yes SKWEE!............o.o...
Star Light Shadow- *Freaks out and hides, throwing a walkie-talkie at you so she can speak to you* Whoa, don't get upset now! ^^;; I could never leave it off at such a point and not have Kurama and Hiei make out...up. Ahem. Anyway, making up will not be the problem! ^-^ Hiei and Kurama will totally admit their feelings for each other and will live happily ever after...or will they!? BWAHA! Anyway, sorry to say, but the making out won't happen for a little while probably (yeah right...)...Kurama has some...convincing to do *Snickers* Anyhew, here's the chapter! ^^-
Shippo-chan4- Stupid schedules...they ruin my REAL schedules! Which are much more important! *Pouts* -.- Ahem. Oh, and here! *Throws you someone who has been threatened personally by the authoress to be super protective of you* o.o;; you may return them at anytime.
Tokyo-Sama- *Starts walking around, dragging you with her* I know, aren't they horrible? Why do I...even...have them? Hmm...I will have to think! And you know what always makes me think better? PACING! *Paces, dragging you with her*
Lyn/Lin- Torture=Good? This is a totally new concept for me... *looks up torture in the dictionary* ........................................................................The dictionary is wrong! O.O!
Freakling- No worries my friend *pats you on the back* NOOOOOOO worries. *Chuckles* If you've read even two of my fanfics you know by now that Kurama will love Hiei back BWAHA!
Blkwidow77- Oh great, now look what you did... . you made me INSANE!!! Just for that I'm going to update! (?)
Youkai Master Kurama- THE DICTIONARY IS WRONG I TELL YOU!.......Ahem, anyhew, I am evil, aren't I? ^-^- It's a great life, though, I tell ya! Speaking of evil.... the play went well. LOL (I hate being in plays T.T) ^- ^ Anyhew, thanks!
Mamiyatan- Is...crying the stupid part? *Gets really worried* Because I cry a lot too! And I probably do a lot of really stupid things! S- so...we're...similar!? ^__^ WEE! Nice to meet you fellow unintelligent! -.-... Ahem. ^-^ I'm glad you like this fanfic!
Curry- ...Mmmm...curry...O.O huh? OH! Yes, yes, exactly! Sort of *laughs manically* Ahem. This fanfic will probably take a turn you're not expecting, although, now that I've said that, you probably expect it. So, YES! Go with what you're thinking! O.o Sorry, I don't make sense. LOL
^*^*^
I loved him...? That was...a lot different an answer than I expected. I had only had amnesia for a little over a day, after all. So, loving Hiei was the natural thing to do? Had I always loved him? Maybe I had. Thinking about it really cleared things up. In my right state of mind, Hiei was my friend...and I didn't think about him as a lover because I knew who he was, I knew how he acted, and I knew that being more to him was too much, and that he probably would reject me. But if I didn't know him...if I had just met him...sure, I'd probably pursue some sort of relationship with him. And now, knowing him, I...I loved him. He was the most important soul to my heart...and he always had been, of course... But everything wasn't going to be as happy as it sounded. Hiei was hurt, because of me. It wasn't really my fault, but I was at least the cause so I had some obligation to resolve it. I needed to let Hiei know that I still cared about him! Although....
::Umm...When Hiei said I loved him, did he sort of imply that he feels the same? I really need to know...::
::HAHAHA! Of course! SO YOU BETTER HURRY AND GET BACK TOGETHER WITH HIM! NOW! GO!::
::...Why do you want me to rush all of the sudden?:: I asked, becoming suspicious.
::N-no reason....:: He was guilty. But I didn't have time to think of why or of what. I had to find Hiei!
(Hiei's POV)
I was an idiot! IDIOT! What the hell had I done that for!? Why did I tell him...? He wasn't supposed to know. My emotions had gotten the better of me and forced me to tell him. But still...I couldn't be with him. I couldn't get attached to him anymore than I already was!
It was at that moment that I saw him looking around, surely for me. Damn it. I hid out of sight behind a tree, which totally would have worked if Kurama hadn't sneaked over to the same side of the tree I was hiding at.
"Please, don't run," he plead, inching closer to me as though I were a scared dog that might lash out and attack if the wrong move was made.
"I won't," I agreed, relaxing against the tree. I was still mad at myself...but I guess Kurama deserved to know why I was acting this way.
"Great," he sighed, moving over closer to me to stand by my side. "Are you alright...?" he asked, looking away from me.
