Some Hard Training
Neyoko's face made contact with the ground once again. She clenched her fist, grabbing dirt.
"Get up Neyoko-san. You're doing better than when we first started." Kurama stood a few feet away from her, the rose whip trailed behind him like a faithful dog.
"I've tried. I can't get them. I'm a failure." She said angrily as she sat up. She was unwilling to stand just yet.
"I really think you almost had it last time. Concentrate harder. Things like this take time."
"You aren't trying to kill me, right?" Neyoko cautiously (or precariously. Chibi Mo help!) stood up.
"I promised. I don't go back on promises."
"I think that's the problem. Whatever. I'll try again." She tried concentrating. She then tried something extremely dangerous during a fight; she closed her eyes. She trusted Kurama not to kill.
Nothing happened. Neyoko opened an eye. Three rei-tsume greeted her.
Overexcited, she bolted towards Kurama, a challenge to a true fight.
She adapted her newfound skills without knowing. Then she realized what she was doing. She was in mid-punch and Kurama moved, allowing Neyoko's face to make contact once again with the ground.
"Better. You have a unique fighting style. Very effective," Kurama complimented.
"Uh... arigatou." She replied. That was the only thing she could politely muster.
Neyoko arrived at the school at the time Kurama had suggested. Yusuke would be at the top; ditching P. E. He'd probably help her in her quest to improve her fighting.
She made sure no one was in the halls before slinking through the door and down the hall. Quickly, quietly she made her way to the roof. She met no one, just as she had hoped.
As she opened the door, someone said, "Hey, Kayko, if you're gonna try getting me into P. E. class it's not goin to work."
"Yusuke, I need you to help me. I'm working on my training a little bit and was wondering it you'd fight me."
"I thought you were Kayko. But I guess she'd be late."
"Don't change the subject. I want a fight," Neyoko said tonelessly, eyes narrowing.
"You're a wimp. You didn't even land a hit on that yokai."
"I've gotten better. Do you want proof? Kurama-kun has been helping me."
"Nice outfit. You'd fit in perfectly in America." Neyoko was wearing her white shirt and the capris.
"Don't change the damn subject!"
"I don't fight unless I feel I have to. Usually I rely on the other person to start something and then kick their ass."
Well then, she thought, I'll start something. She ran up and punched Yusuke's cheek.
Yusuke fell over, not so much as her strength, more like surprise. "What the...there was some rei in there. How'd you learn to use it that quickly?"
"I told you already. Kurama's been helping me, just like you told him to."
Yusuke stood up, rubbing his cheek. "Fine, I'll fight you. Just a regular rei fistfight, tough. Happy now?"
Neyoko nodded. "Oh, all right. No tricks. Just a fistfight."
Yusuke charged. He's fast, Neyoko realized. They exchanged and dodged each other's blows for about fifteen minutes. Yusuke wasn't hitting as hard as he could. Neyoko could easily tell. Was it because she was a girl, she was new...or possibly he was so strong that he could knock her flat with one blow? Maybe all of them.
The bell rang and they stopped immediately. Yusuke was acting normal, leaving Neyoko alone in bending over, trying to catch her breath.
Yusuke walked over to the door. He flipped a hand over his shoulder in farewell, saying, "Thanks for that. But I'll be late for class. Not that I care that much..."
Neyoko heard Yusuke leave. She waited for her breathing to settle. Neyoko decided to try regaining her catlike habits at the park. She jumped lightly into the nearest tree. Neyoko climbed down easily, until the bottom. Misjudging a step she fell, landing ![1]" she hissed.
Yes, she decided, she would go to the park. Kurama's house was too quiet at this time of day. On top of it all, she had nowhere else to go. She didn't want to fight Kuwabara today, and defiantly not Hiei, if she could even find him. There was something odd about the squirt, other than the fact he was a yokai.
She walked to the park and laid down under a tree, the most promising spot for a catnap. She closed her eyes. There was a yokai coming her way at an incredible speed.
"It's Hiei!" Neyoko said, sitting up quickly, surprised she was able to distinguish the fact so fast.
She laid back down to wait for him to come.
Hiei appeared in the tree Neyoko was laying under, the jumped down.
Lazily Neyoko asked, "What do ya want Hiei?"
