Chapter 4 The Training

She found herself in a clearing near Tokyo were she use to live. She sits quietly in meditation. The reflection of a sword in the bushes. It strikes, but doesn't harm her. She has formed a shield of energy around her.
She picks up her katana from beside her. She slashes at her opponent. She charges at them. Then she stops. Her opponent has weakened but is not slain. "You're a very good fighter, Ichi," says her opponent. "You really think so, Hiei?" she says to him.
"Yeah, I do," he says with a sweet smile and a little bit of a blush. "Your training is over for to day." "Why? Can't we keep practicing?" "NO!!!" he says vulgarly. She looked at the ground sadly and sparked a tear that fell from her face and stained the ground. "Ichi, I...I...I'm sorry..." He reached his hand out for her, but was shocked by electric water. He clinches in pain.
"Why did you put your shield up?" "Because... I love you, and ...I don't want to hurt you," she said in a quivering voice. He was stunned by her answer. "Ichi I know you would never hurt me on purpose," he smiled sweetly, he cried three tears, and turned a deeper red. She looked at his face then to his eyes for answers.
She found them but not with out a price. She let out a few more tears then let her shield down. Hiei falls to his knees. He clinches in pain. "Hiei!" Ichi shouts. She catches him before he hits the ground. "HIEI!!!" she screams in sorrow. She lays him out straight and focuses her energy. She heals him. Then she blacks out.
A few hours later she stirs. "Where am I!?!" she said in a faint voice. "Shh... Ichi don't speak you need your rest," said the voice that she has come to know as Hiei's. "Hi sweetie... how are you feeling?" he said almost forgetting what had happened earlier. "I can't talk remember," she with a smile on her face.
He leaned over and kissed her. "I love you, you crazy loon," he said with a smile. "Come with me and grab a bathing suit!" he says to her "take my hand." She grabbed her suit and took his hand. They sink through the floor. They were in the living world. "Hiei, where are we going?" she asked. "You will see!" They soon got to the place were Hiei wished to be. "Where are we?" "A place you will love!" She looked up to her noise she heard. It was a water fall surrounded by a crystal clear pool.
"Hiei it's beautiful," she said and frenched him. She jumped in and swam like a fish. She twirled and jumped. She felt so free and happy there. "Hiei jump in its feels great!" "Hold on," he said as he kicks a rock in the water as if testing it for something. He pulled off his shirt and jumped in. He swam after her.
She is faster in water then on land. She swims away from him as if playing tag and he's it. She stopped and turned around to see how far behind he was. Her lips met his. They kissed and rose to the surface. They broke it. The energy is back. They looked to the side. The whole gang was standing there starring including Keiko and Yukina.
"Hiei," Yuske said after a second of starring, "we have to go!" "Ok," he said with the most regretting voice and eyes. "Ichi... I have to go" "ok..." along silents came over them. Hiei jumped out of the water. "I'll catch you later," he said trying to hold in the regret and despair. "Sure..." another awkward silents fell over the group.
