In the blink of an eye, Hiei was no longer on the roof top where she had turned back to look at him. "You're faster than before," he said, his even voice coming from behind her, "But perhaps you've forgotten how fast I am." He gave a slight smirk. His speed was one of his greatest assets. So far, no one had beaten him in a race since he'd become a hunter. While he had to admit, Anaka had improved a lot since they last met, he was still faster. And yet she never turned down a race.<span style="font-style: italic">Some things never change...</span><br/><br/>He toyed with the idea of giving her a head start, but decided that that kind of arrogance might just make him lose the race. Hiei turned his back to her and gave a slight wave. "See you on the battle field." And boom, just like that he was gone again, appearing no more than a second later on a roof top three buildings away. He wondered if she just saw him disappear like everyone else seemed to, or if she'd improved enough to be able to semi-track his movements. He turned back only long enough to giver her a slight smirk, then he disappeared again and the race was on.
