Sona and Hiei stood in their loft. It was remarkably homey. There was a gigantic room at the back with bay windows. The view was incredible. Skyline as far as the eye could see. This would be the training room. Hiei had already been here for awhile unpacking weaponry and weights. She hadn't taken him for the interior decorator type of person. Oh well. Guess people aren't what they appear to be.

There was one bathroom. Sona was appalled at the shower. It had freaking lights inside it so when you took a shower you could see your silhouette. Besides that, there was no lock on the door! Well at least she had her own room. Bad part about living in Tokyo is you have traditional sliding paper doors. So basically you can see the outline of a person in their room. She decided if she was going to dress she'd do it in the bathroom because it had a normal wooden door. It was like Fate wanted something to happen between the two of them, but she sure as hell wouldn't allow it, whatever it was, to happen.

Botan had dropped off a chest with clothes inside, including her school uniform. But I'll be damned if every piece of clothing in the chest wasn't either a short skirt, or a shirt with a plunging neck line. There were two pairs of jeans. Tight jeans. So tight you can see the line of your underwear, jeans! And they were low rise hip huggers. Sona deducted that Botan expected her to wear thongs or G-strings. She had a good laugh at this until she discovered packages of thongs and G-strings in the bottom of the chest. Damn you Botan! Sona decided against the thong and thought instead she'd wear the G-strings until she could get a decent pair of underwear. Botan indeed got some kind of poetic revenge from this act. The next time she would see Botan, she decided, would be the time she decapitated her and mounted her head on a stick while parading her through the streets.

"Go ahead and get dressed for training." Hiei suggested after she had discovered Botan's little joke.

"Umm… don't think that will be happening any time soon. Only clothes Botan left me were skirts and little pieces of fabric that appear to shirts." Sona sighed while shivering at the thought of being seen in either.

"Damn her. I told her to get clothes for you that you could move in." Hiei grunted.

Obviously surprised Hiei had given Botan orders for what she was to wear, Sona added "Oh believe me, if you could have seen the whore like clothing she picked out," she caught herself before blowing up, "lets just say, Botan will pay for this."

"Here," Hiei threw her a pair of his black gi pants, "just use those for now."

"Uh, thanks." she stammered.

After filing through the clothes again she finally found a tank that would be suitable for training, and if that wasn't good enough she fit in Hiei's pants just fine. She just put on her army boots for now. Sona had the fighting look, if you didn't count the red midriff top that looked longer amongst the clothes ten minutes ago. Se la vi. Guess it would have to do for now.

Hiei was twirling a sword around and didn't notice her enter. He was good. His swordsmanship was real good. She just stood in awe of his abilities. But unbeknownst to him, she had some tricks up her skimpy midriff sleeve.

A couple minutes later he noticed her watching him. She would have blushed but she was too taken back for that.

He seemed a bit embarrassed that she saw him indulged in his practice. Finally she broke the ice. "Well looks as if you know your way around sword."

"Nice outfit." he said ignoring her.

Yeah, now she blushed.

"Lets get started." he threw her a sword. "Ditch the boots, they'll make it hard for you to practice footwork."

She did as he said. As long as he didn't order her to take anything else off.

"I believe your assuming I've never handled a sword before." she quickly copied every move he had made, with precise delivery.

"Evidently I underestimated you. Good, I won't have to take it easy on you." he smiled.

She laughed mockingly, and disappeared through shear speed as she advanced on him. He was caught off guard, and instead of lopping off his head or any other limbs, she trusted the blade directly into his making a cross shape defense. This move pushed him back into the wall. Still under the influence of utter amazement he didn't push back. By now she wasn't breaking a sweat, and with her face an inch away from his she whispers "Remember this, you treat me as you would any enemy, I am not a child and I can handle myself. If I feel your slacking on me because you don't think I can handle it, you'll know it." Sona doubled back landing a good ten feet away.

It clicked in his head suddenly what just happened. He looked a bit more on guard now after almost getting his ass kicked. "Point taken." he muttered.

"Now that you know, how about a challenge?" she asked.

"What type of challenge?"

"First one to be pinned buys a pizza for dinner." she suggests.

He laughs. "A pizza?"

"What? All I had was a measly cola this afternoon. I'm starved." she confessed smiling slightly.

"Okay, deal." he caved.

"Good."

He started towards her rapidly. "Heads up." she said while dodging by using his shoulders as an anchor for her hands to flip over him. Hiei predicts her landing and advances before she touches down. Sona is knocked down. He quickly takes the upper hand and goes in for pinning her. His hands hold her wrists to the ground, while he sits on her.

"Holy hell!" she mutters angrily.

"I guess you lose." he laughs.

"Guess again." she wraps her leg around his and forces herself to turn him over.

"What the hell is going on here?" Yusuke asks from the doorway.

Him and the rest of the gang must have walked in while they were fighting. Sona, who was lying more than sitting atop Hiei pinning him down, started furiously blushing.

"Figures she likes it on top." Kuwabara says beside Yusuke.

Shizuru punches him. "Maybe we should leave." Botan suggests.

Sona notices she is still sitting on top of him, and quickly gets up, completely red in the face by now, and tries to gather what dignity she has left. "Okay, nothing is going on! We're training damn it!"

"I never get to train like that." Yusuke says still stunned. Kayko pokes him in the side.

"Ha! Ha! Shorty's got caught getting some!" Kuwabara laughed.

"At least he was getting some." Yusuke mumbled.

"What did you say?" Kuwabara demanded.

"You must be hearing things again Kuwabara." Yusuke laughed sarcastically.

Kurama stood in the back by Botan laughing hysterically at the conversation.

Hiei, still sitting on the floor, was crimson as well.

"Oh for god sake, nothing was going on!" Sona pleaded.

"Okay, it seems we just walked in on you in a compromising position. We'll forget about it and just move on." Botan said saving Sona from having an aneurysm.

"Thank you." the now exhausted Sona replied.

"But I do have one question." Botan smiled "Why are you wearing his pants?"

They all laughed and fell over as the vein in Sona's forehead throbbed. "Grrr… if you had just picked out normal clothes…!" She yelled while chasing Botan around the room armed with a sword.

"Now don't get hostile! I was just joking! Don't kill me!" Botan cried.

"I'm a woman on the edge and I'm not afraid to use this!" Sona called after her.

"Ahhh!!!" Botan cried.

"Should we break this up?" Kurama asked.

"Give them another ten minutes." Hiei suggested while smirking.
