Chapter 4
The girls were up all night, and by morning the girl still didn't regain consciousness.
"I've done all I can," Yukina said finally.
"We just have to wait now," Genkai said. "Lets go outside and get some fresh air," she said. "We've been in here all night, and leaving her for a few minutes won't make a difference." They nodded and got to their feet. They went outside just in time to see Keiko running up the stairs.
"Hey," Keiko called, "How's she doing?"
"She hasn't woken up yet," Botan answered as Keiko approached.
"Well that's certainly not a good sign," Keiko said.
"It's hard to say," Genkai said. They all looked at her. "Sometimes a person's body will stay out of consciousness so it can heal without being disturbed. This girl's body is probably doing just that. Since the girl can't seem to stay in one place, her body took charge and took advantage of her weakness to get her to black out."
"So is she in a sort of coma?" Keiko asked.
"Not exactly, more like a healing sleep. She'll wake from it when her body believes she has recovered enough to do so."
"But that could take a long time," Hinigeshi said.
"And time is exactly what she needs," Genkai replied. "Once she awakens from the sleep, we'll get her used to her surroundings, and then I'll begin training her."
"How will you train her to use her elemental powers?" Yukina asked.
"I can teach her two, water and wind. The others I'll need help with. Kurama will probably help with her earth ability, but I don't think Hiei will help with her fire ability."
"If it makes a difference," Yukina said, "I could help her with her ice abilities, and maybe pass down some healing techniques I know."
"Genkai I'm sure you'll find someone who can help you teach her how to use the rest of her powers," Botan said. "Does she have any regular spiritual energy abilities?"
"Probably," Genkai answered. "Those no doubt that she has the potential to learn them, so she'll be learning all that I taught Yuseke and more."
"More," Keiko said, "Wow, I didn't think that it was possible."
"Possible for what?" Botan asked.
"That someone could learn all of that," Keiko answered. "I mean, she's the same age as Yuseke was when he was learning, but Yuseke was already strong when he started out. This girl can't even wake up, do you really think she can do it?"
"Keiko," Genkai said, "You aren't thinking that I'm going to be as hard on her as I was Yuseke are you?" Keiko nodded. "Well, of course I'm not. I was hard on Yuseke because I had to be, it was the only way I was able to get him to learn. No, for this girl I'm going to have to be gentle, and have a lot of patience."
"The poor girl," Botan said, "First she's tormented and beaten by her father and village boys, and then she's swept off to the palace in Spirit World, and then she's running around terrified in the human world."
"And not being able to remember her own name," Hinigeshi said, and shook her head. "Hey, why don't we try and think up a name."
"What do you mean?" Botan asked.
"Well, since she can't remember her true name," Hinigeshi said, "she's going to need another one, so why don't we try and think of one?"
"That's a little difficult," Botan, said, "What if the name we decide on, she ends up not liking?"
"I guess you're right."
"We should go back inside now," Genkai said. "Even if she may be in a healing sleep, it might not take as long as we think, so lets go inside just in case she wakes up." They nodded and went back to the room, but were surprised when they walked in.
The girl was not only awake, but sitting up. She was rubbing her eyes sleepily, like she had just woken up.
"Well good morning," Botan said cheerfully as she and Genkai walked in first.
The girl looked up at them, but didn't say a word. They all came in and sat down around, she watched them, but still didn't say anything.
"Are you feeling better?" Yukina asked, sitting down at the girl's left. The girl nodded.
"Yukina's an ice apparition and studies healing," Botan, said, "She's the one who tended all of your wounds last night up until early this morning."
The girl had been looking at Botan as she spoke, and now looked back at Yukina, and bowed her head a little in a thank you.
"So," Botan continued, "I guess you'll probably speak on your time, so there's not point in try to get much out of you, not that I'm insulting you at all. You have a very good right for being quiet."
The girl nodded hesitantly, and then Genkai spoke. "You remember Koenma don't you?" The girl nodded, "He said that you would be trained by a person named Genkai, well, I am her." The girl looked surprised, but then did an awkward bow from her position out of respect to Genkai. Genkai smiled, "You have a good heart, a very good heart, for one that's had such a hard life."
The girl looked down at the blanket, biting her lip to hide her feelings.
"Well then," Botan said, trying to lighten the mood. "Lets see, what should we do now?" She thought a little harder, "Oh I'm so stupid." She got up, "Please excuse me, but I'm going to go and get Shiziru, see you later."
