Wondering Love

Fire Vixen sat on a cliff looking out into the sea holding her legs to her chest. She looked at the bottom and saw Hiei there training himself and she sighed. Why can't anyone try to be friends with the elements? It's a lot less lonely, better and you get better results.

She stood up and was about to walk away when she heard someone yell at her, "LOST INTEREST?" She turned around and saw only Hiei continuing his training and then saw him turn around to look at her. She disappeared and reappeared in front of him.

"What exactly do you want?" she asked looking at him with a cold glare.

He stared at her, "I'm just wondering if you really do have what it takes to be on the team."

Fire Vixen raised her brow at him, "Is that a challenge I hear?" He didn't say anything, "I guess a little challenge couldn't hurt. I'll be easy on you at first then if you want more I will make it a little harder."

Hiei closed his eyes and smirked, "As if you could beat me."

"Do I hear a hint of over confidence?" Fire Vixen asked as she stepped about twenty feet away from him.

"And I don't hear any from you?" the little fire demon spoke to the girl looking at her and stood still looking at Caralama who did the exact same. His eyes slinted as he watched every move she made…but she made no move at all. She suddenly disappeared and he looked a little surprised as he looked all around the place for her. He saw a shadow fly over him and he looked up to see a huge golden fox flying at him, "You're…a fox demon?" He made a move to jump and jumped into the air at the fox. The fox looked at him and grinned as it crunched into a little ball and started spinning in circles. When Hiei was close enough it her he straightened his body and prepared to attack her. Before he could land a hit she hit him with her two tails and he went spiralling into the water.

The fox landed on the beach and turned back into Fire Vixen like the way she was before. She watched the water and let the elements and her senses tell her where Hiei was and how he was doing. She continued to watch the sea until she saw a figure come out of the water. He looked at her with fire in his eyes, "I hate water," he looked angry as he told her this.

"It was either that or make you hit a very hard rock…since there are a lot around here," she said as she folded up her arms, closed her eyes and smirked.

Hiei went straight at her but just as he was about to hit her…he ran right through her. He looked at the open space in front of him his eyes wide then looked behind him to see that Fire Vixen hadn't made a move. He stepped up behind her and made as if to punch her but his fist went right through her, "What is this?"

She turned around and looked at him with a smile, "I can make myself go through things, or people if I want to."

Hiei started at her, "Isn't that cheating?" he asked her crossing his arms.

She continued to smile but he realized it was still that said smile as she closed her eyes and tilted her head to the sand and then up to the sky opening her eyes, "I guess in some sense it would be called cheating." She looked at him as she lowered her head and stuck her index finger in the air and closed one eye. Her other hand laid on her arm just above her elbow, "But in another sense it would be cald surviving an attack."

Hiei stared at her and couldn't suppress his smile as he crossed his arm, "I doubt you would show me that trick would you?"

She smiled and giggled closing her eyes as she covered her mouth with her hand. She looked up at him, "I'm afraid only my kind and their mates can have the same abilities I have. I could show you a few tricks…but you would be so confused that when the Finals come you wouldn't be able to tell how to use your Fist of the Immortal Flame properly. Maybe after the tournament if we have a chance."

Fire Vixen turned and was about to leave when Hiei ran in front of her. He stared at her and she stared at him, "Yes Hiei?" she said with a confused look.

"I…" he hesitated, "I…I…I just wanted to say you're a good fighter and you are strong enough to be on the team. At first I thought you were even weaker than the idiot."

She smiled, "Well…I am glad that I have passed your little test."

She began to walk away again, "What was his name?" Hiei asked his back still towards her.

She didn't turn around as she stopped walking, "What was whose name?"

The fire demon turned his eyes to look at her but that was it, "What was your father's name? Maybe I can give you a better answer then I did when we first talked about him. That is, I mean, if he is good to keep his word."

Fire Vixen looked behind her at the fire demon her eyes surprised and tears appearing at the corners of her eyes. She held he thumb up to her chin but didn't let it touch it, "I…it was…it…doesn't matter and I don't want you to know." She looked up at Hiei and smiled a little, "My older brother…Claws gave up on him when mother disappeared. His twin Fly Boy is almost ready to give up as well. My twin sister and I are still holding onto some hope…I don't want that sliver of hope to blow up in my face. But…thank you Hiei for your concern."

