Chapter 24: Because you can't cry for yourself

"Onna, why am I doing this?" asked Hiei. He was wearing a toga with that Roman leaf crown around his head. He had the complete Roman look; his sword in his left hand, his left arm was extended out, a shield around his right arm, this right leg was on top of a lion, he even had the shoes!

"Because I have to paint a fighting scene and you're my boyfriend!" said Rei looking up from he canvas. She was also dressed up. She wore a red beret and a fake mustache.

"Okay, I get why he has to do it, but why do I have to be here?" yelled Yusuke from under his lion mask.

"Because I said."

"You bi-AH!" before he could finish his sentence Hiei crushed Yusuke's back with his foot. "What was that for?"

"You should watch what you say Detective." Rei started laughing causing Yusuke to pout and Hiei to grunt. Unknown to them two figures were watching them from afar.

"Come on Rei, I don't want to use Dekaiyajuu on you," said Shashu.

"How many more days?" asked Jiyuu.

"Two."

"She won't come on her own."

"I know."

"I know you know. I don't know if you believe it."

"Jiyuu."

"Yes?"

"Go die."

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"What's you're point?"

"No point. Just telling you my feelings."

"Well stop." A few moments of silent went by.

"I wuv you!"

"Shut up!"

Outside in the training area Kuwabara and Rei were fighting. Well it was more like Kuwabara was fighting, Rei was playing. She was doing these weird-dancing moves every time Kuwabara slashed at her with his spirit sword.

"It's weird," said Yusuke getting everyone's attention.

"What is?" asked Kurama.

"Koenma's been pushing us to train lately, I mean more than usual."

"Now that you mention it…hmm. I guess he is," said Rei. Kuwabara took advantage of this opportunity and punched her right in the jaw. Rei went flying across the training ground, eventually sliding to a halt. Realizing what he did, Kuwabara started to jump for joy.

"Yeah! I hit her! Wahoo! Go me! I actually didn't mean to hit her though…I mean, yeah, I rule!"

"Uh…Kuwabara I don't think that was a very good idea," said Yusuke. Kuwabara went pale when he remembered Rei's emotional problems.

"Crap."

"Break break
Break it down
" Rei appeared right in front of Kuwabara, looking straight into his eyes. Kuwabara went into a trance like state.

"In the corner with your boys you bet up five bucks
To get at the girl that just walked in but she thinks you suck
We didn't get all dressed up just for you to see
So quit spilling your drinks on me yeah

You know who you are
High fivin, talkin shit, but you're going home alone arentcha
?" Rei kicked him in the head and he went flying. He made no attempt to brace himself.

"Cause I'm not here for your entertainment
No
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
It's just you and your hand

I'm not here for your entertainment
No no no
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
Just take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
"

"What did you do?" asked Yusuke looking at the lump on the ground. Rei didn't answer. "Rei?" still no answer. "REI!" Rei snapped her head up.

"Eh?"

"What. Did. You. Do?" Yusuke asked again.

"What. Are. You. Talking. About?" asked Rei.

"Kuwabara! You started to sing and Kuwabara went into a trance!" Rei looked over to Kuwabara and sweat dropped.

"Oops. Sorry Kuwabara. Uh, see sometimes my demonic powers take over…and…and stuff like this happens."

"You still haven't told us what you did to him."

"I'm getting there! I can put men under my control when I look into their eyes and sing. It's a cat thing."

"Can all cats do it?"

"Well…no…it just depends on their blood line…Kai can…uh…Kai's power is…"

"You don't even know?" asked Kai who somehow appeared next to Rei.

"AHH!" yelled Rei jumping in the air. "Don't do that! I do too! The same thing with me only with girls!"

"So you do have a brain."

"Hey, you were the one that copied off of me!"


Some time later…dun dun dun

Soooo…since Kurama has had no part whatsoever in this little scene, now is his time to shine!! PrEsEnTiNg….KURAMA'S BAKE-OFF!! And now, here is your host, the foxy (no pun intended) Kurama!! Woo Hoo!!

"Um…thanks for that….uh….dramatic…introduction…very nice. So today, I have chosen to create the most difficult dish I've never heard of! It goes by the name of SUPER AMAZING CATASTROPHIC EXPLOSIVE VOLCANIC ERUPTION GOOEY ICE CREAM PINEAPPLE COOKIE CAKE!!" mumbles "Who was the wise guy that made this one up…?" He looks over to Rei, who is waving excitedly like a little child.

