Kurama exclaimed during their fall. "What?" Yuusuke asked. "This happened when twice when there was a comet and eclipse at the same time." "What? This is certainly having nothing to do with the youkais!" Yuusuke exclaimed "But this time it might be caused by youkais, because there were so many openings this time. Remember Botan saying that there were people lost in a shrine and a group of people disappearing in the Tokyo tower? Normally, these opening would only have one at a time, and they would only open for about ten minutes or so. People usually got back into the real world as if nothing had happened." Kuwabara screamed "could we get back with in a day or two?" Kurama shook his head "No, probably one month or two, just see how fast we could find the root of all of this. Yuusuke, I'm afraid your wedding have to be delayed." Yuusuke frowned right away "Keiko would have killed me." Kurama said "I think Botan would tell her that before." Yuusuke sighed worried "She would kill me none the less." "That's what I called getting trouble!" Hiei said in a jeering voice. "okay, so what?" Yuusuke said. As they continued to fall. "What was the strange thing that would happen today?" I wondered as the guards that guarded the daimyo's palace stared at me, I have been waiting there since dawn. Then I heard a voice scream coming from above. Above? I stared up as I saw things dropping down, I jumped up on the nearest tree branch. Then I heard a thud, loud one! I stared down there was a group of people in a pile. Just as I was about to jump down from the tree trunk, I heard another yell. It was from above again. There was a pile of people falling down in the same place, this time, the thud was double loud. I swallowed, is this the strange thing which Shiroi Hime was referring to? I heard a loud cry. Again? Yes, again. Four people landed this time, three of them land with their feet the other land with his stomach. I glance up, Just to see if there would be more people falling down from the mid air. Then just as I was looking down, I saw a sword beside my neck. "Take that back, or I'll have to break it." I know that sword belonged to the little guy who landed on his feet. "See if you have the strength to do so." Hr said. True, he had pretty strong ki, but he only used a little amount of it. "Fine then." As one of my braids that was tied before my ear grew into a long string, twirled around his sword and broke it into two pieces. The braid grew back to its normal length. The guy took a step back as I took a look at him. I giggled "You're even an inch shorter than me!" The stared at me fierily as I heard another scream. "Get out of the way! quick!" I shouted to the people under the tree who were just scrambling to sit up or to get to their feet. Too late a warning, two people and a horse with a horn fall straight on top of him. Its was obvious that most people were injured. "Want to fight here or what?" I asked that little guy who is shorter than me. "Do you think you could win?" he asked with a sneer. "No, I don't think I can." He said "Then why are you asking?" I smiled innocently "Is there anything wrong with asking?" He eyed me "Who are you?" I didn't reply and jumped straight down from the tree. I know I seemed very suspicious now. The other two guys that landed on their feet stared at me, not angrily but very suspiciously. I ignore them. As I felt the fiery gaze of the short guy on my back. These guys were so strange, they didn't have a kimono on them. I walked to the horse, the horse had been attacked before he fell off from the tunnel. I put my hands on his forehead. "What are you trying to do to him?" the pink head that felled with the horse asked. "Cure it, what do you think I'm doing? Cut it up and sell it to the butcher or eat it up myself? I'm a vegetarian." I know all this was a bit too much information. The horsed closed his eyes at the healing process. After a while, all the scratches and bruises disappeared. "You are..." the girl asked, suspicious yet grateful. "Hoshimi, thirteen!" "No, not this." Said a black head who had landed on his feet. "Where are you from, what are you doing here." I said "from Heiian, that means here! I'm here to wait for strange things to happen because Shiroi hime told me to do this. I'm not here to welcome you all. But I guess you all falling here in the mid air was the strange thing." "Are you all right?" an extremely tall man with hair that covered his eyes asked a pretty girl beside him with blue hair and blue eyes. I started to walk away. I don't know what I'm doing there any way. "Hey, wait." I turned "What can I do for you?" I asked in a very sing song like voice. "Who's Shiroi Hime?" asked the red head guy though he looked more like a girl. "Oh, good question! I forgot to tell you, she was the daimyo who was protecting here's great grand aunt, she lived under the castle." The one who fell with his belly got up. "Shiroi hime? Is this the samurai time?" he asked dizzily. "Yes, you guessed it all right!" I said clapping my hands as if he had won a prize. "Little girl?" he said. "Hai?" I asked him back, quite ugly, but very honest looking while the red head was much more good looking but you never know what mischief hide under his penetrating green eyes. The black head was also honest, but still you can't under estimate him for I feel that he was much more powerful than the little guy who used the sword to threaten me. I pick the broken sword from the ground. I touched the broken end of it, it glowed gently as it started to grow back to its normal length. I handed it