After two hours of explanation with a lot of stuff not even mentioned yet
Reioko was on the edge of maybe thinking this was all true. Her gut
feeling was saying, "Yes yes yes! Believe it!" But her head was saying
"no no no! What the hell are you thinking!?" Of course she wasn't
thinking straight because she was half asleep. "Hey sorry to stop you
again, but I have to get up at five to go to work and I'm really tired. So
if you'll all kindly leave now."
"Yes you're right. Hiei can stay with you for tonight and they can change
every three nights or so until you get the hang of this. And they have to
go everywhere." Koenma said.
"Why is anyone going to stay here?" Reioko said. Koenma rolled his eyes
"Incase of a...umm accident. Don't ask questions now you'll find out soon
enough."
"Yeah well peachy! That idiot over there isn't staying alone with me in
this house ever!" Reioko said getting mad.
Kuwabara smirked "Awww come on I know how much you really want me. It's al-
" WACK! "Owww!" Kuwabara whined. Reioko gave him a satisfied grin.
"Thank god my parents are away on business in France for 3 weeks." Reioko
said dryly. Koenma shook his head. "We will deal with that when the time
comes. And now it's time for us to be off." He said walking out of the
door Botan, Yusuke, Kurama and Kuwabara following.
"Well I guess you can stay in the guest room." Reioko told Hiei after they
had all left. Hiei was still standing in the shadows so Reioko hadn't
really gotten a good look at him she had guess about the child of the dark
thing. When he did finally come out completely she knew she was right on.
"Are you gothic or something?" She asked him with a funny look. Hiei
glared. "No I just like black. Is that a problem?" He said darkly.
Reioko looked surprised "Wow you can talk." Hiei kept glaring. "Ok then
off to the guest room." She said walking out of the room. Hiei followed
close behind.
*~*~*
"There are extra blankets in the closet if you need them the AC in here is
always colder than it should be." Reioko said once they had reached the
guest room. Hiei just stared at her. "Oh sorry you do sleep right?"
Reioko asked sheepishly thinking maybe she'd said something wrong. Hiei
still glared at her. "I guess that's a yes." she said. Hiei still stood
there glaring. Reioko sat down on the bed. "Just thought I'd let you know
that I've decided to help you people with this thing whatever it is." She
said twiddling her thumbs absent-mindedly. Hiei actually gave a small
smile that faded quickly. "You don't know what you are getting yourself
into." he said looking at the wall. "You're right. That's why you need to
answer my questions. Everyone of them or I won't do it." Reioko said
smugly. "You can't make me tell you anything but I will anyway." He said
glaring at her still. Reioko glared right back her aqua blue eyes and his
blood red ones staring into each other's intensely. "Actually I think I
only have one important question right now." She said still in the stare
down.
Hiei crossed his arms. "And what is that?"
"What the hell is an "accident"? The way that Koenma guy was saying it
made it sound like I'm going to wet my fuckin' bed!" She started to yell.
Hiei smirked breaking the stare down. "Once you start to remember your
past, everything will start to come back and you might let out some spirit
energy unintentionally. If one of us is there then we can tell you how to
channel it and make it stop. Good enough of an answer for you?"
Reioko gave him a "you need to go to a loony bin but I'll trust you" look.
"At the same time we will also be training you everyday for the dark
tournament. That is the reason you have to come back to this in the first
place." He finished.
"Ok then, they never told me what the dark tournament is." Reioko said.
"It isn't something we intended on doing. Long story short this bastard
Toguro is forcing it upon us. It's a fighting tournament among demons.
Rich humans come and bet money on the fights. No real point in my
opinion." Hiei said coldly. Reioko sighed and flopped down onto the bed.
"That sucks shit." Reioko said.
"Yes it does. But before that you to refresh your memory. Training from
us." He said his arms still crossed.
Reioko sat up. "The training thing is fine only if it doesn't interfere
with work, Firefly and shows. Oh yeah and school as soon as it starts."
Hiei chuckled. "Whatever you think."
Reioko shot him a sinister look. "I get up at five for work. It lasts
till eleven o'clock. I've already thought of the excuse. You're a friend
visiting from Germany."
Hiei snorted. "Germany?"
"Got any better ideas?!"
He rolled his eyes. "And when we're at work you're going to be useful. I
can tell from you're little ride yesterday you know what to do with a
pitchfork." She said smiling.
Hiei glared again.
"You don't talk unless you have to do you?"
Hiei still just glared. Reioko got up off the bed and walked out the door
muttering a "good night." That was good enough for him.
