Lost Memories
Chapter 9- A True Sister and a New Mother
After Kurama told his mother about, his past. They both went upstairs, to check on Hiei and Yukina. Yukina kept her promise in watching over her brother, and Kurama trusted her. She was beside her brother; Hiei was still lying on the bed, while Yukina sat down a chair, which was beside the bed. Yukina was holding the hand of Hiei. Hiei was just asleep, he had life but the inside of him was empty.
"Yukina, thank you for watching over Hiei for me." Kurama said.
"Its all right Kurama, I needed my time to be alone with him too." Yukina replied with a smile.
"Yukina, aren't you tired, from today? Would you want to stay for the night?" Shiori asked, being concerned.
"No thank you mam, I told Genkai that I would be home, she might get worried if I don't keep my word to her." Yukina said.
"Okay then." Shiori said.
Kurama smiled. "Well I have to get these back in him." Kurama got out the box and bag of all the Tear gems they managed to collect. Kurama slowly approached the sleeping Hiei, he took out the Tear gems from the box first, and little by little, he lay in just above the position of his heart. Slowly the body of Hiei absorbed the Tear gems. Shiori and Yukina were watching Kurama as he place some of the pieces of Hiei's heart inside him. Koenma managed to find quite an amount of Tear gems, but it was still not enough to awaken Hiei.
Soon Kurama was finished with the Tear gems Koenma found, and he got out the black small bag, which they all found in the Human World. Again, Kurama placed the Tear gems just above Hiei's heart and his body absorbed it little by little. Then all the Tear gems they found were all back to where it should belong. Now Hiei's body has improved, the beat of his heart was faster, when Hiei only had one Tear gem in him he would only breathe and his body temperature was warm. Now, he would move a bit, like his arms, hands, or legs.
Kurama moved away from his sleeping friend's body, and left it be. "Now all the Tear gems form the Human and Spirit world is now back to where it should belong, in no time we will have all the Tear gems form the Demon world." Kurama was talking to everyone in the room and that includes Hiei.
"Yukina, do you sense any chance in Hiei's body for any chance?" Kurama asked.
Yukina closed her eyes and tried to feel the changes in Hiei's body, "Yes, there are many improvements, compared to a while ago, his body was just like a lifeless doll, but now his heart beats are faster, and his temperature is raised a little bit knowing that he is partly a fire demon, and he moves quite a lot." Yukina said honestly.
"That's good to hear." Shiori said.
"Yeah I think that it won't be long till we retrieve all of the Tear gems back." Kurama said.
"Oh no!" Yukina saw the time, it was late she needed to get back to the temple of Genkai fast or all the trains will be closed soon.
"I think that you should go now Yukina, this day did tire you, and we are going to Makai tomorrow. You should get some rest." Kurama said being concerned for his friend.
"I guess so, will my Onisan be fine?" Yukina seemed to be like a child, who was worried about her older brother.
"Yes of course." Kurama said.
"I have to go now; Genkai will be looking for me. By Onisan, I promise I will come back tomorrow." Yukina said her good-bye to Kurama and Shiori, but before she left the room, she went over to Hiei and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Good-bye Onisan, I will come back tomorrow, I promise Kurama, I, and together with the others will find all of your Tear gems. Till then I wish you to have a good long rest." Yukina whispered to Hiei, she had created a Tear gem for Hiei, as expected it was blue, she placed it inside the palm of Hiei.
"Kurama, I should be going now. Thank you for all the help Shiori, thank you for watching over my brother." She bowed down before Kurama and Shiori expressing her gratitude.
"Oh its nothing Yukina, don't worry about it, both Shuichi and I are happy to help." Shiori said.
Yukina gave her a warm smile.
"We should go now, Yukina I will see you off till in the train station. Mother can you watch over Hiei while I am gone, I am just taking Yukina to the train station." Kurama said.
"Sure, be careful okay?" Shiori said.
"Yes." Both Kurama and Yukina said. Then both of them left the room heading back to the living room, going outside the house of Kurama.

The train station was a bit far so Yukina and Kurama tried to make themselves entertained until they got to the train station. They both talked to each other, exchanging stories.
"Yukina are you happy now that you found your brother?" Kurama asked.
"Of course I am, I never knew he would be so close to me. I am only bothered, all of you knew expect for Kuwabara though and you never told me. All of you knew that I was searching for him, then why didn't you or even Hiei himself tell me that he was my brother?" Yukina asked, she was disappointed and yet happy.