back to the little guy. "Do you want it?" I asked. He looked at me with a sort of fire in his eyes. I rolled my eyes as a evil smile appeared on his lips. He disappeared then reappeared at my back. I turned to him, clapped "You want to play a game with me?" He smiled "Just see if you could play it for three minutes as he disappeared again." I know he is from above. "Hiei, we are not here to kill little girls." Said the red head. His sword came down as I jumped off to the nearest tree branch. Hiei, turned back. I jumped back down. "Can I go now? Questioned me enough?" "Hoshimi, can you bring us to see Shiroi Hime?" asked a blonde with shoulder length curly hair and green eyes. Then another blonde looked at her. "Hououji Fuu?" she asked. "Hongo-san?" she replied looked as if these people knew each other already from the other end of the world. "Fine." I said. They all got up, whispering, some seemed to be injured as well, but they could walk to the underground route without tripping or falling over. "A wall?" the red head said. I nodded "You saw it! You must be strong then! Yes, this is sort of a separate world built by Shiroi Hime." "You're back. Hoshimi." Shiroi hime's voice rang out. "The voice...is in our hearts?" a green head who was holding Fuu Hououji's hand muttered. I whispered "Shiroi Hime is blind, mute and deaf. Yes she could hear see hear and talk." The wall disappeared. We walked in to the long corridor, decorated with bells and wood work. "seemed to be well educated." Said a black and very tall man. "Shiroi, is a hime." I replied. The end room where Shiroi Hime stayed. The door opened by itself, as always, then another door opened before we could see hime. They seemed to be shocked to see her. Shiroi hime was very beautiful, she had the size of a young girl, beautiful silvery white hair that was smooth and lighted like the moonlight, they spread out around her, she was dressed in a white spread out kimono with a red orb tied around her waist. She bowed before them. "I'm Shiroi, I apologize for any problems that my little niece had created. And I beg you all to sit down on the cushions." Then they stared at Shiroi's red eyes. Shiroi had her air of Riga around her. I saw a brown head about seventeen or eighteen didn't only stare at hime, I think he was in a trance. "Chiriko..." the guy who wore a mask nudged him "You're not paying attention." "Sorry...Chichiri." He replied. A brunette asked "Is hime really that old?" as I mounted the steps that led to hime's quarters. "I am old, older than you think, but time is nothing to me." Shiroi hime said "I think you all want to know why you were all here. You were here because of the opening of the tunnel of time, you were all falling here because in you subconscious, you felt that you have to come, you felt that there was some evil here. Even Enma Daiou had called his detectives here. Some evil force is here." "Evil force?" asked a red head girl, she was just a little taller than me. "Evil force, I don't know anything about them too. But sure this part of time were decaying. You might have noticed that there is now a civil war here. This evil was generated by this war." "Are we going to stop the war?" the red head girl asked. "Hikaru-san, you're mistaken, I want you all to get out of this. You're all innocent, I don't want you to get involved." Shiroi Hime turned to me. "Yumemi had gone out to run another errand for me today, I told her to come back at noon no matter what she found out or if she can't find out a thing, can you please go out again a look for her?" I bowed as I said "Yes, shall I go now hime?" "Yes, please." I left. Then a woman like guy said "Just to show hime that we were worthy and helpful, we should help to find Yumemi, agree? Tasuki?" The orange head called Tasuki just snorted. "Hey come with me." As soon as the three of us were out of the room the woman like man asked "Hoshimi, how much do you know about the evil? I mean, I'm not going to press you if Shiroi hime told you not to tell, but we wanted to help." I smiled "Well, you can think that I know and you can pretend that I know nothing." "What are you talking about?" asked Tasuki. "You don't have to know!" I said in another sing song voice. "I hate female especially little girls!" He bursts out. "Okay, hate me all you want, for I don't care!" I sang. "okay, got back to business, how are we going to find Yumemi?" I said "Yumemi, you can't just call for her in the street, well, you will remember her. She was all soft! Well beautiful in the other way. I mean not like Shiroi hime, Shiroi hime was beautiful in a very noble and icy way. And Yumemi was beautiful in a sweet way, she was all soft, pure and honey. Well, that's her description. Soft honey brown hair that reached the waist length, soft baby blue eyes. Soft voiced" Nuriko, learned her name from the most troublesome Tasuki. "You seemed to be quite jealous." I smiled back "Some times, she had good qualities that I were jealous of. We were not a like. I have creamy blond hair and green eyes, I'm stubborn, yet I have my way of doing things which no one could copy. Well, Yumemi was obedient, gentle kind and patient. So we were suitable for different jobs. She got to do the sensible ones and I got to do the quick ones that would have to have lots of wits." Just then we heard a scream. Shrill and female, Yumemi! </pre><p><a href="./">Back</a></p><p><a href=http://www.dreamhost.com/donate.cgi?id=216><img border=0 alt="Donate towards our web hosting bill!" src=https://secure.newdream.net/donate1.gif></a></p></body></html>
