Botan was lying on her stomach on her bed looking at the wilting flowers that Hiei had given to her the other day. The once beautiful flowers, filled with colors and beautiful smells, were becoming black and hard. They were far from beautiful now. "They are sad, like me." She said out loud as a tear fell down her cheek and splashed against her pillow. It had been already two days ago that they took their little break. Botan realized time was not on her side, "Oh! I need to get ready for work!" She exclaimed when she caught a glimpse of the clock. She got ready and burst out her door. She stopped in the ogres workroom (AN- Uhhh, I am not sure what that room is really called. If you know then TELL ME PLEASE!). She walked up to a green Ogre. "Good Morning, do you have paper work for me today?" Botan said with a fake smile.
The green ogre looked at her, "Uhhhh, yes, I do..." He said as he thumbed thru the papers. "Ahh, here we go!" He said as he handed her the papers.
Botan looked at the top. A frown fell upon her face. "Oh dear I hate these cases." She said with a sigh. She studied the papers and saw the picture of a little girl about the age of two. Her name was Tana Kani; she had very short brown hair. She had a sweet innocent smile on her face. Botan saw that she was dying of a very bad flu. "This is not at all fair!" She rushed to Koenma's office. She began banging on the door. "KOENMA OPEN THE DOOR!" The door opened and she slammed the papers on the desk. "Koenma, sir, I want you to let her get better! Please! I hate bringing young children here!" She said now with tears in her eyes.
Koenma studied the paper. "Botan, I can't give her anymore time. And besides, it will be better for her to come here." He said as he handed the papers back to her.
Botan looked at him with a look that could kill. "What could be worse then dying at a young age?!" She exclaimed.
Koenma jumped down from his desk and motioned her to follow him, "Come and see. This is a good lesson for you to learn. I made this decision based on which life will be better." He continued as they traveled to the little girl's home.
Botan stared at the home in awe. "What horrible living conditions!" She said.
The home was falling apart. Half of the roof was dissipated away. They traveled inside and the floor was nothing but dirt. Things like clothes, papers, and food scraps were all over the floor. On the door was a notice that this house was to torn down in a few more days.
"What will happen to her parents?" Botan asked still staring at the house.
"They, will be fine for now. But they won't if she lives." He transported them to the hospital, where the two parents sat by the little girl's bed, her father to the left holding her left hand, and her mother on the right holding that hand. "They are very loving parents but can't make a good home for her. There is only enough room in the shelter for two people." He said to her.
Botan still felt bad about taking an innocent child to the spirit world. She landed by the foot of the bed and reached, she touched her face.
She looked like she was in a lot of pain. She was highly dehydrated and was as pail as a piece of paper. She looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't. She was also very thin.
Botan wanted her to smile again. She reached inside of the little girl and pulled her out of her body. The little girl looked at her body under her. At first she was confused and scared until Botan pulled her close to her, "Everything will be better, you don't need to worry about anything anymore." Botan said to her.
Her parents looked at the heart monitor and saw as her heartbeat left her. Her mother pulled the body close to her and began to sob. Her father moved behind her and comforted her fighting back his own tears.
"I can not bear to watch this anymore. Let's go." Botan said as she guided the little girl to Spirit World. She led the little girl to a room to wait in until Koenma decided where she was to reside for eternity. She gave the little girl a hug in comfort that everything will be all right and she left the room and looked at her paperwork. For some reason there was only one sheet left, 'this is strange,' she thought as she read the note on the paper.
Dear Botan,
Please take the rest of the day off; I regret sending you to get the
young girl. So accept my apology and spend the day in the Living
World.
Signed,
Koenma
Botan smiled at the letter and left for the Living world. After she reached the living world she thought, 'I wonder what Hiei is doing today.' She knew that she couldn't see him, so she just walked. 'What if this break really makes Hiei realize he doesn't love me? What if he decides he likes a life in solitude? What would I do?' Botan questioned herself.
Keiko saw Botan deep in thought, she ran up to her and began yelling, "Botan! Botan! Hey Botan!"
Botan didn't hear Keiko and kept questioning herself. 'Was I dumb to have suggested this break? What's going to happen?' All of a sudden Botan felt a hand on her shoulder. This startled Botan at first, she jumped around and saw Keiko standing in front of her.
"Oh! Botan, I'm sorry I startled you!" Keiko exclaimed to Botan.
"No, it's ok...I was just...thinking..." Botan told her.
"Oh? Thinking about what?" Keiko asked.
"Oh, it's...nothing, just...a...bad day..." She said.
Keiko looked at Botan's sad face. She knew that Botan didn't really want to talk about anything so she said, "Well, I gotta get going. I'll talk to you later Botan." With that she walked away.
Botan continued worrying herself over Hiei finding that he likes his solo life. She became so enthralled in her thoughts that she didn't realize her walk lead her to the downtown area.
A gang of big guys with leather jackets looked at Botan through their black sunglasses. The leader of the pack strutted up to her. "Hey there girl." He began touching her shoulder. "What's a pretty lady like you doing here?" He finished as he turned her around.
