Chapter 10
After another hour at her mother's Shiroi went back to the palace the see if Emperor Enma was out of his meeting.
When she arrived, he had just gotten out of it, and was not in a good mood.
"Probably shouldn't ask him now," Shiroi said as she headed away from his office.
She was bored now. She really couldn't leave the palace anymore, except going to her mother's, and she had no case, so she had nothing to do.
"Hey Shiroi." Shiroi looked up as she was walking to see little Koenma sticking his head out his office door. "What's up?"
"Nothing," Shiroi said as she stopped. "I was going to go and ask your father for some time off, but he just got out of a meeting and is not in a good mood, so it's probably not the right time to ask him something like that."
Koenma nodded, "Good choice." He looked back into his office for no reason and then looked back at Shiroi, "Want to come in?"
Shiroi smiled, "Why not, I've nothing else to do." Koenma clapped cutely and let her in. Inside was his normal office, his desk covered in papers, but there was one thing visible, an ice/glass phoenix. "You still have this?"
Koenma nodded, "Of course, it's the only thing that'll lighten my mood when I feel like throwing a tantrum."
Shiroi giggled, "Oh Koenma. Not meaning to be insulting, but are you ever going to grow up?"
Koenma shrugged, "I don't know." Shiroi laughed. "So, what will you do if you can't get time off?"
"Go back to work I guess," Shiroi answered. "If it comes to that, will you tell Botan so she can tell the others?"
Koenma nodded, "You bet, of course you know they'll be disappointed."
"Of course I do," Shiroi replied. "I haven't even seen Hinigeshi, Yukina, or Keiko yet."
"And they probably know by know that you were there for three days," Koenma said. "They're probably very disappointed that they didn't get a chance to see you."
"I know," Shiroi replied. "Well, I'll see them if I get time off."
Just then the office door opened, and one of the guards from Emperor Enma's office poked his head in. "Lady Shiroi, Emperor Enma would like to talk to you."
Shiroi nodded, and then turned to Koenma, "See you later then." Koenma nodded and she left his office. She followed the guard back to Emperor Enma's office. When they reached his office, Shiroi knocked.
"Come in," came Enma's voice.
Shiroi opened the door. "You wanted to see me sir?"
Enma nodded, "Yes." He put some papers aside. "How long have you been in my services?"
Shiroi thought for a moment, "In your service only, or just the length of time I've been a spirit detective in general?"
"In general," Enma answered.
"Four and a half years sir," Shiroi replied.
"Have you ever had any assigned vacations or things like that?"
Shiroi shook her head, "No sir."
Enma nodded, "Well then, I believe it is time for you to have one?"
"Pardon?"
"It's time for you to have a well deserved vacation," Enma answered. "A nice long one, you do deserve it."
"How long exactly, sir?"
"One year."
"A year sir?" Shiroi asked startled, "Are you sure?"
Enma nodded, "Though expect summons for small cases during that time. Nothing major; little cases that with your abilities can be dealt with in a few hours."
Shiroi nodded, "Yes sir."
Enma looked down at her, "What are you still doing here, scat, you're on vacation!" His eyes were smiling, even if his mouth was not.
Shiroi smiled and bowed to him, "Of course sir." She left his office and ran to Koenma's. "Your father just gave me a year off!"
Koenma looked up from his work, "That's amazing!" He hopped out of his chair and flew to the woman, "I can't believe he gave you that much time off."
"He said he may call me in for small cases, but that's about all."
Koenma cheered and hugged the woman. "What are you still doing here? Go, beat it, scat, or go to Genkai's temple, anywhere but here!"
Shiroi laughed, "Yes Koenma. You know your father told me to scat too, I guess it really is father like son." She ran out of his office and back to her room to pack the few things she owned.

Her first stop was her mother's, to let her know that she was on vacation and would be in the human world most of the time.
"A year off how wonderful!" Naoru said. "And you didn't even ask did you?"
Shiroi shook her head, "No, it's what he called me in for." She smiled, "I'm going to go to the human world now and catch up on old times."
Naoru smiled, "You go and do that, and try and find your answer." Shiroi nodded and left.

Botan sighed, "Well, I wonder if Shiroi's asked Emperor Enma if she could have some time off?"
"She had to of by now," Yuseke said as he checked his watch. They were all sitting around Genkai's temple, wondering if and when Shiroi was going to show up.
"I still can't believe we missed her," Keiko groaned.
"I was so close to seeing her," Hinigeshi said, "If I had only found time to go to the gathering."
"Quit your complaining," Genkai snapped. "If Shiroi said she's going to get time off, she'll get time off, I haven't seen her fail at anything she's wanted."
"What has she wanted?" Kuwabara asked.
"Well I would like you guys to quite moping." They all whipped around to see Shiroi standing at the top of the stairs.
"Shiroi!" Keiko cried as she, Hinigeshi, and Yukina raced over and hugged her. "You're really here."
"So how much time did Emperor Enma give you?" Kurama asked.
"Would you believe me if I said a year?" Shiroi asked, all of them shook their heads, including Genkai and Hiei. "Well believe it, because he did."
"No way!" Botan yelled, "You're kidding?" Shiroi shook her head and Botan cheered. "Yay! Now we can really catch up."
"What's there to catch up on?" Shiroi asked, "You already know what I've been doing."
"So?" Hinigeshi asked. "Not all of us do."
"I've been working under Emperor Enma," Shiroi answered, "Does that answer your question?" Hinigeshi nodded.
"So what are you going to do on your time off?" Keiko asked.
"Well," Shiroi answered, "I've been thinking about it, but I think I'm going to visit my home village. It's been over five years since I've been there, and they all probably think I'm dead."
"After all this time you haven't gone back there?" Botan asked.
Shiroi shook her head, "I've never had the courage to go. That's where it all started. Would you want to go back to a place where all of your suffering began?" Everyone shook their heads.
"When will you go?" Yukina asked.
Shiroi shrugged, "I don't know yet, soon though."
"I think you should go right away," Botan said. "If they think your dead you should go there and set them right. You said there were a few people there that still cared about you, so you should go and see them."
"I guess that's true," Shiroi said, "But I'm worried about the others. Those boys that used to taunt and harass me are grown men now. They could start coming after me again."
"You think we're going to let you go alone?" Yuseke asked. "No way. We want to come with you."
Shiroi blinked, confused. "Why would you want to come with me?"
"So we can teach those guys a lesson," Yuseke answered.
"If you do that they'll kick you out of the village," Shiroi said. "Are you sure you want to come just to get kicked out?"
Yuseke and Kuwabara exchanged glances, and then said together, "We'll be good."
Shiroi smiled, "Okay, those of you that want to come can come."
