(Ok guys I am extremely happy with your reviews and there are lots of surprises to come in this chapter so play close attention ok)
Now on with the story chapter 7
IT is now 4:30 at Kurama's house
'damn that women she even plagues me in my sleep' thought Hiei while heading for the shower 10 minutes later he was out of the shower and brushing his teeth in the mirror
'she kissed me, is she the one from the dream and those voices, what is it that I feel for this woman' thought Hiei
flashback
"don't worry kid Hiei is a very powerful guy he'll protect you, won't you Hiei" said Erica rather dismissive about the subject Hiei just hmphed and blushed at her compliment
"and my house's security system was built and designed by me so no need to worry"
She said now smiling at Acurro
"anyways we have lots to do today so hurry up" she said cheerfully
"last one to the portal is a rotten egg" she add after she started running
Acurro soon dashed after her but Hiei thought it was foolish and continued walking
"your such a stick in the mud" said Erica referring to Hiei as her and Acurro walked in the tunnel leading to the portal
"just because you get your kicks by making a fool out of your self doesn't me I should" replied Hiei
"I rather like having fun and I don't care if anyone thinks it's foolish but obviously you do." She said knowing it would upset him
"what's that suppose to mean?" asked Hiei surprisingly calm
"it means that you try to hard to maintain your image you've forgotten what fun is" she said simply
"really" he answered coldly
"but then again maybe you never knew" she added as an after thought to her self but both Acurro and Hiei heard
End flashback
'how can she possibly be able to read me so well I do have fun she doesn't know what she's talking about foolish woman' he thought
"I'll just have to let her know who she's dealing with" he said as he head to her house
4:58 am at Erica's house
"Let's see if her so called security system really works" said Hiei smirking to him self as he jumped on to the roof and into an open window
'figures' he thought not noticing Erica around the corner
"Hey you're here I left it open just incase you weren't the door using type anyways I just woke up Acurro and he'll be ready soon but I'm going back to bed do you need any thing before I go" she said
"no, but how did you know" asked Hiei
"2 things really you're kinda predictable with those type of things and I read a lot and it just so happens that I find fire demons very interesting" she said while playing with a strand of her hair with a interesting glint in her eyes
"oh yeah I gotta show you where the training room is" she said while motioning fir him to follow her
'so I'm predictable am I?' he thought to him self
"it's right here. try not to kill the house and I'll be leaving at 8:30 to go to work but I'll be back at 1:30 and if you guys get hungry I made some food for you breakfast in the red container and lunch in the blue" she said instructing him to the kitchen
"why?" asked Hiei
"huh why what?" she said
"forget it never mind" said Hiei
"well I need to talk to you after work so don't bail okay" said Erica
"about?" he asked just as Acurro came down the stairs
"you'll see but in the mean time I really need to go back to sleep"said Erica with a yawn as she headed for the steps
"and don't kill the kid" she said while walking up the stairs then she went back to bed leaving Acurro alone with Hiei
"so" said Acurro breaking the silence
"do you want to eat first?" asked Hiei not look at him
"um ok I'm starving what's for breakfast" asked Accuro
"I don't know but it's in the red containers" he said while walking to the kitchen
"wow it smells good sausage and eggs and pancakes um my favorite" said Acurro literally attacking the food with his mouth
'damn kid you've one of those garbage things in your mouth' thought Hiei while thinking about the garbage disposer in the sink at Kurama's house
"aren't… you gonna… eat …it's really swallow good" said Acurro who had stopped to long enough to notice he was not eating to
"um she even made hot chocolate" he said sniffing the air
"yeah" answered Hiei who had a look of discussed on his face because of Acurro's eating habits
after they had finished eating
In the training room
"Now kid can you manipulate your spirit energy in anyway" asked Hiei while taking off his coat
"um I think so" answered Acurro
"well lets see it then" said Hiei
As Hiei had said that a bright light illuminated Acurro's body and lit up the entire room then the light got smaller as he switched his hand position and a large ball of light was hovering over his head
"is this what you meant" he asked Hiei
Hiei merely nodded and told him to do it again but this time direct it towards him
"good but your to slow try to do it faster" said Hiei who as easily dodged the blast even though he wasn't using his full speed
After Hiei had instructed him to jog around the room until he felt he could no longer move Hiei then through some punches at him of course not using his full power some of them hit Acurro but the last one had him on the ground spitting up blood
"get up" said Hiei
"now it's your turn try to hit me" said Hiei
"but I'm so tired" complained Acurro
"you had better lose that attitude do you think a demon will care how tired you are when he attacks you, no because that the time when he's most likely to attack now get up" he all but yelled
He all but leaped off the floor with that threat
"now attack" yelled Hiei
Acurro gave it his all but not one punch managed to hit Hiei
"I know you're faster than that now hit me" yelled Hiei
'I'll show you' though Acurro whole devising a little plan with what remain of his energy
He ran to the left knowing that Hiei would dodge his attack at the right then he jumped in the air after creating an invisible barrier at the right then he ran left again but change drastically to the right giving Hiei the best upper cut he could muster in that state because Hiei was trapped between him the barrier and the wall now he had broke the barrier and skid at least 2 feet back as Acurro was in his knees catching his breath
"how … was that?" asked Acurro catching his breath
"good kid now take a 15 minute break before we try both together" said Hiei calmly he was not surprised he knew the kid was pretty smart what with all the boobie traps him and Erica had encountered
with Erica who was now at work
"um ok guys you need to listen to these songs and tell me which one you choose to dance to the competition is in a couple of weeks so we really need to practice" she said to her dance class who met every day from 10 to 12 on the summer and 3 times a week during school
"ok" they all said excited about their first competition
"now I'm going to make a phone call be right back" she said while walking to her office