"Kurama said you actually managed to learn something. So it's true, a old cat can learn new tricks."
"So what. The term is dog. Old dogs can learn new tricks. You want to find out for yourself?" she asked, hoping he would reject.
"I don't think it would be a good idea. I don't believe in going easy, no matter what. I don't feel like killing anyone today."
Neyoko mentally sighed. "How'd you know I was here?"
Hiei glared at her. "I can see."
"Wha?" Neyoko's confusion showed.
Hiei interrupted. "Koenma wants to stop the yokai from coming over peacefully. He's planning to have a tournament to settle it. Team Uramashi against five teams of yokai. If we win, the hole the yokai made will be closed and they will stop coming here. If we lose, we're all dead and the yokai can come over when ever they want. No pressure."
"And what do I have to do with all this crap?"
"Both Kurama and Yusuke said that you would make a good fifth member. You might. I don't know."
Hiei disappeared with that. No, Neyoko corrected herself, he jumped, her eyes were a tad to slow to keep up with it.
"Dammit all." She said as she fell into a catnap.
"Hey, Neyoko! Is that all you can do? Sleep and fight?" someone yelled nearby.
Neyoko opened one eye then the other after figuring out who it was; the whole group. She sat up, getting penalized when she saw spots while her head spun.[2] She waited a second before looking up.
"What are you guys doing here?" she asked.
"Hiei said he told you. We're supposed to do more dirty work for Koenma," Yusuke replied. It appeared he liked Koenma about as much as Neyoko did. "And we decided your coming with as a fifth player."
"I thought I got to choose," Neyoko complained.
Yusuke and Kuwabara rolled their eyes. Hiei looked down. Kurama smiled lightly.
"I'll do it any way. I was just wondering. Besides, it's not like I have anything else to do. When do we have to be ready?"
Everybody turned to look at Hiei. "Ten days from today," he answered.
"Ten days isn't enough time to do anything."
"Koenma wants this matter settled as quick as possible. Either that or he forgot to tell us until today," Kurama explained, as cool as ever."
"All right, all right. I got it. Kurama-kun, we should go now. Your okasan will start worrying."
The two of them walked away, leaving the group, and, soon, the park behind.
"You're not that comfortable around the group, are you, Neyoko-san?" Kurama asked.
"Not really. I'm used to everyone pretty much ignoring me or treating me like the boys at my place. But here...I think people see me as a girl." She wasn't sure if Kurama did, he surly did at first. Did she care? "I need a little help. I experiment with poisons and was wondering if you could help me make one. I mean, you're a plant master aren't you?"
"I don't know, Neyoko-san. It seems a bit dangerous to me."
"You were a thief, and you say what I'm doing –which I guess is something I get from being a cat- is dangerous? Two lives full of danger and I want a little poison. You say it's dangerous. I've been doing things like that for five years and I'm standing right here."
"All right. You persuaded me. Please stop yelling. People are starting to stare," Kurama was still keeping his cool, even under Neyoko's hot temper.
Neyoko got even more pissed off because of that. She muttered under her breath, "What a baka! I yell and his reply is people are staring at us. I could really care less. He is really like a fox, calm and mischievous."
Kurama looked back at her. "Did you say something?"
Neyoko put on a innocent look, replying, "not a thing."
Changing the subject Neyoko asked, "Why do you care so mush about a fake okasan? I'd never act like that towards mine."
Kurama was silent a moment, deciding how to answer. Finally, "Maybe because your okasan can take care of herself. After all, she did teach you everything you know, right? My okasan, she didn't do anything, and she was punished with a child thinking she was inferior. I don't any more, but that was Yoko thinking. But she risked herself to save me when I was in kindergarten."
"Never mind. You're so confused, the conversation isn't worth having."
"I guess you're right."
"I said, leave it be!"
Thankfully, Kurama did just that. Even when the two got to his house, he went strait to his room.
For a while, the cat was confused. She decided to go apologize to him for being rude. As she walked to his room, his okasan asked her to bring a plate of onigiri[3] for a snack.
Neyoko ate one quickly. She knocked on the Shoji before sliding it open with her foot. "Kurama-kun, I brought you a snack. How are you doing with your homework."
"Pretty good. Do you want to check it for me?"
