<span style="font-style: italic">So what do you want me to do?</span>Hatsu asked Yami.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Go back to the warehouse,</span>Yami said.<span style="font-style: italic">While you do need work with team work, none of those Hunters over there will be coming along. You're going to have hard, non-stop training for the next fourty-eight hours, so start preparing now.</span><br/><br/>Hatsu held back a groan. Complaining would only make things worse, besides, he'd be a lot stronger by the time this was over. With a final glance back at Aly and the others, his eyes widened as he noticed for the first time that Atma had wings. He decided he'd leave that little matter for later. He had other things to focus on now.<br/><br/>----------<br/><br/>Within minutes, Hiei was already deep in demon territory and fighting hard. He cursed under his breath as he took down another one, he'd already lost count.<span style="font-style: italic">They're still only sending out the lower level demons. That's so annoying.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">They must be holding back the stronger ones to prepare them for the war,</span>Alastor voiced.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Well I think I'll put a nice dent in their forces. Maybe if I stir things up enough they'll send out some stronger opponents.</span><br/><br/>Alastor laughed.<span style="font-style: italic">Relieving some of your stress from earlier?</span>the demon asked.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Shut up,</span>Hiei said as he sliced another demon down the middle.<span style="font-style: italic">I really hate people,</span>he thought, without directing the sentiment to Alastor.<br/><br/>Alastor also thought so Hiei couldn't hear:<span style="font-style: italic">An anti-social killer isn't exactly good for society,</span>he thought, smirking,<span style="font-style: italic">but it's exactly what I needed.</span>
