Chapter 4
The next morning, Shiroi was in Emperor Enma's office, ready for whatever he needed to tell her.
"I am here, my Lord Enma," Shiroi said respectfully as she entered the office.
"Good, you're on time." Emperor Enma was not the only one in there, all of the rulers were. "Know, I have the schedule for the rest of the gathering, and I want you to relay it to Botan, whom I've already told is going to be the main guide."
"Yes sir," Shiroi said.
Emperor Enma cleared his throat, "Right then, everyone has been in formed that there will be hike, but it is not going to be in the spirit world."
"Not in the spirit world sir?" Shiroi asked.
"No, it is going to be held in the human world, in the forest around Genkai's temple in fact."
"Understood sir," Shiroi replied. "And Genkai knows about this?"
"Yes, I had Koenma have Hinigeshi inform her two days ago," Emperor Enma replied.
Shiroi nodded, "The I shall go and inform Botan, good day sir." She bowed and left.
She found Botan with the others in the large gathering room, where everyone had been told to arrive that morning.
"Hey," Botan said as Shiroi approached. "Good morning."
Shiroi smiled, "I have I message for you from Emperor Enma," she said to the guide.
"I was expecting this." She turned to the boys, "Just a minute, I need to talk to her in private for a moment." Shiroi led her to a quiet corner and explained Emperor Enma's plans. "Okay," Botan said, "But how are we going to get everyone to the human world?"
Shiroi shrugged, "I completely forgot to ask. Maybe I should go back and ask."
"Do you think it's wise?" Botan asked. "Emperor Enma could be in a private meeting."
"I think I'll chance it," Shiroi said as she turned and headed back to Enma's office. "I hope I didn't make the wrong decision," she whispered when she made it to the doors. She turned to one of the guards, "I have a question for Emperor Enma," she said, "If he's not too busy."
The ogre guard nodded, though he seemed to be nervous of the risk of interrupting something important. He turned and opened the door. "Emperor Enma sir."
"Yes?" Emperor Enma asked, "What is it?"
"Lady Shiroi has returned; she has a question."
"Send her in," Enma answered.
Shiroi poked her head, "Sorry if I'm interrupting anything, but Botan would like to know how exactly we were going to get everyone to the human world."
Emperor Enma cleared his throat, and rose from his seat. "Shiroi, I want to speak with you outside."
"Yes sir," Shiroi walked out and waited for him, very nervous.
When Enma arrived, he closed the door behind him and turned to her. "Listen, I really don't know how we're going to get them there, but, how are your power reserves?"
"Nearly at max sir," Shiroi answered, "Why?"
"Then you will be transporting them."
"Oh," Shiroi replied. "All right sir." She didn't know whether to feel annoyed with the ruler or relieved. "Thank you for your time, I'll go now." She bowed and ran off down the hall.
"So how is he doing it?" Botan asked when Shiroi returned.
"Not what he's doing," Shiroi, said, "What I'm doing, he wants me to transport them all." She sounded a little annoyed.
"Oh goodness," Botan said as she looked at the mass of people waiting, "That's going to be quite a load."
"Tell me about it," Shiroi muttered.
"Well, I can lighten the load for you, very slightly," Botan said. "I can take Yuseke and the others, and Jin and Touya, if that'll help you any."
Shiroi nodded, "It may not be many," she said, "But it will make a difference, thank you Botan."
"Of course." Botan smiled and went up to the platform. "May I have everyone's attention please?" The room quieted and everyone's attention turned to her. "I hope everyone got their lunch packs, since we're just about ready to go."
"Where are we going?" someone called.
"We're going for a hike in the human world," Botan answered. "In the forest around Genkai's temple."
There was a buzz of excitement and confusion amongst the people, but Botan continued. "Emperor Enma believed that it would be more enjoyable to see what the human world has to offer, plus I just heard this morning that the place we were originally going to go to has been somewhat invaded by dragons, so the human world was are only other option in this short time."
"How are we going to get there?" someone else asked.
"Emperor Enma's elite detective will be transporting you," Botan answered, "I myself will be taking a small group with me to somewhat lighten her load a bit."
"How's she going to do that?" someone else asked. "Not even our ruler can do that."
"Shiroi is quite powerful I can assure you," Botan answered. "You don't have to worry about a thing."
"Except maybe how you'll land," Shiroi said. That got a few laughs out of the crowd.
"Okay then," Botan said. "I'll be transporting myself now, so if you'll all give your attention to Shiroi, she'll tell you want she needs you to do so she can transport you."
She hopped off the stage and head to where her group stood, "See you in a little bit," she said, and the group vanished in a flash of light.
(Okay,) Shiroi thought as she turned her attention to the waiting group of people.
Botan and everyone else appeared in front of the shrine where Genkai was standing.
"Don't tell me this is all?" Genkai asked.
Botan shook her head, "Of course not, the rest will be here in a few minutes, and there's a surprise coming with it."
"A surprise?" Genkai asked. "What kind of surprise?"
"You'll see," Yuseke replied.
"I wonder how the rest of the group is getting here?" Jin asked.
"They'll probably get separated into smaller groups," Botan answered, "It's the easiest and probably the safest way."
After a few minutes, a group of about ten people arrived off to their left, and then, another, and another, and two more before everyone was there.
"I guess Botan was right," Touya said.
"So where is this surprise?" Genkai asked.
Botan giggled, "Look behind you."
Genkai turned around to see Shiroi, and nearly jumped on the woman. "Where have you been?"
"Working under Emperor Enma," Shiroi answered as the old woman hugged her. She turned to the groups, "Did everyone in your groups make it?" When everyone gave her an affirmative, she said. "Okay, Botan has all the details, so turn your attention back to her please."
"All right then," Botan said. "Just so you know, I don't know this forest very well." That got some very confused comments and looks. "But there are two people here that do know, in fact one lives in here."
"Oh wonderful," Hiei muttered as Kurama dragged him up to where Botan stood.
"These two will more or less be our guides," Botan said. "This hike will take three days, which is way many of you are carrying travel tents. It will take us a day and a half to get to our designated destination, and another day and a half to get back, giving that the weather and other natural elements are on our side."
"Then there's a no," Hiei mumbled.
-Oh lighten up, - Kurama said as he walked up in his fox form. -Here, -he said, as he held up the pack in his teeth, -you get to carry this. -
Hiei grumbled and took the pack from him.
"Is everyone ready?" Botan asked.
"Yes!" Everyone called.
"Okay, then lets get going." She turned to Shiroi and Genkai, "Are you coming Shiroi?"
"Genkai wants to talk to me for a few minutes," Shiroi replied. "I'll catch up."
"Okay," Botan said.
"Hey everyone!" Yuseke yelled, "This is Hiei's backyard, so stomp on it really hard!" That got laughs from almost everyone.
"Hey this is my property!" Genkai yelled.
Yuseke looked at her for a moment, and then turned back to everyone else, "Stomp on it harder then!" Everyone laughed that time.
"Okay Yuseke," Botan said, "Enough with the jokes. Lets get going everyone, the trails are waiting."
"What trails?" Hiei muttered as Kurama pushed him along with his head, walking on his hind legs as he pushed him. "Hey, hey, stop it!"
***
Author's Note: Hmm, this looks interesting, a nature hike with the world's spirit detectives. And it's in Genkai's backyard, Hiei's too, since that's where he lives when he's got nothing to do.
