(Alternate ending)
Alright! You win people, here's an alternate ending for you. If you didn't like the sadness of Botan dying, then this is for you. Of course, you can read it just for kicks even if you didn't mind to original ending so much. I hope you like it, it took me a few days to work out all of these two pages. BTW sorry for how short it is compared to the first part. Enjoy! .
He took the baby into his arms and held her close, he could already see the similarities she would share with Botan. Beautiful mauve eyes, blue hair and a natural beauty. Tears found themselves rolling down his cheeks, hitting the floor as tiny gems.
There was no way he could give this child everything she deserved, not without his love by his side. But the baby couldn't leave the hospital, not for another day or two, and by then it would be too late to save Botan. He would have to go now. He looked desperately at Botan's body, as though she were merely sleeping and not gone, but he could not hear her heart beat anymore, so she could not still be alive, could she?
Koenma had been sitting at his desk when Ayame had burst into the room crying. "Something's wrong! Something's wrong with Botan!" The tears streaming down her face told him more than he wanted to hear, more than he ever wanted to know. She pushed her ferrying list in front of his face and he gasped. Botan's name was on the list, but she wasn't supposed to die today. She was supposed to live for another hundred years or so. "Go fetch her soul, now! You have to get to her before it's too late!"
She ran out of his office, he didn't need to tell her twice. She flew as quickly as she could to the hospital, where she was greeted by a wailing baby and a crying Hiei. Botan's soul was crying in the corner of the room, her baby and her love were crying and she couldn't hold them. And it was all her fault! Ayame approached her carefully and placed a hand on her friend's shaking shoulder, "Botan? Koenma wants to see you..."
"C-can he do anything? I can't leave him with the baby...I can't leave him to take care of her..." Botan cried as she launched herself into Ayame's arms, "Shh... it's okay, Koenma says your not supposed to die. You still have a chance, but we have to hurry okay sweetie?" Botan's spirit nodded and they flew back to Rekai at top speed, to be greeted by a crying Koenma. "Botan! This isn't right! You're not supposed to die!" Seeing her boss and friend crying broke Botan out of her self-pity long enough to remember what Ayame had said.
"Can...can you bring me back? For Hiei...and for our baby?" Koenma looked down at the papers on his desk and wiped away his tears, "Yes. I can bring you back because you're needed in the future. But you have to pass a test. You have to convince us that Hiei really needs you to take care of your daughter with him. You only have a week though." Botan sniffled and her shoulders shook with a few sobs, "Of course he needs me to help take care of her! She won't stop crying, how will he feed her! They need me and you know it!"
Ayame wrapped an arm around Botan's shoulder in comfort and the door opened behind them, revealing Hiei. "Toddler...Koenma...you have to bring her back! I can't take care of a baby! I'm just a demon, I don't know anything about being a father...please, just give her back!" Koenma gasped at the pleading tone and the sound of small jewels hitting the floor. Well, it was certainly clear that Hiei wasn't strong enough to do this alone.
He stood up and walked over to Botan's spirit, "Return to your body, but hurry, I can only let you back into it for so long." Botan's spirit nodded and he opened a portal for her, so he could bee sure she would get there in time. She ran through the portal, closely followed by Ayame and Hiei, and came out in her hospital room. Several doctors were around her body, trying to make her heart beat again, so they did not notice the portal.
Botan's spirit ran quickly to her body and touched her forehead, a bright light sprung forth at the contact, unseen by the doctors and Hiei, which engulfed both Botan's body and spirit. When the light went away, Botan opened her eyes and the doctors started shouting in success, "We did it! She's alive!" Rang through not only the whole room, but also everyone within it. Botan sat up quickly and looked around the room for someone, "Hiei! Where's the baby?" He ran forward and embraced her tightly, and the doctors to backed up to give them room.
A nurse came into the room, having heard the gleeful shouts from the nursery, carrying the baby girl who looked so much like Botan. "Here she is miss. Your healthy baby girl." She handed the crying little baby to Botan and the crying stopped immediately. Botan looked deeply into the little girl's eyes and smiled, "What should we name her Hiei?" He looked between his love and their baby, "Reyna." Hiei smiled at his love and kissed her sweetly, "Perfect."
