PART 3 the search for Botan's soul

Found and Lost

the green bird flew after the Urameshi team, slowly flying behind them. They did not seem to know she was there because they never stopped walking. She followed them until they stopped at Genkai's shrine. "I wonder what's going on here?" the bird said and followed on in silence.

"Genkai?" Yusuke asked as he walked to the door. Genkai wasn't looking and did not see whom it was who was calling her.

"Go away, Botan is sleeping" she said "and you will wake her up if you keep yelling for me." She said still not looking up.

"Oh, alright grandma. I guess we should leave then." Yusuke said

"Dimwit?" she asked and looked to see Yusuke and the others. "Come on in. but be quiet." She said, "wait? What are you doing here? Did you all die?"

"No. We are here for Botan. We need to save her soul." Kurama said as they all entered the house. "It is a long story." Kurama said and told her the story of how they were kidnapped and Genkai knew the rest because Botan had told her.

"Hn." Hiei said and left the room.

"Where are you going shrimp?" Kuwabara said.

"Nowhere, as of it's any of your business." He said and was gone.
The green bird (can I just give her a new name? I know GB.) Had heard the whole story and was on her way back to Suzaku to tell him.

"So they have a week to get the ferry girl back to the world of the living or they will be trapped here. Not only that. Since they are not dead we could kill them. They with he torn between worlds and lost forever." Suzaku said.

"It's the perfect revenge." Said Byakko

"Yes, first we can trap them here over time and then we will kill them." Seiryu said
Hiei had managed to find Botan's room. He slipped in to she her. She was sleeping so peacefully like an angle. Her blue hair was down and all around her sleeping visage (face). Her lips were a soft cherry color and Hiei blushed when he saw them. He did not want to wake her but he wanted to see her eyes. They captivated him.

"Hiei..." Botan mumbled in her sleep. "Im sorry I broke the promise and your heart." She said. "All I ever..." she stopped.

Hiei sat next to her and brushed a few blue hairs way from her face. When he saw her lips move once more. "I want you to trust me," she stopped. Hiei saw her pink lips tremble with agony so he gently touched them with his soft fingertips. She began to breathe normally.

He moved his fingers away and leaned in to kiss her ever so lightly on the lips. It was a short and sweet kiss. "I forgive you," he said as he was about to leave her to sleep she stopped him with her words once more.

"I love you, Hiei," she whispered. Hiei was shocked, first for kissing her, second for what she said. Hiei left the room in a flash.
"So dimwit, how have you been doing without me around to baby you?" Genkai joked.

Yusuke only laughed and hugged her.

"It's getting late maybe you should stay for a while." Genkai said.

"I suppose we have time." Kurama said.

"Oh, yeah, free vacation without Koenma to bother us about a mission." Yusuke shot up. "What do you think Botan will say when she sees us?"
Botan woke up with the breeze of the wind kissing her face. "I thought the window was closed." She breathed in the fresh air. Reikai was a beautiful place. It was nearly twilight and Botan felt cold on the inside, like something was missing. "Hiei." She said. "That dream felt so real." She said and brought a finger up to her lips, which were still tingling.

"Do you always talk to your self?" came a voice from the open window. "Baka onna." He teased.

"Hiei." Botan was shocked and she ran to his arms but stopped just before she reached him. "You are not real?" she said and looked down at the ground. Then she felt a warm hand on her cheek.

"If I wasn't real could I do this..." he picked her up. And took her out the window, to the ground."

"Hiei?" she hugged him and stepped back. "Are you dead? Oh no." she said and tears filled her eyes.

"No, we came here to get you." he said

"We?" Botan turned around.

"Surprise!" the others yelled and hugged her.

"Ha, you guys are the best." Botan said and hugged Kurama tightly. "Oh, I missed you brother." She let him go and smiled. She paused when she saw Hiei leave.

"Hey, lets get some sleep, we have work to do you know." Kurama said only so Botan could be left to go after Hiei. The others knew this and went in.

"Hiei? Please come back." She yelled after him. Then she heard a voice in the background. "Hiei?"

"No." Suzaku hit her with a small bolt of lighting to knock her out. And she was gone.
Hiei: why do you do that?

Star: do what?

Hiei: add to the drama? We found her so now we can leave.

Star: calm down this story is made up. Starts to dance 99 red balloons.

Kurama: oh god no.

Yusuke: we will deal with her, just leave.
