'Whoa… her eyes… they gleam with the power of a true demon warrior who was at war,' Kurama thought to himself. He wasn't the only one who thought this, though. Timber wasn't surprised, as she knew Phire before when they were 12. Hiei felt his heart beating faster than when he fought Yusuke and lost due to him not being able to concentrate. He was the only one who realized that Phire was staring directly into his eyes.
'Hiei, you and I meet at the hill of Gondolo at midnight,' she telepathically told him. Hiei shook his eyes. He, of course, heard her.
'You guys, you guys! Why the shocker?' Timber asked, trying to calm everybody down. Phire's eyes gradually turned fiery red from bloody red and she put her sword away. She went over to them and went towards Kurama.
'Please, calm down, I merely defended myself, how is that such a big deal?' Phire asked Kurama, touching his face. Kurama's face became salsa without the vegetables, and then finally calmed down, his face still full of salsa. Keiko and Botan were still scared while everyone else calmed down. Just then, they started screaming like idiots.
'OH MY! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN PHIRE! WE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE GONNERS, BUT THEN SHE JUST "WHOOSHED" AND THEN HER SWORD WAS AT HIS THROAT AND…' they continued explaining how powerful Phire was and how 'cool' her moves were. Phire rolled her eyes.
'Phire, you must be the best demon on the block!' Kuwabara said. 'I bet you could defeat Hiei!' he exclaimed. Hiei death glared Kuwabara, and Kuwabara went behind Botan, who was still shocked.
'Well actually,' Phire started, and when Hiei tried to cut her off, but she continued, 'I could defeat Hiei with ease if no conditions are there that would affect me.' Hiei thought to himself.
'Well, why don't we go back to my place?' Keiko asked so she could break the awkward silence. Everyone but Phire and Hiei nodded. They were glaring into each other's eyes.
'If what she says is correct, then she could be my greatest rival and… intriguing friend,' Hiei thought to himself. Phire heard but didn't do anything about it.
