Tori frowned. Something wasn't right. Awhile ago, she had noticed Sira quietly slip out of the gym. She guessed Sira had wanted some air and would be back in a few minutes, so she hadn't followed her.

It was now thirty minutes later and she had seen no sign of her.

Kurama said something but due to the loud music, she couldn't hear him.

"What?" She asked.

He leaned towards her ear. "I said, are you okay?"

Tori shook her head. "I've just got a bad feeling that's all."

"Geez," Yusuke said as Keiko and he walked up to them. "They need to get better air conditioning for this place."

"Have you seen Sira recently?" Tori asked.

Keiko and Yusuke shook their heads. "Why?" Keiko asked. "Is something wrong?"

At this point, Kuwabara, Botan and Yukina walked over.

"Have you seen Sira?" Tori asked them.

They shook their heads as well.

"No, is she missing?" Kuwabara asked, his voice rising in alarm.

"I don't know," Tori said, "It's just… something's not right."


Sira groaned as she came to. Her head felt cloudy making it hard to form lucid thoughts. Plus, the fact that her entire body was aching wasn't helping her situation. Slowly, the previous hour came back to her. The dance, her talk with Hiei, her abduction...

Her eyes flew open as she sat up quickly. This probably wasn't the best idea since her head was roaring. Her eyes watered up slightly as well. After a few moments, the roaring died down, allowing her the chance to assess her situation.

She was suspended about ten feet in the air in what appeared to be a giant bird cage. Down below was what looked like a park surrounded by a large stone wall. In other words, it didn't look like she was escaping any time soon.

Her face turned bright red as her anger set in. "I can't believe this! I'm the damsel in distress again? What, am I just so pathetic that I get put in peril twice within a short time?" She kicked the side of the cage. "This sucks! I don't want to be a damsel in distress! Why can't someone else be it? Why can't I just be the ordinary girl who is oblivious to everything and is only really there for comedic relief?"

"Will you shut up?" Hiei yelled from below.

Surprised, Sira peered out from her cage. Sure enough, Hiei was standing beneath her glaring.

"Oh, Hiya Hiei!" Sira grinned as she waved. "Whatcha doing here?"

"How should I know," he said angrily, "One minute I'm sitting in a tree, the next, I wake up here to the sound of you acting like a blubbering idiot."

"I was not acting like a blubbering idiot," Sira said angrily as she crossed her arms. "I was acting… distressed."

"No, no, no," Floretine said as she materialized before them. She stamped her foot angrily. "You weren't supposed to come!" She pointed an accusing finger at Hiei as her wings fluttered in frustration. "It was only supposed to be the girl. You'll ruin everything!"

"You've got five seconds to send me back to the gym or I'll cut off those precious wings of yours," Hiei said as he pulled out his sword.

Florentine stuck her tongue out. "You don't scare me." She snapped her fingers and a loud rumbling emitted from the ground. Two giant plants shot up ten feet into the air. Large buds appeared at the ends. They split in half revealing a row of sharp white teeth. They let out a roar as they eyed Hiei hungrily.

Florentine let out a giggle. "At least, not when I have these guys around." She snapped her fingers again and they attacked Hiei.

While Hiei was busy fighting off the plants and Florentine was busy watching, Sira was freaking out.

"Holy Shit! Holy Shit!" she yelled. "They're freakin' mutated venus fly traps. They're like those stupid piranha plants from Mario. Oh god, we're going to die by being eaten by a plant. This sucks! I wanted to die when I was really old in my sleep. Not by a stupid plant. Hell, I eat plants not the other way around."

"Will you shut up?" Hiei yelled as he sliced off the head of one of the plants.

"Shutting up," Sira said softly as she stared wide-eyed at the twitching remains of the plant.

Hiei made quick work of the other, making Florentine mad once more.

"This is so unfair," Florentine whined. "You were supposed to die." She quickly took flight as she let out a giggle. "Never mind, I kill you myself." She sent a bolt of lightning flying towards Hiei. He quickly dodged it using his speed to rush towards Florentine. She quickly matched his speed and soon, they were moving so fast that they only looked like a blur.

Sira tried to watch them for a few minutes but gave up when her head started to hurt from straining her eyes. A bolt of lightning was sent towards her. With a yelp, she dropped to the ground just as the lightning sailed over her. "Watch we're you shooting," she yelled angrily.

