Chapter 34
Shiroi pondered what her friend had said about Takken, about what he had done with his past.
'Apparently Takken put that part of his past behind him.'
That statement kept running through her head. (If Takken was able to put me out of his mind two years ago, then can he do it again? Can he forget about what happened so long ago, and there could be peace between us?)
-I doubt that. -
Shiroi sat up, her blankets slipping off of her. -Oh Hiei, you startled me. How long have you been listening? -
-Since Anada told you about her involvement with Takken, - he answered.
Shiroi sighed. -You know, if I told Genkai about this, she'd beat your hide until there was nothing left of you. -
-That's why she won't know, - Hiei answered, a smirk in his mind voice.
-I hope so, - Shiroi replied. -But then again, - a sly grin spread across her lips, -it would be funny to watch her chase you around with those intentions. -
-Do you want her to beat me? - Hiei asked.
-No, - Shiroi answered. -I just think it's funny to imagine it. -
-I'm sure Genkai would find it hysterical, - Hiei grumbled.
Shiroi giggled, -You take things too seriously, I was just kidding anyways. -
-I would hope so, - Hiei replied. -Wanting Genkai to beat me really doesn't show your feelings for me. -
Shiroi smiled. -But as I just said, I was kidding. -
-Yeah whatever, - Hiei muttered. -Well, I'm guessing if I don't leave you alone pretty soon, you will tell Genkai, so I'll let you go to sleep now. -
-That would be nice, - Shiroi said. -Night Hiei. -
***
The next morning, Shiroi woke up at an insanely early hour. Since there was nothing for her to do in the temple, she pulled on her shoes and headed into the forest to find Hiei.
She hoped to find him asleep, and she did. He was sitting in a tree, about twenty feet off the ground. (Guess nothing could get him up there,) she thought, (unless the monster was really good at climbing, or like me, could fly.)
She rose silently into the air and floated up to Hiei. He didn't even stir when she floated up next to him. She landed on the rest of the branch that Hiei's body wasn't using, not even making it quiver when her feet touched it.
(He shouldn't sleep so soundly,) Shiroi thought to herself, grinning. (Maybe I should mess with his head.)
She grinned mischievously and jumped off the branch with more than enough force to wake Hiei.
"What the?" Hiei snapped awake and drew his sword, eyes darting in every direction, but he didn't see anyone.
Shiroi stood behind the tree at the base, smothering giggles with her hand. She listened to him curse at himself for sleeping so soundly and heard him jump down from the branch.
She didn't want him to find her, so she jumped silently back into the tree and watched him from a branch. He stayed in a guard stance, and she guessed he was sensing around for some sort of energy aura, but she had hers masked, so he would never sense it.
To add to the confusion, she formed a snowball in her hand and tossed it, using her wind to guide it and make it land right on Hiei's head.
The fire demon yelped when the snow hit him, but when he realized what it was, he stared at it dumbly. "Snow?" He asked aloud. There wasn't a single dash of snow anywhere, so where had this coming from? The he figured it out. He turned around, "Shiroi," he muttered.
"Yes?"
He yelped and turned around to the direction he had just been facing.
"You called?" the woman asked mischievously.
Hiei glared at her, "What was that for?"
"To teach you not to sleep so soundly," Shiroi answered. "Have you learned now?"
Hiei rolled his eyes. "What are you doing up so early?" he asked, not answering her question.
"I just woke up," Shiroi answered. "I couldn't go back to sleep, so I came out here."
"To torment me?" Hiei asked.
Shiroi giggled, "Not initially. But when I saw you and I came up to you and you didn't even stir, I figured that a little surprise was well in order."
Hiei gave her a look of annoyance, but said nothing.
Shiroi's smiled disappeared, "Are you mad at me for doing that?"
Hiei's head snapped up, "No, I was just thinking. If you were able to sneak up on me while I was asleep, that means I have some training to do. I've gotten too used to sleeping indoors at your village and I've forgotten that I can be attack outside."
"Sounds like you're getting lazy," Shiroi said.
Hiei grimaced, "I have training to do," he muttered.
"Maybe I'll join you," Shiroi said.
"I thought you were going to spend the day with Anada?" Hiei asked.
Shiroi sighed, "You're right, I did. Well, maybe I can train with you until she wakes up?"
"How will you know when she wakes up?" Hiei asked.
Shiroi grinned, "Well, not necessarily Anada, more like Genkai. When she wakes up and finds that I'm not in the temple, she'll probably come looking for me here in the forest."
Hiei nodded, "That's a good point. She's been watching you like a hawk since we came from you're village."
Shiroi smiled, and then took a guard stance and summoned an energy sword. "Well, lets get started."
Hiei grinned, drew his own sword, and they got started.
***
Anada woke up before Genkai, and went to find Shiroi in her room. When she saw that her friend wasn't there, she wondered where she might be.
