Open the door
She smiled and Held out her arm to her master, Haru took up a silver blade and handed it to her. "I wish to see your lust to kill, show me." He said
Botan took up the knife and Cut her arm making five inch-long incisions from her elbow to her wrist. She smiled as her blood tricked in a liquid like Oil to the floor. Botan then licked her blood from the Blade. "I want to kill them." She smiled
"Good, they are stopping you from saving father and now that you have experienced the pain you will cause them you are ready." He smiled and shoved her through the front door with her bow, five point arrows and blade. "Have fun." He smiled as she walked off.
Botan's POV
The smell of life made me want to die, I had to kill them, all of them. Starting with the Red one... Kurama. He made me feel something, but I could not remember what it was, all I knew is that I hated it in my new state. Death was all that mattered to me.
I walked from my home and off to the temple with my bow over my shoulder and my quiver with four arrows. The arrows were a special kind for once it enter the skin it would do more damage if pulled out. The tips of the arrows held a five-pointed star. I smiled in spite of myself for I would surely kill them.
I unscrewed my smile when I saw two of them embracing, the dark one Hiei and some other. They shared a kiss and pulled away. I took this chance and pulled off my Bow and I placed an arrow on the shaft. They still didn't see me there, something in me told me that I did not want to do it but by then it was too late. I let go
The arrow flew off, her mark was the fire demon but something unexpected happened. She stepped in front of him, the water Neko Demon had unknowingly stood before the arrow and it plowed into her. Hiei Gasped as the demon fell into his arms she let out a gasp of pain as I left the scene.
I ran down the steps of the temple, I had missed and I was happily saddened by it. Though I had not taken Hiei's life I had taken something else that I knew he needed, a love.
So ashamed for some reason and yet angered for having failed to kill the demon, I ran away hoping Hiei did not see me. I was blinded by my need to kill. Then I ran into him... Kurama he wrapped his arms around me when he recognized me.
Normal POV
"Botan!" Kurama exclaimed, "I was sure I wouldn't see you this soon." He said, "I am grateful." He hugged Botan and pulled away to look down at her.
Botan's eyes were covered by the shadow of her hair and a dark Aura was coming from her. She began to breath heavy and slowly reached down to find her blade at her side.
"Botan?" Kurama asked unsure of himself, was that even the really Botan? Yes, it was, it had to be, Kurama knew her and what was she. But something was off. And he was right for he was now looking at her arm. He yanked her arm to him, just before she could grab the dagger.
Botan shivered thinking that Kurama had stopped her because he knew her intentions to kill him. She was wrong, apparently he didn't know...
"Botan what is this?" he looked at her cuts. "Did he do this to you?" Kurama asked
"No." she said trying to pull her arm away from him. "I did it," she said and Kurama tightened his grip.
"What would possess you to do such a thing?" he asked letting her arm fall back down.
"Death is what I want for you and the others." Botan pulled out her blade and held it out at him and slashed his left cheek. He was not ready for it so it left a deep gash and his blood slowly seeped through and down his chin.
"Botan?" Kurama wiped the blood from his cheek and chin
"Shut up and die." Botan yelled and lunged at him once more. Kurama moved out of the way. He did nothing but dodge her attacks, not wanting to hurt her. "Fight me."
"I will do no such thing." Kurama said disappearing to catch her from behind. He held her left arm down and her right hand (that held the blade) up in the air. He then moved to place his lips to her ear. "Botan you don't want to do this." he whispered
"Don't tell me..."
"Hush." He soothed her and she dropped the blade as he kissed her cheek. Her tears were falling once more. "I will save you now, you have been so lost." He said
"I..."
"Shh, just listen. Botan, you are not a killer." He said "you are a deity of death, head of the river sticks and you hold this team together, you let us know about cases, Koenma tells you." he said bringing her arms to her side, "We need you and you are our friend, you don't want to kill us." He said, "I don't know what Haru did to you but he cannot take your heart, your soul from you." he whispered, "You know whom you are deep down..." he paused, "Open the door."
Botan felt her knees give in as she closed her eyes against the pain and truthful words. She saw the guardian of the door and she fired a mental arrow of darkness at her. She vanished and Botan stepped to the door and placed her hand on the handle. Botan pulled the handle down and the door swung open revealing a light...then there was darkness as she passed out in his arms.
Kurama sighed and picked her up, leaving the arrows and other destructive weapons behind. He walked to the temple, he had did as he said he would, he freed her... but there was still more to come... he picked up the pace upon hearing and anguished scream that generated from the temple...
