When she looked him in the eyes, she read nothing but confusion, "Do you even know who you are?"

He just stared back at her with wide eyes. She withheld a giggle at the child-like expression on his face. 'And I thought he couldn't get any cuter' She thought. As that thought crossed her mind a blush spread across the dumbfounded Hiei's face.

He stared at her in wonder, "How did you do that?" "Do What?" She asked. "You just talked without moving your mouth." He answered not bothering to mention what she had said. A nervous look swept across her already upset face. 'Oh dear it looks like his Jagan is still active.' She thought. "My what?" She sighed.

Kurama sat alone in his room at Genkai's temple. He had lived there for several years now, after convincing his mother that it was a dormitory for a college nearby. Of course that had only been partly true. There was a college nearby, and he never said he was going to the college. He had felt terrible for lying to her but the truth would probably hurt her more.

At this time he was thinking of a certain blue-haired ice maiden, though knowing Hiei would have his head should he try. A powerful flood of emotion and longing came every time she entered his mind. He adored everything about her. Her smile, her innocence, her determination; he had never really known what love truly felt like, though he spoke of it constantly. Surely this was the real thing. He just wasn't sure how he could convince Hiei that he was good for Yukina. Or even if he was able too, would Yukina accept him? He had never feared rejection so badly.

He stuffed his face in the pillow and sighed. 'She will never love me.' A knock at the door forced Kurama from his place. He fixed his hair and rubbed his eyes before walking to the door and answering. "Oh Yukina. How may I help you?" He asked, genuinely delighted by the sight of her at his door. She smiled shyly, a pink tint rising to her face.

"Hello Kurama, I was wondering if we could…" she stopped herself as her face turned several shades of red, "I mean would you like some tea?" she sighed. 'This is so hard, Kazuma made it seem so easy to do.'

She remembered back to the talk she had with Kuwabara in the park just a few days back. He had finally gotten the nerve to ask her out and she asked him why. That lead t o a conversation about love and how it felt to be in love. "I think I'm in love with Kurama then…" She had told him immediately regretting it when she say his face fall in disgrace. She automatically apologized but he said there was no need. After that he gave her suggestions to help her find out if Kurama felt the same. "Thank you so much Kazuma, your such a great friend." She exclaimed as she hugged him.

Kurama smiled half-heartedly, hoping she had had more to say. "Sure." he replied as he stepped through and closed the door behind him. 'I can dream I suppose' He thought as he walked at Yukina's side down the hall. The silence was soon interrupted by a distressed Botan running down the hall. "Kurama! Kurama! Help, there is something wrong with Hiei!" Kurama let out a frustrated sigh. 'It never ends'

Kurama entered the room expecting there to be blood, or at least an unconscious Hiei. Instead there he sat in bed looking around with a seemingly interminable dumbstruck look across his face. Kurama arched a eyebrow at this. It wasn't like Hiei to show weakness, and confusion was a definite weakness.

"Hiei? Are You Alright." Hiei looked up at him. After speaking with Botan he learned that was his name and that she was a good friend of his, worthy of trust. 'I'm lucky for that, she's very beautiful.' he thought. He felt jealousy spike a little when Kurama came in but concealed it. He was in no position to fight for what didn't belong to him. Kurama checked his vital signs and began asking questions.

"Do you remember anything at all?" He started

Hiei shook his head.

"Do any of us look familiar."

Hiei nodded slightly, which told him that his memories were simply locked away and would take time to return. It also told him that someone would have to take care of him until then.

"Which of us do you feel most comfortable with?"

Hiei grasped at Botan's hand. She blushed a little at the warm feeling and simultaneous shivers it sent throughout her entire body. Kurama smirked. 'Even without any memory of her he still feels a connection.' "Well Botan I guess you will have to take care of Hiei while he is recovering." Kurama said. Her eyes widened, "But Kurama, I can't take care of him I have work to do, and besides all we have to do is show him around and be there if he has questions, right? He isn't injured." she pleaded. A hurt look swept across Hiei's face as he gripped her hand a little tighter. Botan looked at him and sighed. 'I suppose Koenma would give me the time off to take care of Hiei. He is an important member of the team.' "Alright."

Kurama turned and walked out of the room with Yukina. "Are you sure he'll be alright?" she asked, concerned. "Yes, the fact that he recognizes us, even if he doesn't know where from, tells me it's only a matter of time before his memories return. He probably just hit his head." He grinned at the peculiarity of the statement. 'Hiei being overcome by a simple knock on the head.'

