I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. If I did, this wouldn't be just a story.
Notice: this may very well be the last chapter for this story. Then MAYBE a sequel.
This is like, more then four hours after the last chapter.

They had already defeated Game master and sniper, now all they had to do was to find Botan and defeat Sensui. A few of them were getting tire of walking, for they had been doing nothing but walking and fighting for the last five hours.
"Hey Mitarai, when are we going to get to Sensui?" Yusuke asked, speaking for the group. Mitarai, or seaman, looked back at Yusuke then back ahead of him, trying to figure that out for himself.
"He could be anywhere. Botan may not be with him anyways. I am going to guess that Sensui is in the main room. The one where they are opening the door way to hell." Mitarai told them when he sensed that he was going to yell at him for an answer. No one said anything when he told them that bit of information. They just continued to look ahead of themselves.
They were getting deeper and deeper into the cave as each moment passed. They were also getting closer and closer to the ones who they sought out most with every moment. No body said anything as the turned corners and went down antechambers, they were deathly silent. Then as they were turning the final corner, they saw light. The light that they saw was coming from the main camber. Sensui was waiting for them.
This was it; this was there moment of truth. Would they fail? Was Botan dead? Was she even here? The only one who knows a little of what to expect was Mitarai, who used to work for the madman.
"This is it men. This is the moment we win it all or lose everything. The human race, Botan, the children, everything sits on this final battle. We have to win but that doesn't mean that we will." Genkai said as the approached the entrance of the massive cavern.
When they got there Sensui was sitting on a couch, Itsuki was sitting cross legged in a boat, and Botan was no where to be seen. "Where is my mate?" Zeru yelled out when he saw that his love was not in the room. Sensui barely looked up at the outburst. It didn't surprise him. No one answered him and they just ignored the group of angry people at the doorway to the cavern.
"Hey! Are you listening? He asked you were his mate is!" Yusuke yelled trying to help his friend out. Only then did Sensui look up at them. He had an insane smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about. Who's your 'mate'?" he asked while getting up from the overly stuffed couch. Yusuke briefly wondered how they got it down there but quickly re-focused on the task at hand. They had to get Botan out of there. Alive.
"What do you mean, 'who's your mate'? You know damn well who she is! You kidnapped her! She's your own god damn sister! How could you not know her?" Kurama yelled out fed up with Sensui and all he had done to them. Everyone looked at Kurama shocked at his out burst. Yusuke couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't every day that you saw Kurama *this* mad.
"Oh you mean Botan. I'm sorry, but she's not your mate, well at least not anymore," everyone looked shocked. What did he mean 'at least not anymore'? "Botan, could you and your mate please come here?" Sensui said while he looked to the left of the group where there was another doorway. Two figures could be seen walking towards the cavern, but they couldn't see who they were. When they saw who it was they all paled. Wasn't he supposed to be stone dead?
The two figures where none other then Botan and Karasu.
"Botan! What are you doing with him? Why? Please, tell me!" Zeru yelled out broken when he saw the deadened look in his mate's eyes. She didn't even look at them but continued her walk with Karasu towards her half-brother.
"You called dear brother? What is it that you need?" She asked when she got next to him. Sensui smiled at her and then turned back towards the group at the door. His smile turned into an insane cross between a smile and a smirk.
"As you can see, demon scum, she no longer remembers you. Itsuki performed an enchantment. She now holds her old soul back in her body. She is Karasu's mate now. You no longer have an attachment with my sister. You should go now."

