CHAPTER FOUR: A FORGOTTEN PAST

Reina sighed as she stuffed her hands into the pockets of her jacket. She had changed out of her school uniform into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt along with a jacket. She now was wearing glasses to complete her outfit that made her look completely different from how she looked at school. The girl was on her way to her new job. Reina looked up at the sky. It was completely dark now and the only lights came from the street lights. It was so weird since now it was only about five o'clock in the afternoon.

Being away from the four spirit detectives relaxed her spirits immensely. For some reason she felt that she knew that spiky haired one from some place. Everytime she came close to thinking of it, a sharp pain would shot into her body so she just gave up on it. Reina sighed and sped up her walking pace. There was no way she was going to be late for her first day of work. She soon came upon a small dry cleaners (Hey, i work for a dry cleaners, so she shall too.). She walked in and went behind the small counter where she was greeted by a small elderly man. Reina gave him a small smile. "Konnichiwa, Mr. Otomoto."

"Oh, Rei, konnichiwa. Gomen but I must leave. I have some important errands to run so please do not forget to look up the store before you leave." The elderly man told her. Receiving a small nod from the girl, he left her there all alone.

Outside the store, sitting in the tree next to it, was a certain fire apparition. He stared into the store at the girl behind the counter reading a book. Hiei scoffed and glared at her. 'She does not remember me. Baka onna. She doesn't even remember anything about her past. I doubt her idiotic sister does. They're both clueless so it will make it so much easier to finish her off once and for all.'

(-:Kurama, --:Hiei, ---:Youko)

-Hiei, are you there?- Hiei heard Kurama's voice penetrated his own.

--What do you want, kitsune?--

-Where are you? Koenma has some information that you and Yusuke both need to hear.-

--The spirit detective isn't with you?--

-No, he's with Kari. Something about how he was getting a feeling about her.-

--That's because he's beginning to remember his past.--

-What was that?-

--Nothing, do you want the baka onna as well?--

-Yes, I'll have Yusuke bring Kari as well. Hiei, are you with Reina?-

--Hn.--

---Hiei, I hope you not going to kill the sexy kitsune and her equally sexy twin. I could have some fun with them since they don't remember you.---

-Youko, be quiet! We do not have time for you and your perverted mind.-

---Hiei knows what I'm talking about, right Hiei? Kari and Reina both have curves in all the right places....---

-Youko, that's enough!-

--Hn.-- With that, Hiei severed the mental link between him and the reincarnation of the kitsune thief. He didn't want to hear what that kitsune had to say. He turned his attention back at the girl in the dry cleaners. She was resting her head on the counter. Hiei scoffed and jumped out of his tree. He walked into the store and Reina instantly stood straight up. She saw who it was and went back to resting her head on the counter.

"What do you want?" Reina asked him as she closed her heads looking as she was about to fall asleep. Hiei scoffed and glared at her. He walked up to her and pulled her head up so they were looking at each other. Reina glared at him. "Let go of my fucking hair, you stupid spiky haired boy."

"Baka onna, you're coming with me. Koenma and the others want to talk to you." Hiei told her coldly. He was in deep shock when he felt the stinging pain of the impact of Reina's hand and his cheek. He unconsciously let go of her and Reina fixed her hair while glaring at him. "I don't know who this Koenma guy is nor do I care. Just hurry up and leave before I call the police."

Reina picked up the phone beside her. Before she could dial a number, the cord was cut. She glared at Hiei who sheathed his sword. "Onna, you will coem freelly or I will make you come." (O.o that sounded so wrong. ..)

"Oh and what are you going to do?" Reina asked him slightly threatening. Hiei scoffed and took off his bandanda revealing his Jagan. Reina's eyes widen as she watched it open and stare at her. Suddenly, it felt all her energy was being drained from her body and she fell to her knees still looking up at his Jagan. She hated the fire apparition so much at the moment. He was smirking at her weakness. Reina closed her eyes as darkness engulfed her consciousness.

