Here's Muni! How are ya? Thanks for readin' mah fiction! I wrote this chapter (or most of it) three nights before Opening night for my school's production of Annie, and I am a lead in it, so I had lots o' practicing to do. Sorry it took so incredibly long to post. I was just so busy. And I am so glad I'm getting to write this. I also wanna thank my latest reviewers.
bit-Blackmage- Thanks for both reviews! I love getting constructive criticism and that was awesome. I really loved what you told me and it seems like you've got a bunch of writing experience, like me. Anyway, thanks a lot and I'll try to keep what you said in mind.
Gojita The Saiyan Princess- I love your pen name. DBZ rocks! Anyway, yes poor Kuwa-kun. Don't worry, this plot's got more twists and turns than you know.
Hitori- Cute faces. Yeah it was morbid, and bizarre but I was in a weird mood when I got the idea. So, thanks for your review and I hope you all keep reading.
I don't own Yuu Yuu Hakusho or any characters in this fic. There are no original characters because I like to keep it simple. Please, no flames, R&R, but most importantly, enjoy!

Through Another's Eyes Chapter 4: Six Feet Under
Botan sighed, pretending to be extremely interested in her feet. The subject of Kuwabara's death had come up again. It was the umteenth time this week and no one seemed to understand her feelings. The trip taking him to Reiki was hard enough, like when she had to bring Genkai to Koenma. Only she knew Kuwabara better since then.
She bit her lip and tasted the familiar iron twitch. Her lip was bleeding. Her ears were covered by her hands as she tried desperately to block out the sound of Kurama speaking to Yuusuke. Unfortunately, it looked very important, as both of them were staring at her. She heard the faint whisper of her name and could see Yuusuke's lips form the syllables of her name.
"Botan?" Yuusuke scowled. Wild thoughts raced through his head. When Botan arrived at his front door, he had opened it to find tears rushing down her cheeks and her hyperventilating. He was very nervous about her, and he always would be. No matter what his relationship with Keiko was like or ended in, he would always have a sibling like love for Botan. It all came down to what she had to tell him. He desperately wanted to hear it, but she seemed as though she simply couldn't speak.
"Botan, we need you to tell us. What's wrong?" Yuusuke was quickly becoming very concerned. He blinked and his eyes widened. Botan had told them. He couldn't believe it. How could Hiei ever do something like that, and to a teammate?! That so wasn't the Hiei he knew. Yeah, Yuusuke knew the two had problems ever since the Urameshi Team originated. But he never knew they were so serious.
"I know, he told me first." Kurama nodded solemnly. "I find it hard to believe myself, but truthfully, he says he regrets it."
Yuusuke finished his thought. "With every fiber of his being..."
Kurama nodded. "Well, we know what we have to do...we must speak to Koenma. He will bring Kuwabara back, once the fact he is wanted back is confirmed." he turned to Keiko who had been absolutely silent the entire time. As she stared into her eyes...he wondered what she was thinking....
Keiko's POV
I sigh loudly. It doesn't bother anyone, they aren't listening anyway. I guess no one cares how feel about Kuwabara's death. But in case anyone's wondering, I do think about it. A lot, actually. Sometimes, I stay up at night, staring at my ceiling, thinking about him.
I mean, I know the basics of how the Reiki works, but I don't know what happens to the good, honored people like him. I just want to know what became of him. I mean, I know he deserves a place in heaven, but did he get it?
Yukina misses him. I heard Hiei said the reason he killed him was because he annoyed and hurt Yukina, but I can't believe it. I look at her and I see a small, loving, girl who's boyfriend and love of her life has just tragically passed away. Unfortunately, I can't say what Hiei sees. I think he's gone insane. I mean, Yuusuke told me about his life. Maybe it just suddenly got to him and he cracked.
Anyway, back to Kuwabara. I know everyone thinks I have no opinion when it comes to him, but I do. I can remember when he saved me from a bunch of thugs who wanted to kidnap me, back when Yuusuke died. He got into a fight, which he was terribly punished for, but he did it for me. It was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for me. He cared, like he knew how it felt.
I was so scared at first, because I didn't know him. Now I do. I know what a wonderful person he is...was. His death is a waste of a perfectly good person. In fact, one of the best people I have ever met.
Every so often, I wonder if he's above us, watching, caring, guarding us. Especially Yukina. And something tells me, that is Hiei apologizes, Kuwabara and him can finally be friends...
"Keiko?" Yuusuke turned to her, eyebrows creased. He was horribly confused. Why wouldn't Keiko speak? Was it possible Keiko cared? About Kuwabara? Yuusuke's instincts took over his feet as they slid his body towards his girlfriend. He had seen a stray tear trail down her cheek.
Reaching out, he embraced her, breathing hot on the back of her neck. Giving in, she lay her head on his shoulder and sniffed. After a few moments of awkward silence, save the harsh autumn breeze, Keiko wiped her eyes on the back of her hand and said "we have to go get Kuwabara." Lifting her head, Yuusuke searched through her eyes and saw only pure, white hope. He felt a smile come across his face. "Yeah. Let's."
Almost triumphantly, a tear slid down Kurama's pale face and he nodded, along with a weakly giggling Botan. "Let us go retrieve our friend."
And with that, they four gathered their coats, wrapped themselves with scarves, and set off into the dark, misty, October night.

To Be Continued....what will Koenma say to their request? Will Hiei apologize? Will Kuwabara return? Wait and see...stay tuned...^-^
(It may take a while for me to update, since I will not be near a computer. Sorry.)