"Yep…just as I thought…"

"Get on with this pointless waste of time!!" --Hiei

"Why, thank you for volunteering, Hiei. I would love to have you demonstrate how to make such a…unique dish with me."

"If you think that I will have any part in this little shenanigan…"

"Did I mention that the prize is A YEAR'S SUPPLY OF SWEET SNOW!"

"Damn it…"

"Now we shall finally begin the fun! First we look at the ingredients….hmm…we need a barrel of gunpowder, a monkey wrench, 47 paperclips, 2 pounds of cheese, extra extra spicy hot sauce, Kuwabara's dirty sock…? Um, Rei, this wouldn't happen to be some old Halloween project of yours, would it?"

"Um….oh, I know what it is! A few nights ago I had this weird dream that Hiei left me for Botan and all these crazy things were in there!"

"Um….may I ask what the extra extra spicy hot sauce was for?"

"Yes."

"What was it for?"

"I dunno. I don't remember."

"Of course…" -- Hiei yet again

"Ok, so we've added our final ingredient (on the OTHER side of Rei's dream) and now we are waiting for it to finish baking. Now let's check up on Hiei…" After walking over to Hiei's section of the kitchen (there was a dividing line so Hiei couldn't sabotage Kurama's amazingness) we come to find a horrible sight. Rei was dressed up in a cheerleading outfit in attempt to encourage Hiei and "help" him out.

"Yay Hiei! Go little fire dude! You can do it! Go fast go!"

"Shut up onna, I can't do anything once it's IN THE OVEN!!"

"Hurry up! You're falling way behind Kurama!!"

"Onna…" growls Hiei.

"USE YOUR KUNG FU FIRE POWERS!!"

"Just as soon as you grow gills and swim like a fish"

"OKAY!!" She runs off to go evolve.

"So Hiei, how is it coming" -- Kurama this time.

glare

"Um Hiei…did you happen to add that ultra super special secret ingredient that's crucial to all life on this planet?"

"Which is…?" BOOM!!!! EXPLODE!!! CRASH!!! AYE CARUMBA!!!

"Is that a no…?"

"I suppose so, seeing as that the WHOLE KITCHEN IS NOW IN RUIN!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS EARLIER?!"

"You're the one who didn't read the ingredients…"

"IT'S THAT BAKA KUWABARA'S FAULT FOR DREAMING THIS UP IN THE FIRST PLACE!!"

"Wha…?"

Kuwabara wakes up with a start. It's late…very, very late. .

"Whoa, what a nightmare! Hiei was actually cooking….and blew up the kitchen!! This is even stranger than Rei's dream…"

"My what?" Rei pops into the room suddenly standing behind Kuwabara's bed.

"Wah! When did you get there??"

"Just now."

"Oh."

"Yep."

"That's nice."

"Yep again."

"…."

"…."

"What's that on your face?"  Kuwabara's turn. Yoy.

"What, these?" She points to the sides of her face.

"Yeah, they kinda look like…"

"Gills? Hehehehehe….."

sweat drop

(Courtesy of SpirittigerRei's retarded friend…mmmm….cheese bread…oh yeah, me name be Kleros, mateys. Argh…StR is back!! )


"AH!" yelled Kuwabara shooting straight up bonking Rei on the forehead.

"Ow! That hurt Kuwabara," wined Rei rubbing her forehead. "I guess I deserved that."

"What happen?" groaned Kuwabara. Rei launched onto Kuwabara, crying.

"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I didn't mean to put you in a trance!"

"So it was just a dream? All right!"

"Dream?"

"Yeah! Kurama was there, and Hiei, you were there-"

"Me to?" asked Yusuke.

"No, but Rei was." Hiei growled. He didn't like the fact that someone was dream about his girlfriend. Kuwabara caught it, as long as everyone else. "Don't get the wrong idea, Hiei! I love Yukina!" Hiei growled again. This confused Kuwabara along with Rei.

'Why does Hiei always get so mad when Kuwabara mentions Yukina?' pondered Rei.

'You really are clueless, aren't you?' sighed Kyoto.

'Eh? What are you talking about…could it be…could Hiei be in love with Yukina! I can feel my world crashing down as we speak! NOOO-'

'That's not it. At least not the way no think.'

'Eh?'

'And you call yourself a tiger. Geez. Anybody with a sense of smell like yours can tell they have similar scents.'

