Botan landed right in front of the team. She turned around quickly. Koenma snapped at her. "Botan, it's too risky letting you fight, Let Yusuke take over!"
Botan ignored his word. "Koenma, open." Koenma obeyed as the kekkai disappeared. Botan tried her hair up and looked at everyone. "Koenma, you'll need to find another Ferry girl." Botan paused, as if waiting for Koenma to disapprove. He didn't say anything so Botan continued. "Yusuke, you have my back when I fall."
Yusuke looked grave. He stood next to Botan and took off his own bands on his arms and legs. Yellow Spiritual Locks appeared. Yusuke muttered something and the yellow locks disappeared. Botan said nothing to him. "Koenma, he's back."
Koenma started making the kekkai again before Hiei would move. Yusuke and Botan both stood in the center of the field. Tuguro was making his way there. Tuguro smirked and started again, this time, with kicks and punches. Yusuke and Botan expertly dodged and landed, on different sides of Tuguro. Botan launched and almost had Tuguro, until his grabbed her face with his hand. He threw her to the wall and charged after her. Botan body slammed into the wall and before she could make a recover, Tuguro was on her, punching her deeper into the wall. By now, Hiei was already on Koenma, holding him by his shirt.
"Let me out." He growled. Koenma faced him bravely.
"No." Said Koenma firmly. "Botan will just have another concern. She needs to have all her attention on Tuguro and can't be distracted."
Hiei scowled. Kurama, having to se enough of Hiei, took Koenma out of Hiei's grasp and placed him on his own two feet. "Hiei that's enough."
"No its not!" Hiei said madder then usual. "Botan's out there and I can't do anything for her!"
"Because she wants you to do nothing." Yusuke's voice said. He had managed to free Botan from her hole in the wall and was now standing next to them. "She wants you to see what she can do with the help you gave her. Just look at her."
Botan was now dodging Tuguro's massive fist. She landed right on his arm and was already blasting him with a spirit ball. Tuguro landed on his back and Botan started on a massive spirit gun, as if she was going to finish him. She was half done until Tuguro grabbed her by her legs and swung her off of him. Yusuke ran over to them, stalling time for Botan to recover and take over again.
"Let me out!" Hiei repeated, ignoring Yusuke's words. Koenma opened his mouth in protest, but Kurama shook his head. Koenma opened the kekkai partly so Hiei could move out. Hiei exited happily.Botan was having the upper hand in the fight Hiei ran quickly, reappearing quickly next to Yusuke.
"Hiei!" Yusuke said in surprise. Botan head turned to him.
"Hiei?!!" Botan said. Tuguro took this time to punch Botan in the stomach. He took her head and pounded it into the floor. He quickly gave her some kind of spirit ki, making her scream. Hiei and Yusuke headed for her. Tuguro fought both of them at the same time, barely keeping up. Botan raised her head, she could taste blood. She didn't waste time checking herself. Botan disappeared and reappeared right on Tuguro's shoulder. He must have known she was there; he took her by the legs and swung her into Yusuke and Hiei, knocking them all. Botan was the first to recover. She quickly started with some leg attacks, and then she blasted a large Spirit Gun, piling Tuguro into his own dirt. Hiei, finally getting himself up, watched as Tuguro head popped out of the floor, His own face was bloody. Botan didn't wait, she was already pounding Tuguro. Tuguro took her by her face again, and swung her high. She fell, face first into chairs for the crowd, of course, since there was no crowd, she had no safe landing. Tuguro took the time to reenergize, Hiei ran to him, ignoring Yusuke's yells, and started out with his sword. Tuguro had no problems stopping it.
Hiei hand turned black again and he started up his Dragon of the Darkness Flames. "Dragon of the Darkness Flames!" Hiei yelled, the black dragon raced out of his hands and aimed for Tuguro's body. Tuguro stopped it, sort of eating it. Hiei backed up. Tuguro was smirking. Tuguro raised his hand and his own black spirit energy came out, bigger then what Botan usually makes. He aimed it straight for Hiei, just as Botan made her recovery.
"HIEI!!" Botan screamed as the black ki swallowed him. She hurried down to the arena as the blackness disappeared and Hiei's body was visible again. The rest of the team was not running towards Hiei, but to Tuguro. Botan was now sobbing as she reached Hiei's battered body. "Hiei..." She said softly, choking at those very words. "Hiei please..."
Hiei's eyes opened barely. He gave a weak smiled to Botan. He spoke slowly and rattled. "Botan, I understand now..." He coughed up some blood. Botan took his hand in her own.
"Your fine by yourself...you did not need me to fight..." He said. Botan shook her head furiously, as if it would take her pain away. Her pain and Hiei's.
