Chapter 4: dangerous decisions
A/N I would like to explain to y'all (if y'all are there) that college is not going smoothly for me, as to let you know. Because of this I've been in the dumpster for like.. these past months. Yes, we don't spend summer. A week of no classes or a suspended day, is enough to bring us to an insane laughter of happiness. If you're wondering what school do I go to? Don't ask, because from where I am from, a LOT of schools is like this.

Yusuke scratches the back of his head as he completely focused on this newfound dilemma. "This is just simply dumb! Who could have wanted their memories to be void out of them?"
His argument did held some water in it but in this situation, His father made it clear.
"Even I can't do anything about it...I mean, this memory void would ease her painful memory of loosing her sight....but what about her memories? Our memories with her?" The prince added as he rested his frustrated head to his comfy chair.
"I don't get it, Botan can stay with us! Sis would like that!!" the orange- head surmised.
"Botan will really be devastated with this development." The kitsune fired at all of them. This agreement is not a good idea...
"This is nuts!" The Raizen descendant scowled at himself.
"After you guys apprehend the youkais, The process for her humanity is already done. Botan will be summoned here and they'll instantly give her, her humanity...." the prince explained as he gazed at rising sun. Its morning, he figures out.
"Then... Can we still see her?" Kurama asked, they had to know if they'll have the chance to see her, memory or not. With this maybe they'll have the opportunity to let her remember them.
"Unfortunately, no. The processes have already indicated her fate as a ningen. Being as which, her past life shall never be connected with her new life. In short, all of you will never be part of her life as a ningen." Koenma explained further, as he clenched his hands. If he hadn't permitted Botan to go after that soul, then she would've still be there with him, unharmed and still a deity.

"Where is he?!" Mukuro glared at her subordinates in frustration.
Her patience is slowly dissipating. He excused himself earlier for a walk and he is still not have come back. The other reikai tanteis will be here soon and sooner or later, the Reinzien will be here also, puny, as these youkais are they should take further precautions as to not underestimate their enemy.

She scratches her head in confusion, her heartbeat is still very frantic. She just felt Ayame's ki a while ago. It scared her. it has to be an emergency, and she very well know that all the commotion is about her. she wanted to help, but she couldn't. but still this is not the time to pity herself. It was time to move. If her friends are doing the best they could to help her get her justice. Then she will help herself get through her blindness. She'll have to learn to cope up with the idea. She would have to see her blindness as a gift.
Aroused by the fire of determination, she decided to move from her futon to open her fusuma. Only to find someone opening it for her.
Hiei.
"You're still awake?" a familiar voice whispered to her as she sits a foot from where he stands.
"I decided to have tea." She replied with the same manner.
He guided her out straight to the kitchen.
"I. " Hiei tried to say, only to be cut-off by the young woman's giggle.
"It's fine, Hiei. Why won't you get me a cup, the sugar and the tea? I know I can't expect you to make one. for me." she said softly as she smiled warmly at where she felt his ki. Yes. It was a clear insult for him. But he really doesn't know ningen rituals. And for the heck of it, he didn't care as he smirked at her.
--Would you mind if I just hold you tonight, give you everything you want. make you love me for all I am? Make you understand what I am to you? -
"Here's yours." She spoke as she finished making Hiei's.
"What's up?" she began to ask. First it was Ayame. Then him. What happened?
"I just came to visit." Hiei replied with.
If it hadn't been hot, she would have spilled her tea all over her. "You came to visit. visit?" she elaborated further. What's wrong with this woman? His mind questioned him.
"What the hell's wrong with me visiting. I have to know if Yukina and you are. safe." He admitted. As he looked away from the light-violet eyes staring blankly at him. He doesn't know why but eyes still holds something in it.
"Thanks. I decided to." Botan tried to reply.
"To what?" Hiei urged her to continue.
"I decided to help myself." Botan finally spilled out.
"Help? What are you saying?" Hiei asked again, this woman is really hard to understand.
"You know. I'll really try to cope up being blind. I hate you guys always pampering me." she said in a sad tone.
"Who says they're pampering you? They're just here because they found some silly excuse to be getting drunk and eat free food. Hn. no one's trying to make you feel special." Hiei tried to let her understand. And he lately knows that it was too much.
--I try to voice out what I want to say, I try to not let my mind get the best of me. Admitting what my heart tries to voice out kills the indifference within me. May be it's just because I don't want to loose you--
"That's not what I expect you to say Hiei. I shouldn't have given you tea all along." She replied with a pout as she jokingly pulled the half-filled cup possessively to herself.
"Hn. I'm just being honest." He smirked.
"I know. That's why I'm thinking of a good job I can do, with my condition to help out in Reikai." Botan replied as she bite at her nails thoughtlessly.
"You can't help there. Enma will just get mad at you." Hiei, replied as he looked at her intently.
"Aw, can you just for one second to just nod if I ever voice out something?! You're not this vocal with me when I say something stupid." She pouts again.
He smiled at her knowing she couldn't see him. "Hn. why would I? Then I don't have anyone to laugh at." He mocked her.
"You're not helping." Botan replied almost immediately as she sneer at him.
"But I know a place where you can be of service to." Hie figured out as he carried along with his plan.
"Kurama has a small garden a few miles away from here, with a cozy little shack. As you know, the kitsune has to live a ningen life. And expects ME to take care of does damn plants. so you could---" Hiei explained only to be cut-off.
"You. you said this shack is just a few miles away from here? so you guys could visit me anytime right?" Botan asked back urging him to continue as he signals with her hand.
"Hn. of course I'll visit, since I don't know if you can accomplish a puny little job such as this." Hiei replied with a smirk.

"Where the hell is he?!" The kitsune asked the raizen decendant beside him while throwing a few whips.
"How the hell do I know?" Yusuke replied as he dodge a few punches from his attacker.
"I didn't expect they're this many.." Mukuro said calmly as she threw a few punches at the youkai.
"Not that I need that shrimp for help. but I'm really getting tired of these youkais." Kuwabara breathe out as he slashes three youkais in one strike.
"Where the hell do they come from?" Kurama asked as he change to his youko form.
---
"Are you really sure that it's just a few miles? It's like we're walking till' forever!!" Botan complained, for her it had been nearly hours since they left the temple.
"Don't complain and just continue walking." Hiei replied with a smirk.
---
"I thought we could handle all of them!! good thing this kitsune here knows better!" Kuwabara cheered as he held up a beer and drank from it.
"Stop drinking them all up!!" Yusuke punched down at him as they walk up to the temple.
"Let's not waste this time to be with her.. I can't really try to say this, but good thing Enma allowed us to spend just this day with her." The kitsune said with a sigh.
"The question is. do you think the girls would be happy to know that we didn't tell them all of this?" Kuwabara asked, while scratching his head in confusion. As he imagined what his sister would do if she finds out all of this.
"Yeah. But, I already told Keiko about the thing that Botan would be shifted to another job and ya' know things like that. I can't lie to her to much." Yuske replied with a sad tone while clenching his fist.
---
"Oi! Genki-baasan! We're here! is Botan there?" Yuske asked with a smile as they found Yukina and genki standing in front of temple's gate.
"Uhm. Botan's missing." Yukina answered.
A/N not to good huh? Well I'll try with the next chapter.
Where the hell Hiei took Botan? Why the hell did he did that? Where the hell is Kurama's garden anyway? Hmmm...