Typical schoolboy. All it ever was was could you help me, Neyoko thought. Instead, she said, "I would, but I'm kinda a flunk."
"A bit like Yusuke?"
"No! School is a little pointless to me. I don't have to know math 'cept for counting, and I already know that. Everything else doesn't make any sense to know."
"Then why did you ask me how my homework was going?"
"Cuz it's important to you. I thought it'd be my way of apologizing for my temper. I know you're smarter than me."
A glint rose in his eyes. "But you know why. I've lived longer as Yoko. You tend to learn things when you're around 300 years old." He bushed a hand against her cheek.
"What was that for?!"
Smiling, Kurama replied, "You had a bit of onigire on your face."
"Well, excuse me!" Neyoko turned around and left, heading for her makeshift bed. She lay down, letting a nap ease her temper.
Neyoko woke in time to have dinner in Kurama's room. His okasan was pretty much having a date with a guy[4]. Neyoko let them have the 'family time' to themselves.
After she was done, she slipped out the back into the yard. A while later, Kurama joined her.
"Neyoko-san, is there something wrong? You seem awfully reclusive today."
Neyoko turned to look at him, twisting her back around. Kurama sat down next to her and Neyoko resumed her position.
"A little bit, I guess. I think I may just be homesick or something." She didn't want Kurama to try taking a bit of the weight she was feeling at the approaching tournament.
"That's not the only thing," Kurama pressed.
"Don't you need to spend time with that guy and his son?"
"They left a while ago. You can tell me, ((What's the translation to little sister? Chibi Mo. Help. Wouldn't it be cute if Kurama called Neyoko little sister right here???))
"Do you want to go to that tournament? All it seems like to me is pointless slaughter."
Kurama laughed. "I think you've spent way to much time around Hiei. That's exactly what he thought the dark tournament was. But now that you mention it, it wont be as challenging as the dark tournament..." He trailed off, not wanting to think about what happened.
It was that one person's fault on the last team they fought. Neyoko was curious about what could have happened that he wouldn't talk about? She decided not to ask.
Changing the subject, Neyoko asked, "Would Kuwabara be a challenging opponent?"
As if reading her mind, Kurama answered, "He won't fight you Neyoko. First of all, you're an alli, and second of all, you're... you. It goes against his honor code."
Shame looking at girls isn't, Neyoko thought. "Ten days, it's not a lot of time. I don't think I can test it. I need something I know I can fight back if I screw up. I guess I'll refrain from using it for a while."
"Refrain. A good word for a flunk. I'll help you tomorrow. After school."
Neyoko looked at him. She found herself smiling as she looked back out to the darkness.
Kurama got up, leaving Neyoko alone. Neyoko was to restless to sleep that night. Her smile widened, she was getting back her catness. On top of it all, sitting was getting annoying. So she got up, deciding to take her own tour of the city.
First she went to the park. Then, Neyoko discovered Yusuke's house. She noted the distance from his house to Kuwabara's. She wondered if Hiei had a house, or did he live in a tree or something.
She sensed Hiei's rei coming towards her. She guessed he was nocturnal as well.
"Speak of the Devil, I was just thinking about you Hiei," she greeted as he came to her.
"I thought so."
"Do you have any family?"
Hiei stared at her, a cold, icy stare (kinda hard for a fire demon like Hiei to give a cold stare? Sorry, one of those irresistible bad jokes...) and for a while Neyoko thought he wasn't going to answer.
Hiei turned, walking a few steps away from Neyoko. "Why not. It's not like you can tell her. I have a sister in the demon realm. Her name is Yukina. Kuwabara has a bit of a liking for her."
Without waiting for an answer, or response, he disappeared. Neyoko watched after him, shocked he actually told her anything.
After that, she went back to Kurama's house. Cat-like Neyoko climbed onto the roof. She lay on her back, hands behind her head [5]. She connected the stars into odd shapes until the sunlight blurred them away. Neyoko slipped inside silently.

Author's endnote: This is done due to my teacher's lack of homework. Thanks to them I have been able to type it all out. Next chapter will be along as soon as my fingers are better, or I can actually log on to the site. Sorry if I got annoying and know-it-allsish towards the end, I get inspired by things and I want to footnote them. Thanks for the few reviews I have. And special thanks to Chibi Mo. She helped me with the Japanese words...
