Author's Notes: Yo, hi guys! Thanks for the support on the first
episode. Heh heh, uhhhhhh, thanks for you guys helping me on the spelling
of the characters. Most of the reviews were about Kurama's name though. I
wanted to make sure I didn't screw up anymore names so I checked out the
Yu Yu Hakusho official web site. Dah dah dah, yes I went through all that
trouble to find out the spelling of Kurama's name. I feel so embarrassed.
Hope ya enjoy this episode.

NEXT DAY
Hikage slept in and everybody was already at the arena. Of course accept Hiei and Kurama. They were in the living room eating breakfast. Hikage slowly opened her eyes as the light came through the window and gleamed on her fiery hair making it blaze with radiance. When her eyes were all the way open she sighed and then slid her legs out of bed. She stood up from the bed and tried to stabilize her body from the little tiredness that was still in her.
She walked to the living room and saw Hiei eating waffles (well he has to eat something) and Kurama eating two sunny side up eggs and toast. Kurama said looking at her with a good morning smile " Good morning sleepy head. Would you like some breakfast?" Hikage blushed and said " I'll just make it myself." Kurama's smile suddenly turned into a frown. Hikage walked to the fridge and opened it. She looked inside and saw the box of eggs. She took it out of the fridge and got a pan on the stove and she got the materials she needed to make a sunny side up egg ( I'm not too good with remembering how to cook certain things so I can't give you details on that)
AFTER SHE'S DONE MAKING ALL OF HER BREAKFAST
She had two sunny side up eggs, three slices of toast cut in perfect halves, and a blotch of hash browns. Kurama then said in surprise to her ability to cook " Where did you learn to cook from?" Hikage poked her food for about a second and said looking down at her food " My mother." Hiei then said with a careless tone of voice "Where is she now?" Hikage then looked away trying to ignore the question. She then said " At home." She lied again. She didn't want anyone to know about her parents death. If they did they would find out who they were. She didn't want anyone to know anything about most everything about her, so she lies. Lies about her whole life so she can remain a secret. Hiei grunted at her answer. Something wasn't right.
Hikage started eating her breakfast. When she was done she got up from the table and went back to the bed room. She looked at the shelf of clothes and picked out a silk shirt that had butterflies on it with a blue background. She also chose some silk black pants that went a little lower than her knees. She walked to the bathroom and locked the door behind her. She then put the clothes on and walked out of the bath room. She took out the braid that Kurama put in. She then put a binder at the shoulder point of her hair. She swirled the rest of her hair with two split lines of hair and then tied a ribbon around her hair in a bow at the bottom of the swirly, leaving some hair dangling at the end ( If you know Yue from CC Sakura then that's what her hair looks like, only a little but shorter and it doesn't dangle around the floor. Even though Yue is the name of her father, Her father looks different from the one in CC Sakura ).
Hikage then walked out of the bed room and Kurama said " You look beautiful. You forgot your shoes though." Hikage then said with a serious face " No, I don't want them today. I'll just fight in my socks." She held her hand up half way and a small light appeared and then it disappeared when a white rose appeared in her hand. She then walked to the door and said " We should be going. I hear today's team is tough."
AT THE ARENA
Hikage was anxious to hear who the next opponent was. She wanted to fight them. The announcer then said " The next fighter is Susuma Taiyo!" Hikage's pupils grew smaller in shock. She thought to herself " What's with this? Practically all the people I knew in my life are in this tournament. One after the other. Could this be a coincidence?" She then started walking toward the ring when she heard Hiei say "That fighter has the same last name as you. Could he be your cousin?" He wanted answers and nothing else. He didn't care if it brought back bad memories. Hikage had no reason to keep this from everyone. She responded without turning " He's my brother." Then walked on the the platform. Hiei was shocked that she had an older brother. Hiei then grunted . Susuma was wearing a white shirt and black pants. There was a black shall over his shirt that stretched all the way down to his ankles (kinda like the one Genkai wore when she was the masked fighter). His hair was dark brown and his eyes were a radiant green.
The announcer then gave them the signal to fight. Susuma then said " You look a little bit taller. Maybe that's because I left you when you were young. I celebrated your birthday while I was gone though. You should be about thirteen shouldn't you? Oh well, I hate to be doing this during our reunion, but I won't kill you. Fight your best even if I am your brother." Hikage then said " I appreciate you coming just because of me. I'll give you a long and unforgettable fight. I hope we can be together more often." She then raised the white rose in the air and said " Sword of The White Rose!" A sword appeared in her hand. Her brother drew his sword and they charged at each other. Their swords connected and they both pushed away making a strong gale. The teams on the side could feel their blows. Kurama thought to himself " Her sword of the white rose is like my rose whip. Only it's white and a sword." He wondered where she got this technique from.
After a couple of blows they charged at each other again. They pushed away. They were thirty feet apart. Hikage was on her guard. She had her sword ready for the next attack. Susuma lowered his sword. Hikage wasn't sure at first what he was doing, but then caught on and lowered her sword as well. It was quite silent. The announcer then said " What is this sudden silence folks? Just a few seconds ago they were clashing like crazy. Now they're standing there silently not doing anything!"
Genkai then said to Yusuke " Most likely means that the next attack will be the last." Yusuke then said " Why the hell doesn't she attack now? He's open and sitting there like an idiot." Genkai answered his question " It's an understanding of the samurai that you indicate your last blow when against an opponent samurai. That is not always the case, but she wanted to show respect for her elder brother." Of course Yusuke thought it was a stupid idea, but who cares, it wasn't his battle.
