Okay I got a review demanding more fluff and I couldn't agree more with you! I would be adding some serious fluff into my chapters if I knew HOW! I only have one other OC story and when I started putting fluff in it… it was a while ago and my writing skills sucked! So we'll see what happens.

Chapter 19: Training sessions suck.

The next morning Shi lay asleep in her dark room completely conferrable and ready to sleep her day away. Her and Hiei had been up for at least half the night just talking about whatever came to mind.

But finally she retired in to bed and that's what she did; she fell asleep.

Suddenly the feeling of having light set upon her aroused her from her sleep. And like any sane person would do she turned away from it and tried burring herself in her black satin sheets.

"Shi get up." It was Hiei who had woken her up. "No go away." She said in a muffled voice. "No you have training."

Her head rose a bit to that. "Training?"

"Hai I'm training you."

"Why? I don't need training." She replied so surly of herself.

"Your power is pitiful so you're getting trained." He said as his voice moved towards her bedroom door. "I hate you." She said sitting up and looking dead at him with her gray eyes locking onto him.

"What time is it?" She asked sighing a bit and throwing her legs off the side of the bed. "6:oo." Her eyes widened. "Get up Ava."

"I hate you!" She screamed throwing her pillow in his direction. A smirk passed Hiei's face but as the pillow was supposed to make contact with him he flitted away.

She grumbled something about stupid fire demon but got up none-the-less.

After about ten minutes she appeared out into the morning sun dressed in a pair of very loose blue jeans a short sleeved black shirt and long black gloves that went up past her elbows.

She met Hiei at the top of the stair leading down to the ground from the temple. He looked at her oddly for a moment before his look changed back to a regular blank stare.

"So what are you going to teach me Mr. Hiei?" She asked a bit playfully starting down the stairs. He glared at her, "I'm not going to teach you anything right now."

"Then what are you going to be doing?"

"Testing you."

"Testing?"

He didn't anything but was gone in a second. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?" She shouted looking around. 'Find me using your ki.' Came his voice in her head.

Shi sighed closing her eyes and allowing anything to happen to her, a small feeling that Hiei was in a clear patch of trees a few meters from her filled her body.

Quickly she made her way to the bottom and followed her instinctive senses until she burst threw the tree's to find Hiei leaning against a tree across from her.

"About time."

"Shut up I would have been here sooner if there was a shadow to teleport myself threw!" She tried to defend.

"Then why didn't you use the shadow's given from the trees?" As her mouth opened to defend herself it closed suddenly. "Shut up."

"Hn baka."

"I said shut up!"

"You're a baka Ava." Her eye twitched a bit. "Don't call me that!" She charged after him a clenched fist ready to hit the daylights out of him; but it never happened. He flitted from her reach reappearing just a few feet away.

"You need to build up speed." He looked over at a darkened shadow from a nearby tree. "Go into that shadow." He directed pointing to the specific place. "And don't allow yourself to come back out of it."

"What?"

"You heard me." Shi looked slightly vexed from Hiei to the shadow then back to Hiei. "What?" She repeated.

He sighed. "Meld yourself into that shadow but don't allow yourself to come out somewhere else. Allow yourself to do as it wishes, you'll see what happens." He explained.

"Fine." She said in a defeated tone. She stood under the tree and closed her eyes feeling the energy flow threw her quickly.

She felt light as her eyes slowly shut and she felt herself dissolving into blackness. Suddenly everything came to a stop and she allowed herself to open her eyes.

What looked like black and white TV screens filled her world and she gazed around it appalled by what she had done. She walked forward to one wall that held Hiei in it.

What was in it shocked her for some unknown reason.

He looked around the forest a worried look on his face as he searched for something… maybe he was looking for her.

Was he looking for her?

No… he had told her to do this surly he had known she would be transported to whatever place this was. Her hands raised seemingly on there own and she pushed on the wall finding it to be a sort of gel that she could pass threw with ease.

Suddenly light passed across her vision and she felt that she was back in the same shadow she had transported from. "Shi?" Hiei's voice was right next to her and she opened her eyes meeting his crimson orbs.

"Hiei?"

"What happened to you?" His voice was fu of slight worry, like he was trying to conceal it as well as express it at the same time. "I was transported to a place full of… portals." His look changed back to normal.

"That's what was supposed to happen but it looked more like you exploded when you left."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning you transport from there differently on low energy then you would normally." She took it in easily but then thought about seeing him worried. "Hiei were you worried about me?"

He was silent for a moment. "Hai." She smiled. "So you do have feelings after all!" He gave a sort of half glare at her when a annoying ring from his communicator rang.

"What?" He asked sternly opening the top to see Koenma's face appear. "Hiei where are you? Where is Shi?" The spirit world ruler asked.

"She's right here what do you want?"

"Oh… I need you two to go investigate a murder scene." Shi's face changed t confusion. "A murder scene?" She asked pushing herself into view of the toddler.

"Yes apparently there was a murder in town last night and the body gives off high traces of demonic aura." Koenma explained as a picture of a maybe 5 story building with cop cars and ambulances around the entrance appeared.

"How was he killed?"

"Stabbed."

"Okay we'll go have a look at it!" She promised then pushing Hiei's hand that held the top of the communicator open shut. "No we won't." He said, Shi standing up and brushing herself off.

"Oh come on Hiei don't be such a party pooper!"

