Tama: Chapter four! I'm hoping this chapter will be the best so far, but I'm not making any promises yet.

 

Nori: Good luck with that…

 

Tama: -glares then grins- DISCLAIMERRRRRRRR!

 

Nori: Today, I'll do it…by rapping! -grins- I am CRUNKWOLF!

 

Tama, Kurama, Hiei: -eyes widen in fear-

Nori: -thrusts a fist out of the water- CRUNKWOLF WILL NOT DIEEEEE!

 

Tama: …just read.

 

----------------------------------

 

Saya flopped down on her bed. She wanted to just cry. She didn't think she had ever been that sore in her life.

 

“Oh, yea, Saya, the next month will be easy for you,” she said sarcastically in her impression of Kurama. “Ugh, what bullshit.” She held her stomach. Her abs hurt so badly. All she had done that day was stamina, which meant tons and tons of crunches, pushups, squats, planks, and other various painful ways to increase your endurance. They had been at it for only four hours, but it felt like four years.

 

She was not looking forward to tomorrow. Well, that was a lie. She wasn't looking forward to the intense training, but doing it with Kurama made it slightly better. When she felt as though she had to give up, she wouldn't. For some reason, he made her keep going. She had told herself that she hated him for putting her through all of that, but in heart she knew that was a lie, too. She couldn't hate him. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't. She knew that he was only trying to help her. After all, he was the one trying to make it so that she didn't die when she just got within thirty feet of Daeva. No, she couldn't be mad at him.

 

But why couldn't she be mad at him? She got mad at a lot of people. Hell, she got mad at almost everyone. Why couldn't she get mad at him? Did she like him? No. She couldn't like him. That would cause way too many problems. At this rate, she was most likely going to die in the battle against Daeva. She needed to focus all her concentration on training, not fantasizing about her trainer.

 

But his eyes…

 

Just as she thought this, her door flew open. She sat up and noticed it was Ayano, trying to hide a grin and looking bothered by something. She walked in, shut the door, and ran over and jumped on Saya's bed.

 

“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…,” she started worriedly, but smiling a bit at the same time. Saya wondered if she had finally gone insane.

 

“Ayano? What is it? What's going on?” Saya asked. She was getting worried about her best friend. Ayano bit her lip and looked down. She looked back up at Saya.

 

“Um…ok…where should I begin…,” she wondered out loud. “Ok. Well, you know how Hiei and I were supposed to be training?” Saya nodded.

 

“Well…not much training went on at all…,” Ayano said slowly. Saya sighed.

 

“…who did you kill?” she asked. Ayano laughed.

 

“Heh, nobody. I meant…Hiei and I…got uh, a little distracted…” Saya gasped.

 

“Ayano…,” she started in disbelief.

 

“It started out innocent! We were fighting about how to summon my fire energy and before I knew it…he kissed me, and then, we were…on the ground….,” Ayano explained, wincing, afraid of Saya's reaction. Saya screamed.

 

“YOU DIDN'T!”

 

“…we did…”

 

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OH MY GOD! YOU SLEPT WITH HIEI!?!?!?”

 

“Holy shit, Say, shut up! Do you have to tell the entire temple!?!?” Ayano whispered harshly, but was interrupted by Saya tackling her to the ground in a hug.

 

“OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! MY BFF IS ALL GROWN UP!!!” Saya half screamed, half cried. She eventually loosened her grip on Ayano, sat back and just looked at her.

 

“Pssh…I can't believe you lost your virginity before me…,” she said sulking, then laughed. Ayano did the same.

 

“Ok, so I have to know…how was it?” Saya asked. Ayano just smiled. She was still processing the idea herself. She didn't really know what just happened, and she needed her best friend to help her understand the fact that she had indeed just had sex with a half fire half ice demon that she just met the day before.

 

The girls talked for an hour, until Kurama came to the door. The two instantly stopped and greeted Kurama.

 

“Just so you know, we will be eating dinner in ten minutes,” he said.

 

“Mk, thanks, we'll be out soon,” Saya said and smiled at the kitsune. He nodded, smiled and left.

 

“Ok, you definitely like him. I don't care what you say,” Ayano accused, grinning.

 

“What? I can't like him, Ay. You know that,” Saya said in her own defense.

 

“Yea, right, that's bull. You like him and you know it. He likes you too, so just go for it!”

 

“Haha, yea, go for it. Just like you did?” Saya teased. Ayano's jaw dropped and she grinned.

 

“Oh yea?” she tackled Saya to the ground and wrestled until she had Saya pinned. “Say you're sorry and that Ayano is the best person in the world and she so totally crunker than anyone.”

