Chapter 30
Hiei stayed awake most of the night, keeping the fire burning. But around dawn, he had dozed off and the fire had gone out, but it really didn't matter anymore.
When he woke up, the sun was just past the treetops, and the blizzard was over. He looked down at the still sleeping Shiroi and smiled. He stretched where he sat, and that woke up Shiroi.
She sat up and yawned, blinking sleep out of her eyes. She looked toward the entrance of the cave and could see sunlight on the thick snow. She looked back at Hiei and smiled, "We should start heading back."
He nodded and she got to her feet so he could get up.
She walked to the entrance of the cave and kicked at the snow. "It's pretty deep.
Hiei walked over. "How much spirit power have you regained?"
Shiroi was quiet for a moment as she measured her power, "A little, why?"
"Do have enough to allow you to fly?" he asked.
Shiroi was quiet again, "Probably, why?"
"So we don't have to walk," Hiei said. "You can fly over the snow while I use my speed over it."
"I guess we could do that," Shiroi said. "The walk would be long, and difficult."
"Exactly why I suggested it," Hiei mumbled.
Shiroi smiled and walked out of the cave and into a clear spot. "Are we going to go then?"
Hiei nodded, and they both jumped up to the top of a tree.
"I can see the village," Shiroi said, "This shouldn't take long."
Hiei nodded, and they both jumped off. Shiroi sank a little as she took flight, but rose back up to the top of the trees that Hiei was jumping off of. They traveled in silence, using as little energy as possible.
As they approached the village, Hiei thought they were going to go on in as they were, but when he noticed Shiroi start to descend toward the ground, he followed her.
Shiroi landed about eight yards away from the village and stumbled, but Hiei stopped her from falling.
"I guess I didn't have as much spirit energy as I thought I did," Shiroi said.
Hiei sighed and wrapped his arm around her shoulders and they walked the rest of the way to the village.
***
Yuseke, Kurama, and Kuwabara were leaving Elder Sansa's house to go and look for Shiroi and Hiei.
"Do you have any idea where they could be?" Botan asked Kurama.
The fox demon shook his head, "Not really." Something made him look down the road, "But I don't think it matters."
They all looked to see Shiroi and Hiei heading toward the house.
"Where have you two been?" Botan asked.
"We got caught in the blizzard," Shiroi answered. "Can we go inside and talk about this? It's cold outside."
They agreed and went inside.
"Now," Yuseke said, "Details."
"Of what?" Hiei asked.
"Where did you two go last night?" Botan asked.
"We waited out the blizzard in a cave," Shiroi answered. "We had gone for a walk since there was nothing to do. It started snowing while we were out and the blizzard arrived almost immediately after. It was the only place I could think of where we could shelter until the blizzard ended."
"It was a smart idea," Kurama said. "And it's true that the blizzard started right away." He eyed Hiei, "So what did you two do after you found the gave?"
Hiei glared at the fox, "We started a fire, what else should we have done?"
"I had used the cave when I was younger," Shiroi said, "There was an old fire pit and enough wood to last the night." She glanced across the sitting area at Hiei; they had been conveniently separated as soon as they had entered the house.
"And you sat there all night?" Yuseke asked.
"Hiei did," Shiroi, answered, "I feel asleep."
"Figures Hiei would," Yuseke mumbled.
"If it makes you happy," Shiroi said, "I messed with his head."
"I thought that was impossible?" Kuwabara asked.
Shiroi shook her head, "You just have to get him the right subject."
"Shut up Shiroi," Hiei muttered. "Don't forget, I messed with your head too, on the same thing."
Shiroi blushed, "Well, at least I got you so confused that you accused yourself of being a Peeping Tom."
Everyone start laughing.
"Hiei, a Peeping Tom?" Yuseke asked laughing, "Why am I not surprised?"
"I never said he was," Shiroi said. "I just said that I got him to call himself one."
"Still," Yuseke said, still laughing, "That's pretty good."
"So you two teased each other all night," Elder Sansa said, "Is that it?"
Shiroi blushed, "Uh...Well..."
"Okay what happened?" Yuseke asked. He looked at Hiei, "What did you do?"
"He didn't do anything Yuseke," Shiroi said, jumping to Hiei's defense.
"Told you he wouldn't," Kurama said.
"He just kissed me," Shiroi stated.
"Huh?" Everyone asked.
"You're kidding?" Botan asked.
Shiroi shook her head, loving the shocked looks on their faces.
"Are you serious?" Kuwabara asked, still not believing it.
Shiroi nodded, "Twice if you want to know."
"Ta-da," Yuseke chanted. "We all know what's happening next."
Shiroi blushed and Yuseke glared at him. "Don't get too excited Yuseke," Hiei warned, raising his sword, "I may have to do something about it."
Yuseke laughed, "Yeah, sure, whatever you say Hiei."
The fire demon glared at him, but couldn't stop the light blush that appeared on his cheeks.
Kurama chuckled, "Oh well, lets stop teasing them about it."