He stood up also, "fine but I'm not taking another one of those ningen transport machine again."

"We won't I'll get us there fast!" She said taking his hand and dragging him into a shadow teleporting them to the building they had to investigate.

"Okay l-… wait a second." She looked Hiei over. "Hiei I think you should leave your katana here… or somewhere." She said motioning to his sheathed katana.

"Hn no."

"Hiei." She started. "This dude was stabbed who knows how many times do you honestly think they will let you pass with a katana?"

"Oh well." He obviously saw her point. Or he had before but had overlooked it.

"Fine it's your life." He gave her a questionable look but followed her threw the crowd of bystanders and past the police barricades. "Excuse me this isn't a place for kids please leave." An officer said blocking the two's way.

"Well if we see ay kids passing by we'll be sure to tell you." She stated giving him thumbs up, but as she tried to pass by him he blocked her once again.

"I'm sorry I can't let you pass."

"Let us pass before I kill you right here." Hiei threatened in a deadly and icy tone. Shi turned to him, "Hiei I don't think that helped any." She stated.

"Fine." He looked from Shi to the police man, "let us pass or she'll kill you." Shi's look fell then turned to shock, "hey that's not what I meant!" She shouted at him.

"Please leave." The man ordered.

"Fine but we'll be back!" She promised taking Hiei's hand again and leading him away from the crowd and into a open area that was used to cars under the building. "So how are we going to get into the building with them there?" Shi asked leaning against a wall.

"Wait till night." She looked confused.

"It'll be easier." He reassured. She sighed, "so shall we wait here until then?"

"That would be best." He said sitting down against a metal pillar. The sound of a car rushing past rang loudly in both they're ears almost painfully, this would defiantly be a long day.

--

After a long 18 hours of waiting, (yes 18 hours.) Shi was shaken awake. Shi opened her eyes slowly her gray eyes meeting his crimson ones. "They have left."

She said nothing but looked across the street where in a shop an illuminated clock held the time; it was 11: 24. She stood up and stretched her arms walking out into the crescent moon's rays.

"Okay then." She turned to him, "let's get started." They quietly walked past the boundaries the police had set up that were now forsaken of any people. The building must have been evacuated also since Shi couldn't feel any ki at all.

"Hiei do you feel anything?" She asked quietly looking around what looked to be a lobby of a fancy hotel now shrouded in the darkness of the night.

"Yes now follow me." He ordered finding a staircase blocked by yellow caution tape. "How are we going to find this guy's room?" Shi asked running after him.

"They'll tell us." He explained not looking back at her as he turned to go up another flight of stairs.

"Who? Are you talking to yourself again?" She asked joking completely evident in her voice. He turned and glared at her. "No the ningen police."

"I'm just going to follow you because you lost me with all of that."

"Hn."

They went up about two more flights of stairs before he flitted threw the door. And Shi simply opened the stairway door and walked down a blackened hallway. The room numbered '314' was blocked with caution tape all over it and sealed shut.

Hiei stopped and looked at it a moment. Shi looked from his transfixed eyes to the door just to see it start to smolder and slowly melt apart. "Why don't you just blow in the door or something it would be a lot easier."

She leaned against the wall waiting for him to finish.

"That would signal that we have been here so you don't touch anything if possible in case those baka ningens take finger prints." Her eyes widened a bit, she had opened the stairway door.

He obviously saw this in her and turned to the now open doorway, "that's why I'm the leader here." He said walking in. "Oh… Hey! Who said you were the leader?" She almost shouted following him.

The room had been left the way it was messy but the body had been taken away. "So what are we looking for here then?" Shi questioned sticking her hands in her pockets.

"The demon's aura, anything." She nodded and walked around the room trying to sense for anything. Finally she found something of interest. "This what we're looking for?" She asked picking up a piece of long deep purple hair.

Hiei walked over to Shi and examined it then took it from her. He closed his eyes and a blue light came from his Jagan, under his headband. "Yes this is what we need." He opened his eyes again and put the hair in his pocket.

"We'll take it to Koenma tomorrow."

"Okay. Can we leave now?" She asked looking around the room, she wasn't able to sense anything like a demonic aura but the sense of insecurity was in this place.

He looked at her his Jagan eye picking up her uneasy feeling. He didn't want to keep her here any longer then possible if it made her feel this way. "Hai."

They walked out of the room but as she passed out of the doorway she fell to her knees gripping her stomach. "Shi?" Hiei asked turning and going over next to her.

"Shi what is it?" He asked worry filling him as he saw the pain written across her face.

"I- I don't know I hurt… really bad Hiei." She said looking at him a moment before squeezing her eyes shut again.

"Come on." He said picking her up bridal style and searching for the nearest exit. Fortunately a window just at the end of the hall had been left open. Just as he started to stand up her body went limp in his arms.

"Hold on Shi." He said tightening his hold on her.

--

Shi's eyes slowly opened and she found herself being held close by Hiei. "Hiei?" She questioned looking up at him. Hiei was quickly jumping from the top of one roof the next with her in his arms.

"Where are we?" She asked feeling especially weak as she looked up at him. "We're heading back to the temple close your eyes." He said in a blank tone looking down at her for a moment.

She said nothing feeling some unknown energy running threw her body. Finally she lowered her head and rested it against his chest and allowing blackness to take her vision and feel the wind whipping past them.
