Love Doesn't Come Until Midnight
That afternoon, Yusuke and Terri walked home together. They were actually quiet. Terri smiled no matter how much Yusuke hates it.
"Why is she always smiling?" Yusuke thought to himself.
Terri started to skip ahead and stopped at the corner of the cross-walk. She turned around and smiled at Yusuke. Yusuke growled, quietly. Suddenly, a puppy ran by Terri.
"Oh! A puppy! It's so cute!" Terri said, excited, staring at the puppy.
The puppy ran quickly across the road and Terri ran after it. Yusuke gasped. Terri was now in the middle of the road, where cars are speeding back and forth. The puppy quickly got on to the side walk and Terri was on the last two roads. Three cars sped down near Terri.
"TERRI! WATCH OUT!" Yusuke yelled.
"Huh?" Terri said, turning to Yusuke and turned her head to the right and saw three speeding cars.
"WHAT IS THAT GIRL DOING?! GET OFF THE ROAD, LITTLE GIRL!" a man yelled inside one of the cars, didn't even bother to stomp on the breaks.
Terri's eyes narrowed and she was surrounded by red and black flames. The three cars were covered in reddish-black smokes. All three of them were floating on air, five feet from the ground. Terri parked them onto a sidewalk, topping the cars on one another. The flames disappeared, as the Yusuke ran to Terri.
"Terri! Are you al-alright?" Yusuke asked, panting.
Terri smiled, "Yes, I am, Yusuke. Thank you for asking."
"What just happened? Terri, who are you?" Yusuke asked, worried.
Terri sighed and looked down.
"You have the spirit powers, don't you, Terri?" Yusuke asked, "Do you know about Koenma? You know about Team Urameshi?"
"I-I. . ." Terri said, sighed, "Yes, I know Koenma and yes, I know . . . your team."
Yusuke's eyes were a bit widening.
That night, Yusuke, Kuzuma and Keiko were over at Terri's home. Keiko took a sip of Terri homemade tea.
"Yum, your tea is awfully good," Keiko said, smiling and taking another sip.
Terri giggled and replied, "Thank you very much, ma'am."
"Okay, moving on. Where did you came from and why are you here?" Kuzuma asked.
"I came from the Spirit World," Terri replied, honestly, "Koenma sent me here just to meet you guys. He's putting me in your team in the next coming tournament, if that's okay with you all."
"It depends, how'd you met Koenma?" Yusuke asked, sighing.
"Well, Koenma said he was searching for a strong, female fighter. He sent me down to the Spirit World and explained everything to me," Terri said, looking at Yusuke, Keiko and Kuzuma.
"What? Why?" Yusuke asked, surprised.
"Well, he said, he needs a strong, female fighter to put on your team. Team Urameshi. The up coming tournament contains 5 fighters," Terri explaining.
Keiko took another sip. "But we have 5 fighters already," Keiko said, softly.
"What? There's Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabura," Terri said, "What do you mean five fighters? There's only four." "Genkai. Don't forget her," Kuzuma asked, trying to understand. "Koenma said she can't be able to fight. It's been 4 years since the Dark Tournament. Yes, she does have spirit energy left and no, she can't fight. She had grown weak and old over the years," Terri explained, exactly Koenma had told her.
"Hmm. . . It will be an honor for have you on the team . . . Terri," Yusuke said, winking.
Terri's frown grew to a smile. She jumps up and down, screaming. She ran to Keiko and gave her a hug. Same thing to Kuzuma and Yusuke.
That night, Yusuke invited the gang [Keiko, Botan, Kuzuma, Kurama, Hiei, and Terri] over at his house for dinner. His mother was out, partying with her "girlfriends."
Terri stood at the living room entrance and stared at all the beer cans and trash. She sighed and looked over her shoulder to glance at the others. Kurama walked towards Terri.
"Have we met before?" Kurama asked, smiling.
"Hmm . . . Did we?" Terri said, thinking hard, "I guess not. Hi, I'm Terri. Nice to meet you," holding out a hand.
Kurama shook her hand and replied, "I'm Kurama. It's a pleasure to meet you, Terri."
"Oh, you're Kurama, the um . . . foxy thief," Terri said, smiling. Kurama laughed.
Suddenly, Botan popped out behind Terri and patted Terri on the shoulders, "Nice to have you on the team, Terri!" Botan laughed and her face turned cat-face.
Kurama and Terri let go of the hand shake and Terri giggled. She looked over her shoulders and saw Hiei, who was standing at the window ceil. She sighed and turned to the others, smiling.
During dinner, everyone get to know Terri and Terri gets to know them, except Hiei. Terri had a great welcome dinner. After dinner, everyone helped out with the dishes and cleaning the table. Except Terri and Hiei. Hiei left the dinning room and walked to the park. Terri followed, quietly. When, Hiei reached the parks' bench, he sat down and stared up at the stars. Terri hid behind a tree.
"She's following me, but . . . why?" Hiei thought.
Terri took a step out of the tree's shadow and sat next to Hiei. She smiled.
"What do you want?" Hiei asked, emotionless.
"I never get to talk to you tonight. So, I guess this is my chance to. What's your name?" Terri explained, staring at Hiei.
"Hiei," Hiei replied. Terri kept staring. She sighed.
"Terri's the name. Hmm . . . You're pretty cute, did you know that?" Terri asked, looking right up at the stars.
Hiei didn't say anything, but a bit of blush came up on his face. A biker passed by as Terri giggled.
"It's not embarrassing to say to a boy that he's cute. It isn't that hard," Terri said, smiling happily, "Even though, we're in the same team, I guess, you have to get over it."
It was exactly, 11:30pm, and Terri and Hiei continued to talk about teams that are going to be at the tournament and how Hiei's going to beat them all. Terri laughed when Hiei said he's going to knock them all dead with his Dragon of the Darkness Flames.
"Some strong opponents that you will face will soon find out how to beat your special attack," Terri explained, looking straight at the ground.
Hiei stared at Terri and continued to stare. Terri swooped her hair behind her ear.
Terri realized Hiei was staring at her. "What? Is there something on my face, Hiei?" Terri asked, feeling her face.
Hiei shooked his head and replied, "No. There's nothing."
Midnight stroked and cold wind started to flow by. Terri gave out a big shiver. Hiei took off his cloak and wrapped around Terri. He didn't say anything.
"Oh, thank you, Hiei," Terri said, smiling, "It's very nice of you."
Hiei sighed and didn't even say a word. His cheeks started to get red and Terri's as well.
"C'mon, let's go home," Hiei said, standing up.
Terri looked up and nodded. They started heading home.
When they got to Terri's new house front yard. Terri returned Hiei's cloak and thanked him once again. Terri started to her front door, but she ran back to Hiei and kissed him on the cheek and ran inside her house. Hiei's eyes widen and he gave a slight smile.
That afternoon, Yusuke and Terri walked home together. They were actually quiet. Terri smiled no matter how much Yusuke hates it.
