Chapter 31
Shiroi took them ice-skating later on that day. Botan had declined and stayed at Elder Sansa's.
She was hoping to talk to Nana about the way she healed and things like that, but when the elderly apparition came over, Sansa took her aside right away. Botan, being more curious than a cat, snuck up to where they were talking and sat there and listened.
"I don't see what you find so wrong about it Sansa," Nana said.
"You don't see?" Sansa asked. "Do you not remember the last night we allowed a demon from the outside to marry one of our girls?"
"Of course I remember," Nana, answered, "I have a dream of it every other night. Hiei is not Raimeihi, and I know you know that."
Botan gasped silently. (They're talking about Hiei and Shiroi,) she thought. (Does Sansa not want them to be together because of what happened to Naoru and Raimeihi?) She listened some more.
"But they saw it in the Spirit Flame," Nana said, "How can you deny that?"
"I can't," Sansa answered. "But there is one thing I can do that I do not want to."
"And what's that?" Nana asked.
"If Shiroi joins with Hiei," Sansa said, "I will have to banish them both from this village."
"Sansa that's crazy talk," Nana exclaimed. "How can you banish a woman from her home, and just for someone she loves?"
"I don't want to take the risk of Raimeihi happening again," Sansa answered.
"Hiei is not Raimeihi," Nana said, "How many times must I tell you this. Hiei protected the entire town from the winged serpents."
"And Raimeihi defended our home more than once," Sansa said. "It's the same thing. Raimeihi defeated a threat to our village, got injured, and Naoru nursed him back to health. She fell in love with him; and you saw how that turned out. I don't want that happening again. I don't want to see Shiroi die at the hands of demon."
Nana sighed, "Hiei killed Raimeihi, I don't believe Raimeihi had to kill Naoru's father because he was a threat to her."
"I know that," Sansa said, "but my mind had already been made. If Shiroi does devote her life to Hiei, I will banish them both."
Botan didn't stay to hear anymore. She went to her room to ponder what she had just heard. (I have to tell Shiroi,) she thought to herself. (I can't let Sansa tell her. I know even I tell her she'll be hurt, but I guess it'll be better than letting him tell her.)
She shook her head, not wanting to believe it. (Either way, she'll be upset, and I don't even want to imagine what Hiei will do.) She shuddered at the thought. (Guess I'd better go and tell her.)
She got up and left her room. As she was about to leave the house, Elder Sansa walked by and asked, "Where are you going Botan?"
"Huh?" Botan spun around. "Oh, just down to the lake and go ice-skating. I changed my mind about just stay inside, besides it's much more entertaining to watch the boys fall down." She knew she was babbling, and she knew Sansa knew too.
"Is there something wrong Botan?" Elder Sansa asked.
"Wrong?" Botan asked. "No, nothing's wrong."
"Were you listening outside the room while I was talking to Nan?" he asked.
"Me?" Botan asked, "Oh no, of course I wasn't listening. I don't know anything about how you don't want Shiroi and Hiei to marry and how you'll refuse to allow them to marry." She clasped her hands over her mouth, but that wasn't the worst part of it.
While she had been speaking, Shiroi and the guys had arrived where standing just off the porch, not believing what they were hearing.
"Is this true?"
Botan whipped around, the speaker had been Shiroi, and she looked very stunned. Botan took her hands from her mouth, and pointed to Sansa, "Ask him, he'll tell you better than I can, since I still can't believe it myself."
Shiroi's eyes rested on the Elder. Her eyes held the question of why, and it broke Sansa's heart that he felt they way he did about it, but he would not change his mind. He had seen to much heartbreak from a demon, and he wouldn't allow anymore.
"It's true," Sansa answered. "I do not want you to commit you life to Hiei."
"Oh don't be so soft," Nana said as she burst through the door. "Say it exactly how you said it to me, or do you not have the heart to say it?"
Sansa opened his mouth to answer, but no sound came out.
Nana continued, "He said he refused to allow you two to marry. He doesn't want what happened with Raimeihi and Naoru to happen again."
"But Hiei is nothing like my father," Shiroi said. "You know that Elder," she said to Sansa.
"Raimeihi defended our village just as Hiei has done," Sansa said. "That's how you mother fell in love with him. He had been injured in a battle, and she nursed him back to health, falling in love with him in the process. Does that sound at all familiar to you?"
