Thanks Sly!
Oh, and if your wondering, the story is completely Hiei's POV, until they finally 'meet' Nina.
"But...That's not possible…" Kurama said, uncertainty clouding his eyes.
"Actually, it's very possible, and Nina is living proof of that. You see, her father, being a mixture of fire and darkness, met an ice maiden, and together, they had a child. True as it may for an ice maiden to conceive a child, the mother was killed, but not after the child was born. This was actually very lucky if you think about it, because her father, at that time, was the only darkness demon at the time. He died shortly after Nina was born. So, Nina became a forbidden child, threw off the cliff, and every thought her dead. Yukina, I believe you may have heard of her, as the first ever forbidden child." Dumbledore said calmly, almost as if recalling an amusing story.
Yukina nodded however, eyes wide.
None of this was news to Hiei however, because he had heard all this before, but from Nina herself, so it was in much greater detail. He zoned out completely, and began thinking about the information he just learned.
Nina had lost her memory completely. She wouldn't remember anything of her past. Nothing. Not even him.
Damn this. Dammit it all. Hiei thought angrily to himself. He hated this stupid mission. He hated Koenma for assigning it in the first place. He hated this stupid Dumbledore person, what did he know of the ice maidens? But most of all, he hated himself. He hated himself for letting this happen to Nina, and ever meeting her. He hated himself for falling in love with her. And he hated himself for leaving her for dead.
He never should have fallen for her. Never. He should have known that nether of them wouldn't gain anything from it. How could he have been so /stupid? And then…/they/ came. The warriors from the Ice village where he was born. They had said that Nina had done a terrible wrong, by helping him survive, and now they would kill them both.
But, Nina had protected him one last time. "Run!" She had yelled at him. "Run! I'll hold them off!" "No, I can help, I can fight!" Hiei had yelled back, panic flooding him. Were they going to die like this? "No, get out of here!" Nina screamed, throwing her hand up, as the door flew open behind Hiei, and he felt himself being thrown out. As he lay on the clay earth several yards away, he stared at the house. 'How could she have done that?' He thought angrily, and stood, making to run toward the house. But then, Nina had used the attack. The one that he had never dreamed about using back then, but had used several times in the present. The Dragon Wave. It had consumed Nina, and totally destroyed her, and the attackers. That was the last time Hiei had ever seen her. And now, as he stood in the alleyway, rage flooded him.
How could she have survived that attack? It nearly wiped him out before! And how come she never searched for him, if she had been alive all this time? That had been at least five centuries ago/why/ had she never bothered to search for him, if she really had loved him?
"Oh, one more thing. You no longer need to keep watch over Cho Chang. Her parents have moved her elsewhere, and gone into hiding as well. Voldemort thought he could get Harry if he used Cho, but, he was wrong. He finally discovered Harry no longer had feelings for her. So, that being said, I shall take my leave." Dumbledore said, turning. "Oh, and you will need this." Dumbledore said turning, and dropping three bags of gold into each of their hands. "Good day."
TBC.
A/N- I have no excuse for the late update…just writers block and laziness. Oh, and I'm grounded all summer, so don't expect much updates, if any.
