heres the next chapter : Rude awaking


Serenity woke up from a very interesting dream that somehow involved Hiei in a dress, but she didn't know what to think of it. Before she opened her eyes, she tried to remember what had happened the night before. The last thing she remembered was Hiei having to talk to her, she would have to ask him what he needed. She tried to think about what it could be but she had a horrible headache and thinking made it worse.
Then she took notice of the most important fact.

Her pillow was moving.

Needless to say she freaked out, but can you blame the girl?
She didn't even open her eyes as she screamed, not wanting to see what was going on around her.

"Who the freak is screaming!" yelled Yusuke.
Serenity's eyes snapped open when she realized that Yusuke was her pillow.

Yusuke opened his eyes to see Serenity half way lying on his chest.
his head hurt, and he couldn't remember really anything after he walked into the club looking for Serenity. but one thing was clear.
it seems they found her.

then a thought hit him 'what if me and Serenity...' his eyes widened as he remembered dancing with her, but he blamed that on the drunkenness, he was hopelessly devoted to Keiko.

but he also screamed.

The door to the guess room was opened suddenly cutting off the screaming of the two, to reveal everyone laughing at them.

Kuwabara was laughing the most out of all of them, and Hiei wasn't really laughing, just standing there smiling a hint of a smile.

Seeing Hiei smile, even if it was briefly, caused Serenity's heart to jump, but it was gone as soon as she saw it. Then Kuwabara did the stupidest thing he could have done at the moment too two people with a hang over.
he turned on the light.

this small thing made both their headaches worse. in a poor attempt to hid herself from the light, Serenity turned and buried her face into the closet thing to her, which happened to be Yusuke, but at this moment she really didn't give a care.

Yusuke hating the light as well picked up the closet thing to him, which happened to be a book and chunked it at Kuwabara, which hit him square in the face.

The laughter in the room just grew.

then Yusuke yelled "shut off the freakin light before I kill you all"

Botan giggled as she turned off the light.
Hiei didn't really want to laugh, so he laughed mentally, while mentally cursing Yusuke as well, which he heard.

Serenity muttered her agreement about the light, then she suddenly lifted up her head and glared hard at Kurama, who was now smirking, and stuck her tongue at him. Before Yusuke could even give her a look she plainly said one word that made him understand.

"Yoko"

Botan reached over and pushed everyone out the door to let the two go back to sleep. they were fighting to stay awake now.
She giggled as she noticed that neither of them moved off the floor, which they were sleeping on to go to the bed.

within a few minuets they were sleep. then they wondered
would they freak out again when they woke up?

( 2 hours later)

Serenity slowly sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. she still had a horrible headache but the sleeping helped, even thought it didn't help tell her what happened the night before.

she sneezed. that's when she noticed that her demon senses were stuffed up.
'great' she thought 'I got a cold doing something that I don't know. wonderful'

she glanced back at Yusuke and laughed. yes he was a good friend and a great pillow, but he slept in the weirdest positions.

She made her way to the living room where she heard talking and the TV going.
she got a brief glimpse of Kurama and Botan holding hands whispering to each other before Botan saw her and dropped his hand and jumped up.

"why hello dear, how are you feeling?"

"well, my head is killing me, I cant remember what happened last night, and I'm-" she cut her self off by sneezing two times in a row.

"Oh you poor thing, you must have gotten a cold from running around in the rain. I'll get you some medicine. I would get Yukina since that would be faster but she had to go help Genkai. come with me."
Serenity followed her into the kitchen where she smelt hot chocolate and went over to the stove to pour herself some, while Botan looked for these pills.

" so it seems you and Kurama are getting along very nicely Botan" Serenity smiled as she watched the blush appear on the ferry girls face.
"yes well, that's kind of why I called you in here, Serenity."
"go on" she leaned back against the counter to get a better look at Botan who was now sitting on the floor.
"you don't mind if we, I mean me and him, be friends or-"
Serenity cut her off but leaning over and putting a hand on her shoulder and saying "you know it doesn't bother me that your dating my brother. go for it, he seems to like you." then she winked at her and smiled.

The worry that had been in Botan's eyes disappeared and she jumped up and hugged Serenity.
"oh thank you so much!"

Serenity just laughed "calm down and give me that stuff before I sneeze on you"

"Oh right" she leaned over and picked up the bottle off the floor and opened it and gave Serenity two weird looking pills.
"just swallow them with your hot chocolate and it should start working in a while."

Serenity did as she was told then followed Botan back into the living.
"and your headache is from the horrible hang over you have." said Shizuru
"hang over?"
"yea, you sure drank a lot Serenity, you and Urameshi drank about half the bar. you two were out of it so bad we just threw you both in the guest room"

her eyes widened, she didn't remember any of it.

She sat down in the only open seat and watched the news.

"early this morning the body of a unknown boy was found by the popular new club 'the demons den'. the security tapes showed a large animal attacking the young man. Scientist believe that it was a bobcat that-"

Kurama then decided to turn off the TV with a smile on his face. Yoko wasn't really happy to hear that they thought his kill had been done by a bobcat, one of the foxes worse enemies.

