Chapter 3
"Now what?" Hiei asked.
Shiroi watched as her father's rotting remains wove themselves together like worms, and the living corpse was back on his feet. "You won't kill me so easily," he sneered.
"Get back Lord Koenma," Shiroi said. The heir obeyed, just as the corpse attacked again.
"Don't think I'm weaponless," he said, as his usual long sword materialized from his body. "I'd say you wouldn't want to get cut by this one."
Shiroi dodged the thing and retaliated with her own sword attack. This time she blocked his sword, and she could hear whatever was on it sizzling against the energy of her sword. "Oh well that's a lovely sound to hear."
"Ha, it will be even nicer when I hear you scream for mercy again," Raimeihi laughed.
Shiroi gritted her teeth at the memories, and gripped her spirit sword harder. "I don't want you to harm these other people, lets take this outside."
Raimeihi laughed, "Make me." She did. She sent energy lashings at him, which bound him to the spot. "Damn you!" Raimeihi swore.
"I'm making you," Shiroi said, "So lets go." They vanished.
"Where did they go?" Yuseke asked.
"Somewhere where no one could get hurt," Kurama answered.
Hiei yanked off his bandana and looked outside with his Jagan Eye. He found them well away from the palace. "Come on!" He ran out, the others following him.
Well away from the palace, Shiroi and Raimeihi were at a stand off.
"What's the matter?" Raimeihi asked, "Did you run out of energy?"
"I have enough energy to destroy all of spirit world," Shiroi replied. "And I'm not exaggerating either."
Raimeihi sneered, "You lie, no one can have that much spirit energy. Only those in the legends do."
"Then does that mean that I'm a living legend?" Shiroi asked him, Raimeihi didn't answer; he just attacked. Now that they were outside and away from people, Shiroi wasn't afraid of using her real power.
She summoned energy spheres and sent them at Raimeihi, controlling them when they missed, making them act like heat sensing missiles, except these tracked spirit energy.
"You bitch," Raimeihi spat as he evaded the spheres again. "You may be stronger now, but you'll never beat me." He charged at her, his long sword ready.
"That's what you think," Shiroi whispered as she easily dodged his sword. The white gown she was in was not suited for fighting in, but she had no choice. She called upon her wind abilities and rose into the air, just a few feet off the ground, it would make movement easier.
The ground around her was hard, and she summoned up several stones and hard clumps of dirt, firing them at him to veer his concentration. Those hit more often them not, since he was more worried about energy spheres then rocks and dirt.
"You think you're going defeat me this way?" Raimeihi asked.
"I don't know," Shiroi, answered plainly, "It seems to be working."
Raimeihi growled at her, "We'll just see about that." He summoned lightning down on her, but she blocked it with her own.
"Like you said Raimeihi," Shiroi said, "You can't hit me with something that I also control. And you've lost your concentration."
"What?" Raimeihi asked, just as the three energy spheres that had been trailing him struck him in the back. "Damn you," Raimeihi hissed as he struggled to get back on his feet.
"I'm not like I used to be," Shiroi said. "So you can't treat me the same." She fired more shots at him, hitting her mark more than once.
"You'll pay for this," Raimeihi growled as he got to his feet again. She fired at him again, and he landed at her feet. "You just made your final mistake!" He grabbed her ankle and dragged her down to the ground. "Now you'll get your punishment." He said as he clasped his rotting hands around her neck.
"Let go of me!" Shiroi yelled as she struggled against his grip.
"Let go of her!" Shiroi had just enough time to glance to her left to see Hiei slashing at Raimeihi.
Raimeihi had to drop her to block Hiei's attack, and then got the demon into the same hold he just had her in. "Trying to protect her again are you?" He asked as he tightened his grip around Hiei's neck. "Now feel what you made me go through," Raimeihi laughed as he sent bolts of lightning through Hiei's body.
Hiei wanted to scream in agony, but he didn't want to give Raimeihi the satisfaction he wanted, and endured it.
