For you, I will: Part One
"Let me out of here!" Botan yelled, "I don't want to end the world! I won't give up my soul freely! So there is no point in…"
"Shut up!" Haru roared back at her, "you will help me and you will give up your soul. Your friends are coming to save you. I knew that dome wouldn't hold them long but it was enough time to set my plan in motion." He said
"What plan? Let me go."
"Like I would tell you, surely you know me better than that. You will see what I mean in due time. For now, Eat." He opened the door and placed a bowl of Roman on the floor and shut the door once more, "You might want to head my words for that may be your last warm meal." He snickered as he walked away.
"What am I going to do now?" She fell back against the wall and slid to the floor bringing her legs up to her chest and resting her forehead on her knees. The moon's radiating ribbons of light coated her making her pure skin glow with an angelic hue.

Yusuke Stood with his fist clenched at his sides, there was no way he would die in a purple bubble. "Give me a break! Lets get out of here and kick Haru's ass!" he pointed his index finger at one of the walls
"Hn. You tried that already, what makes you think it will work this time?" Hiei said aggravated himself.
"Well I have to try, there is no way I will let some prissy demon boy take one of my friends and destroy the world by letting his master out of some hellhole!" the smooth beeping of Yusuke's Spirit gun filled the air as he aimed once more. "Stand back!"
"Yusuke, I don't think you should, if this doesn't work it could kill us." Kurama said and Kuwabara let out an objection to the thought of Yusuke killing all of them with another foolish move.
"So you're saying that I could either kill us or free us?" Yusuke asked the red head and he nodded, "my favorite odds." He smiled and turned his attention back to the wall. "Spirit Gun!" he yelled and the world around them turned blue as a thin line of Yusuke's energy hit the wall in a marvelous blow of blue light.

"How are things going Haru?" asked the dark voice in the mirror once more
"Well masster, the Uramesshi team is trapped within the portal of ssoulss and I have the girl with the ssoul locked up." He said
"Good. As soon as the moon is full you may kill her with the soul sword. But first you must begin the ritual." The dark boss demon laughed as the mirror faded out.
The little sycophant smiled, as he was about to do good for his master. Getting rid of his lisp he walked from his room and to the tower to prepare the sacrifice. With the soul sword he no longer needed her to give up her soul freely He merely needed to stab the cold steel into her heart at the very moment her thoughts were on one she loved and when the full moon drenched her. The moon was easy but Haru didn't know whom she loved, but that bit of information would not be hard to find.
Reaching her door he saw her weeping in the corner of her small prison. Haru only laughed to see such a sight and unlocked the door causing her flinch and look up at him. "Hello darling." He said through the darkness.
Botan looked at him through sad eyes but said nothing to him. He only smiled and walked in and toward her. He smiled down at her and pulled her by the ponytail dragging her up off the ground, as he did so Botan let out screams of pain and protest and she was pulled from the room leaving only the echo of her scream behind.

The eyes of our four heroes opened one by one; Yusuke sat up with Kurama and Hiei as they held their heads. "Alright we made it." Yusuke smiled
Kuwabara groaned as he sat up, "you are just a luck bastard Urameshi." He said
"Lets go and get Botan back before they use her…" Kurama stopped as his pocket rang; reaching in he pulled out a communication mirror. "Koenma?" Kurama said to let the other know who it was and they gathered around him.
"You must hurry, there isn't much time until the moon is full." He said
"Relax, she wont give up her soul freely now that she knows the truth." Yusuke yawned
"That is where you are wrong, you see it seems the enemy has gotten a hold of the Soul Sword. Botan will no longer have to give it freely. The sword will rip it right out of her." Koenma said, "You must Hurry. If she is killed the demon will be free and more importantly we will lose Botan in both the world of the living and dead…" he was cut off as Kurama shut the compact.
"This is way serious. Come on guys we have to get her back." Kuwabara said and closed his eyes, tapping into his spirit awareness, "she is that way." He pointed and without hesitation the boys were off.
---Botan's Pov---
It was a hard dream that was really a nightmare come true. All I wanted to do was know by all by now and I failed to prove myself to the team. Kurama however was the one I regretted letting down the most. He was my love and he knew it. Now it was too late now it was dark and cold. I can't tell if my eyes are open. There is a cold slab of steal beneath me and my arms and legs were bound to the table. And I could remember a sunroof with the full moon almost set at the center before I closed my eyes.
---
"A few more moments and the moon will be in the right place." Haru said looking at the sunroof then at Botan who was strapped down to a table next to a huge purple door with black spikes all over, the doorway was wide and came to an arch at the top. "Soon, soon."
