Chapter 14
As those two fought with Raimeihi, Shiroi got to Yuseke and Kurama.
"Something tells me Hiei hasn't had time to rely that message to you," Shiroi said as she appeared.
"What are you doing?" Yuseke asked. Shiroi explained her plan, and got the same reaction out of them as she had gotten from Genkai. As soon as she was done, the two got up and went back into the fight.
None of the four were down again, so that gave her some time to go on the offensive.
She ran a little deeper into the forest, but still close enough to where she could just see the fighters and distinguish them. She formed several, steel hard balls of earth, mixing them with a few stones to make them cause more damage, if they hit the target.
She hid behind a tree, watched her target, and fired.
Hiei had just moved out of the way of Raimeihi when an earth ball struck the tall demon smack in the forehead.
"What the hell?" Raimeihi exclaimed as the ball shattered, sending dust and rocks into his eyes.
"Cool," Kuwabara couldn't help but say. He didn't say anymore, or else he might give Shiroi away.
As he was clearing out his eyes, to his own luck the four against him had stopped in surprise of the attack, five large ice splinters came shooting out of the trees.
They weren't huge, but they were big enough to make holes the size of nickels in Raimeihi.
"Who the hell?" He pulled the splinters out, just as the others started attacking again.
***
Shiroi knew her attacks had taken her father by surprise, but she knew she wouldn't be able to hit him much anymore. He'll be expecting it, and will either dodge it or block it whenever the attacks come at him.
She watched as Kurama fell to the ground, blood spurting from a nasty gut wound. She wanted to get to him, but he was too close to the fight. She deiced to try something, and hoped it would work.
She opened her mind from the shields Genkai had taught her to form, and directed her thoughts directly to Kurama, and only him. Kurama.
"What?" the half demon whispered. He knew that the mind voice was way too high to Hiei's. He had a little telepathy of his own and asked, Who?
It's me, Shiroi thought back, Shiroi.
Shiroi? Kurama asked. When did you learn to use telepathy?
Just now. Kurama, I want to heal you, but you're too close to the fight for me to come to you. Could you try and drag yourself a little closer to the tree line?
I'll try, Kurama replied. He dragged himself using one arm, trying to make it look like he was just trying to get away as soon as possible. As soon as he got to the trees, he felt the girl's hand on his shoulder. "Those were some nice attacks," he whispered as she healed him.
"I'm glad I got to hit him," Shiroi said. "I probably won't be able to anymore. He's waiting for those attacks again."
"I'm sure he is, since they came from an unknown source as far as he knows." He felt the healing finish and clutched her hand to his shoulder before she could let go. "Be careful," he said. "And thank you."
She smiled, "Yes, kitsune."
Kurama eyed her, but then got up and got back into the fight.
***
Raimeihi kept wondering how his opponents were able to keep coming back into the fight when he was certain he had given them close to fatal injuries. When the half demon came back into the fight, he that there had to be someone in the forest who was healing his opponents, and he had a good idea of who it was.
He blew the fighters aside with a static filled blast of spirit energy, and sped to the trees.
Hiei was the first to realize what he was doing, and shouted in telepathy to the girl to warn her. Shiroi, your father's heading your way. Move now! He hoped she had heard him when Raimeihi reached the trees.
All was silent, an agonizing silence, and lasted for well over a minute.
Suddenly Shiroi burst from the trees to their right. Hiei shot forward, grabbed her, and shot back to the group just as Raimeihi burst out of the trees behind her.
"You will give me that little bitch now," Raimeihi hissed. It looked as thought Shiroi had gotten a few more hits in, including one in the nose, which was bleeding heavily.
"Over our dead bodies," Yuseke replied.
"Fine," Raimeihi said as he pulled out his sword again. He slashed at them. Hiei jumped out of the way, still holding Shiroi. Her father came after them, very intent on separating them. "Give her to me now!" He slashed.
Shiroi shoved as hard as she could. Hiei lost his grip on her and they both went in different directions, but out of the way of the descending blade.
She landed and tried to run, but her father was too fast. He had her by the back of her collar, and there was no way she could get out of his grip.
"Got you," he said with an evil smile. Shiroi was terrified, she hadn't been this terrified since she had first come here, but that still didn't even come close to the felt she felt now. Her father rose into the air, ready to make his get away. He had just gotten a few dozen yards over the treetops when something shot after them.
"Let. Her. Go!" Hiei yelled as he attempted a slash. Raimeihi was ready though, and pulled his shield in front of him, his daughter. Hiei was expecting it, and was able to fling his sword away just seconds before hitting her. "You shit headed coward," Hiei hissed as he began to fall back down to earth.
Raimeihi laughed, "Not a coward, just smart."
Shiroi had seen the look of split second fear in Hiei's eyes when he was about to cut her, and that had given her a little courage to go up against her father. She whipped herself around to face her father and fired ice needles at him, an endless storm of ice needles straight at his face.
She yanked herself free of his grip and fell, hoping that someone would catch her. Her hopes were granted, and before she even hit the tree line someone grabbed her. She knew it was Hiei. Only he could have recovered from his descent before landing and be able to take off again.
"How did you make him let go of you?" Hiei asked as they landed.
"Ice needles," Shiroi answered. "I knew hitting him in the face with nearly endless rounds of them would loosen his grip enough." She was breathing hard, having used more spirit energy to make the needles than she had wanted.
"Where is he?"
"Still in the air," Hiei answered as he looked up. He could see him; but Raimeihi couldn't see them. Hiei had landed in a patch of trees that would block any overhead view.
"How long do you think it will take him to find us?" Shiroi asked.
"If we stay here and don't move, probably not for a while," Hiei answered. "But if try heading back to the temple, he'll spot us somehow and be after us again."
"What about the others?" Shiroi asked. "Won't they be wondering where we are?"
"Yes, but they know that I'm with you too, so they won't have to come looking for us until dark. How is your father when it comes to the dark?"
He was able to see her smile, "Blinder than a blind man. Even if he summons a fire to help guide him, he still won't be able to find us. His spirit energy sensing shuts down at night, so he won't be able to sense us either."
Hiei actually felt relieved. If this guy was bad in the dark, think of all the attacks that could be done to him.
"It was around noon when we started in the forest," Hiei said. "We were there for nearly an hour, and this fight took about half an hour, so it's close to three now, probably."
"It won't be another four or five hours before it gets dark," Shiroi said. "He could find us in that time."
"When they lets just hope he doesn't."

Author's Note: This one's a little short, sorry. A little revenge for Shiroi, but this isn't the end of it. In truth, the story's only half done, just in case you were wondering.
