-Disclaimers and such in first chaptie. Do enjoy, and please review afterwards! I don't know exactly what I'm doing here with the spirit energy awareness shtuff, soooo… bare with me please? And sorry about the uber late update. It's summer! I'm out doing… stuff. xD-

Abigail sat in the middle of the floor inside a large room in the temple with Kurama. A black bandana was wrapped around her eyes, preventing her from seeing anything at all. Kurama had been working with her for the past few weeks on her ability to sense people and their spirit energy. Kuwabara had been teaching her how to fight, and Genkai and Yusuke worked with her on how to use her spirit energy.

"You've gotten much better, Abby. But you still have some work to do. You'll be training with Hiei again tomorrow, so be prepared." Kurama spoke softly as he slowly circled around her.

"Alright." She agreed with a small nod, keeping an 'eye' on him as he circled her. In her mind, everything was black except that she could, in a sense, 'see' Kurama's red aura moving around her slowly.

"Stand up." He said softly, and she did as she was told, "You remember the new fighting stances Kuwabara taught you, correct?" he asked. Abby merely nodded as she brought her fists up just as Kuwabara had taught her 2 days ago. "Get ready."

A few seconds later the two were nearly at each other's throats. Kurama wasn't taking it easy on her, because Abby wouldn't let him. At first, Kurama was being very gentle with her, not wanting to take the chance of hurting her. But out of nowhere the other day, she began to attack him and he had no choice but to fight back. After an hour of this, they stopped and stood in front of each other, barely out of breath.

"Well…" Kurama spoke in a surprised voice, "You're doing great." He smiled. Abby reached up and pulled off her bandana, revealing a stern look. Her blue eyes seemed to be filled with anger or hatred. "Abby… are you okay?" he asked, taking a step towards her.

"No." she spoke coldly before turning away from him and walking out.

"Wait. Abigail!" Kurama called after her, but didn't follow her. He had never seen her so angry before, he didn't want to test it. "What could possibly be wrong..?"

*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/

Abby walked outside, the look of loathing written all over her face. She walked over to a tree, clenched up her fist, and punched it. Nothing happened to the tree of course, but then Abby fell to her knees and began to hit the ground, "Why won't you get the fuck out of my head?!" she yelled and punched the ground one last time. "I will find you Neo Shobi… you'll pay for what you did…" she muttered.

Hiei sat perched up on the temple, watching her. He sighed slightly before jumping down silently with the two practice swords in hand. He walked over to her and gently tapped the handle of one of the swords on her shoulder. Abby's head quickly spun to look at him. The look on her face softened slightly when she saw who it was.

"What?" she asked, trying not to snap at him, but failed at doing so.

"Take this. Follow me." He said, handing her one of the practice swords. She looked at it, then up at him, before taking the piece of bamboo out of his hand and standing up. She followed him again to the clearing in the forest, and they took their stances.

"No bandana?" she asked.

"No." he replied, prior to swinging at her. Abby blocked with ease, then swung on him. She knew she'd never be able to hit him, but she convinced herself that she would one day soon. Hiei disappeared into the trees, and Abby watched his red glow move around in the trees, then…

-Above…- she thought and quickly brought her sword up above her head to block Hiei's attack.

"Good." He said and… smiled? Abby couldn't help but smile back. They continued fighting hard, and Abby was set on getting him down on the ground. Finally, Abby smacked him in the back as hard as she could. In Hiei's surprise he didn't have enough time to react and next thing he knew he was flat on his back in the grass, Abby on top of him pinning his arms to the ground. She had also succeeded in knocking the sword from his hand. He looked up into her eyes, surprised. "How…?"

"Honestly? I don't know," she said and smiled, despite the surprise, "But I got you." She giggled, and then stopped once she felt a thud against her back and the familiar smell of the grass filled her nostrils. She opened her eyes, barely noticing that she had closed them, and looked up into Hiei's red eyes.

"You don't know?" he asked, "You have no clue how you moved that fast?" his eyes were cold and hard.

"N-no… I just… was trying to think how to get you down or at least hit you… and next thing I knew… I…" she frowned slightly, "Did I teleport or something?"

"No…" he said quietly, looking to the side, not really knowing. He hadn't even sensed her move. This girl was not only learning fast, but also learning new things.

"Hiei…" she spoke softly and Hiei quickly turned his attention to her, raising an eyebrow. "I don't mind being pinned, but if you could loosen your grip a little…" she said, blushing slightly. Hiei quickly got off of her and stood a few feet away, arms behind his back. Abby sighed and slowly stood up,

"Why do you keep getting close and then running off?" she asked.

