6 Genkai's temple.
The small group appeared at the base of the long flight of stairs at Genkai's temple. Needless to say, the trudge seemed longer than it actually was. It was probably agonizing for Hiei, with the injuries he had. Shadow was positive that since Hiei and Mirae had a strong dislike for each other at the moment, that Mirae was enjoying every agonizing step that Hiei took. Yet even so, the two still through death glares at each other. This was going to be a LONG day.
When they finally reached the temple itself, the door was slid open almost immediately. A young girl stood there. With blue hair and wearing a green Kimoto. The moment she looked on them her red eyes filled with concern and worry. 'Red eyes?' Shadow looked down at the demon she was supporting. His eyes where red to. And they seemed to soften slightly at the sight of her. 'They both had red eyes, could they be …. NAW. They must be of the same type of demon.' Shadow thought, brushing off the small similarity.
"Hiei!" The girl cried and ran up to him. She reached out to gently touch his face but stopped just shy of touching it.
"Oh my, you're so badly burned. This isn't normal. Hiei what happened?" The girls voice was filled with concern, and just a hint of sadness. She then proceeded to take Hiei from Shadow, who gladly let her take him. Careful to make sure that she had a good hold of him before relinquishing her own hold.
"Yukina... It's, not important." he replied as Yukina carefully took him inside.
"She must be the healer she wanted to see. Isn't it nice? They could almost be brother and sister."
"Whatever. So Shadow, what do we do now?"
"I say we go inside and check it out. Besides, we can't leave without him, and, I'm covered in blood."
Mirae looked at her friend and agreed.
"So Shadow, what have you heard about this Genkai?" asked Mirae as they walked inside.
"Not much. Word is she competed in something called the dark tournament twice. Oh and she's a psychic, and is supposed to be very powerful."
"Hmm..." Mirae nodded once.
The two continued to walk though the temple. There where many interesting things to see in the temple. But so far no sign of..
"You two must be the one's who brought in Hiei."
Genkai.
The girls turned around to see an old woman who was shorter than Hiei.
"Hai, and you must be Genkai." said Shadow as she and Mirae bowed slightly in respect.
"I am. I got a look at Hiei's injuries. They're not normal. For him anyway. He's not in a very talkative mood right now so I was hoping you could tell me what happened."
Shadow got a nervous look and looked to Mirae to what to do. Mirae stood tall, much like a soldier would.
"It was I who gave him the injuries." she said. She did not have an apologetic tone, or look regretful. But she did show respect toward Genkai.
Genkai looked at her. As if studying her, her words, in to her very soul. She sensed something about this girl…
"Very well. That's all I need to know for now."
She then turned her attention to Shadow.
"You look like you've seen better days. There is a room over there if you wish to change out of those blood stained close. Will you.."
"No I got some. Thanks." replied shadow. And she stepped into the room.
Yukina then poked her head around the corner.
"Genkai, Boton is here to see you."
Genkai nodded in conformation.
"Of course." she tuned back to Mirae. "Now if you'll excuse me."
