And the votes are in.....and the winner is......LEMON!!!!!! ::Balloons and sparkles fall from the sky and sirens can be heard from every direction:: YAY!!!! I'M GOING TO WRITE A LEMON!!!!! But for those of you who don't want lemon, I'll make sure not to put ANYTHING besides the lemon in the chapter. Ahem, chapter 5.

Chapter 5: E

In a flash Hiei was gone, and in an instant he was back. Kurama was kneeling over a panting Botan, trying to ease her pain. "Do you have the herbs Hiei?" Hiei nodded as Kurama took them and started to make some kind of antidote. Hiei gazed down at the ill Botan, her teeth clenched, eyes shut tight, chest moving up and down rapidly, and her face white as a ghost.

Kurama cursed loudly. It appeared he didn't have the ingredients in order to make such an antidote. The girls noticing the very worried boys over Botan, decided to join them. Shizuru came first followed by the rest, "What's happening?" Her eyes widened as she followed both of their gazes to Botan. She gasped, and knelt to Botan's side.

Keiko and Yukina followed, Keiko spoke cheerfully, "Hey guys what's-" Her face was full of worry as she saw Botan. Yukina stood, her fist clenched to her chest as she asked, "What has happened to Botan Kurama-San?!" All three girls heads turned towards Kurama, looking for answers. "I'll tell you as soon as we leave this place. There's no telling how many of them could be here already." Hiei nodded, and Kurama motioned for Hiei to take Botan. Hiei growled and scooped her up in his arms as they walked towards Yusuke's car.

Yusuke and Kuwabara noticed the gang leaving so followed blindly as Keiko had explained that Kurama would tell them shortly. Their paces became faster as the neared the car. (A/N: Its an SUV so they can all fit) Yusuke, Keiko and Yukina (sharing the seat with Keiko) in front, Kurama, Shizuru and Kuwabara in the second row, and Hiei and Botan in the last row, with Botan lying down, across the seats with her head supported by Hiei's lap.

Thus began the story, told by Kurama.

The gang, wide-eyed listened to the story.

Keiko looked back at Botan when the story was finished, "Poor Botan...." Was what Keiko said before turning to Kurama on the verge of tears, "Will she be alright Kurama?"

Kurama lowered his head ashamed that he would have to be the one to say, "The odds are all against....anyone surviving...." As Kurama's eyes were covered by his red locks, Yukina spoke up, " Kurama-San, is there anyway my healing powers can work?" She asked with a glint of hope in her voice. "I don't think your powers will work in this situation Yukina." Kurama said sadly.

Yukina lowered her head, ashamed she could do nothing to help her friend. Yusuke pounded his fist on the horn of the car, furiously, tears beginning to form in his eyes as he spat out between clenched teeth, "We can't just sit here and watch her die! Botan never gave up on any of us if we were in trouble, so we are not going to give up on her!!!!!!" Everyone's eyes widened at Yusuke's comment. (A/N: Yes even Hiei)

"The detective is right, she has done more things for this team than others." Is how Hiei responded, while looking toward Kuwabara.

Yukina saw the stare, and yelled, "Hiei-San! This is no time to be picking fights, we have to help Botan-Chan!"

Shizuru cooly answered, "She's right, we can't get distracted, at least not until Botan starts getting better."

Yusuke nodded, lifted his head up and grinned, "She'll get better, she has us! Now lets stop feeling sorry for her, or she might think we pity her, and we'll all get a blow to the head!"

Everyone seemed to cheer up at Yusuke's remark, Hiei smirked, Keiko smiled, Yukina giggled, Shizuru grinned, Kuwabara made a weird money-face thing, and Kurama even seemed to chuckle. Yusuke, with a grin plastered on his face, almost stomped on the gas pedal, and the car flew off to Kurama's house.
