Chapter 32
"I feel woozy," Kuwabara moaned.
"Because your spirit energy has been drained," Kurama explained. "Shiroi must have tapped our stores to get us home." He looked over at the woman; her back was turned to them.
They had arrived at the bottom of the steps that led to the temple. Without saying a word, Shiroi started up the stairs. She heard the others follow her, and didn't stop until she reached the top of the stairs.
"You're back," Genkai said from where she sat on the steps to the shrine. "Is something wrong?" she asked when she saw the bleak looks on their faces.
"Let them explain," Shiroi said. "I'm going to my room to sleep."
Genkai watched her go, and then turned her attention toward the boys, "What happened?"
The five exchanged glances with each other, and then explained all that had happened while they were at Shiroi's village.
"I can see why Sansa doesn't want you two to marry," Genkai said after they were finished. "I know it sounds cruel and unfair, but you do have to look at it from his point of view."
"You're not against it too are you?" Yuseke asked.
Genkai glared at her former student, "Of course I'm not you dimwit, I'm just pointing out things that all of you have over looked."
"She does have a point," Kurama said, "Even if it is one we do not wish to hear. From Elder Sansa's point of view, all he's seen come out of demon apparition relationship is pain and sorrow. He knows Shiroi's been through plenty of that is her life, and he doesn't want her to experience anymore."
"But he knows Hiei isn't like Raimeihi," Botan said, still not really believing that she was defending the midget demon.
"Perhaps he doesn't," Kurama said. "What he said about Raimeihi, Hiei has also done. It's very ironic how these two have a lot in common, including their taste in women."
Hiei glared at the fox demon as the others laughed. "I don't think that's the point of discussion Kurama," he grumbled.
Kurama chuckled, "Yes well, my point being is that Elder Sansa is worried that something may happen to Shiroi that none of us can control, and Hiei will respond to it like Raimeihi did when Naoru died."
"But I won't!" Hiei yelled.
"We know you won't," Kurama replied calmly, "but Sansa doesn't, and I don't know if it's possible to convince him of that."
Genkai sighed, "Well, I believe we've all mulled over this situation enough for one day. I'm sure many of you are past due to be home."
Yuseke glared at her, grumbling under his breath.
"Genkai's right," Botan said as she got to her feet. "I have to go back to spirit world and check in with Koenma. Once he knows I'm back, he'll probably have a mission or something for us to do."
They all nodded, and Kurama, Yuseke, and Kuwabara left the shrine down the stairs as Botan took off on her oar.
That left Hiei to do as he wished, and he just wandered into the forest.

Shiroi didn't leave her room for the rest of the day, nor until very late the next day.
"I'm guessing they explained everything in detail to you?" Shiroi asked she approached Genkai.
The old woman nodded, "Very detailed. I'm sorry about what happened, maybe your friends in the village will find some way to fix it."
Shiroi shrugged and sat down. "I don't know." She rubbed her temples, "I finally get something out of my life, something I thought I could have forever, and then it gets snatched away."
"You're not the only one who feels that way."
The two looked up to see Hiei standing nearby.
"Hello Hiei," Shiroi said.
The demon hopped onto the porch and sat down next to her. He badly wanted to kiss her, but he didn't want to do it with the old hag sitting right next to them.
"That reminds me," Genkai said suddenly. "Hiei, from this point on I want you back in the forest by eight o'clock."
"Why?" Hiei asked.
Genkai glared at him, "You know perfectly well why." She turned her gaze to Shiroi, "And that goes same for you, Shiroi. If you're in the forest, you must be back in the shrine by then."
"What if we're both in the shrine at that time under your eye," Shiroi asked.
Genkai eyed her. "Depends on how I feel."
Shiroi giggled and Hiei rolled his eyes.
"All right," Genkai said. "But that's the only time that I'll allow Hiei to stay late."
Shiroi smiled at Hiei, whom hid his feelings by just looking the other way, but he knew Shiroi knew how he felt.
***
That night, while Shiroi lay in her bed, she thought about might what have happened if Sansa had not denied them.
-So, thinking the same thing I am? - Hiei's voice suddenly chimed in her mind.
-Hiei, - Shiroi sent back, -should you really be doing this? -
-Genkai didn't specify telepathy, - the fire demon said. -Anyway, even if she had, I wouldn't have obeyed anyway. -
-So what makes her think that you'll obey her new rule? - Shiroi asked.
