Chapter 20: STAY IN BED!

"Alright I'm here. Let's get this over with." Master Roshi walked up to Rei.

"Are you sure your body can handle this?" he asked.

"No, it probably can't. Probably only last two minutes," Rei is in an unusually happy voice. Roshi sweat dropped and knocked her in the head. "Ow! It's going to be a minute and 59 seconds thanks to that!"

"YOU SHOULD BE IN BED!"

"I'm way to stubborn for that," she said keeping calm unlike the fuming master.

"Fight!" Pryo rushed towards Rei with great speed (not as fast as Hiei) and tried an elbow strike but Rei bent backwards. Rei cringed when she felt a sharp pain go up her left leg.

'What the hell! I haven't even done anything yet!' Rei slammed the bottom of her right foot into Pyro's chin and he went flying back. He flipped to his feet before he hit the ground. Using the force of her hit he sprung forward once he hit the ground. He did a couple of jab punches before doing a powerful uppercut. Rei went skidding across the platform. Once she stopped she attempted to get up by putting all her weight on her right arm. A surge of pain went straight up it. 'My body's totally shredded. I can't use my right arm anymore. Only one way to make sure I don't.' Rei thought while standing. Rei took her left palm and slammed it in to her should making it pop out. Everyone gasped, they had no idea what was going on in her head…when do they ever?

"And you did that why?" asked Pyro coldly. Rei went in to a fighting stance…sort of. Her left leg wouldn't cooperate and her right arm was just hanging there. Fire began to surround Pyro's hands. Soon after he shot a bunch of fireballs at Rei. She dodged the best she could but fell backwards when her left leg gave out. 'AND THERE GOES THE LEFT ONE!' she yelled in her head.

'Told you not to get out of bed. Did you listen? Nope,' said Kyoto in Rei's head.

'Shut up!'

'Cranky!'

"Rei look out!" yelled Yusuke. Rei refocused only to see a giant bird made of fire draw closer right towards her.

"Crap." The bird slammed her back onto the wall. Rei slid down the wall on to the floor still conscious, a few seconds later her eyes closed.

"Exactly one minute and 59 seconds. She really knows her body," whispered Roshi. "Winner Pyro!"

XXX

Rei groaned as she forced her eyes to open. Rei blinked a couple of times to refocus. The first thing that came into view was… I'll give you a hint. It starts with an 'H'. Got it? The answer is…Hatori! You thought it was Hiei didn't you? HAHAHAH…back to the story. Rei screamed as she jumped out of bed to the nearest thing to her, which happened to be Yusuke.

"I love you too Rei, just not enough to let Hiei kill me," he said pointing his thumb behind him. Rei looked behind Yusuke to see Hiei glaring sharp pointy daggers at his back. Rei got off Yusuke, pranced over to Hiei and hung onto him.

"Get off me Onna!" he yelled.

"But Hatori scares me!"

"Does it look like I care!"

"You should!"

"Why's that!"

"Because that's what boyfriends do! They protect their innocent defenseless girlfriends!"

"You're not defenseless and defiantly not innocent."

"Meany!" she cried as Hatori grabbed her collar and flung her back to the bed.

"You better stay on that bed or I'll chain you to it!" he yelled. "Do you know what I had to do to fix you up? I had to relocate you're shoulder, fix all you're muscles, and heal all the burn marks while trying to keep you're body FROM ATTACKING ME!"

"Well I'm so sorry that my body goes in defense mode when I'm asleep!"

"Five hours! Five hours it took me!"

"I've been asleep for five hours!"

"YES!"

"Dude you need a vacation."

"I would but somebody keeps missing her appointment so I have to use other methods to give her the shot!"

"Yeah about that! What the hell?"

"What you didn't like the little lip lock?"

"No I didn't!"

"Stay in bed for the rest of the day and you can go back to school tomorrow." Rei frowned at the thought of school. "Now I have other patients to take care of." Hatori walked out leaving the gang with Rei. Hiei turned and glared at Rei.

"Out," said the angry fire demon.

"Okay," Rei said getting out of bed.

"NOT YOU!" he yelled. The gang slowly crept away at the tone of the demons voice.

"We'll be leaving now," said Yusuke as they all rushed out the door.

"You told me you we're fine!"

"I'm alive, I consider that fine."

"You could of died!"

"Naw. You're such a worry wart!"

"Why wont you tell me who that guy was?" A shadow covered Rei's eyes.

"I can't," she whispered.

"Why not?"

"…Blackmail!" Hiei face faulted.

"Blackmail?"

"YEAH, THAT JERK USED MY OWN TATICS AGAINST ME!"

"I think it's called Karma."

"You're supposed to be on my side."

"…No." Rei's jaw dropped.

"Meany."

"Yup." Tears built up in Rei's eyes. Hiei rolled his eyes and pulled Rei into a lip lock. Unknown to them the rest of the gang was watching them through a one-way mirror.

"I don't think we should be doing this," said Yukina blushing and covering her eyes.

"I agree," said Kurama.

"Then why are you still looking?" asked Yusuke. Kurama remained silent.

"I don't know about you but this is kind of disturbing," said Kuwabara.

"Because Hiei got a girl to kiss him before you or because it's Hiei?" asked Botan.

"Both." Everyone nodded in agreement as the door opened.

