Chapter 15: Escape/ 30 months- June

Shuichi sat in her hut and smiled. Yes, everything was ready. After nearly two in the Koorime prison camp she was going to keep her promise to her daughter. She was going to get them out.

Luckily the Koorime didn't expect anything from the fire a few months ago. They took it out that a camp fire lost control which was nothing to them. Rahne has become much more powerful and will be the one main element in their escape. Shuichi looked at her white rose. Her daughter was beautiful and looked so innocent. She reached up and moved a lock of hair which made Rahne wake.

"Mama?"

"Yes, my white rose."

"Sing me our song."

Shuichi smiled. It was a song Shiori used to sing to her when she was little and she used to sing it to Hiei to help him sleep and started singing it to Rahne. It too helped her sleep. Holding her daughter she opened her mouth and sang softly.

Sitting in the snow

Was a bush alone

Bare of leaf and flowers

Wishing for a friend

The birch cried lonely

For its branches were bare

And its wood was dry and cracked

Alone that birch stood,

All alone.

A god took pity on the brush

And gave it a friend for eternity

"I am your friend," said the flower on its branch

"That you wished so deeply."

Now the bush was glad

And more spread on its tips

And was never alone again

So in the winter and you're all alone

Wish for the rose so white and pure.

Rahne had fallen sleep soon after the song ended and Shuichi laid her down.

"Soon my rose. Soon you will see the trees again and the whiteness of the clouds, and hear the wind call your name. Soon you will be free."

They were working in the mines again the next day, digging out the jewels and placing them in their bags. Shinta and Shinken stood near them tired and aching, but really they were nervous. They were part of the escape plan that has never been attempted before. Shinta looked at Shuichi as he remembered what the silver fox told him the night before.

"No matter what Rahne and Shinken have to get out of here. Take them out and head to the east. There are friends there that will help you. Give this," she handed him a lock of her hair, braided and tied, "to a person who answers to the name Hiei. He will know what it means."

Shinta fingered the plaited hair, wrapped tightly around his wrist. He had to wait for the signal before he would lead the two girls out.

Shuichi picked Rahne and nodded slightly to a block of ice. Rahne nodded and raised her ki slightly at the block. It started t bubble and steam till the whole mine shaft was filled with smoke.

"Go!" yelled Shuichi and handed Rahne to Shinta. Shinta and Shinken took out the metal make-shift knives and followed Shuichi as their adoptive mother took out a Leaf Blade. As they neared the gate Shuichi ran to fight off the guards. Shinta ran to help her.

"No, go!" she yelled locking blades with one, glad Hiei taught her some swordsmanship. "Fly!"

Shinta hesitated for a moment but then ran out the gate.

"We can't leave her," yelled Shinken.

"We have no choice," he said clutching tight to the crying toddler in his arms.

"MAMA!!"

Meanwhile Shuichi was knocked down by the guard and was iced to the ground. Trying to find something to loosen her up she felt something soft under her fingers that didn't fell like snow. Grabbing it quickly she kept a tight clutch on it as the guards lifted her up. The guards dragged her to a cell and threw her in.

"Filthy youko," spat one and walked away. Shuichi growled angrily at the guard, then gave a small smile. Looking at the soft bundle in her hands her smile widened. It was Hiruiseki. Rahne must have dropped it. She hugged the doll close and almost felt lie she was hugging Rahne.

"I kept my promise. You're free my white rose." And she sang the song.
