Hey everyone. I've got a great idea on what's going to happen, but I really don't know how to write it, so it might take me longer to update. This chapter is sort of a prologue to what's going to come in future chapters, after all you didn't think the last chapter was the end did you? Remember I don't own yyh or any of the characters. Please enjoy.

Recap of what happened last time:

"well I guess now would be the perfect time to ask this. Botan…" Kurama got down on one knee and held out a box to her. "would you give me the honor of marrying me?" "Yes! Yes!"

"well actually on second thought, I really haven't been getting along with Ayame that much. It would be absolutely crazy for me to ask her. Plus I like someone else sooo… I guess since everyone else is asking everyone else, Shizuru, will you marry me? I swear I've loved you for the longest time?" "umm…wow! This is sudden! Whattaya think baby bro? Me married to your boss, that would be a kick wouldn't it?" "does that mean yes?" "allright Koenma, I'll marry you. But I have to admit, I'm not the perfect woman, and I sure as heck ain't changing, got it?" "of course" Koenma put a beautfyil stone on Shizuru's figner.

"ok, ok..I was going to wait until later tonight. But I guess I'll do this now too. Keiko, will you be my wife?" "oh Yuseke! I thought you'd never ask!"

"oh girsl! You know what that means don't you? Shiori asked. Then botan, Keiko, and Shizuru all shouted out "TRIPLE WEDDING!!!!" "I can't believe you all are growing so much. There's so much to do, time to get started. Let's go girls." all of the females left the room.

"I can't believe it, I'm getting married!"

"and me!"

"and me too!"

"hn. Now she really is your mate. Great."

"Oh this is wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! I can't believe you three are growing up so much! And I'm going to have grandkids! Oh how wonderful!" "Umm.. Shiori, exactly how many grandkids are you expecting?" "Let's see, I need to have at least one boy and one girl, so how ever long it takes to get a boy and a girl!" Botan pales, and sneaks out into the room living room where the guys are when no one is looking. "Kurama, you're mother has gone crazy!" "What do you mean?" "She already started planning exactly how many kids we're going to have-" Everyone hears Shiori yell from the kitchen, "Yes you're right Kurama and Botan should have ten kids! No wait, twenty!" "Do you see what I mean? She's gone absolutely crazy!" "Hn. That's what you get baka onna." "Hiei stop calling her that." "Hn. Baka kitsune's mate." Well we don't have to worry about that, we aren't going to have twenty kids are we?" Kuwabara starts talking. "hehehe.. Kurama's gonna get lucky with our assistant!" In one second flat, Kuwabara was on the floor with a bump on his head from Kurama, a red hand print from Botan, a slight cut across the stomach from Hiei, and a black eye from Yuseke. "I didn't mean it that way, I swear! But shorty, why are you defending her. It's not like you're getting lucky with her too, are you?" Kuwabara's screams of pain could be heard throughout the city, as we was chased and beaten up by the furious foursome.

"oh Kurama?" "yes Okaasan?" "you are expecting to have children right?" "yes?" "good, well you better make sure that you have twenty children. An old woman like me needs grandchildren." "um, Okaasan, wouldn't one or two kids be enough?" "nonsense! You're having twenty children, and that's that!" everyone but Botan and Kurama. began laughing until Koenma walked in the front door.

"Koenma-sama, you left?" "hai." "when? Nobody saw you leave." "that's not important right now Botan. I need you to go ferry a soul right now, but you have to go alone." "Koenma-sama, why do you look so pale?" "because the soul is deep in the heart of Makai." "WHAT? YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! ARE YOU CRAZY! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY YOU'RE SENDING MY BOTAN OUT TO THE MIDDLE OF MAKAI ALL BY HERSELF!" Everyone was shocked at this sudden outburst, but they all shared the same opinion. "please don't ask me anymore questions, I'm only doing what my father told me to." "but

Koenma-sama, can't I at least take Kurama with me then?" "I'm sorry, but no. My father said no one must accompany you." "ok ok. I'll be back everyone. Don't worry." She gave Kurama a kiss goodbye, and then she left. As Koenma saw her hop on her oar, he became visibly paler.

"all right Koenma, you tell us why you sent her away or else. That's our Botan your sending away, you better have a damn good reason and I mean it!" "calm down Yuseke. I really don't know why she's being sent there. Maybe because she's the only one who knows her way around Makai." "Hn. And that's why she gets lost all the time, right?" "Hiei, I don't want you to use your jagan. When everything is taken care of she will come back. Do not try to find her. I'm only relaying the message that my father gave me." then Koenma left.

"Yuseke?" "yes Keiko?" "I think there's someone following Botan." "WHAT? I TOLD KOENMA HE SHOULDN'T BE LEAVING HER ALONE! BUT DID HE LISTEN TO ME? NO! I SWEAR IF SHE GETS HURT-" "Kurama calm down! We're all nervous here." "nervous. Who's nervous? I'm pissed." "Kurama, you know it as well as I do, that she'll be fine. She'll find a way to communicate us if she has to."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Two weeks later, and Botan still hasn't returned. Koenma is no where to be found, and Hiei's jagan is constantly hurting him.

Kurama, Yusuke, Yukina, Kuwabara, and Hiei are all on their way to get Keiko and Shizuru, who are both at Keiko's house, so they can go to the movies or the beach, basically anywhere to relax.

"Keiko better be ready when I get there. It's been half an hour. If she can take this long tonight, then I'd hate to know how long it's going to take her on our wedding night." They all see Kurama's eyes glaze over with sadness quickly before changing back to a calm and serene look. "kitsune, you miss her don't you?" "she should have been back by now, with as fast as that oar goes. I can't but think that something is terribly wrong."

As they reach Keiko's house, they see a dark shadow in the window suddenly grab Keiko and Shizuru, and seemingly disappear.

"KEIKO!!!" "Hn. That was no ordinary ningen. There's something about him that's oddly familiar." "yes. I feel the same way Hiei, almost as if I should know him." "him? We know it's a him?" "well not exactly, but we'll call it a him for now."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The shadow took Shizuru and Keiko to the heart of Makai and locked them in a cell, with a still unconscious Botan. "Botan? Oh my God! Botan! Wake up?" "Keiko? Shizuru? What are you two doing here? How did you get here? Where are the guys?" "one question at a time. We're here because we got kidnapped and taken here, wherever here is. And I have no idea where the guys are, but don't worry they'll find us."

The mysterious shadow walked towards the entrance of the cell that the girls were in. "ah! I see the pretty blue-haired ferry girl is awake." Botan looked at him and a wave of recognition and fear was visible in her eyes. "hey! I know who you are! You're k-"