"Fine then," Raimeihi said as the lightning ceased. "I'll just get rid of you like you tried to get ride of me!" Fire snaked its way up Raimeihi's body, but it never got to its target.
"Did you forget about me?" Shiroi asked as water sprayed at Raimeihi, dowsing the fire.
Raimeihi dropped Hiei, "You little bitch!"
"I've heard enough of that," Shiroi said as lighting struck her father's body. "You're right that lighting can be evaded," she said, "But not when you're soaking wet." Raimeihi screamed in agony, and when it stopped, he fell backwards into the dirt. "This time I'll personally make sure you're nothing but ashes," Shiroi said as she summoned fire onto her father's body. She fueled it with her spirit energy, making it hotter and hotter.
"You may have beaten me now," Raimeihi gasped, "But one day, I'll kill you, I swear I'll kill you!"
"If you can ever get out of Hell," Hiei hissed from where he sat.
Shiroi watched as Raimeihi's body burned into a charged pile of ashes, then froze and crushed them, obliterating any sign or trace of him.
"Finally," Shiroi sighed. She turned to Hiei. "Are you all right?"
"I've had worse," Hiei answered as he got to his feet and brushed himself off. "He didn't even scratch you this time, did he?"
"Besides choking me, no," Shiroi answered. She shuddered, "Ugh, I need a shower, I feel like he touched me everywhere, not just my neck."
"Lets get out of here," Hiei muttered. They turned around, only to see the others run up.
"It's over?" Yuseke asked.
"Where is he?" Kuwabara asked.
"Uh," Shiroi looked behind her, "Various dust particles that escaped my freezing and crushing."
"Were you able to do anything Hiei?" Kurama asked.
"Nothing important," Hiei muttered. "I did stop him from choking her though."
"And then he got you in a choke hold and zapped you," Shiroi added. "But that adverted his attention away from me, which allowed me to finish him while he wasn't paying attention."
"He touched you?" Botan asked, "Ew!"
"Is everyone all right?" Shiroi asked.
"No one's injured," Botan answered. "Raimeihi didn't get so lucky this time."
"Well let go," Shiroi said, "If I can get back fast enough, I can repair the damage Raimeihi did and keep the rest of the gathering from being canceled."
"You can do that?" Yuseke asked.
"Yeah," Shiroi answered, "It's not hard."
"You go ahead then," Botan said. "You'll get back there faster than us anyway." Shiroi nodded and rose into the air a few feet, and then flew back to the castle.
***
When she arrived at the castle, Emperor Enma and Koenma were waiting for her.
"Is he disposed with?" Emperor Enma asked.
"Yes sir," Shiroi answered.
Emperor Enma nodded, and then cleared his throat, "If I may ask, could you do something about the damage he caused?"
"Of course sir," Shiroi answered with a bow. She turned to the damage and surveyed it. "Okay," she whispered, and got to work.
***
By the time Yuseke and the others got back, the damage was repaired, like it had never happened.
"She wasn't kidding," Yuseke said as they walked in, "was she?"
"Apparently not," Botan replied. "Come on, lets go see if they're back in the ball room." They headed back to where they had spent most of the evening, and to their relief, everyone was there.
"It like it never happened," Kuwabara said.
"Where's Shiroi?" Botan asked as she looked around. They found her standing with Koenma.
"Took you guys long enough," Koenma said as they approached. "We're lucky Shiroi was able to repair the damage, or else this whole thing would have been a waste."
"Not to us," Yuseke said.
"Oh besides that," Koenma muttered as he glanced at Shiroi. She had been able to clean up quickly after she repaired the damage, so now it looked like she had never been in battle.
"Man," Yuseke groaned, "We didn't even get to see her fight."
"I saw some of it," Hiei said, "She's not half bad."
"Not half bad?" Koenma asked, "I've watched this girl take out an entire hoard of demons without blinking."
"There were only five Lord Koenma," Shiroi said, blushing slightly "I don't that's counts as a hoard."