"What?" Hiei glared over at her. She sighed and shook her head,

"Never mind. Forget it." She said, waving him off and picking up her practice sword, "I don't even know why I bother." She turned from him and started to walk out of the forest. Hiei watched her walk and hesitated slightly before following her, throwing his cloak on,

"What do you mean, onna?" he snapped.

"Every time. Every time I actually get a chance to look into those ruby eyes of yours or actually get close to you in a sense that doesn't involve violence, you end up running off for a couple days or at least not talking to me or training with me." She stated, and Hiei's face went blank. They continued to walk in silence, and Hiei could feel the tension coming off of her. He growled deeply and Abby quickly looked at him. His eyes were fixed ahead of them and his fists were obviously clenched in his cloak. "Hiei, I didn't mean to make you angry or…" she stopped speaking when she suddenly found herself pinned against a nearby tree. She looked confused into Hiei's fierce eyes.

"You didn't." he said strongly, before leaning into her and roughly pressing his lips against hers. Abby was shocked, but couldn't resist kissing him back. She dropped the bamboo and entangled her fingers in his hair as his hands grabbed her hips firmly. Hiei licked at her lips slightly, begging for entrance. She opened her mouth willingly and darted her tongue into his mouth. Hiei moved her a little higher onto the tree and wrapped her legs around his waist, pressing himself against her. She pulled away from their kiss and looked down at him,

"Wait Hiei…" she spoke softly.

"What?" he growled. This growl, unlike the others, sent shivers down her spine.

"I do have a bed. This tree's bark is kind of hurting my back." She chuckled.

"Hn… true… but I doubt you could keep quiet." He smirked, running his lips across her neck.

"I could try. I'd much prefer it in there then out here." She smiled. Hiei nodded and quickly moved her to carry her properly before darting off and up to her balcony. He gently set her down on her feet, allowing her to open her glass door. She did so and walked in with Hiei close behind her. She pulled the blankets on her bed down to the foot of it, before she was tackled to the bed, being kissed roughly. She smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around him. She pressed her hips against his and felt his excitement, making her smile more. Hiei pulled from the kiss, looking down at her smile,

"What?" he asked,

"I think it might be a little hard to keep quiet." She smirked. Hiei actually chuckled before kissing her again, pressing himself against her harder.

*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/

Abigail slowly opened her eyes to her sun lit room, and a small smile upon her face. She rolled over and her smile quickly faded… Hiei was gone. She sighed heavily and slowly sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Once her hands moved from her face and she opened her eyes, she saw someone she couldn't believe was actually there before her. Not Hiei… no… but Neo Shobi. Abby let out a loud shriek and scooted as far back on the bed as she could, covering herself up with her sheets,

"What the hell are you doing here? How the HELL did you even find me?!" she yelled.

"No need to be frightened, my love. I'm not really here." His smile made Abby's stomach cringe. As he finished his last sentence, Abby's door flung open, catching her attention. It was Yusuke, with a very worried look on his face,

"What's going on?!" he asked.

"Neo Shobi's here! He-" Abby turned her head to look where Neo was standing before… but he was gone, "He was… right there… I swear, I… I…" her eyes began to water as she searched for a reason.

"What do you mean Neo was here?" Yusuke frowned, "Abb… there's no one here…"

"I know there isn't now…" she glared at him, "But he was before. I swear, he… he even said he wasn't really here, but I saw him and… I… I'm… going fucking crazy." She said, putting her hands on her head.

"I'll… go get Genkai." he said slowly, before turning to leave the room. While he was out, Abby decided to get out of bed and get dressed into a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. A few moments later, Yusuke walked back in with Genkai. The old woman strolled over to Abby.

"You hallucinated him?" she asked in her gruff voice. Abby nodded slowly,

"I guess… but he seemed so real… like I could just reach out and… sock him in the face."

"That's a hallucination." Genkai sighed, "Do you have a headache?"

"No."

"Feel nauseated?"

"No."

"Any trouble sleeping?"

"Not more then usual."

"Have you been eating regularly?"

"Yes."

"Any sexual activities as of late?" Abby swore she saw her smirk, –She has to know…- she thought.

"Yes." She said after a small pause, "But what does that have to do with anything?" she inquired.

"Keep in mind, you and Neo were an item. Heated moments could trigger your memory like that."

"So… who've you been fooling around with?" Yusuke asked in his childish voice with a smile to match. Abby was about to tell him off, but Genkai spoke before she could,

"Yusuke, leave us." She glared at him.

