Chapter 4
The group from the Ningenkai walked slowly down the stairs to the bottom of the small arena that Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara would be fighting in later on. Botan looked around in wonder. It wasn't as splendid as the arena that had been built for the Dark Tournament, but it was very nice, considering it wasn't an official Makai arena. It looked to be about half the size of the Dark Tournament Arena, painted in the theme of Black and Blue. The seats were black and had a blue stripe on them and they surrounded the whole arena's fighting grounds. They had a set of stairs in four places, dividing the sections of seats into four groups. This arena had no roof, so it was free to rain and shine sun in here at anytime...not that the demons would care. Down on the fighting grounds below, it was again similar to the arena of the Dark Tournament. There was a wall that seperated the seats from the grounds. Then there was a grassy circle that enclosed a slightly raised platform where the fights would take place. The platform, instead of the Dark TOurnament concrete grey, was black, and the wall that seperated the seats was blue.
The group made it to the bottom and hopped over the wall and to the grounds below. They caught sight of a few of the demons looking at them through a glare, while the other demons just ignored them entirly. Tentu was on the platform streching out, but the group decided not to talk with him anymore - at least not yet.
"This is a nice arena," Keiko whispered, though she didn't know why she whispered. They all nodded their heads in agreement with the statement.
"I wonder how long it took to build!" Kuwabara mused in wonder, his eyes flickering from one thing to the next.
"Probably not long. Things in the Makai realms are being built faster these days," Koenma relpied. Botan nodded her head and slowed down to where she was in the back of the group. 'I hope what Koenma said to me was true. I hope he thinks that I am not a burden, as I think of myself as one. I don't seem to do anything but send messages back and forth and blabber on and on about things and...' While she was thinking, she hadn't noticed that Koenma had slowed down to walk next to her. Koenma placed a hand on her shoulder...which caused her thoughts to stop abruptly.
"Stop thinking about it, I told that you weren't, believe what I say," He told her, and he was serious too. Botan nodded her head, she didn't know how to respond.
The group walked around the arena fighting grounds once and then made their way back up the stairs. When they got to the hallway again, they stopped.
"I am going to look around the hallway, if anyone wants to come, come right along," Yusuke invited and began to walk left, away from the direction of their rooms. Keiko, Kuwabara, Shizuru, and Kurama followed. Hiei grunted then appeared to vanish. Botan began walking back to her room, she was tired, so she figured she could nap. Koenma walked with her.
"So the ruler of Spirit World and his little helper decided to come too," a voice taunted from behind them. Koenma and Botan turned around. A blast of energy connected with Koenma's chest and he fell to the ground.
"It's funny, cause I always wanted to do that," a demon said. The demon was brown and had a horn on his forhead. He was wearing black fighting pants.
"Oh, and I always wanted to do this too!" The demon sent a blast aimed for Botan. Before it could hit her though, she was pulled to the ground with a thud, which sent the blast flying behind her. Botan looked at Koenma, who had grabbed her ankle and yanked her down.
"Thanks," she whispered. She got to her feet, helping Koenma up too. He was bleeding pretty badly.
"Get away from us you scum. Save it for the arena!" Botan shouted. The demon laughed.
"Alright sweets," he said, and in a flash he was in front of her, patting her head mockingly. Botan kicked him and he doubled over. With a 'hmph', she began to walk away helping Koenma as she went. They left the demon behind. Botan brought Koenma to his room and she opened the door. SHe helped him over to one of the beds and he sat down against the back board.
"That must hurt," she commented, not knowning what to say. She walked to the bathroom and took a cloth and soaked it in water from the sink. She walked out again with the cloth in her hands.
"I hope this helps," she told him and began to dab at the blood that was running from his wound. She let him continue to dab while she searched for bandages in the room. She found some lying in the closet. She grabbed as much as she could and brought them over to Koenma.
"Thanks for helping me back there," she told him.
"Of course,'' he grunted and he sat up. She pulled the shirt off of him and wrapped the bandages around the wound. Then she rummaged through his bag and found a clean shirt for him to wear. Koenma put it on with a little help from Botan.
"There, all better now!" she told him and he grinned.
"Yeah, all better, thanks," he told her, ' lets not tell the others about this," he added, knowing what Yusuke and the others would do if they did hear about it. None of them would wait until the fights to actually fight and the would probably end up destroying the whole thing in a bloody mess.
"Yeah, okay," she replied and stood up. She walked to the bathroom sink and washed her hands. She tooks Koenma's bloody shirt and rinsed it with water. It was still torn though she she drew it dry with the hair-dryer she brought with her. Then she stuck it in Koenma's bag so that the others would not see it.
"There, now they won't know," she told Koenma and sat down next to him.
"Thanks," he told her and dropped his hands on the bed to hold himself up. His fingers breifly touched Botan's fingers, but he quickly drew them away.
"If you don't mind now, I am going to go take a nap," Botan told him. He nodded and she walked out of the room, closing the door on the way. She walked to her own room and opened the door. She walked over to her bed and lay down, quickly falling asleep under her covers.
