Chapter 40
Two days later, those same people found themselves walking into Shiroi's village.
"So this is it?" Shiziru asked. "Interesting place."
"It almost reminds me of feudal times," Keiko said as she looked around.
"Keep an eye out for Takken and his gang," Yuseke said. "He'll defiantly be wanting to see Anada again, but what mood he'll be in when he finds us is something none of us can guess."
"I've been gone for over a week," Anada said. "I'm sure he'll just be glad to see me alive and well."
"Let's hope that's the case and completely ignores us," Kurama said.
"Oh Anada you're back!" A woman came running up to them. They recognized her as the priestess, apparently she had been the one that had give Anada the transportation permission to go and find Shiroi. "We were beginning to wonder if you had made it to the right place and if you would ever return to us."
"Well I'm back and as you can see I was successful," Anada said. She handed the priestess the transport stone. "Please tell me my husband didn't cause too much racket when he found out I was gone?"
The priestess sighed. "He took it like a dragon to an intruder in its territory. Thankfully he didn't demand me to allow him to go after you."
"Oh dear," Anada whispered. "I just hope he doesn't act that way when he sees everyone again."
"We can only hope," the priestess said. "Come, lets get you all the Elder Sansa's house and get things a little more organized."
"I should probably go home," Anada said. "It'll stall him if he hasn't left the house yet."
The priestess nodded and Anada went ahead of them. "Shiroi, you know where to go, I don't need to lead you all do I?"
Shiroi shook her head, "No, you go back home, the sooner you're away from us, the better chance you'll have of avoiding a confrontation with Takken." The priestess nodded and went on her way. "Lets go."
"Who's Elder Sansa?" Keiko asked.
"Seems as though Yuseke didn't tell you everything did he?" Botan asked. Yuseke groaned and looked in a different direction. "You'll see pretty soon," Botan said to Keiko.
They made it to Elder Sansa's house, and to none of their surprise, the old man was standing on the porch waiting for them.
"I saw Anada go by and I figured you wouldn't be far behind," Sansa said.
"You figured right," Shiroi replied. She noticed the unhappy glint in his eyes, and knew that he had not wanted to change his mind, but he wanted to stop being harassed by the three women and gave in. "It is good to see you again, Elder Sansa."
The old man nodded, "Come inside and drop your stuff off. I expect Tana and Nana to be here soon."
He was right. Not long after they had gone inside did someone knock on the door, and it did turn out to be Tana and Nana.
"We were so excited when we saw Anada that we had to come over," Tana said as Nana hugged Shiroi. "So how are you feeling? When you left you were still getting over the injuries you obtained."
"I'm fine," Shiroi said. "Like they never happened."
"I see you've brought two more people," Nana said. "Will you introduce us?"
Shiroi smiled, "Shiziru is Kuwabara's older sister, and Keiko is Yuseke's girlfriend, and a good friend of mine."
"You said you lived with someone named Genkai," Tana said. "Is she coming later?"
Shiroi's group looked away.
"Genkai passed away a few days ago," Kurama said. "None of us have completely gotten over it yet."
"Oh what a shame," Nana said. "And I was hoping to meet the woman who took such good care of you."
"Sorry," Shiroi apologized. "There are some things I just can't control."
"That's all right don't worry about it," Tana said. "Thinking about it right now probably isn't the best thing. There are more important things to think about."
Shiroi smiled and glanced at Hiei, whom was looking in a different direction on purpose. "Yep, there are more important things to think about."
"Yeah such as Takken," Yuseke said as he looked out the window. "That guy just won't give up will he?"
"Might as well get this over with," Shiroi said as she opened the door. "What do you want Takken? Anada's back safe and sound, isn't that all that matters?"
Takken growled, and was about to open his mouth to speak, when all of a sudden Shiziru pushed herself forward. "My brother told me about you," she said as she stomped down the steps. She grabbed Takken's collar. "Listen buster, if I find out that you hurt Shiroi anymore than you already have, I'll make sure my baby bro and his friends kick your ass all the way to the moon, got that?"
"Shiziru really knows how to you at 'em," Kuwabara said. "Hell yeah sis, I'll be happy to do it."
Shiziru winked at her brother, and turned back to Takken. "Have I made myself perfectly clear?"
Takken smirked, and snapped his fingers, and his cronies appeared behind him.
"Oh, so you're afraid to take me on by yourself?" Shiziru asked. "Are you that much of a coward?"
"I'm not coward lady," Takken said. "I'm one of the protectors of this city."
"Oh really?" Shiziru asked as she gripped his collar with both hands and lifted him a foot off the ground. "Then why did you call your buddies here for back up huh? If you're so strong, a woman like me should be easy."
"Hey!" Takken yelled, "Put me down."
"Only if you promise that you'll leave Shiroi alone," Shiziru said. "And I'll promise that if I find out that you have harmed her, I'll get my baby bro and his friends to kick your ass to the moon, just like I said before, do we have a deal?"
Takken glared at her, but said, "Fine, you gotta deal."
Shiziru smiled and dropped him. She looked at the rest of the guys, "Nice meeting you," she said and went back up the steps. "I think I finished things for you," she said to Shiroi as she went into the house.