They charged at each other and when they were close enough to make their last blow they yelled out " Miracle Blade of The White Rose!" A dome of blue spirit energy surrounded them so that the audience could not see. When the dome cleared Susuma's sword was pierced through Hikage. Hikage's sword was under Susuma's arm. Susuma then said with a warm smile " You were a little off." Hikage responded with a weak smile on " I guess I was." Hikage's sword dropped from her hand. She weakly raised her arms. Her hands were beside one another and then said " Sphere of The Black Moon!" She then forced her hands against his chest. It looked like an explosion of black against his chest and then some of the explosion blew past him. His pupils were now small in shock. He loosened his grip on the sword and fell down. Hiei was shocked as to what it was she dosed her brother with. Hikage then pulled the sword out of her stomach as if it were a sword case. Not making the least flinch. Her face looked solid and unafraid. A face that looked like she had seen everything once before. Hiei acted unimpressed with her pulled the sword out of her stomach and grunted.
Kurama had a concerned face on. He wasn't worried about the outcome of the next fight. Has concerned about her condition. He then yelled to Hikage " Hikage, I will be fighting the next opponent." Hikage gave him a ghostly stare while turning around to see him. She then said " I wanna battle this next one. Don't worry about the sword thing." The announcer then said " The next fighter against Ms.Taiyo is Mihara Watase!" The young man walked up to the ring. He was wearing a white shirt under a traditional black shirt that had a stiff, up right collar and buttoned all the way down. He was also wearing very baggy red pants. His hair was black and short. His eyes were a beautiful amber. Hikage wasn't surprised that her ex- boyfriend was there. After seeing her brother and the man who killed her parents. This shouldn't be a surprise. Mihara walked up to her with a smirk and then touched her cheek with his hand and said " You're still as beautiful as I remember. I don't remember why I broke up with you though." Hikage gave him a disgusted face and said " You left me for another girl remember. She was so pretty, so wonderful you said." Mihara then said " Yeah, but you were much better than her." Hikage then yelled in furry " Then why the hell did you brake up with me?!" He responded " She lied to me saying that you were going out with someone else." Hikage then spat back " Right,and I'm suppose to get together with you because you believed her.
Kurama was sure that he was an old boyfriend or something. The way he was looking at her. He could tell that he was more than a flirtatious guy looking to win a girl. He had that look that he wanted her back. Kurama wasn't worried though. Hikage didn't seem to like him that much.
The announcer then said to the two covering the microphone " Uh, guys, could you wrap up the talking and let me start you guys fighting?" They then walked to opposite ends of the ring and the announcer gave the signal to fight.
Yusuke then said to Kurama " What do you think she can do with her bare hands?" Kurama then said " We'll have to watch." Yusuke didn't like the idea of laying back and seeing what she was going to do. He wanted to know now. He was too curious. Hikage charged at Mihara as he stood there. Hikage threw in some punches as Mihara dodged every one. Hikage threw in another punch and Mihara gripped her arm and pulled her closer. He held his other arm behind Hikage's back holding her against his body. His lips were so close to hers that she could feel the consonants rolling off his lips. Mihara then said " I really do want to get back together with you." Mihara felt Hikage's arm weaken and let it go. He put his hand on her chin and his thumb touched her lips. He then said " Don't tell me you don't want me back either." He eyes were dazed and he inched closer.
Kurama was getting jealous and it didn't look like she was going to back off too soon. When Mihara's lips were half an centimeter close to Hikage's, a blue, clearish mist came from Mihara's mouth into Hikage's. Mihara automatically fell as he gasped for air and his pupils were small. Hikage then revealed a disgusted, but non caring face and grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up to her height and said " I remember now, you broke up with me." She then threw him into the air as she got ready to give her last punch. She then said " Fist of The Mortal Flame!" She punched him all the way up in the air with an uppercut. When he came back she swirled around and kicked him hard and yelled with anger " This is for the hell you put me through!" He crashed into the wall that was under the audience and fell. He was twitching and got up while the announcer was counting down. He got back on the platform before the count was finished. Hikage yelled with anger " When will you stop moving?!" Her body was surrounded by red energy.
Yusuke then said " What the hell was that thing she did to the guy before? She sucked something out of his mouth." Genkai then said " It's her way of taking his spirit energy." Yusuke then thought to himself how gross the mist stuff looked coming out of the guys mouth.
Kurama then said " Interesting, her power is growing faster at the rate of her fighting today. Her spirit energy is monumental. I wonder where it came from." Hiei wasn't listening to Kurama. He didn't care about Hikage anymore. Whenever he tried to get an answer she spat back a lie or something near that. She wasn't of any of his concern. Not that she was in the beginning, but he was trying to be cautious.
Hikage's hair looked like a wildly spread fire. It gave her an ominous look. When she had built up the energy for her one and final attack. " Phoenix of The White Fire!" A white fire appeared from her hand and then the fire charged at Mihara as a Phoenix Bird. It slammed him against the same wall that he had gotten kicked against. The audience in the first four rows had to run for their lives so that they wouldn't fall or get killed. When the smoke cleared from the attack Mihara wasn't turned to dust, but he was fainted. The announcer then said " That was a truly inspired attack Ms.Taiyo. I thought he was going to turn to nothing for sure. Could you explain to us, the attack?" Hikage grunted with an irritated face and said " All you need to know is that he's not dead, but he lost." She then walked away from the announcer and to the edge. She jumped off the edge to her team. After she jumped off she wobbled a little and then it got to be a concern. She was loosing some of her vision as if everything was going out of focus and she felt this heat coming into her body telling her to shut down. She started falling and then started putting her hands on the side of the platform. She was trying to stabilize herself. Then the heat started going away and she could see her vision coming back.
