Chapter six

Whips of Wind

 

“When are they coming back”, Yusuke asked Kurama.

 

“In a few months. Genkai thought it would be better for Kaiya if she trained away from everyone and everything. So, they went into the mountains a few days ago.”

 

“Why didn't anyone tell me!”

 

“I just did”, Kurama said with a small laugh.

“Put some back into it. You're not using all of your strength”, Genkai shouted at the girl as she climbed up the mountain, for the twelve time that day. She wasn't allowed to use her demonic speed, or else she would have been done hours ago.

 

Kaiya couldn't hear her anymore, as a whip of wind slashed her face and hands. They were numb and bleeding. Most of the skin had been torn off on her knuckles and finger tips.

 

The snow kept on falling, and she could see the blood prints her hands left in it. She breathed in the heavy, suffocating air that was thick and cold. But, she didn't stop. She wouldn't allow herself to.

Hiei sat on the window seel of the room, looking out at the mountains. Yukina entered the room, and asked, “Hiei-kun, would you like something to eat?”

 

He looked at her and shook his head. She smiled at him, and then went to go make him some dinner.

 

The sunlight outside was beginning to fade away, as the sun retreated behind the mountain. He took off the bandana around his head and opened his jagan. He watched as Kaiya climbed up the mountain with blood trailing behind her. Genkai was at the bottom, wrapped up in a blanket with a fire in front of her. She was cooking something.

 

He looked back up at Kaiya and saw that she was smiling.

 

/Hi, Hiei./

 

/Hn./ He smiled slightly. She was too smart for her own good sometimes.

 

/I should be back in a few months. Is this the last time I'll talk to you like this?/

 

/Hn./

 

She smiled and he saw it.

 

/Talk to you later, Hiei./

 

He didn't even say bye, as he cut off the link and tied the bandana around his head again.

 

Yukina came back in a few minutes later and told him dinner was ready. He walked into the kitchen after her, and sat down for dinner.

 

XXXXXX

 

“I did this exercise with Yusuke, so you should be able to do it as well.”

 

“That idiot?”

 

“Yes. Hard to believe, I know. But he's very strong”, Genkai said as they both concentrated their aura's into one point.

 

Kaiya had her feet in the air and her left hand behind her back. She had her right index finger on the tip of a thick spike, just like Genkai.

 

“All right. We will stay like this for twelve hours.”

 

Kaiya sighed, but didn't argue.

 

XXXXXX

 

“Why I am doing this again?”

 

“You get too distracted. This will help you with that. Especially when you are in a lot of pain, and you have to continue fighting. This will train you to ignore the pain.”

 

“Fine.”

 

Kaiya sat down on the hot coals inside of the cave they had found, and tried to meditate. It was hard at first, with the smell of her clothes burning, and the searing pain that shot through her body was too much for her. But she would over come it, in time.

 

She jumped off, only to have Genkai push her back down.

 

“Try again.”

 

Sigh.

Two months had passed now, and Hiei was outside standing in a tree. He took off the bandana and opened his jagan, again. It had been awhile, but he wanted to see how she was doing. Strength wise.

 

He saw her fighting with Genkai. But her movements were faster, and she ignored him rather than talking to him. She knew he was there, but she didn't want to stop fighting.

 

She just smirked as she kicked Genkai to the ground. She spread out both arms behind her and then threw them forward, right at Genkai. A large amount of snow fell on top of her, and buried her.

 

Genkai's head popped out of the snow and Kaiya just shrugged her shoulders.

 

/Nice to hear your voice again/, Kaiya joked.

 

/Hn./

 

Genkai emerged from the snow with speed, and attacked Kaiya. Hiei was ignored for awhile after that, but he decided to just watch and see how she had progressed.

 

When they stopped, Genkai gave her a bow and one arrow.

 

“Go and get us some food.”

 

Kaiya nodded and then left to go find some in the woods.

 

Instead of her usual black clothes that had been burned a long time ago, she wore a simple white dress like cloak that hid her entire body. She put the hood over her face and hair, and went farther into the forest.

 

/So, what have you been doing while I've been gone? It must be boring to only have Kuwabara to pick on, since you can't even have an intelligent argument with him./

 

Hiei smiled at that. It was too true.

