What is in {} are my thoughts.
~The Forgotten Chapter~
"Sooo," Touya addressed Boton and Yukina, "I was thinking…. Shouldn't they be done by now? I think we can probably leave now."
"Oh yeah," Boton whispered to Yukina, "We never told him, did we?"
"No, we didn't," Yukina murmured, "What should we do?"
"What are you two whispering about?" Touya asked.
"Nothing," Boton bounced up and down nervously, "Nothing at all!"
"Okaaayy," Touya commented, watching Boton's bouncing with some trepidation, "Whatever. Go get packed up. I really think that we should leave."
"Oh," Yukina exclaimed, distressed, "but we CAN'T!"
"Why not?" Touya asked, confused.
Boton let out a sigh, "Yeah, no one can get in or out now…."
"What are you two talking about?"
Boton looked at Touya incredulously, "Don't you remember? They sealed it so that no one could get in or out."
***Silence***
"Uhhh," Touya looked at them blankly, "No one can get *IN*, but we could have gotten out at any time…."
"WHAT?" Boton shrieked.
"Bu—I thought—" Yukina stuttered, confused and frazzled.
"Yeah," Touya repeated, "Though, now that I think about it, I think that Koenma had it set up so he could, though it would be difficult, open the door once all the madness ended. I guess they forgot about us?"
"They FORGOT us? How could they FORGET us?" Boton yelled angrily.
"Maybe the technology malfunctioned and they just couldn't get in the door to us?" Yukina rationalized, "They wouldn't forget about us."
"That's possible," Boton relented, "Let's go pack up and leave."
Touya, Boton, and Yukina packed up, each with their own level of neatness, or lack thereof depending on the person. Once the bags had been packed, which really did not take very much time considering they had been rushed here and consequently not brought very much of their own things, the three stood anxiously around the door.
"Relax," Touya told the other two, "It opens. See?" Touya, grabbing the handle of the door, opened it and gestured for the ladies to precede him out the door.
"Freeeeeeeedooooooooooooooomm," Boton breathed, sitting on her oar and floating gently above the ground, "Shall we go ask Koenma what all has happened?"
"Sure," Yukina smiled at her, and Touya followed the two wordlessly.
***At Koenma's office***
"Koenmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," Boton burst through the door, "WE'RE BACK."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH," Koenma jumped nearly as high as his height, "What? Oh, it's you, Boton. Oh, and Yukina and Touya! Hello. Where have you all been?"
"…We've been in the isolated room, remember?" Boton asked, staring at her employer.
"Oh," Koenma looked at them nervously, "Oh right. Yes, yes of course."
"…YOU FORGOT. YOU FORGOT US. HOW COULD YOU FORGET US?" Boton ranted, "YOU—YOU—ARGHHHH. AND WHAT ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE? HOW DID YUSUKE AND KURAMA AND KUWABARA AND HIEI ALL FORGET US?"
"Well," Koenma explained, trying to placate his number one pilot of the river Styx, "We've had a lot going on."
"Mhmm," Boton glared at him disbelievingly.
"Anyway!" Koenma tried to change the subject, "I have a job for you. I need you to take a new case to Yusuke."
"Argh," Boton snapped, then relented, "Oh, alright. I can't say I couldn't see that coming. …I think we all want to know how Yusuke is magically back to being a normal detective, but that can wait. I'll run the case to Yusuke and then you can fill us all in."
"That sounds good," Yukina smiled, instantly forgiving them for forgetting her, "And then I was thinking the three of us could go find someplace to live together?"
"Live… together?" Koenma asked, instantly forgetting his question when Boton glared at him, "Never mind. Here's the file."
"I'd like that," Touya answered, "Yukina and I can go look while Boton runs the file to Yusuke."
"Okay!" Boton chirped happily.
And thus everything and everyone returned to a relative state of normalcy, with only stable, happy relations at the end of this turbulent story. The emotional scars faded, marriages were planned, children may or may not have been born, but above all, everyone got their own brand of happily-ever-after, filled with commotion and action, in short, life.
"You know," Yukina commented on the way out, "Boton, we could go search together for who my brother is!"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Boton answered, fleeing on her oar to Yusuke's school.
