2 weeks and a trophy later at Erica's house during training
"wow Acurro you're really getting good I could barely dodge that last attack" said Erica 'well at this power' she thought to herself
"so is Hiei coming over today I haven't seen him since last week at the movies" he said still surprised that Hiei agreed to go but he did some how oh yeah one of the favors now he only owed her one thought Acurro
"I think so" she said while grabbing a bottle of water
"want one" she asked Acurro
"yeah before Hiei gets here I need to recuperate that guy know nothing about breaks" said Acurro as he slid down the floor and caught the water Erica through to him
"so the tournament is in 2 weeks you think you're ready" said Erica
"Of course, don't you think I am" said Acurro looking up at Erica
"yeah but one must have confidence in them selves in order to overcome obstacles but don't mistake confidence with cockiness cause that can be your down fall" said Erica quoting her mother
flash back
"No fair mom" she said while her mother grabbed the remote off of the table first
"well it's not my fault you didn't even think you'd get it off of the table first so why should I disappoint you and let you be wrong if you think negative then you will have a negative outcome" she said
"mom you promised" said little Erica in a whiny voice
"I didn't need to read your thought to know that it was your aura that gave that away one must first have confidence in themselves in order to overcome obstacles but don't mistake confidence with cockiness cause that will be your downfall" she said smiling brightly
"ok mommy lets try again" said Erica
end flashbak
" my mother used to say that" said Erica
"oh yeah that reminds me I gotta make a few phone calls and a visit so will you be ok on your own" said Erica quickly wiping away sad thoughts
"Of course I am after all the great Acurro and Hiei just got here" said Acurro
"wow the great Acurro has gotten better I see" she retorted lightly chuckling to her self
"and what would one expect with 2 great teachers" said Acurro returning her smile as Hiei walked in the room
"we need to talk" said Hiei motioning to Erica
"what no hello first" said Erica and Acurro in union
"hello then happy now" he said in a normal voice they were really starting to creep him out with that freak 'not' twin thing
"so you wanted to talk to me about something" said Erica after they left the room
"no I just wanted to be alone" he said while pulling her closer to him to met in a heated kiss that left them both breathless and Hiei smirked
"um I missed you" breathed Erica
"um me too but I had business to attend to I was actually wondering if …" he said pausing
"wondering what?" said Erica looking it to his breath taking red eyes
"it's nothing never mind I should start the training session with Acurro" he said while blushing
"I don't think it's nothing but I'm not going to force you to tell me … this time so I'll see you later and don't kill Acurro." She said kissing him lightly on the cheek as she left to complete her business
later that day
Erica was in an elevator on her way to see one of her good friends who was 2 years older than her to ask her a very important Question that couldn't be done over the phone
"um hi is Solaria Mathines here" she asked the lady at the front desk
"do you have an appointment?" the lady asked not looking up
"well no but.."
"then you can't go in" the lady interrupted and still did not bother to look up
"then that means she's here" said Erica ignoring the lady's rudeness
As she walked to the door and let herself in
"hey you can't do that" called the lady as she finally looked up in panic
"OH MY GOD ERICA!" screamed a figure form the office
"in the flesh" Erica retorted with a gigantic smile on her face she hadn't seen her in 2 years
"damn how long has it been, do you have a boyfriend, do you still work at the dance studio is …"
"Wow slow down Solaria one at a time I missed you too but you don't see me acting like a fool" said Erica with a smile at her friends antics
"ah that hurt I haven't seen you and so long and instead of greeting me properly you insult me the pain" she faked dramatically
"You know I love you but actually my visit today is kinda business related" said Erica with a more serious look
"oh so what can I help you with today miss" she said with fake seriousness
"well I was wondering if you were up for a challenge" said Erica
"what type of challenge?" said Solaria with an eyebrow raised
"well you see theirs this tournament that……."
