Scribble: Hi, it's Scribble, the puppy-muse, and I'm typing because titangirl161 is on the ground, crying because she is too happy to type. If she could, she would thank all the people who were nice and gave her such nice reviews, so I'll do it for her- thanks to all you wonderful people who left reviews, we're both very glad to know you all are enjoying the story. We don't own anything, mainly because we are now in debt for borrowing money to buy graphic novels. So now on with the story.

Who Are You?

Hiei's POV:

It was later that night and I was sleeping in the room near my brothers. I was still scared of the place my brother took me (what was it called again? Makai? I can't remember) but I felt better being at home. Our Okassan wasn't home; Kurama explained how she was away on a trip. I was glad Kurama was still here to protect me. I never felt afraid when he was around.

As I slept, I had strange dreams. In my dreams, there was a boy- one with dark hair and red eyes. It was the same boy I had seen getting hurt from earlier. He somehow looked familiar.

(A/N: Hiei has not yet seen his own reflection, so he has no idea this is him he's seeing. Just to clear up some confusion)

There were many different images. He first was stealing things, then in jail. He got out, and fighting someone trying to freeze him, cutting him into many pieces. He seemed to be very strong. There were more scenes- him fighting various enemies, protecting a familiar blue haired girl (Who is she?) and talking/insulting the people Kurama introduced me to as Yusuke and Kuwabara. They were his friends too?

Then I saw him walking through a place where my brother took me earlier. He was walking, with Kurama by his side. Kurama was smiling, obviously very happy, and even though the boy didn't show it, he was happy as well.

As I watched, I wondered: Had Kurama known him? They seem to be very good friends. What had happened to him, after the attack? I had noticed my brother had certain sadness in his eyes looking at me once. Was his friend still even alive?

At that point, the boy's head turned and looked me in the eye. He reminded me of someone, but I couldn't remember whom. Did I know him as well? Was he my friend too? Why couldn't I remember?

As I dreamed, I somehow felt a strange presence enter the room. My eyes snapped open and I looked up to see evil, angry black eyes looking at me. The same I had seen the night before. I whimpered.

"Having sweet dreams, Hiei?"

"Go away," I whispered, frightened.

"Now why would I do that, especially when I've come all this way to see my good friend again?"

He had a nasty sarcasm in his voice that sent chills down my spine. "Go away, or I'll get my brother."

He laughed at my threat. "Go ahead. I've been 'dying' to see your 'brother' again. Go get him, or better, bring him to me. I've come all this way to see him, He'll be 'ecstatic' to see me, I'm sure."

I yelped and ran out to Kurama's room, hearing his malicious laugh all the way. "Kurama?" I called as I got to my brother's room.

He opened his eyes tiredly. "What's wrong?" I could hear sleepy irritation in his voice.

I was shaking, and he could tell something was wrong. "Hiei, what is it?"

I could barely answer. "There- there's someone there."

"Outside?"

I nodded.

Kurama got up and looked outside. He looked around and shook his head. "I don't see anything."

"But it was there! And it wants to hurt you, I think! It's scary!"

Kurama's eyes widened a little when I said that. He looked outside again. "Maybe you were just dreaming."

"No! It wasn't a dream! He was there! Please, can I stay with you tonight?"

He sighed, and he looked at me sadly. Why was looking so sad? "Of course you can sleep here tonight." He got back into bed and I got in next to him. There was a rose scent everywhere. I hugged him and sighed, feeling safe once more and falling into a dreamless sleep.

The Next Morning

Kurama woke me up early and we decided to eat some hot pockets for breakfast. (A/N: Mmmmm, hot pockets- and no, we don't own those either.) I decided to tell him about last night. "Kurama, I had some strange dreams last night."

Kurama looked at me tiredly. "What kind of dreams?"

"They had the same boy from yesterday. He was in them."

Kurama's eyes widened. "What did you see?"

"He was fighting a lot, and stealing things, and he was in jail, and he knew this pretty blue haired girl, and he protected her." I paused. "I also saw you and him together. You were walking, and you were happy."

Kurama looked shocked and then he slowly turned away to the window. He looked like he was about to cry. Why was he so sad? "Did you know him?" I asked in a small voice.

He nodded. "Yes. He was my closest friend."

"Did I know him?"

He turned again to look at me. "Yes. You knew him better than anyone else."

I was confused. How could I have known him better than anyone else? I didn't even remember his name. I remembered the strange monster he fought. "Is-is he still alive?"

Kurama looked at me, with the strangest look imaginable. "I'm pretty sure he's not dead. At least, I don't think he is."

Scribble: Aw, wasn't that sweet? Yeah, to clear up what Kurama said- he thinks the Hiei he knows is inside, but he may never see it again, so he doesn't know if it's 'dead' or 'alive'. Yeah, I probably confused you all. Sorry.

Me: Yeah, now that I can actually speak- THANKS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU PEOPLE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your great reviews! Once more, please no flames, and good reviews help me type faster, as well as con crit. Long Live the Demons!
