Chapter 24
After a little while, Yuseke and Kuwabara got into a snowball fight with Kurama and Hiei. Of course the demons were winning, and Yuseke and Kuwabara were soaked and never hitting their marks.
"I feel like helping them," Shiroi said as she pulled her cloak on.
"What are you going to do?" Botan asked.
"Watch and see," Shiroi answered as she headed out the door. She walked to the side of the throwing field and made it to the mound of snow that Kurama and Hiei were using as a barricade. They had a pile of snowballs in their artillery, and Shiroi decided to put two of them to good use.
"Seems like you two of the upper hand," she said from the sideline.
"They're too slow," Hiei said as he peeked around the barricade.
"And they have lousy aim," Kurama said.
"Picking on humans again?" Shiroi asked.
"They started this," Hiei said, "It's their fault."
"Oh really?" Shiroi asked, glad the had most of their attention on her and the rest on Yuseke and Kuwabara, so they didn't notice the two snowballs rising from the pile and hovering toward their heads.
A snowball whizzed past their barricade, and Hiei popped up and yelled, "Missed again!"
Shiroi took that as the perfect opportunity, and dropped the snowballs on the demons' heads.
Yuseke and Kuwabara had been watching, and burst into laughter when the snowballs landed.
Kurama shook the snow out of his hair and looked up at Shiroi, surprised. Hiei was just as dumbfounded. Shiroi grinned mischievously at them, and dropped more snow on them.
"Ack!" Hiei jumped away as the snow hit, avoiding the majority of it, but Kurama got it all.
Kurama shook the snow off of himself. "I must applaud you," he said to Shiroi. "No one has done that to me before."
Shiroi smiled, and launched several snowballs at Hiei, who did his best to dodge them, but more than half of them hit.
"I hate you," Hiei grumbled as he sat in a pile of snow.
"Now I know you don't mean that," Shiroi said sweetly.
Hiei rolled his eyes and muttered to himself, "Yeah, I know."
***
They finally went back inside and dried off.
"That was priceless," Yuseke, said as he toweled his hair dry, "Watching Hiei and Kurama get hit by snowballs."
"I didn't find it very amusing," Hiei grumbled.
"Shiroi did," Kurama put in.
"Where'd she go anyway?" Yuseke asked.
"Nana wanted to take a look at her shoulder," Botan answered, "They should be out in a little while."
She was right, and the two came out of the back of the house, Shiroi smiled when she saw them covered in towels and not wanting to change their clothes.
She giggled, "Go change your clothes."
"Okay," the mumbled in unison, and Shiroi laughed again.
***
Later that afternoon, Shiroi sat on a portion of Nana's house's rooftop that was clear of snow. She was thinking about the same thing she had been thinking about last night, and no she really wanted to figure things out.
This has been a bumpy ride with my emotions, Shiroi thought. I want to figure this all out, but I even know what this emotion feels like. She sighed and traced a pattered in a clump of snow next to her with her finger.
"If you keep doing that your finger is going to freeze off."
Shiroi looked up to see Hiei. She summoned snowballs the size of ping pong balls and had them circle around herself in warning. "Need something?" she asked.
"You seemed to have recovered a far amount of your energy," Hiei said.
"Only enough to summon something that's already in existence," Shiroi replied. "I can't summon water or ice out of thin air, and I can't transport all of us home, not yet."
"How long do you think that will take?" Hiei asked.
"Maybe a few days," Shiroi answered. "It's returning faster that it did the last time, so were should be able to go home by the end of this week."
"I can't say I'll be sad to leave," Hiei said as he kicked some snow off the roof so he could sit down. "Constantly being watched by Elder Sansa's a pain, even if he has a good reason for it."
Shiroi giggled, "You're never happy unless something is in your favor."
"Very funny," Hiei muttered.
Shiroi giggled again and Hiei rolled his eyes. "So," she said, "Feeling any bruising from last night's fall?"
Hiei shook his head, "You?"
"Not really," Shiroi answered. "I've fallen from higher, and I'm guessing you have too."
"I freefall from those heights for fun," Hiei said.
"Now you're crazy."
