(Ok guys your review inspire me to a point of no return That and I'm not busy so I'll write some more I'd like to say a special thank you to missmanga90 and HieiFan666 for reviewing to all of the chapters you're absolutely stupendous and I'll try my best do add more fluff ok )
One kiss can do it for you but was he ready for this step was she ready for this step could he handle the consequences would he be able to…
Silence filled the room as eyes looked for what seemed like eternity several emotions in each others eyes and one stood out the most
"I've got to go" said Hiei not just ready to face to the consequences. She had him in an unfamiliar place and he didn't like it. He did not like not knowing what came next, he didn't like the other feeling that came along with … love
"why?" she asked aloud
"I just have to go ok I'll see you tomorrow" he said gruffly
"so that's it, your just going to pretend that nothing happen. That you didn't feel…" she said her voice dieing out when she got to the last word
"yes" he answered simply
"nothing happened" he said as he filched at his own harshness
"fine" she said looking at the floor if he thought that she, Erica was going to cry over him he had another thing coming to him she rather die
"good" he said while vanishing out the window in the training room.
"you'll never understand will you, I won't make it easy for you, I'll make you throw away your pride because I saw the truth in your eyes" she said watching the window as a tear cascaded down her cheek
"damn" she curse realizing she had broken her own vow
"so are we going to start training now" said Acurro entering the room then he notice she wasn't as cheerful as she normally was in fact she looked kind of sad
"what wrong?" he asked
"oh it's nothing" she said quickly hiding and evidence that she was sad or had cried
"are you sure?" he asked again in a concerned voice
"yup lets start you training with something easy, go call the girls and well start ok." She said flashing him one of her fake everyday smiles. She tried so hard to be happy but happiness never settled long with her
"ok" said Acurro he was not fooled he knew something was wrong with her but he wasn't going to force her to talk about it he himself hated when people did that he thought as he left the room to get Elizabeth and Vicky
"she ready come on" he said to the girls who were arguing over who the cutest guy in the commercial that they had just watch but stopped as soon as Acurro had entered the room
"ok they" said at the same time
Vicky knocked on wood first "ha owe me a favor" she said while sticking out her tongue
Then blushing because she just remembered that Acurro was in the room (in case you were wondering the ages the girls are 11 and Acurro is 12 in human years Erica is 16 and Yusuke is 16 Kurama is in college he's 17 and so is Hiei but he's not in school and kuwabara just turn 16 last week and the others I'll tell you later but they're all in the same age group)
They all headed towards the training room with Acurro in the front and the girls chatting behind
"he is so cute" said Elizabeth to Vicky in a whisper not knowing that Acurro could hear every word that they said
"yeah but I saw him first" retorted Vicky
"you did not I did and he's even cuter that those guys in that commercial" said Elizabeth with a star gazed look on her face as they entered the training room
Acurro was blushing brightly at all the complements he was reseving especially from Elizabeth and Erica smiled knowingly she thought they'd make a good couple and Vicky already had a little boyfriend she was just trying to make Elizabeth talk to him by playing the competing role that Erica had whispered to her earlier before going to the training room
"ok guys we are going to start with some light meditation then some medium target practice in groups" she said with a smirk
"now close your eyes and clear your mind of everything stay quiet and focus only on your breathing 2 counts inhale 3 counts exhale" said Erica while demonstrating
"good now I want you to envision a waterfall just a water fall and nothing else but continue with you breathing" she added after a few minutes
"now hear the sounds and feel the breeze" she added again after a few minutes "good now open your eyes slowly and look to the left" when they did they were surprised to see a beautiful waterfall that they had all created
It was the same one that all of them were thinking about
"cool how'd we do that" asked Vicky
"simple by breathing the exact same way you guys became intone with each other then all you thoughts on the water fall were the same then by feeling and hearing it you created this illusion with your energy normal people would not have been able to create such a life like illusion and they probably would not have been able to make one at all" she said answering her question and making the water fall disappear
"wow I never knew I had that kind of power" said Elizabeth
"of course you do but a lot of it is hidden away and it's our job to help to unleash and control it" replied Erica
"now pick a partner and try a different exercise" said Erica
"um who wants to be my partner" she asked
"I do they" all said
"I feel so loved" replied Erica dramatically
It got later as the training progressed Acurro learned how to perfect barriers and block attacks by using them.
Later that day it was time for the girls to go home at approximately 6:30
They promised to be back the day after tomorrow for another vigorous training session.