She then stood up and turned around seeing Kurama running to her with a concerned face on. When Kurama got there he said " What was all that about? Are you sick?" Hikage then said " I'm fine. It was probably just the energy that I lost draining out of me. I think I should go out and train some. It'll make me feel better. Actually, the hotel has a pool. I'll just swim."
AT THE HOTEL
Hikage looked at the shelf of clothes hoping there was a swimming suit. Yep, it was a two piece. The top half split where her bust (bust is another word for breasts. Sorry, just really shy) was. That part was red and the inch thick line under the top part was white. It was made of elastic and surrounded by white fabric. There was black sheet of fabric that covers the belly. The bottom part had the same elastic strip to hold the bottom on. The rest of the bottom was colored black and looked like short shorts. She went to the bathroom and put on her swimming suit. She walked out of the bathroom and then out of the bed room with a towel that was red and had Hello Kitty on it.
When she got to the living room everybody was standing by the door ready to go to the pool. She was surprised. She then said to them in assumption " I guess we're all going to the pool." Botan opened the door and they all walked out.
While they were walking to the pool Kurama walked faster so that he could catch up with Hikage. She was wrapped in a towel, so Kurama couldn't see her swimming suit. Before he was able to reach her, he saw the place in her back where the stab from today went through. Even when the towel covered it. He then walked next to Hikage and turned to her while walking and said " Are you sure that the stab is fine?" Hikage then answered with a blank expression " I'm not bleeding, so don't worry about it." She then walked ahead. Hikage was right. She wasn't bleeding. The cut should be gushing with blood, but it wasn't. There were no splotches on her towel. Did she have a secret? Meanwhile he could hear Hiei calling Kuwabara an idiot for bumping into him while trying to flirt with Yukina. Botan was talking to Kayko.
Kurama was wearing purple swimming shorts. Hiei was wearing black swimming shorts with two white lines going down the side (like the gothic dresser he is). Botan was wearing a one piece with Hello Kitty on it ( Not big on hello kitty, but I think it's a cute little character) and a pink background. Kayko was wearing a two piece. It covered all of her bust. It had Hawaiian flowers on it. The flowers were different shades of pink. The background was red. The bottom was like any other two piece bottom. Same design. Yusuke was wearing dark green swimming shorts that said "F U". Genkai was wearing shorts and a short sleeve T-shirt. They were both pink. Kuwabara was wearing blue swimming shorts. Yukina was wearing a blue one piece.
AT THE POOL
Everybody else jumped into the monumental pool while Hiei and Kurama sat on beach chairs set up around the pool. There was a huge fountain at the end of the pool. The fountain was in the shape of a huge griffin. Under it was a platform that the water fell on and then fell off into the pool. On the platform Hikage sat, holding her legs against her chest while the water fell on her. She looked down at the water falling off the platform. She felt tired and nonfunctional. She then traced her fingers up and down the cut. It didn't hurt the least bit, but it bothered her. She sighed and then closed her eyes.
The platform directly connected to the edge of the pool. Botan was about to walk past her, but then realized that she hadn't been in the pool since they got to the pool. She then yelled to Hikage and said " Hey, Ms.Taiyo, you should get in the pool and have some fun. Everybody'll think you're a stick in the mud if you don't." There was no response. Not even a grunt. She then walked onto the platform and shook her about two times saying " Ms.Taiyo, are you all right?" When she didn't respond she shook her harder and harder yelling " Ms.Taiyo, wake up would you. This isn't funny!" Hikage finally, but slowly opened her eyes. She then said " What's up?" Botan said with an angry face " What's up?! You scared me half to death. I thought you were dead!" Hikage responded with a sleepy voice " Must have fallen asleep." Botan then said still angry " Must have! Just don't do that to me again!" Hikage made a grunt sounding like a yes. Botan then left her alone. When Hikage looked to her left she saw Kurama nearly out of his seat getting ready to get up and find out if something was wrong, but he saw her moving and active. He then relaxed back in his chair when he saw nothing wrong. He wasn't going to believe her when she said she was ok after her brother stabbed her.
Hikage then got up and walked off the platform to the edge of the hot tub. She dunked her body into the hot tub. She didn't want to scare Botan again so she barely kept her eyes open, but she had the ability to keep herself awake. She stared down at the water. Her eyes turned red, but nothing else happened. The hot tub was by the entrance so it wasn't hard for other demons to spot her. They all giggled or blushed as they walked past her. They were all too shy to go up and flirt with her. They admired her beauty from beach chairs and tables with umbrella's.
