Chapter 4

`I'm impressed.' Though Lava's thoughts lingered slightly, she didn't slow her pace through the forest. `I'm surprise that he hasn't given up, but then again we're a stubborn race.' Feeling a gentle nudge at her mental barriers, Lava turned her head and gave him a sly smile. In turn, he just smirked.

Once more, she felt a nudge on her mind, only now it was more demanding. She dropped most of her mental barriers, allowing him to enter her thoughts. “You are faster than you look,” Hiei praised.

“As are you and determined.”

“I grow tried of this little game,” Hiei stated with an amused growl. “Allow me to finish it.” True to his words, Hiei sped up, so that he was running beside her. Hiei smirked, before grabbing hold of her arm and threw her from the trees. Making sure that his grip was gentle, yet firm; he manipulated their landing so that Lava was beneath him.

“And oh so gentle too.” Lava had thought that landing would have at the least knock the wind out of her, but it hadn't. In fact, she felt Hiei's arm around her, not allowing her to hit the ground with force.

Smirking still, his ruby eyes looked into silver as he smashed his lips into hers.

Smirking against his lips, she felt his tongue dart out, silently asking to for entries. She complied and a silent war for dominance began.

“So what do you think Hiei did after he left?” Yusuke started as he led the way up Genkai's shrine steps.

“I have a few ideas…” Kurama trailed off, not sure how Hiei would liked being talked about. “But I can't say for certain.”

“Well, then why did he go attack her like that? He could have hurt her, or worst, killed her!” Kuwabara went off, not entirely sure what to think of his teammate.

“I can assure you that Hiei did not hurt her in any way. I can also assure you that in his state, he's more likely to kill us than a female, and that goes for human females as well.” Kurama was hoping that they would be satisfied with that answer, but unfortunately that was the case. If anything, his words made the others even more curious. “Haven't you ever heard the saying, `curiosity killed the cat'?” Eyeing both his companions, he elaborated his words. “What I mean is that if Hiei figures out that we're digging into his personal life, we're as good as tortured, maimed, and left for dead. Now do you get what I'm saying?”

“Dimwit, you've been around demon this whole time and you still don't know what's happens to them every six months or so?” They had reached the top of the stairs. Genkai was waiting for them as usual, or at least on training days.

“Please, Master Genkai, I do not believe that Hiei would like his… condition being broadcast to everyone.” Kurama tried not to sound rude, but he didn't feel like being blamed by a temperamental demon that he allowed everything to come out.

“Zip it, pretty boy. It's about time these two morons learn about the demon cycles. Especially with them working with a full blooded demon.” Glaring at everyone, she motioned them to sit where they where at. “I believe that you will even learn something from this lesson.” She gave Kurama cocky look before continuing her lesson.

“Since Hiei is a fire demon, I'll us fire demon cycle as the example. First off, the males are the ones that go into heat; otherwise known as a reproductive cycle. What most don't know is that the males are the one to actually push the females into their own cycle.” She could tell by the look on the redhead's face that now she had his attention.

“Why the hell are you teaching us this, old lady!” Yusuke stuttered slightly, red tinting his cheeks.

“Because, moron, that's what's wrong with your half-pint friend! And I just couldn't help but over hear that you guys ran into another she-demon.” Genkai gave her pupil a blank stare that said `idiot' written on it.

“What, so now you're eavesdropping!” Yusuke was now on his feet.

“Fine. You've all got 40 laps around the grounds!” Genkai easily tossed the warm up exercise out.

“But the grounds are HUGES!” Kuwabara complained.

“Make it 50, slackers!” The old woman snapped. When she watched them slowly make their way to the starting point, she shouted. “They wont run themselves, so get moving!” Picking up a nearby rock, she tossed it at them. She couldn't help but smirk as the pebble smacked Yusuke in the back of the head. “That'll teach you to slack off, now get moving!” Watching two of the three boys start running, she looked at Kurama expectantly. “What? You need a rock to the head to get moving too?”

“That wont be necessary, but I was wondering if after practice if I could speak with you about the fire demon cycles? Information about them is hard to come by, even when a fire demon practically lives with you.” Kurama watched as the old woman debated with herself. When she finally answered, he listened intently.

“Fine. Now hurry up slacker!”

With a quick thank you, Kurama dashed off to catch up with the others.

Slowly, but surely, Lava began to enter the world of consciousness only to find her self in a strong, warm, and a protective embrace. When she tried to readjust her position she received a growl of annoyance and she felt the arms around tighten. “Don't move. You'll just make us fall.” The explanation had Lava's silver eyes looking around at her surroundings and sure enough, she was surrounded by tree branches and leafs.

“Why are we in a tree?” Lava questioned groggily, running a hand through her hair.

“Hn.” Hiei completely ignored the question, instead asking one of his own. “Do you wish to clean up now or wait tell later?” He nuzzled the crook of her neck and nipped at the sensitive skin, teasing.

“I think that perhaps I should bathe now.” She moaned out as she moved her head to the side so Hiei had better access. “Now, if you would be so kind, where are my clothes?” Gently, she shrugged off his advance and looked over her shoulder expectantly.

Hiei gave her a look of mocked annoyance. “I believe you look much better the way you are dressed now.” He felt Lava chuckle softly before she spoke.

“I bet you do, just like I prefer you beneath me, but as you can see I'm not getting what I want so I'm not going to allow you the pleasure of get what you want.” Cockiness filled her voice and was drenched in her words. “Do you have my clothes?”

Rolling his eyes, Hiei reached into his cloak and passed Lava her neatly folded clothes. Nuzzling his neck in thanks, she quickly slipped into her clothes, have little trouble though she had never dressed in a tree before. “Quiet with the smirking, it's not everyday that I dress in a tree.” Half-heartily, she glared at her lover.

“Hn. Come on. I'll show you where we can bathe.” Waiting till she standing, he took off in the direction the lake was in. Taking his time, they reached the sandy shores nearly 20 minutes after they'd left.

Lava stripped off her clothing and waded into the icy water. With a shiver, she raised the temperature of the water. Now satisfied with the temperature, she dove beneath the surface allowing the now warm water to soak her hair as well as cleanse her body of last night's events. Breaking through the surface, she found amused scarlet eyes watching her.

“Are you coming in or are you just going to watch?” Splashing water in his direction, she laughed as he gave her a mocked annoyed look. “Awe, did someone get wet?” She couldn't help but tease him as he sulked on the shoreline. “Fine, you can be that way if you want to, but I'm not going to let you ruin my swim!” Sticking her tongue out at him, she turned her back on him and dove under the water once more. When she resurfaced, she found that there was another pile of clothing and an extra katana leaning against a tree, next to her own blade.

Looking around, she saw no one though she knew that Hiei was somewhere. “Oh, come on Hiei. Where are you?” As soon as those words left her mouth, she gave a startled yelp as something wrapped around her ankle and pulled her beneath the surface of the water. Kicking her foot free, she resurfaced coughing on the water she had swallowed while she glared half-heartedly as Hiei, who'd just surfaced.

He merely smirked at his lover as she regained her composure. `Let the games begin…
