A Warm Compassion | A Hiei Love Story

Training

Hayami's POV

"HE TELL YOU TO WHAT?!!" Ranumi yelled, mostly in worry.

All of us, including Kurama are in the living room discussing about the stupid invitation that the younger Toguro told them. We were all sitting on the couch, discussing about our dilemma.

"I'm afraid so." Kurama said as father sighed and leaned back onto the couch.

"He told Yusuke that we only have two months of training before the tournament." Hiei said, "Might as well use our time for training."

"To think I thought our lives would be just fine after coming here to the human world, but a dark past has come again." Father said and looked at me in concern. "Hayami, I know you wanted to avoid this as much as possible, but I'm sure that Toguro would be expecting you to be there in the tournament after they left you for dead back in demon world."

"I know. Even if I don't want to do this, we don't have a choice but to accept." I said looking down. "I'm joining in this fight, if it means for our survival in that tournament."

They all nodded in understanding as we heard the doorbell ringing.

"I'll get it." Ranumi said as she walked over to the door. "Guys, we have visitors." She said as she walked back insides with Kuwabara behind her.

"Kuwabara, what brings you here tonight?" Father asked,

"I only came here to ask if you can train me for the tournament, Mr. Ezume." Kuwabara said, "Since you did train your daughter and I thought that maybe you could help me as well with Hiei and Kurama."

"Yes, I did train Hayami along with Genki's in order to control them, but to give you a reminder Kuwabara that she is half human and her powers are far more greater than yours." Father stated,

I know it sounded offensive, but father only said it because he doesn't want to severely hurt Kuwabara went it comes to training. Mostly because when training with him, going easy is his sign of prepare for brutality.

"I don't care. Whatever it's gonna take, I'll train as hard as I can." Kuwabara said,

"Are you sure, Kuwabara?" Ranumi asked,

"Hm, he might be killed before the training even starts." Hiei said, sitting next to me on the couch.

"Do you want me to fight you, shorty?!" Kuwabara shouted around him.

Hiei smirked, "Try me, you fool." He said, crossing his arms.

"Oh that's it!" Kuwabara said as he was about to walked up to him,

"If you two will fight, take it outside the house and Kuwabara, lower your voice. It's already night. We don't want the neighbors to start yelling at us for being loud." I stated crossing my arms as he stopped in his tracks and pouted.

"Anyways, since the four of you will need the training, we'll meet in the clearing of the forest tomorrow after your school time." Father said, "Of course, while Kurama and Kuwabara will be in school, I'll be training Hayami and Hiei. Ranumi will be attending to all us for any injuries after training. Just remember that this training will be taken serious and no complaints."

"Right." We all agreed.

"Then it's decided." Father said as he stood up, "Tomorrow, I'll be observing your weaknesses after a small sparring with each other. That way, I know what type of training will be needed."

"Thank you, Mr. Ryuji." Kurama said,

"Good. It's best if you two head home to your families before they get worried." Father said to Kuwabara and Kurama and they bid there goodnight to us. "You three should get some rest as well." He said as he faced us.