"Yusuke, are you following me or what?" Kari asked as she walked down the stairs of the apartment building. Yusuke followed her keeping his eyes on her. She too had changed out of her high school uniform. She was now dressed in jeans and a slightly over-sized T-shirt.

"No, I have nothing else to do so I'm keeeping you company." Yusuke told her. Kari sighed and put her hands into her jeans' pockets.

"I think I would call that following."

"Hey, you offered."

"Whatever. Hey, where did the others go anyways?" Kari asked him as two stood at the crosswalk waiting for the light to change. Yusuke slightly shrugged his shoulders.

"I guess Kurama and Kuwabara went to go talk to Koenma. I have no clue where Hiei is. He comes and goes as he pleases." Yusuke told her. Kari scoffed and gave him a look.

"He really didn't come over to apologize to my sister, did he?" Kari asked him. Yusuke smiled slightly at her and shook his head.

"No." Yusuke told her simply. The light changed and the two began to cross the street. Once on the other side they headed for the apartment building where Kaito was at. "So, uh, are you parents dead or something?"

Yusuke mentally slapped himself after he realized what he had just asked her. People, especially females, didn't want to talk or be reminded of death. He looked at her. Her expression was slightly sullen. After a few seconds of silence, Kari nodded her head. "They died when Reina and I were eleven and Kaito was only five. I thought I had known them but their deaths showed me I was wrong.

Reina and I were at school when it happened. Wh had just picked up Kaito from kindergarden and we walked into the house with wide eyes. A teenaged boy with black hair and crimson red eyes stood there in our parents' blood."

((((((((((FLASHBACK!!!!!)))))))))))

Reina, Kari, and Kaito stood in the doorway of their house. THeir parents' blood was everywhere. On the floor, on the walls, on the funiture, you name it and ther was blood. A teenaged boy stood by the bodies, smirking. Kari and Kaito took a step backwards while Reina took a step forward, glaring at the boy. "----, why did you d this? WHY?!"

"Rei, you know why. This was to torture you. I will not kill you but rather torture you and the rest of your family. You brought this upon youself and you know it, Rei." The boy told her with a murderous smile. Reina glared at him with tears slowly streaming down her face.

"----!! If you have a grudge against me, torture me not my family. They did nothing to deserve this!" Reina yelled at him. The boy chuckled. ANother boy stpped into the room. He had dark brown eyes and black hair. The boy fell to his knees. Kari gasped and ran over to his side.

"------!!! Please say something!! What did ---- to you?! ------!!!" Kari frantically began to shake the boy's shoulders. He muttered something then he lost consciousness. Kari held him in her arms as she looked at her twin sister. She was arguing with the other boy. Kari's tears ran quickly down her face. First her parents were dead, ------ was badly hurt, and now Reina was getting herself deeper into complications.

"----, why the hell are you doing this? I knew that we never liked each other but there was no reason for you to murder my parents." Reina said as she inched closer to the boy. He just stood there watching her and scoffed.

"Damn straight. I never liked you and I never will. You're just a weak ass kitsune. Baka onna, just die already."

(((((((((((END OF FLASHBACK!!!!!!!))))))))))))

Kari sighed as she and Yusuke approached the apartment building. Yusuke actually felt sorry for her. He put an arm around her and she leaned into him as they continued to walk. He's been feeling sorry more often, ever since Keiko moved away. She told him that she was him to get himself another girlfriend and never let go of her.

"I don't even remember anything before that day or who those guys were. Reina has the same problem. She doesn't even remember that day. All she remembers is the day after and nothing before. I have no clue about Kaito though. I never wanted to bring it up with him around. After all he was only five at the time." Kari finished telling him. She sighed again then hit him playfully in the arm. "But none of that matters now. What matters is the present and the future. And the fact that I'm a hell of a lot faster than you!"

Before Yusuke could comprehend what she just told him, she took off towards the building at full speed. He soon took off after her. When the reached their destinations, they leaned against the wall and inhaled the air quickly trying to catch their breath. Just then a cell phone in Kari's jeans pocket rang. She took it out and answered it. "Moshi, moshi."
