"Kurama call off the plant. She's not gonna kill any one." Once the plant stopped attacking she dragged Botan, who had lost consciousness for reasons unknown, into the house. Once she was set on the couch Shizuru went into the kitchen to get a moist towel.
When she got back into the living room Kurama was glaring at her unconscious friend. "Why would you bring her here? She could kill us. And you invited her to live with us!" Setting the moist towel on Botan's forehead she turned and scowled at him. "She's running from the son of god and her father. She isn't about to kill anyone."
He gave her an unconvinced look and she gave an irritated sigh, "Do you know why she passed out?" "No." "Because her father just found out she wasn't in the temple." They exchanged glares until he gave up, "What ever. But Hiei isn't going to like this. I'll try to stop the plants from attacking her, but I promise nothing." He left the room, and a couple minutes later Botan woke up.
"I have to get out of here Shizuru!" The tall brunette sighed and shook her head, "Now Botan I've talked to Kurama. He'll leave you be as long as you don't got throwing your white magic everywhere." Botan shook her head, "No, you don't understand. It's HIM, he's coming. If he finds me, we're all dead." She jumped off the couch and ran out the front door, passing Kurama and a second demon, presumably Hiei; she reached the edge of the yard before Shizuru called out to her.
"Botan what the hell! Kurama, grab her before she gets away!" Kurama ran after her and grabbed her arm, "Let go! You don't understand I have to get out of here! He's followed me! Let go!" She tried to wretch her arm out of his grasp, but he was too strong.
"Botan, WHO followed you?" Botan zapped Kurama, causing him to let go of her in surprise, and she turned and ran. Shizuru swore and kicked the side of the house. Botan had been surrounded by a white light and sped away. There's was no way to catch her now. Not unless you were a holy being.
Hiei looked at both of his room mates, one kicking the house, and the other nursing a burnt hand, and he sighed, "I'm not even gonna ask."
Botan didn't stop running until she reached the run-down temple of the slums; she had to lead him away from Shizuru. She burst into the temple and saw Genkai running towards her, "He's coming to get me! You have to help me Genkai!" "Who...Oh dear lord, he's come."
Genkai grabbed her arm and dragged her into a room on the left, "Get your weapons Botan. You're going to have to kill him this time." Botan grabbed a fan and a large sword off a shelf and nodded to Genkai. "Yes. This time I will have to kill Saiyam. My poor brother..."
She ran out of the temple, with Genkai following her, and headed for the swirling red powers of her brother. He had stopped following her, and was waiting for her. She found him holding a dead child. "Botan, you see what happens when you aren't there to help dear old dad? He lets me come kill children." Botan felt nauseous just looking at the poor child, another life she had stolen.
Sure, her brother had killed the child, but he would still be locked up if she hadn't left the ritzy temple for the slums. "Saiyam, you don't have to do this!" He threw the body to the side and charged her, with a bloody sword by his side.
She dodged his fist and started running, she couldn't do it. No matter how evil he was, he was still her brother. And she couldn't hurt him. She didn't see him coming at her until his sword came in contact with her left leg. She crashed into the ground and rolled out of the way as he tried to strike her again, "Saiyam, listen to me! I want to help you! I want to free you from father! But you have to stop!"
She held her sword up to block his attacks, "Oh but sister dearest, I love being under father's command. I get to murder; I get to hand you over to the son of god for crucifixion!" Botan narrowed her eyes at him and jumped up, ignoring the pain in her injured leg. She swung her sword at him, but he blocked, "I will not be crucified!"
Shizuru felt a surge of two similar energies and gasped, "Fuck. That's who she was talking about. I have to help her!" She jumped off the porch and ran in the direction of the energy, with her two confused and curious room mates following her. They could tell it was a fight, and heck, they loved fights.
Shizuru showed up as Saiyam punched Botan in the back, cracking her spine. Botan stumbled forward and her body glowed white for a second, before her spine snapped back into place. "Saiyam, stop this please!" She dodged his sword, but got kicked in the stomach. She flew back and crashed into a pole from the force of the kick.
Hiei and Kurama showed up when she slammed into the pole, and watched in amazement as she stood up, and threw her sword to the side, "Please brother! Look, no weapons! I won't kill you!" Saiyam chuckled darkly at his sister, "Well it's no fun that you won't fight back. But if that's how you want to die, as a coward, then so be it!" He picked up a car and threw it at her.
It slammed into the upper half of her body, and there was three sound, echoing, cracks, her back, her neck, and her skull. Again a white light surrounded her and she stood up, uninjured. "Please Saiyam! Stop this!" Shizuru, having had enough of seeing Botan having the shit beaten out of her, grabbed the discarded sword and charged Saiyam, "Botan! He's not going to stop this time! Just kill him!"
Saiyam turned his gaze to Shizuru, a twisted smirk worked its way onto his face and he charged at her. Botan watched in horror as Saiyam tried to punch Shizuru. She ran in between them as his fist was about to connect with Shizuru's head and caught it with one hand.
Her eyes were glowing pink, she crushed his fist in her hand and punched his gut with the other hand, crushing his ribs into his heart and killing him instantly.
She let go of his hand and withdrew her fist, horrified by what she'd just done. "SAIYAM! No!" she tried to heal her brother but Shizuru grabbed her arms and held her back. Genkai walked over to the girls, and when she saw the tears rolling down Botan's face, she embraced the girl. Botan submitted to the embrace and let her tears fall freely.
Hiei and Kurama were still confused as hell. Shizuru walked over to them since Genkai had taken over controlling the sobbing mass that was Botan. "Well, that settles it. She's staying with us, and that's final." She turned and walked back to Botan, who had calmed down the teeniest little bit, "Oh, and she's staying in Hiei's room. She is not allowed out of your sight until she gets over this, got it Hiei?"
Hiei narrowed his eyes at her, "Why does she have to stay in my room!" She rolled her eyes at him, although he couldn't see it because she wasn't facing them, "Because, Kurama's plants don't like her, and her white magic is going to be outta whack for while." Hiei growled, he hated the thought of sharing his room with some emotionally distraught woman he didn't even know.
Shizuru, Genkai, Hiei and Kurama watched as she stopped crying, and white light surrounded her body again, but it didn't vanish after a second like before. No, it kept growing until she screamed. "Noooo!" Botan lashed out, still surrounded by the bright light, which only continued to grow in size, and she punched the ground.
To every one's shock, and amazement, it resulted in a quick, powerful, earthquake. Botan turned her head sharply to the East, a deadly glint in her eyes, "I'm coming for you father." Her voice was cracked, vicious and filled to the brim with hate, but Shizuru could not help pitying her poor friend.
The blinding light that had surrounded her vanished completely, leaving a slightly taller, blue haired, pink eyed, and scowling Botan standing in the middle of the street. "Botan? Are you okay?" The blue haired Botan turned her gaze on Shizuru, recognized her, and smiled calmly. "I'm fine Shizuru."
Genkai closed her eyes and shook her head softly, "Lord have mercy on the priest." She knew this was the beginning of the end for her and her father. One would be victorious, and the other, well, they wouldn't see the sunrise upon the world anymore.
Botan fell over, unconscious, and Shizuru made Hiei carry her back to the house. Genkai followed as well, knowing they'd need a little help controlling Botan for the next few days while she grieved.