She opened the door, summoned her oar, and took to the air. "Now then, let's see." She found the apartment and floated to the ground, happy that it was still a little early and not many people were about yet.
She rang the door doorbell and waited. Finally Kuwabara opened the door. "Oh, hey Botan, what's up?"
"I came to get your sister, and update the both of you on the girl's condition," Botan answered.
"Oh, great," Kuwabara said. "My sister's changing at the moment, come on in and I'll let her know." He led her to the small living room and she sat down on the couch. Kuwabara went off down the hall, just as Botan noticed three little kittens sleeping on the opposite end of the couch.
"Oh now aren't they adorable," Botan said. A kitten woke up and noticed her, and, being a curious kitten, it got up and walked on unsure legs over to her. "Aren't you just a little cutie?" Botan said as she picked it up.
"Here she is Botan," Kuwabara said as he came out with Shiziru, "Oh, you found the kittens."
"Actually this little one found me," Botan said as she rubbed the little one under the chin. "The other two are still asleep."
"Kuwabara found them just a few weeks ago," Shiziru said as she sat down.
"Kuwabara you have a good heart," Botan said as the kitten batted at her hair.
"Well I couldn't just leave them out in the cold," Kuwabara said, blushing lightly.
"So how's the girl?" Shiziru asked.
"Well she woke up not too long ago," Botan answered. "She won't speak, but who could blame her?"
"I wouldn't," Kuwabara said.
Botan sighed, "She's so timid. We need something that can bring a smile to her face." The kitten she held gave a soft meow, and Botan's eyes lit up. "I've got it."
"What?"
"These," she said as she held up the kitten.
"That's a great idea Botan," Shiziru said, "Even on my bad days, I still get a smile from them."
"The lets get going," Botan said as she got to her feet, still holding the kitten.
"Can I come?" Kuwabara asked. "Those are my kittens."
Botan sighed, "All right, but you know the rules, don't let her see or hear you." Kuwabara nodded and they got the kittens and headed out.
They finally got back to the temple and Botan knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Genkai asked.
"A very cheery Botan and company," Botan answered. "Warning, Kuwabara's out over by the stairs, but he's promised to stay away."
"Just as long as he does that," Genkai said as she opened the door. She noticed the kittens, and smiled. "Brought something to brighten us all up haven't you?"
Botan beamed and hugged the kitten she held. "I thought that it would." Genkai moved aside so they could come in. "Looky what we have," Botan said as she and Shiziru came in and held out the kittens.
"Let me guess," Keiko said smiling, "They're Kuwabara's?"
Botan nodded, "And he's kindly allowed us to play with them." She looked at the girl, "Would you like to hold one?"
The girl looked at her for a moment, but then nodded shyly. Botan gave her the little white kitten she held and took another one from Shiziru. "How about you Yukina?"
"Of course," Yukina answered smiling and took the little one. They all sat down again and played with the kittens, occasionally glancing at the girl.
After a little while Genkai stood up, "I'll go and bring us some tea."
"Need any help?" Keiko asked.
"I wouldn't mind it." Keiko got up and followed the woman out. After about ten minutes they came back, carrying a tray with cups and a steaming pot of hot tea.
"Would anyone like honey?" Keiko asked. Several people said yes. Keiko set out a little bowl of cream for the kittens, which came and drank it immediately.
"Would you like some honey in yours?" Botan asked the girl. The girl gave her usual timid nod, and Botan mixed the honey into the cup of green tea and gave it to her.
She blew on the tea and took a few sips before setting it down next to her.
"I opened up the shrine for Kuwabara so he didn't have to stand out there in the sun," Genkai said. "Kurama showed up a few minutes ago, so they can chit chat with each other." When she finished she took a long draught of her tea.
"Yuseke said he would be here at around noon," Keiko said as she checked her watch, "Looks like he's stuck in the shrine when he gets here."
"He'll live," Botan said, and stole a glance at the girl. She was rubbing her eyes and looked ready to sleep. "Would you like to go back to sleep?" The girl nodded. "Okay." Botan and Shiziru rounded up the three kittens while Hinigeshi and Yukina picked up the teacups and stacked them on the tray.
Genkai had vanished a few minutes before, and now came back in carrying some clothes. "When she wakes she'll probably want to change her clothes," she said as she set them down at the foot of the blankets. They finished gathering everything up and left the room, going to the shrine to sit with Kuwabara and Kurama until the girl woke again.
Author's Note: Yay! Girl's awake, maybe next chapter you'll find out more about.