"Do you think that they are in danger?" Yukina asked as they feed the small children. Rinku was the only one of the children who knew what was going on. He could lose his second mother. The only thing that would be different this time is that he wouldn't be there to see it.
"I don't know, kid, I just don't know." Shizuru said as she picked up Milo. Milo cried when he felt the tension mount even more in the air. Keiko frowned at a happier memory.
^Flash back^
"Botan where were you really?" Keiko asked, "I know you weren't trying to get snacks. I can sense it. Where were you and please tell me the truth."
"Do you promise not to tell anyone?" at Keiko's nod she continued. "Well I met up with that caption guy, Zeru, and when he left I stayed in the room for a little bit longer. But when I left, the strangest thing happened."
"Botan! You didn't have sex with that Zeru guy did you? What happened?" Keiko asked knowing that she was getting somewhere.
"No, we didn't have sex, Keiko. Your starting to think like Yusuke. I saw one of the Tourgo team members, The one with the long black hair, and he just kind of stared at me. It was really odd."
"Oh botan! Something bad is going to happen! I just know it!" Keiko yelled and Botan gave her a reassuring smile and told her it would be all right.
^ End flash back^
'Oh, Botan, if only you had been right about that.' Keiko thought to her self as she helped Yukina and Shizuru put the children down for a nap. ()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()() ()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()(^Back with the guys^
"That's not possible!" Kurama yelled. He was only semi right, it wasn't supposed to be possible. Sensui smiled and grabbed Botan's arm while leading her to the couch.
"Brother, please watch my sister while I fight. We wouldn't want her to get hurt, now would we?" Sensui told Karasu. Karasu nodded his head and sat next to his new mate. Things were all coming together now. He didn't have to worry about the Tourgo brothers, he had his rightful mate, and his enemies were going to be killed by his mate's half-brother.
"Now that that's out of the way, we can now fight. Who wants to fight with me first? How about you detective? Want to test your luck?" Sensui said to the group. Yusuke accepted the challenge and started to fight with Shinobu Sensui. He threw the first blow but it missed and Sensui countered with a sidekick to Yusuke's abdomen.
Yusuke was thrown across the cavern and before he could get back to the fight, Hiei stepped in. he drew his sword and swiped at Sensui. Every swipe missed. Finally Hiei landed a swipe. Too bad it would be of no use for it had hit a particularly hard stone and snapped into five pieces. Sensui took the opportunity to punch Hiei in the gut sending him flying to the ceiling. He was knocked out instantly.
Kurama took the chance to go in to the fight and try his luck against the Dark Angel. He whipped out his rose whip and tried to strike Sensui with some poison thorns. That didn't work out too well. The whip backfired and hit him instead. He had to leave the fight to treat the poisoned wounds before he died. Genkai stepped in.
She may not have had her strength, but she could still try to free the girl who she counted as her own daughter. Keiko, Shizuru, Yukina, and Botan were her daughters in her own eyes and she would not allow some scum who was Botan's half brother full time basrted stop that.
"Now, now, old lady, I would want you to brake your hip trying to fight me." Sensui taunted Genkai laughing at the thought of her beating him. Genkai took this chance to try to hit him.
It worked.
She hit him right in the nose. As soon as she hit him he swiped out and hit her in the ribs. Everyone but Hiei heard the crack of broken ribs. Botan's eyes widened. She remembered all of her times with Genkai.
They didn't switch her souls because they didn't have the time. Sniper and Game master had failed and they lost the time that they needed with that. Instead they used a memory enchantment and Karasu told her everything that he wanted her to remember and told her that they were mated. They didn't even have the time to take off Zeru's mark on her.
She got up from the couch and tried to run over to Sensui. Sensui saw this and mistook that she was worried for him so he didn't try to stop her. She tackled him and began punching him in the face. Karasu ran over and pulled her off of him.
"ZERU! Help me! They didn't switch my souls help!" Botan managed to yell out to her mate. Zeru ran as fast as he could over to his lover. Karasu was not about to let him have her back and started to fight Zeru. Sensui grabbed Yusuke, who was running over to help his friends, and flung him into a wall.
That didn't stop Yusuke, he just ran back to him to stop him from getting Zeru. He punched and kicked at Sensui. He only landed one or two of those punches and kicks but that didn't stop him from trying.