"Looks like she had everything under control," Kuwabara said. He grinned and turned back to Takken and his group. "You hear that, you guys better behave, or we're kicking your asses!"
Takken spat on the ground, but then he and his cronies walked away.
"I don't think we have to worry about them anymore," Kurama said as they watched them disappear.
"That will be a nice change," Shiroi said.
***
Later that evening, it was decided that the girls would stay at Tana's house and the guys would stay at Elder Sansa's.
"See you boys in the morning," Botan said as they left to go to Tana's. Once they arrived, the meet Tana's husband, Mishiro.
"It's nice to meet you," Mishiro said. "I come from another village rather far from here, so I've only heard stories from Tana about you Shiroi. I was away visiting my home village the last time you were here, I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet you the first time."
Shiroi smiled, "It's nice to meet you too, Mishiro."
Mishiro smiled and Tana showed them where they would be staying.
"Might want to get to bed soon," Tana said. "Preparations start tomorrow."
"Already?" Shiroi asked. "But we only just got here, can't we just relax a day or two before we get started?"
Tana shook her head, "It's the deal we made with Sansa, sorry."
"What preparations?" Botan asked. "What are you talking about?"
Tana giggled, "You'll find out tomorrow." She closed the door and left the four of them alone.
"This is a nice place," Keiko said.
"It is when you ignore Takken," Shiroi said. She turned to Shiziru, "Thanks again for earlier."
Shiziru winked, "Don't mention it. When Kazuma told me about him I wanted to beat the crap out of him myself, so threatening him like that was something I've wanted to do for a while."
"So what are those preparations Tana was talking about?" Keiko asked.
"For the ceremony," Shiroi answered, a little embarrassed.
"Oh I get it," Shiziru said.
"Yes I do too," Botan smiled. She turned to Keiko, whom nodded in understanding.
"That's not all it means," Shiroi said. "Once preparations start, the couple aren't allowed to see each other until the ceremony."
"Oh my," Botan said giggling, "That's going to be a bit difficult. What do they do, confine you to the house?"
"The woman mostly," Shiroi answered. "But know walls won't stop Hiei."
"Yes his Jagan," Botan said. "Well, what's going to be done about that?"
Shiroi smiled and pulled something out of her pocket. "I came prepared." She held up a bandana, with a black strip running along the center of it. "I made this in advance, knowing that Hiei will use his Jagan to break the rules if he had the chance."
"Very smart," Botan said.
"Since preparations starts tomorrow, so does our isolation," Shiroi said. She held the bandana to Botan, "Can you give that to him for me? Since I won't be able to leave here, unless I'm moved to Nana's place."
"Sure," Botan answered and to the bandana. "This should make things interesting."
***
The next morning, Shiroi stayed at Tana's when the rest of them left to find the guys. It didn't take them long to find them, they were all sitting on Elder Sansa's porch waiting for them.
"Where's Shiroi?" Yuseke asked.
Botan giggled, "She can't come out."
"Why not?" Hiei asked.
"Because it's tradition," Botan answered. "Shiroi explained it to us last night. Apparently they're starting the preparations for your ceremony, and until the ceremony, you two are not allowed to set eyes on each other. Ah, that reminds me." She took the bandana out of her pocket. "Shiroi told me to give this to you," she said as she held out to Hiei. "It has a shield on it so you can't cheat by using your Jagan."
Hiei snorted, but switched bandanas.
"Did she tell you how long preparations take?" Kurama asked.
Botan shook her head, "Nope, but then again, we didn't ask."
"Can other guys see her besides Hiei?" Yuseke asked.
Botan shrugged, "Don't know; that didn't come up either."
Hiei groaned and sat down heavily on the porch step.
"Aw, poor Hiei," Keiko said. "He can't see Shiroi, let's see how he deals with it."
"I can handle it," Hiei grumbled. "I didn't see her for five years, this should be easy."
"Sure Hiei," Yuseke said. "But last time she didn't know you loved her, she didn't love you back, and there wasn't something to look forward to."
Hiei glared at Yuseke, but didn't say anything.
"Look at him pout," Yuseke laughed. "He knows I'm right."
"Don't tease him Yuseke," Kurama said. "Hiei hasn't had it easy this past week."
"That was his own fault," Yuseke pointed out. He looked at Hiei, "You just got really lucky."
Hiei flipped him off and teleported away, tired of being teased.
"You were told Urimeshi," Kuwabara laughed.
"Cut the poor guy some slack," Shiziru said. "This isn't going to be easy for him, since I'm sure he's not used to following rules and tradition."
"Very true," Kurama said. "We should probably try and keep an eye on him whenever possible to make sure he isn't doing anything against the rules."
"Bet by the time the ceremony comes around Hiei's going to hate all of us," Kuwabara said.
"He probably will," Kurama replied.

Author's Note: See, more uplifting, especially when Shiziru lifting Takken into the air. I thought that bring a bit of humor out since the last chapter was so depressing. Poor Hiei, first he gets into that mess and has to figure out how to get Shiroi back, and now that he has her back, he can't see her until the ceremony. Luck just doesn't seem to be on his side. Review me and tell me what you think. Thanks for all of the reviews for the last few chapters.

"Let's hope that's the case and completely ignores us," Kurama said.
