Chapter 27


When Genkai read hers, she felt even guiltier for allowing this to happen.


Her letter read:


Dear Genkai,


In all of my letters, I'll be expressing me thanks, but also, I'll be going into more personal details.


I believe I owe the most to you, since not only were you my first teacher, but you were my guardian as well. You were like a grandmother to me, and that I will never forget.


As for training me, I thank you for being so patient with me. Teaching me spiritual and water abilities must have been difficult, and since I knew nothing about my abilities had to have the teachings even more difficult.


Also, I want to apologize for making you angry a few weeks ago, I had no intentions of doing that, and I know it was my fault.


There is more I want to say to, I just can't find the words to say it, so I'm sorry your letter had to be so short. Again, I thank you for everything, and I hope to see you again some day.


Love,


Shiroi.



Genkai wiped a tear away, folded up the letter, and walked outside.



Botan's letter was similar, even though neither of them knew.


Hers read:


Dear Botan,


It seems like all of my letter begin with thank you, but it's all I can think of to open them. Anyway, saying all I want to in this letter is impossible, but I'm going to try me best anyway.


I mostly want to thank you for teaching me how to heal. I'll use that ability forever. I also want to thank you for the kindness you showed me. You were like the big sister I never had.


It seems like I don't even know what else to say, but my heart holds so much more. All I can really seem to say is thank you; thank for all you've done for me.


I'm sorry I couldn't say more; I wish I could, but I just can't seem to. I guess the only other thing I can do is ending the letter, I'm sorry it had to be so short.


Also, can you tell Koenma I said goodbye? I would appreciate it.


I hope to see again.


Love,


Shiroi.



Botan did the same as Genkai, folded up the letter and went outside. It hadn't said much, but it was more than enough to make Botan feel like crying her eyes out.



Yukina's letter was no different, maybe a little longer, but no different.


Dear Yukina,


You letter seems to be the only one that doesn't start off with thank you, oh wait, I just wrote it, sorry.



Yukina couldn't help but giggled softly, and then went back to reading.



It's all thank you, that's all I can write. Thank you for teaching me how to use me ice abilities. I know I wasn't a very good student, and it took me a while to get hang of it, and I promise you, its been put to good use, you'll see soon enough.


Also, thank you for taking care of me while I was injured. I'm not the best patient, since I'm not used to being taken care while being in such conditions.


I have a question, but even though I may not hear the answer, I'm still going to ask it anyway. Your teas, how do you do it?


Whenever I had to take one back at me village, they tasted horrible, but yours didn't, what did you do?


One other thing, the next time you put that numbing spell on me, could you make it so it gives a warning that its going to stop working? I was standing while it happened, and I was lucky Kurama was next to me when it happened.


I don't know what else to say, and I'm mad at myself for making these letters so short. Oh well, I guess I really can't do anything about it.


Thank you Yukina, and I really hope to see you again.


-Shiroi




Yukina smiled and folded up her letter. She had seen Botan and Genkai leave out of the corner of her eye, and went to go see if they were all right.


"Yours must have been more emotional then mine," she whispered when she found the two.


"Why's that?" Botan asked as she wiped her eyes.


"Here," Yukina said as she held out her letter, "Read it for yourself and see."


Botan took the letter, and She and Genkai read it. "She put humor in yours," Botan said. "No wonder you're not in our state."


"Probably because she didn't know me as well," Yukina answered. "I mean she was always with either of you two, or Kurama."


"He seemed to be the only one she trusted," Botan, said, all of them still continuing to whisper.


"And to think he was even half demon," Genkai said, "You would think she would never trust a demon."


"Normally you're not supposed to," Botan said. "But I guess there are a few exceptions."



Back inside, Hinigeshi was just finishing her letter. The girl hadn't known her that well, but had thanked her for helping take care of her while she was injured. She would've have liked to have gotten to know Hinigeshi better if she hadn't left. Like all of the letters so far, it ended with her saying that she wanted to see her again, and Hinigeshi walked out to see what the other three were doing.


"It must have been hard for her to write letters for people she didn't know that well," she said as she sat down next to Botan.


A few minutes later, Keiko came out. "It seems like she wanted to say so much more, but she just couldn't." The other four nodded and Keiko sat down.



Inside, Kurama was only halfway through is letter. His seemed to be one of the longer ones.


It said:


Kurama,


I hope you know that I'm very grateful to know you. You're the first man I've trusted for over eight years.


I thank you for acting as my teacher; even if was for only one day. I didn't mean to learn that quickly, sorry.


I don't know why, but you seemed to try the hardest to make so I wasn't afraid of you. Like when Yuseke and Kuwabara had that fight outside my room, and you tried to calm me down. I hope I wasn't rude to you when I asked you to leave me alone.


Also, I hope I didn't startle you when I used my telepathy on you for the first time. It was the only way I could get to you so I could heal you.