Hiei didn't hear anything for a while and turned around to see Fire Vixen had vanished. He continued his training for a few more hours until he was somewhat sufficient. He sat on a rock and looked at the setting sun thinking about how to win the next match. As he watched the sun he swore he saw Fire Vixen's face in the center with her sad smile and his heart leapt. What is this feeling? He wondered as he placed his hand over heart closing his eyes as his thoughts wondered over to Fire Vixen. The way she smelled, the way she looked, the way her hands felt when she had touched his arm and other things. Is this what humans call love? He looked at the sun but the image of Fire Vixen was gone and he sighed as he continued to train again.

Fire Vixen sat down at the base of a tree her hands behind her head as she looked up into the trees her legs laid out before her and, crossed over each other "You should be training," she heard a voice behind her but she didn't jump.

Instead she closed her eyes and smiled, "I wondered when you were going to make your presence known…Yusuke."

Yusuke appeared out of the shadows of the trees, "How long have you know that I was there?"

"Ever since I sensed you coming," she said with her eyes still closed, "I am training believe it or not. Well…I'm actually thinking about my battle statistics."

"Umm…come again? I swear you are almost like Kurama, saying big words that I don't understand half of the time."

Fire Vixen smiled, "If I'm going to fight someone during the finals…I have to think up ways to attack that person and hopefully…kill them if they deserve to be killed."

Yusuke looked at her, "You remind me to much of Kurama…are you sure you two aren't related?"

She finally opened her eyes and looked at him, "I am quite sure that I am not related to him." Fire Vixen stood up and wiped her pants, "I think I'll do some physical training now. I've done about four hours of mental training."

Yusuke smiled and wrapped his arm around her, "Not until you get something to eat first." Fire Vixen smiled as she took hold of Yusuke's hand that was wrapped around her shoulders and smiled.

That night Fire Vixen snuck out of the hotel room with a fire demon trailing her. She went into a clearing and looked around her to see if anyone had followed and sighed, "You don't trust me do you Hiei?"

The fire demon appeared in front of her and stared at her, "How did you know I was there?"

She smiled and sat on a rock inviting him to sit with her, "The air may not like me, but it likes my mother, my brother and twin sister. So it told me you were following me and I could catch a bit of your spirit energy."

Hiei sat beside her and looked at her, "Why did you come out here?"

She looked at him and smiled, "Basically I wanted to get my voice and dance moves ready for the battle tomorrow. That is one of the many ways I can kill a person."

Hiei looked at her and then looked away, "By what? Singing them to sleep?"

She smiled a laughed a little, "I guess it would seem that way wouldn't it? Here I'll show you what I mean. It will only be for fun so you don't have to worry."

She stood up and the wind picked up a little swirling around her as she closed her eyes and Hiei felt an enormous amount of spirit energy pouring from of her. She began swaying from side to side as the music Angel Of Mine started to play around them. (Don't own.) She opened her mouth and he was instantly awed by the sound of her voice.

When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine

I look at you, lookin' at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
I'm gonna love you boy you are so fine
Angel of Mine

How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow
You came into my life sent from above
When I lost all hope you showed me love
I'm checkin' for ya boy you're right on time
Angel of Mine

Nothing means more to me than what we share
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of Mine

What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside I need to show
You came into my life sent from above (Sent from above)
When I lost all hope, you showed me love (Boy you showed me love)
I'm checkin' for ya, boy you're right on time (Right on Time)
Angel of Mine (Angel of mine)

I never knew I could feel each moment
As if it were new,
Every breath that I take, the love that we make
I only share it with you (you, you, you, you)
When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of Mine

You came into my life sent from above (Came into my life, yeah yeah yeah)
When I lost all hope you showed me love (Boy You showed me love, uh huh)
I'm checkin' for ya, boy you're right on time (But boy your right on time)
Angel of Mine (Angel of mine, oh mine)

How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow

I look at you lookin' at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
I'm checkin' for ya, boy you're right on time
Angel of Mine

Hiei heard other voices join into the song Fire Vixen was singing and he saw all kinds of plants grow around her. He continued to watch her even after the song was done and he had made up his mind then. He had some how fallen in love with Fire Vixen and now she was all he could think about. He didn't know her that well and she didn't know him as well. But they could get to know each other while she was still with the team.