 

/Nothing that concerns you, onna./

 

/Really? Hm, I do have a name you know? You have called me by it before. Don't degrade me now./

 

/Hn./

 

/I'll take that as a yes./

 

/Think what you want, onna./

 

He smirked, waiting for her reaction.

 

/How about a little bit of fun when I get back? Like maybe a race, or a good old fashioned sword fight?/

 

/It wouldn't be much of a challenge for me./

 

/We'll see about that./

 

He could see that she had stopped, and put the arrow in the bow. She pulled back and watched as the fox looked around curiously. It saw her, and ran the other way.

 

She let go, and the arrow went flying towards its target and pierced the skin of the creatures neck.

 

/At least you have aim./

 

/I have a lot more than just that./

 

She smirked, and then went to go get her dinner. She picked it up and pulled the arrow out. When she looked up, she stared into a pair of ice blue eyes.

 

It was a white tiger.

 

It was only a few feet away, and it looked beautiful with the snow falling around it. She didn't move, just stayed as still and as quiet as possible. She wasn't scared, she had just never seen a creature so beautiful this close up, and she wanted to savor it.

 

/Scared, onna?/

 

/No. Just enchanted./

 

He could see the creature, and it was beautiful, but it left soon after that. She was a bit disappointed, but didn't let it show.

 

It was quiet the rest of the way back to the camp fire, and the only thing that guided her was the moon light. It hadn't been that dark when she had first come out there, but she loved the dark. It was beautiful and dangerous all at the same time.

 

/I'll leave you than./

 

And with that, Hiei closed the jagan eye and covered it back up.

 

XXXXXX

 

“Only two more days, and they'll be back”, Yukina said with a smile. She was going to make a big feast, and everyone was coming.

 

Whether or not the others wanted to admit that they actually liked Kaiya, they were glad to know that her and Genkai were coming back.

 

XXXXXX

 

Genkai pulled down the hood on her blue cloak, and continued to walk down the mountain trail. It had taken them three days to find the place they had been staying at for the last few months, and they had just started on the trail a couple of days ago. So, they should be home by tomorrow night. Kaiya walked in silence behind her. Her white hood was pulled over her head as well.

 

She had changed a lot physically and mentally. Her muscles were firmer and slightly bigger, while her hair had grown and was down, seeing as her band had broken a few weeks ago. Her skin was even paler if possible, and she was thinner, but in a good way. She was fit, not anorexic. Her rekai powers had also increased, and she had discovered some new tricks with them also.

 

As for her mental state, she no longer felt guilty about Kin and the others. She still regretted the fact that she hadn't been there to help, but she knew that it wasn't her fault. She still missed them, but was happier than she had been a few months ago. She had found friends, and a home. She wasn't as quiet or as mean as she use to be. She was just.... feeling better, in all ways possible.

 

She still loved Kin and the others, and she always would, but she couldn't let their deaths consume her for the rest of her life. She had made a new one, and she was going to keep it.

“Master Genkai, Miss Kaiya”, Yukina said cheerfully as she hugged them both.

 

“Nice to see you, Yukina”, Kaiya said as she hugged her back.

 

Everyone looked at her like she was crazy. When she came into the room, she saw a few people that she had never met before.

 

“Hi, I'm Keiko and this is Shizuru.”

 

“Hi, I'm Kaiya.”

 

“So, your the chick my brother is scared shitless of. Nice to meet you”, Shizuru said as she shook her hand.

 

Kaiya just smiled and than was surprised to have someone slap her on the back.

 

“Tough training, huh”, Yusuke asked.

 

“Not really”, she said.

 

“Yeah right. I barely made it.”

 

Just then, Kuwabara came up and hid behind Yusuke.

 

“You chicken shit”, his sister said to him.

 

“I am not!”

 

While they started arguing, Kaiya looked around for Hiei, but didn't see him. She left her new friends, and walked outside.

 

She was distracted by the stars that shined brightly above her. The full moon was out that night, and it was beautiful.

 

“Did you want something, onna”, a voice came from on top of the roof.

 

Kaiya turned her head to see Hiei up there. He was looking up at the stars as well, and she jumped up there and sat beside him.

 

“I don't want anything from you”, she said back at him.

 

“Than what are you doing out here?”

 

“No reason.”

