Chapter ten: Training

A week later

"Come on Kima we are going to be late for the portal." Kurama shouted at Kima while she skipped around enjoying the forest. She had been looking at a bird when Kurama had shouted.

"Ok jeez it's bad enough I'm going to have to be retrained. I'll have you now I've been in a lot of tournaments." Kima ran to Kurama and started to drag Kurama towards the temple that was Genkai's. When they got there everyone was there and looking very annoyed and when they saw Kima jumping around with a sword across her back and a pack in one hand.

"Kurama this is going to be serious training a girl shouldn't tag along even if she's a decent fighter in human eyes. There isn't a hint of energy in her at all come on what is she the above average human fighter." Hiei looked Kima over. Kima twitched slightly and then looked at Genkai and she relaxed.

"Long time no see Genkai." Kima nodded her head.

"Dai steho kids, long time no see indeed. How are your parents and what not." Genkai looked at Kima with a look none of them could place it was to mix up with feelings. There was anger, respect, love, wariness, and something else. "You start looking like Yusuke anymore and you'll have to change genders." Kima didn't faze at all to Kurama and Kuwabara's great surprise. They both new how big a temper she had and were surprised when she didn't swing out or shout something back.

"It's nice to see you to. Any ways it's just an unlucky coincidence you now I was adopted. " Kima rolled her eyes just as the portal appeared. "See you in a week or so then." Kima smiled and waved walking through Kurama sighed baffled to find out that Kima was adopted. 'I find something new about her every day.' and walked through fallowed by Hiei and Kuwabara. They were in a bamboo forest and there was a clearing right in front of them.

"Well I guess this is home for the next three months." Hiei walked in and jumped back as a demon charged at him. Kima tilted her head and appeared next to the guy sword drawn and touching his throat.

"What do you want?" Kima snarled as Hiei watched Kima her eyes narrowed and went into a death glare.

"Koenma told me to attack you so everyone would see the fighter in you please don't kill me." The demon pleaded on his hands and knees. Kima looked at him startled and resheathed her sword.

"You have got to be kidding me. Well ok but punch Koenma for me and say that's pay back for me having to protect Hiei." Kima smiled and watched the guy go.

"You were not protecting me I could of handled it." Hiei snarled pride hurt. Kurama and Kuwabara were staring at Kima scared.

"How fast are you exactly?" Kurama asked startled when he had seen Kima appear so suddenly next to the guy.

"Hm?" Kima hadn't been listening she was thinking of lunch. "How fast am I? …" Kima looked a little thoughtful and replied after a silence. "I have always been like this but only when I really want to protect someone." Kima smiled at Kurama, which made him gulp and look away blushing.

"Hn well that's interesting well we had better set up camp." Hiei had long forgotten Kima and was making a fire pit. "You are still going to need some training." Kima glared at him and muttered something no one caught.

"You haven't seen anything yet." Kima kick a rock and headed to the deeper part of the forest muttering something about yokai with no respect. Kurama was about to say don't get lost when he saw Kima snap a twig from a bamboo stalk every few feet. He shook his head Kima continued to amaze him.

"Sense when do girls fight like a guy?" Kuwabara was still in shock about Kima being able to go that fast. Kurama just shook his head when Kuwabara looked his way.

Kima had headed out of camp as soon as everything had gotten back under control so she could explore the area. "Hm?" Kima thought she had heard water and as a matter of fact it was getting louder as she walked. The next thing she new was that she was in a clearing with a waterfall that took her breath away. It was pouring down water and the mist made it look beautiful. Kima went over to the base and looked at the rock. The water poured down but the rock behind the fall was dry. Kima frowned and walk closer to see there was a cave behind it. Kima sniffed but because of the water she couldn't smell very well and when she looked around there were no sign of tracks. Kima sighed and drew her sword cautiously going into the cave.

"Who's there?" A little fox yokai popped up a staff to big for him in hand. When he saw Kima's sword he paled and took a step back. "Leave me alone I've done nothing to you." Kima looked startled and then looked at her sword she blushed slightly and sheathed it.

"Hello little fox. I didn't realized someone lived here I was just curios to see a cave behind a water fall and came in to explore." Kima smiled at the fox. He looked at Kima uncertainly and then sighed. He set down the staff and sat down.

"Hi I'm Shesheo. I live here for now." The yokai smiled. "But my friends call me Sheo."

"Hi I'm Kima Urameshi it's nice to meet you Sheo. I'm going to be living in a clearing not far off from here." Kima sat in front of him and glanced around. The place sure did look gloomy and all evidence that someone lived here was all but gone. "So were do you sleep? You can't possibly not sleep on the floor with the fall right out side to bring in the cold." Kima looked at the floor and saw it a rust color. She immediately froze and Sheo snarled.

"Well, well, well it looks like our little Sheo has found someone to die with. So are you ready." Kima wheeled around to face a mob of evil black-hearted demons. Kima put her hand to the sword and took a step forward.

