Author Notes : Hey guys and girls, sorry it took a little bit longer for this one. I've been going through some stuff at home and with work, but don't worry I didn't forget about any of you. I've been so excited with my clothes shopping and holiday shopping that I didn't have much free time for writing. But here it is the next chapter of the story. I really want to thank PicassaWithCaramell she is a follower of mine, and a bit of a friend too :3 Anyways, I own only the plot so no suing me. OK? OK! Good.

Chapter 10 – The Best Birthday Ever

"Everyone... is this... for me?" Botan asked, standing there in front of everyone in astonishment.

Yusuke put his arm around her shoulder. "It sure is."

Botan continued to stand there, tears were forming in her eyes. "Who... who's idea was this?"

Yukina walked up front to meet Botan. "It was Kazuma and Shizuru's idea."

Botan walked over to the two siblings and put her arms around both of them. "Thanks Shizuru... and you too Kuwabara. This is wonderful."

"Well come on birthday girl, lets go get you some cake. Yukina and I made it especially for tonight." Shizuru said, leading the way to the kitchen with Yukina and Yusuke following behind, along with everyone else tagging in the rear. "I asked Kurama to invite Kaitou and his friends, but they were busy with school work.

"Well that's ok. At least we are all together." Botan said. "I want nothing more than to be with my friends. Oh! That cake looks wonderful!" She said as Shizuru took a cake out of the refrigerator. "What kind is it?"

"Its a yellow cake, with vanilla frosting between the layers and dark chocolate frosting on the outside." Shizuru replied. "Come on, here you go Botan." She handed Botan a plate with a rather large slice of cake.

"Oh Shizuru, this piece is too big, I don't want to get fat." She said in a slightly whiny voice.

"Hey don't worry, I'll share it with you." Yusuke added.

"Sounds good Yuu-chan! Good thinking!" Botan replied.

They spent an hour in the living room eating cake, listening to music and just talking. Shizuru handed Botan a wrapped box. "Here, this is for you... from Kazuma and me."

"For me? Thank you." She unwrapped the box and pulled out a dark cherry jewelry box. "Oh thank you, this is perfect."

"I thought you would need one now that you have jewelry." Botan looked down at her necklace. "Kazuma told me yesterday that Yusuke was getting you that, and I've never seen you wear jewelry so I felt it safe to assume that you didn't have a box to put them in."

"Oh Shizuru... Kuwabara... this is so wonderful. Thank you so much" Botan said as she sat the jewelry box down on the coffee table.

"Hey Botan."

"Oh yes Atsuko?" Botan replied.

"Well I can't give you your gift now, because it's too big for me to bring here with me."

"What do you mean?" Botan replied.

"Your room at our house... it's yours for keeps. I know you don't have a home in this world, and I know you and Yusuke love each other a lot, so I've decided to give you the guest room, as long as you will accept it." Atsuko said.

Botan looked at her with tears in her eyes. She already knew her answer, she wanted to stay here and be with Yusuke. She ran over to Atsuko and wrapped her arms around her in a tight hug. "Thank you Atsuko... this means a lot to me."

"Yeah mom... thanks." Yusuke added.

"Hey why are you thanking me Yusuke... I just don't want to see you all mopey if she went back to Spirit World." Atsuko said.

"Atsuko thank you so much." Botan cried, while Atsuko held her tight.

Botan wiped away the couple of tears in her eyes and turned around to see Yukina holding a gift for her also, it was a bit larger than the box Shizuru handed her. "Here Botan, this is for you."

Botan took it, it was a bit heavy. She sat it down on the floor and opened it slowly. "Oh, Yukina they're beautiful." Inside was a bed set, bright pink sheets, with a dark purple comfortor with a silver floral imprint throughout it. There was also 2 sets of matching curtains, a matching door mat and throw rug for in front of her bed. "Oh Yukina, this is so much, you shouldn't have... and how did you know to get me this?"

Yukina walked over to Botan and gave her a hug. "You've always been like an older sister to me Botan, I just had to get you something from myself, and Atsuko told me she was going to give you the guest room at the house, so I knew this would be the perfect gift for you."

"Those are beautiful Botan... Yukina sure has good taste in decoration." Atsuko said. "When we get home, I'll help you set it all up if you'd like... hell I'm sure Yusuke would help too if you ask him."

"She doesn't need to ask me. I already planned on helping her with it." Yusuke replied.

"Thank you Atsuko... and you too Yusuke... I'm really looking forward to staying here... I just wonder if Koenma will allow it?"

"Don't worry about the toddler Botan... I'll go with you when you tell him... I don't think he's gonna refuse it if I'm with you." Yusuke replied.

"Thanks Yusuke" Botan leaned over and gave him a small kiss on his cheek. Yusuke replied by holding her closely in his arms while everyone gave their rounds of "awws."

They all spent the next hour watching TV, and around 10:30 everyone decided to pack up and head home for the night. Shizuru drove Yusuke, Botan, and Atsuko home since the buses didn't run this late. Hiei and Kurama simply ran home. "Hey you guys, you all have a good night OK?" Shizuru asked.

"Thank you Shizuru, you too. And thank you for the party... it was wonderful." Botan replied. Everyone waved as Shizuru drove off. "Thank you Yusuke." Botan said.

"Hmm... what for?" He replied.

She wrapped her arms around him, and gave him a gentle kiss.

"For giving me the best birthday ever."
