Chapter 22


He waited of course, and when the weekend finally came, Genkai allowed Shiroi to go to the carnival.


"Do you know what you're going to wear?" Genkai asked the girl. It was around four o'clock, and Keiko and Botan would be there at five thirty to pick up Shiroi.


"I know exactly what I'm going to wear," Shiroi answered.


Genkai nodded, "Do you need any help changing?" Shiroi shook her head, and Genkai left so she could change in privacy.


Shiroi was so excited she could sit still. All day she had been restless, and worked on things that she had started way back when she had first learned to use her abilities, finishing a few things while she was at it.


She finally finished changing, brushed her hair, which had gotten a little longer over the time she was there, and walked out to where Genkai was waiting.


Keiko and Botan were there already, early as usual. Keiko smiled when she saw the girl in the outfit, and so did Botan and Genkai.


"Ready to go?" Keiko asked.


Shiroi nodded, "I can't wait."


"That's what Kuwabara said earlier this week," Genkai said.


"And he was antsy the rest of the week," Botan added.


"Are you three just going to stand there all night or are you ready to go?" They all turned around to see Hiei, dressed in a black, men's style kimono, leaning against a tree.


"What's it to you?" Keiko asked. Both Botan and Yuseke had told her about the incident earlier that week, and all of them were still angry with him.


"Yes," Botan said. "If you want to go, then just get going."


Hiei glared at her, but then said, "Three girls walking to the carnival by themselves isn't always the safest thing."


"Oh," Genkai said, "When did you all of a sudden become a gentleman?" Botan and Keiko smirked, but Shiroi just watched Hiei.


The demon only glared the old woman, and then he looked at Keiko, "Well?"


Keiko sighed, "Fine then." She turned to Shiroi, "Ready?" Shiroi nodded and they headed off.


"Be careful," Genkai called after them.


"We will," Botan answered back.


It took them almost an hour to get there, but when they did, Yuseke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Shiziru were waiting for them.


"We were beginning to wonder if you guys were even going to show up," Kuwabara said.


"Well," Botan said, "We made it, even if it did take a little longer than planed." Shiroi blushed, they had walked slower for her, and now she felt guilty for making the others wait.


"Doesn't matter," Yuseke said, "You made it, now lets go have some fun." He took Keiko's hand and they headed off into the crowd.


"Hey wait up Urimeshi!" Kuwabara called as he and his sister followed after them.


"Those guys," Botan said as she shook her head. She turned to Kurama, "So, how long do you think it's going to take them to realize that not all of use followed?"


Kurama shrugged, "I don't know, depends on who stops running around first."


"That's true," Botan said. She turned to Shiroi, "So, what so you want to do first?"


Shiroi looked around, "I don't know, I don't really know what's here."


"Well we'll show you then," Botan said as she took the girl's hand. "Come on."


Kurama watched Botan walk off with Shiroi. "I'm going to go with them," he said to Hiei, "What are you going to do?"


Hiei shrugged, and jumped out of sight. Kurama shook his head and followed the girls.


Shiroi more or less watched, but she seemed to be having a good time. After a few minutes they caught up with Yuseke and Kuwabara, who had taken Keiko and Shiziru all over the place in a matter of minutes.


"Hiei took off?" Yuseke asked Kurama.


"He's around," Kurama answered. "Around where is the what I want to know?"


Yuseke laughed, "He's probably watching us from wherever he is." Kurama nodded. "Does Shiroi seem to be having a good time?"


"I don't know. She hasn't really done anything that would make you think she's having fun, but there's something in her eyes that says she is."


Yuseke nodded, "I think I know what you mean. Bet this is the best time she's had since she came here."


"I wouldn't doubt it." They looked at the group in front of them; Kuwabara was now carrying Shiroi piggyback.


"I bet Hiei's throwing a fit if he's been watching," Yuseke said.


Kurama laughed, "I wouldn't be surprised, he's seemed to have really come to hate himself for what he said to her earlier this week."


"Well he should," Yuseke said. "He didn't have to say that to her, that was hard for me to even watch, when Shiroi's mother left."


"Same here," Kurama replied.

Up in front of them, Botan said, "After all you been through Shiroi I'm surprised you're letting Kuwabara carry you."


"I think I can trust him," Shiroi said quietly.


"All right," Kuwabara said, "She trust me."


"I'm sure you're not the only one though," Botan said.


"I'm sure she doesn't trust Hiei," Keiko said.


"Who would?" Shiziru asked. "Rotten little freak."


"Don't tell him that to his face," Kuwabara said. "He'll blow a gasket, though I've never seen him hit girls, so I don't if he'll take a hit at you or not."


"If he does I'm sure Kurama would teach him a lesson," Botan said. "I think Kurama is the only person Hiei is afraid of."


"I know why," Kuwabara muttered. "I saw Kurama in his demon form once. The form wasn't bad, looks better than Hiei's," but it was his power that scared me."


"Any demon form looks better than Hiei's," Botan said.


"Yeah, he looks like the Little Green Man from Mars with eyes all over him," Kuwabara added.


"Sounds like someone's worst nightmare," Shiroi said.


"He looks like an alien," Kuwabara said, "I swear."


"What's an alien?" Shiroi asked.


Kuwabara stopped. "You don't know what an alien is?" Shiroi shook her head. He put her down. "An alien is something that comes from outer space, but their just things that we humans made up."


"Oh," Shiroi answered.


"Stop filling her head with nonsense," Shiziru said.


Kuwabara stuck his tongue out at his sister, "Want another ride?" Kuwabara asked.


Shiroi shook her head, "I'm okay." They started walking again.


They passed all kinds of booths and games, Yuseke and Kuwabara making fools of themselves at a few of them, but they made Shiroi laugh, which made up for it.


At one point, after going through a particularly large crowd, they got separated from Shiroi.


"Oh great," Yuseke said, "This isn't good."


Kurama was standing near a tree, and suddenly Hiei was standing next to him. "Why is something telling me that you were waiting for something like this to happen?" Hiei shrugged and Kurama sighed, "Could you please help us find her, and don't try and scare her?"


Hiei nodded and vanished into the crowd.


"Don't tell me," Yuseke muttered as he watched the demon enter the crowd.


Kurama nodded, "He'll find her the quickest anyway."


"Yeah I know," Yuseke said. "I only wish that she wasn't afraid of him, even though she does have a good for being afraid of him."

Author's Note: Whoops, she got lost. Don't worry, Hiei'll find her, along with something else. I should thank all of you that have been reviewing me, especially icewolfdemon and Diana-sama, sorry if I spell any of those wrong. I've been a bad girl when it comes o thank yous, so I apologize for not giving them sooner.
