Chapter five

Did you know that...?

 

When she returned back to Genkai's, she went straight outside, and started to train herself. She use to always work out when ever she was upset or mad; it just seemed to help. But, this time it was different.

 

She started running, and was surprised at how out fast she could go without even breaking a sweat. She ran for miles through the woods, and finally over a mountain.

 

It was peaceful, and she enjoyed it. But, her thoughts kept on replaying what had happened earlier with her mother.

 

No matter how many times she told herself to be calm, she never could be. So, she started to run again.

 

Faster and faster she ran, as her thoughts consumed her. A small trail of fire was all she left behind, which quickly burned out.

 

She kept on running, until she came upon the same pond. She stopped, and looked at her reflection in the water, and than sat down.

 

She plucked a flower from beside her, and stared at it. She couldn't keep herself busy anymore, as she thought about her past.

 

It turned to ice in her hand.

 

She threw it at a nearby tree, and it lodged itself in the trunk. She got up and looked at it curiously, forgetting about her troubles.

 

'What in the hell did I do to it', she asked herself.

 

She pulled it out of the trunk, and looked at it. The end was sharp, as well as the tip. She smiled to herself, and than looked for other things to do the same with.

 

She found a few sticks, and proceeded to do the same with them. She than tried to do it with nothing, and was surprised when it actually worked. She held a small dagger of ice, and than threw it at the same tree.

 

She stayed out all night that night, not coming back until early the next morning. Hiei coming in after her.

 

He had stayed out all day with her, after seeing the grim expression on her face when she came back from her house. He didn't like to see her this way.

 

When she came in, she flopped down on her bed, and fell asleep almost instantly. Hiei lurked in the dark corner of her room, not leaving until he knew she was fast asleep.

The next morning, she woke with a start as her stomach made a deep, low growl. The noise startled her so bad that she fell out of bed.

 

'Damn, I hungry.'

 

She made her way into the kitchen, and pulled out a bowl, and got herself some cereal. She than looked around the room, and noticed that no one was there.

 

'Where is everyone?'

 

She got up, and walked into the living room, with her bowl of cereal in one hand, and her spoon in the other.

 

She noticed Hiei in the corner of the room, standing with his head down, and his arms crossed over his chest. She walked closer to him, and saw that his eyes were closed, and he was... snoring?

 

'Why is he asleep? And standing up?'

 

She poked his chest.

 

Nothing.

 

“Hiei”, she whispered, while poking his chest again.

 

Nothing.

 

She tried again, but just as she was about to poke his chest, he grabbed her finger. His eyes were still closed as she yelped in surprise.

 

“What do you want onna”, he asked, eyes still not opening.

 

“Why don't you go lie down”, she said, pulling her finger out of his grasp.

 

“I don't need to.”

 

“Fine”, she said, as she made her way to the couch, and sat down. She turned on the T.V. and flipped through the channels. Hiei watched her, as he finally cracked his eyes open.

 

'She sure is strange', he thought to himself.

 

All was silent, as she watched some cartoon on T.V. When a comercial came on, she broke the silence.

 

“You snore by the way”, she said, not looking at him. Her eyes still fixed on the screen.

 

“What?”

 

“You snore”, she repeated.

 

“No I don't”, he said, a little embarrassed.

 

“OK, whatever you say”, she said as she walked into the kitchen and washed her bowl. She than went back to her room, and got dressed.

 

She came out a few minutes later in a white shirt, and very short navy blue shorts.

 

Hiei's eyes widened, as he looked at her, and than snapped shut. He did not need to see that. That was the last thing he wanted, was to let his demon instincts to control him and...

 

“I'm going out for awhile. I should be back by dinner”, she said, as she walked out the door, and into the cool air.

 

She shivered, and than ran into the woods.

 

Yusuke and the others went to Genkai's that day, and stayed for dinner. When Arc came back, she smelled like sweat, and had dirt all over her.

 

She walked in, and went straight to the washroom, after getting many weird looks from everyone else.

 

“What does she do all day”, Yusuke asked.

 

“She actually trains, you dim wit”, Genkai said as she walked out of the living room.

 

“Hey, I don't need training. I'm just that good”, he said as he strutted across the room, and flexed his muscles.

 

A large pan hurtled towards his head, and hit in the back of the head. He fell over, flat on his face.

 

Everyone laughed.

 

“Ahh”, he sputtered out as he sat up and rubbed the back of his head.

 

“That hurt old woman”, he barked, still rubbing his head.

 

“You need more training”, she called out behind her, as she turned around and went back into the kitchen.

 

“Stupid old woman”, he muttered to himself.

 

Kuwabara was still laughing, the only one laughing.

 

“Shut up, Kuwabara”, he said in annoyance.

Arc continued to train, until she had to go back to school. She wasn't exactly thrilled about going back, but she didn't have much of a choice.

 

They all sat in their normal seats in the back of the class room that morning, and than class started, as usual. Everything was the same, except for when the door opened, and in walked an estranged girl.

 

She had shoulder length black hair, with wide violet eyes. She was beautiful, but in a mysterious way. She had a certain kind of sparkle to her eyes, as she sat down next to Arc.

 

The others soon became weary of her. They didn't like the looks of her.

 

Arc found herself strangely... attracted to her.(No, Arc is not gay. She just thinks that the girl is interesting, and thinks that she knows her from somewhere. So, of course she's gonna look at her.) She couldn't quite place it, but she felt as if she knew her from somewhere.

 

The girl turned to her, and smiled.

 

“Hi. My name's Rika. What's yours”, she asked, while smiling pleasantly.

 

'She seems nice. I wonder why everyone's looking at her as if she's about to kill somebody.'

 

“I'm Archer. But, my friends call me Arc.”

 

“It must be nice to have friends. I haven't made any yet”, she said a little sadly.

 

“Don't worry. I'll be your friend if you want”, she said, taking an immediate liking to the girl.

 

“Really”, she asked, her eyes brightening up.

 

“Of course. I don't say things that I don't mean.”

 

They both smiled, and Arc introduced her to Keiko. Everyone else watched her. Just something about her didn't seem... right?

 

None of them could place it, but they didn't like this Rika girl. Not al all.
