Silverchild of the winds: I don't own Yyh I only own Lily, who annoys the heck out of me By talking to much, but when someone's brought to a time era where s/he get liberties unavailable in the past, S/he abuses that right.

------------------------------------------- --------------------------- ---- -------------------- --- I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise," The bluette said again, silent tears streaming down her face. "What promise" Hiei asked her.

"I told Lily I'd always protect her," Botan showed him the crushed amulet. "Now I destroyed her."

"You had to"

This time she got angry. "I know that, I know there would be no hope for her, but you out of all people should know how hard it is to kill your little sister"

A new voice was heard, "So the little wench is a murderer, yes?" Another Yokai stepped out from the shadows. Botan was silent, she was wondering if she was such herself. All the curses from grieving families were coming back to her.

"Who in the worlds are you" Hiei demanded

The Newcomer spoke again "That does not matter, Why do you devote yourself to a group of people who don't care what's happening to you, Why I bet that your so-called friends are actually happy that you left."

The flame Koorime's resolve weakened, He gave Botan a glance as if asking if these words were true.

The attacker did not fail to notice it. No use loving a chit like her, she'll abandon you as soon as she finds someone else.

Botan saw that Hiei was losing his cool and starting to doubt himself.

She tried to move over to him, but found that she was bound by some sort of invisible cord. The girl struggled to break free and succeeded just when the new demon was preparing to attack Hiei and her. Botan knew she had to attack, but she had used up all her strength breaking out of her bindings. ========== ================================ ==================== I can't believe they would just disappear like that, Yusuke muttered for the 34th time since Kuwabara had noticed Hiei and Botan missing. The taller punk had given up searching and demanded to know why Kurama hadn't noticed them gone before. "How am I supposed to know, Hiei always wanders off" The fox snapped in a very not Kurama style. "What of Botan," this was Yusuke. "I know she had to ferry the poor girls our foe attacked, but I'd think she should be back in the next hour or so".

After a few minutes of turning their worries into arguments the Human parts (or half human on Kurama's part) of the Rekai Tantai dropped the fights and started to search for 2 friends. Friends I might add that are not having a pleasant time at all. =========== ========== ======== ======= ===== = = = = == = = = == Silverchild of the winds: Did you like it. Lily: No Me: Of course you didn't I killed you, so why are you still here. Lily: People say that being killed is being sent back to your maker, and you made me so here I am. Me: Okay, note to self, "Next time do not kill off chatty five year old oc.

Lily: Hey why are so unfair to me, you're mean you don't let me read your books use your computer or sewing machine, You keep monsters in your house.............. goes on with long list of complaints, runs out and start talking about anything she sees. Me: that's why.