"Well you took them out like there was only one there," Koenma said, "And I know that hasn't been your most difficult assignment."
"I really don't want to remember them, sir," Shiroi said softly.
Everyone was starting to leave now, and the room began to get emptier and emptier, until finally they were one of the few groups left.
"I believe it is safe to say that we can take our leave if we wish," Koenma said as he looked up at his father. The ruler nodded, but signaled to Shiroi for the woman to come over.
"Yes sir?" she asked when she reached him.
"I want to talk to you tomorrow morning before the rest of the gathering gets underway," Emperor Enma said. "Come to me as soon as you can tomorrow morning."
"Ye sir," Shiroi said as she bowed, and went to catch up with others.
"What was that all about?" Yuseke asked.
"Nothing that concerns you," Shiroi replied softly.
"I'll take you boys to your rooms now," Botan said. "But, Shiroi I would like you to stick with me, I want to see where your room is."
"All right," Shiroi replied.
Botan got the boys to their rooms, Koenma leaving them after the got to Kuwabara's room. When Botan was finished, Shiroi led the woman to her room.
"So this is it?" Botan asked as they walked in. It was quite plain, with only a bed, a small dresser next to the bed, and a wardrobe next to the wall. The only advantage to the room was that there was a bathroom and a sliding-glass door that led out onto a large balcony.
"I really don't need anything fancy," Shiroi said. "So, how is Genkai doing?"
"She's doing fine," Botan answered. "She'll be ecstatic when she hears that you're here. Maybe you can get a little time off from Emperor Enma and come and visit."
"I don't know," Shiroi said, "I've never asked for time off before, but I have been working for him for the past three years straight with no actual vacation, so maybe he will."
"I hope so," Botan said. She grinned and hugged the woman, "Sorry, couldn't help it."
"It's okay," Shiroi, said, "I'm surprised you didn't do it sooner, after Yuseke."
"Well we were in public," Botan said, "And Yuseke doesn't have a whole lot of shame."
"Oh well," Shiroi sighed. "So, how's everyone else doing?"
"They're all fine," Botan answered.
"Are Keiko and Yuseke still together?"
"Oh yes, and Yuseke's been wanting to propose to her, except he can't summon up enough guts to do it."
"And to think he's one of the top normal rank spirit detectives," Shiroi said. "He's more worried about rejection than he is of his next case."
"It's pretty hard to believe," Botan said with a little laugh.
"I don't know," Shiroi, said, "I've never really had to worry about emotions like that."
"Oh Shiroi," Botan said. "You'll find someone some day."
"Who would want me? I don't have anything of value except my job."
"Sometimes that doesn't matter," Botan said. "Oh well, guess I can't get this topic into you."
Shiroi smiled, "Sorry. So, is Kuwabara still infatuated with Yukina?"
"Of course he is," Botan answered, "But what's said is that Yukina still doesn't get it. I know it's not her fault that Kuwabara can be a clown when she's around, but he's made it obvious."
"I'm sure she'll get it one day," Shiroi said, "And hopefully it'll be before Kuwabara's old and gray."
Botan laughed, "Yes, lets hope."
"So what have Hiei and Kurama been up to?"
Botan shrugged, "Who knows, you never really know what demons are up to, even those that are half demon."
"I guess that's true," Shiroi said. "And how about you?"
"Same, same," Botan answered. "Taking orders from Koenma, getting Yuseke's rear out of trouble, you'd think someone that's twenty-two could keep themselves from getting caught up in street fights."
"Apparently not," Shiroi said with a little laugh.
"Okay, time for me to ask you the questions," Botan said.
"Shouldn't we wait for those?" Shiroi asked, "I'm sure everyone will want to know the answers to several questions you're going to ask me."
"You're right," Botan said with a sigh. "Guess I'll have to wait."

Author's Note: Yuck, I wouldn't want to get touched by something like that. At least this time the victory went to the right person. I don't have much to say for this chapter, so I'll be waiting for your reviews.