Shishi Wakamaru's team walked into the room and they weren't paying any attention to Hikage accept for Shishi. The beauty of Hikage stopped Shishi in his tracks. He then said to his team " You can all go into the pool. I'll be in the hot tub." They nodded their heads and dove into the pool. Shishi walked toward the hot tub and walked down the steps into the hot tub and walked in front of her asking " May I join you?" Hikage focused her gaze to Shishi and said with a tired face " Sure, I don't care." Shishi sat right next to Hikage and said " So, where do you come from?" He said as he stretched his arm over her and resting it on the edge of the hot tub behind her shoulders. She responded with a tired face " I came from the human world and am one hundred percent human." She then took her left hand and used it to lift his right arm back by him. Then the smile on his face turned into a frown. He then put his smile back on and said " I've been watching your fights." Hikage then said with her continuous tired face " Really? I didn't think I was worth watching." He then held her chin up and over to him since she had been looking down the whole time and said " Don't say that, your beauty is too monumental to miss. I saw the battle when you got stabbed. Could I see it." She then said standing up in front of him with her waist below the water " It's not too bad. It doesn't hurt or anything." He held the sides of her back and traced his left thumb up and down the slice. He said " It looked pretty painful when it plunged into you." Hikage responded with a tired voice " Yeah, a little bit." Shishi then said " May I have the honors of wrapping it with cloth?" She then said "I don't care." He then lifted her hair out of the water and her undid the the long ribbon in her hair. He dropped her hair back into the water and saw a a drop of blood roll down her back. He touched his hands gently to the sides of her back and licked the drop of blood up her back all the way back up to the cut. He then said with a lustful voice "Your blood doesn't taste one hundred percent human, but it does taste like liquified candy." She was too tired to react to what he said. He wrapped the cloth around her stomach. When he was done he asked her " You wanna see my hotel room?" Hikage wasn't to sure what she was saying, but she thought it wouldn't hurt and said " Sure." Shishi took her hand in his hand and kissed it.
He then held her hand and he walked out of the hot tub with her. Before they left the room Hikage showed some concern and said " Shouldn't I tell my team that I'm going to see your hotel room?" Shishi then said with a quick flash of the eye " No, you'll be fine."
AT SHISHI'S HOTEL ROOM
Shishi then said " You can go watch T.V. on the couch while I get us some robes so that we feel more comfortable." Hikage sat on the couch and turned on the T.V. she was watching the spirit world news. They were showing the battles in the dark tournaments. Shishi sat on the couch and gave Hikage a pink robe saying " put this on. It should fit you." She put on the huge robe while shivering. She held her knees against her chest and said watching the T.V. " It hurt." Shishi didn't know what she was talking about because it sounded so random. Hikage knew he didn't know what she was talking about cause of his awkward silence and said " When my brother stabbed me it hurt a lot." She let her head fall on her knees with sadness. She didn't cry though. She just felt exhausted. Shishi planted his hand softly on her face and lifted it so she could look at him as he said " It doesn't hurt now does it?" Hikage answered " No." Shishi felt her shivering and then said " You're cold." She then turned trying to hide it. Shishi then dove for her and held her against his chest. He held her back with his left hand and the back of her head with his right hand. Hikage then lifted her head and said " I should be going back to my team." She got up and headed to the door. Before she got too far he tugged on her robe and said " Meet me tomorrow at the entrance of the old arena at four in the morning." She nodded her head yes and gave him the robe back. She then walked out the door.
AT THE POOL
Hikage walked into the room. Kurama ran over to her and held her against his chest and said " Where were you? I was worried." Hikage answered with " A guy was showing me his hotel room." Kurama's face sulked and he said " He didn't touch you weird did he?" Hikage then said " Define weird." He said " Licking, kissing, around those standards." She then said " No, we just talked." She lied, but she didn't think anything was going to happen between them. Kurama sighed in relief and then gave her a warm smile. He then said " We should go back up to the room." She then said without hesitation " That sounds good."
AT THE HOTEL ROOM
Hikage just got done dressing into her P.J's. They were light blue with little moons on it. They were very loose. The elastic in the pants kept the pants up. She went and sat on her bed. She had just washed her hair again. Kurama was in his plad boxers. He offered once again to braid her hair. Everyone else was still down at the pool. While he was braiding her hair she said " I never noticed how soft you use your finders. They feel careful and controlled." Kurama was almost done with the braid and he said " Are they? Well, I'm glad you think that's a good thing." She responded with " Well I'm not saying they're lovable." She said with a smirk. Kurama snuck his hands around her back and to the front. Then he surprisingly tickled her while saying " You don't like soft touches eh." She started laughing and then she started screaming and he stopped.
He held her close to him and Hikage said " I think I like the soft fingers better." Kurama looked into her eyes which turned back to blue earlier and then gave her a peck on the cheek. Hikage could feel his heart beating as she lay against Kurama's bare chest. She could feel him breathing on her. She let him hold her. She felt warm in his arms. He then loosened his arms and put his hands on the sides of her stomach and lifted her so that she faced sideways. She was sitting in-between his legs. He put his left hand on her cheek and his right hand on her back and said " I can't hold my feelings in any longer." He inched closer once again and then he kissed her. He continued kissing her. His fingers slid down her cheek, down her neck and to the button on her night clothes. He craftily unbuttoned the first button and slid his hand into her night clothes. He slid his hand across her bare shoulder and when it got to the end of her shoulder he let the loose collar of her night clothes fall a little bit lower from her shoulder. He then stopped kissing her and laid her down on the bed as he positioned to lay down with her. He touched her cheek with his hand and started kissing her again. Hikage grazed her fingers across Kurama's exposed abs, sliding up along his muscular back. Kurama slid his hands down the sides of her body to where her night shirt ended and hiked it up a little bit as his hands clinged to her back.
