The chapter is late but I got swamped with homework and play practice.
I do not own Yu you hakusho.
========================== =========================== =======
Botan woke up the next morning with her energy and hunger refreshed. She
just missed seeing Hiei leave the house as she got off the couch and went
to get something to eat. The house was empty so she could only assume that
Yusuke had left for school or something.
"Well at least he left some food out this morning" the ferry girl said to herself. After Botan had satisfied her hunger, her grief for Lily came back full force.
"Sorry sis," she whispered and then stepped outside.
The blue haired girl walked around the streets without a destination in mind as she and her parents had done so many times before Lily had been born. Tears fell from her eyes as Botan or Jenna, she wasn't sure which, began to remember that fateful day. ================== ==================== ================== ======
It was October and the small town where Jenna lived was in a frenzy to prepare for winter. All the children were happily gathering what food they could and for once Jenna had no superstitious eyes upon her and the farmwives were actually happy to have her sharp eyes to help find the last crops.
Her spirits were high when Jenna walked in the door of her family's small hut but her spirits were dashed before the hour ended.
Lily had already been born but it had taken quite a toll on the health of their mother. The woman pulled through but she always tired easily and could never have another child. Lily only saw the strict housewife and cruel monster her parents had become, not the happy loving couple Jenna had always known. "I am not Jenna anymore And Lily didn't have much of a chance of happiness at life anyway" Botan thought to herself. But she had known that much since the start, what bothered her was how easily she had gotten off and how little Lily was when she was captured. += +++++++++++++++++++++++ ======================= =======
Botan was walking without a destination but she wasn't all that surprised when she entered Hiei's park. "Lily again?" she nodded, and Hiei continued, "She got to heaven all right. " "How do you know?"
"Kurama said he ran into a little girl who fit her description, and she was still holding the scraps from her skirts."
Botan took comfort in Hiei's words; she knew that everyone in heaven would get another chance at life, just not for a long time. Even so, "I killed my little sister." Hiei left his branch and landed besides her. She didn't have any way to live, I mean Lily had been drained for so long that she couldn't fend for herself for even an hour and she didn't have a living family either."
Last time Botan had heard someone say those words they did nothing to stop her guilt, this time however, she resolved to take her sister to meet their parents, That way Lily would know a loving family, but for now Botan was just relieved to have a way to help her sister. She was also enjoying Hiei's company.
And he was enjoying hers. The couple moved to of the woods area and down to the stream. They discussed their homelands for awhile then just sat in a companionable silence. Hiei thought what Botan said, "It feels nice to be here and not hiding under masks."
They each wore a genuine smile. +=================================== ===================== ===== This is the last prose chapter, I'll put a poem here if I can. I want people to vote on whether to do a sequel to this mainly involving Hiei. A Yusuke Fic Non romantic Botan (originally intended on this one but making it an Hb got a lot more reviews) Or an Animorphs crossover.