"You touch one hair on me and your dead. What did he do to you anyways?" Kima looked a Sheo who was chalk white and shaking. There was a cloaked demon with blood red eyes and an evil grin. He was staring angrily at Sheo.

"Why the little runt bumped into me with out saying sorry." The guy that looked like the head guy snarled. Kima looked stunned for a second before she started laughing.

"Come on give the kid a break it's not like you're the supreme ruler of the Makai." Kima stopped laughing when she saw the anger in his eyes.

"I'm the leader of this particular part of the Makai and for mocking me I will kill you along with the twerp." The leader snarled. Kima snorted and drew her sword.

"You had better start heading for the hills sire you might get hurt if you so much as take another step nearer." Kima drew her sword. The guy looked really angry now and stepped forward starting a sentence to be cut off with a sword to his throat. "I warned you didn't I?" Kima sliced the guys ear off and took a step back. The guy shrieked he didn't even see her step forward.

"Why you!" The guy charged fist rose. To Kima's surprise spiritual energy formed there and Kima glared at the guy knowing if she stepped out of the way he would hit Sheo. Kima concentrated on her sword and then spiritual energy erupted from it. The guy realized what had happened and tried to pull out of the swing that would have shattered a sword if there were no energy surrounding it now. He hit it and it sliced him in half. Kima almost vomited when the guy fell down after everyone left screaming she did.

"Wow that was amazing let me try." The little Yo-ko glared at his hand and it started to glow. "Aw it won't change." The glow intensified and suddenly Kima stepped to the side as a small blast of energy went at her. "Wow did you see that!" The kid shrieked just as Hiei walked in glaring at the waterfall.

"You sure do get into trouble fast girly it's amazing you aren't dead." Hiei snarled drawing his sword. "Well let's test my theory." He walked out sword at his side obviously expecting her to fallow.

"Who is that?" Sheo looked at Kima.

"A friend of mine little Yo-ko." Kima walked out sword drawn to. When she got out she saw Kuwabara and Kurama standing by a tree when they saw her Kuwabara started muttering to himself as Kurama smiled in reassurance.

"Ok Kima we're going to see how good you are with a sword… well I am." He suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to Kima slashing her cheek. He snickered as Kima swung at him. He dodged and attacked again. Kurama was worried to see Kima look this uncertain. He had seen her face set into a firm glare just to… That was it. Kurama watched Hiei and saw him about to strike Kurama ran in and got in the way. Just before, Hiei who hadn't noticed was still swinging, the blade hit Kurama Kima was in-between them and had her sword in a block. Kima repealed the blow and to Hiei surprise had him on the ground pinned down with a sword to his throat. Kima's eyes were bright blue and they looked pretty dangerous. Suddenly Kima's eyes returned to normal and she got up surprised and stepped back.

"Sorry about what ever I did." Kima scratched her head and looked up to see a clear blue sky with no hint of rain what so ever. "Hmm Hmmmm Hm hm hm m Hm, Hm hmmm." Kima started humming a strange tune. "Once upon a December." Kima stopped and sat down just as Hiei who was now officially angry threw her sword at her. It flew right above her head as Kima spun around to see a huge amount of demon aurora coming out of the demon. "Ah Hiei might I ask why your so mad?" Kurama who was stunned by the show of emotion was glued to the spot.

"Why I'm mad? You tricked me you little witch how can you not have any spiritual energy." Hiei ran at her normal speed just before he hit her Kima dodged out of the way and tripped him. Kima looked worriedly at Hiei.

"Are you alright its not like you to show so much emotion are you sick or…" Hiei jumped up and swung at her she dodged and kicked him. "Or are you being controlled or perhaps an illusion has been handed to you." Kima notice a strand of hair that was brown not black. Frowning she pulled it out to show a blue root. A small pop and Hiei was staring at her oddly.

"All right already. Thanks." Hiei snarled and disappeared.

"And that concludes our final lesson for the day." Kima smiled and walked past the two red heads and went back to the clearing were they had started. When the two got back Kima was asleep by a fire hair covering her face.

Kurama looked at her and sighed brushing some hair away so she could breath. Kuwabara looked from Kurama to Kima and almost started laughing before Kurama glared at him. "You're going to wake her up as soon as the suns up we start your training." Kurama got up and went on the opposite side of the fire and stared into it. "Get some rest because I mean it." Kuwabara muttered to himself and went to sleep dreaming of Yukina.

Next day

Kima got up at dawn as she often did because of Taru. Kurama was staring at the fire and when she got up and stretched he smiled.

"Breakfast will be ready in a minute." Kima looked at the fire surprised sense when does he cook? Kima shrugged and looked around.

"I'm going to wash up if anyone goes near the waterfall I'll kill him." Kima grabbed a towel and a change of clothes. Kuwabara looked at Kima and then said something like no far. Baka you seriously are really perverted Kuwabara. Kima glared at him while thinking this. Kuwabara also got a sound whack from Kurama for mentioning it. "Hey no far and anyways I love Yukina not Kima." Kuwabara puffed up his chest.

