Training of Death...

Galena stood there watching the few trainees she had. Yara Peas, Nikki Kino, Hiei Jaganshi, Kurama Minamino, Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara. Most of them came from Japan but the two who didn't had been her students for a while. Sighing, Galena watched the six with cold clear elderly eyes. This was their second time threw the Spirit Car Wash. She hoped that they wouldn't be knocked unconscious but so far Kuwabara and Yusuke lay on the ground. Sighing deeply Galena walked away.

"I can't believe these kids are the Spirit Detectives…" Galena muttered as she looked back to the Car wash. Hiei had just gone threw and he could barely stand. Again the elder sighed. 'Genkai what did you get me into here?' Galena thought. Sighing again the elder walked far away from the car wash and waited at the house. It didn't take long for the conscious students to follow. Yusuke and Kuwabara where not among them. "We wait for the fools."

Everyone nodded and fell to the ground at Galena's feet. Smiling slightly she turned to look at the two females she was training before hand. They seemed to have taken the car wash well. Sadly they didn't seem like they could handle more training.

"Yara, Nikki. Get up and go inside. You two are done for the day…" Galena snapped as she glared at the females but neither moved.

"We are going to train… With the boys…" Nikki muttered under her raged breath. Galena smiled and nodded. She turned to the two demon boys and watched their unchanging faces. It was only an hour later that Yusuke and Kuwabara finally returned. And by that time everyone was ready to train again.

"Good. Now we go onto phase two of training day number one," Galena said as she walked away. Kurama, Hiei, Yara and Nikki followed obediently while Yusuke and Kuwabara looked at Galena's back in shock.

"You mean there is more?" Yusuke called. Galena nodded but kept on walking. It was only minutes later that Yusuke and Kuwabara took off to catch up to the traveling five. Once they did, Galena had already stopped next to a huge mountainside.

"I want each of you to run up to the top of this mountain and grab one flag," Galena said. Everyone but the two girls smirked at this.

"What is the catch?" Yara finally asked as she looked over the mountainside.

"The girls don't have to do this training yet. They just have to make it up twice while each guy has to carry one on their backs… The girls must complete this test once without help from the boys. Figure out how to do this test without fail. Because if one boy drops the girls at least once… Everyone has to start over," Galena said as she walked away.

"What does she mean?" Yusuke asked as he turned to Kurama.

"It means that us boys have to bring the girls up to the mountain top on our backs and not fall once. Like say, Hiei and I went up and we didn't fail. But when you and Kuwabara go up, Kuwabara falls to his knees. That means everyone starts over," Kurama clarified. Yusuke nodded.

"Look, we can all go up at once and test everything… Try and find the safest and easiest route. Then the guys can practice carrying us around down here before heading up the mountain," Nikki said as she thought about it. Each guy agreed and soon the six headed up the mountain. Yusuke fell once or twice but no other problems seemed to arise. Once the gang was back down. Yara and Nikki looked to the boys.

"Who gets to be the lucky two and carry us up first?" Nikki asked. The guys looked back and forth to each other but soon decided on Yusuke and Kuwabara. It wasn't long before Yusuke and Kuwabara began their journey up and before they slid back down...

"BUT!" Kuwabara cried. Yara was sitting on his back. She frowned as well and wondered what was going on.

"There is a spell on the mountain, it makes sure that the paths don't fail for someone alone but when they carry another on their back each path is as dangerous as the other..." Galena said with a smile. She had been watching the crew from the woods and wondered when they might figure it out. But she decided not to be mean and tell them what was with the mountain.

"Fine! Come on Kuwabara... Let try again and this time be more careful," Yusuke growled as he pushed Nikki up higher on his back. Kuwabara nodded and the two took off again. This time they got a little farther up the mountain before they slid back down.

"This is going to be a while isn't it?" Kurama said as he looked at the two teens. They grunted and threw the girls higher on their backs and headed up again.