Shiroi gasped. Right as the young serpent had bitten Hiei, she couldn't imagine her life without him, and had healed as fast as her power could. She had discovered her love for him then, and had been scared that she would lose him as soon as she realized it.
Sansa continued, "I saw too much pain out of that marriage, and I don't want to see it happen to you."
"But Hiei is nit my father," Shiroi argued. "Raimeihi didn't have to kill her father because he was abusing her. He didn't have to kill her father at all, my mother's father was happy to know that she would have the best protection he could imagine."
"And look how it all turned out," Sansa countered. "Your mother is dead and your father had to be killed. I do not want to see the same threat happening to you. I don't even want to chance it."
"But-" Shiroi started.
"Enough!" Sansa yelled. "My decision if final. If you are to stay with Hiei, I will banish both of you from this village. I will not let you sell your life at the risk of what happened to your parents."
Shiroi stood there, stunned. How could the man that was like a grandfather to her do this? He should know that Hiei would never do to her what her father did. Hiei had proven it right when he had killed Raimeihi.
Something odd filled her heart, a feeling that she hadn't felt in years for a person. She had felt it last toward her father, and it wasn't fear. It was hatred. Hatred toward Sansa, for taking away the one thing she thought she would never have in her life because of who she was and what had happened to her.
She met Elder Sansa's eyes again, but this time the burned with anger, she did not allow the hate to shine through, nor the pain in her broken heart. "Get you things," she said to her friends, "we're leaving."
"But-" Hiei started. Shiroi had just told him this morning she didn't even have the energy to transport herself home.
"Do as I say," Shiroi interrupted him, not even turning to look at him. "Meet me at the entrance to the village when you're ready."
It wasn't the anger in her voice that caused everyone to move, it was the hurt in her heart. They all quickly went inside and packed what little they had brought with them.
Shiroi left before all of them, but just as her foot left the last step, she heard Anada and Tana behind her.
"Shiroi," Anada said, "Why are you packed? I thought you didn't have the energy to transport everyone back?"
"I do," Shiroi, answered, he voice so controlled that it scared the two women. "Something has come up, and we have to leave." She didn't wait to hear their replies; she just left to the village entrance.
Her friends came out soon after, Nana following them out.
"What happened?" Tana asked Nana.
Nana looked at them, her face sad with lose. "Sansa does not want Shiroi to commit herself to Hiei, he refuses to allow them to marry, and he said that he will banish them from the village if they do."
The two women gasped.
"But," Anada started, "Why?"
"He doesn't want to risk what happened to her parents to happen again," Nana answered.
"But he knows that Hiei isn't like Raimeihi was," Tana said.
"Of course he knows," Nana said, "but like I said, he doesn't want to risk it."
"No," Anada said. She looked up, Shiroi and her friends were nearly at the entrance. "No, Shiroi!" She and Tana started running toward the entrance, Nana following behind them as fast as she could go. "Shiroi wait!"
Shiroi stopped and turned to look at her childhood friends. She waited until the two women and Nana caught up to them.
"Stay here," Anada said. "We'll go back at talk to Elder Sansa, we can change his mind I know we can."
Shiroi looked at her old friend, "When Elder Sansa makes up his mind," she said quietly, "he doesn't change it." She looked up; she could see Sansa standing on his porch, looking out toward them.
"There has to be some way," Tana said.
Shiroi shook her head, "If he doesn't want it, then it won't happen." She continued to stare and Sansa. "If he's going to banish us, then we'll just leave now, to spare him the trouble of making it formal."
"But," Anada started, "Will you ever come back?"
Shiroi kept her eyes where she set them. "I don't know," she answered. The emotion she felt in her heart was screaming to escape, but she held herself in check. She didn't want the one that betrayed her to see how she truly felt about it.
She took one last look at her childhood friends and caretaker. She wanted to say something to each of them, but she knew if she opened her mouth again, she wouldn't able to hold in her emotions anymore.
Instead, she gathered up the little power she had, and then drew the rest of the power from her friends that now stood behind her and waited until she was ready to leave. She would explain to them why she drew energy from them when they got home, because she knew they could feel her slowly taking their power from them, even if she didn't say she was doing it.
With one last glance up at Sansa, Shiroi imagined the temple in her mind, and transported herself and her friends back home.

Author's Note: Sorry, this one's a little short. Rather dramatic huh? So what's going to happen next? I know, but you have to wait until I post the next chapter, which I hope will be soon, for your guys' sake. Review me and tell me what you think. And like I said last time, make your reviews longer!
