Botan took a few minuets to relax before going back to Hiei. Still crying Botan told him. I'll do it. Hiei had a small smile on his face. Not that he wanted to die, but he didn't want to live like this.
Botan walked over to Hiei and held his hand in hers. Before I do this I want to tell you one thing. She told him. Her tears fell onto Hiei's face. I love you hiei. I always have. She cried even more. I love you too Botan. And I'm sorry I'm making you do this. Now do it. Before she did anything else Botan wrapped her arms around him and cried on his shoulder. He put his arms around her too.
When they let go Botan grabbed the sword and unsheathed it. She was ready. Tears streaming down her face she pierced Hiei's heart and cried harder.
Hiei was ready for this. He lay there waiting. The last things he felt were the cold metal blade go through his chest and Botan's tears.
The others came to check on Hiei right after that. When they came in they heard Botan crying. They ran to Hiei's room. They were all shocked to see Botan crying over Hiei's body, Hiei's sword through his chest, and Botan's hands on the hilt of the sword.
"What happened here?" Kurama asked walking over to Botan. "Did you do this?" he asked putting a hand on her shoulder. He heard her mumbled voice. "He asked me to." She said. "Do you know why?" "Yes. He said it was the only way to break the curse."
Botan cried herself to sleep that night. She regretted doing it now, but she didn't want to see him so upset. It was so hard for her. She had come to love him so much and even though he loved her too she still felt worse after each minute that passed. She knew it was because she couldn't be with him.
Hiei had arrived in spirit world. He was brought to Koenma. After a moment of silence Koenma spoke. "There is no way I can restore your life as long a the curse plagues your body. Only breaking the curse will bring you back." Hiei gave his usual 'hn.'Botan couldn't sleep so she went to the room Hiei was in. she didn't expect to find Kurama there. He seemed to be studying the body. He tuned to look at Botan.
Kurama left soon after. Botan stayed. She sat by the bed like she would if hiei was still alive. She cried silently. She wished she could bring him back. She knew it was highly unlikely. She gently touched his cheek and it felt warm. Botan now knew there was a way to get him back. She would have to find a way to break the curse.
The next morning she went to spirit world. She looked through books all day. She was starting to abandon hope. She decided to look through a few more before giving up for the day.
She was looking through her last book of the day and found what she needed. The book was old. The words were faded and hard to read. Botan struggled to read it. It took a few minutes, but she got it.
