Chapter 6: Having a great time

As days went on Rena and Hiei seemed to bond like they were meant for each other, but it was strictly as friends for Hiei, and Rena didn't want to ruin what they already had. The minutes they spent together turned to hours, the hours to days, and the days to months and soon it had been six months, and they still spent every moment with each other. Hiei couldn't help it when she asked for them to go somewhere, and Rena loved it when he accepted, so she felt like she had to show him the world. But Hiei didn't mind. The more time they spent with each other, the more he actually liked being around her, and wanted to know her; not just for leverage. Rena, also found herself falling for him, and it seemed so perfect for he was so mysterious and she loved that about him. But today was different; today was Rena's 16th birthday, and she wanted Hiei to meet her mom and the rest of the family he hadn't met yet. He agreed to come (obviously) so she took him over an hour before her party to show him around. It took a little bit of convincing on her moms part before she would let him in, but after much arguing, Rena convinced her and she welcomed him to the family. While she gave him a tour of the house he noticed a bunch of pictures, but was almost afraid to look. All this time he just wanted to know how to find out if Rena had some relation to this guy, but now he was afraid of what would happen…afraid of change. He really just wanted to be with Rena. She and Hiei sat on her bed while she began to show him a photo album of her family and friends. About half way through the book, she came across a certain picture of a man, and she stopped talking and began to just stare at it.

"This…this is my dad…Goku…he died…when I was seven…"

When Hiei took a good look at the picture he gasped, for the man in the picture…the man who was Renas dad… was the man he was trying to kill. How could he have been trying to find a way to kill her father; a dead father for that. He just shook his head while he tried to think. …of course this would explain what happened the other day when her hair turned yellow and she had enormous strength. But still… she was the one that brought them together, and she would be the one to tear them apart. He couldn't just keep seeing her could he? If she knew he was going to kill her father, she would hate him forever; just like if she found out he was demon. While he was trying to figure out what to do, Rena noticed his confusion.

"Hey are you okay?"

"I-I don't know…I mean yea…Ill be fine."

"Alright if you say so."

"So…uh…I noticed that your dad is wearing a necklace similar to the one you are wearing. Did yall have the same ones or something?" "No. Actually this is his. He gave it to me right before he died and it's all I really have left of him; I'll never take it off." "I'm sorry about your dad. Though I do know how you feel, but still… him and Bre; that must be tough." "It is…but then again I have you…"

She smiled at Hiei and he couldn't help but smile back. Besides, its not like he had to tell her about her father; he never did anything, and if she wasn't going to tell him she was a Sayian, then he didn't have to tell her he was a demon. With that, Chi-Chi called to Rena and Hiei to tell them the party was ready, so they walked down to the kitchen. As the night went on they celebrated Rena's birthday with presents and laughter, and just having a great time.

After the party, Rena was walking Hiei home when she noticed how quiet he had been.

"Are you sure you're okay? You have been acting really weird since I showed the picture of my dad."

"I know… Ive just been thinking that Im going to have to leave soon."

"You mean you're not going to stay to find that guy?"

"Well I found out that he left. He must have known I was onto him so he got out of here as fast as he could."

"Oh…but you will still come back after you defeat him right?"

"Im not so sure. I think maybe it's time for me to go home."

"…Right…"

"Hey it's not like im leaving tomorrow. I am in the process of trying to contact a friend of mine so it will probably be a while."

"Alright…I guess"

Rena said goodnight to Hiei and began to think of a plan that would make him stay.
