Just a few words to
Angelfire: My first reviewer!!! Thank you soooooooo much for the compliments. And I'm not exactly a fan of Hiei/Keiko pairings, but this story could very well turn out that way, I'm never sure what will happen. (I'm one of those people who makes things up as they go)
Hiei is da best: It does sound a bit awkward. I guess that's just the way my writing is sometimes. Sorry I didn't get the chapter up very quick, I didn't know where to take it.
AnimeKrazyIdiot: I'll try to make the chapters a bit longer, my other story started out short too, but it got longer.
Dragonet: I don't know about the pairing like I said earlier, but I'll try to make the chapters longer, really, I'll try.
Ashes of Death: You got a chance to read my story!!!! I'll continue, if you do.
??: OK, thanks, I think this chapter is a bit longer. blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, etc....
DEMONLADY: Thanks for the advice. As for the pairing, again, I'm not sure about who's with who, but I'll consider H/K.
Misaki: I know you didn't review, but since its your dad's computer's fault you didn't, I'll say thanks for the idea, and sorry I haven't gotten the latest chapter of Hidden Memories written yet. I'm not sure where to go.
One last thing before I send you off into the soft caress of the story I just wanted to say REVIEW!!! And that I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.

Keiko woke with a start, her head hurt and she wasn't sure where she was. She'd had a nightmare about being carried off by a demon, but it was the last thing she could remember. It had been so real, Yusuke had been in it, and so had that girl from school that Yusuke hung out with. Her name had been Botan hadn't it? As Keiko rambled through the dream in her mind she looked around and realized that she wasn't in her room… or any room she'd ever been in before. The dark, dank room looked like a prison straight out of an old fairytale. The only light came from a small barred window set just below the ceiling on the wall facing her, and all the walls looked as though they were made of stone. A heavy wooden door with a small barred window in the top of it was in the wall behind Keiko. As Keiko realized that she hadn't been dreaming, she climbed shakily to her feet and made her way around the room, exploring every nook and cranny, looking for a way out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiei looked out the window at the barren landscape before him. It was desert for miles, if anyone was to approach the fortress, he would know long before they got there. As he stood watch, a troubling thought nagged at his mind. 'The ningen is supposed to be a demon, but it still acts like a ningen. The sword was supposed to make it a servant of her captor, yet it doesn't even know what it is. Maybe it was because I was unconscious while she had become a demon.. The sword had no one commanding it, so it just made it a demon with the brains of a human. The trouble is it doesn't know it's a demon yet. The baka ningen still thinks it's an ordinary human. It has no idea what she was capable of…'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keiko looked around the room one last time before accepting defeat. She slid to the floor knowing that the only way out of the room was through the door, and considering that the door was locked, it wasn't likely that she would be leaving anytime soon. 'Maybe, Yusuke will rescue me. No, Yusuke was acting weird just before I was kidnapped. I can still remember the confused look on his face when he first spotted me, and his unfinished sentence, "Hey Keiko, I don't know how to say this, but..." What was he trying to tell me? I just don't get it, what did he mean?' And with that… Keiko put her head in her hands and started to cry. A few minutes into her self-pitying, she realized there was something on her forehead. It took her a minute to realize that it was an eye. Keiko sat there numbly for a moment in shock, 'I have another eye!? It just isn't possible…'
"So you finally figured it out?" a voice boomed, "It took you long enough."
Keiko spun around to look for the source of the voice. Standing there, just inside the open door, was a short boy who looked vaguely familiar.

How was it? I'm sorry it took so long, but I wasn't sure how to continue. I'll try to write the next one so I can get it up by the end of the week, but don't count on it. Any suggestions would be welcome, and reviews are always appreciated. Oh, by the way, if you are looking for a good story and have heard of Fruits Basket before, check out Hidden Memories by The people in the corner. (I'm person #2)
