Yuusuke's eyes shot open in shock as he felt hot tears against his cheeks. He pulled away so that they were looking into each other's eyes. "Botan....I don't...how long.....?"
"Ever since I met you," she whispered. "I knew that under that dumb-ass facade there had to be something worth loving and there was and I'm ruining everything there is between you and Keiko and I'm supposed to belong to Koenma..." she trailed of at the fury in Yuusuke's face.
"He OWNS you?" he hissed. She nodded.
"Not how you're thinking. See, the Lord of the Dead has to have an heir. Koenma chose me to produce that heir." Yuusuke bowed his head.
"Yeah, just what I need right now." Botan leaned back.
"What?" Yuusuke leaned over her to whisper before catching the ferry girl's lips with his own.
"To be in love with a god's girlfriend."
***
"YUUSUKE!! KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" Koenma leapt onto Kuwabara's shoulders and began launching things at the screen. "DAMN YOU!" Actually, he was only partially angry at the Tantei's actions. Mostly, he was hurt by Botan's admission. She knew they were being followed by cameras. Did she say it on purpose, knowing he would hear? Did she say it only to hurt him? He couldn't picture her being spiteful, it wasn't in her character. As he continued his assault on the screen, he felt the first tears slide down his little-boy cheeks. He couldn't cry in front of the oaf!
"Uh, dude? Can you stop ramming your penis into my head?" Kazuma asked.
"What?"
"Well, every time you throw something, you rock backwards, and when you try to get your balance, you ram your penis into the back of my head. It's fairly annoying." Wiping tears away and mentally commanding any others not to spill, Koenma hopped onto his desk and "hmph"ed.
***
Botan and Yuusuke pulled apart, fairly gasping for air. "Damn oxygen," he muttered. Botan smiled up at him.
"Okay, lovebirds, we're there." Aiko's semi-worried face peeked around the corner of their carridge.
"Why do you look so worried?" Yuusuke asked, climbing out and helping the ferry girl out. "We'll be on our best behavior." He grinned and wrapped an arm around Botan's waist. Aiko half-smiled and entered the building.
"Master Anata," she cried, kneeling on the tiled floor in front of a giant black mass. "I bring you Botan, ferry girl of the dead, and Urameshi Yuusuke, a Tantei in the employ of Koenma."
"Excellent. You've done well, Aiko." A black streak shot out from the mass, aimed for Yuusuke's head. It struck and---bounced off? Yuusuke lowered his ki sheild and raised his arm in the all-too familiar posistion.
"I figured something like this would happen. REI GAN!" Anata opened his mouth and absorbed the blast. "Dammit! Am I the only one who can't do that?"
"Apparantley." Anata fired the blast back at Yuusuke and Botan, making Yuusuke raise his ki shield around the both of them.
"What about Aiko?" Botan cried, pulling herself close to him so that the shield didn't have to be so large.
"She's on their side," he said, scowling both at her betrayal and how quickly his shield was weakening. "He won't harm her."
"It won't hold!" Aiko whispered. She had to choose: Help the only reason she wasn't a rotting corspe on the outskirts of the city, or two of the few people that the only person she trusted trusted? Wait, that last thought made no sense.....dammit, just call them friends. She closed her eyes as she realized the only answer. "KUDASAI!" she roared, launching herself into the path of the blast. The Tantei's ki overwhelming her, she collasped to her knees.
"Aiko!" Yuusuke yelled, lowering his shield. Okay, now he was confused. Wasn't she with him? That didn't matter, she had quite possibly saved both his and Botan's lives.
"Aruma! Attack!" A woman, attired in only a leather bustie and short shorts, weilding twin swords, leapt into action, knocking Yuusuke unconsious as he leaned over Aiko's fallen form, then Botan as she dove for him.
"Too easy," she sniffed, then froze. She thought she had caught a scent.....no, it couldn't be. He was happy in the Ningenkai now, he wouldn't return........would he?
"Aruma! Take them to the eastern tower! The other two will be here soon enough." Nodding, not bothering to ask who the other two were, Aruma snatched Aiko up by the collar and barked orders to two lesser demons to do the same.
That scent......

Hiei rested his head on the burgandy pillow, breathing in deeply. It smelled like her. Like smoldering wood and roses. Roses. Grimmacing, Hiei sat up. Why did that dammed fox follow him everywhere? With a sigh, he stretched out on the mattress and closed his eyes. He would stay with Aiko this time. They would fufill their dream: To have a family, watch the Yami grow wealthy and powerful under their rule, and stay here forever. They used to talk long into the night, planning how they would rule the expansive land, full of powerful demons.
The koorime rolled over. But something about what Kurama had said bothered him. "Just think carefully before you choose." What did he mean by--- Wait.....he shot straight upwards. He couldn't sense Aiko's ki anymore.
"Hiei!" Kurama's voice yelled down the hallway, the speaker coming into view a minute later. So he felt it too. "I've lost Yuusuke and Botan's ki!" Hiei stood.
"And I've lost Aiko's. Where'd you last sense them?" Any anger between them was put aside as they set out to find their allies and friends.
***
"Over here!" Hiei's eyes narrowed as he perched on the branch. This place reeked of ill intentions. It was the last place he had sensed Aiko, as well. This did not bode well with the koorime.....
"In that tower!" Kurama yelled, running towards it. Hiei leapt at the window, drawing his sword and slashing at the metal screen upon it while hanging off of it with the other hand. Kurama leapt up and perched on the windowsil by him. "You're going to remove your arm. The good one. Move." Hiei sneered and moved onto the nearby ledge, watching as Kurama leapt back, rose in hand. "ROSE WHIP!" He slashed at the frame, using the whip as a vine to swing into the room, Hiei close behind. Kurama landed on his feet and bowed, rose petals twirling gracefully to the floor behind him.
"Show off," he muttered, glancing around for Aiko. Finding her in a chair across the room, he dashed over and pulled her to him, cradling her head against his chest. "My Ryka," he whispered. "My Ryka." Kurama spotted Botan and Yuusuke across the room, curled together in a bed.
"About time," he murmured.
"Yes, it is." The door slammed open to reveal Aruma, the same girl that had attacked them, standing with sword in hand. Her eyes widened as she realized whose ki this was. Clearing her throat, she announced Anata's rules. "If you want to take them back with you, each of you must defeat one of Anata's warriors. That means each and every one of you. The tournament will begin in one hour." As she turned to leave, she heard someone's voice in her brain. Whirling, she glared straight at the kitsune before spinning, hair twirling like an ebony cape behind her. Hiei's eyes shone upon his softly smiling friend.
"It would seem she remembers you."
*** Akimi: Woah, I am on a cliffie kick.
Tien-Su: You kick cliffs? Wouldn't that, like, hurt?
Akimi: -_-;; Ignore him. Reviewer recognition!
silverarcher788: Why thank you! **bows** Yay! I feel special and loved!
Kyoko:Dude, over-enthusiastic much? I will post Death Dance a.) When my lazy ass finishes it, and b.) After my lazy ass finishes this one, because it's a SEQUEL. That's kinda how it works.
Tien-Su: Dude, you misspelled arse.
Akimi: You shut up. Chapter preview!
In Chapter Five: Kurama engages in the first battle against Aruma, and we discover just what connection they have.
Akimi: Woohoo! Aruma is my friend's OC, and this plotline is totally different from what she origionally came up with, but who gives an anal- dwelling butt monkey! This is not one of my best chapters, but oh well. Next one will be better! Ja matte ne, minna-san!
