Chapter 5

Practice

"Why did I have to join again?" It's been a month since Ann and Angel had joined the Urameshi Team.

"Because," Hiei explained, "we needed two more members on the team this year."

"You need six members?" Angel found that astonishing since the team that wins the battle in the tournament is usually whoever can win the most rounds. For the past tournaments, it's been the best three out of five.

"Actually seven, but Genkai's our seventh member." Hiei cleared up.

Angel and Hiei were alone. Hiei lead Angel to a cliff, where Koenma had instructed that they train there by climbing up the vertical cliff wall, with five hundred pound weights on each leg.

"I'm surprised you can carry one thousand pounds up a ninety degree wall." Hiei said.

"Why's that? Because I'm a girl, Hiei?" Angel was a few feet below Hiei, and looked up to see his face.

Hiei looked down at hers. "Well-"

"Boys! They think just because they're from Mars and we're from Venus, they can be all powerful! Makes me sick!" Angel went in front of Hiei.

"Get back here!" Hiei chased Angel up a cliff.

Just to see you live,

One hour later, they reached the top of the cliff, and watched the sun set as they sat by one another.

Hiei kept stealing quick glances at Angel as she watched the sunset.

Her face was outlined perfectly by the orange rays from the setting sun. The orange rays also gave her face a more angelic glow. Hiei continued to steal quick glances as he thought things he thought he'd never imagined.

"Angel, let's get going." Hiei said as the sun was completely overpowered by the darkness.

"Why? Because it's getting a little dark?" she taunted.

"I guess. But, I'm not afraid of the dark if that's what you're getting at." Hiei stood up, and offered Angel his hand.

"Then what's the reason?" Angel asked, not taking his hand.

Hiei kept his hand offered to her. "Because, my twin will start to worry."

"My sister won't worry. You can go ahead. I'll catch up with you-"

Hiei interrupted her. "I'm not leaving without you!"

Angel looked shocked. "Why not?"

"Huh?" Hiei began to turn red as he turned around.

"Please answer, Hiei." Angel asked softly.

"I don't know." Hiei mumbled.

Angel was getting pissed off with the way Hiei was always saying, "I don't know," to her.

"Do you know anything, Hiei? Or are boys just that dumb?" Angel said aggravated.

"I know you're beautiful." Hiei thought out loud. Damn. Did I just say that! Hiei didn't dare to look at Angel.

Angel stood up and walked behind Hiei. "What did you just say?" she whispered in his ear.

Hiei shivered with enjoyment by mistake. He has the urge to turn around and pull Angel into a lovingly rough kiss but the only thing that stopped him was the small pair off arms that wrapped around his waist from the back.

They belonged to Angel. "You said something like I was beautiful. Is that what you said, Hiei?" Angel rested her head on Hiei's back.

"Angel," Hiei whispered in a caring voice. "I-"

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND A TRUOBLE YOU ARE EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT HOME, ANGELENE GENKAI DREI?" a person came running through the woods, stopping behind the two apparitions.

"ANGELENE! HIEI YOU BETTER LET GO OF MY SISTER!"

Ann. Damn it. Why her? Why now? Angel thought as she let Hiei go.

"He wasn't touching me. I was touching him. Now get to the point of this visit, Ann. You knew I was with Hiei training for the tournament."

"You are no longer going to allowed to be alone with Hiei! Is that understood?" Ann said strictly. "And you have no choice but to go home because you are in major trouble with mother." Ann snapped her fingers and her younger sister was soaked, yet again.

"Why am I in trouble all the time!" Angel yelled as she snapped her fingers and became try, as her sister's hair stuck up and an electric pulse surged through Ann's body. "Last time I checked, water conducts electricity and I haven't been home in a few weeks!"

Ann was still being electrocuted when she screamed, "I'm going to kill you, Angel!"

"Angel, take my hand." Hiei, who was still red, offered his hand to Angel. This time, she took it, wanting to get far away from her older sister.

"Damn you, Hiei!" Ann cursed as she recovered from the electric pulses, and ran back to the apartment.

I will give!

"Hiei, why did you do that?" Angel asked as they landed on another cliff in a different location. She glanced around, and came to the conclusion she was somewhere, where she's never been and wondered why he brought her here.

"We need to…um…continue our," he coughed, "conversation alone. In private." Hiei started turning even redder then he started out with.

"Oh, yeah. That." Angel blushed, too.

She's cute when she gets red like that. Hiei thought.

Angel sat down on the edge of the cliff and let her bare legs daggle.

For the past few days, her and Hiei had been practicing multiple of things to prepare for the tournament, so neither one of them had time to change to different clothes-Hiei stayed in his black cloak and black pants, Angel didn't know what color shirt he had been wearing. Angel was wearing a black H.I.M. shirt, with black jeans that were ripped off from the bottom up to half way in between her knees and hips.

"Hiei," Angel patted the ground next to her, motioning him to sit next to her.

Hiei obeyed her, and sat relatively close to her. "Angel, what were you doing back there, before Ann came in?"

Angel smirked. "What were you going to say, and I'll tell you."

Hiei turned his head away from Angel, and mumbled quietly.

"Hiei, I couldn't hear that." Angel took her hand and turned Hiei head towards her. She removed her hand. "Speak louder, Hiei."

"I said, 'I love...'" he trailed off.

Angel's smirk changed into a smile. "I know what you want to say. I want to say it, too." she confessed. "It's hard, isn't it? We're like best friends, but how do tell your best friend you care for him or her if it's this hard?" she asked him.

Hiei looked down at the blue haired girl besides him. "You don't."

Angel looked up at Hiei. "What do you-"

Hiei interrupted her by kissing her lips. When he pulled away from her, he said, "You show them how much you care."

Angel smiled. She caught the hint, and kissed him back.
