Disclaimer:I do not own any of the characters or yu yu hakusho just the fanfiction.

It was Christmas Eve and our favorite bubbly sky colored hair deity was out to ferry souls to the spirit world.

Botan was flying through the sky with a smile on her face as the wind blew through her hair but that smile soon vanished when she arrived at her first soul that would be ferried away.

"MOMMA,MOMMA PLEASE WAKE UP MOMMA!!!"Screamed a little girl yelling out to her mother and crying as two policemen tried to take the little girl away to calm her down.

Botan looked down at the lifeless body that was once the little girl mom and then turned to the spirit of the mom who just stared at herself with a blank tears. Slowly turning her head as she realized she was no longer alone botan heart wenched at the sight of the mother stared at her with lifeless eyes and tears streaming down her face. All the whispers that were being spread at the crowd that formed at the scened zoned out as the mother launched herself at Botan and cried frantically.

"PLEASE PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME FROM MY DAUGHTER PLEASE!!!!PLEASE OH PLEASE..."Wailed the mother as she slowly slid down to her knees and gripping onto Botan kimono.

Botan closed her eyes at the tears that were forming and opened her eyes with a mask in place for everyone who had this job knew that they couldn't let their emotions get in the way of there work. Looking at the lady with a smile she kneeled down and placed her hands upon her shoulder.

"Ma'am if you didn't push your daughter out of the way when you did she would have been the one to die...I'm sorry but theres nothing I can do to send you back to your body but atleast your daughter is safe."Stated Botan with a smile but her eyes shone sadness.

The mother stilled for awhile before releasing Botan kimono and cried some more she turned to Botan with a smile and bowed.

"May I see my daughter before I finally go?"Asked the mother.

Botan knodded and took the mother to wear the police men had taken her to calm her down. The mother kneeled over her daughter body and smiled stroking the girl hair loving and kissing her forehead when she had to bite back tears at what she heard.

"Mommy...don't go momma I love you please don't go..."Begged the little girl crying in her sleep.

Botan laid her hand on the ladies shoulder. While the mother tried to wipe the girl tears away but was invain.

"I can allow you to talk to your daughter while she asleep but you'll have to be quick."Stated Botan with a small smile and a little warmth in her eyes this time.

"Can you? PLEASE!"Begged the mother turning fully to Botan and grabbing her hand with a pleading look in her eyes.

Botan knodded and closed her eyes before they knew it they were in the girl dream. Botan and the mother looked over to what they heard was crying to see a little girl in a ball. The mother turned to Botan uncertain and Botan just knodding in reassurance the mother slowly walked over to the girl and bent down to hug her tightly.

"Maya, it's mommy please don't be sad...I know this will be hard on you and your father..but you have to be strong for mommy no matter what okay? Mommy loves you and will be looking over you and papa in heaven."Said the mother hugging Maya tighter.

Maya upon hearing and feeling her mother hugged tighter and cried shaking her head.

"WHY MOMMA WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE YOU AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE WHY!!??"Screamed Maya wailing and hugging tighter to her mother.

"Maya please do not wish this upon someone else..I raised you better then that now look at me."Demanded Maya mother softly.

Looking up with puffy red eyes and tear stains down her cheek she held back from sniffling. Maya mother smiled at that and kissed her forehead.

"I gotta go now sweetie but remember i'll always be with you never feel guilt because I don't regret dying I was able to protect my most precious thing in the world and see it grow up from the most beautiful view in the world I truly have no regrets."Said Maya mother standing up.

"When you wake up and see your dad smile big let him know that momma gonna be okay can you do that for me Maya?"Asked her mother.

Maya only knodded and hugged her mother tighter. Maya mother walked back over to Botan and turned around to see her daughter Maya smiling with tears and waving. Botan had to close her eyes as the mother only smiled brighter then ever at her daughter strong willed. Botan and Maya mother dissappeared and was soaring through the sky to the spirit world.

"What's your name may I ask?"Asked Maya mother startling Botan.

"Its Botan ." Replied Botan smiling brightly to lift the mother spirit up which it did.

Botan and arrived at the gates to where the souls were to go through which determined where they go Mrs. Okina turned around.

"Thank you thank you very much I can't thank you enough for what you did."Said happily.

"It was nothing please take care."Replied Botan smiling and bowing.

Botan left for her next soul to be ferried lost in her thought Botan gasped grabbing her head and breathing hard as she was losing control of her oar Botan leaned over her the front part of it and gripped it turning her knuckles white to put her oar back in control. Once she gained her senses Botan closed her eyes to collect herself and figure out what had just happened the pain and the picture she saw she wasn't sure but seemed familiar.

Flash of what Botan Saw

Little girl with sky blue hair tied in a high ponytail and a ribbon around it was skipping along a snowy road when she turned around her eyes grew wide and she screamed.
