"Good! You're awake."
"What happened?"
"They are replacing the battlefield. You have not missed anything." Kurama said, closing the book he was reading.
"Where's Botan?" Hiei said, standing up from his bed.
"She went to talk to Toguro." Hiei jump out of bed, advancing to Kurama.
"What?" Hiei said, his eyes flashing. Kurama nodded.
"Toguro wanted to talk to her 6 hours ago. She hasn't come back since." Hiei gathered his sword and cloak and headed to the window.
"Now fans and fighters! The Finals will continue in just a few minutes so please return to the stadium." Juri's booming voice spoke, stopping Hiei. Kurama stood up.
"Go ahead and find her. I'll be heading for the stadium." Hiei nodded and he started again to the window. Kurama watched as he placed his feet on the rim of the window and disappear.
Hiei firmly planted his legs on the weak tree branch and hastily untied his white band. Slowly, his Jagan eye opened. Hiei closed his eyes and concentrated on Botan. Hiei shot open his eyes and jumped branch to branch. Finally, he stopped and landed next to the spring. Botan's red ki was safely on the side. Hiei waded into the pool and saw Botan, She was flushed and sleeping. Hiei's eyes cast to her body but stopped suddenly. Botan opened her eyes and smiled weakly.
"The spell. It's gone." She whispered and closed her eyes again. "It's a real energy drainer."
"Yeah." Hiei quickly took off his cloak and wrapped it around Botan. Hiei gathered her clothes and lifted her up. 30 minutes later, Hiei was carefully placing her on the bed. Hiei smirked and press his forehead on her hand. "After this, we can be together." Hiei quickly made his way to the window and disappeared.
"And Kuwabara is the winner!!!" Cheers and boo's came from the crowd, making Botan sit up. "Now who will go next? 5 Fighters please make your way to the battlefield!"
Botan hastily slipped on her red ki and summoned her oar. "5 Fighters please make your way to the battlefield or you will lose the match!"
"WHERE IS BOTAN!???!" Yusuke yelled. Juri sniffed rudely.
"And the win goes to-"
"Me." Heads turned as Botan made her way to the battlefield.
"Hey it's that girl!"
"What is she doing?!" Whispers rose again from the crowd. Botan stopped 5 feet away from the edge of the field and smirked.
"Alright!" She punched a fist in the air. Juri smiled.
"Great to see a female for once in this on-going battle! Now, 5th fighter on Toguro Team!"
Botan watched as small footsteps could be heard from the dark hall. A young girl stepped out, dark and serious. She had black hair and was wearing nothing but a one piece swimsuit. She stepped up to the battlefield and stared at Botan. She spoke slowly. "I see." Botan blinked and looked around.
"See what? Where?" Botan asked. Juri interrupted.
"Now, Botan vs. umm.....What's her name?" She asked. The girl stared turned to Juri. "Ichigawa. My name is Trinity Ichigawa."
UP ON KOENMA'S VIEWING SPOT....
"WHAT??!?" The toddler screamed and banged his fist. "THAT CAN'T BE!!!!!" Gorge looked at him confused.
"Why not sir?" Koenma looked at the blue ogre with distaste.
"Because, ogre, Botan is Trinity."
BACK OT BOTAN AND "Trinity Ichigawa"....
"Okay, Trinity Ichigawa versus Botan! Begin!" Botan smiled. Trinity gritted her teeth. Kuwabara looked at Trinity.
"Why is she so mad?" He asked. Hiei rolled his eyes.
"Because she can't read Botan." Botan quickly dodged a punch from Trinity, hand behind her back. Botan landed and smiled, just to be slapped by Trinity. Botan winced and flushed with anger. Trinity smiled coldly.
"Finally...I can read her." She said quietly. "But what is this? Spirit energy ris- GAH!" Botan punched Trinity in the face, making her scar. Trinity grabbed Botan's arm and pulled her in, slamming her knee into Botan's stomach. Botan mouth opened, small spit flying. Trinity quickly elbowed Botan's neck and let go.
'She powerful.....even too powerful...' Botan though as she hit the floor. She stood up quickly and lunged at Trinity as she landed. She quickly punched her in the ribs and pulled her hair, making her kneel. Botan brought her knee down on Trinity's back and kicked her in the stomach. Trinity FLEW in the air and landed with a sickening thump. Hiei grinned. Alright!
Trinity stood up and rubbed her side. She hissed. "Wrenched girl."
Every time I think of you.... I get a shot right through into a bolt of blue.... It's no problem of mine, but it's a problem I find.... Living a life that I can't leave behind....
Trinity closed her eyes and slowly, a black aura surrounded her. She placed her hands together and spreaded her hands apart. Botan, who was kneeling on one knee, suddenly was surrounded by the same aura. Botan eyes grew wide.
"The jenkin spirit." Botan said through clenched teeth. Trinity laughed and nodded. She pointed her hands to Botans paralyzed body.