Botan dug her nails into Karasu's face and pulled towards herself affectively ripping apart the left side of his face. Karasu smacked Botan across the face while trying to get rid of Zeru. It was a task but he accomplished something in one of the two. He smacked Botan and she went flying into the boat with Itsuki.
"Ms. Botan! Are you all right?" Itsuki asked shocked that she landed in his boat. She looked at him and attempted to smile. He had been nothing but kind to her even when she messed up.
"I'm fine, thank you. Is the water safe to swim to the other side?" Botan asked quickly wanting to get back to try to help fight. She had caused them all to worry over her and she needed to help.
"I am sorry Ms. Botan, but the water is unsafe now that the door is almost open. Even if it was, I would not allow you to go." Itsuki told her dejectedly. Botan looked up at him with tears in her eyes and told him,
"But I have to get to them! I just have to! I love Zeru; I love him so much it hurts! Please! Is there anyway for me to get to the main land? I have to help them! I owe it to them! Please!" she didn't give birth to two children and not learn any thing from them.
Itsuki looked at her grimacing. He couldn't give in to that look, if he did then it would make Mr. Sensui upset. "I'm sorry but Mr. Sensui would not like it if I did that. Please just sit tight and wait for the battle to end.
Botan compiled and looked back to where the fights were raging. Hiei was back up and helping Kurama help Master Genkai. Yusuke was still fighting with Sensui and this time getting some hits in while getting some of his own. Zeru was sending fire to destroy the bombs that Karasu had sent at him.
"Botan! Are you all right?" Hiei asked or rather yelled at her when he noticed her looking at the fights from the boat. Botan looked over to him and yelled back,
"I'm fine, Hiei. How is Master Genkai doing? And you Kurama?" Itsuki looked over to where botan was yelling and then looked back to Sensui and Yusuke's fight. None of the other fights were of any interest to him.
"We are all fine, Botan. Master Genkai will be all right. Don't worry about it." Kurama answered for Hiei. Botan nodded her head and turned back to Zeru and Karasu's fight. She had never had men fight over her. Especially good-looking ones.
Karasu punched at Zeru but Zeru grabbed his fist and bent his arm backwards dislocating it within moments. Karasu screamed out at the pain he felt. Zeru had a triumphant look on his face for a moment then when back to fighting Karasu.
Sensui kicked Yusuke and he went flying, again. Sensui smirked and turned back to Zeru and Karasu. He would break Zeru's neck even if it was the last thing he did. Yusuke jumped on Sensui's back and started to punch him and bite at him. It was a rather funny site to see a grown man getting bitten by a little punk kid.
"Zeru watch out!" Botan yelled when Zeru stopped to look at the once in a lifetime sight of Yusuke gnawing on an older man and Karasu took the opportunity to try to sneak up from behind.
Thanks to Botan's warning, Zeru dodged the fatal blow that Karasu was about to get him and gave him one instead. Karasu didn't see it coming.
"Itsuki! Don't let Botan off that boat!" Sensui yelled at Itsuki. Itsuki nodded his head and grabbed Botan's arm so she couldn't get away.
Botan screamed out to Zeru and told him that the water was crawling with demons from the doorway to hell that she was sitting under. Zeru stopped at the shore to try to think of a way to get to his beloved mate.
"Zeru! What are you waiting for? Go get Botan!" Hiei yelled as Kurama finished healing Genkai. Zeru turned to glare at Hiei and then yelled back to him,
"Because, the lake is filled with demons! Just go back to helping Yusuke, will ya?" Hiei glared at him and then went back to what he had been doing.
Zeru turned and started to walk back to the front of the cave but then stopped and started to run towards the edge of the lake. When he got there he jumped and landed in the boat.
"Zeru!" Botan yelled and tried to jump in his arms forgetting about the fact that Itsuki still had her arm. Itsuki was forced to let go when Zeru forcefully pulled Botan away from him.
With Botan now in his arms, he jumped back to the main land and ran over to where Mitarai, Genkai, Hiei, and everyone else where. When Zeru stopped he still didn't let Botan down he just pulled her petite frame closer to his bulky frame. Botan didn't protest but Sensui seemed to.
Sensui punched even aggressively at Yusuke trying to get Yusuke away so he could tear Zeru limb from limb. Too bad for him that Yusuke was dead set on keeping him from his friends. Yusuke punched Sensui in the face and he hit back by kicking him in the gut. Yusuke went flying back but stopped himself and ran back full force at him.
They met head on. They were just flashes, even to the fighters. When Sensui finally went down Yusuke himself was almost down himself. Kuwabara and Mitarai ran over to help him. They left the cave as quickly as they could for fear that it would collapse in on them.

