A few more days went by, and Rei found herself to be very tired and drained from her own training sessions with Genkai in order to control her own gifts, even though her training sessions with the old woman were not as physically draining as Yusuke's they were still very stressful, and took a lot of discipline and self-control. So Rei decided that she needed to unwind, and go somewhere to relax her body as well as her mind. That's when she decided to go to the hot springs that were near by. It was a secluded area and no one ever went out there, it was quite a nature hike to get there, but that didn't bother Rei, she had a lot on her mind, and one of the things on her mind was a certain juvenile delinquent by the name of Yusuke Urameshi.
'What is with that guy? I don't understand him, one minute he's being the ultimate pervert, then he apologizes for it, then he's begin a total creep again...and then there are those eyes...I can't explain it, but those eye are so...so...beautiful...and yet they freak me out at the same time. When he stares at me, I feel like he can see into my very soul...EW how creepy. And yet, I find myself so attracted to him...' thought Rei to herself as she had finally reached the hot springs. Rei quickly stripped completely and slowly eased herself into the warm water.
"Oh yeah, now that feels good" speaks Rei to herself as she allows the warmth of the water to engulf her and to take away any stress that she may have had before entering. Rei allowed the water to kiss and caress her body with silent relaxation. She could feel it slowly massaging her muscles and easing away any tension. Her long jet black hair was wet and sticking to her body, and her skin glistened with gleaming droplets of water, as the evening twilight sun glowed upon her. She was in ecstasy, but what she didn't know was that there was an interloper; the very same person who she was thinking about was observing her.
Yusuke wasn't trying to be rude, or perverted, he just happen to have the same idea that Rei had about the hot springs. He would usually come out here after training all day to ease the pain in his muscles, he had no idea that Rei knew about this spot or that she would be out here, but their she was, naked and looking incredible. He continued to watch her from a far in the woods as the hot spring was in a clearing. Yusuke couldn't Move he was paralyzed by her beauty. Yusuke's eyes followed Rei's every move and not taking them away for nothing in the world. He gulped hard, as his heart rate went up, along with his lower appendage.

'This is just perfect; it's bad enough I can't get her off my mind, but now I can't even come to my usual spot and relax, though I don't mind the eye candy, but damn a guy can only have so much self-control, and right now I'm running out...' thought Yusuke and he continued to watch Rei, he contemplated for a moment about what to do, should he join her or just forget about the whole thing and act as if he hadn't been there and seen nothing at all. But if he did that, his hike to his favorite spot would have been in vain.
'Damn it! What the hell am I supposed to do? Well she's just going to have to deal with sharing, or take her sexy ass out of there, because my muscles are aching, and I have more of a right to be here than her, all she does is meditate all damn day anyway.' And with that final thought Yusuke began to approach her.

Rei was in her own world, this was just what she needed to keep her sanity. She rolled her head back and closed her eyes as the warmth of the water brushed and washing a cross her exposed breast. With her eyes closed she was in heaven, but when she opened them up, she was in hell, as the first thing she saw was Yusuke towering over her with a very perverted smirk on his face.
"Enjoying yourself cupcake?" spoke Yusuke smugly as he glanced at her water sprinkled breast. Rei was paralyzed with bewilderment, she couldn't speak or act.
'This cannot be happening to me? Please tell me this is not happening? I'm hallucinating...yeah that's what it is, I'm not really seeing Yusuke...this is just a figment of my imagination...' Thinks Rei to herself as she continues to stare up at Yusuke and he continues to stare at her bare chest.
"Wow, would you look at that, they float..." spoke Yusuke as he was referring to her breast, he than began to inch his hand over to them in hopes of a feel, when Rei snapped out of her state of shock and smacked his hand away and wrapped her arms around her exposed body in a shielding and protective state.
"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU CREEP!!" yells Rei as loud as she can in a hysterical state
Yusuke only laughs taunting her while standing over her with his hands in his pockets.
"Just what is so funny!? "
"I bet now you wish you hadn't left your clothes so far away..." laughed Yusuke as he glanced behind him and saw that her clothes were laying neatly on top of a large stone behind them, it was only a few feet from where Rei was but to her at this point made her feel like they were miles away.
"Just perfect..." speaks Rei to herself sarcastically "Look, what are you doing here anyway? What are you, stalking me or something!?" continues Rei
"Yeah right, don't flatter yourself cupcake, I came out here to relax, like I always do after I train with the old bat, not gawk at your little underdeveloped body..." and with that said Yusuke began to laugh once more only harder.
"UNDERDEVELOPED!!!??? How dare you!!! Wait a minute I don't even know why I'm acknowledging you, it's not like you got room to talk, you're not exactly packing yourself pal! What are you 3inches! Now get away from me and get a life!" When Rei said that Yusuke just rolled his eyes, not taking her comment to heart.
"Yeah right, like I'm going to leave." Began Yusuke sarcastically "You should leave! I come here everyday after training and there's never been any sign of you anywhere before, and now I come today and there you are. Hell, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were stalking me...but anyway this is my spot, you leave." He continued
"Stalking you? Ha ha, very funny...NOT. And in any rate I don't see your name on it!"
"That's not the Point Rei..." answered Yusuke in a serious tone.
"Well, I guess asking you to be a gentleman, and leave is too much to ask huh?"