'So that means…'

'That's right.'

'THEY'RE MATES!'

'THAT'S NOT RIGHT!'

'But you just said…'

'I thought you had it! They're related!'

"WHAT? That explains a lot!"

"What explains a lot?" asked Yusuke, a little frightened of her sudden outburst.

"Eh? Did I say that out loud?"

"Yeah."

"Oops…Hiei!"

"What?"

"Come here please," she said already dragging him into the house.

"It looks like I don't have a choice."


I found out this day, that we had more in common then we both thought.

"What do you want?" asked Hiei.

"Are you and Yukina related?" Hiei stiffened.

"Who told you?"

"So you are!"

"Who told you!"

"Not you that's for sure…my nose did." Hiei looked at her questionably. "You're scents are so similar you had to be related…plus Kyoto pointed it out."

"She's my younger sister. You're not mad I didn't tell you?" Rei shook her head.

"I understand."


"Why don't you just tell her!" yelled Soeki to his 14 year old cousin.

"I can't! I have to protect her!" yelled Rei with tears in her eyes.

"How is this protecting her?"

"If people find out that I'm her sister they'll hurt her and bully her!"

"How do you know they'll find out!"

"I don't want to take the chance."

"She's your sister."

"I know. That's why I'm doing this."


"So that little girl that came here on Christmas was you're sister?" asked Hiei.

"Yeah, Minako. We have the same mom different dads."

"Is she full human?"

"Yeah. My mom and dad met because of a mission my mom had. It was love at first sight she said. She told me about him every night."

"When'd he died?"

"When I was one." Rei's eyes grew cold. "His own kin killed him."

"For being with a human."

"For having a baby with one. My parents never officially got together. My mom was engaged to another man, Mina's father."

"Was he mean to you?"

"Stop reading my mind. I'll tell you everything. He made my mom happy and that's all that mattered. As long as I was around my mom nobody made fun of me or hurt me."

"So what happened?"

"The village I lived in got attack by an evil monster, killing everyone but Mina."

"And you."

"Right, and me." Hiei pulled Rei into an embrace and told her his story. At the end Rei was silently crying.

"Why are you crying, I don't need you're pity."

"It's not pity. I'm crying because you can't cry for yourself." The ground suddenly started to shake. Everyone ran into the living room to meet up.

"What's happening?" yelled Botan over the sound of stuff crashing into the ground.

"Is it an earthquake?" asked Yukina.

"I don't think so," said Kurama.

"Guys, I sense a powerful enemy coming!" yelled Kuwabara.

"Yukina, Botan, go take cover! We'll be back," ordered Yusuke.

"Okay!" the girls said running off.

"Lets go!" said Yusuke. Everyone ran outside to find a giant demon coming towards them. The demon was brown with two horns coming out of his temples and two glowing red eyes. Spikes ran down it's back and down it's tail. On his right shoulder was a tattoo of a sun that looked just like the one on Fang's forehead. Also on his right should was a man, a man we know, a man named Shashu. The beast stopped a couple of yards away from the team.

'Dekaiyajuu!' thought Rei in fear.

'What is Akihiko thinking?' yelled Kyoto.

"It's a rock ogre!" yelled Hiei.

"Who is that other guy? I didn't even sense him!" yelled Kurama.

"My name is Shashu, I have come for something very precious to my master!" said the uninvited guest.

"And that is?" asked Kuwabara.

"Me," said Rei. Everyone looked at her in shock. "If I told Jiyuu no, then what makes you think I'll come with you?"

"You wont have a choice."

"You can't have her but you can have this! SPIRIT GUN!" yelled Yusuke. The blue energy shoots towards the ogre with great speed only to be reflected by a green barrier.

"Now, now that's not nice," said Jiyuu appearing right besides Shashu.

"Kuwabara!"

"Right!" Kuwabara runs right for the ogre with his spirit sword out. "Dimensional Sword!" The barrier that was around the enemy spilt in half and dissapeared.

"Aw, he broke my barrier," cried Jiyuu. He covered his eyes when a bright blue light blinded him. Another Spirit gun was launched and this one accualy hit. Dust flew every where. Everyone seemed at ease now, the demonic energy was gone. Well everyone 'cept Rei. Lighting surronded her, making her hair flip out. When the lighting dissapared her hair was blonde and her tattoos were showing. This was her powered up form. As the dirt thined, Rei took out her swords.

"Get ready," she said.