"yeah gotta check on my poor house and Acurro, I wonder if he's still alive" she said cringing at the thought and dialing her home number waiting for some one to answer the phone
"hello" answered Hiei
"hey what's up just calling to check up on you guys" said Erica
"we're fine is that all" answered Hiei
"nope let me talk to Acurro will you I need to see if he's still alive" she said
"whatever" he said not amused by her little joke but handed the phone to Acurro none the less
"hey Erica" he said sounding excited
"are you coming home soon?" he questioned
"no got another hour here but it good to hear your still alive" said Erica lighty chuckling
"I was kinda doubting that too" he said
"hey will you bring me back some of that ice-cream we had yesterday" he asked
"Sure kid be good now and I'll even introduce you to a friend of mine" she said then asked him to put hiei back on the phone
"now what" questioned Hiei
"wow some ones grumpy, guess that means Acurro kicked your butt I'll have to congratulate him later" she said
"Hmph" said Hiei gruffly
"hey take it easy I was just joking any way give the kid a break he sounds exhausted" she said
"Is that all" he said
"nope one more thing be the nice fire demon I know you can be ok sweetie" she said and then hung up before he could reply
"sweetie" they said together but then shook it off
She then proceeded to make another phone call
"Hey Billy…yeah … ok tonight at 8…no… just one song ok… cause I got thing to do… alright alright I'll do 2 then… ok… bye" she said hanging up the phone and heading back to her dance class who had yet to pick a song
"come on guys do you want me to pick for you or what" she said
"ok" they all agreed knowing that she'd come up with the perfect song
"no, no come on guys I was only joking" she said with an anime sweat drop
"oh come on you no you want to" said Vicky who was one of her favorite students
"ok ok but you guys should practice your positions and spins while I decide" she said
"ok" they said
After 15 minutes she finally decide to go with cry me a river as she envision the dance in her head
They practiced the first part of it and were told to give their idea's tomorrow
They departed soon after but Vicky and Elizabeth stayed behind
"ok guy you ready" asked Erica while grabbing her bag and her keys on the table
"yup" they both nodded they liked going to Erica's house it was always fun and they were excited bout meeting her 'cousin'
"good but we gotta make a quick pit stop" she said while walking to the car
E3 as she called it
"I still can't believe you made this car it looks so cool" said Elizabeth
"thanks but you should Know that you're my inspiration" she said while starting the car
"radio on" she said and the radio turned on
"auto pilot to mall" she said and the car began to drive
"wow" they both said in awe
Erica then turn up the radio as one of her favorite songs came on
And began to sing
3 Doors Down - When I'm GoneThere's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There's secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Maybe I'm just blind...
Maybe I'm just blind...
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything you need
I'll also be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone...
When your education x-ray
Can not see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything you need
I'll also be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Maybe I'm just blind...
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything you need
I'll also be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone...
Love me when I'm gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
They arrived at the mall which was not that far from the studio at the end of the song
"wow Erica even though I've heard you sing before it still amazes me at how good you sound" said Vicky
"yeah Erica what are you doing teaching us you should go pro or something" added Elizabeth as they stepped out of thecar heading to themall
"nah I'm not into the fame thing there's no privacy and as you already know there are 2 things I can't do with out my hot chocolate and my privacy" retorted Erica lightly chuckling at their star gazed expressions
They when in and got out quickly and avoided jack at all cost getting Acurro what he needed and buying the girls a few cds and games they were on there way
They arrived at the house at about 1:30 with the music blasting to alert Hiei and Acurro she was home
"Lucy I'm home" shouted Erica
"hey Erica" said Acurro racing down the stairs to meet her
"did you get…" he cut him self off as he saw that their were visitors
"hello my name is Acurro" he said while looking in their direction and smiling shyly
"oh my god" screamed Elizabeth
"ow my ear what the hell was that for" said Vicky with her hand over her ears and Erica was thinking pretty much the same thing
"opps did I do that out loud" she said while turning bright red
"oh I see" said Erica with a smirk
"any ways this is Elizabeth and this is Vicky my best friends little sister" she said pointing to both of them
"now where's Hiei I needed to talk to him about something" asked Erica
"oh he's in the…" he said looking at the girls and then back at Erica not sure if it was a good Idea to tell them about the training room
"it's ok they Know about the training room in fact that's why they're here to train just like you" said Erica catching his drift
She then proceed down the hall to the training room and saw Hiei doing a series of moves
She then cleared her throat to make her presents known he stopped mid turn to look at her he was drenched in sweat and topless and boy was it a site
"um" started Erica tearing her eyes away from his body to look him in the eyes
"I said I need to talk to you today remember" she said sounding serious
"I'm listening go ahead" he said while putting on his shirt to Erica's relief
"well I was kind of wondering if you could do me a favor" she said while fidgeting with her fingers and looking down on the floor
"what kind of favor?" he inquired raising an eyebrow
"well I was wondering if you'd fight in the tournament thingy on my team and well you do owe me a favor so will you?" she ended quickly and dared to take a peek at his expression
"sure why not?" he said in his normal tone of voice
"you will really" she said she was so excited she gave him a hug and was about to kiss him on the cheek when he turned his head and her lips ended up on his by then it was purely instincts that drove them as his tongue darted out of his mouth to lick her bottom lip. She opened her mouth allowing him access and he enter and slowly they began the war for dominace while he moved his hands to encircle her waist
A few minutes later they stopped to catch their breaths
"wow" said Erica aloud touching her lips to savor the taste
"um" he said he enjoyed it as well but would not admit it she was his now and all the confusing emotions now seemed clear with just one kiss
