~*~*~*~Training Day~*~*~*~ Neko woke up to having ice water being poured on her. "Get up, time to train." Neko glared him down. "Fine. Get out of my room so I can change." Hiei laughed at Neko. She growled at him. She looked through her drawer and threw on a black tank top with a pink puppy on it, and some dark blue shorts. She ran out of her room and ate breakfast. When breakfast was done, Genkai made her run 30 miles with a tree on her back. Then she made Neko do 3,800 push-ups without the tree, but with a boulder and Hiei on her back. When Hiei and the boulder were removed, Neko rolled on her back. "Thank Kami." She closed her head. "Don't go to sleep yet!" Genkai said. Neko groaned. Hiei pulled her up. "You haven't even started training with me yet."

Neko moaned and complained. "I'm tired, do I have to?"

"If you don't, how are you going to defend yourself?"

"I'll figure something out, just don't make me."

"MOVE IT!"

Neko growled one more time. Hiei handed her a sword. "Try to get in your fighting stance." Neko tried, and tried, and tried, and failed, and failed, and failed. Hiei rolled his eyes and got behind her to help her position. Neko blushed a thousand shades of red. He took his time removing his arms from her. Eventually, she got it. "Now then, counter." Neko raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" Hiei was now behind her. She blocked him just narrowly. "No baka!" she yelled. Hiei just smirked. "I told you to counter, didn't I?" Neko scowled. Hiei laughed at her. Neko grew furious. "Shut up!" Hiei got in his stance. "Again."

This whole attack-counter thing went on for hours. Hiei hardly broke a sweat, as where when they were done, Neko was laying in the grass. Hiei decided to lie down next to her. "So, tomorrow will you be ready to train with spirit energy?" Neko gave a slight nod. "Why not? I've been trying to keep myself from being sliced in half, half the day. Spirit energy shouldn't be too hard." Hiei kind of chuckled at her. Neko glared at him. "You suck so much! I should hate you." Hiei looked at her and smirked. "The question is, do you?" Neko's eye twitched, then she growled at him. "Shut up, Jaganshi!" ~*~*~*~*~*~ Neko limped her way to the temple. She opened the door to see everyone eating dinner. "I'm not hungry. I'm going to bed." She staggered her way to her room, and then fell in front of her door. Hiei helped her up and dragged her to her bed. "Thanks." She said. Hiei pulled the covers over Neko. "No problem." He looked at the message on the door. He got some aluminum foil and some tape to cover it up. "You and I can clean that up later." Neko smiled and nodded. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Hiei went into his room after dinner was over. He looked at the ceiling. Neko's image appeared in his mind. "Why won't her image leave me alone?" He turned over. "She's a baka ningen, I shouldn't be thinking about her. But still."