"No, I just know the extent of my abilities," Hiei replied.
Shiroi kicked a clump of snow, "Uh-huh, and Kurama lied to me when he told me you nearly lost your right arm when you first started using the Dragon of the Darkness Flame."
Hiei cleared his throat and looked away.
Shiroi kicked another clump of snow, bored. "Some of you may want to go home now, right?"
"Maybe," Hiei said, "But ask them if they would admit to it."
"Would you?"
Hiei blinked, "No," he finally answered. "If you were anyone else though, probably yes. But you're not anyone else."
Shiroi sighed and shook her head; "I'm no one special Hiei, so treat me like you would treat any other female."
Shiroi blushed and didn't answer. The she said, "You don't ignore you sister."
"That's different," Hiei, said, "She's my sister."
"Guess you do have a bit of a point there," Shiroi said. "And I guess you do ignore Botan, Keiko, Hinigeshi, and Genkai whenever you come across them," she ticked them off on her fingers as she said them. Then she looked at him, "So what makes me so different?"
Hiei wanted to jump off the roof and land on his head, "You know why!"
"But what made you feel that way about me?" She asked. "You never really answered me on that, you just told when, not why."
She had him there.
Hiei gulped, blushing lightly, "I'm not really sure. I guess at first just felt badly for you, and I guess that just grew. Sounds stupid huh?"
Shiroi shook her head, "No, not really. But you really aren't one to feel sorry for people."
Hiei shrugged and didn't reply.

Nearby, at Elder Sansa's house, Yuseke was peering from the window with a pair of binoculars at the two sitting on Nana's roof.
"Why are you spying on them Yuseke?" Botan asked. "Just leave them alone."
"But I want to catch them," Yuseke said, not taking his eyes away from the window.
"Catch what?" Kurama asked.
"What do you think?" Yuseke asked.
Kurama walked over and snatched the binoculars from him.
"Hey!" Yuseke yelled.
"I'm not going to let you use my binoculars for spying on personal business Yuseke," Kurama said as he put the binoculars away. "How would you like it I spied on you and Keiko?"
"Like you don't already?" Yuseke asked. The half demon glared at him. "Never mind."
***
Back on Nana's roof, Hiei asked, "Have you seen any sign of Takken and his cronies since they attacked you?"
Shiroi shook her head, "No, I didn't even catch a glimpse of them at the ceremony, although my mind was on other things at the time. They had to have been there, at least Takken, because Anada was there."
Hiei nodded, "Lets hope they don't give you anymore trouble."
Shiroi got to her feet, "Have a feeling that they'll never stop tormenting me." She looked at Hiei, locking her eyes with his.
All Hiei could really see in her eyes was mystery. There was a small hint of concern, but mostly all mystery.
Suddenly that mystery vanished, and was replaced by pain. Hiei snapped out of the lock, "Shiroi?" He heard a clatter, and looked to see a throwing knife hilt slip off the roof. He caught Shiroi just before she fell, noticing the blood coursing through her fingers that clutched her abdomen.
Hiei heard laughter across the road, and turned to see Takken standing on the roof opposite them. "That's no ordinary throwing knife," he called. "I made that was special, out of the fang of that winged serpent, and you know what the fang is coated with."
Of course Hiei knew, that venom, the stuff that burned the vegetation when it touched it. What could it do to flesh? He didn't want to wait and find out. He moved Shiroi's hand that clutched her wound, raised his left hand, and plunged it into the wound. He pulled out the blade and dropped it, letting it fall where the hilt had landed.
He looked back up at Takken, but the knife thrower was nowhere to be seen. It really didn't matter, blood was flowing from Shiroi's wound like running water, and Hiei turned his complete attention to that, pulling off his coat and wrapping it tightly around the wound to slow the bleeding. Then he picked her up and jumped off the roof. Before running to Sansa's he picked up the blade and hilt, knowing he would need them if he wanted to prove that Takken had done this.

Author's Note: Okay, this was a little on the short side. I will say this once in sympathy for Shiroi, ouch. Two injuries in two days, this definitely doesn't sound like her week. Review me and tell me what you think.
