"So what now?"

"We were supposed to just watch her. Koenma's ganna love that we brought in an angel."

"Spirit world detectives have been watching Lexis for years to see if she has powers. They must have had something planned if her powers emerged." Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara were sitting in Yusuke's house. Hiei had gone to talk to Koenma.

"One question," Kuwabara said. "How are we supposed to get her to spirit world if she doesn't even remember that she is an angel?"

"Good question." Kurama said.

"Another question," Yusuke said. "What if she gets pissed and snaps?"

"What happens if she goes on a killing spree?" Kuwabara asked with growing panic.

"All good questions." Koenma said walking into the room with Hiei. "That is why we have to lock her up."

"What!" All three boys said at the same time.

"She's a danger to herself and others." Koenma said plainly. "We have to think about the majority, not the individual."

"Koenma, you can't be serious." Kurama said.

"Dead serious I'm afraid."

"How exactly do you expect to hold her?" Hiei asked. "I mean if she's as powerful as you all think how are you going to capture and hold her without losing lives?"

"Another good question that I'm afraid I don't have an answer to." Koenma said sitting down heavily.

"So who's going to tell her?" Botan said. She had been in the doorway to make sure so one listened in on the conversation.

"I've got a suggestion." Hiei said.

"Let's hear it." Kuwabara said.

"We don't tell her she's an angel or that she killed her parents. We keep her under close surveillance. Not one second to herself. Or there's option two. We teach her how to control her powers and let her have her freedom."

"Are you crazy?" Kuwabara said incredulously. "She could kill us all."

"I've seen her powers and there's no way in this world or spirit world that could hold her. Your people, Koenma, have completely underestimated her powers. They expected great power but I assure you that they are not ready to deal with her."

"Okay, Hiei. You may train her."

"WHAT!"

"Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Botan will take up surveillance. Good luck." Koenma got up and left.

"Well that went well." Kurama said. "You do realize that you just saved hundreds of lives and our friend, right?"

"Hn." Hiei said and walked out of the house and went to see Lexis.

(So mom and dad are dead.) She wasn't sad. She wasn't happy. More like relieved. She felt as if she should feel bad but she didn't. (No more sake. No more beatings. No more mom. And more importantly, no more dad. So I'm free? No more pain? No more fear. Nothing bad will happen to me anymore, but at what price?) Hiei had spoken to Lexis about her parents. He hadn't gone into detail about how it happened or who did it, of course, but he felt that she had a right to know. She didn't seem too crushed though. "So to celebrate your new found freedom I'm taking you out."

"Where?"

"Just be ready to get wet."

"Watch your head." Hiei was pulling her through a dark cave. "There is a line of smooth stones, but they're wet so be careful not to slip."

"Why can't we just swim through the water?"

"It's very shallow and the water only comes up to your waist."

"So why can't we walk or wade or whatever?"

"There are eels and jellyfish in the water."

"Oh." Hiei helped Lexis across the stones and to the other side, then he lead her deeper into the cave. At one point there was no light at all. (How can he move like this without falling?) Lexis slipped every few seconds on wet rocks. Finally Hiei slowed his pace and Lexis could feel a breeze. "Are we there yet?" she whispered.

"Almost." He pushed a huge stone away from a passage. Lexis gave him a questioning look, "So no one can mess it up. No one knows about this place but me because they think the cave ends at the waterline back where we had to swim under the rock formation. By the way, are you cold?" She was still dripping. She shook her head no and they kept going. Then Hiei turned a corner and they stepped out onto a ledge on the cliff side.

"Wow." Lexis breathed. "It's gorgeous, Hiei." You could see for miles. Water stretched out to what looked like forever. The sun was starting to sink behind the water and Hiei grabbed her hand, pulling her down onto his lap.

He wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "The show's about to start. Look out there." He pointed to the water. As soon as half of the sun had sunk beneath the waves otters started to dance around each other. They were playing with each other. Lexis smiled and nestled into Hiei' s bare chest. "This is why I call it Otter cove." Then a dolphin jumped out of the water sending a silver stream of water up into the orange-red light. More dolphins jumped and flipped out of the water. They watched the show in silence, watching the otters and dolphins play together. Just as the last rays of sunlight started to disappear a huge humpback whale emerged from the water in the distance. The splash was like the finale because after that everything went still on the water. Hiei, however, was starting to kiss her neck. Somehow Lexis ended up on her back on the warm smooth stones of the cliff with Hiei on top of her, kissing her until she was dizzy and light headed.
