Chapter 3: Pleasant News......
A/N Hope y'all enjoy... if you're still there....

The prince aimlessly dropped the ancient scroll on his table. The way their father argued finally made it to the point that he wanted to kill him. His rude behavior perfectly matched his own father's 'benevolent attitude' of the situation they were on......... She was on. As he recalled his father's last words.........
"What shall we do with a blind deity? it would be better if she's gone. You have no choice. She has no choice." his father's voice echoed on his head.
In his last attempt to calm himself, he slowly opened the ancient scroll and looked at the drawn pictures. It perfectly showed his father's explanation a while ago.........
*_*_**
"The special force have found this in the ancient ruins in Toujen, Makai." As he threw the scroll in front of his son.
"What's this?" The prince slowly picked up the scroll and opened it.
Pictures of youkais surrounding a sort of altar were drawn. On top of it were two small round objects that the prince recognized as his deity's eyes. The round moon glisten above them as a soul started to be attracted to the two small round objects.
"This tradition was passed by to the Kaze generation. On the 15th day of the full moon in Makai, they shall sacrifice a Reikai deity for their lives. The Kaze tribe believed that if they sacrifice a life from the Reikai Realm, they should be immortal. But, it seems their ancestors have just fooled them. It was a hoax, just to persuade the following generations to stay and live the tradition forever, also.... it serves as a way to infiltrate our realm.. By this, time past by and a lot of our deities became such guinea pigs of these youkais, no choice your grandfather had decided to purposely annihilate all of them. We admit that they are innocent youkais that was following the wrong belief. But we can't risk another deity." The King explained.
"I can't believe such youkais exist......... so therefore the youkais responsible for Botan's..." he tried to ask only to be cut-off.
"These youkais are definitely not related to the Kaze tribe." The king defended right away.
"But...... that's impossible!!!" Koenma yelled, getting tired of holding his patience.
" As I Have told you, your grandfather has left no trace of the Kaze tribe. Reinzien. This group of youkais are like your Reikai tanteis Kurama and Hiei....... they're just theifs. No special powers what so ever. They may have gotten into the ruins and stole the other scroll containing the ancient writings......." He explained further as he looked as his son's dumbfounded expression.
"So..... then it will be easy for the tantei to kill those youkais and retrieve the scroll!" Koenma pointed out. A tinge of his pain was slightly relieved only to find another grief to replace it.
"Yes, it is... You see Koenma......" The king stopped abruptly as he avoids his son's eyes.
"Koenma. We can't return Botan's sight back as you know. With her lost of sight, she is not suitable to be a deity anymore and---" His king hesitated.
"So what? she can stay here and help me in---" Koenma defended, what is his father's plan?
"She is no use of us anymore Koenma." The king replied.
"WHAT!! You want her to---" The prince stared at his father's stern face......
"There are two choices Koenma. Let the Reinzien do this useless tradition and let Botan's soul rest in peace or....... give her... her Humanity and let her live as a ningen." The king looked as his eyes challenging him to make a choice.
"That's it? because she is of no use of you, you'll leave her to die? or to live without knowing that I exist? without the memories she shared with the tantei?!" He disagreed. A pain shot him in his gut. He can't go through with this arrangement. He can't just imagine her being a mere stranger to him. to them.
He knew to well that for a Deity to live as a ningen or anybody from Reikai, they'll have to follow some processes and this includes giving them Humanity...... in exchange for their memories...
"I have already informed Mukuro of this new information we have found out. Hiei might as well have known of this by now. Inform me if the tantei have finished their mission. Report to me everything understood?" The king commanded. When he received a nod from his son he continued. "I'll let you decide for the 'other' arrangment when this is all over. Until then. You're dismissed." He finished.
"There will never be that 'other' arrangment!" The prince rebutted, as he clenched his fist tightly.
"You HAVE NO CHOICE." The king hissed at him as he stood up.
His son can't firmly understand everything he just said.
"You're not willing to release her from the pain she wakes up every night...... so might as well let her be sacrificed!!" The king shouted. The whole room trembled. The young prince shut his eyes tightly and tried to voice out his thoughts.
"Otousan!!! What about her friends? you can't just let her have a normal life without even giving her some of her memories!" Koenma replied obviously trying to avert his eyes from his own father.
"You're the prince of Reikai...... you should know the rules. Remember Hinageshi? she wanted a normal life, parents to care for her. But as you know, Botan cared for her. She loved Hinageshi so much that she was willing to fulfill her dream of having her own family. even though Botan knew that it will be the last time Hinageshi will remember her." The king explained, as he recalled Hinageshi's release a few years back.
"But still. I have to think of this first." He silently replied as he excused himself from the room.
*_**_***
"Jorju!" Koenma opened the door of his room and looked around for any sign of his blue oni.
"Hai?" Jorju came up from behind him carrying a pile of documents.
"Get Ayame IMMEDIATELY!" Koenma yelled at him furiously.
"Hai!!" The oni scurried down the hall.
'I can't make this decision alone.' he thought to himself as he goes inside his office.
~~~__~~~
"Then this fucking youkais are just worthless punks who just made trippings?" Hiei reiterated as Mukuro explained to him the great Enma-daioh had explained to her earlier.
"That's good! actually it would not be so hard to finish the job right? the only thing we need to do is wait for them on the 15th day of the full moon and it's finished you and your deity can live happily ever aft---" Mukuro stopped as she heard Hiei grabbing his cloak.
"Where the hell you going?" Mukuro asked.
"I'm going for a walk." The koorime replied as he went outside.
~~~__~~~
"Wake up!!" a small foot kicked him right in the face.
"What the fuck?" The jet-haired detective shook his head of irritation as he eyed the small figure of his elder in front of him.
"I'm just trying to get some sleep. for crying out loud it's 3:30 in the morning." He shrugged, it was half past one when they decided to end the little party they had.
"Wake him up someone's outside to see you." Genki looked at the orange head beside him and went outside.
Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama went outside. "Well who is it?" The orange head asked making a glance around.
"Hello..." a soft haunting voice greeted him from behind.
Nyaaaaaaaa..... "A..a..yame... it's only you." The orange head gradually calmed down.
"Koenma wants to see all of you." she explained.