Hiei came back because everybody else was unwilling to leave the pool any time soon. He walked down the mini hall and opened the door to his room and saw Kurama on top of Hikage, kissing her.
__________________________________________________________________ Author's Notes: Uhhhh, sorry that went a little fast, but I can't help myself. Please don't think I'm taking advantage of the characters cause I'm not. At least I didn't have them make out on the first day they met. I made that mistake on one of my other fictions.
NEXT DAY
Hikage slept in and everybody was already at the arena. Of course accept Hiei and Kurama. They were in the living room eating breakfast. Hikage slowly opened her eyes as the light came through the window and gleamed on her fiery hair making it blaze with radiance. When her eyes were all the way open she sighed and then slid her legs out of bed. She stood up from the bed and tried to stabilize her body from the little tiredness that was still in her.
She walked to the living room and saw Hiei eating waffles (well he has to eat something) and Kurama eating two sunny side up eggs and toast. Kurama said looking at her with a good morning smile " Good morning sleepy head. Would you like some breakfast?" Hikage blushed and said " I'll just make it myself." Kurama's smile suddenly turned into a frown. Hikage walked to the fridge and opened it. She looked inside and saw the box of eggs. She took it out of the fridge and got a pan on the stove and she got the materials she needed to make a sunny side up egg ( I'm not too good with remembering how to cook certain things so I can't give you details on that)
AFTER SHE'S DONE MAKING ALL OF HER BREAKFAST
She had two sunny side up eggs, three slices of toast cut in perfect halves, and a blotch of hash browns. Kurama then said in surprise to her ability to cook " Where did you learn to cook from?" Hikage poked her food for about a second and said looking down at her food " My mother." Hiei then said with a careless tone of voice "Where is she now?" Hikage then looked away trying to ignore the question. She then said " At home." She lied again. She didn't want anyone to know about her parents death. If they did they would find out who they were. She didn't want anyone to know anything about most everything about her, so she lies. Lies about her whole life so she can remain a secret. Hiei grunted at her answer. Something wasn't right.
Hikage started eating her breakfast. When she was done she got up from the table and went back to the bed room. She looked at the shelf of clothes and picked out a silk shirt that had butterflies on it with a blue background. She also chose some silk black pants that went a little lower than her knees. She walked to the bathroom and locked the door behind her. She then put the clothes on and walked out of the bath room. She took out the braid that Kurama put in. She then put a binder at the shoulder point of her hair. She swirled the rest of her hair with two split lines of hair and then tied a ribbon around her hair in a bow at the bottom of the swirly, leaving some hair dangling at the end ( If you know Yue from CC Sakura then that's what her hair looks like, only a little but shorter and it doesn't dangle around the floor. Even though Yue is the name of her father, Her father looks different from the one in CC Sakura ).
Hikage then walked out of the bed room and Kurama said " You look beautiful. You forgot your shoes though." Hikage then said with a serious face " No, I don't want them today. I'll just fight in my socks." She held her hand up half way and a small light appeared and then it disappeared when a white rose appeared in her hand. She then walked to the door and said " We should be going. I hear today's team is tough."
AT THE ARENA
Hikage was anxious to hear who the next opponent was. She wanted to fight them. The announcer then said " The next fighter is Susuma Taiyo!" Hikage's pupils grew smaller in shock. She thought to herself " What's with this? Practically all the people I knew in my life are in this tournament. One after the other. Could this be a coincidence?" She then started walking toward the ring when she heard Hiei say "That fighter has the same last name as you. Could he be your cousin?" He wanted answers and nothing else. He didn't care if it brought back bad memories. Hikage had no reason to keep this from everyone. She responded without turning " He's my brother." Then walked on the the platform. Hiei was shocked that she had an older brother. Hiei then grunted . Susuma was wearing a white shirt and black pants. There was a black shall over his shirt that stretched all the way down to his ankles (kinda like the one Genkai wore when she was the masked fighter). His hair was dark brown and his eyes were a radiant green.
The announcer then gave them the signal to fight. Susuma then said " You look a little bit taller. Maybe that's because I left you when you were young. I celebrated your birthday while I was gone though. You should be about thirteen shouldn't you? Oh well, I hate to be doing this during our reunion, but I won't kill you. Fight your best even if I am your brother." Hikage then said " I appreciate you coming just because of me. I'll give you a long and unforgettable fight. I hope we can be together more often." She then raised the white rose in the air and said " Sword of The White Rose!" A sword appeared in her hand. Her brother drew his sword and they charged at each other. Their swords connected and they both pushed away making a strong gale. The teams on the side could feel their blows. Kurama thought to himself " Her sword of the white rose is like my rose whip. Only it's white and a sword." He wondered where she got this technique from.
After a couple of blows they charged at each other again. They pushed away. They were thirty feet apart. Hikage was on her guard. She had her sword ready for the next attack. Susuma lowered his sword. Hikage wasn't sure at first what he was doing, but then caught on and lowered her sword as well. It was quite silent. The announcer then said " What is this sudden silence folks? Just a few seconds ago they were clashing like crazy. Now they're standing there silently not doing anything!"
Genkai then said to Yusuke " Most likely means that the next attack will be the last." Yusuke then said " Why the hell doesn't she attack now? He's open and sitting there like an idiot." Genkai answered his question " It's an understanding of the samurai that you indicate your last blow when against an opponent samurai. That is not always the case, but she wanted to show respect for her elder brother." Of course Yusuke thought it was a stupid idea, but who cares, it wasn't his battle.
