Chapter 3: Maiden

"Are you really sure this is the right way, Yusuke??" Botan incline herself into the tree due to tiredeness.

"I'm simply following the instruction here at the map." Yusuke respond, giving his best to understand the map.

"You seems trying your best to the understand that Yusuke, but did not, right??" Kuwabara give him the 'I don't believe in you' look.

"Come on guys! It's not easy to find the right place because of this heavy fog." Yusuke find the reasonable reason.

"In other word, we are really lost, right??" Heie respond with smirk and disbelieve in his face.

"I agree with you this time Hiei." - Botan.

Hiei jump into the trees to track their location and find the right way to proceed but end up in disappointed, he cannot see anything because of the heavy fog around them.

"Did you see anything Hiei??" Kuwabara ask.

"Nothing, only fogs" Hiei answered.

"Noooo! It musn't be like this!!! I still wanted to see Yukina!! AHHH!!" Kuwabara seem lost his self.

"Hold yourself Kuwabara, it's not the end yet." Yusuke tried his best to put his friend in calm.

"How I wish Kurama was here, it probably easy for him." Botan seated on a large rock put a hand under her chin.

Heie Yusuke and Kuwabara stare each other by her words. Botan heard a sound of a bell from a certain person it's caught her attention and saw someone walking beside them.

"Someone! Someone is there!! Maybe he could help us." Botan immediately stood up and run through the direction of the person she saw.

"Wait Botan! Don't go away from us!" Yusuke follow Botan but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Where is she??!!" Kuwabara ask.

"Crap! It's not a right time get separated." - Hiei.

"We must find her it's not a safe place." -Yusuke

Botan run faster to catch up the person she saw a while ago but she lost it.

"Hey!! Where are you??! Would you mind help us to find the shrine??" Botan shouted, she look back looking for his friend. " Yusuke?? Kuwabara?? Hiei?? Where are you??" Botan shouted again. "Gosh I think I lost them." Botan heard again the bell and assume that the person she chase before was ready to help them.

"Hey! Please show yourself." She doubts herself to leave the place but the eagerness to find the shrine consumes her, she then again chase the person.

After an hour of running, Botan found herself into the front of an old shrine and she was so surprise.

"WHhhhaaaaaa!! I found the shrine! YUSUKE!!KUWABARA!! HIEI!! WHERE ARE YOU??!! I did found it !! The shrine!!" Botan scream loudly hoping for her friend to find where she is.

"YUSUKE !!! KUWABARA!! HIEI!!" She screams again and again until she was tired.

"Ok!! I'll go by myself and look for a jewel, and after that I'll wait them here." Botan start to make her way into the shrine. When she was in the front on the door of shrine there is something she felt that she cannot explain, it was so warm it was so exciting. Something was odd, it felt that there was something inside that could make her complete.

Her hands were trembling, but still wanted to open the door. Before she could open the door, she heard Yusuke's voice.

"Don't touch it, BOTAN!!!" Yusuke screams so loud. The girl seems surprise, froze from her position and look back where Yusuke was, but it's too late. The door automatically opened and bright light appeared in front of them.

"I found you!." An voice from the light emerge into the place.

Before the light consume Botan, Yusuke run faster and jump in Botan's place grab her from the light.

"Yusuke!!" - Hiei

"Yusuke!! Botan!!"- kuwabara

Both two young man panics from the situation, they follow the two in front of the shrine. The light as it were has a hand, it grabs Yusuke's leeg but before he fall into the floor he threw Botan in his friends.

"Yusuke!!!" Botan shout his name before the light pulled him away inside the shrine.

"YUSUKE!!!!" His friend shouts his name.

Heie tried to open the door but a powerful force tossed him away from the door. Fogs disappeared and a perfect beautiful place showed in their very own eyes.

"We will get you out of there Yusuke!! Just wait us!!" Kuwabara released his spirit sword as well as Hiei widraw his sword. The two of them prepared themselves to attack the shrine to take back their friend but a strong barrier threw them both.

"Hiei!! Kuwabara!!" - Botan.

Yusuke woke up laying into a beautiful cherry blossom garden. He's ache the pain from his head.

"W-where I'am."asking himself. Yusuke stoop up and started to walk around. The place was beautiful and peaceful shrine, Yusuke saw people gathering together to pray and they seems leaving into the peaceful era.

Yusuke attention turns on into certain lady with a beautiful long strand of blue hair. She was always having a beautiful face and eyes, and the lady was familiar to him. She wears a shrine maiden dress, obviously working as priestess in the shrine.

"Bo-botan!!???, Hey Botan!?? What are doing here?? Did I throw you away, right?? Why are here??" He started to walked in front of her, but she seems didn't even notice or see him. "Hey Botan!!".

"It's useless, she will never hear you."

Yusuke jump into his feet when he heared a voice behind him. He slowly turn around to find who's the owner of the voice that familiar to him. He was so shock to sees the same woman he called before.

"W-why there was two Botan here?? What's really happening!! I don't understand!!." Yusuke was so confuse at the situation.

"Who are you, and why you know me?."

"Huh??!! You didn't even know me?? It's me Yusuke." Yusuke answered, she just stare him. "Are you really sure that you are Botan??." Yusuke added. Even though Yusuke didn't doubting her appearance there is something wrong about her..... Eyes... her eyes were sad, sadness and loneliness was obvious in her eye.

"Yes, I'm Botan." Yusuke stare her blankly. "I'm Botan from the past when I'm still alive and human and you are in my forsaken memories." Botan give her a force smile. "Did you want to know me before I died??" She added.

Yusuke jaw drop from what he heard and shock still consume him.
