Botan could hear vocie moving about her she could hear them walking around though she could not see them all she could see was darkness all around her as she fought to return back to the light but her body was to weak and she was tried the only thing that keep her fighting was the image of her little sister Mayu smileing at her. She knew she had to surive if not for herself then for her sister she had to make sure Mayu was safe and out of harms way plus Mayu would never forgive her if she gave up with out at least putting up a fight. Botan grabed a hold of the image of her sister and fought her way agaist the darkness that so bad wanted to take her way forever she fought with all of her will to make it back to the light back to her sister, Her cold body was becomeing alittle warmer as she reached out for the light.

She could hear some one calling out her name as she fought to open her eyes

"Botan" Yusuke Wispered

Botan slowly opened her eyes blinking as the light blinde her "Yusuke" she wispered truning her head to look at him though it hurt

"Hey Botan how you feeling" he asked giveing her a smile

"Like I been hit my a monster truck" Botan said looking over at Kurma who stood next to Yusuke and for a second her eyes went wide

"He is'nt here" Kurma said as if he was reading her mind "we did'nt call anyone" he added

"Botan what happen to you" Yuskue asked

Botan did'nt say anything how could she tell them what really happen to her she could'nt tell them the truth they would look at her differnt she was scared to tell them the truth she did'nt want to put any of her friend's in danger and by telling the truth would put her friend's in danger

"I don't know" she lied closeing her eye's "I was walking home then I can't remeber the rest" she said Botan hated to lie to them but it had to be done she knew they where worried about her but she just could'nt tell them the truth

"Why where you walking home at this hour" Yusuke asked

"I had to drop my sister off and her friend's hosue and father had to work late" Botan said keeping her eyes closed

"Botan you should rest" Kurma said touching her shoulder

Botan looked up at him and she could see the saddness that was within them she quikely looked away and nooded her head

"One of us should stay with her" Yusuke said looking at his clock

"I will" Kuram said pulling out his keys "Take the car Yusuke" he said thowing the kets at him Yusuke nodded his head as he walked out of the room Kurma sat down in the chair next to Botan

"Kuram" Botan wispered

"Yes Botan" Kuram said looking up at her she was stareing at the celling her hands in her lap

"You wont tell him will you" she asked

"If you wish me not to then I wont but you should tell him he will be mad if he find's out and you have'nt told him" he said

"I can't tell him Kuram he can't know" Botan said as tears begun to fall down her face

"Why can't you" he asked standing up and toughing her shoulder

"Kurma I can't" she said looking away from him

"You have to tell someone Botan you can't keep doing this to yourself" Kuram said closeing his eyes

"I can't" Botan wispered closeing her eyes

Kurma sigh closeing his eyes as he sat back down he knew Botan was hurting and the knew that she was hideing something from them but what he did'nt know though he could see how it eat her up and he could hear the fear and sadness in her vocie and he could'nt help but feel like. Something more was going on with her though her would'nt push her into telling him or anyone eles but he knew that she needed to talk to someone that she needed to tell someone but she would'nt she was scared he could see te fear in her eyes.

Botan keep her eys closed though sleep would not come to her she could'nt stop her fears from getting the best of her when she would doze off the nightmares would come back and she would froce herself awake she did'nt want the nightmares to come she wanted only to forget at least for awahile. But the nightmares allways came she could not stop them from coming so she just stayed awake laying in bed she could feel hr eyes closeing she knew her body was tried and that she needed sleep and her agasit her will her eyes drifted close pulling her into yet other dark cold dream.
