OK, if you read my other story, Fire or Ice, than you should know that I will be gone for a few days, so this is the last chapter you will be getting for about five to six days. Sorry about that, but I haven't seen my family since Christmas, and I really miss them. So, I'll update two chapters by the time I get back. Please don't leave me, and review!

Chapter Four
Red Faced Hiei
Kaiya rested more peacefully that night once she got some food in her stomach, and felt more refreshed the next day, until she saw Hiei.
When she woke up, she scrambled out of bed and folded up the blankets and placed them on the pillows they had given her.
She walked into a room nearby and noticed that it was the kitchen.
'Damn, I was so close.'
She dug around in the fridge and pulled out some juice.
She didn't notice the spiky haired Goth sitting at the kitchen table. When she turned around, she almost dropped the box of juice.
“Hiei? What in the hell are you doing here?”
“I live here”, he answered her sarcastically.
She let go of her chest and proceeded to get a cup of juice.
'She's still pale, and so skinny', Hiei noted to himself.
“Get something to eat”, he said as he lowered his head again.
“I'm still not all that hungry”, she said with honesty.
Her stomach still hurt and she didn't feel like throwing up.
Hiei looked up at her as she sat down at the table.
'She's so weak. How can I get her to...'
Hiei smiled to himself.
“I don't see how you could have been the leader of one of the most notorious gangs in Makai. Your so weak, and you have to have other people tell you how to take care of yourself.”
She stared at him blankly before growling at him and getting up to get some food.
She got herself a bowl of cereal, after Hiei explained what it was, and ate every bit of it in front of him.
Right after she was done, a young green haired girl walked into the kitchen.
“Oh, hello. I'm Yukina”, she said with a small bow.
“Uh, Hi. I'm Kaiya”, she managed to say.
“I'm sorry that I was not up sooner to make you something to eat.”
“Oh, don't worry about it. I don't mind”, Kaiya told her.
“If you need anything just ask me”, she said with a bright smile.
“OK, thanks.”
'Woo, she's really nice.'
“Genkai is waiting for you by the pond for your training”, Hiei said.
“By the pond”, she asked. She didn't know where it was.
“I thought you were a water demon. Shouldn't you be able to sense it nearby?”
“Don't presume so much”, she smirked as she got up from the table.
Hiei didn't say anything as she walked out of the room and towards the pond outside.
Hiei was right about one thing, that she was a water demon but, she was also more than just that. She also had the element of darkness in her. Which is why she looked different from other water demons, who usually had blue or green hair. The only thing that gave away part of her heritage was her eyes. They were an eerie, greenish- blue that held the sea in them. Everything else was dark about her, just the way she liked it. She hated being a water demon, just because of the person she had inherited it from.
“You're not going to pass out on me, are you”, Genkai asked from high up on a rock by the pond.
'When did I make it out here', she thought to herself.
'Guess I wasn't paying attention', she mused to herself as she answered Genkai.
“Good. I would like to have some kind of challenge today.”
'Oh, this old woman is annoying.'
Genkai jumped down from the rock and faced her.
Kaiya attacked first, just like before and was just as slow but, today she had a little bit more energy. So, she decided to go easy on her at first.
“You getting tired yet”, the woman asked as she blocked another kick.
“Not even close.”
Their movements were too fast for the normal eye to catch but, for Hiei it was easy.
“Their slow”, he muttered to himself.
Genkai kicked Kaiya to the ground, who landed on her hands and knees. She wiped the blood from her bottom lip where she had bitten it, and than stood up. She placed her hand in front of her, and a black ray of energy flew out at Genkai, who didn't get out of the way in time.
She fell to the ground, and than picked herself up before saying,
“You actually hit me with something for once, and on our second day of training. That's very surprising but, I won't let myself be distracted again.”
“And what were you distracted by”, she asked.
“Yukina's cooking”, she answered as she struck forward.
They kept at it for awhile until Yukina called for dinner.
“We will continue this tomorrow. Same place but, at a different time. I want you here as soon as the sun rises.”
Kaiya didn't say anything as she made here way to the temple. She wasn't tired or anything, she just... felt something.
“I'll be there in a few minutes”, she said as she wandered off into the woods.
Genkai didn't say anything as she continued making her way up to the Temple, and Yukina's cooking.
Hiei began to follow her, not because he wanted to but, because he had too. Or, at least that's what he kept telling himself.
'Koenma told us to keep an eye on her.'
He stopped in the tree as she came to a halt in the middle of a clearing.
'That scent...
