Chapter Two: I Miss You

Botan looked around her surroundings and gave a very displeased smile. 'I couldn't be lost again, could I? I am pretty sure that I followed the map correctly.' She thought as she looked at the map once more.
Koenma gave Botan a week's mission over at Maikai, and up until now, she's still not done.
"I can't go back empty-handed." Botan argued with herself as she looked over her surroundings and back again.
Koenma gave her a very...impossible mission to even begin with.
"How will I find the body of...Atsuko...? I don't even know who she is!!!!" Botan wailed as she tossed the map into the air and let herself fall beneath the grass.
Botan looked up at the gray sky and her eyes twinkled with wonder.
"How come this place seems so familiar?" she asked as she closed her eyes.
Later, she fell asleep.

Yusuke eyed the TV carefully as he tried to refocus on what Koenma said over the VHS.
"You'll be the Deity of Death, Botan." Koenma said over the TV.
Everyone looked at Koenma and this time, there's no stopping them from asking questions.
"Botan...is Yusuke's sister?" Kurama asked.
Koenma nodded.
"...I could explain everything. Just give me time and I will tell you the whole story..." Koenma replied.
Yusuke let go of Koenma's collar and sat down on the floor with his arms crossed.
"Start." He said.
Koenma took a deep breath and started his story.

'Sora...'
"Who are you?"
'Don't you know who I am, Sora?'
"Who are you? I'm not even Sora." 'Look inside of you, and you'll know what I'm talking about...'
Botan felt herself falling endlessly in a black space.
But slowly, the picture became different.
In her front stood someone clothed in a white long gown and had a pair of white beautiful wings. Her white hair fell endlessly behind her back and the lady was carrying something like a silver scythe.
"...Who are you?" Botan asked.
The lady turned around and faced her.
Botan stared at her, shocked and surprised.
"...W-who are you?" Botan asked once more.
The lady drew her hand up and touched Botan's cheeks.
"I...am you..."

