Chap. 5

"ow.man that hurt like hell." Kaori sat up in the snow rubbing her stomach. There was no blood where the dagger had been. Kurama must have healed me.but where is he?" Kaori ran back into the house running over to the spot where her dead parents had laid. "Where.where did they go? Whats going on? Wait! Kurama would never just leave me in the snow like that! Whats going on?" Kaori yelled loudly. She ran out of the house, running down the side walk looking for Kurama. "Maybe he is close by.or something." Kaori said to her self very confused, angry, and sad all at the same time. "Maybe.he's at home." Kaori said out loud to herself.

Kaori finally arrived at Kurama's. she looked into the window. A light was on and she could see Hiei sitting in the window. Kaori waved, but Hiei didn't even look to her direction. Kaori didn't really expect him to any way. Kaori ran up to the door, getting very angry, with tears in her eyes. She didn't know what was going on, her parents were dead, and Kurama had..supposedly left her there in the snow. Kaori put all her forse into her fist as she knocked on the door. She fell inside .

"Ow! What the.the door didn't open did it?" Kaori said in her head. She rolled over onto her back. The door was closed. "That's weird." Kaori got up and walked cautiously into the living room where she found Hiei sitting on the window sill. "Hiei could you please tell me what the hell is going on!?" Kaori yelled. Hiei never even turned around so much to answer her. He just sat there stairing out the window. Kaori sighed in aggravation and ran out of the room to look for Kurama.

Kaori walked by Kurama's room. The door was opened and she saw Kurama out of the corner of her eye. Kaori turned around and walked into his room. "Alright Kurama what the hell is going on! You better explain something to me because people know something i." Kaori stoped. Kurama was sitting on the corner of his bed, his head in his hands, tears running down his cheeks.

Kaori stood there dumbstruck. "Ku-rama whats wrong?" Kaori asked confused. He looked so sad, it made her want to cry as well. "Kurama?" Kaori said walking over to him. Kurama said silent. "Damn it Kurama say something!"

"stop all this nonsense Kurama. Pull yourself together." Hiei said walking into the room. "Thank you Hiei. Now tell me what is going on." Kaori said stamping her feet on the floor with a tear running down her cheek.

"Hiei, Koenma.he could do something about this, fix this." Kurama said finally looking up in desperation. "Kurama don't be a fool." Hiei snapped at him. "Will someone please tell me what is going on! Kurama I will help you if you just inform me!" Kaori said, another tear running down her cheek. "Kaori is dead and there's nothing you could do about it!" Hiei yelled.

Kaori froze. "Im not dead im right here!" Kaori yelled at them "I cant be dead! Do you guys here me!? Hello?!?" Kaori ran over and tried to shake Hiei's shoulder, but her hand went right through him.

Hiei's eyes widened as a chill went through his body. "Hiei? Whats wrong?" Kurama said surveying Hiei's facial expression. "N-nothing Kurama." Hiei said lying. He knew exactly what it was. He knew that Kaori was there and that she was confused. He decided to give all the information he could to her through a conversation with Kurama.

"Kurama, Kaori is dead, and knowing Koenma, Botan will come to her.eventually." Kurama nodded his head. Kaori couldn't believe what she was hearing. She really was dead. "Who's Botan?" She asked herself out loud. "I am!" Came a very happy voice behind her. Kaori whipped to see a blue haired girl wearing a pink kimono flying on an oar. "Um.hi." Kaori said in shock and surprise. What did she get herself into now?

"Botan? Where are you bringing me?" Kaori asked holding onto Botan's oar. "Im taking you to spirit world."

"I don't get it though. I thought you were supposed to take me to heaven." Kaori said confused.

"I was supposed to, but Koenma asked me to bring you to his office place. Must be something important." Botan replied with a smile.
