Chapter Seventeen: Childhood Memories
After dinner, the Takashis went home. Kari went to her room, Reina went to her room, and Kaito began rumaging through some of things they had brought to Japan that had belonged to their parents. Reina came out of her room to go to the kitchen to get something to drink when she saw Kaito in the front room looking through one of the phone albums that their mother had kept. Kaito didn't know that Reina was out of her room so he kept looking through it as Reina walked into the room and stood behind him, looking at the pictures with him. Her eyes widen when she saw one of the pictures. She instantly grabbed the phone album away from Kaito to look at the picture better. "Reina, give that back to me! You're not supposed to see that yet!!!"
"KARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!!!!!!!!!!" Reina yelled for her sister as she stared at the picture. Kari came out of her room, rubing the sleepiness out of her eyes. Apparently she had been sleeping.
"What is so important that you had to yell to wake me up?" Kari asked angerily as she walked into the front room where Reina and Kaito were at. Kaito continued to try to get the photo album away from Reina but to no avial. Reina took the picture in question out and handed the album back to Kaito. Kari glared at her. "Don't tell me that this is all about some picture."
"Here. Just look at it." Reina said as she handed the picture to Kari. She gave her twin a look then looked at the picture Reina had handed her. Kari's eyes widden when she saw the picture. In the picture there were five little kids standing in a park. Three of them were obvious. Kari, Reina, and Kaito were the obvious three but the two other kids were a surprise. In the picture, there stood a young Yusuke with his arm around Kari's shoulders and the other one was a young teenaged, BLUSHING Hiei who was being hugged by Reina. (Let's say that Hiei is 18 in human years now and in the picture he was thirteen and the twins were eleven. So he's two years older than Reina and Kari -human years-) Kaito was standing in front of the young Kari was hugging him as Reina and Hiei stood beside them. The picture was taken a year before their parents were killed. "...What...the...hell...?"
GREAT TIME FOR A FLASHBACK, ISN'T IT?
Flashback!:
"Yay! It's the first day of school! WOot!" Reina Takashi, age 10, said as she and her twin sister walked on to the school grounds of their elementary school. Yes, this is when they actually liked going to school!
'You know, you shouldn't be so happy to go to school. Now we can't even go looking around for Hiei or Yusuke.' A voice came into their heads. It was Dusk.
'I agreed with Dusk. We should be looking for Tsubasa's reincarnation and Hiei. Tsubasa's reincarnation should be easy to find but Hiei's a different story. I doubt he wants to be found, especially by Dusk's reincarnation.' Dawn. (AN: Tsubasa was Dawn's mate. He will be explained later when there's another thing about Dawn and Dusk. Oh, and can any guess who's Tsubasa's reincarnation is? Come on! Just think about it! Eh, just keep on reading and you'll find out. Like they say, time repeats itself. Or how I like to say 'Time Reverberates.' meaning 'Time Re-echos'. Back to the fic!)
"Hey, we're only eleven. Who cares about guys? They can all go into a corner and die. Right now, we should go push some people into that fountain over there. In fact, we shall." Kari Takashi, age 10, said as she pointed at a fountain on the school grounds. There were numerous kids standing around it, talking. Reina nodded happily in agreement and the two twins walked over to it, looking for their first victim. Evil little things, aren't they?
'Right there!'Dusk screamed in Reina's mind. Reina flinched a little then looked at who she was talking about. It was a kid her and Kari's age with black hair and chocolate brown eyes. Kari and Reina exchanged glances, smiling then walked up behind him. He was standing with another girl with brown hair which was pulled into pigtails and light brown eyes and the girl was lechoring him on something. The twins got behind him and pushed him into the fountain yelling, "TAG!"
The boy fell into the fountain and when he surfaced he was muttering curses at the girls. Such bad vocabulary for such a little kid. Tsk, tsk. The girl who had been talking to him turned to the two twins, glaring at them. "Why did you guys do that? That was so immature."
"Hey, we're eleven. Eleven year olds are supposed to be evil, immature little things." Reina said proudly as the boy crawled out of the fountain. 'That wasn't what I was talking about, you know. -.-' I was saying that that is him.'
'Who? That kid we pushed into the fountain? You got to be kidding, right?' Kari asked Dusk and Dawn. 'No, I'm not kidding. That's him.''So, we just pushed Tsubasa's reincarnation into that fountain over there?' 'Yup.' 'Great.'
"Hey, I'm sorry about that. We were just messing around. I'm Hikari Takashi but everyone just calls me Kari." Kari introduced herself as she helped the boy up. Reina rolled her eyes and gave her sister a look then looked over at the boy and girl.
"Yeah, and I'm Reina Takashi but call me Rei. And before you even ask, yes, we're twins. So, what are your guys's names?" Reina asked them. The boy gave her and Kari a look then wrung out his clothes. The girl on the other hand started smiling at them and shook hands with them as well.