They charged at each other and when they were close enough to make their last blow they yelled out " Miracle Blade of The White Rose!" A dome of blue spirit energy surrounded them so that the audience could not see. When the dome cleared Susuma's sword was pierced through Hikage. Hikage's sword was under Susuma's arm. Susuma then said with a warm smile " You were a little off." Hikage responded with a weak smile on " I guess I was." Hikage's sword dropped from her hand. She weakly raised her arms. Her hands were beside one another and then said " Sphere of The Black Moon!" She then forced her hands against his chest. It looked like an explosion of black against his chest and then some of the explosion blew past him. His pupils were now small in shock. He loosened his grip on the sword and fell down. Hiei was shocked as to what it was she dosed her brother with. Hikage then pulled the sword out of her stomach as if it were a sword case. Not making the least flinch. Her face looked solid and unafraid. A face that looked like she had seen everything once before. Hiei acted unimpressed with her pulled the sword out of her stomach and grunted.
Kurama had a concerned face on. He wasn't worried about the outcome of the next fight. Has concerned about her condition. He then yelled to Hikage " Hikage, I will be fighting the next opponent." Hikage gave him a ghostly stare while turning around to see him. She then said " I wanna battle this next one. Don't worry about the sword thing." The announcer then said " The next fighter against Ms.Taiyo is Mihara Watase!" The young man walked up to the ring. He was wearing a white shirt under a traditional black shirt that had a stiff, up right collar and buttoned all the way down. He was also wearing very baggy red pants. His hair was black and short. His eyes were a beautiful amber. Hikage wasn't surprised that her ex- boyfriend was there. After seeing her brother and the man who killed her parents. This shouldn't be a surprise. Mihara walked up to her with a smirk and then touched her cheek with his hand and said " You're still as beautiful as I remember. I don't remember why I broke up with you though." Hikage gave him a disgusted face and said " You left me for another girl remember. She was so pretty, so wonderful you said." Mihara then said " Yeah, but you were much better than her." Hikage then yelled in furry " Then why the hell did you brake up with me?!" He responded " She lied to me saying that you were going out with someone else." Hikage then spat back " Right,and I'm suppose to get together with you because you believed her.
Kurama was sure that he was an old boyfriend or something. The way he was looking at her. He could tell that he was more than a flirtatious guy looking to win a girl. He had that look that he wanted her back. Kurama wasn't worried though. Hikage didn't seem to like him that much.
The announcer then said to the two covering the microphone " Uh, guys, could you wrap up the talking and let me start you guys fighting?" They then walked to opposite ends of the ring and the announcer gave the signal to fight.
Yusuke then said to Kurama " What do you think she can do with her bare hands?" Kurama then said " We'll have to watch." Yusuke didn't like the idea of laying back and seeing what she was going to do. He wanted to know now. He was too curious. Hikage charged at Mihara as he stood there. Hikage threw in some punches as Mihara dodged every one. Hikage threw in another punch and Mihara gripped her arm and pulled her closer. He held his other arm behind Hikage's back holding her against his body. His lips were so close to hers that she could feel the consonants rolling off his lips. Mihara then said " I really do want to get back together with you." Mihara felt Hikage's arm weaken and let it go. He put his hand on her chin and his thumb touched her lips. He then said " Don't tell me you don't want me back either." He eyes were dazed and he inched closer.
Kurama was getting jealous and it didn't look like she was going to back off too soon. When Mihara's lips were half an centimeter close to Hikage's, a blue, clearish mist came from Mihara's mouth into Hikage's. Mihara automatically fell as he gasped for air and his pupils were small. Hikage then revealed a disgusted, but non caring face and grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up to her height and said " I remember now, you broke up with me." She then threw him into the air as she got ready to give her last punch. She then said " Fist of The Mortal Flame!" She punched him all the way up in the air with an uppercut. When he came back she swirled around and kicked him hard and yelled with anger " This is for the hell you put me through!" He crashed into the wall that was under the audience and fell. He was twitching and got up while the announcer was counting down. He got back on the platform before the count was finished. Hikage yelled with anger " When will you stop moving?!" Her body was surrounded by red energy.
Yusuke then said " What the hell was that thing she did to the guy before? She sucked something out of his mouth." Genkai then said " It's her way of taking his spirit energy." Yusuke then thought to himself how gross the mist stuff looked coming out of the guys mouth.
Kurama then said " Interesting, her power is growing faster at the rate of her fighting today. Her spirit energy is monumental. I wonder where it came from." Hiei wasn't listening to Kurama. He didn't care about Hikage anymore. Whenever he tried to get an answer she spat back a lie or something near that. She wasn't of any of his concern. Not that she was in the beginning, but he was trying to be cautious.
Hikage's hair looked like a wildly spread fire. It gave her an ominous look. When she had built up the energy for her one and final attack. " Phoenix of The White Fire!" A white fire appeared from her hand and then the fire charged at Mihara as a Phoenix Bird. It slammed him against the same wall that he had gotten kicked against. The audience in the first four rows had to run for their lives so that they wouldn't fall or get killed. When the smoke cleared from the attack Mihara wasn't turned to dust, but he was fainted. The announcer then said " That was a truly inspired attack Ms.Taiyo. I thought he was going to turn to nothing for sure. Could you explain to us, the attack?" Hikage grunted with an irritated face and said " All you need to know is that he's not dead, but he lost." She then walked away from the announcer and to the edge. She jumped off the edge to her team. After she jumped off she wobbled a little and then it got to be a concern. She was loosing some of her vision as if everything was going out of focus and she felt this heat coming into her body telling her to shut down. She started falling and then started putting her hands on the side of the platform. She was trying to stabilize herself. Then the heat started going away and she could see her vision coming back.
