Here's chapter five! Well, I don't know how long this particular fanfic will be... but I assure you that when it's finished there will be a new one to take its place! LOL.

(Kurama's POV)
A stray thought popped into my mind...
"You're beginning to look like you've got a problem yourself, fox."
"F-fox!?" I cried out, quickly covering my mouth.
This Hiei had no idea about my being a kitsune...! So why had he...?
How... suspicious....
(Hiff Clanger's POV)
After entering the room, I gestured for the boy to take a seat. I then took out my pad of paper, my trusty pen with the little purple dots on it, and sat down in a chair across from him.
I was going to try and give the boy a speedy look over. I had a huge family reunion taking place tonight! My father, Old Man Jack, was coming! I hadn't seen or spoken to him ever since my plowing accident, and I renounced all plowing. Not to mention my sister was coming, even her daughter... Julie. And it was then that I would finally announce my engagement to Liché....
I was so nervous....
"So, tell me Hiei. What's your relationship with that man out there, Minamino-san?"
"Who?"
"Umm... never mind. So, in your own words, tell me what happened."
"Happened...?"
"Yes. With the car accident you were in."
"I... don't remember that."
"Then what's the FIRST thing you remember...?"
The boy cocked his head in a cute manner, attempting to hide the soft blush that had made its way onto his cheeks.
"Kurama," he answered, shyly.
I raised my eyebrow a bit. The boy's behavior was a little odd. Someone with amnesia probably wouldn't act this differently from normal (Minamino- san had told me about the boy's previous personality). Most likely—as all the TV shows would imply—the person would act and talk the same way, only without knowing stuff.
This, of course, led me to believe...
"So you really like Kurama, don't you?"
...that this boy was faking amnesia...
"...Yes... a lot."
...to get Minamino-san's attention....
Besides, amnesia was extremely RARE!
"All right! We're done here. You may go back and join—"
I looked up to the see the boy was already gone, and had attached himself to Kurama's arm.
Yes, I was pretty confident in my diagnosis.
"Minamino-san! May I talk to you... alone... please?"
The boy briefly whispered something to Hiei, causing the smaller boy to release him. Kurama then walked over to me.
"Yes, doctor?"
"Hiei's faking."
"WHA-- ... What?" he asked, quietly.
"He doesn't really have amnesia."
Kurama began to blush, intensely.
"H-how do you... know...?"
"Judging from my observations, he's just doing this to get attention—your attention, more accurately."
Kurama looked embarrassed beyond anything I'd ever seen.
"I guess that... that might make sense...." He stated, looking thoughtful.
"I think the best way to deal with this is to somehow convince him that you'd like it a lot more if he were back to normal. Perhaps show affection towards him when he DOES do something as though he didn't have amnesia. You know..."
"Yes, I think I understand doctor.... I just... I can't believe Hiei would really want attention this much."
"Ah, don't worry about it. He'll come around I'm sure. But just play along for a while until he's ready to go back to normal..."
"All right, doctor...."
(Hiei's POV)
I doubted that doctor's capability.... He hadn't spent much time with me... in fact, he was spending more time with my Kurama explaining what he observed than he did actually observing!
I wondered what he might be saying. I kept my ears away though. Kurama had promised me that we would do something special if I didn't—WAIT! He promised me that before! Sneaky...
"So, Hiei, are you ready to go...?"
"I've been ready since we got here..." I pouted, slowly reaching out for his hand.
Unlike all the times before, Kurama took my hand without the slightest bit of hesitation... and the look on his face was so reassuring, filled with love.
I sighed, happily wrapping my arm around him.
"So, what are we going to do?" I chirped, snuggling my head against Kurama's shoulder.
"Well, Hiei, we're going to do the thing you loved to do most! Do you remember what that is...?"
"No..." I answered, curiously tilting my head.
"Well, before you got amnesia you had an odd obsession with Kari Kangaroo."
"Kari... Kangaroo?"
"Yes. It's a line of kangaroo themed products. It became widely popular around 1980 due to its clever sayings and fashionable merchandise—despite the kangaroo's lack of basic cuteness—and today still has a nicely sized following of fans. You're one of them."
"...Really...?" I asked, a little surprised.
I had an obsession with a kangaroo? ((A/N: XD))
"Yep... And every year you would get me, or someone else to take you to the Kari Kangaroo 'headquarters', and get your picture taken."
"...Oh," I said, letting my other obsession—besides Kurama—sink in.
Kari Kangaroo, I sort of liked the sound of that.
"So, Hiei, I figured we'd go get your picture taken with Kari."
(Kurama's POV)
A devilish smile came over my face. The normal Hiei would not stand for getting his picture taken with a person in an oversized kangaroo costume. And if he was really and truly desperate for attention, this would surely gage how intensely. (And I'd get a picture of Hiei with Kari Kangaroo!)
"Okay!" Hiei agreed happily, nodding with a huge grin on his face.
Poor Hiei... he really was desperate.

Alright, now I know what you're thinking. HIEI REALLY DOES HAVE AMNESIA. He is NOT faking. LOL. Isn't it sad? XX
SPEAKING OF SAD!
I'm going to be gone for a while... and unable to update for about... two weeks. I hope such a long wait won't steer you away from my stuff forever. T.T When I get back, I promise to make a nice, big update!
