Botan slammed her fist into the cold marble of the bathroom sink. She shook with sadness. Big lines of tears ran down her face as she choked out the only word she needed to say.

"Genkai...."

Hiei opened the door to the apartment the team was staying in. Yukina, Keiko, and Shizuru looked at the door and turned back to Puu when they saw it was only Hiei. Hiei didn't mind, the more they left him alone the better. Keiko sniffed the air and frowned. She quickly turned to Hiei.

"Please, Hiei take a shower. You stink!" She exclaimed and held tighter to Puu. Hiei ignored the brunette and sat down in his usual place, which was by the open window. Keiko sigh and turned her attention to the blue fuzz in her lap as he squealed. "What's wrong Puu? Is Yusuke alright?" Puu looked down at the floor.

"I wonder how Botan's doing. She's been in there for 30 minutes." Shizuru said calmly. Hiei did no reaction, but listened in very carefully. Yukina nodded.

"She's been in there for a while. I'm going to try to talk to her." Yukina stood up and walked to a blue painted door. She knocked lightly on it, but no answer came. Yukina tried once more and still no answer. Shizuru looked at Yukina's feet and gasped.

"Yukina, your feet are soaking." She said. Yukina looked at her feet and jumped back. Hiei stood up and looked at the floor. Water was flowing into the carpet, soaking it up. Keiko and Shizuru stood up quickly. Keiko banged on the door, worried for her friend's safety.

"Botan! Botan? Botan!" She yelled. Yukina looked at Hiei.

"Please, open the door. Please." She pleaded to Hiei. Hiei took a good look at her and walked to the door. He swung his fist and the door flew open. Hiei entered and looked around. The sink was over-flowing and spilled water everywhere. Botan was sitting in a corner, curled up into a ball. Her hair was down and she laid there, unmoving. Hiei moved from the door way to Botan. He placed a hand on her back, trying to be as gentle as he could. Botan head rose a little higher and she looked up. Her purple eyes rested on the crimson orbs until she glanced at the girls entering. She ducked her head back into a ball. Shizuru ran up to her and shook her hard. She didn't respond.

"Botan, I know your not dead. Come on." Shizuru said. Yukina looked at Hiei again.

"Please, can you take her to the bedroom?" Hiei sighed and lifted up the ferry girl in his arms. He walked out of the room and Botan lifted her head up again. Hiei cocked an eyebrow but she putted a finger to her lips. She tucked her head in again and Hiei dropped her on the bed. Keiko was about to kick him out when Botans muffled voice stopped her.

"Get out ladies." Keiko blinked.

"What?" she asked, blinking again.

"Please, get out." The girls walked out uncertainly, leaving Hiei and Botan alone. Hiei opened his mouth but Botan spoke up.

"I guess you're wondering why I'm acting like this..." Botan said, her voice was dull. "I think you felt Genkai die, right? Well....I'm Genkai's second and last student."

====================================================
