((((Forgotten Darkness Part 1))))

Botan's eyes opened slowly and she felt different. The air felt real and she felt alive literally. "Am I human Again?' she asked herself

"You would be if that's what you were?" came a friendly voice.

"Nozomi?" She sat up "where am I? Wasn't I with Hiei?" she asked

"No, you were walking with me talking about how you wanted to find Hiei before you passed out." he lied and sat next to her on the bed "By the way how are you feeling?" he asked her

It took a moment for everything to catch up... "Did you said that I would be human if I was one?" she asked "what does that mean?" she sat up higher

"Let me explain... first off I've been hiding something form you. His eyes flashed, "I am half water demon, half Spirit." he said

"Okay..." Botan was freaked now and she did not feel as safe with Nozomi as before

"You are a demon too, well half just like me." he said

"What? no." she said not believing him

"Look in the mirror?" he said helping her up. Botan walked into the bathroom and saw her soft skin and Pitch black hair with two light blue strips at each side. Her eyes were a Smokey gray color.

"Oh dear." she said "I though I was human?" she said "Koenma told me that..." Botan was mystified and felt a headache coming on

"Calm down and I can bring you to someone who can help you." he said

"Who's that?" Botan asked

"Your mother." Nozomi said

Botan's one true dream was to find her family, her mother. Botan would finally get to see her mother. Botan clapped her hands together causing her charms to jingle. "Oh wait what about my friends." she said

"I left a note for them." he lied

"Okay." Botan said 'after this I can find Hiei and tell him everything. It will be alright." Botan smiled

Koenma explained the Ferry cycle to the four boys. "That's why she was acting so strange." Yusuke said "she could have told us." he said

"Yeah."

"Hn. she's not human, now is she?" Hiei said "what happened, Koenma losing your edge."

"Look Hiei, we lost her file, well actually it was stolen and she did not remember herself so I made up a past. I had no idea that she was the Divinity of darkness." he said

"Apparently." Hiei said

"So what now?" Kuwabara asked

"You need to bring Botan here so we can explain everything." Koenma said

"No! I think 'you' need to explain how you lied to her, alone." Yusuke shot

"Agreed." Kurama said

00000000000000000000000000000

"Is this it?" Botan asked Nozomi as the came to a normal looking house in the Makai. It was blue with white trim and it was two stories.

"Yes. Your mother lives here." he said leading her to the door "I'll wait for you out here." he smiled

Botan walked into the cozy house, she saw homes like this on TV and never imagined that she would ever see one for real. It smelled of cookies and happiness.

"Mother?" Botan called out timidly.

"Botan, my daughter is that you?" She said

"Yes, where are you?" she said

And young woman with dark blue hair walked down the stairs. "You are back."

"Mother, I need you to tell me about my past...I'm so confused right now, please help me." Botan cried

"Oh my child do not despair all will be revealed to you." he mother hugged her

Yusuke and the others returned to the room to find the girls passed out on the floor. Hiei ran to Yukina and tried to wake her but nothing would wake them. Hiei Put his sister in her bed, while Kurama took Star, Kuwabara took is sister and Yusuke put Kayko in bed.

"This is just great, Botan is missing and the girls are comatose." Yusuke said angrily. "Who did this?" he asked

"Guys." Kuwabara called from the balcony "a demon was in here." he said

"Yes a water demon..." Kurama observed the water on the wall

Hiei was on the balcony searching for Botan with his Jagan eye. "She's not in the Ningenkai anymore." he said

"Oh that narrows it down." Yusuke said "what's this?" he asked finding a blue cloth on the balcony

"The kidnapper must have gotten snagged on his way in." Kurama said

Hiei saw that cloth somewhere before... "That Bastard." Hiei said

"What is it Hiei?" Kurama asked

"Botan's new friend." Hiei said

"Huh? What friend?" Kuwabara asked dumbly
