Hiei's Human Lover Part 2: Hiei's Thoughts on his New Teammate
After Rin checked out her new room, she proceeded to head to the videogame system in the living room to try out a new fighting game that came out. It's a fighting game that uses a device on the top of the TV to capture your movements, so no remote control was needed.
"And...fight!"
I watched carefully as Rin began playing the game. Since she had set it to the highest level, she had to work especially hard to win. Kurama walked in and smiled when he saw Rin playing the game.
"I was wondering where that Spirit Energy was coming from."
"Hn. She had it set to the highest level, so she's working harder.
"Winner: Player 1!"
Rin turned off the game and smiled as she looked at us.
"And that, boys, is the reason why you don't want to pick a fight with me. In real life or videogames, I'm practically untouchable."
"Hn, that remains to be seen."
She narrowed her eyes playfully and crossed her arms.
"Is Hiei challenging me to a fight?"
I smirked and stood up.
"All depends on if you're willing to risk your life in a battle with me."
"If I plan on fighting with you guys on missions, I'll have to train with the people I'm fighting with."
"Good enough for me."
"Not so fast, Shorty. We've been invited to Genkai's, so your little fight will have to wait."
Rin looked at Yusuke, who nodded while heading for the door.
"Genkai's my old teacher. When we told her about you, she said she was interested in meeting you."
"She is, huh?"
"Yep. She's expecting us, so let's get going."
After taking the train in Human World to where Genkai lived, Rin looked at me with a smile on her face.
"Hn, what are you looking at?"
"You of course. If my sister, who doesn't know I'm her brother, was up there, I'd be a bit nervous."
I glared at her and pinned her to a tree.
"Who told you about Yukina?"
"Koenma, of course. I talked with him not too long ago, and he brought her name up in case I ran into her."
I let go of her and she smiled that same smile as if nothing just happened.
"I don't see what the big deal is. She deserves to know her brother is still alive, so why don't you tell her?"
"Just drop it, Rin. My patience on the matter is growing thin."
Rin backed away slightly, but her smile never disappeared.
"All I'm saying is, Hiei, is that you grew up without a real family, and all Yukina has is her long-lost brother. She can be that family you always wanted, but eventually she'll leave if she feels her search would be for nothing."
Seeing as how everyone else had begun to walk up the stairs, I was stuck walking with Rin. From the corner of my eye I noticed she would glance at me occasionally, then look away. The last thing I was expecting from her was silence, which at this point was pleasing for me.
"It's a complicated matter, Rin, one I'm not too fond of discussing."
"I respect that. Just know you can trust me with anything."
"Hn."
I smirked when I saw her smile at me. When we reached Genkai's, everyone was socializing with each other. Yukina smiled at Rin and bowed.
"Genkai told me and Keiko all about you, Rin. I'm Yukina. It's nice to meet you."
"Hey, Yukina. Nice to meet you, too."
"Hello, Hiei."
I nodded at her then walked inside. Keiko went to join Yukina and Rin outside, and they began talking to each other as if they'd known each other forever. Yusuke smiled as we looked at them.
"Didn't take them long to like Rin. Seems like a pretty cool girl."
"Hn. She's tolerable, at least. Not as irritating as most human girls I've seen."
Genkai put out her cigarette and smirked.
"The fox was telling me, Hiei, you and Rin have a fight scheduled."
"That so?"
"Indeed. I'm curious to see if she can survive a battle with someone of your strength and level."
"If she knew any better, she wouldn't be fighting Hiei at all."
I looked at Kuwabara as he spoke up.
"Ordinarily, fool, I'd agree with you, but I am also curious about the girl's strength. She did say she wanted fighting experience before joining us on missions, so this will be her experience. Her survival is her only chance of proving her worth, and I plan on testing her myself."
That's a wrap for part 2. After taking Rin to Genkai's so she can meet Genkai, Yukina, and Keiko, Hiei talks with Genkai and Kuwabara about his upcoming battle with his new teammate. Part 3 will begin in Hiei's POV as the visit at Genkai's continues. Also in part 3, Genkai suggest having the battle at her place so she can see Rin's strength for herself. Stay tuned to see what happens
