A Yu Yu Hakusho Story #10

The next day at school, Yusuke and the gang were in class watching an educational movie.1

"Pssst," Yusuke whispered to Kurama.2

"What?" Kurama whispered.3

"Are we all going to train tonight in the woods?"4

"I'll ask Hiei...Psst, Hiei."5

"What?" Hiei said in a whisper.6

"You training with us?"7

"Yeah, sure, whatever."8

"Psssst, Samana."9

"What?" Samana said in a whisper.10

"Are you going to train with us?"11

"Sure, I'll be there."12

"Is there something you four would like to share with the class?" Mrs. Yayashi said to Yusuke and the others in a very annoyed tone.13

"No ma'am," The four said in unison.14

"Then watch the movie, you all can have your discussion after class, in detention."15

"But, Mrs. Yayashi, I can't have detention!" Samana said in a very worried voice, "Please reconsider."16

"Fine, but if I hear one more peep out of your mouths, then it's detention for all of you."17

~~~~~~~~~18

At lunch Yusuke and the gang sat at their usual table.19

"So training on for this afternoon in the forest?" Yusuke asked Samana, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama. They all nodded.20

"Yusuke!" Keiko said in annoyed tone.21

"What?" Yusuke said in a somewhat worried voice.22

"You're not training for the dark tournament again are you?"23

"Well yeah, I---"24

"YUSUKE URAMESHI! You nearly got KILLED in the last tournament, I won't let that happen again!"25

"Keiko, he has to," Samana said calmly.26

"No he doesn't!"27

"Keiko, the only reason Yusuke is alive right now is because he agreed to this job. So no job equals no life."28

" Well, *sigh* then I guess I'll just have to root you on and hope you all don't get killed."29

"Excuse me," a girl with an angelic voice said. Everyone looked up at her, "Umm, I was wondering if I could talk to you Kurama."30

"Yeah, sure," Kurama said standing up and walking away with the girl to a separate table, "What is it you need?"31

"Well, I was wondering, since there is a school dance soon. I um..."32

"Yes?"33

"Well, would you go with me?"34

"I sorta need your name before I can answer that."35

"Oh, right. My name is Kaioae."36

"Well, Kaioae, I will have to get back to you about the dance, I have a pretty busy schedule."37

"Okay, just let me know when you figure it out." Kaioae got up and walked over to her friends, and Kurama walked back to the table. In a matter of seconds, the group of girls Kaioae just walked over to all started screeching and jumping around.38

"What the Hell?" Yusuke said staring at the screeching girls.39

"Don't ask," Kurama said with a satisfactory smile on his face.40

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~41

That afternoon in the forest, Yusuke was fighting with Kuwabara, Hiei was fighting with Kurama, and Samana was meditating near a tree and watching the fight every so often...After a few hours, Yusuke and Kuwabara sat down next to Samana to relax for a while and watch Kurama and Hiei fight.42

"I bet shorty loses," Kuwabara said with a cocky smirk on his face.43

"I doubt that," Samana said in an annoyed tone.44

"Well, I doubt Kurama will lose."45

"You're both wrong," Yusuke said, "They are just training, so there will be no victor."46

"I was just about to say that," Samana said.47

"Suuuure," Kuwabara said.48

*WHAP49

Samana smacked Kuwabara upside the head.50

"Don't pick fights you can't win," Samana said rather annoyed.51

"What's that spose to mean!?" Kuwabara said standing up and glaring at Samana.52

"For one thing, you're tired from fighting while I'm still perfectly energized. For another, I am much stronger than you to begin with."53

"WHY I OUTTA---"54

"Shut up, Kuwabara, you know that's true," Yusuke said keeping his eyes glued to Hiei and Kurama's fight.55

"Whatever." Kuwabara plopped on the ground. A few hours later, Kurama and Hiei stopped fighting and sat down with Yusuke, Samana, and Kuwabara.56

"So, how was training?" Samana asked Hiei and Kurama.57

"Very tiring," Kurama said.58

"Feh, I can still fight, but you wanted to take a break. Breaks are for wimps," Hiei said sounding a little annoyed.59

"Okay, that's great!" Samana said all excited as she stood up.60

"What are you doing?"61

"You can still fight, and I have yet to train."62

"I'm not going to fight you."63

"And why not?!"64

"Because---"65

"Because I'm a girl!?"66

"No, I don't want to hurt you."67

"Try me, I'll put up a good fight."68

"Fine." Hiei and Samana walked out into the field where Kurama and Hiei were just training. The others stared in bewilderment as they watched Hiei accept Samana's challenge.69

"Since when does he have an honor code?" Kuwabara whispered to Yusuke.70

"He doesn't, Samana is his girlfriend remember?" Yusuke whispered. Kuwabara nodded and watched Samana and Hiei fight.71

