Yusuke: Wolfie! You're back! Where's Hiei?
Wolfie: Not so loud. I'm still hiding from him. (Grabs laptop and hides in the closet)
Hiei: (Enters) Where is she? I know she's here.
Kuwabara: Who? I don't see any of the girls here. Who are you looking for? (Looks around naively)
Hiei: You know exactly who I'm talking about! That damn onna!
(Kurama enters with Botan following him)
Kurama: Hello everyone, did I miss anything important?
Botan: Why is Wolfie hiding in the…
(Yusuke covers her mouth)
Yusuke: Shh! Hiei is searching for her because of her last chapter.
Kurama: What did she do this time?
(Yusuke began to explain what happened in the last chapter)
Chapter 6: Training Continued and Girls Attacked!
The next morning when the girls woke up the got ready and went down to breakfast. "So I guess it's us against Kurama and Hiei today? Who do you think you're gonna fight first?" Hawk asked as they walked down the hall into the kitchen. Raven shrugged and turned the corner. Sitting there on the table was a huge breakfast with French toast, cereal, biscuits and gravy, sausage and bacon and eggs. Being the first ones there Kurama invited them to 'dig in'. The girls thanked him and began eating a little of everything before the boys showed up: Hiei from outside, probably training, Yusuke and Kuwabara from the rooms, still half asleep, and Yukina from out in the garden area.
(After breakfast)
The girls were led back out into the training area by The fox and the fire demon. "Okay, Hawk will be fighting with Hiei while I test Ravens skills. Afterwards we'll switch to see how well you do under the different conditions and fighters. When that is done I want to see how well you fight against each other. Is that understood?" Kurama said calmly. The girls nodded and followed their opponents to opposite sides of the field.
(Raven Vs. Kurama)
(Raven's P.O.V)
"So what is your challenge? Don't you play with plants or something like that?" I asked sarcastically, not really expecting an answer. "As a matter of fact, yes. I use plants during battle." He replied and pulled a rose out of his hair. 'Shit, me and my big mouth. When will I ever learn to be quiet?' I mentally scolded myself. "Rose Whip." Kurama yelled and like he said, the rose turned to take the form of a whip. "Dodge me." He said and swung the whip in my direction. I leapt to the left to avoid getting hit. "Good. Keep going." He complimented and swung again. I jumped in the air to avoid it and rolled to the right as it came back down on me. This continued for another half hour until my body became sore from the wounds that were still healing and the whip came down on my back painfully when I failed to avoid it. When he tried to help me, I just shrugged him off. Before I looked away I saw the apology on his face. I gave him a small smile in reassurance. He kindly returned it with a small one of his own.
"that's enough for now, then. You still have to fight Hiei in a few minutes. Just rest until then." The blasted fox said while handing me a water bottle. As I took a drink, I felt what I knew to be blood sliding down my back. Ignoring it I leaned back against a tree and closed my eyes.
(Hawk Vs. Hiei)
(Hiei's P.O.V.)
The shojo and I walked to the other side of the clearing, giving both us and the other two plenty of room to battle. "So what are we doing today, Oh, Great Hiei Jaganshi of the Jagan eye." The girl asked. I resisted the urge to cut her tongue out of her foul mouth. She had to of gotten her personality from her mother, because, unfortunately she still has the same scent as her father. Only she smells like the morning air after a light rain. Clean, Crisp.
"We are not doing anything. You are going to try and catch me. That damn fox ordered me to test your speed while he test your reflexes." I told her with a smirk. 'This is going to be fun.' I decided and tossed her a bamboo sword and grabbed one for myself. "You are to block all my attacks. If you don't you will obviously be hit. Any questions?" I asked. As she opened her mouth I flew towards her trying to hit the girl.
We continued to do this until I heard the slap of a whip against flesh. I jumped away from my opponent while I looked over at my charge. Raven was knelt on the ground with Kurama. 'That damn fox. If he did any major damage, I'm gonna kill him. And Raven, as much worry as she causes me, I am gonna lock up where she can finish healing before she fights again.' I decided, cursing everything.
"Hiei? Are you done?" Hawk asked me. 'Baka shojo.' I mentally sneered. I gave her a little shake of my head and attacked again. This time even fiercer. It only took a minute for her to actually lose sight of me. I continued to attack, leaving large welts where my training sword hit. After she was on the ground I declared our fight over and went to Raven's aid.
(End Fight scene)
(Still Hiei's P.O.V.)
--Raven are you alright?-- I asked her smelling fresh blood. Not much, but I still wanted to check on her. --Yeah, Hiei. I'm fine. Just resting for our fight remember?-- She said and I could tell that she was tired. 'Shade may be dead, but that doesn't mean that his daughter needs to follow him because I pushed her too hard. I will keep my promise.' I swore to myself. --How bad did that fox get your back? I know from experience that if he wanted to he could do some damage.-- I demanded, looking over at said fox who was rubbing some kind of cream on Hawks welts.
--I'm fine Hiei.--She replied harshly. --I'm just a little sore. That's all.-- I knew something was wrong when she was talking like that. She's too strong to allow others to know any weakness. --Come on. We'll continue our training elsewhere.-- I told her and began to walk off.
