Chapter 17
"What?" Raimeihi stood there with his sword sticking in his daughter. "You stupid girl!"
Shiroi gripped the blade, cutting her palms and causing even more blood to flow out of her body. He had stabbed her more to her left side, but he had punctured something, which was causing her to bleed heavily. If the pain she had felt before this was anything, if she hadn't had the blade in her and holding onto it by herself, she would have been on the ground.
Raimeihi bared his teeth. He wrenched his sword up, lifting the girl off the ground. "Let! Go!" He flung her off behind him. He had thrown her so hard that she flew all the way to the tree line and slammed into a tree, her back against it.
"Foolish girl," Raimeihi muttered, but he had made a very big mistake.
He had forgotten that Hiei was still there, and you could bet that demon was ready to cut Raimeihi into as many pieces as he could.
He wasn't alone. Kurama, Kuwabara, and Yuseke had gotten to their feet and were charging at Raimeihi.
"You really think a group attack can stop me?" Raimeihi asked. He stopped the three behind him by sending out a static fill blow of spirit energy, but again he had forgotten about Hiei.
Hiei was in the air, holding a blackish purple ball of flames, his Jagan Eye also exposed.
"Hit the dirt!" Yuseke yelled, and the three of them dove into the forest.
"There's no way you can possibly hit me," Raimeihi. He bent his legs; "You still don't have all of that power ready yet."
Hiei growled under his breath, realizing that the tall demon was right. Raimeihi was ready to spring away, but again, they were surprised by something.
Out of nowhere came a bolt of spirit energy, like Yuseke's spirit gun. It hit Raimeihi in the back, blowing out his left lung and part of his heart. The demon stood there, stunned, but not yet dead.
Hiei wasn't stunned, and finished what he started. "Go Black Dragon Wave!" The black fire dragons shot at Raimeihi, who couldn't move.
Raimeihi stared at the attack coming toward him. "Curse you, Chikara." The dragons hit the ground where he stood, burning him to nothing more than a cinder on the ground.
Hiei landed and stared at the spot where Raimeihi had been. Then he looked up to see where Shiroi had landed. Botan had already gotten to her, and the rest of them were close behind her.
"Shiroi," Botan shook the girl, whom had gone slightly unconscious.
Shiroi opened her eyes and looked at the woman. "Botan?"
Botan nodded, "Yeah." She knew what no to mention, and everyone seemed to. "Hey, don't leave us now."
Shiroi seemed to manage a smile. She noticed Kurama, Kuwabara, Yuseke, and Hiei, who had just walked up, standing around, and she noticed their injuries. She raised her hand slightly, not enough for them to notice, and summoned her healing powers, ignoring the fact that it could kill her.
Kurama felt her healing, and shouted, "Stop it! You'll kill yourself."
The rest of them noticed too, and Botan shook the girl. "Don't worry about them, they'll be fine. Stop it or you'll die." She couldn't stop the tears spilling from her eyes.
"To late," the girl mumbled. She completed the healing, and the guys stood there like they had never been in a fight. She held up her hand and looked at the cut in her palm.
"Shiroi?" Botan whispered.
"Hmm," the girl whispered, "doesn't even hurt anymore." Yukina gasped as the girl's eyes shut, and shot as close to the girl as possible and started healing the deep stab wound the went all the way through her body. Botan followed her example, but used her energy to keep the girl breathing. Kurama came forward and helped Yukina, and Genkai did the same. After a few seconds, and blue, bubble-like shield appeared around them.
"Come on," Hinigeshi whispered, "There's nothing we can do right now." She and the other three didn't go far, just a few feet away to keep out of the way in case they decided to move Shiroi.
"At least we don't have to worry about that guy anymore," Yuseke muttered.
"I saw his mouth move just before Hiei's attack fried him," Kuwabara said. "Did anyone hear what he said?"
"I did," Hiei said. He had retrieved his jacket without any of them noticing. "He said, 'Curse you, Chikara.'"
"Chikara?" Yuseke asked. "Who's that?"
"It's Shiroi." Hinigeshi said. "Chikara must be her real name."
"Another fitting name," Hiei muttered.
"Will you ever direct those to her when she's standing in front of you?" Yuseke asked.
