All right... I'm back and worse then ever... did I just say that? Oh well. Guess who's learning to drive? I am. Not that, that has anything to do with my story. I would once again like to thank everyone who reviewed on that last chapter which was 'Stacie.' Thank you. God people is it that hard to his a button and say oh this, this, and this? Sorry. anyway onward.

Last time

Misha stared at Hiei as her powers failed her. Her last thought was, 'Please don't let the memory come back.' The darkness quickly rushed upon her. She knew nothing other than her own thoughts, which formed themselves to meaningless dreams.

The first was of Kurama and Hiei sitting on a bench. Hiei was staring at a snow cone that Kurama had. Hiei reached around Kurama and tapped him on the shoulder. Kurama looked away and Hiei stole the snow cone. The moment Hiei went to take a lick the snow cone tried to eat him.

Misha may have thought that dream was weird but by far it was the second dream. Yusuke was covered in chocolate and Kurama and Hiei were attacking him with giant gram crackers and marshmallows, chanting "S'mores, S'mores!"

The pointless dreams faded and Misha slowly returned from the meaningless journey into darkness.

----

"Misha?" Hiei held the unconscious girl in his arms. He shook her lightly in hope of waking her up. He plopped her on the ground and sat waiting for what ever was next, but what was he never expected, for another person had entered her mind and now Hiei was the one who had to protect her.

A boy, no older looking than Misha, was standing watching Hiei. No one moved, the air was dead. Hiei felt nothing, it was almost a dreamlike state. As if an instinct he pulled Misha closer. He recognized this boy, this boy with wild blonde hair and evilly cruel purple eyes. It was Arden, the boy who supposedly died when Misha blew up the house.

Slow and noiseless, the boy seemingly glided towards Hiei. A cold feeling settled around Hiei and Misha. The closer Arden came the colder and emptier the dark space became.

"Ahhh, I see you found my woman." A drawling voice declared. Arden's purple eyes bore into Hiei's. "If you would be so kind to hand her over."

"Does it matter if I hand her over to you, we are in her conscience, you won't have the real Misha." Hiei readied himself to attack. He needed this girl with all the power... no one else could have her.

A laugh that sounded almost like a bark echoed in the empty area. "She told you her name was Misha?" another laugh, "Her real name is Miho, Miho-

"Miho Niwa, the one who gave me this!" Hiei pulled off his bandana, there was the sign that long ago Miho planted on his forehead. The Jagan eye. He smirked at the man.

"Who- Who are you?" Arden's voice was shaky but he quickly steadied it.

"I, Arden, am Hiei." he mentally laughed when Arden jumped.

"How do you know my name?" His voice was like ice water.

"Does it matter?" There was movement in Hiei's arms. Misha was waking up.

The groggy girl moaned in pain. She feebly sat up at locked her eye's on Hiei. "You! Oh you are so lucky I didn't-" Hiei put his finger to her lips and moved her head so she could see Arden. She gasped.

"Ahhh, my lovely butterfly was woken up. I think it's time I took you home!" His voice grew hard at the last few words.

"Hiei...-god I'm gonna kill myself-... Hiei, I need you to fight him, I can't." Misha asked, and to her surprise Hiei smirked.

"I'd be glad to show this idiot what I can do when someone pisses me off." Hiei dropped her and stood glaring at Arden.

"Ahhh and here I thought you were a man, but the girl has you whipped!" He laughed, but Hiei could tell he was worried.

"What do you want with Misha and-" Hiei was cut off.

"Her name is Miho, not Misha!" Arden's eyes were filled with hate. "The name Misha is a dog's name!"

"Well then she's a good little dog." Hiei sarcastically shot back.

Arden stepped back as if disgusted and Hiei took this chance to attack. He pulled out his katana and ran straight at Arden's abdomen. To Hiei's distaste Arden lightly side stepped the attack and kicked Hiei as he went by.

"There's no use boy! I am a demi god, and with Miho's powers she and I will rule this world and all the others." Arden let out an ominous laugh and kicked Hiei.

Hiei was flung across the empty space. He stood up, blood flowing out of his mouth. "This isn't over." He slowly rubbed his forehead causing the third eye to open. "You can't have her anyway, she's mine." Hiei told him with a dark voice.

"What ever you say, your Exileness." Arden hit Hiei where it hurt, how did he know that he was the forbidden one?

"Die." Hiei said calmly and let out the dragon of the darkness flame, but this time the black dragon was not alone, with it was a white dragon. Hiei turned and Miho was standing awkwardly staring at the dragons.

"Did you-?" Hiei didn't ask the full question when he heard Arden scream he knew it was Miho.

"Let's go Hiei, and once we get back... you are so dead." Miho's happy demeanor had returned.

Once again a portal opened and Hiei quickly climbed out. Miho came soon after and they found themselves in the middle of an empty battle arena.

Miho turned to Hiei and smiled. "Hold still." She wiped blood from his lip but the grabbed his neck. "Hiei I need you to promise not to tell anyone! Understand?"

Hiei nodded and she let him down. "Why didn't you tell us you real name?"

"I forgot it..." Misha looked very upset. "I had hidden those memories away, so I wouldn't hurt anyone."

"Oh." Hiei's face was blank and he asked her, yet, another question. "Miho how did you know Yoko?"

"Haha. I met him when we both tried stealing the Emrial necklace- the one you stole from me- I was a better thief and he was caught ,and probably killed, but I luckily got away." She paused, "Hiei don't call me Miho, just call me Misha, I want to have good memories with this name."

"What?" Hiei asked. His confusedness plastered on his face.

"Like I would tell you!" Misha laughed, grabbed Hiei's arm, and pulled him back towards the stupid door Kurama had previously thrown her through. " Remind me to hurt Kura- oh my god- Yoko Kurama! There is no way, omigosh there is!" Misha finally had connected the dots. "Man now I feel stupid... don't you say anything, Hiei.

Hiei had opened his mouth but quickly shut it. He let Misha drag him back through the door and into the oh so wonderful, oh so stupid palace. "Can I speak now?" He asked her in a bored tone, which meant he was just being a jerk.

"What? Oh...shut up." She pulled him all the way through the palace and back to the field she first felt his power in.

"Why are we here?" Hiei asked.

"Because you had stolen my necklace and now it's broken." Misha had an evil smile on her normally innocent face. "I will give you ten second to run and hide after that you are dead meat."

Hiei laughed. "You think I'm scared?"

"Hiei I gave you the dragon, do you think that there might be somewhere in me, an untapped power waiting for me blow you up with?"

Hiei laughed once again. "Fine I'll play along with your foolish game." He turned and ran.

Misha laughed. 'Does he think I'm actually going to count?' She ran after him and into the forest, not even thinking of what was wait for her in there.
