All right everyone. Thanx for reviewing and everything. And a special thanx to Kurama_Botan_Lover who sent me an email giving me a great idea for a title. I'm having a few problems updating as soon as I can because of school, my other story that I have to update which happens to be a Hiei/Botan fic, and the fact that I just don't know what to write anymore. I'm stuck. But I'm going to keep on writing and just let whatever I write happen. Now enough of my stupid ramblings, and onto the story.
I do not own YYH or any of the characters, or, like I said before, I would have Kurama and Botan be together on the show.
Oh and you may have figured out who it is by now that kidnapped them, but have you figured out why? Email me and let me know.

Recap of what happened last time:
Though Kurama allowed Karasu to help, he, in no way, trusted Karasu. He was still worried for Botan, but Karasu did promise he would not do anything to anybody and, though he wasn't exactly the greatest demon ever, he was true to his word, Kurama knew that much. But he still found it hard to believe that Karasu was willing to help look for Botan just for a rematch. But at the moment, that didn't matter, all that did was finding her and making sure she was safe and sound in his arms. He promised himself that after all of this, if they both make it out alive, he has to make her his mate immediately. No more waiting. He'd waited long enough to tell her of his feelings, than waited even longer to ask her to marry him, then waited even longer to find out where she was, he wasn't about to wait anymore. The kitsune was getting very impatient, and that wasn't good news for the four accompanying him.
As they continued to walk, Kurama seemed to get more and more agitated and everyone backed off and gave him his space, including Karasu. "Hn. I'm surprised. For someone you wants a rematch so much you sure do seem to be backing away from the kitsune." "Yes and for someone that is supposed to have the strongest tie with him, you seem to be backing away also." "Hn." "That's what I thought."
The five of them continued to walk until they reached Murkuro's castle. "I find that very odd that we haven't been attacked, don't you Hiei?" "Hn. I found a scouter earlier and told him to report to Murkuro immediately to tell her that we were in her territory. Not only that, but Hinageshi did say that she told Murkuro of our coming." "Hinageshi? Now where have I heard that name before?" "She's another one of the ferry girls, and Karasu, I swear, if you touch her-" "But wait a minute here, I though the blue-haired onna, I think her name was Biscuit, or maybe it was Bricky. No I think it was Butter, or maybe Botchy?" Everyone was looking at Karasu like he was crazy. "Botan." "Right Botan. I thought she was your mate. Or do you now have two mates? Or is it not true that Blondie, or whatever her name is, is your mate?" "Botan is my mate. But Hinageshi is not to be touched either Karasu. If you want to live long enough to have a good fair match you better not touch her, and for heaven's sake get Botan's name right!" "all right whatever you crazy kitsune. I got it. If I want to live for a real match then I better not touch Hannibal." This time it was Hiei that spoke up. "Hinageshi. Get it straight Karasu." "Oy! Is this Hovercraft girl your mate?" "Hinageshi! And no she's not [not yet at least], but she is a good friend of the kitsune's mate." "Ok ok, so Butterball and Hankie or friends, and I can't kill them, touch them, or threaten them until after my match with Kurama. Got it."
While all that was going on, Yuseke and Kuwabara were having their own conversation. "Hahahaha!! Can you believe that Kuwabara? He called Botan Butterball, and he called Hinageshi Hankie! Hahahaha!!!" "Hahahaha!! How could anyone be so stupid?" "Haha!! Kuwabara you're pretty stupid yourself you know. You do know that he is only trying to rile Kurama up so he can get a fight before Botan is found right? Hahaha!!" "Shut-up Urameshi!! I'm gonna die of laughter here! Hahahaha!" "Hn. As long as you die, nobody really cares how." "Hahaha!! Say that to my face Shorty!! Hahaha!!" Hiei pulled his katana out of its sheath and put it on Kuwabara's neck. "Shut-up both of you. We're almost at the castle, as you can evidently see I hope, unless you're both as blind as you are dumb [which probably is the case]. Now get up so we can be on our way there."
The five of them walked the rest of the way to Murkuro's castle. When they got there she greeted them personally.
[This is definitely not what I expected. I was told of four not five people. And from the sound of the message that the girl gave me, they were supposed to be in somewhat good moods, though somewhat angered. Now look at them. Hiei looks about ready to kill, though he pretty much always looks like that, Kurama, my I've never seen him look so angry and agitated is that? Hn. Kuwabara I'm assuming is the carrot headed baka that the girl told me of, he looks scared, but can I really blame the ningen? And the other ningen, Yuseke Urameshi, the infamous spirit detective, he doesn't look very happy, and it looks like he was crying, hn, he couldn't have been. Men don't cry, at least my men don't cry. And who is the other one? I know I've seen him before…aha! Karasu! Karasu? That's odd. He doesn't look too happy…] Everyone was just watching Murkuro as she was lost in her thoughts staring at them. "Hn. Would you just-" Murkuro broke out of her thoughts, and at the same time Hinageshi popped up.
"Important news Kurama! We've found out that Botan is indeed safe!" Nobody missed the wave of relief that washed over Kurama's face at the mention that Botan was safe. "Ah, so this is all about a Reikai ferry girl. And exactly why are coming to me about this? You know I don't like ones from Reikai." Hinageshi decided it was time to leave and vanished before anyone could say goodbye. "Murkuro, she's the kitsune's mate, and since she's missing he just hasn't been the same. Hn. Weak ningen emotions." "Very well I shall help you since that is what you obviously came for, but only because she is your mate Kurama. And you can consider this the last time I do something like this. Never again, understood?" "Understood." "Very well, what do you need my help on?" "I only wish for you to stay and hear the messages that Hinageshi brings regarding Botan, and telepathically send them to Hiei, I don't want to put Hinageshi into anymore danger. Also, I hoped that you would find information regarding Botan's whereabouts and also send those telepathically to Hiei." "Very well. This is the only time I will do something like this. But I will help you until you find her and her safety is insured [now I'm becoming soft]." "Thank you Murkuro [who would have thought that Murkuro would help. Botan I'm on my way, wherever you are. I promise I will save you, and I will make you mine forever when I find you. I promise.]" "Now get on your way, I will send a message to Reikai right away concerning the girl's messages. I want this to be over with as soon as possible [I don't want to be soft anymore than I have to.] so you can all be on your way. Goodbye and good luck" "Good luck? Hn. Murkuro I think you're getting soft." "So are you Hiei." "What are you talking about?" "I read your mind. You were the one that told Kurama to request the girls messages to be taken somewhere safe. Don't lie either, I read your mind." "Hahahaha!!! Shorty has feelings for Hinageshi!!! Hashanah!!!"
Everyone hit Kuwabara and then they went on their way. Murkuro immediately went and wrote a note for Reikai like she said she would. It seemed that things were going good for the Reikai Tantei.
How was that? Confusing? Or good? Don't forget to read and review. Laterz all!
