Lost Memories
Chapter 13- Seeing One Another Again
There was a blue fire in the center of that scene, a big blue fire, which represented the Koorime's. The elders were all gathered up there, including Rui. Rui was one of the elders, only she was the youngest among all of them.
"Rui, we know what you did for Youko Kurama." One elder said strictly.
"You let that boy escape! Did you ever think of what the result of that could be?" Another one said.
"Yes, and I am willing to do all the punishments you are willing to do to me, because of what I did. And I am not afraid of them." Rui said confidently.
"I know the severe punishment is death, for you not only broke the rule, but you also broke your loyalty to our clan." Another one said.
"I am aware of it, and I am not ashamed of it." Rui said, she knew what the elders were going to do to her.
"You know death is upon you and you are not even afraid! Rui, what did that child do to you to make you act this way! You're the only one different than the rest of us, and you seem not to care even before all those years ago, when he was born." The first elder said.
"He doesn't deserve to be treated as a low life, he also has a life like ours, he has flesh and blood like ours, and he is just like us, why can't you see that? He may be born differently from all of us, but he is still like us. He doesn't deserve the sufferings he is experiencing right now, that are why I let Kurama go. Kurama is the special person in his heart, and I don't want to take it away from him." Rui admitted.
"Rui, why is this child so special to you? He is different that is why we needed to dispose him." The second elder said.
"He is my best friend's son, and I loved my friend like a sister. She was heart broken when we had to drop her son, her son didn't cause you people pain, so why does he have to live a miserable life? I don't see the purpose you're doing so."
"Hmmm…Rui this is a never ending chase it won't be over until that child is dead, don't you see no matter what you do he is still the forbidden one, and you cannot change that." Another elder said.
"Isn't Hina's death enough for you! Why do you have to take it on him! Did you know that Hiei came here once before, he was honored to kill us all one by one, even the people who didn't cause pain to him, but he hated us all, he hated our land, his origin. He hated the things that you've done to him to make him feel alone all the time. However, he changed his mind, he didn't want to kill us anymore, he thought that if killing everyone of us would be his revenge it wouldn't do well either. He will just like us, killing and disposing one another because of a crime he didn't commit. When he saw his mother's grave his heart moved, his mother died because of what we did, he grew compassion for us now, even if he hated us so much." Rui began to cry.
"That isn't still an excuse Rui, he still exists and the only way to keep our tradition is to kill that boy."
"Rui, you are one of the leaders in this island, and I don't want the situation you caused to go on public, even if it is the rule to kill you, I am obliged to spare your life, but there is a death sentence…you still have to undergo a punishment." Said another elder.
"You are not to have contact with the outside world from now on; you are to stay in a tower locked up. If you break this rule, there is no question with it you have to be killed." Another one said.
"I know that child will come back once again, it's either that or he will be carrying something that is far more dangerous, the child possess a trait that was inherited by the Koorime's. We will be back for him; it's not yet over for now." Another one said.
"What are you talking about?" Rui wondered.
"You'll see, he will be united with the Youko, and in a matter of a year or less you'll see. We will need to dispose of it and him once that happens, and this time there is no excuse in killing him. But for now, I will let him be." The elder replied.
"No, don't tell me…Hiei can…" Rui didn't get to say it when the elders brought her up to the tower. From now on, Rui was to live in a tower, she wasn't allowed to go out of that tower, she was to live in that tower for the rest of the days she lived.

Hiei went to the Demon world in to retrieve Kurama from the elders of the Koorime Island, who were the ones responsible for the fall of Hiei. They took Kurama in captive, in exchange of the Tear gems of Hiei, not only was he held captive, but soon to be killed in three days. Rui on the other hand grew pity for Kurama and Hiei, so she had helped Kurama escape from the island back to Ningenkai.
"Where did that darn island get to now?" Hiei arrived in the demon world, in search of the Koorime Island. He has been to the Koorime Island before, but it was long since he was been there. With the power of his Jagan eye, he could find it in a matter of time.
It was hard to look for the island, not only was it floating but it was covered by the clouds.
Hiei looked for the island again, jumping from one tree to another, climbing every mountain he could see to get closer to the island. He fought with many demons, and managed to surpass all of them. With Hiei's speed, it was in a matter of a day to find the island, now that he was close.
"Darn those demons." Hiei just finished killing one whole group of low life demons who got in his way. Now he journeyed again to find the island.
'Darn that Kurama, what the hell is he thinking going to give himself to those Koorime bitches? He really is a baka-kitsune, and he will always be. He should know better than to give his life up. Darn it!' Hiei thought, he was angry and the same time worried that he won't get to the island right on time.