Hiei glared at him. "Who knows? Maybe if she lives."
"She's going to live," Kuwabara spat.
"I hope so," Hinigeshi said. Suddenly the bubble vanished and Kurama picked up Shiroi and he, Yukina, and Botan headed to an empty room.
Genkai walked toward them. "We've gotten her stable," the old woman reported. "I've done all that I can, it's up to those three now."
"Lets hope they can do it," Yuseke said.
"They will," Genkai said, "Or they'll die trying."
"I really hope it doesn't come to that," Hinigeshi said. "Losing four people just doesn't sound comforting."
Genkai nodded, "Come, let's go and wait outside the room." It wasn't far from where they had just been, probably just for that reason.
They only sat there for about two hours when Keiko showed up, and she wasn't happy.
"Yuseke where have you been?" She asked, and then she noticed the eerie silence. "What happened? It looks like someone just died."
"Shut up," Hiei mumbled.
"Huh?" Keiko asked.
"Keiko," Genkai said, "Come here and sit down, there is something you need to know." Keiko did as she was told, and Genkai told her what happened.
"Oh no," Keiko gasped, "Will, will she be all right?"
"We don't know," Genkai answered. "Kurama, Yukina, and Botan are still in there, trying to heal her now, they've been at it for nearly two hours now."
"Two hours," Keiko echoed. "That's a long time."
"And we still don't know how much longer it's going to take," Yuseke said.
"We found out something too," Kuwabara added. "Her real name."
"Her real name," Keiko repeated. "What is it?"
"Chikara," Hiei answered.
"Chikara?" Keiko asked. "Well, then what should we call her then, Shiroi or Chikara?"
"We'll figure that out later," Genkai said. At her words, Yukina, Botan, and Kurama came out of the room. They all got to their feet and waited anxiously.
Kurama looked up, "She'll live," he mumbled. He looked exhausted, but so did Botan and Yukina.
"Is she awake?" Keiko asked.
Kurama shook his head, "She'll be out for awhile. She barely made it through the healing. Several times we had to stop and focus on keeping her alive before we could continue healing her. She's strong, but this time her strength may run out on her."
"Don't say that," Hinigeshi protested.
"Hinigeshi, he's right though," Botan cut in. "She was weak before this, she used up so much of her spirit energy yesterday against her father and to heal the guys as they fought Raimeihi, her father. That's what I've been told any way."
Yuseke was about to say something, but Hiei, whom punched a rock next to him, causing it to explode, interrupted him. "What's your problem?" Yuseke asked.
Hiei didn't reply, but they knew why he had done it, at least some of them did any way.
"Uh, could someone clue me in?" Keiko asked. They all looked at Hiei. The demon only shrugged, but he did walk into the forest at a pace that would just pass for fast. "Well?" Keiko asked again.
"Hiei's got a thing for Shiroi," Yuseke answered.
"Huh?"
"You heard the man," Kuwabara said.
"When did you find this out?" Keiko asked.
"This morning," Yuseke answered, "but I think Kuwabara's known since yesterday."
"It's too bad that it probably won't work," Botan said. "Did they tell you what her father did to her?" Keiko shook her head.
"He raped her," Yuseke put simply.
Keiko screamed with disgust and hatred. "That's disgusting, how could he do such a thing to his own daughter?"
"We've been wondering the same thing," Genkai replied.
"I am going to go back in and watch over Shiroi," Yukina said, "Who knows if she may slip again." They nodded and she went back inside.
"How long do you think she'll be out?" Yuseke asked Kurama.
"It's hard to say," the half demon answered as he sat down with a groan. "With the injuries she has sustained and the little energy she had in the first place, I'd say for a while."
"A while isn't a very good answer," Yuseke muttered.
"We can't give you any other," Botan replied. They couldn't do anything. The sat there all day in silence. Hiei didn't reappear, but they knew he was probably nearby. The situation just seemed so hopeless.

Author's Note: Um, well, she's going to live, I can tell you that. You found out her real name, what's that going to do? Read the next chapter to find out. Review me if you think I was to graphic or what not, or just to tell me what you think. I know, I'm babbling, sorry.