Botan looked at the tall big man. He stood about six feet tall and had very large muscles. She noticed her surroundings and saw just where she was. "Oh dear, I wondered a little too far, well I will turn around and go on back home." She said as she tried to walk away, but the man that had talked to her grabbed her by the arm.
"I don't think so lady, you're not going anywhere." He said as he pulled her close to him.
Botan now became very scared and tried to get out of his grasp. Her efforts were futile. "Let me go!" She yelled as she continually pulled away.
"Aww, you're maken me feel bad, you wanna leave right when we get acquainted." Said the large man holding on to Botan with a sad tone to his voice.
Bystanders saw what was going on as they walked by, but none of them wanted to help because they knew whom this gang was and didn't have the nerve to fight. Mother's rushed their children by so they wouldn't be seen.
"HELP ME! HELP ME!" Botan screamed as she still fought the large man. She fought until she was out of energy and she could no longer fight. "Some...body...please...help...me..." She let out as her eyes drooped and she relaxed.
Just as Yusuke was walking by and saw the big man holding a woman in his arms, "Those guys have been doing this long enough!" He said as he prepared himself to fight. "Hey you!" He said pointing to the leader.
The big guy looked at him and saw Yusuke, "What do you want boy?" He asked.
That's when Botan opened her eyes again and saw Yusuke standing there, "Oh Yusuke, what wonderful timing! I am so glad you decided to join our little party here, now I would like it very much if you would get over here and kick some butt!" Botan said with a cheerful voice.
Yusuke was stunned to see that it was Botan he was holding rather just some girl. "B...B...Botan?" He said. He shook out of his shock and ran up to the guy for a punch. He went flying and hit the man in the gut as he lie motionless on the ground as Botan went running and hid behind Yusuke. "You ok Botan?" He asked.
"Oh yes just fine, just a little shook up, that's all." Botan replied.
"Ok, kid, you are in big trouble now! You don't mess with the Titans, now give us our little lady friend back," said one of the Titans as he walked closer to Botan. This one stood taller then the leader, this one stood about six feet three inches and wasn't as well built as their leader.
"Back off, let me guess you're the big dumb one, we've got one in our gang too!" Yusuke said with a chuckle, thinking of Kuwabara. "Now, let us be or you all will be like that dude right there on the ground." He said as he pointed to the leader again.
The 'big dumb one' became angry with Yusuke now "No one calls me dumb!" He said as he charged at Yusuke.
Yusuke looked back at Botan briefly, "Botan go hid somewhere until I am done with these losers." He ordered.
Botan nodded and ran by a dumpster and hid.
Yusuke extended his arm out in a fist and yelled, "SHOT GUN!" as bullets of light flew from his fist to the gang members landing them on the ground unconscious. Yusuke walked up to Botan, who now stood looking at the men that had attacked her. "They didn't hurt ya did they Botan?" He asked.
"No, they only scared me." She said, "Thank you Yusuke."
"What are you doing on this side of town anyways?" He asked.
"Well, I just took a walk and found myself here, I wasn't really paying close attention." She said.
They began walking out of the downtown area just as who should appear in the area? (AN- I'll give you three guesses after you remember the title of this chapter) Hiei saw as Yusuke was walking with Botan and jumped to a conclusion. He became very angry as he jumped in front of the two of them ready to fight Yusuke for her.
"Hiei!" They said surprised to see the short fire demon standing in front of them.
"Botan, what are you doing here with Yusuke?" He asked seeming to be hurt.
Botan rushed over to Hiei, "Hiei this is not what it looks like!" She began, "Yusuke just saved me from a gang of thugs and so we were walking out of this part of town together!" She said.
Hiei looked at Botan not believing her. He closed his eyes and slowly turned around and began to walk away.
Now Botan was angry, she ran over and stopped him, "Hiei! If you really loved me you would believe me! Hiei I love you and besides, Yusuke has a girlfriend, or have you forgotten Keiko?"
"How should I know you are telling me the truth? I know what I saw!" Hiei yelled.
"Things aren't ALWAYS what they seem!" She yelled back.
Yusuke felt uncomfortable so he snuck away to leave the two of them to their arguing.
Hiei looked at her with wide eyes. "But, how do I know what I am seeing is not true?" He asked.
Botan put her hand on Hiei's shoulder and looked at him, "you just have to trust the people in your life." She said.
Hiei was still confused, not only did he have to get used to love but also now he had to trust? This whole thing meant a lot of changes in Hiei. He was feeling a new feeling now. "Botan, what do you call a feeling where your stomach feels like there is a big hole in it...you feel almost ill? I mean, I started thinking of all the changes and I started feeling this." He explained.
Botan looked at him and smiled, "Hiei, that's fear, you are afraid of Change." She explained to him.
Hiei became furious, "I AM AFRAID OF NOTHING!" He exclaimed as he turned away.
"Hiei, it's ok to be afraid. Don't be ashamed of fear." She said to him.
Hiei looked at Botan, "but fear shows weakness." He said.
"Everyone is afraid of something, even demons." She told him.
"Then tell me what Toguro was afraid of...tell me what the saint beasts were afraid of! Tell me what all the other demons we have faced were afraid of!" He yelled as something fell down his cheek. A tear, a tear fell from Hiei's eye. The first time a tear ever fell from his eye.