After Rei said that, there was a moment of silence between them, Rei looked up at Yusuke's face and it looked like he was contemplating on what she just said. And then a smirk slowly grew upon his face. Yusuke then began to take his clothes off as if Rei wasn't even there staring at him.
"Hey, wa...wait a minute...wha..what are you doing?" spoke Rei in a panic-stricken voice as she continued to watch the young man before her disrobe. Yusuke went about taking off each and every inch of his clothing. Rei would have covered her eyes, if she could move her hands, but then what would cover her breast. She felt a heavy and hot blush creep across her face as she stared at Yusuke's bare chest.
'Unbelievable...' was the only thought that came to mind as Rei stared at Yusuke's well tone body. Rei's eye's worshiped every inch of his now fully nude body, starting from his face that wore a knowing smirk, to his chiseled tone chest, her eyes went lower, and lower, and lower still until...
'OH MY GOD...' Rei quickly turned away and shut her eye's tight, with an extremely heavily blush across her face, after witnessing Yusuke's little friend wasn't little anymore.
"Calm down princess, it won't hurt you..." began Yusuke as he stepped into the warm water slowly and began to ease himself toward her. "...That is, unless you want it to..." continued Yusuke as they were now only inches from each other's face.
In hearing the tone of his voice and the closeness of his presents Rei felt a chill come upon her body.
"Just what do you think your do..." started Rei, but Yusuke cut her off when she notice that he was slowly separating her arms, in order to expose her breast.
"...Calm down baby, damn stop being such a bad ass for one day..." was all Yusuke could manage to say as he was taking out of his train of thought when Rei's arms finally fell to her sides, he was in awe as he stared upon her swollen , voluptuous breast. Rei was helpless toward him, not a single word was uttered by her, as she stared into his piercing eyes. Yusuke took his hands and cupped her breast, stroking, fondling and teasing her silky skin. He then began to kiss her softly on the neck not taking his hands of her chest once, all the while worshiping her body with many gentle butterfly kisses. Rei moaned as she allowed her head roll back, allowing her body language to silently communicate her permissiveness to him. Yusuke heard her moans in his ear while he ravishes her. He then pulls away and looks up at her seeing her eyes closed, with her heavy breathing, knowing that she is enjoying this as much as he is.
"I knew you wanted me cupcake, you just like for a man to chase you..." was all Yusuke said as he then took her arms and wrapped them around his neck, he then placed his arms around her tiny waist, and pulled her as close as he could to him with dominating sexual arousal as his guide, and they slowly, softly, kissed, tasting each other, feeling each other's body heat along with the heat of the soothing hot springs water. Their bodies pressed against each others, glistening with the warmth of the water, and the steam from their passion.
"Oh Yusuke...." Spoke Rei in a blissful whisper
"...Um...Yeah?" Rei looked up and saw that Yusuke wasn't kissing her...he wasn't even in the water with her. She then turned and saw that he was towering over her fully clothed and staring at her strangely. She is now realizing that she had just imagined the whole thing.
'What's wrong with me? I could have sworn that...' Rei was then taking out of her thoughts.
"...Hey, I'm talking to you!" spoke Yusuke becoming a bit aggravated, that she wasn't paying him any attention.
"Oh...sorry, what were you saying?" was all Rei was able to say.
"I was saying, that you don't have to worry about it..."
"Worry about what?"
"...Damn, weren't you listening at all!? Here I am trying to be the bigger person, and you could give a shit..." Rei didn't say anything; she was still in a daze after having that incredible fantasy about him.
"Look, I was just saying, that you can enjoy your bath. It's all yours cupcake, I'm leaving..." and with that Yusuke began to walk away. Rei was motionless, she didn't expect for Yusuke to give up, and walk away, she was expecting for him to either turn away as she got dressed, or bullied his way in with out giving a damn about how she felt about it, but not walk away. She sat there still in complete disbelief as she watched him walk away without a care in the world, he even put his hands behind his head and started to whistler while looking up at the sky.
'I just don't get this guy...one minute he's yelling at me telling me I have to leave and that this is his spot, and the next minute he give up and acts like he doesn't care, and then there was that incredibly real daydream I had...just what is going on here?' thinks Rei to herself as he continues to walk away. ' Should I just let him walk away? I have no idea what to do?'
Yusuke just continues to walk away without looking back at her once.
'Okay, now this should be the part where she feels bad and ask me back to join her...okay anytime now...' thinks Yusuke to himself as he continues to walk
"Um Yusuke?...wait..." shouts Rei abruptly
"Uh...Yeah?" speaks Yusuke as he stops in his tracks and turns around to face her.
"I take it back..."
"You do?" answered Yusuke in a fake surprised voice
"Yeah I do...I mean...your not 3 inches, more like 6, well bye now..." When Rei said that Yusuke sweat dropped and fell over anime style.
"IS THAT ALL YOU WANTED TO TELL ME!!?" Yells Yusuke
"Um... yeah, why? Did you think I was gong to invite you back?" spoke Rei in a laughing tone.
"WELL, NO BUT ...DAMN IT!! Just forget it..."spoke Yusuke in a huff, his plan back fired, so with that said he left.
"What a dork..." was all Rei said to herself as she just continued her bath, and not feeling any type of remorse as she watched Yusuke leave.

