A/N: Hey guys! It's so good to be back! Sorry it took me so long to finally update, but I was wicked busy and then grounded from for a while. But I'm back! Thank you to all my wonderful reviewers, I own only my characters and the story, and let's go!! (I don't have a lot of time.) And just for anyone who is confused, or didn't catch it in the last chapter, Hiei did not confess to Sakari that he likes her. He was just confessing to himself. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew.

Chapter 5: Hiei Laughs

Sakari's POV

A few weeks later

"Get up, today we start training again." Hiei said as he walked into my room. "No, I don't feel good Hiei." I said, rolling over. "Don't feel good? Your wounds have had two weeks to heal!" He replied. I had been expecting this. Hiei had been back to his old self since we returned to Genkai's. But still, I wanted to smack him. I didn't want to tell him why I wasn't feeling good, and I had been hoping he would leave me alone.

"It's not my wounds…" I started; I was not going to tell him why I wouldn't train. No way, not even if it meant lying through my teeth. Even though he might read my mind and find out anyway. "Oh, I see. You got lazy during your vacation." He said. "No, I didn't." I said. "Then what's wrong?" He asked. I was surprised he hadn't read my mind yet. The idiot didn't sound the least bit concerned either. Maybe he had… "My stomach hurts." I said truthfully, even if it wasn't the full truth. "You should learn to tolerate such minor pain." He replied. 'One of these days…' I let my thought trail off.

"Hiei, I'm sick, leave me the heck alone!" I yelled at him. "You're not acting sick. You are going to train today whether you like it or not, so get up." He said icily. He definitely had his barrier back. "No." I said simply. "Get up before I dump you out of bed." He countered. "You wouldn't." I rolled back over and glared at him. He smirked. Apparently he would, because the next thing I knew I was on my butt on the bedroom carpet. "Hey! You jerk! What if I had been naked?!" I yelled at him. I was really ticked now. "Your own fault. Now get dressed." "No. I am having stomach cramps, and I feel nauseous, I am going back to bed." I yelled. "You shouldn't let some minor pain…" But I cut him off, and in my rage yelled the last thing I wanted to. "Well you wouldn't want to train either if you had a period!" Sometimes I hate being a girl. I quickly covered my mouth in horror. I could tell I was really blushing.

Hiei's eyes bugged out of his head. "W-what?" He asked, a smile breaking through his barrier. "You heard me." I pouted. "And I don't find anything funny in this situation." I was still sitting where he had dumped me out of bed. I folded my arms across my chest. Hiei started to chuckle. "Don't you dare." I narrowed my eyes at him, and he started to laugh.

Can you believe it? For a moment, his barrier melted, Hiei actually laughed. I couldn't believe he was laughing. 1. I did not find anything funny in this situation (as I already pointed out), and 2. This is Hiei we're talking about.

"Well, I'm going to train Sakari, you can sleep. See ya later." I couldn't believe my ears. Hiei actually sounded like a normal person for once. Plus when he got back he told me I had the whole week off. But then he was back to being Hiei with a barrier. Which didn't really bug me, or surprise me either.

A/N: Yeah, sorry it's short. But Keyboarding has paid off and it didn't take me as long as usual to type this. Maybe I'll get another chapter up, that one might be short too, but better short than none at all right? Actually, the next two are both short; maybe I'll get them both up. So, I have to go now. Please review. I have to say though; this is my least favorite chapters.
