Chapter 18
Two weeks passed without any change. But one day, late on a Saturday afternoon, Hinigeshi ran into the shrine during her shift of watching over the unconscious Shiroi
"She's waking up!" Hinigeshi cried happily.
Kurama, Yuseke, Keiko, Kuwabara, and Genkai had been sitting there, and now they were racing each other to Shiroi's room where they had moved her a few days before.
They got inside and were just able to get themselves situated around her when her eyelids began to flicker.
"Come on," Keiko urged.
The girl's eyes flickered once more, and then they slowly opened. She looked around from where she lay. "What happened?"
"You've been unconscious for two weeks," Genkai said. "How are you feeling?"
"Weak," the girl replied. "Weak and empty." Her stomach gave a sudden growl, and she turned almost as red as Kurama's hair.
Genkai chuckled while the others smiled. "That's very understandable. I'll leave these numbskulls here while I go and get you something." She and Hinigeshi walked out of the room, leaving Keiko and the boys with her.
Keiko crawled closer to the girl and sat down next to her. "So," said Keiko, "besides being a little hungry, how do you feel?"
"Didn't see already answer that?" Yuseke asked.
"It was vague though," Keiko replied.
The girl sat up, wincing at the pain in her side and the sting on her palms.
Kurama noticed, "We were mostly concerned with keeping you alive, so we got your injuries to a point where were sure they would heal just fine on there own and concentrated on getting you energy levels back up."
Shiroi nodded, it made sense for them to do.
"Um, Shiroi," Keiko said. The girl turned to her. "Well, the guys found out something from your father just before Hiei killed him." The girl nodded for her to continue. "It's really not for me to say, I was told."
"So were we," Yuseke said, Kuwabara and Kurama nodded.
"Then who told you?" Shiroi asked.
"I did." Shiroi jumped and flinched as the others looked up to see Hiei leaning against the door jam.
"Smart move," Yuseke muttered to him. Hiei did a half shrug and looked back at Shiroi. The girl was still breathing a little quickly, but other than that she seemed to have recovered from her scare.
"What was it that you found out from my father?" Shiroi asked.
"Your name," Hiei answered, looking away and out the door so he didn't have to make eye contact with her.
"My name?" Shiroi asked. "My real name?" Hiei nodded. "What is it?"
Hiei turned back and looked at her, "Chikara."
"Chikara," the girl whispered. Suddenly a flood of memories that she couldn't remember flooded back into her mind. She held her head, tears streaming from her eyes. "No," she whispered, "Why do I have to remember this?"
"Shiroi?" Keiko asked.
"I remember everything now," Shiroi said through her tears. "And I don't want to."
"I'll go tell Genkai," Yuseke said as he got to his feet and trotted out, smacking Hiei upside the head as he passed.
-Hey I only told her what she wanted to know, - Hiei spat into Yuseke's head.
Yuseke found Genkai just before they were about to head back to them, "Forget get all of that," Yuseke said. "I don't think Shiroi feels like eating anymore."
Genkai nodded to Hinigeshi, who put the tray down and they followed Yuseke back at a quick pace. When they got back to the room, Keiko was holding Shiroi, letting the girl cry on her shoulder.
"What happened?" Genkai asked.
"We said we had found out what her name was," Keiko began. "So Hiei told her what it was, and I guess she can remember everything that she couldn't remember before."
"That can be overwhelming," Genkai said. She walked over and sat down next to Shiroi. "Shiroi, look at me."
The girl sat up, wiped her eyes, and looked at Genkai.
Genkai turned to everyone. "I would like to talk to her alone for a few minutes, could all please wait outside until I'm through?" They nodded and got up and left. Genkai turned back to Shiroi. "So, now that you remember everything, what do you wish to be call, Shiroi or Chikara?"
The girl wiped her eyes again. "I don't know. I was Chikara back at home, but I'm not home anymore. Now that I'm here I've been known as Shiroi, but now that I remember my real name..." She closed her eyes and shook her head. "I don't know."
