(Thoughts)
Chapter 8
Shiroi stared at him, "What?"
"Please tell me you heard me?" Hiei asked.
"I don't know," Shiroi, answered, "Did you say that you loved me?" Hiei nodded. "Okay." She fainted, and Hiei wanted to bang his head against a tree again.
Now he felt really bad, but he knew if he didn't do anything, he would face her later, and he didn't know if she would tolerate fainting in front of him, and he didn't know what her wrath would be.
(This is so embarrassing,) Hiei thought as he contacted Kurama.
***
The half demon was in the middle of a card game with Yuseke, Botan, Kuwabara, Touya, and Jin.
-Kurama, - Hiei said suddenly in his mind. The demon's voice sounded part embarrassed and part worried.
-What's the matter? - Kurama asked as he finished his turn.
-I just told her, - Hiei said, -but then she fainted. -
Kurama couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What's so funny?" Botan asked.
"It's not actually that funny," Kurama said, "But Hiei just told Shiroi, and she fainted."
"Oh my," Botan exclaimed. "That's not good."
"What did he tell her?" Touya asked. "Had to have been something to make her faint."
"They'll tell you," Botan said as she got to her feet. "I'll go find them, I think it'll probably be the least embarrassing."
"And it already isn't?" Yuseke asked with a smirk, Kurama nudged him.
***
Botan walked off into the forest. She had seen which direction they had gone, and it only took her a few minutes to find them. "Well this won't do will it?" She asked when she saw Hiei.
Hiei whipped around. "So he blabbed?"
"Well he laughed when you told him Shiroi had fainted, so we had to ask."
Hiei blushed and looked down where Shiroi lay. "Now what?" he asked.
"We'll if you let me, I can bring her around, but then you're on your own." Hiei nodded and Botan stooped down next to the woman. She didn't exactly zap her, but didn't something like it, and then trotted off when the woman's eyelids began to flicker.
(Now time to find out,) Hiei thought as he watched her eyes open.
***
Shiroi opened her eyes, and sat up quickly. "I fainted didn't I?" she asked.
Hiei nodded, "Are you all right?"
"I think so," Shiroi answered, and then she remembered why she fainted. "Are you serious?"
"Huh?" He realized what she was asking, and blushed. "Yeah."
She felt like fainting again, but didn't want to go through it again. "When, when did you start feeling this way?"
"I'm not really sure," Hiei answered. "Maybe when I first met you, but it wasn't any longer after that."
Shiroi didn't know what to say. Just two days ago she had thought no one felt anything for her, and now finding out someone that she had feared for years did feel that way about her, she actually felt confused. "Can I get back to you on this." She watched him slouch. "Sorry."
"It's all right," he said, as he straightened, "I didn't really expect you to have an answer for me right away anyway."
"That makes me feel a little better," Shiroi said. "I feel more confused than anything, I just don't know what to say." She smiled, "Well, at least it answers me why you always protected me."
Hiei blushed and scuffed his boot against the boulder her was standing on. Shiroi got to her feet, "Need to tell me anything else?" Hiei shook his head. "I'm going to go and think, okay?" Hiei nodded and she walked away.
Hiei sat down the boulder, feeling relief and fear at the same time. (Now I just have to wait.) He sighed, and then got to his feet again. He didn't know if he should he back to the meadow, or just wander around the forest until it was time to leave.
He felt like braving the others, and headed back to the meadow. When he got there, he watched Yuseke smirk, but then Botan smacked him, and Hiei felt better.
"What did she say?" Kurama asked. Touya and Jin had left so as not get on Hiei's nerves.
"She doesn't know," Hiei answered as he plopped down. "I can't say I blame her."
"Who would?" Yuseke asked.
"Any other man," Botan answered, "Especially one that doesn't know of her past."
"That's true," Yuseke muttered. "This stinks for you doesn't it Hiei?"
Hiei glared at him, "Shut up," the demon muttered.
