Botan heavily sighed. She was at the park sitting alone in the grass. It was one of those days where Botan wanted to be alone to think. She would think about how her life would be in a few years, what her friends would be doing, and if she would ever be with the man she had fallen in love with.

She felt hopeless, she felt that there was absolutely no way he would return her feelings. He was far to busy to worry about something so insignificant as her. She was a hopeless dreamer and it didn't really help much that all her best friends where with some one. Yusuke and Kayko, Shizuru with her new boyfriend and Yukina and Kuwabara. Botan heaved another heavy sigh.

She smiled seeing children play across the field. Human child games had always caught her fancy. They were playing freeze tag, one of the short plumpy boys was the tagger and it was obvious the other kids used that as their advantages. It amazed her how some of the children would band together to pick on one child and there was one who found it wrong and would stand up for it. She watched as a one of the popular girls helped him out with tagging the other children. Botan watched them with a big grin on her face. It was sweet to see that there were kind people out there.

Perhaps one day she too would have children, she wanted more than anything have at least one child with him. She imagined her lover picking up their child and spinning him/her around. The child looked so much like his/her's father, the eyes and face, not to mention the child wasn't entirely human. The man she had fallen in love with was no human, but a demon and a very powerful one at that.

How she longed to be in his arms, feeling him hold her tightly and in a loving way, never letting go. She would dream how he would say 'I love you' to her and how she was his and his alone. But she knew that was never meant to be.

Botan felt sad and that glimmer of hope that still lingered on in her heart was killing her. Perhaps she need to do something, something that would tell her to keep hoping or to give up all entirely. Botan remembered a little game that that the humans would play to find out if some one liked them or not.

She looked around and found a flower close by her and picked it up. She sighed at how silly this was but she had to either move on or keep dreaming and this flower would decided. She picked the first yellow petal off saying to her self that he loved her, the second one was that he loved her not. She continued with this until she reached the final three. He loves me not, he loves me. As the second to last one dropped to the ground she felt her eyes sting a bit. "He loves me not…." She said looking at the last petal. "Well Botan, as the flower said, he doesn't love you, nor will he ever will. It's time to move on…" She so badly wanted to cry but maybe it was for the best for them to not be together. Besides he was a demon and she was a spirit, there would be no way that would ever work out. Botan sniffed and brought her knees to her chest. Hugging her self and still holding what was left of the flower. She was so caught up with her thoughts that she didn't notice there was some one standing behind her.

"You would leave a flower to decide your fate?" A mysterious voice came from behind her startlingly her. Botan turned around recognizing the voice and stared into the eyes of the man she loved.

Well hey there!! I have decided to do something different. You see I cant decide what paring I like more that involves our favorite Ferry Girl, so I am letting you decide. Who is this mysterious man? Will he love her back? No one knows! No one knows!!