"You can use both."
"Huh?"
"Make one your first name, and the other your last name. Both of your parents are gone, so it's up to you what you call yourself."
Shiroi thought for a minute. "They are, they're really gone. When my father was still alive I somehow felt like I still had someone, but now that he's dead, I don't really have anyone anymore."
"That's where you're wrong," Genkai interrupted. "Do you think we've protected and helped you just because we felt like it?" Shiroi shrugged. "We did it because we knew it would end this way. We're your friends, we won't leave you."
Shiroi smiled. "I guess. I'm not used to it, having people around who actually care about me."
Genkai nodded, "Well, what do you decide?"
She sighed, "I think I'll stay with Shiroi, it's what I've known, and Chikara will be my last name."
"Shiroi Chikara," Genkai said, "Hmm, has a nice ring to it."
"I'm glad," Shiroi replied. She looked down at her bandaged hands. "When will I be able to get up and move around?"
"Not for a while," Genkai answered. "That wound in your side is going to take some time to heal. Even though Kurama, Botan, and Yukina healed part of it, the rest you'll have to deal with. I wouldn't recommend trying to heal yourself, your not that good, not yet."
Shiroi nodded, "So I'm confined to my room?"
"Sort of, depends on if Yuseke or Kuwabara feel like carrying you out or not." Shiroi blushed, but shuddered. "Something wrong?
"I'm not too sure of them anymore," Shiroi answered. "I hate to say it, but I think a lot of what they did to not make me afraid of them just went to waste."
"We were afraid of that," Genkai sighed. "They expected that, and they're going to try again."
Shiroi nodded, "Tell them I'm sorry for putting them through so much trouble."
"I think they'll disagree on that, but I'll tell them anyway," Genkai replied.
"Thank you Genkai," Shiroi said. Suddenly her stomach growled again. Shiroi blushed, "I may have forgotten about that, but my stomach didn't."
Genkai couldn't help but laugh. "All right, I'll go and get that, though by now it's nearly dinner time, so the others will either be staying or leaving." Shiroi nodded and Genkai left.
No one came back in after she left, so Shiroi suspected that they had all gone home, or something like that.
When Genkai came back, Shiroi was surprised to see Yukina with her, since the ice apparition hadn't been there all day.
"Hinigeshi contacted me," Yukina said as she sat down. "When she said you had finally come to I just couldn't wait to see you."
"I think I'll be fine," Shiroi said.
"Well if you're able to sit up after being unconscious for two weeks I would think so," Yukina replied.
"Well lets stop talking and let the girl eat," Genkai said. "It was hard enough getting water and broth down her throat when she was unconscious was hard enough."
"So that's what that was," Shiroi said.
"We had to get something in you," Yukina said, "If we didn't, we knew you wouldn't wake up."
"Let her eat," Genkai said as she stuffed a shrimp in the girl's mouth.
"I can feed myself," Shiroi gasped after she had swallowed the shrimp whole. "My hands aren't that sore."
Genkai nodded and let her do it, but they sat there until she had finished everything. By then the girl looked ready to drop off to sleep again. "Perhaps it is time for you to go to bed," Genkai said.
Shiroi nodded and the left her room to sleep.
"It's good to see that she's going to be all right," Yukina said.
"Of course it is, you, Botan, and Kurama exhausted yourselves almost to the point of collapse to make sure she would survive."
"I don't think we came that close," Yukina said.
Genkai shrugged, "Oh well, Shiroi's going to have some nice dreams tonight."
"Hmm?" Yukina asked.
"Botan informed me that she was letting Naoru the condition of Shiroi, so now since the girl is conscious, I suspect that Naoru will visit her in her dreams tonight."
"Good," Yukina said, "She needs to see her mother again." Genkai nodded as they walked to the shrine.

Author's Note: Okay, back to normal, sort of. Just for your information, Chikara means a type of power, strength if you want to take it to the point. So, translating her whole new name, Shiroi Chikara, you get White Strength. Neat huh? Reviews are very welcome.
