Sinning
One mistake, a quick miscalculation... and everything caves in.
The ultimate devastation of the past week had finally passed. Shuichi Minamino was dead. His mother was informed that her son had been hit by an oncoming car -a tragedy- a drunk driver. Arrangements were made to reconstruct his body so that at the wake there wouldn't be as many unanswered questions... and so his mother would have at least one thing to console herself with.
Aside from family, Hiei was probably taking it worse then the others, but he masked his grief with an emotionless façade. Yusuke was only second to Hiei when it came to the loss of their dear friend... continually telling himself "if only I had worked harder, been quicker, fought better," the guilt was overwhelming him. Kuwabara although he was also clearly distressed by the loss of his friend, wasn't suffering as deeply as the rest of the team was. Botan was broken beyond words; she and Kurama had been involved with each other for a year or so. She was so devastated that they had to recruit another Ferry girl to guide his soul.
Actually, the blue haired apparition is who we shall begin our tale with.
During the next few weeks Botan became extremely unstable, and Koenma suspended her from work indefinitely until further notice. She was transported to the Ningenkai and commanded that she remain rested, she was given nearly every luxury- except for the company of her lost companion and for the next two years she continued to grieve.
Our story begins on a stormy night mid January, the rain was falling heavily and Botan was just beginning to make dinner. Placing the pot on the stove she smiled when she realized that she hadn't made miso soup since Kurama gave her the recipe. Bringing the warm broth to a boil, she was reading the next step when she heard a loud crash in her bedroom.