A hour went by and Rei finished up her bath, she got out and dried off and got dressed. It was the early evening now and it was a clear night, with a full moon and stars out. She felt that it was time to head back to the temple before it had gotten really late. As she began her long hike back, she couldn't help but to laugh to herself.
'That moron, I hope he really didn't think, I would fall for that lame stunt of his. Oh please trying to make me feel sorry for him, just to invite him to join me...yeah right...'

Rei continued her walk down the trail, feeling a lot more refreshed and a lot less stressed, she was then taken out of her thoughts, when she saw a figure that was leaning on the side of a tree, as she continued to walk closer she saw that it was Yusuke, he was leaning against a large tree with his hands behind his head looking up at the sky. Rei was kind of puzzled by this because she thought that he was long gone by now.
"What are you doing?" spoke Rei softly as she walked up to Yusuke Yusuke turned to face her, with a relaxed smirk, he seemed like he was really enjoying the cool fresh night air, and it was rare for Rei to see him, in a good mood, usually they would argue or she would witness him storming into the temple after his training sessions, pissed and cursing to himself about how he hated being there and that it wasn't fair that he had to put up with all the abuse he was taking. So seeing him like this was quite a change, and it was a welcome change as Rei smiled at him.
"Hey Rei, what's up?"
"You tell me, I thought you were going back..."
"Yeah well...I was just looking up at the stars, you know, just relaxing." Spoke Yusuke as he looked back up at the sky. "So, did you enjoy your bath?"
"Yes I did..."
"...well that's good..."
"So...um...are you about ready to head back to the temple, do you want to walk with me? It's getting late"
"Yeah , why not..." spoke Yusuke as he moved his neck from side to side trying to get this crook out of it, he was also rotating his arm in a circular motion, trying to get the kinks out of it, there was no denying it, his muscles were aching, and Rei noticed this as they began to walk, she notice that he continued to move is arm in that way, and by seeing this she realized why that hot springs was so important to him, it was obvious that he needed something to ease his aches.
"Um Yusuke, you alright?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?" spoke Yusuke in a nonchalant tone, not sure why she would ask him that, as he continues to rotate the joint in his arm.
"Well it just seems like your feeling slight discomfort" spoke Rei as she gave him a quick glance from the corner of her eye then continued to look ahead at the path they were walking on.
"Well let me rephrase that...I'm as fine as anyone would be after getting the crap beaten out of them by a deranged ..."
"...uh yeah I get the point" interrupted Rei, she really wasn't in the mood the hear Yusuke's complaining and just by knowing him for a few days she could tell that , that was one of his pastimes, and it was too pretty of a night for that, but still she couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor guy,
They continued to walk in silence for awhile, Rei felt as thought she wanted to say something to him, she would glance at him each chance she could, trying not to allow him to know that she was looking at him and studying his mannerisms and trying to read the expressions on his face. But of course Yusuke was extremely unreadable to her. All she got from his facial expression was nonchalant ness, and boredom as he continued to just look strait ahead and not giving her a second glance at all.
"So how's your training going?" ask Yusuke out of no where as he broke the uncomfortable silence and by hearing his mellow voice abruptly startled Rei she was taken out of her thoughts.
"...oh um...fine...I'm making progress..." stammered Rei
"Well that's cool. So tell me Rei, were you born with your gifts, I mean have you always had them?"
"No I went shopping one day and got them off the clearance rack, of course I was born with them" spoke Rei sarcastically.
"That's quite a mouth you got there, makes me wonder why your so cynical..."
"Like you got room to talk Yusuke..."
"...I never said I did, I'm just sayin that its kind of ironic that a pretty, sweet looking girl like yourself has the spunk and the mouth that you have. Most girls I go to school with don't talk like you, and they sure hell don't talk to me like that..."
"...And why is that?"
"...Because...there afraid of me..." answered Yusuke in a remorseful whisper as he looked down as they continued to walk. After hearing him say that Rei looked at him with a puzzled expression upon her face, just what was he getting at? She wasn't sure, but she did know that he wasn't going to go any further in the matter unless she performs her infamous prying skills.
"So...um, what do you mean by that? Why do you think their afraid of you?"
"Why are you asking me this? What's it to you princess?" stated Yusuke defensively.
"...uh well um...be...Because I'm concerned"
"Yeah right, more like nosey..."
Rei didn't say anything back, she was a bit surprised that he wasn't falling for her fake concern, and how he just called her out about it. So for the moment they continued there walk in silence. Rei felt a bit uncomfortable while Yusuke seemed like he didn't have a care in the word for once. But still the silence between them was making her feel a bit uneasy.