"Yukina, I am sorry for not informing you, Hiei didn't want you to have a brother as a murderer or a thief. He thought that it would ruin your reputation. As you look at it you can see that both of you are very different in the way you act or think. He thought of you as pure. Nevertheless, despite of what he is, he still watched over you, and cared about you. He never let you out of his sight, which is one of the reasons he implanted the Jagan eye." Kurama said.
Yukina smiled, she was looking down. "But even if he thought of himself like that, he should have still told me. I already knew that Hiei had something to do with my brother, that's why I gave to him my Tear gem, the one my mother gave to me during birth, but then how come Hiei didn't have his Tear gem?" Yukina asked.
"Hiei has been fighting to survive all through his life, some would fight him over the Tear gem he had. A lot intended to steal it, but was unsuccessful. However, in one of the battles he had, another demon took interest on his Tear gem, but Hiei did not give. They fought in a mountain cliff, during the battle his Tear gem broke, and was accidentally thrown off into the river, he killed the demon, but he did not manage to find the Tear gem back. That is why he implanted the Jagan eye; he had tow things to look for now, the place of his birth and the Tear gem he had lost."
"So he lost his Tear gem that is why he was surprised to see the Tear gem I gave him when I asked him to look for my brother in the Demon World." Yukina said.
"Yes, he already knew before that you were looking for him, that is the reason you left the Koorime island right?" Kurama asked.
"Yes, my mother's friend Rui was the one who told me about my brother. Kurama, how did Hiei know that he had a sister? I mean he was born slightly early than me and was taken away from my mother as soon as they figured out that he was a boy, then how did he know that he had a sister?" Yukina asked, Kurama seemed to know everything about Hiei.
"You see, just after a few days Hiei had implanted his Jagan eye, he soon found the island of Koorime. He went there, seeking for revenge, but once he got there he did not do what was on his mind at first, he explored the place of his birth first before destroying it, everyone was afraid to see Hiei. Then Hiei came to meet a woman, this woman was a friend of his mother, she had told him everything that happened to his mother after he was thrown off, she told him that his mother had committed suicide after the death of her son. In addition, that was the time she told Hiei about his sister, and that she was searching for her brother. Hiei was about to leave the island, when the woman realized that Hiei was the forbidden one. Moreover, she turned out to be Rui the one who threw Hiei. She asked him to kill her but Hiei didn't care anymore about the revenge any more, now his mind was focused on looking for his sister."
"So my brother knew that he had a sister when he went to Koorime, and met Rui. So what happened after that?" Yukina asked. They were near the train station.
"Hiei tried to search for his sister, and in a few days he found her. Ever since then he had been watching over her, trying to protect her in anyway that he could. However, he never wanted you to know that he was your brother. He was deeply hurt, when you asked who he was when you were captured and held prisoner in a tower, he just never showed his emotions but deep down he was hurt." Kurama said. "Oh we are in the train station already, you need a ticket, and I'll pay for it." Kurama volunteered.
"No it's alright, Genkai gave me money." Yukina said buying a ticket. The train will be arriving in seven minutes until then they both still talked to each other. "That's so sweet of my brother, I feel so bad that I didn't know, I didn't even know that he was hurt with what I said, if I knew I would have never said that." Yukina slowly cried.
"Yukina Hiei understands. And he was touched when he was beating up the guy who captured you and you stopped him from hurting him that made his heart more at ease." Kurama said.
"It's a good thing, I finally know who my brother is, and I will never loose him. Kurama, thank you very much for telling me about my brother more, now I will take care of him and try to protect him from any harm, like what he did to me all this time. I love my Onisan and never loose him again; he is my only family now." Tear gems dropped in the floor. "Oh I shouldn't cry here in public, I am sorry Kurama if I express my feelings to much." Yukina whipped her eyes.
"No it's alright, I totally understand." Kurama said.
"Oh my train is here, thanks for keeping me company Kurama. See you tomorrow. Take care of Onisan all right? Bye!" Yukina went inside the train waving bye bye to Kurama.
"Of course I will. Take care, see you tomorrow." Kurama said waving at the train that was already moving.
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
While Kurama went to escort Yukina back to the train station, Shiori was watching over Hiei. She sat at the place Yukina sat, the chair beside the bed. She would only watch Hiei, but in doing so, she remembered the painful past of Hiei, the sufferings he had to go through in order to survive.
"Hiei, I know that you cannot hear me but I just want to talk to you." Shiori said to the sleeping Hiei.
"Shuichi told me about your past, actually he also told me about his past. I never knew such things existed, but I accepted them for Shuichi because he was still my son and I love him very much." Shiori stopped. She felt like someone was with her in the room, maybe it was her imagination but he felt like someone was there despite Hiei that is.