"Alright then Hiei, are you hungry?" Botan asked with forced enthusiasm. He shook his head and pulled her onto the bed to sit beside him. "You need anything at all?" He shook his head again pulling her closer to him. 'I wonder why he hasn't spoken yet. It's not like he's deaf, and he understands us.' She turned to look him in the eyes. "How come your not talking?" She asked as she neared his face. He blinked. 'Good question' "I don't know." He said. She smiled nervously. 'this is gonna be fun.'

"Hey man, I'm sorry about Yukina." Yusuke said to a slouched over Kuwabara. "It's alright. I just could've sworn it would work out between us." Yusuke sighed. He knew it wouldn't have. It wasn't so much Kuwabara as it was Yukina. She always had an admiring look when Kurama came around. To Yusuke the attraction had been obvious, he'd seen it in Keiko's eyes.

Looking over at his friend an idea popped into his head. "Hey, I've got an idea! Let's hit the arcade." He said hoping it would get his mind off the ice maiden. Even being over 21 years old they both still loved to play video games, even if it got them weird stares from the children and mothers there. "I don't know Urameshi, I'm not really up for it right now." Kuwabara replied, still looking at the ground. "Oh come on, You just know I'll beat you." Yusuke teased. Kuwabara huffed in distress. "Maybe tomorrow." He said as he walked away. "But…"

'I've got to figure out something to get him out of this rut.' Yusuke thought as he watched his friend walk away.

Kuwabara had been walking for so long that darkness had taken over the city. He hadn't even realized he it until someone bumped into him and brought him from his stupor. It was then he also realized he was lost. Looking down he saw that the person had fallen down. A girl with short chocolate-colored hair and eyes like molten gold looked up at him, with a surprised expression. "Oh sorry about that." She said.

Botan took in a deep breath. Only a few hours and Hiei had already become a hassle. His constant questions left her winded from endless explanations. Hiei left out a little snore. 'Well at least he's asleep now.' She said. She was beginning to understand why Hiei always told her to shut up. It was so irritating, but she was glad he trusted her enough. She wondered if that meant he trusted her before, or even thought of her as a friend. 'Oh that's silly. Hiei doesn't believe in friends.' She sighed again and stood up. 'I guess I can go take a shower while he's sleeping.' She took one more look at him before leaving the room.

Kurama left Yukina deciding it was about time for him to start getting ready for bed. Then something hit him. 'Where is Kuwabara?' Yusuke had returned two hours before, but Kuwabara was nowhere in sight. Lost in thought he didn't see Botan backing out of Hiei's room. "Oh hello Kurama." She said a little tired. "Hello Botan, how is everything going with Hiei?" He replied noting the exasperated look on her face. "It's alright, I'm just not used to Hiei talking so much." She giggled, "Tomorrow I think I'll take him to the park I found him at and see if anything rings a bell." Kurama nodded. "That sounds like a good idea. Goodnight Botan." "Goodnight Kurama." He turned to walk away. "Oh wait have you seen Kuwabara. I haven't seen him all day."

He asked her. "No but I'm sure he's fine." She said as she smiled and walked into her room. 'I hope your right.'

Kuwabara stared into her eyes, so lost in them he didn't even realize she was asking him for help. "Excuse me." She said, "Are you ok?" She had managed to stand on her own, but still had to look up to him as she only stood just below his chest. "Hello?" She said as she waved a hand in his face. He snapped out of it, "O-oh. Hi I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?" She shook her head. "No I'm fine. Are you ok though? You kinda spaced out there for a while." She smiled as sweet as she could. "Uh yeah I'm fine." He replied nervously.

She smiled again and looked down to find she'd splattered mud all over her pants. "Oi, crap. And I love these pants. Oh well, I'll just have to rinse them out when I get home." She said, talking to herself. "Um, would you like someone to walk you. It's getting dark and bad stuff happens to pretty girls when it gets dark." Kuwabara said nervously. 'Oh crap why did I just say that.' He though mentally slapping himself for speaking at all. "Uh well I'm a big girl I can take care of myself." She said, "but I suppose it won't kill me to have some company."

She picked up her notebook which had fallen a couple feet away, before turning around with an outstretched hand. "What's your name?" He took her hand timidly and replied, "Kazuma Kuwabara. Yours?" "Damia Camiara."