"Awe… come on." Yusuke grinned, "No hint or nothing?" Abby stood up and jumped into the air to kick him in the face, making him fly back and out of her room, shutting the door right after.

"You need to be careful." Genkai spoke seriously to her, "Too much of last night and you're bound to lose your mind. Your memories still haven't fully come back and that much pressure on your brain could drive you to insanity. You have to keep things quiet between you two." Genkai pulled out a pack of cigarettes, handing one to her and taking one for herself, then lighting hers soon after Abby lit her own.

"Thanks… and I'll try to. Things just got really heated up and next thing I knew…" she dragged off with a shrug, taking a hit of her smoke.

"Stop there. I don't need your details." She snapped, taking a long drag of her cigarette, "I'm not the person to be talking to about this. Now… find Hiei."

"Why? You don't know where he is?"

"Somewhere around here. He's supposed to take you out with him to buy more food, among other things."

"You don't think he's started already?"

"You still need a tour of the town." She said before walking out of her room, "If you can't find him make this dimwit take you." She added, pointing over her shoulder to Yusuke still on the floor before walking off. Abby walked over to Yusuke and kicked his shoe gently,

"Wanna help me find the spiky haired man?" she smiled.

"After that kick in the face?!" Yusuke exclaimed, standing up quickly. Abby pouted,

"Pwease? I don't wanna go aww awone." She sniffed, stifling back a smile. Yusuke sighed and folded his arms over his chest, looking to the side,

"Fine, fine."

*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/

After Yusuke and Abby failed at finding Hiei, the two of them left to go walk around the town. Yusuke pointed everything out, mainly people that wandered the streets that weren't even human. Abby learned how to differentiate the humans from the demons by their spirit energy or lack there of.

"So, seriously…" Yusuke spoke up as they walked out of one of the stores, getting Abby to look at him, "Who've you been fooling around with?" his question made Abby sigh heavily.

"Not sure if I'm supposed to bring it up." She muttered.

"Oh, come on. You can tell me!" he exclaimed. Abby looked at him and his huge smile, and tried to hold back a laugh.

"Fine, fine. It was-" Abby stopped speaking as she bumped into something hard. This happening brought back a short flashback of when Abby first met Kurama.

-"Fuckin' A…" she mumbled, picking up the pace of her walk, trying hard to get to class on time. Unfortunately, she had a bad habit of staring at the ground as she walked, and the instant she turned the corner-

"Scheisse!" Abby yelped as she felt something hard smack against her forehead, which was surprisingly less painful then the landing on her ass, "I'm sorry! I wasn't looking where I-" she stopped speaking as she got a look at the kid that stood in front of her, looking down at her with wide emerald-green eyes.-

When Abby stood with the help of Yusuke, she looked up to see whom she had bumped into this time. There stood a tall man with white long hair, his bangs covering one eye. Abby's insides cringed with fury and a sense of sadness at the same time. She growled, pulling back her hand in a fist before she realized how different this man's face looked then Neo Shobi's. She lowered her fist as the man shot his hands up in defense.

"Sorry! Sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going, and-" the man spoke quickly, his voice not as deep as Neo's, and then stopped when he noticed the look on her face, "Thought I was someone else?" he asked.

"Yeah. Who are you?" she questioned.

"I am Riokushin. And you are…?"

"Riokushin?" she asked slowly, putting a finger on her chin as she looked down, "Sounds familiar…" she shook her head quickly and looked up at him, "I'm Abigail, and this is Yusuke." She pointed a small finger at him. He nodded towards Riokushin, but kept a serious look on his face with his arms folded over his chest, not letting his guard down. The energy he felt coming from Riokushin was questionable.

"Abigail? Abigail Beck?" Riokushin asked and received a nod, "You're… you're alive? I thought you died for sure that night!" he exclaimed, "Oh, Abby, you're okay!" he smiled widely and swept up Abby into his arms, tightly hugging her.

"Yeah… I'm fine… except I can't breath now…" she said as loudly as she could. Riokushin looked down at her and gently set her back down.

"Sorry." He shrugged, "But… how are you still here?"

"How do you know about that night?" Abby inquired.

"Abigail… you know who I am, right?" Riokushin frowned when she shook her head, "Abby… I'm Neo Shobi's brother."

*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/

Well that's that! Leaving you thinking for a little while. =D Again, sorry for the late update. I'll try to work on my story more.

Onna- woman

Scheisse- shit