"I always thought that behind your appearance there is another person there existing in you, and I was right. Shuichi told me that you never really expressed your emotions; you do not like people seeing them. After hearing about your past, I felt pity, and I felt happy that I was so blessed and I never thought that people such as yourself would have such painful pasts. Hiei, I know that you cannot hear me, but I want to show you love, like what I did to Shuichi. I want to show you how a mother can love; I want to show you that hatred, sadness, loneliness and distrust is not the only thing that exists in your life. I want to show you a way to a brighter path; I want to show you happiness and love." Shiori stopped. She saw Hiei moving a bit.
"So Hiei will you accept me as your mother? I know that Shuichi will be delighted; I just don't like to see you suffering anymore. You know what I mean. Don't you want a mother to care for you and take care of you when you need comfort? Don't be shy in telling me what you feel, I will try to understand. After all that's what mothers are for." Shiori asked Hiei. Hiei appeared to be still sleeping.
"So would you accept?" Shiori knew that Hiei would not say anything back to her but she still was optimistic.
There was complete silence in the room, Shiori took the hand of Hiei for comfort, and he didn't answer. Shiori only wanted to make Hiei feel better, she just wanted the suffering in Hiei's hear to vanish.
"…hai…kaasan…arigato…" Hiei said in his sleep, he was murmuring, he was talking while he was sleeping. Hiei held the hand of Shiori even tighter. However, he was still asleep; maybe inside of him he was awake.
"Thank you Hiei-kun." Shiori hugged Hiei like what a mother would do.
A red-black Tear gem fell from the closed eye of Hiei. Shiori caught it, and placed it beside the Tear gem Yukina just recently gave to him. Shiori kept an eye on Hiei until Kurama got back, it want too long until he got back.
"Mother how is he?" Kurama asked as soon as he entered the room. Kurama was surprised to see what he saw, his mother was hugging Hiei.
"Oh he is fine, Shu-chan. You should get some rest now; you have to have a lot of strength in going to the Demon world tomorrow." Shiori said letting go of Hiei.
"Mother, what just happened?" Kurama wondered.
"Oh Hiei and I just had a little talk and agreed to something." Shiori was being mysterious not getting to the point.
"What did you talk about?" Kurama asked.
"I don't think Hiei would like us to talk about it right now, maybe we'll tell you once he has all the pieces of his heart back." Shiori said.
"Alright." Kurama agreed.
"Good night Shuichi, Hiei." Shiori greeted good night and left the room.
"Good night mother, thank you for everything."
"What are mother's for?" Shiori closed the door behind her.
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
Kurama smiled. Now it was only him and Hiei left in the room, finally he can get his alone time with him.
"Hiei, sorry that this is the only time I get to talk to you alone, it was a busy day today. Good thing we managed to find all your Tear gems in both the Human World and the Spirit world today tomorrow will be a tough one for we have to go to the Koorime Island. I know it is going to be complicated, but I will do it no matter what the cause is. I will do everything I can for you to just wake up." Kurama stopped, and bags of Tears slowly formed in his eyes.
"Hiei, why don't you just wake up! I want you here! Everyone that cares about you is all scared and upset about you, especially Yukina and I. Hiei, I know that you are going to be angry once you wake up that Yukina found out, but she has to know, she needs to know. You also needed her help, I know you do…Why does it have to be this way? HN, I hope that you wake up soon. Now sleep soundly, always have a nice dream, don't worry about us here we are all doing fine." Kurama said and kissed the cheek of Hiei.
"I am doing this because I love you very much…good night my love." Kurama whispered. Tears slowly ran down the cheek of Kurama, and dropped in Hiei's face.
Hiei made some sounds and movements, Kurama still looked at Hiei. Moreover, thought how much his body improved.
"…baka…kitsune…" Hiei murmured in his sleep, he was sleep talking.
Kurama was surprised "Hiei, are you awake?" Kurama asked, being surprised with what Hiei just said.
Unfortunately, there was no answer, Kurama had his hopes high but he was wrong.
Soon everyone is the Minamino residence were sound asleep the night grew darker, but it was peaceful.
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
"Yomi, how did Hiei manage to communicate with Kurama and Shiori its impossible!"
"I think all of their minds were all set in one thing, they had a bond that was strong that enabled Hiei to understand and feel what the other person is saying that enabled him to reply back."
"HN, so this is how strong there bond is."
"I am afraid so."
"The true search begins tomorrow, lets see if Kurama can manage to get all those Tear gems form the Koorime's."