A few more minutes past before Florentine and Hiei separated. They were panting heavily as they glared at each other. Florentine let out an inhuman shriek as she charged towards Hiei. Right as she was about to reach him, Hiei hurled his fist into her chest. As soon as it made contact, black fire erupted onto her chest.

Florentine let out a shriek as the flames began to spread. "No, it can't end like this!" With one last howl, she was engulfed by flames.

The ground shook once more as a bright light engulfed the entire area. All the sudden, Sira was falling. With a loud thunk, she hit the ground. Rubbing her sore rear, Sira found that Hiei and she were once more in front of the gym.

"Wow," she said, "You actually beat her."

Hiei was faced away from her, standing oddly still.

"Uh, earth to Hiei? Are you alright?" She asked as she approached him.

He still made no response.

"Okay, what's wrong?" She asked as she stepped in front of him. His eyes were slightly glazed as he swayed back and forth slightly.

Before she could react, Hiei leaned forward, his lips brushing hers. She froze up immediately, her brain shut down from the shock of Hiei's random action. A second later, it was over as Hiei slumped to the ground.

Feeling slowly came back to her as her mind tried to process what had just happened. It took her a few moments to realize that a strange sound was coming from the ground. Looking down, Sira found that Hiei was snoring.

Still dumbfounded, all she could do was stare at him.

"Sira!" Tori said as she and the others raced up to them. "Are you alright? We've been looking all over for you."

"Hiei's sleeping," Sira said dumbly.

Kuwabara and Yusuke starting laughing as Kurama checked him over.

"Well," Kurama said after a moment, "It seems that he expended all of his energy."

"Hah, he fell asleep again," Kuwabara howled as he doubled over.

"This is just like what happened at the Dark Tournament," Yusuke laughed, "Just better."

Keiko slapped Yusuke on the back of the head. "Yusuke, behave."

"Ow," Yusukse said as he rubbed his head.

"Do we need to help Mr. Hiei?" Yukina asked worriedly.

Botan shook her head. "No, it probably would be better to let him come to on his own."

Tori had been watching Sira from the corner of her eye. Her strange silence was starting to worry her. Without hesitation, Tori grabbed her hand and took her to the side.

"Okay," she said, "What's up?"

"N-nothing," Sira stammered.

"Something's up," Tori said, unconvinced, "You're acting way too weird…" Her eyes lit up, "Oh my god! He kissed you, didn't he?"

"I'm…not …sure," Sira said, "He kind of passed out when he did it so I'm not sure it was intentional." She smacked her forehead. "God, why did it have to be him? The first one was supposed to be special." Her eyes widened as she clapped her hands over her mouth.

Tori raised an eyebrow. "Wait, are you telling me you've never been kissed before?"

Sira winced. "Surprise?"

"But you said you made out with Trevor in ninth grade?"

Sira sighed. "Well I had to make up something! What was I supposed to say when you guys were talking about your escapades? That I was more of a virgin than the Virgin Mary?"

Tori smiled sympathetically, "You know I wouldn't have ostracized you just because you are romantically impaired."

"I used to think it was just the fates being cruel but no, it's true, I'm just romantically impaired." She slapped her forehead again. "Why did it have to be him?"

Tori was about to comfort her again when they heard the others raise their voices. Looking over, she noticed that Hiei was starting to come to. "Well," Tori said as she steered Sira back to the others, "The moment of truth. Does he remember?"

She could feel Sira shaking in her hold.

Hiei glanced up at Sira and glared. "Oh, you survived."

"How much do you remember?" Sira asked.

"I killed Florentine and then woke up here," Hiei said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Wait, you killed the butterfly?" Yusuke asked in disbelief.

Tori quickly glanced at Sira. She looked relatively calm over the fact that Hiei had no recollection of what happened.

"Hiei," Sira said in a calm voice, "You are a complete and total ass." She quickly turned around and walked away leaving everyone, excluding Tori, completely confused.

"What's up with her?" Yusuke asked.

Tori sighed. "It's a girl thing?"

"Oh," Kuwabara said, "You mean PMS?"

Tori nearly face vaulted. "No," She finally said, "it's not that. It's another girl thing."


Socrates let out a howl as he sent a bottle crashing into a wall. "How dare he?" He said, "How dare he taint my toy." A loud growl emitted from the darkness as a pair of yellow eyes watched him. A grin slowly spread across his face. "But he will pay. Yes, he will pay dearly." His laughter echoed off the stone walls.
