Sakura woke up the next morning. She was lying in a bed that was not her own. Also, birds were chirping through the window, and there were the sounds of an air conditioner in the room. She sat up and opened her eyes. This was not her room. There were plants everywhere. On the windowsill, on the desk, and someone was sitting in the desk, staring at her with his beautiful emerald eyes and a concerned expression.
"Sakura? Are you alright?" Kurama asked. Sakura blinked.
"Where am I?" She asked.
"We're in my room," he answered. "After that gang attacked us, you were bleeding, and so I took you here where you could recover. It's Sunday, so there's no school. You slept right through Saturday." What he forgot to tell her was that he had given her plants that would make her sleep while he healed her wound.
Just then Shiori came in. "I thought you two might like some lunch," She said, carrying a tray that had ramen on it.
"Shiori-san!" Sakura said, and got out of bed to say hello, but as soon as she got up, she fell over.
"Sakura!" Kurama said as he helped her get back into the bed. "You're not fully healed yet, so you better not get up for several hours."
"Hai!" She said. She then remembered something. "My job! Oh no, I'm going to be fired if I don't go!" She said.
That's when she noticed that Kurama was getting out of his chair. "I'm going work for you," he said. "You stay here and rest, ok?" He then left before Sakura could argue.
It was several minutes after he left when she sensed someone else's presence inside the room. "Who's there?" Sakura twisted her head to look around the room, but saw no one. Then, a black-cloaked figure came inside the room. He had a hood on, but Sakura recognized him. "You're the guy that I fought several weeks ago!" Sakura said. "Why won't anyone give up?"
Hiei smirked at her, and then sat down in the chair that was facing the desk. "You're Takanouchi Sakura, right?" He asked.
"Give me one reason why I should answer," Sakura said boldly. Hiei turned to look at her, and his expression scared her.
"If you do not, then I will see to it that every person that you have ever spoken to in your entire existence will be dead. Do I make myself clear?" Hiei asked. Sakura shrugged.
"Whatever," She answered, pretending to not be intimidated by this smaller, yet wiser being. "I've got a question for you, first. Who are you, how do you know who I am, why do you want to know, and how did you get in this room?"
Hiei smirked again. "One question at a time, but you answer mine first."
Sakura frowned. "Fine, I'll play by your rules. My name is Takanouchi Sakura."
"Hiei," he answered. "Now, who taught you to use your weapons?"
Sakura smiled. "Self-taught," she answered.
Hiei considered this. "I know who you are because I know Kurama. Now, when did you first start learning how to use the daggers?"
"When I was ten," She answered.
"My turn again. I want to know because I think that you're not good enough for Kurama. Now, why don't you have any relatives?" He asked.
"My mother died giving birth to me, and my father died because he was the Toganawa Shrine Master in Kyoto and was targeted by a gang because of his religion. He died when I was nine," She answered.
"I got into this room through the window," He said, smirking. "Now, tell me, when you use your daggers, you put your chi into them. How can you do this?" He asked.
"I'm not sure. My dad always said stuff about me having a special chi because of my mother, and that I could become a great fighter someday. I had to fight to protect myself and the shrine from harm. Now, for another question," she said. "What am I supposed to do to convince you that I am good enough for Shuiichi?" She asked.
"Simple," Hiei said, leaning closer to her. "Fight me."
"Just exactly how the heck am I supposed to fight you when I have an injury?" Sakura asked.
Hiei smiled. "When you're feeling better I'll find you," Hiei said, getting up to leave.
"Wait!" Sakura yelled. Hiei stopped and turned to look at her. "How do you know Shuiichi?" She asked.
Hiei smiled. "It's against the rules," he said and vanished. Sakura was amazed at his speed. She leaned over and went to sleep. She wanted to fight him, but she needed sleep to do that.
~*~ Reikai ~*~
Koenma, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and George looked at the screen in anticipation. "This had better be good," Koenma said, "If something bad happens because I canceled your mission, then I'm blaming you." He pointed to the ogre standing next to him.
"But... sir, you can't," George said.
"Quiet you two, I really think this is going to work," Kuwabara said as he stared intently at the screen. "She should be coming about now," he said. This made Yusuke laugh again.
"You still think that it's a girl who's been completing my missions?" Yusuke asked between breaths as he tried to control his laughter.
"Shut up, Urameshi," he said. "And just what do you mean by mu missions?" he asked. "I thought it was our missions!" They then started to fight, with Yusuke winning in ten seconds.
~*~ Three Hours Later ~*~
"A little to the left... no!" Yusuke shouted as they all watched an anime marathon from the TV while eating ice cream. Everyone except fpr George. He was being blamed for the mysterious guy not showing up and as punishment he had to stamp papers while the rest of them watched anime. The masked guy never did show up.

Yay! Another chappie-ter done! I'm thinking of writing an Angelic Layer fic as well, to add on to all of the fics that I'm writing now. I may not update in a while, but Review and Reply and maybe I'll update sooner *hint* *hint*