I couldn't believe how I had acted. This was the reason I didn't want Kurama to know in the first place! I had cried...so...Kurama's concern was expected.
"I am," I answered quickly, folding my arms as I gave the fox my normal, bored expression.
"I'm glad to hear that," he sighed, turning to me again.
"Why did you come after me...?" I asked sadly, looking at the ground. I was waiting for his reaction. What would he say to it? Did he still love me? Or...did he simply wish to remain friends?
"I came...to give you my apology," he said glumly. I quickly looked over to him, seeing that he was giving me a sorry smile. No.... "I'm sorry... I didn't realize it before, that I loved you. And I still do, Hiei..." I felt relieved, but saddened at the same time. I was happy to hear he still felt the same, that someone could actually care for me. It wasn't all a lie. But, I didn't want to be weak again. I didn't want to become attached because I didn't want to lose him. So it was selfish...! I didn't want to have to go through that again!
"And I love you, fox," I said softly. He smiled at me, seeming incredibly happy. Kurama gently reached out for my hand, taking it in his for only moments before I jerked it away. "But I can't," I said sadly, looking him straight in the eye before turning my back and walking away. I had to resist the urge to take him back.... I had to be strong and independent. I didn't want to rely on him, because he'd have to do the same for me, and I wasn't strong enough. I never thought there would come a time when I came across something I simply couldn't handle. This was it, though. Love was a promise too heavy for me to carry.
(Kurama's POV)
What...?
::This is not what was supposed to happen!:: I mentally cried, starting to become very upset.
::Shut up! You're just too soft!:: my other scolded, sounding very displeased with something. ::You're not holding up your end of the bargain, Shuichi!::
All of the sudden, I felt my body start to change as my youko side took control...
**Yoko Kurama's POV**
::What's the big idea!?:: Shuichi asked. ::We're in the middle of...public! AND YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE THE NORMAL PUBLIC! We need to change back!::
::NO! Tell me, is it Saturday!?:: I asked as I started to walk after Hiei, not running, but at a fast pace.
::Well, yes, but I hardly see what that has to do with...::
"*HIEI!*" I yelled as I finally caught up to him and grabbed onto his shoulders firmly.
He slowly turned around to look at me, he was about to pull away until he knew exactly who it was he was dealing with...
"Y-Y...KuraAHH!!" he cried as I tackled him to the ground.
"Now, what's this I hear about not being able to be with me?" I asked mockingly as I looked the little demon straight in the eye. He looked a little frightened...that was good.
"Look here! Just leave me alone, alright! I have good reasons for not wanting to be with you so lay off!"
"No, no...that answer won't do at all..." I slurred, leaning down to nibble at his neck. He tried to get away from me, but sadly, I was bigger than he was, and on top of him. And when one is bigger and on top, and the two are pretty equal in strength, the one on bottom has little hopes of escape. I had learned this well over the years...
"There are people around idiot!" he yelled, struggling still.
"Stop protesting so much or you'll wear yourself out! And we both know you need to save your energy for other things..." I laughed, continuing to kiss and bite at his neck.
"STOP!!!" he screamed, right in my highly sensitive ear.
"...That hurt Hiei. That really hurt..." I sighed, rubbing my ear into Hiei's chest, trying to sooth it. "For that you need to be punished..." I said in an evil tone, looking up at Hiei with a devilish smile. Hiei looked stressed, confused, and frightened...yessssss...that's why I loved him. "Don't worry, Hiei...I'll let you have your 'Love Cookie' back soon. But every other weekend you get nothing but your Fox Cookie!" I laughed to myself as I grabbed onto Hiei's wrists and then got myself up. "Hmm...you better not even try to run." To be safe, I got out my emergency set of handcuffs and had soon secured Hiei's wrist to my own. Of course, we got many strange looks from people, especially me, as I casually lead Hiei back to my human part's home. Oh well. Who cared, I mean really!?
Lucky, the house was unlocked, so I marched right in, pulling a very unhappy Hiei behind me, who was yelling and protesting the whole time.
(Shiori's POV)
I watched in confusion, shock, and slight (very slight) happiness as my son's demon half dragged a poor, handcuffed Hiei upstairs to his room. It told me a couple of things: that they had probably gotten back together, it was the second weekend of the month, and that I should leave the house as soon as possible....

Sorry this chapter was so short! X.X I'm sorry! SORRY! Anyway, please review!