"But it's fun," Yuseke said, but then got quite when the half demon glared at him.
Hiei wanted to go take a nap, since he had been awake all night, and hadn't gotten much sleep in the past few days. He looked at Shiroi, who seemed to want to do the same thing. "Are we done?" Hiei asked.
"Yes," Kurama answered.
"Good," Hiei answered as he got to his feet, "I'm going to go take a nap." He walked out of the living room and down the small hallway to the room Sansa had given him and shut the door.
"Aw," Botan said, "He didn't even kiss Shiroi goodbye."
Shiroi blushed deeply. "Very funny Botan."
Botan grinned, "When was the last time I teased you?"
Shiroi thought for a moment, "A while ago."
"Then I was due for this."
Shiroi rolled her eyes.
***
Shiroi didn't see Hiei for the rest of the say, but that was partly her fault anyway. She had gone into her room and had fallen asleep until past noon, and then had gone back to sleep after being forced into eating lunch. She still had energy to recover, both spiritual and physical.
When she woke again, it was nearly six. She managed to force down some dinner, and went straight back to bed. She heard Botan come in later in the evening, and woke up to see what was going on.
"Opps," Botan whispered, "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you." She had changed into her nightclothes.
Shiroi shook her head, "It's okay; I was only half asleep any way."
Botan sat down on her bed and grinned, "So," she whispered, "What was it like?"
"Huh?" Shiroi asked.
"The kiss," Botan answered. "How was it?"
Shiroi couldn't help but smile, "It was much better than when my father did it to me."
"I would hope so," Botan whispered loudly. "That was... Oh I'm not even going to say it. Hiei loves you, that's why."
"I know," Shiroi replied. "He insisted on holding me to keep me warm. After a while, that's when it really hit me that he loved me. I'm still a little unsure about how the feeling works myself, but I know it'll get clearer pretty soon."
Botan grinned. "Good. Actually, in all honesty, I was hoping you would say yes to him."
Shiroi raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
Botan shrugged, "I don't know, maybe because I thought you two would look cute together."
Shiroi blushed. "Did you see him at all today?"
Botan shook her head, "He didn't leave his room. Kurama even went and knocked on his door, but he didn't answer."
Shiroi sighed, "I hope he's okay."
"Don't worry," Botan said, "It's normal for Hiei to isolate himself for awhile. He did it for days a time before we met you, but a lot of times he was training during that time. Maybe we'll find out in the morning."
Shiroi nodded and they both went to sleep.
***
The next morning, Shiroi woke up early and went up to the roof to think. (What's going to happen now?) She wondered. (I knew things would be different when Hiei first told me he loved me, and no things are probably going to change even more.)
She looked around; men were up clearing snow from the roads and in front of their homes, normal everyday work. (Ever since we got here, we've been nothing more than trouble to these people. I really think we should leave, but I don't enough power to take everyone home.)
"Up here again?"
Shiroi turned around to see Kurama standing behind her. "Just thinking."
Kurama came over and kicked some snow away to clear a spot so he could sit, and sat down next to her. "Want to talk about it?"
Shiroi sighed, "Well, it's not just one thing."
"What one is most in your mind?" Kurama asked.
Shiroi eyed him, "You know."
Kurama smiled, "Well, what about it?"
Shiroi sighed, "Aren't things going to be different, now that I've answered Hiei?"
"Probably," Kurama answered, "But probably not a lot. When things get to public for Hiei, he stops it."
Shiroi nodded, "I can imagine him doing it."
Kurama smiled and ruffled the woman's hair. "You worry too much. Everything's going to be just fine. To tell you the truth, I think Koenma was hoping for this too."
"I wouldn't be surprised," Shiroi said.
"What are you doing Kurama?" They both looked up to see Hiei standing on the chimney.
Kurama wrapped an arm around Shiroi, "Stealing your girlfriend," he answered.
Shiroi giggled at the look on Hiei's face.
The demon shook his head and hopped off the chimney and landed on the roof next to them.
Kurama chuckled and let go of Shiroi. He got to his feet, "I'll trust you to behave Hiei," he said as he turned and hopped off the roof.
"Very funny Kurama," Hiei muttered. He watched the demon enter the house, and then sat down next to Shiroi. "Just as a simple question, but how long have we been here?"
Shiroi thought for a second. "A week, maybe a little longer. Why, want to go home?"
"I wouldn't mind it," Hiei muttered.
Shiroi giggled, "Well if you want to go home so badly then you're going to have to contact Koenma, since I don't even have enough power transport myself home."
Hiei made a face, "I'll wait."
"Then you might be waiting a while," Shiroi said. "I've still a lot of energy to recover. This may take a few more weeks, if nothing else happens."
Hiei groaned, pretty much giving it away that he wanted to go home. "That's not going to be fun."
"It's why I suggested Koenma," Shiroi said. "It's much easier."
Hiei eyed her, "I'll think about it. But I'm not leaving without you."
"I figured," Shiroi replied.
Hiei smiled, and then stole a quick kiss from her before going back inside.
