Okay, well, if anyone has wanted another chapter, here it is. This might be
the last chapter, or there might be one or two more. But I am trying to
finish this story this weekend so that I can focus on my other one. Here's
the story!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everyone was sitting around Genkai's temple because there was nothing to do except look for an antidote for the boys. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei were all just sitting in the living room, watching everyone else research.
"Hey, Yusuke! Why don't you get over here and try helping us?" Kurama asked after a few minutes.
Yusuke shrugged. "Because I'm too lazy."
Kurama snorted. "Damn right you are," he muttered under his breath. Suddenly, he found a very interesting plant staring him in the face. "Well, well. What do we have here?"
Hiei looked over his shoulder and his eyes widened slightly.
"Bingo. Hiei, would you tell Genkai that I may have found a cure?" Kurama asked not taking his eyes off the page.
Hiei nodded and reported the news to Genkai, who, in turn, relayed it to the girls. Botan immediately rushed over to Kurama and looked down at the page. She also found the plant and took the book over to the girls to read the description.
"The Fruit of Original Life. It is found only in the barren ice land in Makai. It is used to return the eater to the original form: if, for instance, the eater has been turned into another type of demon, so forth, this plant can be used to bring the user back to the original form and age of before the spell, or other such thing, was cast," Botan read. Then she looked around excitedly. "This means that we can turn the boys back into, well, boys soon!"
Kurama jumped on her shoulder and pawed an interesting fact that was in smaller print on the bottom. Getting the hint, Botan kept reading.
"This fruit will only work if picked on the full moon," Botan continued. "Well, all we have to do is find a plant and pick it tomorrow night."
"Wait, what 'We' are you talking about, Botan?" Yusuke asked angrily, but it came out as a lot of hissing for the girls.
"Translation, Hiei?" Genkai said. She had a sort of half-smile on her face when Hiei gave her the translation. "Well, it seems as though Keiko isn't going. Yusuke just ruled her out."
"Well, I'm going. I know the place better than any of you ever did," Yukina said softly.
"I think I'll stay here and watch the boys with Keiko," Shizuru said. "Besides, someone needs to make sure that my baby brother doesn't get himself into trouble or get himself and others hurt or killed."
"Alright then. So, Yukina and I will go, pick the fruit, and be back here before you know it," Botan chirped as she made a small portal.
"Alright. See you soon, I hope," Keiko said, looking worried.
Yukina smiled. "Don't worry, Keiko. We'll be back soon."
Keiko nodded and smiled at them.
"Good luck!"
"Tell me if you see any demons I know, so if they give you any trouble, tell them that Shizuru said that they better run for their lives!" Shizuru called after them.
~2 days later...~
Yukina and Botan were back, and they had four fruits.
"Sorry it took us so long," Botan said as she walked into the living room.
"I was worried about you!" Keiko said, getting up and walking over to them swiftly.
"We got the fruits," Yukina said, handing them over to Genkai.
~ About 4 hour later...~
The boys were back in their regular forms.
"Well, what about Karasu?" Botan asked.
"Considering that he was beaten by two HUMAN girls, he must be very weak. If we go now, we can still fight him, kill him, and escort him to Reikai without much trouble. It takes a lot of time to recover spirit energy," Kurama said, getting ready to go.
"Alright! Lets go beat that sadistic bastard a second time!!!" Yusuke said enthusiastically.
Everyone agreed and they all went and defeated Karasu. After that, they all went back home and went to sleep. The next day, everyone just hung out and talked at an arcade, even Hiei.
Fortunately for them, they had no other problems like that, though they did have another mission almost immediately after that little incident.
