Chapter 16


"Dammit," Yuseke swore. "We should've known he would have pulled something like that." He punched the rock wall, causing the entire cave to shake. Everyone ran out into the rain, just in case it caved in.


"Next time you feel like punching something," Hiei said as he wiped rained water from his eyes, "Punch a tree, that's my hide out in this kind of weather."


"There's no point in standing around here," Genkai said. "Lets get back to the temple and out of this rain. Once we're dry we can figure out a way to find Shiroi."


They nodded and headed back to the temple.


***


Far away, in some dark place, Shiroi was coming to from her fire travel. She opened her eyes to see her father's face, and she didn't like the maniac grin that was on it.


"No," she whispered, "Father, please no."


His grin only grew wider, and her screams were only drowned out by his laughter.


***


Back at the temple, no one could figure out a way to find Shiroi.


"They're probably not even in the human world anymore," Kurama said grimly. "Who knows what he's done to her by now."


"We really don't want to think about it," Yuseke snapped. They didn't know what else to do. They had been thinking and suggesting ideas for hours, and now it was going on midnight.


"We won't get any farther tonight," Genkai said. "I know this is impossible, but I want you all to try and get some sleep. A few hours won't make any difference. You can think of a way to find her in the morning."


None of them could argue, not even Hiei. They stayed in the shrine, none of them planning on going to sleep, but by dawn, Yuseke and Kuwabara had dozed off, but Kurama and Hiei were still awake. They had both fallen into a trance, not sleeping, but not completely awake either.


They probably would have all stayed that way, if Kuwabara hadn't jerked awake with a shout of horror.


"Oh, my god," he gasped.


"Something the matter Kuwabara?" Kurama asked.


"Aw man," Kuwabara gasped, "I think I just had a premonition, and it wasn't pretty."


"Need we need to ask about who?" Yuseke asked.


"No," Kuwabara answered. "But it was horrible, and her screams, I'll never forget them."


"What happened?" Kurama asked.


"You don't want to know," Kuwabara answered.


"We heard someone yell," Botan said as she opened the door, Genkai, Yukina, and Hinigeshi behind her.


"It was me," Kuwabara confessed, "but I had good reason."


"All he's told us was it was a bad premonition," Yuseke said. "So what was it about?"


"The girls aren't going to want to hear this," Kuwabara said.


"If it's about Shiroi then yes we do," Botan argued.


"Okay, okay," Kuwabara replied, "But I warned you." He remembered the dream, and shuddered. "I can't explain it in detail, it's just too graphic, but I can summon it up in just a few words."


"And?" Hiei asked, getting very impatient with the human.


"Lets just say Shiroi's not a virgin anymore," Kuwabara answered, having to force the words out.


"You had better not be joking around with us Kuwabara!" Yuseke yelled. He was sickened to the point where he wanted to run outside and hurl.


"I'm not kidding," Kuwabara protested. "If I could I'd show you what I saw, but I can't, and I can't say I'm sorry, that was way too detailed."


"So Raimeihi finally went through with his threat," Kurama muttered. He was just as disgusted. "Shiroi will never trust men again, no matter how much we try and help her now."


"And you guys were just getting her broken of her fear," Hinigeshi said. "All of your hard work has gone down the drain."


"Don't we know it," Yuseke muttered. He slammed his fist into his hand, "The next time I see that, that, that thing; I'm going to implant as many sharp objects into its body as possible."


"We'll see who's faster at it," Hiei mumbled. They looked at the demon, and then Kuwabara smirked.


"What is so funny?" Genkai snapped.


Kuwabara was fighting laughter, and Hiei was glaring at him. "I know I shouldn't be laughing," Kuwabara said. "But I know something you guys don't."


"What's that?" Yuseke asked. He hadn't missed the look on Hiei's face, and wondered what it was that Kuwabara knew.


"Spit it out Kuwabara," Botan said.


"I want to," Kuwabara said, "but I'm afraid Hiei's going to slice me into pieces."


