Chapter 28


They all made it back to Elder Sansa's house and collapsed on whatever seat they found first.


"Maybe that fight was more than just a regular workout," Yuseke muttered.


Hiei smirked, "I could see under Takken's glare, he was looking at you as if you were crazy."


"Cool," Yuseke said, "I confused him."


"That's not all you did," Nana, said, "You've all gained some injuries that need to be treated, now lets go."


"Hiei doesn't," Yuseke, grumbled, "Shiroi already healed his wounds."


"Because he got bitten by the serpent," Shiroi said, "Nothing more."


"Sure," Yuseke said as they went and got their wounds tended to.

A few hours later, most of the traders were gone. The bodies of the serpents Shiroi had burned after she had gotten her wounds tended to. The only thing left of the fight was some debris left from some of the traders' stands.


"Almost looks like it never happened," Hiei said as he came up behind Shiroi.


"Are you going to start following me around again?" Shiroi asked.


"Probably," Hiei answered.


Shiroi giggled, "All I ask is that you don't get over protective."


Hiei shrugged, "I'll do what I want."


"I know," Shiroi grumbled. She looked around, there were still one or traders left, looking the debris to try and find anything. She turned to Hiei, "Want to go for a walk? I feel like getting out of the village for a little while."


Hiei shrugged, "Why not, there's nothing better to do, is there?"


Shiroi shook her head, "Not really."


"Lets go," Hiei said.


Shiroi smiled and they headed out of the village. They walked down the same path Shiroi had run away from them on two days before.


"How's your shoulder?" Shiroi asked, trying to make conversation.


"You healed it Shiroi," Hiei answered. "All of the wounds you've healed for a me have never bothered me. And I doubt they've bothered anyone else."


Shiroi blushed, but didn't say anything else.


They walked in silence for a while. The snow on the path had been moved aside by the traders, and only a small amount had covered the trail since. They made it to where they could see the river through the trees.


"It looks different," Hiei said.


"It's probably frozen over," Shiroi answered. "Lets go look."


They walked through the snow up tot he riverbank. Just as Shiroi has said, the river was frozen over by a thin sheet of ice. Hiei tapped the ice with his foot, and spider web cracks snaked over the surface.


"Think it would hold me up if I used it during a run?" Hiei asked.


"You mean one of your leaping runs?" Shiroi asked. Hiei nodded, "I don't know."


"Lets see then," Hiei said as he trotted back over to the trail.


"Hiei," Shiroi said warningly, "I don't think that's a very good idea."


"When have you been so concerned about my safety?" Hiei asked.


Shiroi blushed, "Never mind." She went over to a rock, brushed the snow off of it, and sat down to watch. I know that ice is going to break, she thought to herself. So why am I letting him do this?


She watched as he jumped off. It took him two leaps to reach the river's edge, and when he came to launch himself off the ice, it shattered under his weight.


"Uh-oh," Hiei gulped as the ice broke, but he didn't fall. "Huh?" He turned his head to see Shiroi, her eyes glowing slightly and the wind blowing.


"I told you that wasn't a good idea," Shiroi said as she put him down on the ground.


Hiei glared up at her, "What's your point?"


Shiroi shook her head, and slid off the rock and into a pile of snow. She giggled, "That was fun."


Hiei shook his head and looked the other wrong, and then finding out that the decision had been a bad idea, when a snowball hit him in the back of the head. "Hey!" He yelled as he turned around.


Shiroi laughed. "You fall for it every time," she giggled.


"But this time I'm fighting back," Hiei replied as he hurled a snowball at her.


Shiroi reversed the snowball's path and sent it back to Hiei, whom received it in the face. "You know I have advantages when it comes to games like these."


Hiei wiped the snow away, "Who said this was a game?"


"I have advantages in fights too," Shiroi added as she launched several snowballs at him at once.


Hiei was dodging snowballs most of the time, but he managed to throw a few, and he hit her a few times too.


Shiroi actually felt good when one of his snowballs hit her, it told her that she had more training to do, and that she wasn't invincible to anything. She decided to try something new, and slipped away from her current standpoint.


Hiei looked back to throw another snowball, and was surprised not to find her where he had expected to find her. (Where did she go?) He looked around, but he couldn't see her.


Shiroi was nearly standing next to him, but she kept so still that even his sharp eyes couldn't find her. Since she was wearing all white, and their surroundings were snow covered, she had a camouflage advantage over him. To test it, she snuck up behind him and threw a snowball at the back of his head, and then backed up a few steps and stood completely still, eyes closed so they wouldn't give her away.


Hiei turned around when the snowball hit him, but there was no one there, or at least, no one he could see. He then thought of something. He pulled off his bandana and used his Jagan eye. There was Shiroi, using camouflage to hide from him. "Very clever Shiroi," he said as he retied his bandana.


Shiroi opened her eyes and reappeared to him, smiling. "I thought that was a pretty good idea.


"It was," Hiei said, "and I recommend that you keep using it. You almost fooled me."


Shiroi grinned, "I'm glad it was successful."


Hiei shrugged, "Not so, I still found you."


"You cheated," Shiroi accused, "You used your Jagan."


"Oh, and you using your abilities over snow isn't cheating in a snowball fight?" Hiei asked.


Shiroi opened her mouth to reply, but she couldn't think of a comeback.


Hiei smirked, "I'm right aren't I?"


Shiroi shrugged, "I don't know, maybe, probably."


Hiei smirked again, "Just say I'm right."


Shiroi approached him, "No," she replied, and smashed a snowball into his chest.


Hiei grabbed her arm to keep her from running away and tried to smash a snowball on her head, but when she tried to get away they both stumbled and hit the ground.


Shiroi's realization of the situation really didn't hit her right away, but when it did, there was only one thing on her mind.


It wasn't that he was pretty much lying on top of her, which would have normally caused her to kill him if that hadn't been what she was think about. Nor was it the fact that his hand was behind her head to protect her from the fall. All of those factors would have normally caused her to send him flying with her wind abilities, but that wasn't what was going through her head.


She could hear her heart pounding, or was it his? She could tell; her attention wasn't on that. Her attention was on how close Hiei's lips were to hers...

Author's Note: Mwahahaha! I ended it there just to tick you all off. It's the most evil cliffie in existence, and my computer's getting ticked off at me for using all of these funny words that are not in its vocabulary. Oh well, this one actually ticks me off too, since it's embarrassingly short. By the way, I'm not going to update on this one until I get reviews about how horrible this cliffhanger is, so send the reviews in, or the next chapter won't come.