 

“…is crunker even a word?” Saya asked, puzzled. Ayano tightened her grip on Say, giving her a painful reminder of the fire goddess reincarnation sitting on top of her.

 

“Say i-it.”

 

“Alright… Ayano is the best person in the world and she so totally crunker than anyone. Now get off of me!” Ayano laughed and stood up. Saya did the same.

 

“Can we go eat now? I'm starved. I've been working out all day and I'm hungrier than I've been in my life. And you must be hungry too, after your eventful day…,” Saya grinned. Ayano growled.

 

“Just go to dinner,” she said.

 

------------------------------------------

 

Hiei didn't show up to dinner that night, much to Ayano's relief. She wanted to see him, but she knew it would be awkward, and she didn't want anyone to pick up on anything. The only person that she wanted to know about it was Saya, because she was her best friend. She hoped no one else would find out, especially not until she talked to Hiei about it.

 

During dinner, no one even brought up how their training went, which, again, Ayano was thankful for. Their discussion revolved around the lives of the spirit detectives. Saya and Ayano learned more about Kuwabara that night than they ever wanted to know…

 

After they ate, Yusuke suggested that they play DDR. Saya and Ayano immediately agreed; they did that all the time back home anyway. Kurama, Kuwabara, and Keiko also decided to play. Kurama and Keiko surprised everyone when they were able to beat Xepher (AN: don't own, sadly) on difficult with A's. Saya and Ayano stared at each other in shock. Ayano stood up and started a slow clap.

 

“Pssh, I see how it is,” Ayano said as she sat down sulking when no one joined her. Saya burst out laughing and soon, everyone, including Ayano joined in. They continued to alternate play DDR until eleven, when they decided to get some sleep because of the long day of training they would have tomorrow. Ayano and Saya said goodnight to everyone and went to their rooms.

 

At night, both girls lay awake in their beds just thinking. All of this was still so new to them, yet it was almost second nature. These people that they had just met were already like family to them. Ayano, for example, already felt a strong connection to Yukina. Even though they were complete opposites, she felt like Yukina was like her younger sister and she needed to protect her. Saya and Yusuke had also developed a similar bond. He was like the protective older brother she never had. If there was ever a question whether they should've come here or not, these new relationships told them they made the right choice.

 

Ayano tossed and turned for hours that night. Her body was exhausted, but her mind was restless and wide awake. She knew she would never be able to fall asleep unless she was able to talk to him. She thought about if for a minute, and then decided it was something she had to do. She got out of bed and looked at her clock. 1:27 AM.

 

'Well, if I go out the front door it will probably wake up everyone else,' she thought to herself. She looked around her room and decided that her best bet was the window. She grabbed a pair of sandals, opened up the window and crawled out, not bothering to shut it behind her.

 

------------------

 

Hiei sat up on one of the lower branches of a tall tree near Genkai's temple. He didn't want to sleep, and even if he did, he knew he couldn't. It had been bugging him all day, but he just couldn't get up the courage to go talk to her about what had happened. He was too afraid she would say she regretted it, or that she wouldn't talk to him at all. If that was the case, he didn't know what he would do.

 

`Ugh, here we go, just what I didn't want to happen. You see? This is why I never involve my emotions in anything. It only leads to worry, paranoia, and heartbreak,' he thought to himself. Just then, he heard footsteps beneath him. He looked down to see who it was, although in reality he already knew who it was.

 

Ayano looked around her. She knew he was here, she could sense it. If she kept going, she knew she was getting further away, but if she backed up she wasn't close enough. Then it dawned on her, and she looked straight up. Sure enough, there was Hiei, sitting on a tree branch, looking down at her with a soft smile on his face. He motioned for her to come up, and after some intense battles with a few different tree branches, Ayano finally got up there. She sat next to him on the branch, but for about five minutes, neither of them said a word. All was quiet, except for the occasional bird flying or wolf howling.

 

Eventually, Ayano decided to break the silence.

 

“So…what's up?” she asked, immediately regretting her statement. They had just had sex that morning, and all she could say to him was `what's up'? Pathetic.

 

Hiei just looked at her and smirked. He shook his head and laughed. Ayano laughed too. Somehow, they both knew what the other was thinking. Neither regretted what had taken place the last time they met, and both were glad they both felt that way.

 

Ayano shivered. Because she was in such a hurry to go talk to Hiei, she had neglected to grab a jacket. She silently cursed herself for being so stupid.

 

“You cold?” Hiei asked. She nodded. He took off his cloak and wrapped it around her shoulders. She leaned up against his chest and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

 

`Kami, this is so unlike me. What has this girl done to me? Does this mean I'm going to be nice to everyone now?' Hiei thought to himself. Thoughts of pain and misery aimed at Kuwabara brought a smile to his face. `Haha, nope.'