~~~~~~~~~~~72

Hiei and Samana fight across the field. Every so often Hiei would disappear only to be hit by Samana's punch to the stomach.73

"Don't hold back Hiei, I know you are," Samana said while throwing a punch.74

"How could you tell?" Hiei asked blocking the punch.75

"You're much faster and stronger than this."76

"Fine have it your way," Hiei said as he made a really swift kick to Samana's stomach. Samana dropped to her knees holding her stomach, then she fell to all fours. Hiei looked at Samana in worry...Samana lifted her head and tripped him with her leg and stood up in a fighting stance.77

"What the Hell!?" Hiei said standing up.78

"Never let your guard down."79

"Don't tell me how to fight!"80

"If we were in a real fight, you could be dead by---" Hiei punched Samana in the ribs. Samana clutched her stomach in shock.81

"Never let your guard down." Hiei said cockily and smirking. Samana's eyes slowly change from calm and nice to cold and angry. Hiei looked back82

"If that's the way you want it fine."83

Samana ran from Hiei. Hiei chased after her, but Samana expected him to follow and turned around and kicked him in the ribs making Hiei fly through a couple trees. Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara looked at Samana in total and complete shock.84

"What the Hell is her problem!?" Kuwabara yelled, "This is just training!"85

"And in order to get better, you must give it your all, even if it means hurting someone," Yusuke said flatly. Kuwabara stared at Yusuke as he watched the fight, then returned his attention to the fight that continued.86

Hiei fired a punch at Samana, but Samana blocked. Hiei jumped away from Samana.87

"Tired yet?" Samana said in a cocky voice.88

"You wish," Hiei said with a smirk. A dark flame formed around Hiei's hand. Samana looked at Hiei in shock. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama stared in utter shock at Hiei.89

"IS HE TRYING TO KILL HER!?" Yusuke yelled standing up.90

"THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE JUST TRAINING!" Kuwabara yelled standing up.91

"Hiei does appear to be getting a little desperate, but honestly, he doesn't have to go to extremes!" Kurama yelled standing up, "HIEI DON'T DO IT SHE'LL DIE! SAMANA RUN!" Hiei's cold eyes stared at Samana. Samana stared back with an evil stare, "SAMANA! RUN!" Kurama continued.92

"Not a chance!" Samana yelled to Kurama.93

"YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BE SERIOUS!"94

"You people just don't get it, this is what I've been waiting for!"95

*Samana thinks "This is perfect. If my life is endangered, maybe I can awaken my powers. It is a long shot, but it is something I must do."96

Hiei had a dark flame in his hand.97

"FIST OF THE MORTAL FLAME!" Hiei yelled as he punched Samana with his fist that was engulfed in a dark flame. Hiei hit Samana, and she went soaring through many trees. When Samana didn't return, Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara assumed she was dead or unconscious somewhere.98

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT HIEI!" Yusuke yelled at Hiei when he ran over to where he hit Samana. Kurama walked up directly in front of Hiei, he was so close that Hiei had to look directly up just to see his face.99

"You know Samana could be dead, all because you didn't want to admit defeat during training," Kurama said in a deathly calm and eerie voice.100

"I don't care," Hiei said in a huff as he walked away.101

"Kidding yourself will get you nowhere Hiei," Kurama said in the same eerie tone.102

"Does it look like I'm kid---" Hiei was interrupted by a huge blast of extremely bright light. The light engulfed them all, and everyone closed their eyes trying to escape the brightness of the light. When the light faded, it was as thought they were standing on the only spot of grass in a vast ash desert.103

"It looks like we have company," Yusuke said in a low voice.104

*walking sounds105

Everyone directed their attention toward the sound...It was Samana.106

"Samana!" Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara said in unison.107

"Samana, I thought you were dead for sure," Kuwabara said in a happy, yet surprised voice.108

"Kuwabara, don't go near her," Hiei said in a cold voice, stopping Kuwabara from getting close to Samana.109

"Why?"110

"Look at her eyes, you numbskull." Kuwabara looked at Samana's eyes. Her eyes were bright, as bright as the blast that engulfed them earlier. They had no emotion in them at all, as if she were possessed.111

"What the---" Kuwabara began, but was interrupted when a bright light hit him out of the way making him land flat on the ground. When he stood up, Samana was walking slowly to Hiei. Hiei was lifted off the ground up to Samana's eye level. Samana stared at Hiei with no emotion, and a brightness(light) in her eyes that was brighter than the sun. Hiei was thrown to the ground. They all stared at Samana wondering what she would do next, but then, in a blink of an eye, she was gone.112