Looking back, I saw that she hesitated as she got up. Her back was hurting her but she would never admit it. 'Baka onna.' I said to myself and continued walking before I took my anger out on the fox. I could feel Raven's eyes glaring into my back as we walked through the forest. --Hiei, where are we going exactly?-- she asked trying keep up with me. I smirked as she stayed precisely one step behind me, even if it meant me speeding up. --Nowhere. Just keep up with me if you can.-- I challenged and took off at a jog. Raven matched my pace and pulled up next to me. I continued to increase my speed until the two of us were running all out. Even injured, she was able to make three full laps around Koenma's palace before falling.
(Third Person P.O.V.)
Raven fell after three complete laps and forced herself to get up and keep going. 'What the hell is he doing? We passed this place three times already. Is he taking me in circles?' She wondered and took off running again following the demon's energy signal, that he, oh so kindly, allowed her to notice. Once she had reached it she found herself back at the clearing. She sent Hiei, who was relaxing in a tree, the meanest glare that she could manage and watched the ending of Hawk's fight.
(Hawk Vs. Kurama)
(Hawk's P.O.V)
'Wonder where they are going?' I mused before turning to my 'incredibly handsome' opponent (A/N: Her thoughts not mine. Though she is right, he is kind of good looking, don't cha think? Shutting up now). "So I just have to dodge your attacks right?" I asked recalling the details from Raven's fight. At least the parts I could observe over Hiei's attacks. "Correct." He said pulling out a rose. I watched the beginning of my sister's fight so I was not surprised to see it turned into a whip. "Go." we said together and he began attacking while I dodged all of his attacks. It continued this way until Hiei and Raven returned.
(Third Person P.O.V.)
"Alright. Now Hawk, I want to see you and Raven battle against one another." Kurama stated returning the rose to wherever it came from. "Why should we?" Raven asked defensively. Kurama let out a tired sigh. "Because you are each other's greatest opponents. Each knows how the other fights. Their strengths and weaknesses, etc…" Kurama began to explain when they heard a scream come from the mansion.
The four fighters took a millisecond to look at each other before one word came to mind. Yukina. Everyone took off at lightning speed, almost literally, towards the building. All four worried for the girl and feared seeing what happened when they actually got a hold of her attacker.
Every one managed to reach the house at around the same time. Two C class demons guarded the doors, but Hiei made short work of them. Inside, there were near twenty demons moving towards the girls with the two idiots knocked out on the floor. "Get the FUCK away from them!" Raven yelled and Hawk instantly knew that they were in for it. Raven never yells without a good reason. "And if we don't?" One of them asked. "Ask a stupid question…" The older girl smirked as Hiei sliced three of the demons into hundreds of pieces. "Get a deadly answer." She finished and all the remaining demons began to back away. "Now you die." Hiei whispered. All that was heard from the house was the dieing screams of the intruders.
After said intruders became millions of bloody pieces of flesh, blood and bone, courtesy of two very protective demons and the girls. Yukina rushed up to Hiei and threw her arms around his neck, crying softly. Hiei, startled, wrapped his arms around her back and began to murmur something to her that the others couldn't hear. Keiko ran to Yusuke after thanking her saviors.
A few moments later Yukina pulled away and looked down. "I'm sorry Hiei, I should not have put you in that position. It was wrong of me. Please forgive me?" She asked bowing her head. Raven watched the conflict in his eyes as he replied. "Hn. There is nothing to forgive." He whispered before disappearing towards what Raven believed to be the hallway to Koenma's office. Then again, the rooms shared that same hall.
"Miss Raven are you alright?" Yukina asked interrupting her thoughts. "Yeah Yukina, and please, no formalities." She said gently. 'I don't know how anyone could think of harming something so innocent. If I had to compare her to something it would have to be a lost Unicorn.' Raven thought to herself before discretely picking up the few tear gems that fell to the floor. ((A/N: Unicorns are the symbol of pure innocence. They do not know pain, fear, loss, jealousy or hatred because it was never introduced to them. Their hearts are truly pure. That is what Raven is referring to when she compares Yukina to Unicorns. Child-like innocence.))
Raven slipped away to her room, ignoring the worried look that she had received moments before from her sister. 'Someone needs to complain to Koenma about his security. Or there lack of.' She grumbled to her self before climbing into the comfort of the shower. Washing away dirt, grime, sweat and blood. She climbed out, bandaging the wounds Kurama had inflicted on her before falling asleep on her bed for a short nap.
Kurama: She what? (After Story)
(Yusuke began to repeat everything that he just said)
Kurama: I know Yusuke I was asking a rhetorical question.
Yusuke: Just don't tell shorty where she's hiding
Hiei: and where would that be? (insert evil chuckling here)
Kuwabara: In the closet. Why?
Wolfie: SHIT! DAMMIT KUWABAKA! (Jumps out of the closet) WHY DID YOU TELL HIM?!
Kuwabara: He asked me where you were.
Wolfie: You couldn't play stupid for once? (knocks Kuwabaka out and backs towards the door) I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you to Rose of Death for your review. Please R&R. Ja.(opens the door and runs)
Hiei: ONNA! (Runs out after her)
Yusuke: Not again.
Kurama: Again?
Yusuke: last chapter… See ya next chapter if Wolfie survives.
