I laughed as I saw Kourne drag Koda into the room. He looked very irritated and he had reason to be. Koda had sneaked off on his watch. The only reason she had gotten away with it was because she had duct taped him to the ceiling. I had walked into the room earlier because I heard an odd noise. Seeing no one in the room I had been about to walk out when I heard the noise again above my head. Looking up I saw the funniest thing I had ever saw. Kourne looked like he had been mummified in duct tape the stuck to the ceiling by 3more roles of the stuff. I couldn't help it I had fallen over laughing. It had taken me nearly ten minutes to get up and get him down from the ceiling. Eventually Kurama had come in and helped me hearing my endless bought of laughter.
Needless to say Kourne had been very hostile with me since he had been removed from the ceiling and I was recruited to help look for Koda. I had speculated where she went and pointed Kourne in Hiei's direction. He gave me a glare though less harsh than the earlier but still he glared before storming of to find the fugitive woman.
A week had passed at Genkai's temple after Koenma's visit. He had not returned since but I knew he had been trying to contact the old woman. Mostly, I knew because he would call my communicator to see if she was around. I had taken to leaving it at home now because I was tired of his insistent nagging. Koda had seemingly only improved a bit more since she we had gotten there. Though I had noticed she had started hanging on Hiei quite a bit. I assumed it was because he had told her he was her brother. Either way it was funny to watch, Hiei always looked disgruntled about but I knew he was smiling a bit inside. He was happy to have a sister who accepted him even if he could tell Yukina yet. Kuwabara would blow a gasket when he found out about Koda being Hiei's sister but he would most likely have a heart attack knowing Hiei was also Yukina's brother.
We were outside watching Koda train with Genkai's methods. Some of the things I had done under Genkai I saw her doing. I knew how difficult they were and I was surprised at how quickly she was getting through them with only having a day or so of rest. Her body was still tired and fatigued but still she pressed on. I wonder how long she had trained to do such things, I was impressed with her determination. I watched her for a few more minutes before standing up and walking up to her. She stopped what she was doing and looked to me. "Yes?" she questioned me.
"Spar with me," I said. It was more a question that a statement. She gave a curt nod and we walked away from each other. About a good twenty feet we stood apart before readying ourselves in a battle position. She stood turned to the side looking at me almost in a very challenging way, like her brother had when we had first met. I vaguely wondered if she knew how much she was like him for only having discovered him recently. Suddenly my thoughts were broken when she charged at me. It looked like a basic hand to hand for now. I carefully dodged backwards and she followed, though at a careful distance so as to not get pulled in by any surprise move. I kicked out and she jumped up landing on my leg in a crouched position with a smirk. I was so surprised at her light weight that I got distracted as she back flipped off my leg her foot catching my chi launching me into the air. She landed on her feet smirking as I feel to the ground looking a bit appalled. She started signaling and I gave a groan did she know I couldn't understand her. She suddenly figured it out and smirked again.
"S-stupid." she seemed to choke out. I gave a growl getting quickly to my feet.
"Yeah, try this." I growled holding my right hand in my left and pointing my right index finger at her. She looked a bit confused at this not understanding, I had her. "Spirit Gun!" I yelled shooting some of my spirit energy at her. I saw her eyes widen in realization. I had her or so I thought as fire suddenly deflected the attack into the ground beside her. She stood in a defensive position now fire weaving in and out of her hands almost snake like in appearance.
"What do you think you two are doing!" came Genkai's yelling behind us. Koda banished the fire with a shake of her hands and looked quite a bit sheepish.
