Homicidal Urges

There in the dark hue that the rain left behind as it fell Kurama held Botan as the rain coated her blue hair casing it to curl slightly. The smell of the rain was intoxicating to Kurama's sensitive nose. Kurama let her cry against him; he was feeling her pain is if it were his own. There was nothing he could do about Botan's hurt but hold her. His hands grasped at her clothes.

"Kurama? I know what I have to do..." she spoke against him as a soft roll of thunder dotted the clouds. She pulled back from him to look into his eyes, "I have to go back to him." she spoke it so softly that she was sure that Kurama didn't hear it, but he heard it, every word, every meaning.

"I can't let you go back to him," the fear that he would never see her again was too strong. Never had he held a fear this powerful... save for when he lost Kuronue, this was different, he loved her with his soul.

"I have to, I have to find out the truth and I fear that the only way to do so is to go back and play along." She said "I will inform you of everything, you are detectives right? So then I can also help you stop him." Botan smiled

"Yes I see. But Botan, I may not be able to help you if he tries to hurt you." Kurama spoke, "Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara, and the others would never forgive me. I could not forgive myself. "Botan placed a finger on his lips and fell back onto his chest to hear his heart once more...

Genkai's temple

The storm caused Nakia to jump, the little Neko, demon was also secretly part Water nymph, was sitting all alone in a room of the Temple. The two known as Kuwabara and Yusuke had gone off to the kitchen with the Girls known as Yukina and Kaiko.

She sat there in the cool room and watched the rain fall from the sky. Being that she was part demon of the water element she stood up and walked out into the rain to become one with it. Little did she know that Hiei was in a tree not too far and he began to watch her as she stood in the middle of a field.

Her eyes were closed and her hands were put together as if she were praying, she was mediating, becoming one with the element around her. Her body began to ripple and her skin turned from a soft peach to a pale cerulean.

She opened her mouth and began to sing. Hiei had known her for a while and had never known that she was only half and half. She had never shown that side of her, perhaps she was ashamed of it...Hiei swallowed hard as her soft song glided through her lips and to his ears.

"As it falls, darkness calls,

Rain to be, watery sea

Time drops falling, still it's calling

The darkness, the cold the free rain

To my water goddess

Queen of the Nile,

Let me become one with thee

The rain is soul, my heart his water..."

Hiei allowed her last note to echo before flitting down to her. He stood right in front of her with a fire in his eyes. Water and fire don't mix... but what of water and ice, were they not one and the same? Hiei shrugged and watched as her eyes opened. Her eyes were a clear blue.

Nakia took a step back, "You, saw that?" she said

"Hn." Hiei shrugged

"You were not to see me like that...no one was..." Nakia turned to run...

Botan's POV

I left Kurama reluctant to go, but I knew that o had to, I Knew that going back was my only way to find out how to open the door. Kurama handed me a compact, or a communication mirror as he called it. That way I could call him if need be.

And even if I found nothing by going back I would always know that Kurama would be okay. If he were away from me, he could not get hurt. I was grateful for that.

As I reached my "home" Haru stood outside tapping his foot in anger, it was nearing mid-noon and he had let me leave yesterday.

"You're late, I gave you that day off and you take two? That means you will train harder from now on." he said "now get out of the rain." He said

I was soaked to the bone; it was a miracle that I wasn't sick. I froze when I heard him sniff the air. Kurama's scent must have been all over me.

"Who is that?" Haru asked and I shrugged hoping he would drop the matter but he did not. "So you have made new friends." He said and took a step closer and I knew that I was in trouble. I took a step back and he yanked my hair. "They had brainwashed you," he said

"No! They did not..." oops

"Ha, I knew you were with them." He dragged me into the house and I thought that I would never see Kurama again...after what he was going to do I would wish it so.

An hour later

I stepped free from a dark room; I saw nothing of what Haru did to me, all I knew was I wanted to kill. The urge was so strong that I lost all sense; I needed to fell the skin between my nails as I scratched it free from a body. I had to kill them, I wanted to kill The Urameshi team, and I would.