"The jenkin spirit?!" Hiei gasped. Everyone turned to him. 'Botan..'
There's no sense in telling me The wisdom of a fool won't set you free But that's the way that it goes and it's what nobody knows And every day my confusion grows..
"Jenkin!" Trinity said. Botan oddly stood up straight.
"The jenkin spirit first paralyzes the body and then aims powerful spirit energy to the opponent, killing it." Hiei said quickly. Trinity grinned.
"Spirit!" Trinity's aura left her body and straight for Botan. Botan gasped and shut her eyes.
Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for that final moment You say the words that I can't say.
"Botan!" Hiei yelled as a loud explosion could be heard. Smoke blew everywhere, make it impossible to see. Hiei coughed slightly and watched as the area around him came to view again. Trinity came to view and slowly he could see the other half of the field. Trinity and the rest of the stadium gasped in shock. Botan was kneeling down, breathing. She stood up and grinned.
"But how?!" Trinity asked. Botan held up one finger.
"Simple. The jenkin spirit is a rare attack that only one person knew. Genkai-sama. She taught it to me so I knew that I could counter attack." Botan explained. "It's not hard to counter if you know how. Now, My turn! Spirit Gun!" Botan quickly shot out a large black spirit energy. Trinity grinned. Her body slowly absorbed the energy and aimed it straight for Botan.
I feel fine and I feel good I feel like I never should Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday..
Botan quickly jumped out of the way as Trinity ran after her with enormous spirit energy in her hand. Botan fell as Trinity scored a hit on her back. Botan made a spirit sword in her hand, just for it to be knocked out of reach as Trinity crushed her hand. Botan yelped in pain.
I'm not sure what this could mean I don't think you're what you seem I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be..
Botan quickly made a dagger and stabbed in into Trinity's foot. Trinity fell back. Botan quickly placed a foot on Trinity's chest and made a fake gun with her hand. "What are you?" Botan yelled. Trinity smirked.
"Trinity." She replied, just to be slapped.
"Who are you?" Botan repeated. Trinity figure became a gushed piled of liquid and slowly reformed into a young man with purple hair and the most hideous teeth and face.
"I am Indako, master shape shifter." He hissed and shaped into Botan, kicking her in the leg. Botan fell over. Indako quickly held a hand up and black orbs appeared. Indako threw them and they blasted on Botans skin.
Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for that final moment You say the words that I can't say.
"He can use her attacks too?!" Yusuke gasped. Hiei clutched his sword tightly. Kurama placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Easy."
Botan peered into her skin and found blood pouring slowly. Botan turned to Indako who was bleeding in the same place. Botan stared.
"As you can see, I bleed where you bleed." Indako said sourly. Botan watched as he turned into Kuwabara.
"Botan! I can't fight you!" He said in Kuwabara's voice. Kuwabara pointed to him furious.
"That's MY voice!" Kuwabara yelled. Botan looked at Indako. All she could see was Kuwabara, not the stadium, not her team, nothing but Kuwabara. Kuwabara spoke up again.
"You're a girl!" Indako exclaimed. "You're a girl! I can't fight you!"
Botan blinked. "Why not, Kuwabara? Oh hi Yusuke."
Yusuke grinned. "Come on!"
"I'm not gonna fight you Yusuke. I need to fight Indako!" Yusuke threw a punch and Botan dodged.
"Yusuke!" Indako grinned and threw some more punches. Yusuke growled furiously.
"Stupid shape thing! I don't look like that!"
Botan ran quickly and stopped. Kurama stood next to her. He smiled and spoke up. "Hello Botan. Let's spar." Indako pulled out a rose. Botan shook her head.
"Not now." Botan started to walk of. Indako grabbed her hand. Botan forcefully pulled. "Let go! You're hurting me." Botan kneeled in pain. Indako smirked and let go. Botan rubbed her hand and looked up to see Hiei.
"Hiei!" Indako smiled and pulled in for a kiss. Botan pulled back. "What are you doing?"
"Hiei control yourself!" Kurama yelled as Kuwabara, Yusuke, and himself pulled Hiei back from killing Indako. Botan scrambled back like mad. Indako pulled back and frowned.
"Do you not love me?" He asked. Botan shook her head.
"I do love you."
"Then kiss me!"
"No! Get away!" Botan slapped Indako. He pulled back, fuming.
"You'll pay for that one!" He held up his hand and his black spirit energy surrounded him. He grabbed Botan by her red ki and held his hand next to her face. His black spirit energy transformed into a dragon. Botan eyes grew wide and she struggled to get free.
"Dragons of the Darkness flames!"
"What happened?"
"They are replacing the battlefield. You have not missed anything." Kurama said, closing the book he was reading.
"Where's Botan?" Hiei said, standing up from his bed.
"She went to talk to Toguro." Hiei jump out of bed, advancing to Kurama.