It's either that, - Hiei explained, -or I risk getting blamed for something and banned from seeing you at all. -
-I think I get it, - Shiroi replied. -I'll see you in the morning Hiei, okay? -
-Might as well, - Hiei answered. -All right, see you in the morning then. -
Shiroi smiled, and rolled over and fell asleep.
The next morning, Shiroi woke up early and remembered something. (I forgot about the wind chime I got for Genkai.) She got dressed and went out to see of the old woman was up yet.
She was, and Shiroi tiptoed back to her room and brought the chime back out.
Genkai heard the clicking of muffled chimes and turned to see Shiroi walking toward her, a wind chime in her hands. "Where did that come from?" the old psychic asked.
Shiroi smiled, "The Autumn Festival at my village," Shiroi answered. "I saw this wind chime and I thought you might like it."
Genkai smiled, "I won't even ask what made you think that I would need trinket like that, but since it's you, lets have a look at it."
"What do you mean by trinket?" Shiroi asked, a little offended.
"I didn't mean it that way," Genkai said as she took the chime from Shiroi. The theme of the chime was a dream catcher, but it was the basic model of most wind chimes. "This is nice, and the people of you village make these by hand?"
Shiroi nodded, "They're very good at it."
Genkai nodded and looked around for a place where she could hang the chime. "Perhaps just outside the shrine."
Shiroi nodded, "Sounds good to me."
"I already have a hook there," Genkai said. "From a previous wind chime, but Yuseke shattered it while he was training with me."
Shiroi giggled, "Boys will be boys."
"Very true," Genkai muttered as they reached the shrine.
Shiroi offered to hang it, and with the little energy she had, she quickly floated up to the hook and hung the chime.
"Looks good," Genkai said as she Shiroi landed. "Thank you."
Shiroi smiled and nodded.
The old woman groaned, "I'm rather surprised Hiei hasn't shown himself yet this morning. I was expecting him to be here as soon as you were awake."
Shiroi looked around the bushes, and the smiled. She raised her hand, and with a single beckoning gesture, Hiei's body tumbled out of a nearby bush. "He's been here," Shiroi, said, "He just hasn't felt like showing himself."
Hiei grumbled as he got to his feet, "I thought you didn't have any energy left?"
"I have a little," Shiroi answered. "But only just enough to do simple tasks, nothing big like battling a giant winged serpent for instance."
Hiei shuddered, "Shut up about those things."
Shiroi giggled, "Why, do you have nightmares about them?" Genkai laughed as Hiei turned a deep red.
"I guess that means yes," Genkai laughed.
Hiei glared at the old woman as the blush faded. "I'd like to see you face one of those things and not have nightmares."
Genkai grinned, "I think I'll pass. Knowing that you have nightmares about it is perfect entertainment for me." She laughed again as Hiei glared at her.
"You're asking for it," Hiei grumbled under his breath, but took the threat back when Shiroi glared dangerously at him.
Genkai got her laughter under control, "You act like a little puppy dog when Shiroi's around."
Hiei glared at the old psychic, but Shiroi said, "Leave him alone Genkai. He's not the only one who's afraid of those serpents."
"That wasn't what I was talking about Shiroi," Genkai giggled.
"I know it wasn't," Shiroi replied, an annoyed glint in her eyes.
Genkai shut up, but she still had an amused glint in her eyes that Hiei really wanted to make disappear.
Shiroi noticed it, and cleared her throat. Genkai sighed and walked off, bored now that her fun was over.
As soon as she was out of sight, Hiei approached Shiroi and bent to kiss her, but just before his lips touched hers, Genkai poked her head around the corner, "No kissing!"
Hiei flung himself backwards in surprise; Shiroi covered her face with her hand to hide her bright red blush.

Author's Note: Hey, sorry for the slow updating, I've been sick these past few days. This may be the last chapter for a while, I'm expecting an extremely busy next two weeks, but I hope to get more chapters up during winter break, I have three weeks off for that, which means I should have plenty of time to do this stuff. A cute way to end this chapter, but it is a little boring, sorry. Review me and tell me what you think. And thanks for those long replies, that's what I've been wanting to see.
