Hey guys I'm back again with a new chapter and remember: If you were once an anonymous reviewer and couldn't review, you now can! I didn't even know I had the box checked! ;

Without any further-a-due, Chapter 6: E

The gang groggily skimmed through the extremely thick and boring books that Kurama had so violently threw at them.

Every few hours or so, Botan would have another coughing fit and throw up blood. And every few hours Yukina would have to heal her. Everyone was exhausted and grumpy. Hiei and Kurama had been up all night. Kurama, reading book after book, and Hiei, helping Botan when she needed it, although he complained many times that he had better thing to do, when he really didn't.

Kurama skimmed through the last book in his pile, Yusuke looking over his shoulder, when he came across a special herb, it read: The Koibiashmaru herb (A/N: made that up) it can heal any type of spider, snake, Oni, or vampire bite. Located in the tropics of Makai.

Kurama abruptly lifted his head, hitting Yusuke in the face as he did. "We're going to the tropics of makai."

He explained to everyone about the Koibiashmaru herb and what it can do.

"Now..." Kurama started. "This plant is located in the tropics of Makai, which is hot, tropical, and it has billions of poisonous snakes, spiders, insects, even some rare demons there have venomous fangs."

Keiko gasped and asked, "And we have to go there?!"

Kurama glared towards Keiko and started in a very agitated voice, "Yes, Keiko, it is the only way to help Botan. Got it, hun?" Kurama said through clenched teeth.

Keiko sweat dropped and said, "Yes I get it."

Kurama, twitching like a mad man, managed to mutter, "Good." (A/N: Keep in mind, Kurama hasn't slept, he's like a girl PMSing, very pissy.)

Kuwabara, being as dumb as he is, said to Kurama, "How are we gonna get there?"

Kurama's eyes widened as he fell, flat on his face anime style.

His face muffled by the carpet Kurama said, "I haven't thought that far yet."

Meanwhile with Hiei and Botan

Botan managed a little cough, soon by a little line of blood flowing from the side of her mouth. Hiei had enough of this nonsense. He walked out of the door and spoke in a calm, but stern voice, "Listen you stupid buffoons! Incase you haven't noticed the Onna is getting worse, now don't you think that if we let her die, that this extremely long night without a wink of sleep, trying to help her, would be a waste?!"

And with that Hiei scowled and went back into the room Botan was in.

Kurama looked down, ashamed, and left the room, a little teary-eyed. (A/N: Remember, Kurama and Botan have connected and became real close, like brother and sister almost.)

Kurama opened the communicator to contact Koenma, "Hello, Koenma?"

Koenma's face appeared on the screen and he answered, "Ah, why hello Kurama, what's up?"

Kurama, not wanting to alert Koenma about Botan's condition yet, simply replied, " Yes, well, I was wondering if I could ask you a favor."

"Well, sure what is it?"

Kurama, thinking as he went along, "Well, Yusuke and the others haven't had a case in a while, and just wanted to go to Makai for a few demon beatings."

Koenma raised an eyebrow and said, "You guys are the strangest bunch I've ever met, but alright. I'll send a portal to the mirror in your room, alright?"

Kurama bowed and replied, "Thank you, Koenma-Sama, oh and one more thing."

"What is it?" Koenma asked.

"Well, could you make the portal, to the tropics of Makai?"

Koenma looked at Kurama as if he were crazy, "But that place has all sorts of poisonous herbs, demons and creatures, are you sure?"

Kurama nodded and they said their goodbyes.

Kurama popped through the door, "Everyone get dressed, we're leaving in ten minutes."

Kurama looked at his mirror, all sorts of colors swirling and changing, until a picture of an empty, tropical beach appeared.

Everyone appeared behind Kurama, Hiei carrying Botan in his arms, asked Kurama, "So, that's where we're going?" Kurama nodded and stepped inside the mirror. (A/N: It's a full length mirror) Followed by the rest of the gang.

Hiei shot his hand over his eyes, blocking the sun from them. Kurama taking slow steps and looking left and right, as he neared the forest on the far side of the beach. They were almost at the forest, until Kurama heard a little whimper.

Botan was shaking, as a little line of blood flowing from her mouth down to her chin.

Kurama walked at a faster pace, and made it into the forest, he called to the others who had stopped to take care of Botan, that he would go ahead.

Kurama sighed as he sat down, letting the tears flow freely, "What if I never get to tell her?" He whispered to himself. Unaware of Hiei behind him who finally spoke up, "Tell who, what?"

Kurama's eyes widened, he wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt, but to no avail as they just fell again. Kurama turned around to face Hiei and managed to mutter, "I said, What if I never get to tell Botan that..........she really is my sister........"

Alright sorry for the cliffy. I'll make sure to update as soon as I can. But please promise me you'll review!!!!