"Why don't you two do some other training in the mean time?" Galena asked as she turned around. The two demon looked at each other before following the elderly lady. Once they got back to the temple, Galena entered the living room and turned on the TV. It showed Yusuke and Kuwabara still trying to get up the mountain. "Go make me something to eat."

"Like what?" Kurama asked. Galena shrugged.

"Some big meal..." Galena snapped. Kurama nodded and headed off to the kitchen with Hiei in tow. Looking around, Kurama soon got everything out that he needed to make a meal. Food was no problem. Whatever Kurama needed, was already sitting around waiting to be used. Once Kurama began, Hiei found no use to be in the kitchen so he left. But entering the living room proved to be pointless as well for all he saw was Yusuke and Kuwabara fall yet again. The girls almost looked ready to fall asleep on their backs. Snorting slightly Hiei left and headed for his room. It wasn't much in the room. A bed, a closet, a nightstand, a desk, a chair, and a few drawers. Not much at all. Sighing, Hiei turned to his suitcase. It was a small size but still held a lot. He remembered that Yukina had helped packing.

"Stupid sis..." Hiei muttered as he sat down on his bed. He wasn't tired at all. Just as bored as all hell. A few minutes passed before he got up and entered the living room again. Yusuke and Kuwabara had gotten a little farther than before but they still kept on falling. Hiei snorted, forcing Galena to turn and watch him.

"If your so bored, go read a book," Galena snapped. Hiei frowned.

"I can't read," he snapped. Galena looked at him a little surprised.

"What do you mean you 'can't read'?" Galena growled. Hiei snorted again.

"It means I can't read. Everything becomes blurry when I look at a book or anything with words or symbols. I got threw life not knowing how to read just fine..." Hiei snapped.

"Must have been hard trying to find a place. Like a town or something..." Galena said as she sifted he weight around. Hiei again snorted.

"Some what... My hearing is a hell of a lot better than most because I had to learn how to listen in on about ten conversations all at once to find out news, where I was, what was what, and everything else. Not once did I ever ask for help... I kept quite waiting for info and once I got it, I left..." Hiei sighed as he turned away.

"How did you do if no one would talk..." Galena asked. Hiei paused.

"I could always find someone who would talk. Buy a drink or two and there you go... All the info you needed. And even better, the bastard never had a clue he told anyone anything after," Hiei said with a large smirk.

"How did you know the money system?"

"I didn't... But the bartenders never knew. They always thought I was already drunk and never said a thing. And if they where really nice they would give me change. I always paid to much. I thought about three different colored bills would be enough. No one ever complained."

"Bet you lost a lot of money that way..."

"Hell no... I stole the money from other drunks... Fast... Run in and out before anyone knew what was going on."

"How bout food for you?"

"Again... I was fast."

"Did you ever get caught?"

"Once... But I showed him never to mess with me..."

"I can't believe it... I didn't know anyone who could get threw life without knowing how to read!" Galena called as she smiled and shook her head. Hiei snorted.

"Maybe they were never fast enough to get away..." Hiei said as he flitted over to Galena's side. The woman smiled and nodded.

"Guess I didn't..." Galena said as she turned to the kitchen where Kurama stood holding some food. He had heard the entire conversation.

"FOX!" Hiei called out in surprise when he spotted Kurama standing in the doorway. Saying nothing, Kurama walked in and gave Galena the food. After which he grabbed Hiei and pulled him out of the living room.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" Kurama shouted at the fire demon. Hiei said nothing. "I could have taught you!"

"I AM FINE NOT KNOWING!" Hiei shouted back. With that he flitted away. Kurama growled and punched a nearby wall. Looking up he spotted Galena watching.

"He doesn't know what help is. Isn't use to it. Nor is he use to friends," Galena said as she turned back to the TV. It showed Yusuke and Kuwabara halfway up the mountain. The girls where fast asleep on their backs. She smiled. "They don't know teamwork do they?"