I also want to thank you for all the times you spent with me after I woke up from my injuries. And also for trying to comfort me after my mother left, that wasn't easy for me and you being next to me along with Botan really made me feel better, even if I didn't show it.


Also, when you shifted into your spirit fox form that one day, right after that spell Yukina put on me wore off, just so you could make me feel better. That's one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. And when I started scratching you behind the ear and you told me to keep doing it after I stopped, did you really like that? I hope I didn't insult you when I compared you to a dog, but the way you acted just reminded me of one, sorry.


To finish, I just want you to know that I'll never forget you, any of you for that matter. I really, really hope that I do see you again.


-Shiroi



Kurama folded up the letter and ran outside. Yuseke and Kuwabara had left before him, their letters must have been shorter, and he could hear bangs from in the forest, obviously they were punching trees.



Back tracking to before all of that, before Yuseke and Kuwabara even left the temple.


Their letters were short, probably two of the shortest ones.


Kuwabara's was longer than Yuseke's. It read:


Kuwabara,


I know I didn't get to know you that well, but I still want to thank you anyway. What touches me most about is your kindness. When you brought over the kittens when I first woke up, that was very sweet of you.


I know you're honor bound, but that still doesn't keep you from being nice. When you brought those kittens in that were all wet, asking me to dry them, you seemed relieved when I agreed to do it.


Let me ask; is your place full of cats?


Just to let you know, you're the second man I've come to trust. Sorry, Kurama got first, he was always around and I got to know him more.


Other than that, I thank you for protecting me against me father, I know he was a hard match against, and I'm glad you survived it.


Hope to see you again,


Shiroi



Yuseke's letter was shorter than that, since she knew him the least.


It read:


Yuseke,


I know I got to know you that least, but I still have to thank you for protecting me from my father and helping to show me that all men aren't bad. Just to you know; I came to trust you after I trusted Kurama and Kuwabara. Sorry to say it, but Kurama got first and Kuwabara got second. You got third, sorry. It's not that bad, Hiei got fourth, and yeah, I trust him, surprisingly.


You said you would tell me what your mother thought of the earring and necklace set, you never did. You were probably sidetracked though, and I can understand. I really hope she liked them.


I hope to see you again,


Shiroi



Both he and Kuwabara ran out at the same time and into the forest. As soon as they were in the both punched a tree.


"I didn't," Yuseke said, "I never did tell her."


"Tell her what?" Kuwabara asked as his tree went down.


"Tell her what my mom thought of the necklace and earring set. She loved it, and really wanted to meet Shiroi, so much for that."


"That stinks," Kuwabara said.


"I know, and I made a promise to her too."


Kuwabara groaned, "Did she rank you in her trust list?"


"Yeah," Yuseke said as he sat down, "I got third, but that's not bad, Hiei got fourth."


"I got second," Kuwabara said as he sat down. "Kurama got first, lucky."


"But it's true, she did get to know him more, she hardly ever saw us."


"Yeah," Kuwabara muttered. He looked around, "So when are we going to go back?"


***


Back in the shrine, Hiei was still reading his letter, and was surprised at the content.


Everyone was gone but him, but he was glad for it. His letter said:


Hiei,


I know I got to know you the least, but I still have a lot I want to say to you.


I want to thank you, for all those times you protected me and looked out for me. Like when Koenma showed up out of nowhere the day after I woke up, you went after me to make sure nothing happened to me. I'm sorry I knocked you down then, I had no intention of doing that.


I also want to thank you, for making me laugh for the very first time. I know it wasn't your intention, but I'm glad that those kittens were so curious about who you were.


I do wish I could've have learned my lightening and fire abilities from you, and I was looking forward to learning how to use the sword. Perhaps I would have, if my father hadn't shown up.


I want to thank for all the times you protected me from him. I knew when you came after me every time my father nearly had me that you didn't hate me, and when he was carrying me away and used me as a shield when you came to attack him, I didn't miss that fear in your eyes when you nearly hit me.


When he was about to kill you, I couldn't let him do it, that's why I came and took the hit. I couldn't let my father kill the only friends I had in eight years, I just couldn't. I know that's what motivated you to use you Black Dragon Wave on him and get him out of my life for good.


Were you the first one to find out my true name? If so, I'm glad you heard him, if you hadn't, I would never know my real name.


I don't know what put me on your bad side, but whatever did, I'm sorry.


Also, I want to thank you for helping find that little boy's mother at the carnival. I know you didn't want to do it, but I thank you for doing it anyway.


I'm sorry; it looks like we never did get to go back there. Since that spell Yukina put on me wore off, I couldn't walk, so going back was pretty much out of the question.


Like I've said to everyone else, I do hope one day I can see you again; I just don't when that will be.


I guess that's it then.


-Shiroi.


Hiei read it again so it could sink in. Then he folded it up and shot outside. He had caught a glimpse of the girls just outside the shrine, but he didn't know where Kurama, Kuwabara, or Yuseke were, but he really didn't want to know any way.
