Yuusuke tugged on his beloved's arm. "Botan, don't." He propped himself on one elbow and tried to stand. "I'll go."
"You're too weak," she insisted. "I can handle one little demon."
"Botan," he said desperately, "Can't you feel that ki? You can't do this. You've never fought a demon before! You have no idea--" The ferry girl silenced him with a kiss.
"Yuusuke, you're weak. Shut up. I'll be back in a second."
"You'll be on your back! AS IN DEAD!" he roared as she ran from the room.
"Don't worry about me. I'll always come out on top." She flashed him a grin and pulled her oar out from behind her.
"DO YOU REALLY WANT YOUR LAST WORDS TO BE A PIPPI LONGSTOCKING QUOTE?" Yuusuke bellowed at the last flash of a blue ponytail. Grunting with exertion, he pulled himself up, leaning heavily against the wall. But when he tried to take a step, he nearly collapsed. Kurama caught him around the chest just in time.
"Yuusuke, you should sit down."
"Sit down, hell," he growled. "If you think I'm not watching, that Herbal Essences has finally soaked into your brain.. Help me to the window." Sighing, Kurama respected his dark-haired friend's wishes and helped him half walk, half stumble to the window. Yuusuke's stance resembled that if Hiei's a moment before: Back tense, gripping the windowsill, eyes never leaving the woman in the ring. Kurama shook his head. Was he the only Tantei on this mission that WASN'T madly in love? He glanced at the floor and saw the top of a dark head, bent in sleep.
Okay, scratch that.....
***
Hiei cradled Aiko's head in his arms, sitting against the wall. She could have died, his brain screamed. All because your knees go weak at the sight of those eyes, you stupid lovestruck half-bred son of a snow whore! Hearing footsteps down the stairs, the koorime looked up. Botan's going to fight? "That's nice," he muttered before turning his attentions back on his love. Dammit, my Ryka! You had better wake up. If you don't, I'll.......you just better wake up. He glared up at the shadow that signified Anata. Bastard, his brain hissed. You put her through this. You made her defend her pride. You will pay for that. Make no mistake, you will pay. He heard cold, cruel laughter in his head.
Anata's "voice" chuckled. The koorime's blood boiled as he imagined the "tasks" Anata was speaking of.
You sorry son of a bitch. Again that horrible laugh.
***
Botan rested gently on her oar, toes barely skimming the cold stone beneath her. Where was her opponent? If she was going to win by default, she might as well leave.
"Oy!" Botan jerked at the sound of a voice high above her. Looking up, she saw a woman seemingly floating down from Anata's balcony. "Going somewhere?"
"Don't you wish," the ferry girl sneered, doing her best impression of Yuusuke in a fight.
"Actually," the warrior replied, "I do. I shouldn't have to waste my time and energy on a weakling like you." Enraged, Botan launched herself forward, only to be knocked backwards by a blast of heated air, as if from a fire.
"A windmaster," she gasped as she landed hard on her butt. Blue eyes smiling under a fringe of white hair, the demon bowed.
"Precisely. Tsukifuji Saori Akane Natsumi, at your service." Botan blinked.
"That's one hell of a name."
"Yes, I find it distracts my opponets long enough for me to attack." Before the words could register in her mind, Botan felt herself flying skyward in a rush of hot air.
"I knew Kuwabara was full of hot air, but this is utterly ridiculous," she muttered, planting herself on the oar and straining against the gale-force winds that emanated from the demon below her.
"Such bravery in the face of danger. Soon your lungs will overfill with air and explode, causing your immediate, painful death."
"Try me, weather bitch."
***
It was like a car wreck. The tiny king didn't want to watch, but couldn't pull his eyes away. "Dammit, Botan, you choose to protect him NOW? When the most powerful warrior yet is up?" Kazuma stood. "Where the hell are you going?"
"I gotta go help her." Koenma opened his mouth to say something, probably an insult, but Kuwabara lifted a hand to stop him. "Look, I know the real reason you wouldn't let me go with them. But no way can Botan beat this bitch on her own. I can't just sit here and watch!"
"Whaddaya think I do all the time?" Koenma threw a Pop-Tart at his head. "I can only open the portal to the Makai once a day! Besides, how do you think Anata would react to US cheating?"
"But he's cheating!"
"That's how evil retards operate, baka! They can cheat all they want, but when we cheat, it's a travesty!" Kuwabara sat down.
"Whassa travesty?" Koenma twitched as Botan hit stone again.
"Just shut up."
***
Yuusuke was having similar reactions, although the twitching may have been actual muscle spasms in his case. "Hiei!" he roared. "DO SOMETHING!" But the koorime was still sitting against the wall, cradling Aiko in his arms, blocking out the world. "Dammit!" His grip on the windowsill tightened as Botan was lifted high into the air. "She'll never make it....." Shakily, he lifted his arms, nearly falling forward. Kurama grabbed his shoulders.
"Yuusuke, what the hell are you doing?" he hissed. "You'll never make that!" Not paying attention, as usual, Yuusuke placed his arms in the now- familiar position, aiming his finger at the windmaster.
"REI GAN!" With a roar, he despotized the last of his energy into the ki bullet.
"He'll never make it, he'll never make it, he'll never--he made it!" Kurama's eyebrows shot up in surprise as he watched the warrior below disintegrate under the force of the powerful ki. "I'll be damned." He released the Tantei's shoulders, letting him fall gently into Aruma's lap.
"Nani? Kurama?"
"S'okay, neko." Kurama smiled. "He earned it." He headed for the stairs.
"Wait! Kurama! KURAMA!"
***
Kurama picked up the gently sleeping Botan, draping her legs over one arm and her torso over the other. "Botan," he whispered. "I envy the man who finally gets you." He kissed her forehead and started for the stairs.
"I saw that." He stiffened as Hiei's voice echoed throughout the room.
"I haven't the slightest idea of what you mean," the kitsune replied, straightening his spine and continuing to the steps. Hiei gently deposited his still-sleeping youko by the wall and made his way to the ring, smirking as he heard Aruma's shriek.
"KURAMA! TEG SIHT AKAB MO FO DRA!!!!" KURAMA! GET THIS RETARD OFF OF ME!
Letting the smirk fall from his lips, he glared with burning hatred at the darkened window above. "You're next," he growled, pointing an accusing finger. "You will suffer the same fate as your warriors. Consider yourself warned."

Akimi: Eep! Gomen nassai ka? I did NOT mean for this chapter to take this long to write. I'm serious. Forgive me.