"That's a definite yes! when is it I so need a break from everyday work around the office" said Solaria bursting with excitement
"well it's in 2 weeks and you are the best have I ever told you how much I love you" said Erica getting dramatic and wiping away fake tears
"well yeah but not nearly enough so I'm gonna kick some butt in 2 weeks you say well then bring it on I've been trained by the best and if they wanna fight me they'll crash and burn like the rest" said Solaria with determination and total happiness in her eyes
"yup with us back together there's no possible way they can defeat us and our team" said Erica now actually happy about the tournament because she knew her father's true intention but if he thought that he controlled her he had another thing coming to him
"our team? We have a team any hotties on our team" she said suggestively
"well yeah lots actually and one of them is mine we are the only girls on the team you know I guess you can met them next week a few days before the tournament so you can get acquainted" she said while rolling her eyes at her friend's permanent disease called boy crazy
"ok it is so my turn to thank you now you are the absolute best" she said while wiping away her fake tears
"I do try" said Erica as she laughed
"so I'll see you next week then and don't tell anyone cause you don't have to take off work or anything because time will be frozen for everyone" she added
"damn and here I thought I was going on a nice vacation" she said while smiling at her good friend and leading her out of the office where she then stopped and proceeded to yell at her secretary for being so rude
meanwhile at kurama's house
"I can't wait for the tournament, think it will be anything like the dark tournament" said yusuke to kuwabara
"well aren't some of them related to Erica they've got to be evil then so it's probably worse than the dark tournament imagine 20 Erica's" replied kuwabara turning pale
"I shutter to think" said yusuke also turning pale
"oh come on she's not that bad" said kurama
"that's because we know her better than you do you should have seen her on the last mission I swear she was going to kill us all if we didn't kill that demon for ruining her equipment" said kuwabara in remembrance
"the woman's absolutely crazy Hiei's the lucky one he only had one assignment with her" added yusuke
"so I'm assuming that she beat you guys up" said kurama smartly
"what no way she just has ways of well… I don't wanna talk about it it's too.." said yusuke who would never admit to being beaten by a girl
"yeah" said Kuwabara
"ok then "said Kurama with a laugh at his friends antics
"so when did she say the tournament was again" asked yusuke changing the subject as Keiko walked in the room
"what tournament?" she asked
"um nothing " yusuke tried to cover
"come on tell me you aren't going to another one of those dark tournaments are you" she inquired looking him directly in the eye causing him to slightly whimper in fear
"No of course not" he said not totally lying
back at Erica's
"Hiei for the love of all that is sacred can we take a break now" said Acurro now totally drained they had been at it for a full 3 hours not to mention Erica's 5
"no you can't come on, do you really think that if we were really fighting in the real world that a demon would give you a break you have to learn to fight when your tired or how will you fight when you're injured you going to tell them you want a break" retorted Hiei hotly slightly annoyed at the boys request
"no but.."
"but what if you expect me to go easy on you you're mistaken and should probably get a new teacher now give me 200 laps at top speed and I'll think about that break" said Hiei with a smirk he could tell the boy was pissed by the look on his face but he had no idea how much power he dad gained in 2 weeks alone he had potential and the guts to match but some times he was a bit lazy in Hiei's opinion but he's work that out of him soon enough
About 20 minutes later Erica got home and started dinner then when to the training room to get in a few minutes before dinner and to her surprise Hiei and Acurro were still training "damn poor Acurro drill sergeant Hiei strikes again" said Erica opening the door
"hi Erica" said Acurro
"what's up kid I see you're busy so I'll just go out side for my 10 minute session and by the way dinners ready so go eat after you wash up and stuff" said Erica felling sorry for Acurro who was drenched in sweat 'guess he got double time cause he missed out on last weeks lessons'
"so where'd you go today" asked Hiei
"I went to visit an old friend" she said while pushing a few buttons cause a few walls to turn
"what are you doing" he asked watching her intently
"well I'm reverting the rooms frequency to the next room so I won't disturb you guys while I have a quick work out" she said
"well why would you need to do that" he asked again
"well I've never should you guys but my training room has a stimulated battle series"
"what" asked Acurro and hiei
"here I'll show you stage 3 level 2, 3 fighters" she said
"now starting stimulation" the room answered as it when dark and change to look like they were in an alley surrounded by thugs who were demons
One of them attacked Erica first then they all jumped on Hiei and Acurro Hiei made quick work of his eight with his sword and Acurro used a barrier that killed them on contact. Erica merely froze hers
"how the hell did you do that" asked Acurro slightly shocked
"didn't I tell you guys that I was a genius I created the program well actually my mother did but I fixed it up a bit" she said
"wow do it again do it again" said Acurro
" I was going to wait until next week to show you but I let you try again tomorrow with a more challenging stimulation ok?" said Erica
"I not even going to bother today I'm lazy now" said Erica "and I'm hungry" she added feeling her stomach growl
"now I no where he gets it from" said hiei to himself
"come on I made your favorite Acurro" she said
"pizza?" he asked hopefully
"well your second favorite lasagna" she said
"even better" he said about to head to the door when he remember Hiei fad not dismissed him yet " um now can I go" he asked in a small voice
"why not" said Hiei passively
"I would normally do a victory dance but I'm way to tired" said Acurro to himself
2 weeks later at the portal leading to the tournament
"yes at last" said solaria who had just arrived at the portal
"I guess time got frozen already then" said Acurro seeing the bird suspended in mid air
"ok everyone's here then so lets go already" said Erica not in a good mood since the meeting she had with her father last week that bastard threatened her and her friend who the hell did he think he was just wait until the tournament was over and she was victorious she'd do something with the prize alright
"someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" said Yusuke walking through the portal first as everyone else followed
"your accommodations sir" asked a strange looking bellhop
"he's with me" said Erica while plopping down in a chair
"oh Erica your father that is to say Derek I mean the time keeper lord wishes to see you in him suite before the paliminaries" said the strange looking bellhop nerously
"does he really well you tell him that he can kiss my.."
