Kuro-chan: hey guys! sorry i haven't uploaded a new chappie so i made an extra long one!

Zero: eh, not really, bigger by maybe 200 to 300 words more than usual.

Kiuro-chan: yeh...and it isn't good either. you can blame Puffin internet server, everytime i'm the procces of writing i close my iPad, walk to my next class, open it, and i see that the page has automatically refreshed and i have to write it ALL out again. eventually i figured it was a sign saying these ideas are no good do something else and i did my fic in pages then copied and pasted it. so here it is!

Chapter 7 Yelling, Training, Learning:

" I don't wanna be a part of your team! " , I yelled as the others held me back from strangling the baby, " and i don't want to be trained!"

"well that's just too bad girly. After all, you owe us for saving you from your own self!" , he pointed at me while hiding behind some kind of troll creature, " you were really SUPPOSED to die that day! After school you were going to kill yourself!"

I remembered the promise I had made in the locker room that day. How desperate I was to get away from it all at that moment. I looked down and stopped trying to strangle the Prince. The other detectives let go of me.

"yeah, i owe you, i realize that, but that gives you no right to completely control my life."

" you want to choose your own fate then fine! You can live on the streets like a beggar and go back to being a beat up good-for-nothing,OR , you can stay here and MEAN something for a change!"

"...when does this training of mine start"

the baby grinned, "right away."

My training began as soon as we got to a Japanese style house with a beautiful garden. Hiei Led me to an area of the house with all kinds of weapons along the walls.

"choose one." , was all he said as he waited for me to pick an item.

I walked along the wall trying to see what I could use and stopped at a one of those ornate fans. Carefully I opened the fan, the edge was surprisingly sharp. Hiei raised an eyebrow but said nothing until I returned to him, now with two fans, one in each hand,

" i was hoping you would make this easy on me and pick a sword."

" Learning with only one weapon seems kind of dumb doesn't it? What if someone steals it?"

" If you are any good than it wouldn't be stolen from you in the first place."

" I...guess you're right."

long silence.

"well?", Hiei spouted impatiently.

" W-well what?"

" Come at me."

" GEHK! what?! but i've never fought in my entire life!"

" i just want to see how strong and fast you are before we start. Don't hold back either, if you do then you'll regret it."

I gulped and tightened my grip on the fans. I hoped that I wouldn't accidentally hurt him and charged. One second he was there, the next he was behind me whacking me in the back with a stick. I fell face first onto the floor and groaned.

"not bad for a stupid Onna like you actually. You're faster than i thought. Maybe you ARE a demon after all."

" So you doubt it too...good to know i guess."

" There is no doubt that you are part demon and part witch, but you lack proper training which has made you slow and lazy. You SHOULD have been faster than me."

"faster?! YOU FREAKING TELEPORTED! "

"Hn, hardly, i was just too fast for you to see. Now get up. We are going to do this all night until you finally manage to hit me."

I got hit by Hiei's stick just about everywhere he could hit me except your head and face, for some reason he couldn't mess with that. Finally though I managed to get a hit on him, even if it was a cheat move.

"Hiei...what's that over there." , I pointed at one of the weapons on the rack.

"you think i'm going to fall for that?" , His gaze moved from me only to huff .

" No, it was dumb to try."

He noticed the fan I had been holding in my right hand was gone. He turned and dodged but he ended up with a thin slice on his arm. I caught the fan easily and smirked.

" Training sessions over."

At Genkai's that morning

I groaned as I awoke from my peaceful slumber. I was in a japanese style room and was on a sleeping matt. I tried to remember exactly what had happened to me yesterday. I got up and looked in a mirror that was in a corner of the room. I was plastered in bandages from training the night before. that's right, Hiei beat the crap out of me while we were sparring. , you remembered almost too well, did he have to be so brutal though? The Door burst open and you saw a small old lady. She walked in and gave you a stern look.

" so, you are the witch.", she rasped.

"i suppose. ", I sighed, " but I'm really not important as Koenma made me out to be...are you Genkai?"

" I am.", her eyes moved to my bandages, "tch, I assume you started your training right away without a proper rest."

"Koenma said that there would be people after me so i should start right away.", i sat back down and my head dropped tiredly, " Rest would have been nice but i don't want to be killed when i just got here."

" Being killed won't matter when you die of overwork. Either that or Hiei will kill you. "

"Yeah..."

"Breakfast is ready, unless you would like to continue resting."

" uh-", my stomach chose for me and growled.

"i guess you'll be eating then."

Genkai was pretty harsh on my table manners but otherwise she reminded me of a grandmother. As soon as we had both finished eating I immediately scooped up the plates and washed them.

" You don't have to do that you know, especially since you are so beat up."

" I did not help you make breakfast, set up my bed, in fact i don't remember entering my room in the first place so i assume i was carried there, and i was never officially invited into your home. The least i can do is DISHES."

I dried off my hands and wiped the table clean before sitting back down. The woman stared at me with her arms folded and a gaze that could melt ice.

"Why are you here?"

" 'cus baby face wants me to be.", I said, " and cus i don't want to be alone again."

" but mostly the latter one. am i right?"

"...yes.", i sighed.

" Having Hiei train you how to fight physically is nice and all, but someone has to teach you how to use your magic."

"magic? Like the whole black magic and witchcraft business?"

" Somewhat. I can only give you this and teach you how to read Latin.", she tossed me a book and continued after i had caught and opened it," Then we'll get to work on finding a real witch that can train you."

" ...what about my mother or father? i mean...they've gotta exist somewhere...right?"
