Chapter 5

"We should just go and get her now," demanded a cocky familiar voice.

"No, we have to wait until she's alone," countered a deeper voice that was also familiar.

Natashi sat up in her bed and looked around her room as the morning sun shined through her blinds. After ten minutes of silence she felt so lonely but she got up and began to get dressed. She had to get ready for her chorus class that she instructed at the college she worked for. Her brother didn't want her to work as a chorus instructed but she didn't listen to him and took the job bringing Amaterasu with her.

She and Amaterasu started to leave but then Natashi turned to her other dogs and called them over, "Come here you two."

Wind and Bruce both bounded to her and she latched their leashes to their collar and led them to her car. Putting all of them into her car she started up her car and drove in the opposite direction of the college. She didn't know why she decided not to go to work nor did she know where she was going. Natashi felt like she was in a fog and someone was driving the car for her.

Natashi woke disoriented and confused in a familiar room. Amatersu was laying by her side and whined to her letting her know she was safe. Natashi petted the loyal husky wolf mix on the head and went to the sliding door and tried to open it only find it locked. She tried to push on the paper but found that it wouldn't break. Finally she screamed, "Let me out of here!"

She heard barking and scrapping claws on wood as her two other dogs ran towards the room she was in. They began barking at the door to be let in and then she heard another familiar voice.

"Alright I'll let you see your master," said a quiet giggling voice.

Natashi stared wide eyed as short aqua haired girl in a blue kimono let Wind and Bruce in. She shuttered as she said the first name that came to her mind, "Yu-yukina?"

The young girl looked at her surprised and asked, "Do you remember me?"

Natashi holds her head and winces as if in pain, "I-I don't know…"

"Hang on; I'll go get the doctor."

"Wait! Where am I?"

With a smile she said, "You're home, in Japan."

Natashi could only stare at the doorway as Yukina walked away as thousands of questions flew through her. Like how did she know that girl, why did her brother lie to her, and why was she back in Japan? Just as Yukina and man came into view Natashi fainted.

Natashi woke up to a most familiar scene of familiar face waiting for her to wake. Slowly sitting up she watched the people around her and asked, "Who are y'all people?"

Yukina smiled and started as each one of the people waved to her, "This is Yusuke Urameshi, Kazuma Kuwabara, Genkai, Hiei Jaganish, and Scott Taylor. Don't worry you're home."

"Home?"

"I think I better explain," Scott told her.

Natashi suddenly asked, "Does this have to do my dreams?"

"Actually those are memories; they're resurfacing after four years of being erased. You see four years ago you were out training with Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei but you didn't come back with them instead you went with Kurama-"

"Kurama! Youko Kurama!" Natashi cried as her three dogs came over to her.

Scott quickly made everyone leave before he continued, "Natashi, Kurama was your fiancée before we had to erase your memory."

"My…fiancée?"

"Yes, when-"

Natashi quickly cut him off, "I-I recently remembered that day. J-just what happened a-after that?"

"He brought you into the hospital, he was really worried about you, but when I examined and ran test on you I couldn't find anything. So after weeks of test I finally called a friend in the States to ask his opinion. He told me to restart your memory and it worked. I ran the tests again and found the reason for your disease but when I went to go tell you, you were gone."

"…I remember that…My brother took me to the States and…that's when I began my singing career."

"Kurama started looking for you when he saw you in one of your concert."

"Aden was angry when I started but I retired after three years."

"Your brother was always very protective of you when he heard you were in the hospital he believed Kurama caused it but it was a genetic defect. Your cousin Yamakaza, she's your identical cousin, that same gene became active right after you left. Since I was already working on fixing the defect gene I was able fix the gene in her."

"D-did you fix mine?"

"I did. You remember when you got the check up from that nasty doctor?"

"Yes, he's very straight forward." (A/n: reference to 'House' one of my favorite shows.)

"I asked him to give you the shot that you need to fix the gene since your brother didn't want me anywhere near you."

"So…the life I was living for four years was a lie?"

"Yes…I'm sorry Natashi."