"ok kid your free to go" she said to Acurro
"yeah ok I think I'll go take a shower or something" he said
"no take one at 7 lets play some video games or prank call the neighbors" she said 'maybe that will make me feel better' she thought
"okay" replied Acurro as he proceeded to set up the game system and Erica got the telephone book
"now which do you wanna do first?" asked Erica
"doesn't matter which ever one you want" said Acurro
"um how about a bet. Whoever wins 2 out of 3 games has to make a prank call to the next door neighbor and tell them what ever the other one chooses and talk until the other one tells them to hang up deal?" said Erica
"works for me cuz your going to lose not me" said Acurro
"we'll see" said Erica
"um lets play a fighting game this time" suggested Acurro
"ok" agreed Erica
They played two games and both of them Erica one so their was no need for the third one
"Um now you have to call my friend Shizuru tell her that you're her secret admirer and ask her to meet you at 'Insane' she'll know what you're talking about" said Erica after doing her victory dance
"fine what's the number?" asked Acurro
"here I'll dial it for you" said Erica while picking up the phone and dialing the number
"um hi is shizuru there… ok hi shizuru I've been watching you for a long time and I really like you a lot in fact I'd say I'm your secret admirer… yeah… I was wondering that is if your not busy if you would met me at 'insane' tonight it's were we first met… you will… great see you at 9 then bye" ended Acurro smoothly
"that was fun now I dare you to call Elizabeth and do the same thing only tell her your real name"
"what.. no way… she um.." stuttered Acurro as he turnrd bright red
"and here I thought you were brave" said Erica
"well it's you turn anyways" replied Acurro sticking his nose in the air
"nope it's already 7:12 time to get ready were going out tonight" she said
"where are we going?" asked Acurro
"were going to 'INSANE' it's a club for teens and young adults" replied Erica while heading up the stairs to get ready
"um in case you haven't noticed I might not be old enough to, you know get in." replied Acurro
"no prob you'll get in I'll see to it now go get ready and put on the blue outfit from the one with the dress shirt and the shades" she said
"if you say so" replied Acurro while heading down the hall to his room
After they got ready
"wow you look so nice" complemented Acurro
Erica wad now wearing a loosely fitting floral shirt with a tight belt around her waist some stretch jeans and some tan boots and a tan hat to match she also curled her hair for an added effected in truth she looked absolutely stunning and so did Acurro whose attire consisted of a loose fitting slacks (black) a blue dress shirt with a few of the top bottons unloose and some shades to go with it
"thank you and your not to bad your self" she replied with a smirk
"ok, ok enough of this time to go don't wanna be late for my performance now do we?" she said as she rushed got side to the car and started the engine
when they got there
They stood at the door while Erica got her things together then they passed by security easy after Erica said that Acurro was with her now they were back stage because tonight was there annual competition of talent that Erica had won 3 years in a row
She liked to sing and dance it was what brought her through the hard times in her life and made her forget about her problems
"hey Danny this is my cousin Acurro and Acurro this is my manager and agent Danny I sing from time to time to get some cash so he helps me out"
"Erica, you look absolutely wonderful as usually Jack must really know what he's doing" said Danny
"yup he picked out Acurro's too" she said sounding proud
"so kid got any hidden talent that I should know about" said Danny cheerfully
"not really" answered Accuro shyly
" Erica remember your on in ten so don't go far" said Danny
Erica sang 2 song that time when it was her turn not knowing that Hiei had followed them there he had come to apologues when he heard her say they were going out being that he was curious about where the hell they'd be going at this hour he followed then and was surprised to see her making friendly with another guy
He was just about ready to burst before she had introduced him to Acurro upon hearing the true nature of their relation he was relieved about ten minutes later she when on stage he watched from a far as she began to sing
Couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.
('wow she has such a wonderful angelic voice' thought Hiei)
What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
('I'm sorry' he thought in remembrance that he had cased her pain he too had fekt hers as well as hi)
Open your eyes and look outside, find the reasons why.
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
(how will I ever get you to forgive me for the pain I have caused you)
Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.
Yeah,oh
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
(how do I tell you I love you will you no can you love me too)
All these questions plagued Hiei's mind as he listened to her sing
Then the announcer came on and told them that she would be on again in 5 minutes
It was then that Erica felt Hiei's presence
'what's he doing here' she thought
(Ok that's it for now guy you know me lazy as can be so don't be like me please review and if you get more people to review I'll even get you the next chapter sooner and have I ever lied to you don't answer that)