"No Hiei that will never be true." Botan cried out. "I need you...so never go..." Hiei gave her his smirk.
"I won't die yet...I got you to thank for that..." Hiei mumbled, and he closed his eyes. Botan cries echoed from the walls. She was in a deep pain.
The pain to love.
Botan stood up, dried face and grave. She walked slowly to where her teammates where. She turned to Kurama and Koenma. "Sir, Please take Hiei to the best healers we have in all spirit world." Koenma and Kurama nodded, Kuwabara stepped forward, he gave Botan a quick hug then departed with the rest of them. Yusuke was taking care of Tuguro. He punched him into a wall and landed somewhere near her. He took a look at her.
"You ready." Yusuke said. Botan nodded. They both got into position. Tuguro was smiling.
"Seems that I will see Trinity's true colors now." He said.
"You hurt him." Botan said calmly. "You will die."
"If I die, I die." Tuguro replied back. Botan and Yusuke started at the same time, Punching and kicking and using their spirit. Tuguro didn't stand a chance in Botan's view. Botan and Yusuke gave him a hearty kick, sending him backwards. Tuguro quickly got back up, bruised and looking battered. Yusuke stopped fighting. Botan turned to him.
"Yusuke." Botan said. Yusuke smiled.
"He's your for the taking. Just don't kill yourself." Yusuke said, punching her lightly on arm and moved out of the way for Botan. For the real final battle.
Botan got into position. Tuguro seemed to have been charging up. He was now holding a black ball of energy. "Shall we make this one shot, if possible?" Tuguro asked.
Botan put her hands together, making a gun. "We shall see, won't we?" She replied coldly. Her pink energy popped up, growing bigger and bigger as if life itself was feeding it. She waited. The noise of a block of rock falling sounded in her ear.
"SPIRIT GUN!!" She roared with all the energy she could muster. She could feel the weight of Tuguro's spirit advancing on her Spirit gun. She could feel it. Something brushed past her and the weight was lifting away, she smiled through it all. They where winning.
All the pain and work...she could feel the lift in her heart...she was winning....but not by herself....They where here with her....Yusuke...Koenma...Kurama...even Kuwabara....and Hiei was too.....
Her knees went dead and she hit the ground with a thud, but she kept giving her, their, spirit gun all her power. Her eyes where watering, she fought her urge to stop. She was never going to stop. Quite a few hands rested on her shoulders.
"It's over. We win." Yusuke's voice said. She closed her eyes, still smiling. She could feel Kurama help her to her feet. She opened her eyes again. There was nothing left of the stadium. Juri was taken away from harm and was still unconscious. There was a big line from where she stood too who knows where.
"Amazing isn't it?" Kurama asked softly. Botan turned to her side. Kurama and Koenma where smiling back at her from one side and Yusuke and Kuwabara where grinning on the other. Botan nodded.
"It is." Botan said quietly. "Shall we see what's left of him?" Koenma waved his hand and her oar appears. Botan sat on it with Yusuke while the others walked. It was a few minutes until the line came to an end. Botan stared at what was left of the battered and finally beaten Tuguro. He was looking straight at Botan.
"I die, I die." Were the only words he said before he closed his eyes, forever. Botan nodded to his lifeless body. She closed her eyes as well; she could not take the pressure anymore. She slid off the oar and slipped into deep sleep.
Kurama caught the now sleeping Botan before she hit the ground. There was a loud noise of crying and running at the same time. Everyone looked up to see Keiko, Yukina, and Shizuru running towards them with Puu. Keiko, the person who was crying, jumped on Yusuke knocking them both down. Shizuru and Yukina both aimed for Kuwabara. Yusuke, grinning stupidly, held out his hand for Puu but Puu went over to Kurama and Botan. Puu sat down on Kurama's shoulder.
"She did better then my mind thought." Puu spoke in a familiar voice. Everyone looked in shock to see the blue bird that only uses to say 'Puu!' speak something else. Koenma nodded.
"I must agree, Genkai." Koenma said. Yusuke head turned sharply to Koenma.
"Genkai?" Yusuke asked. Puu turned to Yusuke.
"That's right dimwit." Puu or Genkai said, making some weird face. She soften up a little. "But then again, you all did better."
Yusuke grinned.
Living again, wasn't so bad after all.
Botan ignored his word. "Koenma, open." Koenma obeyed as the kekkai disappeared. Botan tried her hair up and looked at everyone. "Koenma, you'll need to find another Ferry girl." Botan paused, as if waiting for Koenma to disapprove. He didn't say anything so Botan continued. "Yusuke, you have my back when I fall."
