Dark Con of Enma : Corrupted Bishop

A/N: Ooo the drama. Well, this will raise a few eye brows won't it? Ha, ha. Anyway, please review. If you really hate it, tell me. If you really love it, tell me. It's all good in the hood. So, in this chapter... well... you'll see.

Everyone's eyes were glued on the television. Staring intensely at the man dressed in glorious white robes. Yusuke looked at Botan with a raised eyebrow.

"Who is this bozo, Botan?'

Botan rolled her eyes,but then remembered that this was Yusuke that she was fretting over. She returned her lavender eyes to the screen. There stood a man in white robes, a large hat on the top of his head. The Arch Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church. Otherwise known as the Vatican. She closed her eyes. This didn't make sense.

"It's the Arch Bishop of the Vatican."

Koenma lowered his gaze to the floor. Kurama wove his red hair through his fingers. Hiei snorted and folded his arms across his chest as he leaned against the wall. His red eyes met Koenma's.

"Who cares? He's just a puny nigen."

"He's a demon, Hiei. You're wrong."

Everyone was hanging onto the words that left the Prince's mouth. A voice suddenly broke through the silence.

"I know the truth, Lord Enma. I know about your lie. Your scam. In fact, that is the perfect way to put it. Your scam, your con, on everyone. Not just mankind, the stupid nigens. Rekai and even the Makai are under your illusion. But not for long. I'll find the real angel. The real holy man. I'll find the true heir to the throne that you and your son contaminate. You are not holy men. Soon, the real Lord will be brought to light."

"Koenma...? What does he mean? This demon posing as the Arch Bishop?"

Kurama spoke softly when the taped stopped, the television letting hissing with static. The entire room fell silent. Botan felt her breathing slow. Then her body was overcome with an icy chill. She felt the fluttering again, like something was trying to get out, to break free. Her eyes watered in fear.

Yusuke whipped around to Botan, his demon instincts telling him that something was coming. Kurama bristled noticeably and Hiei unsheathed his katana. At this, Koenma jumped onto his desk.

"Hiei, please, put the sword away!"

Hiei did not obey the request. Botan shuddered and then stopped trembling. It was over. She sighed with relief and sank to the floor. Yusuke was at her side instantly.

"Botan! Are alright?"

Botan heard them yelling. She blinked lazily. She felt like she hadn't slept for her entire life, and the sand man was calling to her now. She wanted to rest. She needed to rest. Yusuke was shaking her. She wanted to tell him to stop. Then, she felt herself being pressed up against the wall. Her small body was weak even when she was fully awake and aware. Now she was completely helpless.

"Hiei, let her go!"

It was Koenma who was screeching at the Koorime. Hiei wasn't listening. The hairs on the back of his neck and arms were standing on end. He didn't like it. Hiei was not the type to be easily intimidated. The onna was holding something within her. A secret just dying to get out. Scratching its way to the surface. If he was still the murderous demon that he once was, he would have cut her open right there.

"Hiei!"

The fox pulled Hiei off of Botan, making sure that his katana didn't cut her skin. Hiei allowed the contact only because it was Kurama. Koenma was having trouble breathing as he ran as the to his top ferry girl. Botan let three tears fall from her closed eyes.

Yusuke pressed Hiei to the floor.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Hiei glared at the ex-spirit detective.

"Don't tell me you couldn't feel that... whatever it was coming off of the onna!"

Yusuke hesitated and then slowly backed away from the Koorime. He sat on the floor, shoulders hunched over and his face in a classic Yusuke frown. Kurama was gently gathering Botan into his arms as Koenma guided him to the desk.

"We need to find this priest, find him before he finds us, or Botan."

Kuwabara (yeah he stayed quiet for a while, huh?) finally spoke up.

"What does she have to do with this? Just what is going on here?"

Koenma sighed, almost losing his pacifier in the process.

"Botan, she may have nothing to do with this mess. Just, just make sure that the Arch Bishop doesn't get, doesn't hurt her."

Yusuke looked down. Koenma really did love her, in a platonic sense, of course. Hiei looked at the ferry onna. She stirred in her sleep.

"Go to Genkai's temple for now. Once we get information you'll be notified immediately."

Yusuke nodded as Koenma opened the portal to Ningenkai. Each of the members, except Hiei, looked at each other and then at Botan.

"Hiei, you carry Botan."

"Nani?"

Kurama nudged Hiei, who was glaring at Yusuke, but then shifted to the snickering Kuwabara. He fell silent as Hiei almost slaughtered him with those blood red eyes of his. Hiei mumbled something about how he was surrounded by bakas as he picked the onna up. Her blue hair tickled his nose. He squinted as he fought the urge to sneeze.

Botan woke up in a very comfortable bed. Wait a minute. Bed? She jolted awake, adrenalin pumping through her body. Then she recognized the walls. The scent of peace.

Genkai's temple.

Botan was scared. Terrified even. She had no idea what was going on. Not only with herself, but with the bishop. A part of her didn't want to know, but the other part, the frightening part, yearned to find out the demon Arch Bishop's plans. What Lord Enma's secret supposedly was.

"You've got some explaining to do, onna."