"Ah, I see you found the secret room," said Ayame. "This is the one room Rei has no idea about." The door in the other room opened reviling a young teen with the kanji for spirit and guardian in sliver on his forehead. Rei and Hiei had already pulled away from each other as soon as the door opened.

"Miss Rei, Jackal needs to see you right away!" he said saluting.

"Okay! Bye Hiei! Have Ayame in the room with the two way mirror take you around Meltokyo!" she said running out the door with the boy right behind. Hiei turned to the two-way mirror and glared. The others gulped and Ayame scratch the back of his head.

"So much for the secret room. Well come on. I don't think we'll be seeing her for awhile." They all looked at him in bewilderment. "You'll see."

XXX

"Thanks Kotetsu," said Rei running down a large hallway. The Boy smiled and a puff of navy blue smoke appeared. Running out of smoke was our friend Kotetsu from chapter 17.

"No problem. Bet you're glad you have a friend for can transforms," he said.

"Of course!" Ahead was a fork in the road…err hallway. Rei went left. "This is where we spit up!"

"See ya!" yelled Kotetsu going right.

"Rei, I have some aspirin-" Hatori stopped in mid sentence when he realized no one was in the room.The glass of water he was holding shattered under the pressure of his hand. Hatori closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "REI!"

XXX

"ACHOO!" sneezed Rei. "Somebody must be talking about me…great."

XXX

"That was fun! You Elemental Physics sure know how to party," laughed Yusuke. Him and the others were walking back to Rei's hospital room.

"Of course. We have to entertain our self's some how while we're not fighting demons," said Ayame stopping at the door.

"I don't understand why were going back to the room. Rei already left," said Kuwabara. "It should be empty."

"I doubt that," he said opening the door. Inside was a very bored Rei under the covers and looking up at the ceiling.

"Hey Rei!" shouted Botan. Rei didn't even acknowledge the bubbly grim reaper. "Rei?"

"Don't worry about her. She's just sulking."

"Why?" asked Keiko. Ayame walked over to the bed and lifted the covers. Red bands were wrapped around Rei's body and binding her to the bed.

"Demon binds: Not just good for capturing wanted criminals but also good for capturing pyromaniac half demons."

"If I could move I'd hurt you," she said dully. "We need to install a TV on the ceiling."

"Onna..." sighed Hiei.

"Stupid leg cramps."

"That's why I told you to stay in bed," came Hatori's voice from the doorway.

"Whatever."

"She sounds really…dull," observed Yusuke.

"Those binds absorb her energy as well."

"Poor Rei," said Yukina.

"It's her own fault."

"It seems she tried to escape again," said a voice form behind everyone. Everyone but Hiei and Hatori jumped. Jackal has entered the room people!

"If I could and even cared I would jump but I can't," said Rei. Jackal chuckled at this. Jackal held Kotetsu by the ear.

"This wouldn't happen to be the person that helped you escaped, now would it?"

"Yup that's him." Kotetsu's jaw dropped to the floor.

"Traitor!"

"Yup."

"You're punishment is to clean Master Roshi's dojo," said Jackal.

"The WHOLE thing?"

"Yes."

"Man!" yelled Kotetsu stomping out of the room.

"Rest Rei and you can go back to school tomorrow."

"I don't want to go to school."

"Hm? Why's that?"

"Parent teacher conferences."

"I see."

"What? You doing bad in school so you don't want you're parents to know?" laughed Kuwabara.

"I can see that!" laughed Yusuke.

"My parents are dead." The two laughing boys instantly shut up.

"Sorry."

"Don't be. I don't remember them."

And I didn't want to remember them.

"You're still going to school," said Jackal.

"Whatever."

"Come now, lets let Rei rest," said Jackal. "Ayame go find Kai for me."

"Okay!"

XXX

It was almost six and Rei was the only one in her class that hasn't had her conference yet.

"Miss Hino where is your guardian?" asked her teacher.

"Well-" The sliding door slammed open.

"Here I am!" yelled a very familiar person.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

"Jackal told me that you need someone for today so naturally I came," said Soeki.

"Where are Miss Hino's parents?"

"They were busy so I came!"

"And you are?"

"Soeki Hino, Rei's older and more calm cousin!"

"Take a seat by Rei and lets get started." Soeki skipped over to Rei and took a seat, while smiling.

"It looks like Rei's been doing fine in all her class according to all her teacher."

"Of course!" said Rei like it was absolutely ridiculous to doubt her.

"The thing is she hardly ever does her homework."

"I can see that!" laughed Soeki.

"Mr. Hino I don't think you get the harm it can cause her later in her school year!"

"Oh well," said Soeki and Rei.

"I can see how you two are related." Rei glared at the evil teacher.

"Don't compare me to him!"

"Just leave." Rei and Soeki walked out of the classroom.

"Thanks, I guess," said Rei.

"Anything for my favorite cousin!" he said hugging her.

"Whatever!" she yelled pulling away from his grip.

XXX

"HIEI!" yelled Rei.

"What!" he yelled rushing into the house

"Spider!"

"That's it? You can fight demons but you're afraid of spiders!"

"Kill it!"

"NO!" A tick mark appeared on her forehead. She grabbed his collar and flung him out the window, luckily it was opened.

"Some boyfriend!" she yelled stomping up to her room. Hiei climbed back inside smirking.

"Some girlfriend."