"can someone please inform me what happened last night?"
"you have no idea?"
"none what so ever. the only thing I remember is having a dream about Hiei in dress."

Kurama chocked on his drink. he looked over at Hiei who was sitting in the window with a scowl on his face, and just laughed harder.

Hiei glared harder before speaking.
"I can inform you that it was only a dream."

He was kind of upset this morning. Serenity didn't remember anything from last night.
he wanted her to remember his declaration of love, but not her running away from him.
he wanted her to remember their first kiss, but under different circumstances.
But he didn't show any of this, he refused to be weak.

But Serenity noticed. she noticed that he seemed sadder, his expression was the same as always, it was his eyes that seemed sadder, past everything else in his eyes.
Something good must have happened last night if he was sad that she didn't remember.
It hurt to think that she was the cause of his pain. she wished she could remember.

Then suddenly a heat filled her chest. she let out a gasp before she could stop herself.
Everyone was now staring at her, and it was this exact moment that Yusuke walked into he room from his nap.

She reached into her shirt and pulled out her necklace that she always wore, which was now starting to glow as well as get hotter.

she didn't blame anyone for looking at her now, she had no clue what was going on.

Then she felt the urge to go outside. so she turned and took off out the door in a blur.
everyone followed her as quickly as they could.

when they found her she was standing in the middle of the field, her locket was still glowing and wind had started to pick up around her.

then it flashed brightly.

"ow light! ow headache! ow sound! what the freak is going on?"

Serenity couldn't answer, she was being hit with memories.
Memories from last night, from when she was younger, from Yoko stealing the locket, and some from people she didn't even know.

'what the hell is going on fox?' Hiei yelled mentally at Kurama.
'her locket is reacting to her wish' Yoko replied.
'what wish?'
'to remember'

Serenity watched the memories play out in her mind, most bring tears to her eyes either from sadness, or laughter.

the last memories her locket showed her was herself sitting at the bar, she was crying silently, raising a bottle of pure vodka to her lips she whispered "I love you too Hiei, but I don't want to remember."

Then the memories released her, setting her down on her knees as she silently cried.
Everyone gathered around her, but she really couldn't see them.
they yelled her name, but she couldn't hear them.
that last memory had consumed her.
Hiei was starting to get worried. Serenity just sat there, her tears still came, and her eyes almost vacant.

He felt a tap on his shoulder. he turned and saw it was Kurama.
Kurama showed him the memory that had seemed to break her for the time being.

To say he was shocked would be a understatement, she loved him.

Then suddenly Serenity sneezed, snapping her own self out of the daze she had been in.
and the first thing she saw was Yusuke holding his head from his headache. his hair was unkept and messy.

"Yusuke you look better with your hair down like that"
"what kinda street punk would I be if I didn't grease back my hair? Keiko tells me i should keep it like this all the time" he rolled his eyes.
"but what fun would I have if I listened to her all the time"

"The kind that keeps you out of trouble Yusuke"
his eyes widened as he heard Keiko.
he turned around sharply
"H-hey Keiko, fancy meeting you here."

she just rolled her eyes and turned her attention towards Serenity.
"are you ok Serenity?"
Serenity blinked, she hadn't realized that she was still crying.
"more or less" she wiped away her tears with her hand.
she sneezed again, and caught a faint sent that she knew all to well.

"everyone get back!"

she jumped to her feet and pushed everyone back and stood in front of them.
"what's going on?" asked Botan.
Before Serenity had a chance to rely something exploded right were they had been standing moments before.

Serenity absorbed most of the blast.

a small crater was now in the middle of the yard. as the smoke began to clear you could see someone standing in the middle smiling.

"Hello Serenity" Kanji smirked.

Serenity could heard Kurama start to growl, and it became clear that Yoko was trying to break free.
Serenity just glared at Kanji and didn't move from her spot protecting her friends.

"miss me love?" Kanji jumped out of the hole he made and landed in front of Serenity. he reached out to cup her face, but she jerked her head away from, starting to growl herself.

"I thought I told you to go to hell"
Kanji pretended to look hurt.
"I'm shocked Seri, I thought you loved me"

The whole gang was watching now and listening very closely not knowing what to do and if they should interfere.
Yusuke and Kuwabara were holding back Kurama who was fighting to hold back Yoko.
Hiei and the girls were just standing there not knowing what to do.

"you see the key word in that was 'Loved'. now go crawl back to the pits of hell were you were born and leave me the hell alone"

"you wound me sweet. ah! Yoko what a surprise. I wasn't expecting to see you anytime soon. ah, and you must be the famous Hiei, the forbidden child, so nice to meet you face to-"

He stopped speaking due to the fact that there was a knife pointed at his neck.
"now Seri, that's a little harsh don't you think?"

Serenity pressed the knife she made harder to his neck, her eyes blazing.
"what I think is that you should leave him out of this."

He smiled a bone chilling smile.

"but don't you see? he's the cause of all this."
