Chapter 10
The mall was packed. Keiko had brought a bag with her, containing what the other two didn't know.
"I have some extra money," Keiko said, "And I feel like being super generous right now." She was looking at Shiroi.
"What do you mean?" Shiroi asked. She was nervous with all the people around, and was staying very close to Botan.
"All you have are those shrine clothes," Keiko said. "You need at least two different outfits, and today you're going to get them."
"These clothes are fine," Shiroi protested, "Really."
"Don't think she's the only one who plans on getting you some better clothes," Botan said with a grin.
"Oh, no," Shiroi stammered, "It's all right, really."
"We know it is," Botan said, "That's why we're doing it." Shiroi blushed, very embarrassed. "What are you blushing for? When was the last time you looked at new clothes?"
"Eight years ago," Shiroi answered sheepishly.
"Exactly," Botan said. "And that's why we want to get some clothes for you. None of our hand-me-downs would fit you." Shiroi blushed some more, but didn't say anything. "Now that that's settled, lets go shopping."
They dragged Shiroi all over the mall, mainly looking at clothes, but stopping for a minute to look at some things that caught Shiroi's eye.
They finally got to Keiko's favorite clothing store and went in. She held many things up to Shiroi, trying to imagine how they might look on her. The place was having a big sale today, and everything was sixty percent off, so even a pair of nice jeans was within the girls' price range.
They finally decided on two pairs of jeans, a nice shirt, and a sweater for the girl to try on, with a few various tops to try on along with the main things. What they didn't know was that Keiko had brought along a surprise for Shiroi.
While Shiroi was changing into the first outfit, Keiko couldn't help but giggle with excitement.
"What are you giggling about?" Botan asked in a whisper.
"Do you remember the clothes Shiroi had worn when we first found her?" Keiko asked.
"Of course."
"Well, I kept them, and made a few repairs to them. I hope they look all right on her, and I hope the little additions I made to it look all right too."
"It's a good thing we're whispering and there's some light music going," Botan said. "Or else Shiroi would have heard the whole thing."
Keiko nodded as Shiroi came out in the first outfit. The top didn't fit right, and the color didn't look very good on her either, so the shirt went back on the rack.
"At least the pants look good," Botan said. "Are the comfortable?"
"Well," Shiroi said as she looked at the garment she wore, "they aren't tight, or loose."
"Are they too long for you?" Shiroi shook her head. "Would you like those?"
Shiroi was quiet, "Well, I guess they would be nice to have..."
"Great, so that's one thing down, a few more things to go." She closed the door so the girl could try on something else, just as Keiko returned, but she wasn't alone.
"Look at what I found," she said, she had found Kuwabara and Yuseke wandering around while she had been putting some stuff back.
"I hope it wasn't a bad idea for you to bring them back here," Botan said as she heard the lock of the dressing room click. Shiroi poked her head out, squeaked, and closed and locked the door again. "Oh, Shiroi they're aren't going to do anything."
"Hang on," Keiko said. She knocked on the door, "Shiroi, can I come in for a second, I have one more thing for to try on, and I think you're really going to like it."
There wasn't an answer for a moment, but then the lock clicked and the door opened. Keiko slipped inside and closed the door, locking it behind her. Shiroi was still in the previous outfit she had just shown them. "Okay," Keiko said, she was a little giggly. "I have something for you." She had that bag with her. "You know the clothing you wore when you first came here?"
Shiroi nodded, "It was really my only nice one, even if it was also partially ruined."
Keiko smiled, "Well, it's not ruined anymore."
"Huh?"
Keiko pulled something out of her bag. It was the outfit the girl had been wearing when they had first found her. It was all black, with high, turtle neck type neck. The hem of the top was lined with a gold/yellow, which also covered the top of the neck, and the front part where the little hooks and latches were hidden. The bottoms were the same design, but there had been an addition made to the long sleeves of the top.
The ends of the sleeves had been so tattered that Keiko would have had to cut a good portion of it away, until she had got an idea. Instead, she cut the tatters into designs like little fire flickers. Then she had taken a soft, violet colored material and sewn it to the sleeves, and had sewn the flame strands to that, making it look like a fire on the sleeves.
Shiroi looked at the older girl in amazement. "You did this?" she asked.
Keiko nodded, "What do you think?"
Shiroi was lost for words really. She had thought the only nice garment she had ever own was gone forever. Now it was back in front of her, even better than before.
She took the top from Keiko, gazed at it for a moment, and clutched it to her chest. "Thank you," she said.
Keiko smiled, "You're welcome. When I saw it, I just couldn't let it get thrown away. So I took it and made some repairs to it, and it took a little longer than I expected." She smiled, "Why don't you try it on, and then come out and show us?" Shiroi nodded and Keiko came out of the room, Shiroi locking the door behind her.
"What were you doing?" Yuseke asked.
"You'll see," Keiko said, smiling excitedly. They waited for a few minutes, and then the door opened.
Shiroi stood there in the outfit, but that wasn't all she was wearing. She had, for the first time in eight years, a smile on her face.
"So that's what you had in the bag," Botan said.
"That looks really nice," Kuwabara said.
"Keiko fixed it," Shiroi said shyly, a tiny blush on her face, and still a small smile.
"The smile looks good too," Yuseke added. This time Shiroi really blushed.
"I guess I got the measurements right," Keiko said as she came over and looked at how the outfit fit. "Does it fit right, like it normally did?" Shiroi nodded, "Great. So, why don't you change back, we'll get those two pairs of jeans and those two tops you had your eyes on the most, and we'll head back to Genkai's temple, all right?" Shiroi nodded again. "Okay." She shooed the boys out as Shiroi closed the door to change.

Twenty minutes later they were out of the mall and heading back to Genkai's temple.
"Well, one accomplishment down," Botan said.
"Which one was that?" Yuseke asked.
"To get her to start smiling again," Botan answered.
"I guess that is important," Yuseke said. "Cool, now we just need to get her laughing again and everything will be almost perfect."
Botan smiled and turned her head to look at Shiroi. The girl was walking quietly, carrying her bag of new clothes. She knew that it would take a lot to make the girl smile, but knowing she would smile now made Botan believe that it was possible for Shiroi to have a somewhat normal apparition life.
It took them half an hour to get back to Genkai's temple. When Botan told Genkai of their accomplishment earlier, Genkai was very pleased.
"Excellent," the old woman said. "I was worried it would take even longer for even than to happen. Where is she now?"
"Putting her new clothes away," Botan answered. She smiled, "It was so nice to see her smiling. It was like a barrier had been breached inside her. She seemed so much more carefree."
"Of course she would," Genkai said, "A smile can even betray fear or pain."
"I hope she really meant it and not what you just said," Botan said. "It didn't look like it. She looked very happy."
"I hope so," Genkai said. "I'm sure she meant it, her first smile had to mean it, or she wouldn't have done it at all." Botan nodded as Shiroi poked her head in. "Did you get some nice things?"
Shiroi nodded, "They're different, from what I'm used to wearing."
"You don't mean those old clothes that your father made you wear do you?" Botan asked.
Shiroi shook her head. "No, different from the clothes I used to wear when my mother was still alive."
Botan sighed, "Good. Of course they would be different from those, but they must be better than the rags your father made you wear." Shiroi nodded and Genkai started her on some lessons.
Author's note: Yay! They got Shiroi to smile! I know these past two chapters are a little dumb, but I had to put some of those in or else you wouldn't enjoy the good ones.
