"So, I'm dead now, huh? This can't be good."
"Well, it's never really good when someone dies, but you're a special case, Hiei," said a familiar voice behind him. He flipped around in midair to see Botan sitting on her oar and smiling pleasantly at him.
"Have you come to take me to Hell," Hiei asked sharply.
Botan winced at his tone, but soon recovered her bubbly character.
"No silly, Koenma sent me to get you! You're going to be given the chance to come back."
"And what if I don't want to go back? What if I'm happy being dead?" Hiei smirked at the blue-haired girl.
"Well, if you're gone, who will protect Yukina if something like this ever happens again? Are you going to leave that job to Kuwabara," she asked with a laugh.
Hiei's smirk faltered, and his eyes flashed. Botan had struck a nerve. Slowly, and very unwillingly, he grasped Botan's hand and allowed her to pull him all the way out of the castle. When they reached the warm sunlight outside, he plopped himself down behind Botan on her oar and held on.
"Do you have a good grip? Okay, let's go!"
Hiei's grasp on the oar tightened as they took off upwards. They soared higher and higher until they finally broke through into the Spirit Realm. Hiei looked down at the colorful plains and the seemingly unending River Styx. Coming up ahead of them was the Gate of Judgment and Koenma's castle.
Hiei swallowed hard as the he stared at the castle that loomed ahead. What would Koenma ask of him? Would it be anything unreasonable? He glanced at Botan and found her staring at him. As soon as he looked at her, she giggled, blushed a bright shade of scarlet, and looked ahead again.
"She's always been so strange around me," Hiei thought. Why was she like this around him, and not Kurama or Yusuke, or even Kuwabara? He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice them start to descend until they were almost to the gate.
He brushed his thoughts aside as they landed in front of the gigantic doors. Botan walked over to the tiny speaker box and spoke into it.
"Hullo! It's Botan! I've brought Hiei!"
The doors opened and they started inside through the long hallway into the main chamber. Here, there was so much noise and so many onis running around that Hiei could barely hear himself think.
"Alright then, Hiei. Let's go see Koenma," Botan said, and they set off toward the deity's office.