Kurama was piecing the pieces together, and figured it out. "Hiei," he said, "Do you-,"


"Shut up!" Hiei exploded suddenly.


"That answers my question," Kurama muttered, smiling slightly.


"Hey no fair," Yuseke said, "What is it?"


"If either of you two open your mouths I will cut you into a thousand pieces!" Hiei yelled. "And I'll count too!"


"I'm so glad that threat wasn't geared at me," Yuseke said.


Kurama shrugged and got up. He had an idea in mind, and being unnoticed by anyone, signaled to Kuwabara.


He got up and followed the demon. When they got to the door Kuwabara had already figured out what Kurama's plan was. Kurama gave him a signal, and Kuwabara yelled, "Hiei likes Shiroi!" And they both darted out the door.


"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU TWO!" Hiei shouted so loud it would have been heard all the way at the other end of the forest. He shot out the door after the two, leaving the others sitting in the shrine with dumb looks on their faces.


"Did I just hear what I thought I just heard?" Yuseke asked.


"I think so," Botan replied.


Genkai recovered first. "It'll never work. Shiroi's always been afraid of Hiei, and now she probably won't even be able to be anywhere near him."


"Well that stinks for Hiei," Hinigeshi said.


"Well at least it answers my questions about why he's always acted for her," Yuseke said. "You know, like when we had to find her and he was always the one in front of her when he father attacked, and he kept her safe for a time before her father kidnapped her again."


"I does make sense," Botan said. She got a sad expression on her face. "It's such a shame it'll never turn out though."


"Who knows," Yuseke said. "If we get her back, she may surprise us."


"If," Botan repeated. She got another upset look on her face. "Why does it have to be 'if'?"


Yuseke shrugged, but then they heard Kuwabara yell, "Urimeshi! Get out here!" Yuseke shot to his feet and ran out the door, the girls behind him.


He got outside and found the other three. They were looking up, and Yuseke immediately saw Raimeihi descending toward them.


"So," the demon began, "you're still willing to fight with me?"


"Where's Shiroi?" Yuseke yelled up to him. "What have you done to her?"


Raimeihi smiled and raised his hand as he descended to only a foot above the ground. Shiroi appeared under his hand and dropped five feet to the ground. It was easy to see that she had been beaten, but as soon as she hit the ground, she started struggling to get up again.


Raimeihi landed behind her, and slammed her back down with his foot. The set them all off, and Yuseke, Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara charged at the demon.


Luckily for Shiroi it caused her father to back off and go off in another direction. This allowed her to crawl away, and Botan and the rest of them got to her and helped her away from the fight.


"We know what happened," Botan said as the girl got shakily to her feet. "Kuwabara had a premonition and he told us about it." She hugged the girl, "You poor thing."


Shiroi didn't reply; she just stood there. They watched as the guys fought with the demon, giving it there all on every strike they released.


"He's playing with them again," Genkai said. "No matter what they throw at him, he'll just dodge it. There has to be a way to slow him down so he can be hit."


"But how?" Yukina asked.


"I don't know," Genkai replied.


They watched as the guys fought what looked to be a useless fight. No matter what kind of combo or strategy they used on Raimeihi, the demon would catch it and be able to either dodge it or block it.


One by one he got them all down, and finally Hiei was the only on left somewhat standing. Even he had sustained wounds caused by the other demon's long sword.


"So, it is you who will be the first to die," Raimeihi said with a malicious grin.


"Don't be so confident," Hiei muttered, "You haven't defeated us all just yet."


Raimeihi laughed, "Oh, you mean the other three on the ground still have some fight in them?" He looked back at the three on the ground, "Could've fooled me."


Hiei gritted his teeth at the situation. He knew there was nothing he could do alone.


"Now," Raimeihi said as he raised his sword, "you shall die."


No one saw it; they had been too busy watching the fight. Not even Yuseke, Kurama, or Kuwabara from their point saw it, but when it happened, everything stopped.


As the blade came toward at Hiei, he felt himself get shoved aside. He looked just in time to catch the sight of Raimeihi's sword plunging into Shiroi's body.