 

She hugged her knees closer to her chest as she pulled her hood off. It wasn't as cold down here, and it was nice to finally be able to take it off with out her hair getting in the way.

 

“You're annoying me, go away.”

 

“No, I think I like it out here. I don't want to leave.”

 

He looked at her with a blank face and just stared at her. She didn't pay any attention to him as he ran a finger over a scar on her neck. It was long, slim, and white. She looked at him, but he didn't remove his finger until he had traced it all the way.

 

“What happened?”

 

She looked away from him for a moment and then said, “It has to do with my father.”

 

He looked at her, expecting her to tell him more, but when she didn't he asked, “What about him?”

 

“Why would you want to know”, she asked icily. She didn't mean for it to sound so cold, but she had never told anyone about her past. Only Kin knew about it, and that was because...

 

He didn't say anything, and neither did she. They sat there in silence for a few more minutes before Yusuke came outside and called them down for dinner.

 

Hiei hopped down, but she stayed.

 

“You coming”, Yusuke asked.

 

“Leave her alone”, Hiei told him.

 

Yusuke shrugged his shoulders and then went inside with Hiei. Kaiya let out a sigh and then laid down on her back to look up at the stars. She went in a few minutes later, and sat next to Keiko and a bubbly blue haired girl.

 

“Hi, I'm Botan”, she said.

 

“I'm Kaiya”, she said a little sadly.

 

“Did Hiei do something to you”, she asked.

 

Kaiya looked over at Hiei, who was across the table from her. This girl was so loud, that she had gotten everyone to look at her and Kaiya. Everyone looked at her, waiting for an answer.

 

She looked down at her empty plate and then set her hands on the table.

 

“I'm sorry, Yukina, but I'm not hungry.”

 

She got up from the table and walked back outside. Everyone looked over at Hiei, and Kuwabara asked, “What did you do to her shorty? You didn't try to put the moves on her, did ya?”

 

“Hn.”

 

“Maybe you should go apologize to her, Hiei”, Kurama said.

 

Hiei looked at him, and everyone at the table glared at him. Yukina was in the other room getting ready to bring the food in.

 

“Damn you, fools”, he said as he got up from the table and went to go find Kaiya.

 

XXXXXX

 

He wasn't going to apologize to her. He didn't do anything wrong! She was just acting like... like a woman!

 

“I am a woman”, her voice answered defensively.

 

He looked up in a tree nearby and jumped up there with her.

 

“How did you-”

 

“I'm can't read minds. You were muttering to yourself.”

 

'Oh, I didn't know that.'

 

“Go back inside. Everyone is worried about you, and they're pissed at me cause they think I did something to you”, he said calmly.

 

“I don't want to go back inside”, she said stubbornly.

 

“Just go, before I make you.”

 

“You only want me to because everyone's mad at you. Since when do you care what people think of you”, she said hotly as she jumped to the next tree.

 

“Just leave me alone for awhile. It shouldn't be hard for you”, she said as her eyes narrowed.

 

She began jumping from tree to tree.

 

'She sure has gotten faster', he thought to himself as he followed her.

 

“Stubborn woman”, he said under his breathe as he chased her.

 

She looked back at him, and could have sworn that he saw a smirk on her face.

 

'She's toying with me!'

 

He sped up and caught her. They fell out of the tree and he grabbed her by her shoulders and threw her up against the tree trunk before they hit the ground.

 

“Why are you playing with me”, he asked angrily, even though his voice sounded the same. His face held nothing but blankness, and he didn't even seem mad.

 

She looked at him coldly and said, “I'm not playing. I just want to be left alone, that's all. You hardly ever speak to anyone, unless you want to insult them. So, why are you so interested in my past? Are you going to make fun of me for it later?”

 

Her anger was strong, but she felt more remorse than anything else. She was just trying to cover it up.

 

“I-”, he was cut off as a knife was thrown at her head. Hiei caught it and threw it on the ground. He looked towards the small patch of trees beside them and let go of her as a tall figure emerged.

 

“K-kin?”

 

The man with long silver hair and crimson eyes looked up at her with a twisted grin, “Yes. My dear Kaiya, I've come to take you away.”

Well, what do you think? Please tell me! This is by far my favorite chapter and I really would like to know if you liked it, hated it, or what? Just tell me and uh... I'll be your best friend.

 

Later,