"I should have guessed that she went out when she woke up," Anada said to herself.
"Is something the matter?"
Anada jumped in surprise, and turned around to see Genkai. "Oh, Master Genkai. No, nothing's wrong, I was just looking for Shiroi, but she doesn't appear to be in her room."
Genkai raised an eyebrow. "She's not in her room is she?" the old woman asked. "Well, I guess we should go find her."
"Do you know where she is?" Anada asked.
"I have a hunch," Genkai answered. "There's some active spirit energy going on in the forest, and I'm guessing some of it belongs to Shiroi."
"Could she be fighting something?"
Genkai shook her head, "I don't think so. Come with me, I have an idea of what she's doing." The old woman led the younger one into the forest. She followed the energy waves until they arrived in a clearing. "Just as I thought."
Anada watched as Shiroi dodged a sword assault from Hiei and drenched him with a blast of water. "Seems like Shiroi has a bit of an advantage."
"Of course she does," Genkai said. "She may not have a lot of physical strength, but her mental and spiritual strength are remarkable."
"Wow," Anada whispered as she watched Hiei attempt a spiral sword attack on Shiroi, but the woman blocked it by erecting a thick pane of ice.
Hiei yanked his sword out, but the slightly preoccupied demon didn't notice the pane of ice curling over his head and forming a bubble around him until he turned around and noticed that his way was blocked. He tried teleporting out, but received a mental blow like a hammer on his head when he tried.
He shook the lights out of his eyes and tried shattering the his semi-circle prison, but trying to break through Shiroi's ice pane was like trying to break through a solid wall of concrete with a nail.
"Give up?" Shiroi asked as she leaned forward against the prison, grinning teasingly.
Hiei glared at her, and raised his right hand as black flames shimmered in his palm.
Shiroi realized what he was doing and took down the barrier, but then blew him backwards into the pond right next to them with her wind. "That should put that fire out," she said as she walked to the edge of the bank as Hiei broke the surface of the water and spat water out.
"What was Hiei about to do?" Anada asked Genkai.
"He was threatening to use his Dragon if the Darkness Flame," Genkai answered. "Of course, that was a foolish idea. A shielded barrier like Shiroi's will not let anything penetrate it unless Shiroi allows it, and so if Hiei had been able to go through with the attack, he would have been burnt to a cinder."
"I have a hard time believing that he didn't know that," Anada said.
"He knew," Genkai said. "He knew starting to use the technique would make Shiroi bring the barrier down, but he wasn't expecting the blow into the water. Knowing a person's emotions doesn't always help in a fight."
"So his idea was that Shiroi would noticed that he was going to use that attack inside barrier and would take it down because she wouldn't want him to get hurt from his own attack," Anada suggested.
"That's correct," Genkai answered. "See where the emotion ties in?"
Anada nodded, and then looked up as Shiroi helped Hiei out of the pond. "So, they were just training, right?"
Genkai nodded, "But from this little training experience, I'm sure Hiei knows now that he is not match for Shiroi." She walked forward, "Are you two finished?"
Shiroi had been drying off Hiei using her water summoning abilities and had just tossed the water back into the water when Genkai spoke. "I guess," she answered as she turned around. She glanced at Hiei, "I told this would happen."
Hiei shrugged and picked up his sword that he had left behind during his unexpected to toss into the pond. After he sheathed it, he picked up his coat. "See you later," he said, and vanished from sight.
Shiroi sighed, "So, I'm guessing you came looking for me because Anada couldn't find me in my room?"
"That pretty much sums it up," Genkai answered. "Come on, let's go back to the temple." Shiroi nodded and they headed back.
***
After Shiroi changed her clothes, she found Anada and Genkai sitting on the steps just outside the shrine.
"Should I contact Botan now?" Shiroi asked Anada.
"Huh?" her friend asked.
"Did you forget?" Shiroi asked. "Botan and a few friends of mine and myself were going to show you around today."
"Oh," Anada said, "I guess I did forget."
Shiroi smiled, "So, would you like to go?"
Anada nodded, "Yeah, I'd like to see what this place looks like and how different it is from home."
"Then be prepared to be overwhelmed," Genkai said. "From what Shiroi has told me about your village, it's so different from here it's like you're living in a different time period."
Anada's eyes widened, "It's that different?" she asked her friend.
Shiroi nodded, "Completely different. It might be even too much for you."
"Well we'll see," Anada said. "I'm so excited I can hardly sit still now."
Shiroi smiled, "Then let me go and contact Botan and a few others and we'll be on our way when they get here."

Author's Note: Hey guys, was there something wrong with the review thing or something, or did you guys just not read it? Or was it so boring you just didn't feel like reviewing me? Not meaning to whine that I didn't get any reviews or anything, I was just wondering if there was a problem or something. Well, I hope this chapter is better. Review me and tell me what you think, pretty please.
