Chapter 16: To home again!

Shi and Hiei waited at the bus stop for about 3 minutes before the bus rolled up to where they were and opened the sliding door. Shi instantly walked on but Hiei had been on enough of these recently to know he didn't like them.

"I'm not getting on that onna." He said simply as she turned back to him. "Come on Hiei don't make a scene in front of all these ningens." She said almost whispering the word 'human.'

"Or would you rather be starred at by everyone?" She said knowing Hiei would rather be invisible then to have everyone notice him. "Hn." He said finally stepping onto the bus as the door closed behind him.

Him and Shi walked to about the back of the bus but didn't get there without a few odd glances from people… probably the fact that they were both wearing complete black… or almost completely.

'They're staring.' Hiei said telepathically to Shi deciding mentally whether he should kill every last one of them or hold back on it being in such a public place as this.

'Would you like me to make them stare more?' She questioned and before Hiei could reply she burst out to the rest of the bus, "Hiei I love you to but we can't do that in public! How many times have I told you that?" At least ten people looked back at them.

"Shut up baka." Hiei ordered as she smiled over to him showing that she wasn't done yet.

"Hiei I cannot make love to you on this bus like last time!" She said loudly as some more people looked at them and some others just gave them sick looks.

"Why are you doing this?" Hiei questioned

"Because I can." He looked away silently.

"What would you like to get off this bus?"

"Hai."

"Okay then." A evil smile passed across her face, "Bye everyone my lover and I have to go now!" The same people looked back at her just to see her grab Hiei's hand as they passed under a bridge, when they came out from under the bridge the couple was gone.

Hiei and Shi appeared on her street; that smile still on her face. "That wasn't what I meant by getting off the bus." Hiei stated as he glared at her.

"Oh well it got us here quicker see." She pointed to the two-story house a few feet from them. "We got here in record time!" She said running up the driveway Hiei appearing at the doorstep.

Shi stopped and slowly opened the door to reveal a brightly lighted hallway, "this doesn't seem like the type of place a shadow demon would live in." Hiei stated as Shi just shrugged and started to run up the stairs.

"Why so quick?" He questioned following after her only at a walk. "I don't want to be here when or if my mother is home." She said turning into her room.

Hiei walked into the room remembering when he had come here before and tried to help Shi in trusting him. The thought brought back unwanted feelings to… it had also been the first time he had lied to her.

Shi hurried about from one side of the room to the other throwing clothes into an open suit case the sliding on her knees to her desk where a dusty card board box sat as if it had not been opened in months.

"How long have you live with this family?" Hiei questioned walking around the small room and looking at the empty top of her dresser where for a normal person some photos may be sitting… but none were here.

"I wouldn't consider this place or this person family but I had been living here for about six months before I got involved with you guys." She looked back at him a moment with her gray eyes then back at the box she had slid out from under the desk.

"What's in there?" He questioned as she reformed the top on the box making sure it was securely on it before pushing the whole box aside to.

"Nothing." She said although that didn't seem so since it took a bit more pressure to push the box then it would if nothing was in it and Hiei took note of this.

"Hn." She stood up again and looked around then zipped up the suitcase and grabbed the box. "Okay let's go then… wait you stay here." She said before disappearing into a nearby shadow.

It only took but a minute for the shadow demon to reappear in her exact spot as before. Hiei gave her a somewhat confused look noticing the stuff she had before was gone now.

"Well I didn't want to carry the stuff with me all day." This only made the confused look on Hiei's face to grow a bit more, "all day?" He questioned.

"Yeah I figured since I got you out of the temple now why not use the time to my advantage and since I have to be accompanied by someone as long I'm outside the temple that only assures that you can't go anywhere!" A smile passed across her face.

"So I was thinking we should spend the day doing normal things!" She said.

"By normal you mean ningen things?"

"Exactly now you're catching on! So let's go." She said grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the room and down the stairs. Shi stopped suddenly when she saw her… her foster mother.

Her foster mother stood in the archway that led to the living room a dumbfounded look on her face as she spotted Shi and Hiei. "What are you doing here?" Her mother questioned her voice shaking.

"I needed to get more of my stuff." She explained her eyes never moving from her mother's face. "No you can not come back here!" Her mother said seriously as Shi took the last step onto the polished hardwood floor.

"I needed my stuff after that I won't come back he-." Before she finished her mother came up and slapped her. "Don't Hiei." She said sensing Hiei's movement and then his sudden stop.

"I told you not to come back here!" Her mother almost shouted at her. But as she came back for another hit Shi's head shot towards her, her eyes slowly spinning into blackness stopping her mother in her tracks.

"No!" She shouted allowing her body to move on it's own. Her arms spread out about a foot apart and blackness started shooting from the open space in sharp edges towards her mother.

The black blades slashed her foster mother in many random places and then diminishing after the blow.

Shi's P.O.V

I was unable to stop myself or control the blades that were shooting out of me. I was barley even able to see what was happening I could hear her cries as blood fell from the deep lacerations.

I couldn't do this I didn't want to hurt anyone.

Normal P.O.V

Suddenly a larger black blade formed from the middle of the open space and shot out striking her foster mother in-between the eyes perfectly.

Shi's eyes cleared into their normal gray just as her mother fell to the ground dead blood falling everywhere. Shi's eyes widened in shock as she saw what she had done.

Falling to her knees her breath came in ragged breaths as she felt Hiei beside her, "I didn't want to hurt anyone." She said closing her eyes trying to block out the view of her foster mother's lifeless body.

The view was no longer there but the scent of blood still filled her nose and the view of how it had happened flooded her closed eyelids.

"It's okay." Came Hiei's voice still beside her. His voice seemed to soothe her for some reason as she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him pain still filled in her own eyes.

"We need to go." He said taking her hand and pulling her to her feet again. "Nani?" She asked as they flitted from view and reappearing outside and down the street a bit.

"If we stayed the-." He stopped suddenly as she cringed in pain for a moment then regained her composure. "I'm fine." She assured seeing the confused look on his face.

"Why are you so affected by killing?" He questioned as she started to walk again down the sidewalk in the opposite direction of the house. "No reason." There was much lie in her voice.

It was obvious that she either didn't know how or just wasn't taking that emotion out of her words. Killing had been in her past somewhere but where exactly and how was still a mystery.

"So are you up to spending a day with ningens?" Shi questioned changing her mood and the topic completely. "Hn not really but I don't feel like I have a choice." Hiei explained.

"Nope you don't have a choice!" She said grabbing his hand and dashing off in the direction of the first destination she had in mind.
