A/N-I FELL SO BAD! I said I would post this last night, but I ran out of time :( I'll try to post on a weekly basis at least, but I have three other stories going on right now(Although one of them will be going up for adoption soon)and have very little free time. Anyway, here's the first actual chapter!
Chapter One
Kana's POV
I rolled off the roof in the morning, causing my sore muscles to ache from the previous night. What I said was true. My attitude had changed since I met Hiei and I started training with him being the teacher. I had gotten cockier and louder than I once was. Either way, there was one person I have always wanted to meet, and Hiei was getting me closer to my goal. I had only once chance, most likely. Little did Hiei know, but I could of easily beat him the night before. His attacks had been planned in a pattern, but a rather easy one once you discovered it. I only kept running to build stamina and to annoy him. Usually he didn't get annoyed, but when he did, it was always an enjoyable experience.
A yawn escaped my mouth as I watched the sun rise from the ground. I walked into the warehouse and moved towards the burned bed. I don't even know why I had this thing in here-all it did was get in the way of my training and I didn't even sleep on it. Though it did make a pretty good plant bed. I just smiled and walked over to one of the walls, where a huge group of tally marks covered a small portion of the wall. Eighteen groups of five and three separate ones. I added one to the separate ones and counted. 64. Six more lessons until the day I was going to quit training. Of course, Hiei didn't know that. I was planning to do that tonight at practice.
"Or maybe now," I said aloud. "Hello Hiei."
"Hn," said the fire demon, hopping down from a hole in the roof. "I was hoping to catch you off guard."
"I heard you when you jumped on the roof. I also saw you hiding in one of the trees outside. If you were really trying to catch me off guard, you must be more silent and hide somewhere I would not expect you to be," I replied.
"Very observant," replied my teacher, looking around the warehouse that had become my home for the last few months. Burns and holes covered every inch. That's the problem when your home is also your training area.
I cleared my throat. "So why are you here?"
"You're right. It's time that you go on your own," he said turning towards the door. "Tonight will be your last practice. Expect a test."
I nodded and turned away. "I will be ready. I've been ready. I will not take it easy on you like I have been."
Hiei smiled. "I should've known that you would of been holding back."
"Strategy," I replied. "If I take it easy on you, I can cream you later and earn more training."
"You remind me of someone I know," muttered Hiei. Any other demon would not of heard, but I did.
"I know," I said under my breath, then aloud replied. "Leave me so I may 'study'."
"Hn," replied the demon as he ran away, using his demonic speed to leave.
I went over to my 'bed' where I had hidden a picture. It showed a human, or at least what appeared to be a human, with red hair and fair skin. Emerald eyes shot from the picture, calculating and figuring. A red rose in full bloom was held in his right hand, ready to be used for his favorite weapon.
I smiled. "I will meet you soon," I spoke, putting the picture I had taken myself back in the bed. A small orb of Spirit energy gathered in my hand. I shot it at the bed I never used. I would no longer be needing the picture after I passed my test.
A/N- Please tell me how I'm doing! I hope these chapters aren't too short-I try to end my stories at somewhat of a cliffhanger. R&R!
