Forgotten

Summary: "It's like… like I don't know who I am anymore. Who I belong to…." Hiei/OC

Author's Notes: Yeah. Really tired right now. And I've just figured out that doesn't like the percent sign. But that's okay. Chapter nine. Yeah. Lots of stuff is going to happen in this chapter. Hopefully it will be good. Oh, and by the way, there are going to be twelve chapters in this fic, but the twelfth one will be a tester for the sequel. I'm still not sure if I'll do a sequel or not. That'll be up to you guys. Anyways, I hope you like chapter nine. And my thanks goes to

sunflower: Yeah, it's almost over, but I promise that it'll be good!

AnonymousHieiFan101: Thanks so much for the compliment. I hope you enjoy the rest of the work.

Hidden Pagan: I'm sorry the chapter was short. But it was as long as it needed to be, I think. Thanks for reviewing!

LonelyInDarkness: You're right; it was sudden. But I'm glad that you thought the chapter was good anyway. Enjoy the rest of the fic!

samuraiduck27: Yes, only eleven chapters of story. I'm sorry! The story will have a good close, though. Who knows? Maybe the sequel (if there is one) will be longer. Keep reading and reviewing!

You guys rock.

Oh, just in case, italics thing from previous two chapters still applies.

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing at all. NOTHING AT ALL. Sad, ne?

Part Nine: Changes of Night

"Damn, how many of these people are there?" Yusuke snarled as he dodged the attacks of a slew of angel mercenaries. "And why the hell didn't Koenma tell us that they're so freakin' violent?"

"Now really isn't the time to be discussing that, Yusuke," Kurama replied, repelling half a dozen mercenaries at once.

The arrival of a blur of black momentarily distracted Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara from the hordes of angels trying to kill the tentai. A rivulet of crimson spilling from a row of oncoming adversaries gave the blur an identity.

"Hiei, long time no see," Yusuke smirked, fighting his way over to the yokai.

"What're you three doing here?" Hiei questioned as he carved up a row of mercenaries. "I thought Koenma was leaving this to me."

"He was," Kurama answered. "He changed his mind."

"What do you mean?"

Yusuke decimated the remaining attackers with his rei gun, and then turned to the yokai. "From what I could get," the tentai responded, "he thinks that sending what's-her-name here was a bad idea."

..O.O..

"Wait, let me get this straight," Yusuke said, resting his chin on his fist. "You sent Hiei to take this chick to Angel World, and now you're sending us to get her back? That makes no sense."

"Yeah," Kuwabara seconded. "Why did you change your mind all of the sudden?"

Koenma sighed, head in hands. "I've made a mistake," the deity murmured. "One that could get someone killed."

Kurama raised his eyebrows. "The angels would kill her? After demanding her safe return to them?"

The deity gave Kurama a weary glance. "You have no idea."

..O.O..

"Koenma sent us to get Akiko out of here before anything could go wrong," Kurama stated.

"I for one am assuming that we're a bit late for that," Yusuke added dryly. The tentai's eyes narrowed as he saw a man fleeing from the gated city. "Hey, who's going AWOL?"

Hiei glanced over to the gates and caught a glimpse of Fuerza's retreating back. "Someone Akiko told to leave," he responded. "I think she knows more about what's going on than we do."

Yusuke cocked an eyebrow. "She told him to leave? That's not a good sign."

"Neither is that," Kuwabara stated, gesturing to the fresh horde of mercenaries marching towards the tentai.

"Santidad, sir," a fair haired and pale skinned angel greeted, kneeling on the stone floor before another angel.

"Speak," the second angel, this one older and possessing the mien of a king. "What have you to tell me?"

"Koenma has broken his promise to us," the first angel replied angrily. "He has sent his Rekai tentai to retrieve the girl. Our men are doing all they can to keep them at bay."

A frown creased Santidad's brow. "I expected Koenma to back out. Send no more men to fight the tentai." He stood, his impressive form shadowing the other angel. "I can take care of this ordeal."

The onslaught picked at the gates picked up again; by now the carnage was horrible and the tentai were tiring.

"How many more of these damn things are there?" Yusuke hissed.

The answer to his question spoke quietly. "There's no need for you to fight now," Akiko said, not directly to either group of fighters. "There need be no more blood spilt."

"Quite right, Paciencia," Santidad's voice boomed from somewhere above the fighter's heads. Immediately the quarrel ceased and everyone was silent. The magestic angel smirked.

"There need be only one death today."

There was the briefest moment of silence before Santidad spoke again.

"Yours."

Author's Notes: Yeah. Well, that's chapter nine. Sorry it's so short. Chapter ten is going to be crazy long, if that tells you anything. Well, I really have very little else to say… please read and review!