She then stood up and turned around seeing Kurama running to her with a concerned face on. When Kurama got there he said " What was all that about? Are you sick?" Hikage then said " I'm fine. It was probably just the energy that I lost draining out of me. I think I should go out and train some. It'll make me feel better. Actually, the hotel has a pool. I'll just swim."
AT THE HOTEL
Hikage looked at the shelf of clothes hoping there was a swimming suit. Yep, it was a two piece. The top half split where her bust (bust is another word for breasts. Sorry, just really shy) was. That part was red and the inch thick line under the top part was white. It was made of elastic and surrounded by white fabric. There was black sheet of fabric that covers the belly. The bottom part had the same elastic strip to hold the bottom on. The rest of the bottom was colored black and looked like short shorts. She went to the bathroom and put on her swimming suit. She walked out of the bathroom and then out of the bed room with a towel that was red and had Hello Kitty on it.
When she got to the living room everybody was standing by the door ready to go to the pool. She was surprised. She then said to them in assumption " I guess we're all going to the pool." Botan opened the door and they all walked out.
While they were walking to the pool Kurama walked faster so that he could catch up with Hikage. She was wrapped in a towel, so Kurama couldn't see her swimming suit. Before he was able to reach her, he saw the place in her back where the stab from today went through. Even when the towel covered it. He then walked next to Hikage and turned to her while walking and said " Are you sure that the stab is fine?" Hikage then answered with a blank expression " I'm not bleeding, so don't worry about it." She then walked ahead. Hikage was right. She wasn't bleeding. The cut should be gushing with blood, but it wasn't. There were no splotches on her towel. Did she have a secret? Meanwhile he could hear Hiei calling Kuwabara an idiot for bumping into him while trying to flirt with Yukina. Botan was talking to Kayko.
Kurama was wearing purple swimming shorts. Hiei was wearing black swimming shorts with two white lines going down the side (like the gothic dresser he is). Botan was wearing a one piece with Hello Kitty on it ( Not big on hello kitty, but I think it's a cute little character) and a pink background. Kayko was wearing a two piece. It covered all of her bust. It had Hawaiian flowers on it. The flowers were different shades of pink. The background was red. The bottom was like any other two piece bottom. Same design. Yusuke was wearing dark green swimming shorts that said "F U". Genkai was wearing shorts and a short sleeve T-shirt. They were both pink. Kuwabara was wearing blue swimming shorts. Yukina was wearing a blue one piece.
AT THE POOL
Everybody else jumped into the monumental pool while Hiei and Kurama sat on beach chairs set up around the pool. There was a huge fountain at the end of the pool. The fountain was in the shape of a huge griffin. Under it was a platform that the water fell on and then fell off into the pool. On the platform Hikage sat, holding her legs against her chest while the water fell on her. She looked down at the water falling off the platform. She felt tired and nonfunctional. She then traced her fingers up and down the cut. It didn't hurt the least bit, but it bothered her. She sighed and then closed her eyes.
The platform directly connected to the edge of the pool. Botan was about to walk past her, but then realized that she hadn't been in the pool since they got to the pool. She then yelled to Hikage and said " Hey, Ms.Taiyo, you should get in the pool and have some fun. Everybody'll think you're a stick in the mud if you don't." There was no response. Not even a grunt. She then walked onto the platform and shook her about two times saying " Ms.Taiyo, are you all right?" When she didn't respond she shook her harder and harder yelling " Ms.Taiyo, wake up would you. This isn't funny!" Hikage finally, but slowly opened her eyes. She then said " What's up?" Botan said with an angry face " What's up?! You scared me half to death. I thought you were dead!" Hikage responded with a sleepy voice " Must have fallen asleep." Botan then said still angry " Must have! Just don't do that to me again!" Hikage made a grunt sounding like a yes. Botan then left her alone. When Hikage looked to her left she saw Kurama nearly out of his seat getting ready to get up and find out if something was wrong, but he saw her moving and active. He then relaxed back in his chair when he saw nothing wrong. He wasn't going to believe her when she said she was ok after her brother stabbed her.
Hikage then got up and walked off the platform to the edge of the hot tub. She dunked her body into the hot tub. She didn't want to scare Botan again so she barely kept her eyes open, but she had the ability to keep herself awake. She stared down at the water. Her eyes turned red, but nothing else happened. The hot tub was by the entrance so it wasn't hard for other demons to spot her. They all giggled or blushed as they walked past her. They were all too shy to go up and flirt with her. They admired her beauty from beach chairs and tables with umbrella's.