She walked over to him with a smile on her face and sat down beside him, "Do you think I can beat some one with my voice? I didn't dance so that is why the plants weren't aggressive. The other reason was that I was singing rather gently but I know that once you see me fight…you won't have a doubt in your mind of what I can do."

Hiei started at her and spoke, "It sounds like you loved your father a lot." He just said randomly and she stared at him and nodded.

"Fire Vixen isn't my real name, neither are the names of my brothers and sister real. They were just names our dad called us that seemed to suite us quite well. Were your parents like that?"

Hiei turned and looked at her his eyes slightly wide, "…No," he looked at the sky, "My father abandoned my mother and my mother's tribe banished me from the island." With out knowing it Hiei suddenly began to blurt out his entire life story to Fire Vixen, including the part about Yukina being his sister.

When he was done he looked at her surprised what he had done and saw that she had concern in her eyes, "No one should ever be treated like that Hiei. I'm sorry that I, or any of the other Signs didn't know about you or we would have helped in anyway we could."

He looked at her and cupped her face and she did nothing against it, "It happened in the past and there is nothing that can be done of it now. But thank you for understanding." Before either of them knew it, their faces were getting closer together as they closed their eyes. Fire Vixen leaned forward her mind not working at all and Hiei was the same. They paused for a second slowly realizing what they were doing, but Hiei's hand moved to the back of Caralama's neck while she gently cupped his cheek. Finally they closed their eyes and shared a kiss that brought them to a place pure of bliss.

Caralama broke the kiss for a second and looked at him, breathing a little hard, "Hiei…I think we are going a little to fast. I mean…I really do want to go further but we just met and don't know that much about each other."

Hiei looked at her as well breathing a little hard, "You are probably right." They looked at each other and then went in for another kiss. Hiei's arms rapped around Fire Vixen while she wrapped her arms around his neck brushing one hand through his hair and then pulled him closer to her.

Hiei leaned down and placed one hand on the rock he was on and laid Fire Vixen on it. Her back found a jagged, pointy rock and she shot right up rubbing her back, "Ow."

Hiei fell off of her and landed on his butt, on the ground and looked up at her. He looked at her, "What?"

She looked at him and took hold of the jagged rock and showed it to him, "I swear I didn't see this here before."

Hiei looked at her and smirked, "I guess the rocks know we were pushing it a little to far."

Caralama looked at him and laughed, "I guess so…and it would technically be the earth not 'the rocks'."

Hiei continued to smirk as he stood up and looked at her as she stood up as well, "We should start back to the hotel before anyone realises we're gone and start to worry." Caralama smiled for a moment a smile that wasn't sad and walked back to the hotel as well.


Hey listen so sorry I didn't update but I went on a trip with my family to PEI for three days and two nights. There were also some other reasons like not really interested for a while, major mindblock and I had the story typed up but didn't really feel like putting it on. Also the last thing is I've been working really hard on the next story of the series to come...I just have one question...How do the people who are reading this think about male pregnancy because I've seen it in other stories so I was just wondering. Because it is going to be in the next story which is in a mess it self.

And for shoulder monkey thanks for reviewing. Yoko is going to regain his memory but...it isn't exactly going to be happy.

Yoko: What do you mean by that?

Me: It will turn out all right in the end though.

Yoko: How come I have a feeling you are going to kill me again like you did in the second stroy?

Me: Um...well.

Yoko: I knew it: Yoko slaps his head and looks at me: Another question...how many times are you going to kill me int his way?

Me: Well counting this one...three.

Yoko: THREE!

Me But after that I'm just going to make it normal again and pick on other people.

Yoko: Thats nice to hear...I think.

Me Laughs: Well to everyone else who is out there don't be shy and please review.
