[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

The arena was spinning in your vision, but you gritted your teeth and focused on Hiei who stood in a stance with his katana. He suddenly sheathed it, however, and turned around putting his hands in his pockets as he walked off saying, "This fight is over."
[Eye Fidget] "No, it's not over yet! I'm still alive damnit!" you hissed.
He looked over his shoulder, "Hn," and said nothing else before walking on. You clenched your teeth and the anger made your body spark crazily and your eyes bright with silver. Lightning cracked right where Hiei was about to step, and he turned around glaring. You managed a weak smirk and he faced you, "You worthless onna, I gave you a chance to stop so you wouldn't kill yourself, and you refuse to listen? What a nuisance you turned out to be, but fine, if you insist on dying then die you shall." He smirked now and appeared in seconds in front of you, and you jumped back blocking his katana. You had a very hard time blocking and keeping up, which made you wonder if hed been holding back. This thought annoyed you to no end, and so silver flashed in your eyes and lightning cracked the ground around you two whereas the gang took shelter under a roof and watched. Hiei only continued swinging as you blocked, trying desperately to lend a blow to him. You got him with a few bolts and he paused. He was twitching and you noticed you had worn him down to panting and so you smirked and quickly gathered an orb of electricity in your hands. Your feet dug into the soil from its weight, but suddenly the flashing of your eyes had gone wild with sparks and you gasped.

/No, don't lose control... don't lose control/, you mumbled over and over as the giant orb was sent flying to Hiei. He looked up seeing it coming, but his eyes widened knowing there was no escape. You were still clutching your head when his blood curdling screams snapped you out of it. You fell to your knees sighing in relief, but the sparking continued in your eyes and you let out a loud scream, which to everyone else sounded like a screech. A barrier lifted around you as well as chunks of dirt that were now spiraling, and tears fell from your eyes as you continued screaming, but then saw him. Hiei had recovered, though in immense pain, and was slowly coming threw the barrier. Your eyes widened but lost sight of him as he reappeared behind you and knocked you unconscious. The lightning, rain, and violent wind began to disperse and all at once the rock and barrier fell. Hiei pulled you over his right shoulder and with the left he used his katana for support as he walked toward the gang. He gave you to Yusukue and collapsed onto Kurama as they smiled and headed to the infirmary.

When you finally woke up you were in that white room again. You tried sitting up, but the pain brought you back down. Under the sheets your body was completely wrapped in gauze. You sighed, but suddenly you heard a groaning sound and looked over your shoulder to see Hiei in the bed nearby, bandaged even worse than you. You remembered everything from the battle and, grunting, you made your way next to him and muttered, "...Arigatou," and as you turned you noticed the gang in the doorway.
Kurama was the one to break the silence. "So you're finally awake!" he said smiling, and you nodded but doubled over in pain and had them help you back into the bed. "Just lie down and rest. That was an incredible fight you went through." And you had to admit he was right, so you let sleep overtake you again.
You woke later on and found you were now in your room lying in your bed with your wounds nearly healed. Feeling less pain you sighed and made your way to the bathroom limping. After unwinding the gauze you started a hot bath, and when it was ready you stripped and waded in. You lay there relaxing nearly at the point of sleep again, but stayed awake and washed the remaining blood. After rinsing, you wrap a towel around yourself and walk to the sink, brushing your fangs and drying and combing your frizzy hair and tail. Walking to the dresser you put on a pair of sweat pants and a loose top before sitting down and doing a few warm-ups. Stretching was murder, but you gritted your teeth and got up for push-ups. After finishing you splash water on your face and don't bother changing as you head downstairs to the common room.
As you came to the last step Yusukue and Kuwabara crowded you. "You sure are a tomboy, are you really a girl?" he asked.
[Anime Vein] "Yes," you said threw gritted teeth and pushed past them into the kitchen where Kurama was preparing breakfast. When he finished you helped set the table as everyone piled into the room and sat. You ate your fill, surprising everyone that you could eat so much, but you hadn't eaten in days. Afterwards Yusukue continued to taunt you and you only laughed at yourself and punched him, suddenly feeling a breath on you. You turned to meet the horrid face of Kuwabara and at the corner of his mouth you thought you spotted drool.
[Eye Fidget] "What the hell do you want?" you said with venom.
He cowered. "Um... actually I just think you're a cute tomboy." He waited for you to explode, but you just twitched, so it encouraged him. "Does this mean you'll go out with me?" he asked taking your hands, and several [Anime Veins] and [Anime Sweat Drops] appeared on your head.
"No. Hell no," you said and left putting your hands in your pockets.
"Where are you going?" Hiei asked, not looking away from the window.
"Out," you said not looking at him and shut the door behind you as you walked into the forest. You'd been walking aimlessly for a while when you came across a pair of kitsune kits. Squatting, they swished their tails at you and you smiled and shuffled with them for a while. It had been some time when you petted them and waved goodbye, but they only followed you. You turned and waved your index finger and turned, but still they followed. It happened again and again and the [Anime Vein] on your head got bigger. Finally you hissed and ran ahead, hearing them whine about their mother not long afterwards. Sighing, you sniffed out for the scent and grabbed them as you headed towards the smell. You arrived in a clearing with a vixen and you walked over and placed the kits next to her. She growled, but they explained everything and she licked them and rubbed her head against theirs before approaching you. She licked your hand and you scratched her ears, playing again with the kits before you knew you had to go on. They asked that you come back and play sometime and you waved without looking back.