'What is wrong with me? Why do I feel this way around him? Am I crushing on him? NO! that can't be it! I mean come on, he's rude, lazy, perverted, and...and...totally dreamy...' thinks Rei to herself as she gazes toward Yusuke without him noticing as they continued there walk.

"What the hell is wrong with you Rei, you been quiet for a while, and call me crazy but that's not like you..." finally speaks Yusuke breaking there silence.

"...And just what do you mean by that!" states Rei defensively
"Just what I said, you're too damn quiet, and it's starting to annoy me, is something on your mind?"
"...Hmp, everything annoys you..."
"There you go with that smart mouth of yours, you keep on talking that way to me and you're going to find your pretty little ass in trouble..."
"Yeah right, I'm not afraid of you" Yusuke just smirks to that last comment, he didn't know why but he was drawn to this girl, her beauty along with her fiery personality was driving him crazy with sexual desire. Though he was trying, he couldn't keep his eyes off of her, he would still glances at her when ever he thought she wasn't paying attention.

'Damn she's really something else, not only is she gorgeous but...aw the hell with this...'

Yusuke suddenly stops walking and Rei instantly notices and stops as well.
"Yusuke what's wrong?"
"Rei..."
"...What?" Yusuke didn't answer, he just stared at her as if he was contemplating something.
"Well whatever your problem is, we don't have time for it..." starts Rei as she puts her hands on her hips. "It's getting late and we really need to get back!"
Yusuke still does not answer, and this is really starting to annoy Rei.
"Did you hear what I said?" continues Rei as she walks toward him all the while her patience are running thin.
"Rei...I..."
"...What?"
"I...want to show you something okay..."
"...Yusuke we really don't have time for this, can't it wait?"
"...No besides it will only take a second."
"Fine" was all Rei said with a deep sigh.
"Good, now stand back..."
"Whatever." Rei does what she is told although the expression her face is easily read as mix of irritation and disinterest.

Rei stood a good few feet from him leaning up against a tree, she watched him from behind taking noticed that he slowly lifted his arm sticking out his index finger toward a distant cluster of trees, she has no clue to what he was doing, it just looked like he was pointing in a far direction, but she didn't speak she just observed...then it happened Rei noticed that his index finger began to glow lightly.

'Is that all of his energy, I can feel it now...it feels...powerful...why didn't I sense this from him before?' thinks Rei to herself as she continues to watch Yusuke's actions a few more seconds of him powering up his index finger and then....

"Spirit Gun!" Yells Yusuke loudly as a gigantic blast of spirit energy exudes from his index finger blowing away the trees that were in their path creating a new clearing.

Rei was speechless , she didn't know what to think or say to him. She just stood there behind him with her mouth open and eyes full of amazement.

Yusuke then turns around and sees the expression on her face and lack of speech causing a confidant smirk grow across his face.