"We all know that Raizen was someone who was feared and is very powerful. So when my father knew that someone was wearing his heir, he took action and planned to kill it once."
"In fear of what?" Kurama asked.
"...In fear of being over-throned by his clan." Koenma replied.
"All of you know that my father may have the greatest power. But truthfully, he is...nothing." Koenma added.
"So...he planned to kill Raizen's son... Yusuke."
"But?" Kuwabara asked.
"...After my father killed Atsuko and brought Yusuke back to the palace, we received death threats from Raizen and his group. They made us a deal that we should send Yusuke to the Human World so that, at least, his powers will not unveil at the Maikai world."
"So Enma agreed?" Hiei asked.
Koenma nodded.
"But after some time, we then came to knew that Raizen had another child. A daughter."
"But Sora would never do anything to anyone! She's harmless!!!!" Yusuke yelled.
"I know... we know... but just like any demon, she can get out of control especially if provoked. My father feared that her powers might be even greater than yours, Yusuke. And we came to knew that it was evidently true."
Koenma took a deep breath and continued.
"Sora has the powers of life... so in other words, she can control both living and dying. We feared that if her powers came pass to a demon, she might be unstoppable. We resolved into killing her... but it didn't work. When she found out about you, Yusuke, still alive, her soul wouldn't rest in peace. So what we did was give her a new body, a new life and new memories...as Botan, the deity of Death."
Yusuke closed his eyes.
"If you knew this will all happen, why did you even make Botan my assistant as a Spirit Detective?" Yusuke asked.
"As we said before. We need people...and demons like you to help us promote peace through out-"
"Now that I realize something, I don't think it's about peace you and your father is talking about." Yusuke cut Koenma off.
"I think it's about power." He added.
Kurama nodded.
Hiei even agreed.
Koenma sighed.
"Maybe...maybe not. Who really knows anyway?" Koenma replied.
"...."
"Where's Botan?" Yusuke asked.
"Does she know about this?" Kurama asked.
Koenma didn't reply.
"Where's she, Koenma?" Yusuke asked again, but with an impatient tone of voice.
"...My father knew that you were getting these dreams about your family... so he sent Botan to the Maikai..."
"...And get herself killed." Hiei finished.
Koenma closed his eyes and didn't reply back.
"Where's the nearest portal, Kurama?" Yusuke asked as he stood up and ran out f the door.
Kurama followed, "This way."
Hiei looked at Koenma from the back, "I never really liked you." He said.
"...Neither did I" Koenma replied.
Hiei took one last look and motioned to leave.
00000000000000
Botan stared at what she knew was her.
"You're...me?" she asked, confused.
"I am you as you are me." Sora replied.
"Don't be afraid, Botan... you shouldn't be afraid of me. I am your past... I am part of you... we are part of Yusuke..." Sora added.
"Yusuke? I don't understand..." Botan replied.
Sora held her hand out towards Botan.
"If we combine, you'll know..." Sora said as she offered her hand.
Botan looked at Sora's hand and back at her.
Slowly, Botan smiled.
'If this is really me, then I know I can trust her...' Botan thought as she held Sora's hand.
A white light shone it's brightest that blinded the darkness.
Atsuko stood from afar with a smile.
Slowly, behind her, Raizen held her shoulder.
"She's finally back..." Atsuko said.
"And will make us proud..." Raizen added as slowly both of them disappeared.
00000000000000
Kurama transformed into Youko and was speeding his best.
Botan was also his friend but something was driving him nuts to look for her more.
'That girl in the video... she looked awfully familiar...' Youko thought as he sniffed Botan's scent.
Youko knew he has to find Botan even before something bad might happen to her but something inside of him was telling a different thing.
Suddenly, Youko stopped as he felt a familiar presence.
Youko stopped in thought as he tried to remember whose presence this is.
Slowly, a smile crept to his face...
Is this what he think it is?
Is this...?
"Sora..."
00000000000000
Yusuke jumped from tree to tree in desperate search for Botan or for Sora... or who ever...
"Once I found you, I'll never let you go..." Yusuke whispered as he looked around.
Suddenly, a bell sounded that seemed so familiar to him.
"Mother?" he asked.
Memories rushed to his head.
He saw himself together with Sora playing around the forest.
He was punching one bark to another while Sora was making flowers blossom and leaves grow.
They suddenly heard a soft chime of a bell and immediately, he and Sora looked at one another and smiled.
They raced out of the forest and found themselves out in the meadow where their mother was standing, waiting for them.
"Mother is calling me..." Yusuke said as he followed the sound.
00000000000000
Youko followed the familiar presence until he stopped at a vast meadow.
There, he saw someone standing, looking over the cliff.
He slowly walked up to her wanting to find out if his hunch was right.
"...Sora, is that you?" he asked when he was inches away from her.
The lady turned around and a pair of amethyst eyes met his golden ones.
"Hello, Youko... it's nice to see you again..." Sora replied.
"IS that really you, Sora?" Youko asked, not believing what he was seeing.
".... Yes, it is I. Although-"
"BOTAN!!!!!!"
Sora's attention was drawn to the voice.
When she saw who was coming, running towards her, she couldn't help the tears that were forming around her eyes.
"Big Brother..." she whispered.
Sora looked at Youko and Youko nodded back.
Yusuke came to her with a huge hug. "I've missed you billions, sis!!!!"
"Me too, big brother. You don't know how much I've been thinking about you..." Sora replied.
"Oh Sora! I mean, Botan... or... um," Yusuke said as a little blush came to him.
He knew that this girl standing in front of him was his sister. But truth was, he doesn't even know what to call her.
"Botan would be fine." Sora replied.
"Sora is the past. Botan is the present." Sora replied.
Yusuke nodded as he hugged his sister once more.
"I'm happy that you found each other."
They all turned to see Hiei together with Koenma.
At the sight of him, Botan backed off.
"I presumed that all of Botan's memories are now erased?" Koenma asked.
Sora nodded.
"Botan gave me permission to do it. She said that she would want her old memories back rather than the new ones you just created for her." Sora replied.
"Then why keep the name?" Koenma asked.
"Because I said so. I don't want Botan to be completely washed away as if she was nothing. I am Botan as well as she is Sora." Sora replied.
Koenma nodded.
"And Botan wanted to say thank you... but she cannot accept anything from you..." Sora added.
Koenma's eyes widened but softened after a while.
"I understand." He replied and slowly moved away.
"From now on, you'll be known as Botan Urameshi. Yusuke's younger sister...and one of the new Spirit Detectives." And with that, Koenma disappeared.
"Welcome to the club, sis." Yusuke said with a huge grin.
"Welcome back, So- I mean, Botan." Youko added.
Botan smiled and nodded.
"I'm glad to be back..."
