Chap. 15- You Can Never Forget

Shuichi Minamino, otherwise known as Kurama, was staying after school today. He felt like working harder than usual. Lately, he had been thinking about Shadowflame and Natsuki. It had been nearly three months since he had last seen them. He even doubted that they were still alive. He swallowed the lump in his throat as he thought of Shadowflame. She had finally come to him. Not to mention Yoko was in heat, quite annoying on his behalf.

He sighed, setting down the glass beaker. His eyes drifted to the window, gazing out into the trees that were locater just out side the biology classroom. For a split second, he thought he saw a reddish blur fly through the trees, hopping from branch to branch. He blinked and he saw nothing else. He sighed again, deciding that his mind was playing tricks on him.

"Just go home and get some rest." He told himself. Just as he was about to pack up, he heard someone calling his name. The problem was, they were not calling him Shuichi.

"KURAMA!" the voice yelled, echoing through the school hallway. "HEY, WHERE ARE YOU?" it pursued. Kurama slapped his hand against his forehead thinking back to the last time this happened with Kuwabara. He could still hear the voice.

"HEY! YOU DAMN KITSUNE! I KNOW YOU'RE IN HEAT!" the voice called. Kurama grabbed his bag, now knowing to whom the voice belonged. Bursting into the hallway, he saw several students turning around to look at a tall girl striding down the hall. Her long black hair was tucked up under a summer hat and she wore a pale blue dress that for some reason poofed out quite a bit in the back. She looked up at him, her blue green eyes sparkling.

"It's about time you answered me, you damn fox!" she laughed. Kurama was speechless.

"Uh, Shuichi, who is that?" one of the boys standing near him asked. He did not answer. He merely began to walk towards Shadowflame.

"You're alive?" he asked. Shadowflame rolled her eyes.

"Do you seriously think they could kill me off that easily?" she asked, sounding offended. Kurama chuckled lightly, now standing directly in front of her.

"I like you hat." He said softly.

"Thanks," Shadowflame replied. "I thought you would." She finished, leaning forward and planting a kiss on Kurama's soft lips.

The people around them had begun to wander away, while some still remained, watching the couple. Once they had finished kissing, Shadowflame grabbed Kurama's hand.

"Come on, Natsuki's trying to find Hiei." She said, beginning to walk down one of the flights of stairs.

"Well this should be interesting. You have no clue what Hiei's been through. I've had to stop him from erasing his memory several times." Kurama explained as they descended the stairs.

"Well it's a good thing he hasn't. Natsuki's been a wreck. We had the hardest time finding a good portal to the human world." Shadowflame retorted.

A few miles down the road, Hiei lounged lazily on the fifth branch up in a large oak tree. His crimson red eyes barely open as sleep began to take hold of him. He was on the brink of falling asleep, when he heard someone call his name. He woke with a start, almost falling out of the tree. He strained his ears, listening to see if he heard that voice again.

After a few minutes of patiently waiting, he became impatient and flitted off. No sooner had he begun to move, he realized someone was following him. He narrowed his eyes and began to speed up, jumping nimbly from one tree branch to another. His follower sped up as well. They definitely had a demonic aura. Finally, as he reached at least 40 mph, the trees ended and he was sent hurtling into a parking lot. He twisted in mid air, landing agilely on his feet. Before he had time to turn around, a blur of red, brown, and blonde knocked him over.

He landed hard on his rear, growling angrily at the person who was pinning him to the ground.

"Who the hell are you?" he roared angrily.

"Tell me you haven't forgotten already." Natsuki's silky smooth voice asked sarcastically. Hiei's eyes focused on his attacker.

"N-Natsuki?" he stuttered. The bright red eyes of Natsuki began to glisten as Hiei spoke her name.

"Yeah, long time no see, eh?" she said, laughing a little. Hiei's eyes were wide as he took in the familiar, and not so familiar features of Natsuki.

Her eyes were still the bright red they always were, but her hair now had long, blonde streaks in it.

"What the hell did you do to your hair?" Hiei asked, beginning to rise as Natsuki got up.

"Don't you like it?" She asked, running her fingers through her long wavy locks. Hiei smirked.

"It's hideous." He said plainly. Natsuki beamed.

"Oh Hiei," she exclaimed, jumping forward, diminishing the space left between them with a kiss.

Hiei through his arms around Natsuki's waist, his longing to feel her soft curvy body against his finally satisfied. Natsuki kissed him passionately, tears spilling from her eyes. Finally they broke away, Natsuki burying her head into Hiei's neck.

"I promise I won't ever go on a vacation like that ever again." She said smiling. Hiei just held onto her, never wanting to let go.

"Good." He said bluntly, smirking as well.

Kurama and Shadowflame were seen running around the corner. They spotted the two in an embrace and grabbed on to one another's hand.

"It's a perfect ending." Shadowflame said, pretending to wipe tears from her eyes. Kurama shook his head, smiling.

"I have a feeling there will be much more to come. So shall we say, what a perfect beginning?" he questioned. Shadowflame shrugged.

"Sure. They're bound to create some pretty crazy kids."