Kurama tried to look for the way out of the island, like what Rui said to him it would be safer to pass by the mountains to get out of the island. He was successful in not being caught by the ice maidens by the help of Rui, but he had to go and leave the island on his own. There was strong snow, and it was very cold, Kurama didn't have much strength to keep himself warm now. He only had the energy to keep himself alive until a minimum time.
"Gods, I don't think I can survive this cold. Hiei I am sorry if I won't to see you again, I tired my best in coming back, but this storm is too strong, I don't have any spirit energy left to keep myself even just warm." Kurama said to himself helplessly.
Kurama tried his hardest to get out of the island, but he was too weak to do so. He fell in his knees, he was very pale. He needed to rest in a warm place even just for a while. Soon he found a small cave, he went onside the cave, he found the cave warm and dry, and so he stayed in there. He rested there for a while, and then he slowly drifted to sleep.
In the cave, it was dark, but it was warm and dry. It may be rough to stay there but Kurama didn't mind, he was too weak to even notice that he just fell asleep. By sunrise, he is going to wake up.
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
It was nearly morning, only a few hours before the sunrise. Hiei was close to his target, only a few more minutes and he was on the island. He jumped from rock to rock; he felt a sudden shiver, because it was cold. He can be sure of it now, he was in the island.
"I might as well pass the mountains instead; I need to avoid getting caught." Hiei told himself.
Hiei avoided to pass the way to the village and he passed by the mountains, like what Yusuke said, he was being held captive, and he presume the Koorime's would have kept him captive in a tower till his execution. In addition, the mountains were close enough to the tower.
Hiei walked through the recently melted snow, passing through the mountains, then he suddenly sensed spirit energy, it was low but he guaranteed it was spirit energy of a person; he followed where the spirit energy was until he got to it.
Hiei was following the spirit energy, and then it leaded him to a cave. It was small and dark, but with his Jagan eye, he could see someone inside there. Hiei went inside the cave, and he was surprised to see who it was, it was Kurama, he was lying on the ground, he looked like a mess, but at least he was still fine and alive.
Hiei's eyes widen when he saw it was Kurama, he carried Kurama out of the cave, and tried to wake him up.
"Kurama, wake up." Hiei said waking up Kurama.
Kurama wouldn't wake up.
"Kurama." Hiei was pushing the body of Kurama gently to wake up.
Still Kurama didn't wake up.
"Kurama! WAKE UP!" Hiei yelled, he grew impatient. He was about to slap Kurama on his face when Kurama started to wake up slowly.
"Kurama?" Hiei questioned.
Kurama made some weird noises, and slowly he woke up. Kurama's eyes were open, and he was surprised to see the person who rescued him, it was Hiei.
"Hiei?" Kurama's voice was still weak. Nevertheless, once he saw Hiei, he became happy, he forgot about the pain he was experiencing now, and grab hold of Hiei quickly and hugged him tight.
"Kurama…" Hiei didn't expect the hug, then he began to hug his friend tightly as well, he was also worried sick for his friend, and he missed him.
"Hiei, when did you get here? I guess Yusuke and the others managed to give back all your Tear gems." Kurama made a slight laugh.
"You baka-kitsune! What kind of mess have you got yourself into again huh? Why did you have to go risking your life! Your such a stupid fox!" Hiei began his lecturing.
Kurama smiled, he knew that his friend was only concerned for him. Then both of them stood up, Kurama was wobbling when he stood up but he got his balance back.
"We need to go back now; your mother is worried about you." Hiei said plainly.
"Alright." Kurama agreed and grab hold of his friend's hand holding it tightly.
"What the heck are you doing fox?" Hiei wondered what Kurama was doing.
"I don't ever want to loose you again so I am going to hand your hand as tight as I can and won't let go of it." Kurama said, he was blushing badly, he tried to cover it but he was unsuccessful.
"Hn, if you insist." Hiei let Kurama hold his hand going back; he also wanted to hold the hand of Kurama.
Both of them left the island hand in hand. Kurama told Hiei what happened to him when he was held captive in the island. And what Rui did to help him. Hiei would attempt to kill the Koorime's again, after what they did to Kurama, but Kurama would stop him. They went home together, it was a good thing there were only low life demons who came and tried to attack them, not like the A or S class demons, its not like they couldn't protect themselves, in fact both Kurama and Hiei were S class demons they were very powerful, but Kurama was too weak to fight.
"Hiei, how did you react when you found out…you know the Koorime thing?" Kurama asked.
"Hn?"
"Your reaction?" Kurama repeated.
"You don't need to know." Hiei said apathetically.
"Tell me please?" Kurama forced him.
"You don't need to know fox, it's the past."
"Hiei, I want to know. I told you my story and now I want to hear your side." Kurama said.
"Hmph, what do you think?"
"I don't know, it's your reaction after all."
"Isn't it obvious? Of course I was worried about you, not only that I was afraid." Hiei admitted, Hiei blushed, and it was a good thing he was good in hiding it..
"Really, why?" Kurama forced Hiei to tell him the reason.
"Tsk! Fox, you don't need to know what I felt so, quit bothering me." Hiei was annoyed.
"Okay, if you insist." Kurama wasn't disappointed after all he was playing with his friend; he was getting the chance to tell Hiei his feelings for him. He just needed perfect timing. They were still holding each other's hands; one hand of Hiei was inside his pockets and Kurama's other hand was free.
They became quiet for a while, as they were walking their way back to Ningenkai. Then Kurama broke the silence.
"Hiei…uh…I need to tell you something really important…" Kurama began.
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
"It's a good thing Kurama and Hiei finally saw their each other, now that they are back together Kurama is about to tell Hiei what he really feels about him." Yomi started.
"I know." Mukuro said smiling.
"Do you know what the Koorime's meant by Hiei will be carrying something dangerous once he is united with Kurama?" Yomi asked.
"I think they meant what Hiei inherited from those bitches." Mukuro was unsure.
"What is that?" The blind man wondered.
"I am not sure, sounds trouble."
Forgetting about the previous question, Yomi asked a question a child would normally ask after reading a fairy tale story.
"Do you think this is a happy ending?" Yomi turned to Mukuro
"You sound like a child you know." Mukuro stopped "Lets see." Mukuro said.

Black Dragon Tsubasa: I am in the end of my story! Yey!
