Awakening

Kazu opened her mouth and said, "Yes, Hiei. It's me. But why am I in this body now?" Hiei shrugged his shoulders. "Wait... It's all coming back to me. My memories. I can remember what I was before and my parents. They were dragon demons. I came from the dragon clan. I also remember meeting Ketsueki too. She came from the fox clan. We'd meet each other all the time."

She looked up and smiled happily. She was so happy to finaly have her memories back. "Thank oyu Hiei." She said excited. She moved forwad and hugged him. "Thank you so much." She said crying out of joy. "Uh... no problem...?" Hiei said sort of confused.

When she let Hiei go she noticed she was wearing a priestess robe. "I'm wearing... priestess clothing." She just ignored it and said to Hiei, "Let's go, and wake up Ketsueki now."

She grabbed Hiei's hand and began to walk tothe door. Just as they reached the door Hiei pulled his hand away. Kazu looked back at Hiei and asked, "What's wrong?" She looked at Hiei's face. He was slightly blushing and looked to the side. "Oh, I see." She said teasing him. "Well, lets go." She said again. She turned around and walked out the door. Hiei followed behind her.

Meanwhile in Ketsueki's room. Kurama was awake now. He had been for about an hour now. It was hard to sleep now. For the thought of Ketsueki never waking up haunted his mind. The door was closed, and the sun was beginning to rise in the east. It was still early morning. Everything was silent. The room was illuminated only by the dim sunrise. Which was slightl blocked out by curtains in the window.

Then the door swung open, and Kazu and Hiei were standing in the doorway. Kurama had swung his head towards the door to see them standing right there. But he couldn't tell it was Kazu. He was about to ask who the girl was but then he felt some of Kazu's demon energy. He changed his mind. After feeling that he knew it was Kazu. He watched kazu walk over to the bed and look at Ketsueki. He saw Hiei walk over too.

Kazu put her hand on Ketsueki's face, then looked to Kurama and said, "Don't worry. I'm just going to enter her mind, to try and convince her to wake up." Kurama just nodded. Kazu closed her eyes and then focused on entering her mind. Then a shock wave a emormous pain shot through her head.

Kazu removed her hand and staggered backwards. Hiei moved forward to Kazu, but she just waved him off with her hand. "I'll be fine. But it looks like it's going to he hard to enter her mind. There's a type of barrier surrounding it."

"Then how are you going to get in?" Kurama asked looking down at Ketsueki's face. Her eyes were closed now. Like she was just merrily asleep. A small smile that most woudn't notice was on her face. It was really hard to notice for most. He just continued to think of any ideas that might be able to get them into Ketsueki's mind. But it was blocked by some sort of barrier. Nobody knew weather Ketsueki created it, or it's part of something else. To keep others out.

It then came to Kurama's he then said, "The reason why Kazu looks different from before was that earlier she had some sort of curse over her. To diguise her body, with a new one. It makes sense. But who could have done this? The only conclusion is that the person who did it was one of the four from the prophesy who wold destroy everything. They probably knew about the Goddess and the Seraph, even the true Arch angel would stop them. So they tried to contain their powers and true bodies, for as long as they could. But they probably didn't think about this. Or at least on Kazu's account. Ketsueki... they knew. So they set up the barrier of her mind. Where her true body is still locked up. And maybe we need more than one person's energy to reach her mind, and get passed the barrier."

Hiei looked over to Kurama. Then said, "How do you know all this stuff about the prophesy? Koenma never told us."

"True. But I'm a type of animal demon. So naturally I know about it."

"Oh."

They had all decided to try Kurama's idea. Kazu, put her hand on Ketsueki's face again, while Hiei grabbed Kazu's hand. Kurama grabbed Hiei's wrist. Hiei and Kurama began to focus to channel their energy thought themselves and into Kazu, who would then channel it and use it to get past the barrier in Ketsueki's mind.

They all could see everything. It was at first like a tv screen with no reception. It stood like that for a while. That was the barrier. It looked like that until, Kazu was able to break through the barrier. When it cleared up, they were inside. Everything was barren. Nothing was to be seen, except for their own selves.

They began to move on. Searching for what Hiei had told them they would find another body floating in the air, and Ketsueki next to it. They searched for a long time. Or at least to them seemed a long time to them. Almost everythign they did was only in vain. There was no movement amoung the lifeless void.

It was hard to tell where to look, when there was only black around them. After a while a searching they came across what Hiei had described, as one body floating and another right next to it. They saw one girl with purple hair just floating there slepping, like Hiei had found Kazu's real body. "This must be Ketsueki's real body." Kazu said. They looked over and saw Ketsueki suspended in the air by wires, like Hiei had found Kazu.

Ketsueki's head leaned against her arm, which was tied in the air upward by her other hand. Her legs had been tied tightly together now. She seemed to be asleep. "Ketsueki!" Everyone called out at once. It worked the first time around. Ketsueki opened her eyes and looked at Hiei, then Kazu, and then Kurama.She didn't say a thing, she just stared at them, with hardly any emotion. She really didn't know what to say, so she didn't say anything.

Kazu and the two boys, were actually thinking weather to just try and break the barrier that surrounded the other body, or what. Even if they broke the curse on her body, how where they to know that she would wake up on the outside. It seems that the silence would last forever. Until Ketsueki made a desperate cry for help.

Saying, "Break the barrier around the body over there. This is only my cursed body. Break that barrier, and my curse will be lifted. I wan't my real body back. Please!" They were all surprised at what she said. Has she known about the curse on her body all this time? No one hesitated. Unlike when Hiei broke Kazu's barrier around her true body, this one was harder to break. even all three of them attacking it.

Each time they tried they were just pushed backward by the energy wave. Kurama struck the barrier again and again with his rose whip, while Hiei hit it with his katana, and Kazu used her fists and feet. They struck the barrier repeadedly, but had no luck.

After what seemed one hour the barrier began to crack. They continued to stike it and after sometime it finally bursted open, and they were back in the hospital. Ketsueki was sitting on the edge of the bed, away from everyone else. She was in her true body, and had purple hair. They walked in front of her and looked at her. She looked up from the ground with a smile on her face. "Thank you so much!" She said excited. "I finally know who I am. I have my memories once again."

Tears rolled down her cheeks and hit the floor. She was so happy, this was possibaly the happiest day of her life. To finally remeber where she came from, who she was, and even her name. She wiped them away and said, "Hello, my name is Ketsueki Roze from the Fox Clan." Then Kazu smiled and said to the boys, "My name is Kazu Doragon from the Dragon Clan." Kurama couldn't hekp but slightly laugh. Even Hiei was smiling. And not his evil smile, it was happy.

------------

Later that day, when everyone was awake, Hiei and Kurama walked out into Koenma's office where Yusuke, and Kuwabara were checking in with Botan. Touya, Genkai, Keiko, Shizuru, Hoshi, Koriyami, Yoru, and Jin wanted to see how Ketsueki and Kazu were doing. They saw Kurama and Hiei walk out. They were all about ready to ask about Kazu and Ketsueki, when they both walked into the room.

There was silence. Nobody knew these two strange girls were Kazu and Ketsueki. The group stared at them. Then Kazu said, "Good morning, my name is Kazu Doragon of the Dragon Clan." Ketsueki then said, "Hello, my name is Ketsueki Rose. of the Fox Clan." After they introduced themeselves everyone knew it was Kazu and Ketsuei.

They crowded around them and began to ask like twenty questions.
