Chapter 9

Dark and Darker

((((Star at the Bar...Botan?))))

"Nozomi!" (I realize that it is a girl's name but who cares right he is the dude who is trying to take Botan away...it's an insult...Sry 4 the irruption) Botan looked up and met his violet gaze with her pink teary eyes.

"Botan are you okay?" He asked her

"I'm Fine." she said as he helped her up.

"I don't believe that...was it your friend?" he asked as if knowing too much

"H-how did you know?" she asked him

"The way to told me that he was 'just a friend' you made it sound like he was much more to you." he said

"Oh."

"Tell me what happened." he said

"I don't think I can." she said. Botan was caught off guard when Nozomi took hold of her face in both hands making her look at him.

"I would never make you cry." was all he said before walking away leaving Botan completely speechless. 'Botan, ol' girl just snap out of it.' she told herself 'now go find Hiei and fix everything.' she thought and turned around to find Hiei.

She walked up and down the halls and back to the room, she did not find him there. She ran into Shizuru on her way to the bar.

"Hey Botan." Shizuru said "looking for Hiei?"

"Oh yes, who did you know? Never mind that do you know where I can find him?" She asked but Shizuru shook her head no.

"Sorry kiddo, I would love to help you look but I have a date with Ramelle." she said blushing

"It's okay." Botan snapped her fingers and her oar appeared. "I will find him." she said and flew off.

"Hurry it up Nozomi!" yelled the woman in the purple dress at the mirror on her wall with Nozomi on the receiving end.

"She is still I love with that forbidden one. Don't worry my queen I will bring your daughter to you." Nozomi gave a bow

"Hiei!" Botan yelled her voice echoed through the park near the beach, the full moon overlooked the ocean leaving a glimmer on the waves of the ocean. The moon made everything look so pure and untouched. Botan slowly sank from the sky and onto tall monkey bars. "I'm sorry I need to explain something to you...Please." she hunger her head.

"Hn. well what is it, onna?" Hiei stood next to her on the bars.

"Hiei!" she yelled so loud that she lost balance and started to fall backwards but Hiei caught her. "thanks." she blushed from embarrassment.

"Well what do you have to say?" he asked her as he set her down on the ground.

"I have a confession to make..." she started but grabbed her stomach in pain, and her head started to pound as well. she began to breathe heavily. Hiei tried to hold her steady but she passed out on his arms.

Kayko, Shizuru, and Yukina were sitting in the girl's room telling stories about current and old boyfriends and "Shizuru's date" and laughing when Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Jin, Touya, Chu and Rinku walking in.

"Yusuke!" Kayko yelled

"What?" he looked at her and then behind him at the four new guests. "oh, they only came by for a visit. You think I want to get kicked out of the hotel?" he looked at her

"Yeah, I guess we should be going now anyway...now that your gone Koenma is making us do his work. Your vacation better be worth it." Touya said

"Considering the news you gave us I don't see that happening." Yusuke said as he waved them off.

"Good-bye...Yadda yadda yadda." Chu said and they were all gone.

"Well what news did he give you?" Kayko asked

"Uh...the weather report...yeah it's going to rain." he lied

"Don't you lie to me." Kayko warned

Yusuke let out a sigh "hit it Kurama." he said

"Very well...Where is Star?"

"La La la." Star was drinking a volcano, she was an addict. "Who hoo, P.A.R.T...Y? Because I gotta!" Star began to dance on the bar...

"So you have to keep a look out for the Demon of darkness, the Divinity of Darkness?" Kayko thought to recap

"Yep." Kuwabara said. Just then the door burst open to reveal Hiei with a frantic and shivering Botan in his arms.

"What happened to her?" Kurama shot up at the sight of his sister? Everyone crowded around them