"Ok what ever but I so get to fight him today." Kima waved and walked off. As soon as she got to the waterfall Sheo greeted her.

"Hi yah Kima are you here to take a shower?"

"Yeah if you don't mind." Sheo smiled and ran back into the cave. Kima smiled and looked around there was a really large tree branch over hanging the pool and the pool was deep enough. Even though this is a bamboo forest there is no bamboo around the pool but large tree's. Kima climbed the tree and got onto the branch going to the end and dove in fully dressed she wasn't being stupid though she could feel Hiei's evil eye on her. She staid under water as long as possible exploring the deeper than she had thought it was pool to make sure that there was nothing dangerous about it or any sharp rock to were she wouldn't have to jump into the places that there were. She noticed an interesting looking rock. Kima reached for it to find it was a pendant. Kima surfaced and swam over to the bank were her towel was. She got out and looked at it. The pendant was red and looked like some rare gem but it wasn't a ruby. The edges of the gem were metal and looked like flames coming out of it. Kima frowned and changed into her extra pair of clothes and dried her hair. Kima sat on a log of some sort that was way out of place in a bamboo forest and examined the pendant. Just then Sheo came running a huge bump on his head.

"Wah!" He came crying to Kima. "The big bully hit me!" Sheo jumped into her lap and cried.

"Let me guess Hiei right?" Kima looked at the kit concerned.

"Mm hm." Sheo said drying his tears.

Kima shook her head and got up. She stretched and went back to camp were Hiei was fuming about something.

"You just had to hit him?" Kima sat down just as the sun started to come up. Hiei said something like the little kid tried to hug me. "That's your reason?" Kima shook her head and ate a piece of bread. Kurama smiled and gave her a plate of food with some meat and bread. Kima looked at it tired and ate it finishing before any one else. Kima got up and stretched grabbing her sword and a chain with a silver sickle on it.

"What's that for." Kuwabara looked at the sickle scared like. Kima looked up from her thoughts she had been trying to figure out how to sneak away and train on her own.

"I'm going to swing this around until I'm satisfied I can kill some one with it." Kima sat down again and muttered something about ripping Kuwabara's head off when Sheo popped into camp.

"Kima can you teach me how to use a sword?" Kima ridged up and was real sick suddenly.

"Kima what's the matter?" Sheo ran over just as a dark figure walked in. Kima got up quietly.

"So you are alive and fighting even after our warning. Hm I see. Well you now what I'm going to have to do." The figure threw back its hood to revile a black haired demon with red and black eyes and a sword at his waist. Kima glared at him and sadly looked at the shocked Kurama and Hiei. She smiled slightly and dodged to the side as the demon tried to split her apart. "You can't dodge forever Kima and you now you can't beat me." He slashed at Kima again.

"Don't you ever get tired of killing people?" Kima grabbed his wrist with his sword and snapped his wrist. He let go of the sword and took a step back. "Oww and the not being able to kill you part is an understatement because I could but it's against my better judgment." Kima slid out of another punch. Suddenly the wind picked up and the demon grinned.

"Well my dear it looks like our friendly chat is over my dear team mates are calling me but remember this if you join the team of Urameshi you will die and everyone else." The demon stepped closer to Kima and whispered. "I would so hate to lose a flower like you." He swiftly bent down and kissed the fuming and now stunned Kima. He pulled away winked and disappeared. Kurama looked at Kima and saw her shaking fists clenched her aurora was lashing out violently around her full of a red and black hue.

"Kima who the # was that!" Hiei looked at the girl now just realizing what the demon had done started to blush crimson red and was shaking aurora becoming even more violent.

"Kima get control of your aurora or you'll hurt Kuwabara." Kurama said gently stepping forward only to dodge a jolt of aura. Kima's face went back to its original color and her aurora went back to its soft hue and reseeded into her body. Suddenly Kima's legs gave way and she fell on her butt. Kurama sat down next to her. "Now who was that?" Kurama said quietly. Kima looked at him numbly and look like she was about to puke.

"I now I'm just checking to see were that yokai went." Hiei closed it and walked off.

"That was one of my enemies he will be in the tournament on one of the worse teams. The leader warned me not to enter this tournament or else he would kill me and for some reason the fighters on that team are tickled over me don't really care either. It gives me all the more reason to fight them and ripe them to shreds. That guy was Kino a substitute fighter in there clan. He is particularly annoying always popping up at the most inconvenient of times." Kima looked at Kurama for a second then at Hiei he was staring at her with his evil eye open. "I'm not lying."

"Hey were are you going your exposed to help train me." Kuwabara shouted.

"Kurama will help you with the first week you'll need it to fight me." Hiei stalked off. Kima watched him go then shivered and got up. She grabbed the sickle and started to walk off in the opposite direction of the fire yokai.

"Were are you going?" Kuwabara shouted. Kima's eyes darted back to the two teens and then she walked off again sliding into the bamboo grove. Kurama looked at her worried and left gesturing to Kuwabara to come with him.
