Razorblades and Cupcakes
Clouds of looming darkness swept over the light blue ski and veiled the sun making the clouds look as if they had been caught in a blue fire of light and dark. Kurama ran as his powers slowly surged in and out of control. Karasu watches him from the top of the hospital and smirked to see his precious flower in such pain. "It only gets worse from here." He smiled and faded into the prism of darkness in the sky.
The knob turned slowly and the door was pushed open just enough for it to stop before hitting the rubber door stop. Kurama looked up from the ground and sniffed the air. Something was wrong here? Something… Someone has been bleeding. Maya! Kurama ran to her bedside and he didn't have to go too far when he noticed the white sheets were a pinkish hue as blood seeped from Maya's arm. One long cut lead from her wrist all the way up toward the bend in her arm. Suicide? No. it couldn't have been.
The door clicked to a close behind him and he turned around to see a bloody note on the door. 'How dare you choose her over me. Now you are left with nothing.' Kurama glared at the message, "Botan." He growled and pressed the nurse button before jumping out the open window.
"Botan, Please come out of there. I brought cupcakes." Mariah called from the other side of the door. "What happened? Please talk to me."
"Go away. I don't want to talk to anyone-" Botan was cut off by Ayame's voice on the loud speaker.
"Would Botan please come to Koenma's office, Please." She spoke sternly and professionally then turned to Koenma. "Is this all necessary, Sir? We have no proof that it was her."
"I am quiet aware of that but we needn't give her time to hide the evidence if she did commit the crime. And Kurama is not one to tell a lie about something of this magnitude." He spoke sadly. "She has been acting strangely these past few days."
"Y-you wanted to see me, Koenma sir?" Botan walked through the double doors and bowed as she stopped at his desk.
"Just sit there for a bit." He smiled and waves Ayame off and she vanished in a puff of smoke. "How are you? You okay?"
"Um, yes. Just fine." She spoke nervously. "Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing you should be worried about just yet." He smiled and went to work stamping papers and reading requests.
"I just don't know about this. Botan is not the type to kill anyone. There is no way she did this and we have to find a way to…" Yusuke paused when they reached her door. On the ground lay a dozen cupcakes and a silver tray. "What the?"
"Who would just leave cupcakes like that?" Kuwabara whispered but was cut off when the door swung open hitting him in the face. "Ouch"
"Maybe you'll watch it next time." One of the members of the spirit police force spoke. "Now get that to Koenma. Botan is guilty of murdering that human." He spoke and five other officers rushed out of the room.
"What? There is no way she did it." Yusuke burst and grabbed the wrist of the officer.
"Oh No? Then why did we find this bloody razorblade in her room, with her finger prints on it?"
"That just can't be true." Yusuke let him go and looked down. "She isn't… she just-"
"She did it and now she will be judged." The spirit officer waved off the others and walked back to Koenma's office with them. "Find evidence that she didn't do it." He called back to him.
"That's just what we'll do! This cupcake thing has to be part of something. And we are gonna find out." Yusuke smiled and looked down. "Kuwabara, what the hell are you doing? Get up off the floor." He said
Kuwabara looked up dizzily, "dumb door" he whimpered and followed Yusuke to Koenma's office where he saw Hiei and Kurama. "Hey guys, come to prove she didn't do it?"
"That I didn't do what?" She stood up. "Someone tell me what's going on."
"You are under arrest for the murder of a human girl." The captain of the spirit police said sternly and placed a set of glowing handcuffs around her wrists. Botan struggled and looked up at them.
"You can't be serious! I didn't do it! I swear I didn't." she looked up at Yusuke and the others. "You guys know I would never do this. And Kurama, you know me better than anyone, you believe me don't you?"
"I was the one who turned you in." he growled and walked out.
"What?" Botan mouthed and slumped and was dragged away. "This is just another one of my daydreams. This isn't real." She whispered in her mind. She sighed as they walked along a path that lead to the holding rooms before judgment. "I wanted them to be together I didn't kill her. Please believe me." The door slammed shut and she was alone.
Botan leaned up against the wall and pulled her legs to her chest and rested her head on her knees. "How unfortunate for you," a smooth sinister voice danced through the moonbeams that seeped through the bars in her window. "Maybe next time you won't fall foolishly in love." She looked up and blinked when she saw no one. "Don't you know me?"
"w-who's there?" she slowly stood up.
"No one important. But I must say you are in quiet a jam. And the one you love, Kurama. Has turned on you and you will surely be sent to the deepest darkest part of hell for what you have done." She could hear the smirk in his voice. "But perhaps you can escape? If you could… would you?"