.... Who does it belong too....
.... it's very familiar...
...'
She came out of the thick branches of trees and found a water fall.
The defining roaring the water made as it crashed down on the rocks and water below shattered her mask, as she sat down on a rock nearby.
She use to hate the water, wouldn't go near it, all because of....
She stood up and removed her clothes, and her scimitars. She placed them on the rock and dove into the water. Just than, Hiei appeared in a tree close by. He didn't see her at first, just her clothes, which made him freak out.
'What is she doing?'
Hiei watched her for a few minutes as she just swam around. She didn't know that he was watching her, she was too busy with trying to figure out where that scent had come from.
'I'm not going to cry, not anymore.'
'What is she thinking about? Maybe, I should take a peek.'
Hiei took the band around his head off and opened his jagan.
/ 'I know that was Kin's scent. But, he's... '/
“Hiei, get out of my head now”, she screamed.
'What, how could she...'
He listened to her, and than covered it back up.
“Hiei, come down here.”
He really didn't want too but, he wasn't afraid of her. So, he jumped down and went to the edge of the water fall.
She stared daggers at him as he neared and than came to a stop.
“How did you know it was me”, he asked.
“I could sense you, and I already knew that you had a jagan. So, I just put two and two together.”
He didn't say anything as she kept staring at him with malice in her eyes.
“How long have you been watching me”, she asked.
“...”
She sighed and sunk deeper into the water.
“Who is Kin”, he asked with interest, even though he didn't show it.
“...”
Her head went all the way under, and Hiei could see tiny water bubbles floating to the surface.
'What is she doing now?'
She began to sink lower and lower as the air escaped her lungs and floated to the top of the water.
“Kaiya”, Hiei yelled her name in frustration.
She didn't come back up, didn't look up, she just kept on sinking.
“Damn woman”, Hiei muttered as he removed his shirt and threw it down with his sword and dove into the water. He grabbed her by her waist and brought her back up to the surface, with many complaints from her.
“Hiei, what the hell”, she asked as he tossed her down onto the ground.
He looked down at her and snarled.
“Foolish woman”, he barked at her, as he looked away.
“What the hell are you talking about? Why did you do that?”
“You were trying to kill yourself”, he yelled back at her.
'Not that I care or anything, but I'm not a coward who would just sit back and watch a woman drown. Even a stupid one at that', he thought as he crossed his arms, not looking at her.
“You idiot. I'm a water demon, or did you forget? I can breathe under water!”
Now he felt stupid.
'Idiot, idiot. I can't believe I forgot.'
“Hn”, he said.
She sighed loudly and than dropped her head. Her eyes fell on her chest, which was completely bare!
“Ahhhh, you pervert”, she screamed as she pushed him into the water.
'Oh my god! I can't believe I forgot!'
“ONNA”, he yelled at her as he jumped out of the water.
“Why in the hell-”, he stopped short when he saw her wrap her cloak around her.
He blushed and than turned around. (Awe, he's so cute when he blushes, and gets a confusing look on his face!)
“S-sorry”, he mumbled.
“It's all your fault anyway!”
“What”, he yelled back at her as he turned around and stared at her.
“You're the one who pulled me out of the water!”
“I thought you were killing yourself!”
“Well, you're an idiot for thinking that-”
She and Hiei were interrupted as Genkai threw a rock at each of them.
“Ow”, she said as she rubbed the back of her head.
She turned towards the old woman who had her hands rested behind her back, and a scowl on her face.
“Dinner is ready”, she said in a monotone voice, and than turned around and left.
“Damn woman”, she muttered as she gathered her things and made her way to the temple.
“You're one to talk”, Hiei said before he disappeared into a tree.
“Go to hell, Hiei”, she called after him.
He didn't pay any attention to her. She stopped and put her clothes back on, after she knew that Hiei was a good ways away from her, and than went back to the temple.
'Smells good', she thought as she entered the kitchen.
She was actually surprised to see Hiei at the table eating with three woman, and not complaining about it. She was sure that he would just take his food and leave.
“Thank you, Yukina”, she said as the ice maiden handed her a plate of food.
“Would you like some more rice, Hiei-kun”, Yukina asked.
Kaiya was surprised at how different he was when he was around Yukina and herself. He acted like he... respected her?
'Maybe he likes her', she thought, and than cringed.
'No way, she's too nice for him. Well, whatever it is, I'm not going to waste my time worrying about it.'
She dropped her thoughts about the two siblings, that she didn't know were related, and continued to eat.