Shishi Wakamaru's team walked into the room and they weren't paying any attention to Hikage accept for Shishi. The beauty of Hikage stopped Shishi in his tracks. He then said to his team " You can all go into the pool. I'll be in the hot tub." They nodded their heads and dove into the pool. Shishi walked toward the hot tub and walked down the steps into the hot tub and walked in front of her asking " May I join you?" Hikage focused her gaze to Shishi and said with a tired face " Sure, I don't care." Shishi sat right next to Hikage and said " So, where do you come from?" He said as he stretched his arm over her and resting it on the edge of the hot tub behind her shoulders. She responded with a tired face " I came from the human world and am one hundred percent human." She then took her left hand and used it to lift his right arm back by him. Then the smile on his face turned into a frown. He then put his smile back on and said " I've been watching your fights." Hikage then said with her continuous tired face " Really? I didn't think I was worth watching." He then held her chin up and over to him since she had been looking down the whole time and said " Don't say that, your beauty is too monumental to miss. I saw the battle when you got stabbed. Could I see it." She then said standing up in front of him with her waist below the water " It's not too bad. It doesn't hurt or anything." He held the sides of her back and traced his left thumb up and down the slice. He said " It looked pretty painful when it plunged into you." Hikage responded with a tired voice " Yeah, a little bit." Shishi then said " May I have the honors of wrapping it with cloth?" She then said "I don't care." He then lifted her hair out of the water and her undid the the long ribbon in her hair. He dropped her hair back into the water and saw a a drop of blood roll down her back. He touched his hands gently to the sides of her back and licked the drop of blood up her back all the way back up to the cut. He then said with a lustful voice "Your blood doesn't taste one hundred percent human, but it does taste like liquified candy." She was too tired to react to what he said. He wrapped the cloth around her stomach. When he was done he asked her " You wanna see my hotel room?" Hikage wasn't to sure what she was saying, but she thought it wouldn't hurt and said " Sure." Shishi took her hand in his hand and kissed it.
He then held her hand and he walked out of the hot tub with her. Before they left the room Hikage showed some concern and said " Shouldn't I tell my team that I'm going to see your hotel room?" Shishi then said with a quick flash of the eye " No, you'll be fine."
AT SHISHI'S HOTEL ROOM
Shishi then said " You can go watch T.V. on the couch while I get us some robes so that we feel more comfortable." Hikage sat on the couch and turned on the T.V. she was watching the spirit world news. They were showing the battles in the dark tournaments. Shishi sat on the couch and gave Hikage a pink robe saying " put this on. It should fit you." She put on the huge robe while shivering. She held her knees against her chest and said watching the T.V. " It hurt." Shishi didn't know what she was talking about because it sounded so random. Hikage knew he didn't know what she was talking about cause of his awkward silence and said " When my brother stabbed me it hurt a lot." She let her head fall on her knees with sadness. She didn't cry though. She just felt exhausted. Shishi planted his hand softly on her face and lifted it so she could look at him as he said " It doesn't hurt now does it?" Hikage answered " No." Shishi felt her shivering and then said " You're cold." She then turned trying to hide it. Shishi then dove for her and held her against his chest. He held her back with his left hand and the back of her head with his right hand. Hikage then lifted her head and said " I should be going back to my team." She got up and headed to the door. Before she got too far he tugged on her robe and said " Meet me tomorrow at the entrance of the old arena at four in the morning." She nodded her head yes and gave him the robe back. She then walked out the door.
AT THE POOL
Hikage walked into the room. Kurama ran over to her and held her against his chest and said " Where were you? I was worried." Hikage answered with " A guy was showing me his hotel room." Kurama's face sulked and he said " He didn't touch you weird did he?" Hikage then said " Define weird." He said " Licking, kissing, around those standards." She then said " No, we just talked." She lied, but she didn't think anything was going to happen between them. Kurama sighed in relief and then gave her a warm smile. He then said " We should go back up to the room." She then said without hesitation " That sounds good."
AT THE HOTEL ROOM
Hikage just got done dressing into her P.J's. They were light blue with little moons on it. They were very loose. The elastic in the pants kept the pants up. She went and sat on her bed. She had just washed her hair again. Kurama was in his plad boxers. He offered once again to braid her hair. Everyone else was still down at the pool. While he was braiding her hair she said " I never noticed how soft you use your finders. They feel careful and controlled." Kurama was almost done with the braid and he said " Are they? Well, I'm glad you think that's a good thing." She responded with " Well I'm not saying they're lovable." She said with a smirk. Kurama snuck his hands around her back and to the front. Then he surprisingly tickled her while saying " You don't like soft touches eh." She started laughing and then she started screaming and he stopped.
He held her close to him and Hikage said " I think I like the soft fingers better." Kurama looked into her eyes which turned back to blue earlier and then gave her a peck on the cheek. Hikage could feel his heart beating as she lay against Kurama's bare chest. She could feel him breathing on her. She let him hold her. She felt warm in his arms. He then loosened his arms and put his hands on the sides of her stomach and lifted her so that she faced sideways. She was sitting in-between his legs. He put his left hand on her cheek and his right hand on her back and said " I can't hold my feelings in any longer." He inched closer once again and then he kissed her. He continued kissing her. His fingers slid down her cheek, down her neck and to the button on her night clothes. He craftily unbuttoned the first button and slid his hand into her night clothes. He slid his hand across her bare shoulder and when it got to the end of her shoulder he let the loose collar of her night clothes fall a little bit lower from her shoulder. He then stopped kissing her and laid her down on the bed as he positioned to lay down with her. He touched her cheek with his hand and started kissing her again. Hikage grazed her fingers across Kurama's exposed abs, sliding up along his muscular back. Kurama slid his hands down the sides of her body to where her night shirt ended and hiked it up a little bit as his hands clinged to her back.
Hiei came back because everybody else was unwilling to leave the pool any time soon. He walked down the mini hall and opened the door to his room and saw Kurama on top of Hikage, kissing her.