When they got home Rinku, Vala, and Milo swamped Zeru and Botan. None of them had wanted to let her go in fear that she would go away again. When Zeru finally convinced them that she wasn't going anywhere they had agreed to finally go to bed.
"Botan, it has been a long time hasn't it?" Zeru said as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her neck. She responded to him and tried to turn around but he wouldn't let her.
"Yes, it has been," She responded verbally. "The kids are in bed, Yukina and Touya are busy them selves, and so what should we do?"
"You know exactly want we both want to do." Zeru replied as he started to nip at her neck.

"Hello, everyone." Botan greeted as she and Zeru walked in the room. Zeru had just gotten out of the shower and Botan had been in the bathroom...'putting on her make-up'. Everyone turned and greeted her in there own ways. To day was going to be a good day for everyone now that Botan was back safe and happy with them. They were back to being their own oddly formed family. In there family they had everything from thieves to schoolgirls.
The incident was still flesh on everyone's minds but a new thing was also about to be on their minds.
"Look all I'm saying is that it wouldn't have happened in they had even tried." Jin and Chu were fighting over some nigen game again and then to everyone's surprise Tybalt said his first words and they were,
"Punxsutawney!" everyone turned and looked at him when he said that but he just smiled and went back to being the cute little baby that he is.
"That was really, really strange." Rinku said as he looked at the younger boy before him.
"What would you expect from this family of ours? Zeru I can see you and it's not time to eat yet." Botan said from her place back at the stove.
"Botan, who knows what to except from this family. By the way, you never saw that." Zeru replied as he leaded back in his chair and gazed at the friends and family he had acquired in a little over two years.

The madness finally ends. Hopefully this will get at least another review, then I could have at least gotten one of my goals accomplished. I'm not sure if I'll do a sequel or not. If I do, it will most likely be called something similar to 'By the way, you never saw that' but I don't no. I might go back and redo some of the first few chapters cause I hate them but who knows? I sure as hell don't.
Dark Angel-Justice, if there is a sequel, it would be a honor to work with you again.

With Botan now in his arms, he jumped back to the main land and ran over to where Mitarai, Genkai, Hiei, and everyone else where. When Zeru stopped he still didn't let Botan down he just pulled her petite frame closer to his bulky frame. Botan didn't protest but Sensui seemed to.
Sensui punched even aggressively at Yusuke trying to get Yusuke away so he could tear Zeru limb from limb. Too bad for him that Yusuke was dead set on keeping him from his friends. Yusuke punched Sensui in the face and he hit back by kicking him in the gut. Yusuke went flying back but stopped himself and ran back full force at him.
They met head on. They were just flashes, even to the fighters. When Sensui finally went down Yusuke himself was almost down himself. Kuwabara and Mitarai ran over to help him. They left the cave as quickly as they could for fear that it would collapse in on them.

When they got home Rinku, Vala, and Milo swamped Zeru and Botan. None of them had wanted to let her go in fear that she would go away again. When Zeru finally convinced them that she wasn't going anywhere they had agreed to finally go to bed.
"Botan, it has been a long time hasn't it?" Zeru said as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her neck. She responded to him and tried to turn around but he wouldn't let her.
"Yes, it has been," She responded verbally. "The kids are in bed, Yukina and Touya are busy them selves, and so what should we do?"
"You know exactly want we both want to do." Zeru replied as he started to nip at her neck.

"Hello, everyone." Botan greeted as she and Zeru walked in the room. Zeru had just gotten out of the shower and Botan had been in the bathroom...'putting on her make-up'. Everyone turned and greeted her in there own ways. To day was going to be a good day for everyone now that Botan was back safe and happy with them. They were back to being their own oddly formed family. In there family they had everything from thieves to schoolgirls.
The incident was still flesh on everyone's minds but a new thing was also about to be on their minds.
"Look all I'm saying is that it wouldn't have happened in they had even tried." Jin and Chu were fighting over some nigen game again and then to everyone's surprise Tybalt said his first words and they were,
"Punxsutawney!" everyone turned and looked at him when he said that but he just smiled and went back to being the cute little baby that he is.
"That was really, really strange." Rinku said as he looked at the younger boy before him.
"What would you expect from this family of ours? Zeru I can see you and it's not time to eat yet." Botan said from her place back at the stove.
"Botan, who knows what to except from this family. By the way, you never saw that." Zeru replied as he leaded back in his chair and gazed at the friends and family he had acquired in a little over two years.

The madness finally ends. Hopefully this will get at least another review, then I could have at least gotten one of my goals accomplished. I'm not sure if I'll do a sequel or not. If I do, it will most likely be called something similar to 'By the way, you never saw that' but I don't no. I might go back and redo some of the first few chapters cause I hate them but who knows? I sure as hell don't.
Dark Angel-Justice, if there is a sequel, it would be a honor to work with you again.
For the last time (with this story)
