I don't own YYH. I own Nicole, Sloane, and Destiny.

"Nicole! You back?" Kuwatchi said as she looked at the door. I had to put Destiny down because she threw a basket at me.

"FOOD!" Bryant said as he walked out.

"Ok…" Nicole said as she walked out. She took Destiny to Sloane. They seemed to like each other.

"Sloane!" I said as I walked through the door. Hiei was eating by a fire when he looked over at me.

"What're you doing here?" Hiei said as he looked at her.

"I'm looking for Sloane. Is she home?" Nicole said as she looked around.

"I'm right here!" Sloane said as she ran out of another room.

"Um…I was just wondering, do you think you could watch Destiny while I hunt?" Nicole asked.

"Not a problem." Sloane said as she took Destiny.

"Cool! And don't forget our lessons tonight!" Nicole said as she went to walk out.

"I won't!" She said as she took out some nice toys for Destiny.

"Thanks!" Nicole said as she closed the door. I didn't have anything to drive into the wood in order to get the bark. Sloane said something about roasting bark. It was too hard to peel off. I tried to climb a tree to get apples. I got about two feet off the ground and then fell on my butt. I couldn't find any nuts on the ground. I tried to pull corn from the stalk. I also tried to pick carrots. No avail. I finally took a rock and tried to smash the ice to fish. I tried three times. This is my fourth.

"Pathetic."

"Who's there?" Nicole said.

"Hn." Hiei said as he burst onto the ice and caught about 20 fish. He threw them in the basket.

"I couldn't get any of that." Nicole said as they walked back towards my house.

"You're not strong enough yet." Hiei said.

"How do I get stronger?" Nicole said as she looked down.

"I can train you. Sloane can teach you demon ways and I will help you gain strength." Hiei said as he looked at the fish.

"Really?"

Silence.

We finally got to my house and Hiei dropped the fish on the table. We left to Hiei's house. We walked in to the house to smell the aroma of stew.

"I made fish stew!" Sloane said as she put two bowls in front of us. We ate it and Sloane and I went into Sloane's room. Destiny was asleep there. Hiei walked in as well.

"Hello Hiei." Nicole said as she wondered why he was here.

"Oh, yes Nicole. I forgot to tell you. Hiei is going to our lessons as well. He trades at the black market and this way, the humans won't be able to trick him either." Sloane said as she sat him down.

"Ok…shall we start?" Nicole said as she looked at them.

"Of course. I'll ask the first question. What is the animal that looked like a dog, but is the color of…that!" Sloane said as she pointed to an orange bowl.

"Um…fox. And the color is called Orange." Nicole said.

"Ok…I understand. Fox and Orange. Now you ask Hiei." Sloane said.

"Hn."

"Hiei!" Sloane scolded.

"What is it called when ningens court?" Hiei asked.

"Dating." Nicole said.

"Oh…" Hiei said.

"My turn! My house smells like crap because of demons and carcass. What should I do?" Nicole asked.

"There is grass up by the frozen lake. It is long and smells sweet. You should pick it and hang it from the ceiling." Sloane said.

The time passed with random questions like that and it was 9:00.

"I need to be getting home. I'll see you tomorrow for our training and lessons ok?" Nicole said as she walked out with a sleeping Destiny. They fell asleep easily.

At Hiei's house…

"Hiei, I know that you like her." Sloane said.

Silence.

"Why don't you just court her already!" Sloane said as she looked around.

Silence.

He was sleeping out in the oak tree outside. But Sloane could tell that he heard it and was satisfied.

Until next time! Review!
