Whee! This update was faster than expected. Once again- THANK YOU, YOU WONDERFUL REVIEWERS!!!!! I'm so happy! I'm glad you all like my story!! In that case, I'll stop babbling and get right to it, as soon as the muse does the disclaimer.
Scribble: We don't own YYH. Luckily, no one was desperate for spare change, so we weren't sued.
Me: One more note- there will be slight Kuwabara bashing because of Hiei's nature. Please, Kuwabara fans don't scream at me- I actually like Kuwabara, contrary to what everyone seems to think. I almost cried when Toguro tried to kill him.
When Will You Remember?
Kurama's POV:
I woke up that morning to find there was someone next to me. I nearly jumped out of bed in panic when I remembered it was just Hiei. However, I had moved around so much that Hiei woke up anyway with a confused, "Hn?"
Some things never change.
I was probably going to have a heart attack before this was over; so the sooner Hiei remembered everything, the better. "Hiei, we're going to a friends house today."
"Your friends?" Hiei asked.
"Both our friends- Yusuke and Kuwabara. They're going to help us. I had called them yesterday and planned to meet today."
Soon were both ready and going to Yusuke's house. Yusuke answered the door, and led us to his room, past his mom who was asleep (or rather, had passed out) on the couch. Kuwabara was waiting for us in Yusuke's room. As soon as Hiei walked in, Kuwabara said, "Aw not that he's not all evil and angry-looking, he's kinda cute."
Hiei cocked is head and said, "Thanks, I guess, but you don't look all evil and angry, and you're not cute."
I slapped my hand on my forehead. Why did things like this always happen to me? Kuwabara was pissed off now. "Hey, you can't make fun of me, you shrimp."
"So what if I'm small, you probably trip over your own feet all the time!"
"That does it!" Kuwabara ran at him to punch him, but Hiei dodged easily. "Hey, I can run fast!"
"You could always ran very fast, Hiei," I reminded him. Hiei started to ran around the room, practically on the walls, yelling, "I bet you can't catch me, you stupid oaf!" which made Kuwabara chase him, trying to hit him or something.
Some things really never change.
I decided to have a somewhat intelligent conversation with Yusuke. "What do you think we should do about this?"
"I'm not-" just then Hiei started yelling, "Ha ha, told you that you'd probably trip over your own feet, you baka!"
"Stop calling me that!"
"Baka, baka, baka!" Hiei chanted.
Kuwabara groaned. "Even when he's acts like a little kid, he STILL insults me!"
Yusuke couldn't finish his sentence, and instead just burst out into laughter. "What do you expect, Kuwabara? He's telling the truth!"
"Shut up, Urameshi!" Just then a lamp flew at Kuwabara's head, and just missed him. Hiei looked disappointed. "I'll get you next time!" he yelled, and Kuwabara continued chasing him.
I decided to ignore them. I turned back to Yusuke, who was calming down. "Well?"
He shook his head. "I don't know what to tell you. Any idea on how to cure amnesia?"
"Things that are familiar help."
"Well, maybe if you take him Makai, he'd remember some things."
"That's a good idea," I said, watching as Hiei still ran circles around poor Kuwabara, who was still getting insulted. "Come on, Hiei, we have to leave."
"Where are we going?"
"A place you spend a lot of time at." I told him. He hopped off the wall and ran out. Kuwabara muttered, "Good riddance." I sighed once more and followed him out.
Later
Koenma gave us permission to enter and leave Makai, after hearing the situation. He was shocked that Hiei couldn't even remember who anybody was. As I left, he said, "You know, you've done so much for him, more than he'll ever know, there'll be no way he could ever repay you, being the type he is."
I thought back. I had done enough for my little friend- I even would've been killed because of him. But I couldn't just have let him die. "I don't expect to be repaid. I'm just happy I could do something to help him. He's my friend."
"He wasn't your friend then."
"Still, I didn't want him to die. It's not really his fault he turned out the way he is," I said, wondering what would've happened if he was a girl, like his sister.
Koenma sighed. "I suppose not." We let the conversation end at that.
Hiei and I spent all day walking around Makai, trying to look for something that might spark Hiei's memory. I asked him every once in a while if something looked familiar, and he always said no. Then we got to place and Hiei stopped. He froze and his face looked scared again. "Something- something happened here."
"What?"
"There was something here. There was a boy."
I looked around. We were standing at the place we fought the demon yesterday. Did Hiei remember that?
"He started to shake. "There- was a boy here. He- he was- fighting. He had black hair, and red eyes. He- he got- hurt." Suddenly Hiei's eyes popped, and his voice rose frantically, almost to the point of screaming. "He hit his head. Now there's a huge creature. It wants to hurt him, it wants to kill him." He suddenly ran into me, his eyes closed, petrified and screaming, "MAKE IT GO AWAY!! MAKE IT GO AWAY!!!
I picked him up and pulled him away from that place as fast as I could. He was shaking and moaning by that point. I gently put him down. "Hiei, it's ok, it's ok, were all right."
He looked up and me, still scared, and seeing him like that still made me uncomfortable. "I'm scared, Kurama. I don't want to go back there, ever again."
"Alright, Hiei, we won't go back there."
"I wanna go home." He mumbled.
"We'll go home then." We got up and started to go back towards ningenkai again. Hiei practically cut off circulation to my hand by squeezing it so tight. "You wouldn't let that monster hurt me, right?" he asked, scared still.
"Of course not. You don't have to be afraid. I'll always protect you."
He hugged me. I still felt very strange. "You're the best big brother in the world."
I hugged him back. I really didn't know what to say. I never had any siblings. "Thanks. You're a great little brother too."
We got back to my house, to find my mother had left a note, saying she had a business trip, and would be gone for a few days. I'll always wonder if that would make a difference in what would happen the next day.
Scribble: I thought this was going to be long.
Me: I decided to put the rest into a separate chapter, and it will be pretty short. Well, thanks for reading this, please no flames, con crit and good reviews are appreciated and will make me write faster. Long live the Demons!