"And that's not even at full power..." starts Yusuke as he walks toward her. "So, tell me again why you're not afraid of me, because I really think you should reconsider cupcake." He continues in a laughing and playful tone. Rei has now regained her composer as she watched Yusuke approach her.
"Was that supposed to intimate me Yusuke Urameshi?" stated Rei as she crosses her arms and stares him in his eyes, they are now only inches from each other and even thought Rei had a cool nonchalant facade , she felt her heart rate rise from their closeness, all the while Yusuke expressed a triumphant smirk as he looked at her.
'Just what I was hoping for, I didn't freak her out or scare her away. Damn she's beautiful. but I wonder if I kissed her would she slap me...'

"I'll admit that it was impressive, but you don't scare me, sorry try again."
"Well aren't you hard core." States Yusuke sarcastically as he watched Rei walk away from him, with her head up high.
"Yeah well it didn't scare me, though I will admit that it did something to me."
"Oh yeah? And what's that?" Rei turned around and faces his gaze, with a smirk of her own.
"...It turned me on." Yusuke sweat dropped Rei seductively winked at him, as she began to take off her shirt, exposing a white lacy bra.
"Have your way with me Yusuke..." Yusuke gulped and then slapped himself.
"What is wrong with you?" states a puzzled Rei Yusuke looked up and saw Rei wearing what looked to be a short sailor school girl uniform on it was really short. The skirt was read , with matching red high heal shoes, she was also wearing gloves and a gold tiara.
"What the hell?" was all Yusuke could say
"Yeah that's what I was saying when you slapped yourself, are you feeling well?"

It was then after hearing Rei say that, that he knew that the image of her taking off her top was just a daydream or a fanitsy that he so badly wanted to come true. But then again seeing Rei in the sexy sailor uniform with the high heals wasn't bad either, he just wondered how she got dressed in it so fast.
"Wait a minute? What the hell is with the red sailor cheerleader out fit? And how the hell did you get dressed in it so fast.
"Well, while you zoned out, I transformed."
"In to what? Sailor stripper?!"
"Shut up! Look I want to show you something too, now pay attention!" Yusuke didn't say anything back he just watched her as she pressed her two index gloved fingers together and looked like she was concentrating.

'God, why am I showing him this? Do I feel like I have something to prove? Man the girls are going to kill me when they find out...'

Yusuke just stood behind her with curious eyes.

"Mars Fire...Ignite!" Yelled Rei, and just like that Flames came from the tips of her fingers causing a single tree a good distance away from them catch on fire.

"Great Rei, now we have a forest fire on our hands..." was all Yusuke said nonchalantly.
Rei turned and looked at him in disbelief.
"Is that all you can say?"

Yusuke thought for a moment.
"No, I'm kind of wondering where the hell did you get that outfit, it looks good on you, really sexy. I love a woman in spiked red high heals." Joked Yusuke as he walked up to her.
"You're such a idiot! I don't even know why I bother!"
"Damn cupcake calm down..."
"...And will you stop calling me CUPCAKE! I'm sailor Mars the champion and defender of..."
"...Save it." Was all Yusuke said as he was now face to face with her he stared at her up and down, getting a good look at her legs. "why don't you turn around for me, I want a good look of the back..." continued Yusuke
"You are such a disgusting pervert, I hate you..."
"...No you don't" answered Yusuke with a smirk on his face, he then took both of his hands and cupping Rei's face, causing Rei's body to tremble with anticipation.
"Hey...wha...what are you doing Yusuke?"
"Shh..." and just like that there were no more words between them, Yusuke slowly inched closer to her face and there lips touched. He kept his hands cupping her lovely face, while arms traveled around his back, stroking him as their kiss deepened. Rei's moans of pleasure echoed through out the forest, there kiss was full of pint up passion and fire that they both had for each other. And neither of them wanted it to end but it did. Yusuke slowly broke their kiss, causing Rei's legs to give way because his passion made her latterly weak in the knees, but Yusuke caught her.
"Damn baby you okay?" asked Yusuke as he held her.
"Yeah...um I'm fine."
"You certainly are" Rei only blushed and regain her composure and stood on her own once again. She then Transformed back to normal before his eyes.
"I was just playing with you before Rei, that was really cool, you'll have tell me more about yourself I see."
"And the same goes for you Mr. Spirit Gun.." answered Rei in a joking tone.
"Well cupcake it's kind of a long story..."
"Same here." When she said that Yusuke kisses her on the lips once again, then breaks the kiss once again and allows his hand to slowly stroke her long jet black hair while making eye contact with her.
"Well the two of us are going to be training here for a few more months, so I think that there will be plenty of time to explain our stories to one another, what to you think cupcake?"

Rei smiles at him and wraps her arms around his neck.
"I think...that's a great idea."
