Forgotten

You always confuse me with your attitude and your stupid ways.

You do pointless things like laugh at me and buy me things.

I hate it when you do that.

Give me something that I like and want nothing but my friendship in return.

What kind of fool are you?

You hug me, and often you like to press your lips against my cheek.

What kind of affection is this?

Being near you makes me feel...happy.

But I'm confused.

Constantly saying that you love me, whatever that means.

All of these things mean nothing to me.

But you constantly tell me that you care, I just don't understand.

I'm so confused...So I'll leave.

To another world; one where I can gather my thoughts.

When I tell you this, the look you give pains me to see.

Your eyes have become glossy and an empty smile comes to your soft lips.

For the first time in my life, I was sorry.

I don't mean to hurt your feelings like this, but I'm so lost with my feelings, I must return to the cold world I once called home.

I'll try to return to you, but I cannot promise it.

The time I spend away from you feels like eons.

Days feel like years; weeks like centuries, and eventually, I forget.

Your stupid antics, your pointless gifts, even your name is like a black void that is no longer apart of my memory.

To me you are...Forgotten.

Hiei flashed through the Makai forest, his crimson eyes scanning the area with each step. Simply being here in this world almost made him feel secure again. But there was something he was forgetting. Something or someone that he had promised to go back to...Back to where? Where was this...thing that he had promised to go back to..? A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he came to a halt on a thick tree. These thoughts constantly haunted him, making him recall a past that he couldn't remember. Over time, Hiei simply stopped thinking about his troubles and threw away his worries on murdering other demons. Then he got the greatest idea; steal one of King Enma's treasures. But he couldn't do it alone. He needed resources...Allies... It all started with a demon fox.

------------------------------

Here you are, sitting on my lap, accepting the sweet kisses that I plant onto your tender neck.

Although you give me no emotion, simply sitting here means enough to me.

Then you look to me and our lips meet accidentally.

To me, that was pure bliss; I wanted that moment to last forever.

But you pulled back and broke my heart.

"I'm leaving." were the last two words that I could remember.

I asked, begged, pleaded with my eyes, 'Why? Whatever I did to make you do this, forgive me. Don't leave me, please.'

All you said was that you couldn't stay and that you needed to rid yourselfof the confusion that you were swallowed in.

'Was it because of me?' My eyes asked sorrowfully.

You're hesitant, but your eyes answer my question.

'Yes. These feelings that you're constantly conveying to me are confusing me.

For these reasons, I am leaving.'

Suddenly, my heart breaks and I feel no emotion.

I'm fighting tears; giving you an empty smile.

Don't ask about me, I'm fine, just do like you said you would and leave.

Leave me before I pour my heart and soul onto you.

Please accept my false smile and leave me; but please promise me that you'll try to come back.

And you do.

You come back to me after seven whole months.

But... I can barely remember your name.

The rest is...Forgotten.

Yusuke sat atop Sarayashiki middle school lazily. His brown eyes almost seemed to glitter in the afternoon sun as they closed and faced the sun. Today seemed too quiet. Almost as if something was missing. His life felt suddenly empty and he had forgotten why. Someone he cared deeply about had left his life but he didn't know who. Suddenly, bright blue hair appeared before him, jolting the new spirit detective from his thoughts.

"Good morning Yusuke!" said the ever enthusiastic Botan.

"Tch." Yusuke grunted.

"Oh, come on, coming to school isn't that bad is it!" She smiled.

"Botan, to me, this is hell on earth! I'd rather be out fighting more demons or something." Yusuke sighed.

"As a matter of fact, that's what I came to see you about." Botan said.

"Oh yea?" Yusuke asked, sitting up.

"Yea. There were three demons who recently broke into the spirit world vault and stole King Enma's treasures. A demon named Goki who eats human souls, a fox demon hiding in a human body named Yokou Kurama, and a fire demon named Hiei." Botan explained.

"Hi..ei...?" Yusuke thought as his brow furrowed in thought. "That name sounds so...familiar..."

"Your mission is to find and retrieve the three artifacts before the next three days." Botan said.

"Three days!" Yusuke exclaimed.

"Yea, King Enma will return from his trip in the next three days, so we have to return them or else havoc will be unleashed upon the entire human world." Botan said seriously.

"Err..." Yusuke said nervously as he looked away. "Alright. I'll get these artifacts...but...what is it that keeps bothering me about that demon named Hiei...?" Yusuke thought to himself as he stood.

This mission was not going to be an easy task. It seemed as though Yusuke was restricted for time as he began his search for the three demons who hold King Enma's artifacts...

I know I know the chapter is short, but I have to plan these things out evenly! I have come to realize that it's harder then I thought to make a story off a story already made; especially when I have long since forgotten what happens in the VERY beginning of this story. X.x; argh. Ah well. I will live and whatnot. Thank you all for your reviews and stay with me as the story progresses with surprising twists and turns!