"It's nice to meet you two. I'm Keiko Yukimura and this is Yusuke Urameshi. Are you guys going to be in the fifth grade?" Keiko asked them as she readjusted the small backpack on her back. The Takashi twins nodded and suddenly the bell rang. Everyone ran inside while Yusuke just walked into the school after them slowly. (Okay, so who guessed it was going to be Yusuke? Hm? ::gives all the people who guessed right a Hiei, Yusuke, or Kurama plushie::)
A few months after meeting Yusuke and Keiko:
'Hey, are you sure that Hiei's nearby? I mean, come on, what's the point of finding him anyways? I know that he betrayed you and all but what's the point now? I should be focusing on my life instead of your past.' Reina told Dusk as she walked down the street heading for the city park. All she heard was silence. The kitsune hanyou sighed. 'I'm sorry, Dusk. That was pretty selfish of me.'
'Yeah, it was but I'm being selfish too. After all this is your body. I'm sorry. I'll try to stay out of your life as much as possible. But my Hikari, I will always keep you safe.' Dusk told Reina. Reina smiled and turned the corner. Just as she turned the corner, she tripped over a good sized rock and fell into the road. At the same time, a car caming speed down the road. It seemed that Reina's death was coming. Just as the car was about to hit her, she felt herself being picked up and moved. She had closed her eyes when she saw the car coming and now she opened her eyes.
"Who are you?" She asked as she stared at the guy who was holding her. He had gravity defying black hair and dark crimson red eyes. Her heart beat increased when the guy looked down at her, looking into her dark purple eyes.
"Hn, don't tell me that you don't know who I am. I'm sure that Dusk told you about me." The guy told her with a slightly cold impression. Reina laughed to herself and smiled at the guy.
"So, you must be Hiei then. Well, I'm Dusk's reincarnation but you can call me Rei. It's nice to finally meet you."
A year after meeting Hiei, etc. :
Kari, Yusuke, Reina, Hiei, Kaito, and Keiko were all at the park having a nice relaxing day. After a year, Hiei has gotten used to the others and was less cold to them. Dusk and Dawn stopped talking to Reina and Kari as much. Yusuke and Kari were much closer and Kaito was acting like Yusuke and Hiei were his new older brothers while Keiko was another older sister. The six of them were now laying beside the lake in the middle of the park looking up at the sky.
"Hn, are we actually going to do something or are we just going to lay here watching the clouds go by?" The fire apparition known as Hiei asked breaking the silence between the group. Keiko instantly sat up and started searching through her pockets for something. When she found it, she brought it out and showed it to everyone. It was a camera.
"I have a camera with me. I want to take a picture of you guys. You're the best friends I have ever had and I always want to have picture of you guys." Keiko said with a big smile. Everyone else sat up and nodded except for Hiei who just stared at the camera in Keiko's hand.
"What the hell is that thing?" Hiei asked while he continue to look at the camera. Reina laughed and gave Hiei a small hug which made him slightly blush.
"Don't worry about it, Hiei. It's just a camera. Let's just say that it paints a picture of what ever it is pointed at." Reina gave Hiei a vague explanation of what a camera was. She then turned and looked at Keiko. "Hey, Keiko, do you think that I could get a copy of it when you get it developed so I can show Hiei was it is."
Keiko agreed to this and everyone stood up. She walked a little ways from the group as they got into position. Just as she was about to take the picture, Yusuke put his arm around Kari and Reina glomped Hiei. (AN: FYI, Let's just say that Keiko loses her copy of the picture so the Takashis are the only one knows of the existance of this picture.)
END OF FLASHBACK!
As these memories flooded into Kari's and Reina's minds, Kari lost grip of the picture and it fell to the ground. Kaito watched them concernly waiting for their reactions. 'They weren't supposed to remember any of this stuff. Hiei's so going to kill me.' Kaito told himself as he picked up the picture and put it back in the photo album. Kari and Reina just stood there for a moment then silently walked back to rooms to go to sleep. Surprisingly they didn't say anything to each other or to Kaito. They just went to their rooms and went to sleep.
End of Chapter Seventeen
Okay, how was that chapter? Who would have guessed that Kari and Reina had known Yusuke and Hiei before? Then how come they all acted like it was the first time they were meeting? Hm, makes you think about what could have happened to make them forget about each other? And why did Dusk and Dawn stop talking to Kari and Reina? SO MANY QUESTIONS! ::Falls to the ground and starting writhing::
Hiei: Beccako, what are you doing?
HIEI!!!! ::GLOMPAGE:: And where have you been, mister? ::Gets off of Hiei and gives him a questioning look::
Hiei: Your room is dirty again.
Who cares! Right, Youko?
Youko: Yup! ::Glomps HieiKitty::
Hiei: ::Glares at Youko:: Fox, get off of Becca right now before you lose your life.
Youko: ::Lets go of HieiKitty:: Damn, Hiei, I was just giving her a friendly hug. What's so wrong about that?
Hiei: ::Death Glare:: You were stroking her ass as well.
::is eating tacos:: Please review! And if you do, I'll give a plushie of your favorite bishie!
Hiei: Why are you still here, fox?
Youko: Cause Becca said that I could live at her house along with you guys!
Yup! A new housemate! But, Youko, no being a pervert now! Oh, and here's some rules: You're not allowed in my room, only Hiei is and no eating my tacos, those are mine. And sorry, Youko, but I already got two mates as it is.
Hiei: I hate that dog.
I love Sesshomaru! I love Hiei! ::Looks at Youko:: Um, I like Youko as a friend!
Hiei: ::Huge grin::
Youko: ::Sigh of defeat::
Oh, note for Sara (Inu Faceness): Hey, Sara. I lied! Kukukukuku!
