The next evening, Rika had taken a walk to get some air. She looked out to the sunset from the cliff as her hair whipped in the wind. "Shouldn't you be studying the orb and what happened to you. So you can prevent it?" A voice questioned from behind. "Excuse me for wanting to relaxe a bit." Rika said. Hiei came up next to her, "Wouldn't relaxing be better in the tower?" "I hate being indoors. I feel like a rat in a lab cage." Rika said. "Good point..." Hiei mumbled, "Do you at least have any lead on the orb?" he asked. "No...I'm afraid I don't. Once I'm done recovering, I'll get on it." She answered. "You know..." Hiei paused, "You can be so stubborn sometimes." "Same to you." Rika retored. There was a short silence before Hiei looked to her with a smirk and said, "Your such a handful." "Then why do you love me?" Rika said with a sly smirk. Hiei smiled a little and shook his head, as he held her hand was watched the sun set with her.

  Back at the tower, the team was surrounding the orb as they looked hard at it. Yusuke sat in a chair as Kurama sat on the couch. Kuwabara stood next to Yusuke and Botan, who had just arrived, stood behind Yusuke. "Why doncha touch it?" Kuwabara said. "I'm not touching that thing, you touch it." Yusuke said. "No! You!" Kuwabara said back. "None of you should touch it. It's powers could harm anyone who does." Botan warned. "Well what about Rika? It doesn't hurt her when she touches it!" Kuwabara shouted. "Well what about when she fell from the sky when it entered her stomach! How about that!?" she shouted in his face. This left Kuwabara stumped. That's when Rika and Hiei walked in, the sun had already set by this time. Much wasn't descused that night and they all went to bed eirly. The next day, Rika and Hiei had already left the tower. Kurama was next to leave, follwed by Kuwabara and Yusuke. Everything seemed to be normal again. No one felt like they wanted to bother to see if Atamis was dead or alive......because they knew he would come back, he always did.
