Well I noticed you have three attacks, I only have two, why?" I asked. "I have to have one for my swor- wait a minuet you have attacks?" He asked. "You bet, but don't tell Yusuke or Kurama because I want to show them by fighting whatever they throw at me," I replied. "Oh I see, you want to trick them," He said as he smiled mischievously. "Yeah, basically I want to turn there own trick against them," I answered, "I was going to do that to you too but I guess it's better if you know." Suddenly my head started pounding again and I held my head. "What's wrong?" He asked nervously. "It's …..My…head…again," I stuttered, I was suppressing my screams as best I could. Hiei grabbed my hands with one hand and lifted my face up to his with the other, and I immediately stopped. I was still whining trying to suppress the pain as well. "Think about those you love, think about Rikku, or Yusuke." He said to me. My head stopped pounding, the pain was still there though. "Is it gone?" He asked. "Yes but the pain is still there," I answered. "The pain will go away after about five minuets," Hiei said letting go. "Thanks," I said. "Seems I save you more than you save yourself," He replied laughing. "Yeah I guess so, but my strength is horrible along with my weak attacks....so there is really nothing I can do," I answered. "Do you want me to help you to perfect them?" He asked. "That would be great," I replied. So we both got down from the windowsill and went out the door. "Are we going to the woods again?" I asked him as we walked down the hall. "What do you mean, again?" Hiei asked. "Nevermind. Then where are we going?" I asked him again. "A place where I used to practice all my attacks when I was little," Hiei stated. We walked the rest of the way in silence, until we come to this cave. "This is it," Hiei said. "It's just a cave we passed plenty of them, what makes this one different?" I wondered. " This cave is full of diamonds, the hardest substance in the galaxy, so if your attack is not strong enough it bounces all over the place and you have to dodge it. " If your attack is strong enough it will break the diamond," Hiei explained. "Right, I think I got it," I answered confused. "Want me to demonstrate?" he asked as we walked inside the cave. "Definitely," I replied. "Ok," He said walking over to one bright blue diamond, "first I will do my weaker attack so watch out. Fist of the Mortal Flame." A bright blue attack flew towards the blue diamond, but immediately bounced back at him which he dodged at the last moment and it came flying towards me. I ducked and it flew out of the cave. "Are you alright?" He asked me. "You practically killed me," I said my heart was beating really fast. "It wouldn't have killed you that was my weaker attack, now I'm going to use the same attack but with much more power, beware if this one bounces it could kill you. Fist of the Mortal Flame," He shouted. This time I felt enormous power and it broke the diamond. "Wow" I said. "Now you try," Hiei replied. On my first try it didn't break, nor my second, or third, after a couple of hours I had only broken one and that was because I was frustrated at it. When we got back to the building we were both covered in cuts and bruises. We walked up all the stairs chatting as we went. "That wasn't that bad was it?" He asked me. "No not really at least I broke a diamond once," I replied. "That was impressive, I didn't even expect you to break one," Hiei said. Then we where finally at our room. He opened it and we found Yusuke and Kurama sitting in the living room talking. "Where have you two been?" asked Yusuke. "She wanted to see my attacks so I couldn't just blast a hole in the wall," Hiei said smirking at me. He went over and sat beside Kurama and I sat besides Yusuke. "The rest of the girls are waiting for you in the bedroom," Yusuke said. "Oh, okay," I replied. I walked over and knocked on the door. "Who is it?" a voice asked. "Kiri," I replied. I heard a lot of whispers and the door opened slowly. When no one was in the doorway I walked in as calm as ever, closing the door behind me. I couldn't see anything so I tried to make my way around. Then a light turned on behind me and there sat Rikku, Kayko, Botan, Yuknia, and Shizuru. I smiled at them because I knew what they where going to do, ask me questions because they probley knew about me going out with Hiei. "Let me guess, questioning is in session." I said. "It's not funny