Chapter 14
They went across the hall, stopping in front of the door. Shiroi didn't know what to expect inside, she hadn't really ever gone in it after her mother died, and she knew it would probably be a mess.
"Something wrong?" Hiei asked.
Shiroi sighed, "I'm just wondering what's waiting for us on the other side. I never really went in here after my mother died, so I can't imagine how my father left it."
"How was he in the first place?" Hiei asked, "As far as neatness goes?"
"As neat as a cat is messy," Shiroi answered. "To put it simply, left on his own he would have turned this place into a dump."
"Still want to go in?" Hiei asked.
Shiroi nodded, "There may be something worth it." She took hold of the handle and opened the door, trying to beat the memories so they wouldn't stop her in her tracks.
The room was nothing like she had expected. It was clean, perhaps her father had figured he would never come back and cleaned up. Whatever he did, the place looked rather nice.
"Were you expecting this?" Hiei asked.
Shiroi shook her head, "Guess even he can feel the need to clean up every so often." She walked inside, and was pelted with a memory she never wanted to remember.
***
She was six years old and at her mother's bedside. Naoru was lying there, looking deathly pale. Shiroi, who was Chikara then, was crying; she knew what was about to happen to her mother.
"Don't cry my little one," Naoru said to her. "You have nothing to fear. One day you'll be able to contact me, you'll be able to see me whenever you wish."
"How?" Chikara asked.
"You'll find out," Naoru answered. "You hid what I gave you?"
Chikara nodded, "Yes, just like you told me to."
Naoru smiled, "Good," she whispered. Her eyes closed and her breathing stopped.
***
"Shiroi!"
Shiroi snapped back to reality, having been shaken by Hiei.
"What happened?" he asked, "What was that?"
"What?" Shiroi asked. Then she realized what he was asking, "You saw it, that memory?"
"That was when your mother died wasn't it?" Hiei asked.
Shiroi nodded, and wiped her eyes that had become teary from the memory on her cloak. "I'm sorry you had to see that. Though I have to say, at least you weren't paralyzed from it, I was, that's why you had to shake me out of it."
"Is this why you've been acting so strangely?" Hiei asked. Shiroi nodded. "Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"What could they have done?" Shiroi asked. She looked at the floor, "I'm sorry you had to see that."
Hiei shook his head, "It's all right. Shiroi, you know I just want to help you." Shiroi nodded and looked up into a mirror that was to the left side of the room, and gasped.
Raimeihi was reflecting in the mirror, on the far right side of the room. Shiroi looked that way quickly, but there wasn't anyone there. She looked back at the mirror; his image was gone as well.
"Shiroi," Hiei said. Hearing her gasp and watching her face turn as pale as it was, "What is it?"
She pulled away from him and ran out of the room.
"Shiroi!" He ran after her.
In the living room, the others were standing there in a quiet conversation, and then they heard the yelling.
"What the?" Kuwabara asked as Shiroi came racing down the hall.
Shiroi had her eyes closed and didn't realize where she had stopped until she had opened her eyes. As she as her eyes were set on the room, all she could see before memories washed over her was Hiei running into the room after her.
"What's happening?" Yuseke asked. The room had turned mostly gray, but they didn't seem to be standing there anymore. What they saw explained a lot of way Shiroi had been acting so strange.
They saw Raimeihi beating a younger Shiroi, another of Raimeihi just yelling at her. That's what they mostly were; a few were of her cowering in a corner, or running away and her father pursuing her.
Finally they ended and the room turned back to its normal color. Shiroi was sitting on the floor, clutching her head and shaking like a leaf in the wind.
"Shiroi," Botan gasped as she knelt down beside her.
Shiroi heard the woman's voice, but it wasn't enough to calm her. She felt demon energy nearby and flung the body backwards with her wind power.
"Hiei!" Kurama gasped as he watched the demon get blown backwards and into a wall.
Shiroi heard the man's voice, and felt his demon energy as well. She feared it, and used the same power she used on the one before on him.
Kurama was suddenly flung backwards. He hit the window and was thrown outside. His back hit the railing on the porch and he fell over that and hit the ground. His breath was nearly knocked of him, and it hurt for him to take a deep breath into his half collapsed lungs.
Back inside, Yuseke and Kuwabara were stunned to see what had just happened to the two demons.
"Why did she just do that?" Yuseke asked.
"What's the matter Shiroi?" Kuwabara asked.
Shiroi heard their voices, and her old fear of men gripped her and she flung them to where Hiei was getting to his feet.
Before Botan could stop her, she was on her feet and out the door. "Shiroi!" Botan called after her.
"What's wrong with her," Yuseke asked as he got to his feet.
"It had to have been those memories," Hiei said.
"Memories?" Yuseke asked.
"Those were memories of her past," Hiei answered.
"How do you know?" Kuwabara asked as Kurama stumbled inside.
"I saw one already," Hiei answered.
"What of?" Kurama asked as he leaned against the door jam.
Hiei looked at the floor, "Her mother's death."
They all were silent for a moment, and then Botan straightened. "I'm going to find her," she said.
"What makes you think you're the only one going?" Yuseke asked.
"If we go she may attack us again," Kurama warned. "She's much more powerful than she was when she was first afraid of us, this could become very dangerous."
"He's right," Botan, said, "All of you may want to stay away from her for a little while until she calms down. Those memories were quite brutal."
"Can we at least follow at a distance?" Yuseke asked.
"It's not very wise," Kurama said. "She can sense spirit energy and demon energy. It must have been what she sense on Hiei and I to make her attack us first. At certain times demon energy is easier to sense that spirit energy."
"I bet that's not going to keep Hiei from coming," Botan said.
"Who says I wasn't coming either?" Kurama asked. "I was just saying that so you all knew."
"What are we waiting for then?" Yuseke asked. "Lets go."
"We don't even know which way she went," Botan said.
"I saw her go that way," Kurama said as he pointed to their right. "Botan can fly ahead and Hiei can follow, and we can follow Hiei."
"Sounds like a good idea," Yuseke said. "Let's go then."
They ran outside, just as Elder Sansa, Anada and Nana came up to the house.
"What happened?" Sansa asked.
"I'll explain," Kurama answered. He turned to the others. "You guys go ahead, after that fall, running doesn't sound like a lot of fun." He turned to Anada, "You may want to go with them."
Anada nodded as Botan summoned her oar, "Hop on," Botan said. Anada wasn't quite sure, but did as she was told and got on the oar behind Botan. "Wait a few minutes before following, okay Hiei?"
The demon nodded, reluctantly. Botan rose into the air and sped away, Anada clutching the woman so she wouldn't fall off.