"Leave him alone," Botan said. She looked at her watch, "Still another hour, and some people have wandered off, so we can't leave earlier."
"Anyone up for another game of cards?" Yuseke asked. They had to agree, since there wasn't anything else to do.
After four games and Yuseke losing all four times, the cards were put away and they were left to do whatever they wanted.
Hiei ended up getting into a mind-to-mind conversation with Kurama. -So, - Kurama said, -what did she do when she woke up? -
-She asked me if was serious, - Hiei answered.
-And of course you were, - Kurama said. -So she's still in the forest? -
-Yeah, thinking apparently. She said she was confused, and I can't blame her for that either, since she thought I hated her for the longest time, and I only told her last night that I didn't. By the way, I did apologize for what I said to her, I don't think I need to say what. -
-Took you long enough, - Kurama said.
***
Finally the last hour passed and everyone came back to the meadow and got ready to go.
"Okay everyone," Botan said. "It's time to hike back, I hope you're ready." They headed out of the meadow; taking the same trail they took into it out.
The rest of the day was quiet and uneventful. By nightfall they had found a place to camp for the night.
Botan found Shiroi sitting alone at her campfire.
"Hey," Botan said as she sat down next to her. "You okay?"
Shiroi nodded, "I just don't know what to tell him. I mean, I can't even look at him anymore without feeling guilty."
"Guilty for what?" Botan asked.
"Making him wait. He had to wait five years to tell me this, and now he has to wait more for my answer."
"He told us he was expecting it," Botan said. "Sure he doesn't want to wait, but he knows he has to, so he waits."
Shiroi nodded, "I'm still so confused though. All these years I thought he hated me, and now come to find out he feels this way about me, it's just too weird."
"I don't blame you," Botan said. "I'd feel the same way too if were in your situation. Take your time in find out your answer, you don't want to make the wrong one."
Shiroi shook her head, "No, I don't do I?"
Botan smiled, "I'm sure you'll make the right decision, and hopefully the one that's to everyone's benefit."
"I hope so," Shiroi replied.
***
The next day was the same as the day before. They had to find an alternate route around the mountain, since the rockslide had destroyed most of the path.
"This may take longer," Botan said. "But I hope not."
Hiei finally found a suitable path around, which took nearly three hours to walk.
"We won't find that other trail for another two hours," Botan said. She looked at her watch. "It's almost noon, that's around the time we finished those paths and started heading this way, so it should be close to two when we find those."
"Are we on schedule though?" Shiroi asked.
"More or less," Botan answered. "That last path took longer than I had hoped, but there wasn't anything we could do about that. Other than that, we are making pretty good timing."
***
Around two, they did find the other paths, but Hiei didn't take the guys on the other one this time, for his own reasons.
That trek took an hour a half. By then, it was past four-thirty, and everyone was anxious to get back to the temple.
"This should only take half an hour," Botan said, "Thank goodness, I really want a shower."
"I'm sure many people do," Shiroi said.
***
By the time they got to the temple, it was past five and everyone was glad to see the temple shrine come into view when they came out of the forest.
"Is everyone back?" Genkai asked.
"All are back," Botan said, "Alive and well." She looked behind her, "Though they are tired."
Genkai nodded, "So, are you going to be taking Yuseke and the group back to spirit world while Shiroi takes the rest?"
Botan nodded, "Yep, and the sooner the better, I'm craving a shower."
Genkai chuckled, "Then get out of here then, there's nothing else you can do here."
Botan nodded and turned back to everyone. "Okay, the group that transported here with me come over here, the rest of you turn your attention to Shiroi so she can send you back to spirit world."
Everyone did as they were told, and soon they were all back in spirit world.
***
Author's Note: Ouch, that's must sting. Hiei finally tells Shiroi how he feels after five years of keeping it a secret, and now he has to wait for an answer, his life must suck. Oh well. As I said before, you probably hate me for that, but I don't care. You'll like the next chapter, I hope, but it may be a little boring.