"I can what" said a figure behind her
"well what I was about to say before I was so rudely interrupted lord time keeper sir is that you can kiss my ass" she said with each word dropping with sugar venom
"Erica you surprise me is that anyway to talk to your father" said Derek with is eyes slightly narrowed
"um seeing as how that man never existed I'd have to go with yes" she said lightly twitching he knew how much she hated when he refer to himself as her father and he used it to his advantage
"touché but you will met me in my suite in 10 minutes that is enough time for you and your little friend comfy isn't it" he said his voice holding no emotion
" what ever" she retorted her face red in anger but not getting up
"bell hop escort them to their courtier and you will do well to address me by my proper title" he said making the bellhop flinch visibly
"Y…yes lord time k..keeper sir" said the bell stuttering in fear
"damn if this in kiss up city" mumbled Erica to herself
"wow now I no why you 2 don't get along" said solaria
"yup how he got along with mother is beyond me" replied Erica slightly less tense now that someone knew where she was coming from
They got to their room with was a suite with 8 rooms, 4 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room much like the one in the human world
"ok guy I call dibbs on the room near the bathroom with the Jacuzzi" said solaria
"to late I already unpacked" said Yusuke
"you can't do that I called dibbs so you had better repack" she said with a smirk she was only fooling around though
"no way I got there first so you'll just have to find another room"
"no fair whatever happen to the ladies before gentlemen rule" she said
"incase you haven't already realized Urameshi is no gentleman" said kuwabara emerging from his room which had a t.v. in it
"hey" said Yusuke faking a hurt look
" come on Solaria I've go the perfect room for you it's next to mine and theirs a great view" said Erica dragging her friend away to the room
When they got their she was surprised to find out it was her type of view
"now that's what I'm talking about fuck the Jacuzzi" she said as she watched a couple of hot shirtless guys do push ups
"you never change do you?" said Erica with a smirk
" no not really I never saw the need to" she said
"but tell me something is the red head taken cuz he is fine." Said solaria ploping down on her bed not bothering to carry the luggage
"um no but I don't suggest you take the boy crazy approach it kinda freaks him out "said Erica
"I know I mean I wasn't going to he's so pleasant, something about his arua fascinates me and well do you think that he likes me don't answer that I know we just met but he's different from the others I can tell" said Solaria actually serious for once
"I guess you right he is different from the guy you're normally interested in" said Erica
"you'd better go before lord time keeper sir pays us another visit" said Solaria
"yeah but then again why should I suffer alone" she said with a smirk
at the suite in the office
"I see you have found some strong team mates they've fought in the dark tournament and won I've heard" said Derek
"cut the crap will you, just tell me what you want so I can be on my way I do so need to get rid of some steam" said Erica
"well I've brought you here to meet some one but he hasn't arrived yet you will mate with him when I feel it is time" said Derek
"wow wow wow pause what the hell did you just say it's one thing for you to treat me like some slave and its another thing for you to black mail me into doing your bidding but you have now overstepped your boundary I will choose who I will mate with and no one else not even mother is aloud to tell me that so what make you feel you have the right" said Erica throwing up her hands in anger
"I don't feel I have the right I know I have the right you will do as I say or your friend lives will be cut short do you understand even your precious Hiei" said Derek with a smirk
"you're a sick bastard do you know that. how dare you spy on me and have the audacity to tell me who shall become my mate If so much as breathe on them funny I'll make you suffer just like you did to mother you sick freak" she said in a very low and cold tone of voice
"hum are you threatening me Erica remember what happen the last time you did that" he answered as his cruel smirk increased
"um I don't threaten when it comes to my friends I promise as as for last time go ahead make my day hit me as hard as you can it's not like I cried last time it's not like I gave you the satisfaction of hearing me scream so do what you must and get it over with but I promise you if you bring my friend in to this you'll start a war you won't live to finish" said Erica as she got up and left the room not bothering to look up at the approaching figure who was her soon to be mate
