Dark Con of Enma : Last Supper

A/N : Okay, it's time for me to get down to business. Keep R&R-ing. I know you want to (bribes with money )

Everyone sat in the living room. George was now drooling on the rug, still passed out. Hiei wasn't exactly comforted about the fact that the demon Arch Bishop had disappeared. Or that onna's mother admitted that there was something going on about Enma.

But what disturbed him the most was how he felt when the ferry onna grabbed his hand. It was strange, a new emotion that had lain dormant for his entire life. The onna smiled at him when she caught him looking at her. He scowled and looked away. What was wrong with him?

Botan sighed as Hiei frowned at her. Was she that bad? Oh well, Botan thought as she turned back to the group. She rolled her mother's words over and over in her head. So Enma did have something secret. Was it true that her mother was the guardian of the heir to the Enma throne? The true God? It was all too overwhelming.

Koenma frowned. Hiei was right. It was the fires of hell that devoured the demon Bishop. That meant that his Dad found out about this entire incident. Koenma felt dirty. What if it was true? No, he wouldn't think that. But, like a little worm, the notion kept squirming in the back of his mind. He heard Hiei walk out of the Temple. Yusuke got up, but Botan stopped him.

"I'll get him."

Yusuke gave the ferry girl an apprehensive look, but then nodded, sitting back down.

"Now what, Koenma?"

Botan hurried out of the temple. The sun was just starting to rise. Botan summoned her oar and flew just below the treetops.

"Hiei!"

Botan could tell that there were demons in the forest. Stupid baka, Botan scolded herself, why did you even volunteer? You've got no chance even against the weakest of demons. Botan shivered but then cheered up a little. I'll always have my trusty oar. And with that, Botan swooped, checking every crevice of the forest.

Hiei heard the baka ferry onna calling out to him. Like hell he was going answer her. Stupid baka. She knows that there are demons in these woods. Then he heard her scream. Oh what did Bo-the baka onna do now?

Botan was doing well with her search until a giant bird flew right at her. She let out a shriek as she fell off her oar. Oh great, now I'm going to be sore after this. No doubt I'll get bruises, Botan pouted as she fell. She closed her eyes tightly, waiting to hit the ground, break a few bones. The collision never came. Botan opened one eye, peeking. Who would–?

Hiei grabbed the baka ferry onna just before she was going to hit the ground. He felt her stiffen, not knowing who had saved her. She turned, eyes wide. He smelled her as he ran back to the temple. She smelled like vanilla.

"Hn. Baka onna."

To Hiei's surprise, Botan didn't frown and yell. Instead she smiled warmly and leaned against his chest.

"Thanks, Hiei."

Hiei felt his cheeks begin to grow hot, but he forced that feeling down. No one cared for the Forbidden Child. No one.

Koenma moaned, his hand over his face. So his Dad knew about the demon Bishop. Now what? It was a good question. Not even the Prince of Hell could answer.

Botan and Hiei arrived at the entrance of Genkai's temple. It was then that Botan realized that Hiei was carrying her bridal style. Trying to keep the blood that was rushing to her head to a minimal, Botan slid out of Hiei's arms. Hiei looked at her, but then his gaze averted to the forest.

"What is it?"

Botan hated how her voice sounded so feeble, but she was nervous. Sure Hiei was quiet, but he looked nervous. Wary. But why?

"It's quiet."

"I thought you liked quiet."

"Not like this."

All at once the birds chirped, but in such a way that it sounded like they were in pain. Animals howled and whined. The skies rumbled as colossal black clouds clashed in the skies. Lightening cracked. Hiei grabbed Botan's hand and pushed the doors open to the temple.

Koenma heard the thunder and when a crack of lightening was heard, Hiei walked into the temple, dragging Botan behind him. Kuwabara (now awake and ready to go) noticed that they were holding hands.

"Whoa, Hiei, making a move on a nigen spirit?"

No one could tell what happened faster, Hiei's hand letting go of Botan's or the threats he spat at Kuwabara. It didn't matter because Kuwabara just snickered. Yusuke frowned. They would have time to make fun of short-stop later. Now it was time for business.

"Is your Dad causing the storm?"

Koenma nodded, a grim expression possessed his face. Hiei sat on the window sill once again, but this time Botan leaned against the wall, next to him. Kurama felt his skin tingle as the earth rumbled beneath them.

"I'm afraid so."

Botan frowned but soon a hopeful smile formed on her face.

"Well, so what, Enma found out? He got the Bishop. Everything is over now, right?"

Koenma opened his mouth, pacifier moved to one side when the house exploded. That's right, exploded. Well, it was the far side of the house, but none the less, debris was flying everywhere. Botan didn't even have time to scream, all she could do was gasp sharply as Hiei scooped her up into his arms. Yusuke grabbed Koenma and Kurama and Kuwabara tried to drag George along with them. So now the Rekai Tentei were stuck in the pouring ran. Botan instantly regretted not changing out of her white nightgown, so she closed her eyes and... poof. Pink kimono. Hiei gave her a weird look, but that was soon interrupted by a load, booming voice.

"KOENMA!"

Yusuke would have laughed at the look on Koenma's face, but unfortunately he had the same expression. Koenma was pale and shivering, his pacifier hanging out of his mouth. His eyes were wide as the clouds opened up to reveal a huge man. He had a scruffy beard and a thick brow that made him look like he was part primate. Botan edged behind Hiei, her hands whispering over his shoulders.

"Yes, Father?"

Instead of scolding and punishing his son, Enma did something that no one expected. He frowned and his eyes searched the team. Then his piercing glare fell on Botan.

With a mighty roar, a giant portal to Rekai opened, swallowing everyone. As Botan fell, she felt two strong arms wrap around her protectively. The first thing that came to her mind was Yusuke, but she was mistaken. The Koorime glared at her as he tightened his hold on her. Hiei had no idea what to expect next, but he would be ready for anything. Everything.
