Chapter 9
After two weeks of training with spiritual, water, and ice abilities, Shiroi had finally gotten the basics of all of those down like they were second nature. Genkai really wasn't sure how she was going to teach the girl how to use her wind abilities, and even if they could contact Jin, the girl would be too afraid to go near him.
They had been doing well with Shiroi getting used to men again, but three days ago, Yuseke and Kuwabara got into a loud argument which ended up having several bruises, cuts, and burn marks from physical and spiritual attacks. It had all taken place outside Shiroi's room, so she had no place to run and had to endure it until Hiei and Kurama showed up and broke up the argument.
By then Shiroi was nearly in hysteric, shaking like a leaf in a strong wind. Genkai had not been happy, and had punished both the boys by making them clean up the mess they had made and clean up the rest of the temple until she saw fit, which took quite a while.
What Genkai didn't know, was that when she and Yuseke and Kuwabara weren't looking, Hiei was making a mess in other areas of the temple to prolong the boys' punishment. Kurama knew he was doing it, probably because he had to get involved in breaking up the fight, but Kurama wondered if it was something else.
While Hiei was having his revenge, Kurama tried to calm Shiroi down, and didn't have a whole lot of luck. He knew that she knew that he was only trying to help, but Kurama understood the girl's fear, and held no grudges when she said as politely as she could to leave her alone and that she didn't feel like coming out.

At the end of that day, Genkai was finally able to coax the girl out of her room after all of the guys had left.
"Those boys," Genkai muttered as she and Shiroi sat inside the shrine, "Never can keep them in line all the time." Shiroi didn't reply in any way. Genkai turned around and looked at the girl. "Look her now dear." Shiroi looked at the elderly woman. "I know those two did not mean to scare you like they did, and they said over and over again that they would find someway to apologize to you as soon as they could."
Shiroi nodded, but she still didn't say anything. She was still tense and nervous, and really didn't feel like speaking.
Genkai sighed, "Well, there is a bright side to this day." Shiroi looked at her. "While you were hiding out in your room, Keiko came by and asked if you could spend a day with her away from the temple. I said it was up to you, so, what should I tell her when I call her?"
Shiroi was a little surprised, and really didn't know how to answer. "Um," she mumbled. "I don't know. It would be rude to turn her offer down, but I'm still nervous of leaving the temple."
Genkai nodded. Since the girl's trip to Shiziru and Kuwabara's, she hadn't once left the temple.
"You probably want me to go don't you?" Shiroi asked.
Genkai smiled, "Listen kid, you can't stay here all the time. The only way for you to get used to being around men again, and get back to being a normal girl, you do have to leave the shrine. My answer to you is yes, I do want you to go."
Shiroi thought for a moment, and then said, "All right, I'll go. I should leave the temple more often, it is better for me." Genkai smiled and nodded, and then left to go and make the phone call.

Keiko had been so excited when Genkai had called to confirm the get together. Of course, it wouldn't just be the two of them; Botan would be coming with them too.
As soon as Saturday came, Keiko arrived early that morning to pick up Shiroi. Genkai had made sure Shiroi was ready to go, so when Keiko arrived she wouldn't have to wait.
Keiko and Shiroi met up with Botan as they were heading to Keiko's house. When they reached Keiko's place they went up the stairs to the apartment.
"Mom, Dad," Keiko, "I brought them." As they walked in, Keiko's mother approached them.
"Good morning," the woman said.
"Good morning," Botan said. Shiroi bowed as her reply, too shy to speak.
"Keiko's been talking about this all week," said the woman. "I've met you Botan, but you young miss." She turned her attention to Shiroi. "You must be Shiroi, it's very nice to meet you." She held out a hand.
Shiroi took it shyly, and then let go, still not saying anything. Keiko wanted to make introductions short and sweet, so she said, "Okay, come on lets go to my room." She led the two down a small hall and into her bedroom. "Whew," she said as she closed the door, "glad that's over."
"What are you so worried about Keiko?" Botan asked as she sat down on the bed. "You know your mother would warm even more to Shiroi if she really knew what the girl had been through." She winked as the apparition kneeled on the floor.
"You can sit on the bed," Keiko said as she sat down in the chair at her desk. Shiroi obeyed and sat next to Botan. "So," Keiko said, "What should we do?"
"Not stick around her the entire time," Botan said. "I would like to go to the mall, there something there I've had my eye on lately."
"Same here," Keiko said. She looked at the clock, "Well, all of the stores will be open in an hour, so we have some time to kill before we head out." She suddenly snapped her fingers and got up and went into her closet. "Botan, the last time you were here you left your sweater."
"I did, didn't I?" Botan said as Keiko reappeared with the sweater. "I've actually been looking all over for it."
"Well it's been here the whole time," Keiko said as she tossed the sweater to Botan. She sat down on the bed with a plop, "So Shiroi, how have you been coming along with your training?"
Shiroi was a little startled by the question, but answered any way, "Well, okay I guess. I've learned how to form ice, sort of."
"What do you mean my sort of?" Botan asked.
"I mean, I can freeze the water, but I as soon as I finish it starts to melt again," Shiroi answered.
"You just need some more time," Botan said. "From what Genkai has been informing us, you're advancing quickly."
"I am?" Shiroi asked.
"Yep," Botan answered. "Genkai is very impressed. She can't wait until she can teach you more advanced material."
"I'm trying as hard as I can," Shiroi said shyly.
"And she knows that. You're doing great, even better than Yuseke did."
Keiko smiled at the conversation the two were having, and then checked her watch. "You know," she said, "If we leave now, we'll get to the mall right when everything opens."
"Shall we go?" Botan asked Shiroi. The girl really didn't know how to answer, but nodded anyway.
Keiko quickly led them out of her room, half yelling; "We're going to the mall," before they headed out the door.