it's serious. You where gone for four hours," Botan replied. "Fine ask me anything you want," I answered walking over to them. "What did you do?" asked Botan. "If you're looking for something mushy go watch your soaps, but if you really must know he help me get control of my attacks, in a little cave in the woods," I said. "Oh so you're playing hard to get are you?" Botan said. "Hard to get? What are you talking about we were just practicing that's it, really," I replied, "If I was playing hard to get I would but I'm not. I admitted to him I liked him and if I was playing hard to get I wouldn't have told him. Plus I told him all about me, all that I remember anyway and I wouldn't have gone with him if I was." "She's got a point," Rikku objected. "Did you kiss him?" Yukina asked. "No," I said firmly. "First you're going off the subject, now you're lying that's really not like you," Botan said. "I'm not lying! You weren't there were you?" I asked. "No but," Botan started. "Exactly then you can't prove it," I replied. "Did you flirt with him?" Rikku asked. "No," I replied with a worried tone. "She did! She did!" Botan yelled, she clapped her hands together, laughing. "I did not!" I said, blushing. "Then why are your cheeks all red?" Botan asked. "Okay fine, I admit it, but he was flirting with me back," I said. "He was?!!" Botan asked, "Oh my, this is more serious than I thought," Kayko said. "You can go now but send Hiei in," Botan said. "Good luck you're going to need it!" I said as I turned around and walked out of the room. When I closed the door Hiei, Kuwabara, Yusuke, and Kurama were all talking. "What was that all about?" Hiei asked me as soon as they noticed me. "They wanted to question me. They saw me go out with you so they wanted to know what happened. I told them to shut up and leave me alone. They didn't listen so they want you in there," I said. "Yeah right if they think I'm going to go in there, their sadly mistaken," Hiei replied. "I don't blame you, I'll go tell them. So I walked over to the door opened it and said what Hiei told me. When I returned Yukina had come out to ask Hiei nicely. "Please Hiei, it's only a couple of questions," Yukina pleaded. "Fine," Hiei said. The girls knew that Hiei wasn't going to refuse his sister so he followed Yukina back into the room. I whispered good luck to Hiei and sat down next to Yusuke. "What kind of questions did they ask you?" Kuwabara asked. "Stupid mushy ones, I told Botan if she wanted mushy to go watch her soaps," I said. "That's funny because that's exactly what Yusuke said to Botan when Kayko and him where alone. She was spying on them and when they were done talking she pretended to be a stray cat and appear somewhere else," Kurama replied. "Hey who told you?" Yusuke asked. "Botan," Kuwabara said. "What she told all of you?" Yusuke exclaimed. "Yep," Kurama replied. Suddenly Hiei walked out of the room looking quite embarrassed. "Hiei we're not done," Botan said. "I am," Hiei said coming back and sitting back where he was, across from me. Then Botan came out of the room looking furious. "Yusuke come in here," Botan commanded. Yusuke was afraid she'd whack him with her oar if he didn't, so he shrugged and followed her back in the room. I went and listened on the door. "What are you doing?" Kurama asked. "Eavesdropping," I replied. "Yusuke do you think your sister would like a type like Kurama?" Botan asked. "I don't know," Yusuke replied firmly. "Hiei?" asked Botan. "I don't know," Yusuke replied. "Would you trust her with the boys she dates?" Botan asked. "Yeah… sure why not," Yusuke said. "Do you know she likes Hiei?" Rikku blabbed. "Rikku!" Botan said. "Sorry it slipped," Rikku replied. "She what?" Yusuke asked surprised. So all the girls told him the answers to all the questions they had asked me. I walked back over and sat on the windowsill looking upward. "What did you hear?" Kurama asked. "Botan told Yuske all the answers to all the stupid questions she asked me," I said looking at Hiei who looked really embarrassed. Then a satisfied looking Botan and the rest of the girls came out with Yusuke who looked like he was about to burst out in laughter. It was our last relaxed night here and it was spent teasing me. "Would you people just shut up already? You've spent almost half the night teasing me," I said. The next morning I got up at 5:00 and was about to head towards the new stadium when someone stopped me.
