Botan walked down the street of Aurora, Colorado, rain fell over her, encircling the blue haired girl in an Aura of blue. Like music the water dropped on the roofs in beat with Botan's footsteps, ping pong click ping pong click ping pong click. People looked through the windows at this strange young girl. She wore her kimono and had her blue hair down. The rain started to fall faster. Botan stopped walking and looked up at the sky, letting the rain wash all the sorrow off her face. Click, click, click. The sound echoed off of the walls, as Botan started to walk again.

Flash back

Koenma sat at his desk talking to Ayame when Botan walked into the room. Koenma looked at the door and saw Botan standing there. He blushed and told Ayame to be quiet. Botan walked up to the desk and bowed, she stayed bowed, as if afraid of something. Koenma smiled sweetly and dismissed Ayame.

"What do you need?" He asked.

Botan looked up at the teenage form of the prince. "I want to know if I could.... Well, quit my job as grim reaper so I could...... well, get married." Botan looked up at Koenma, expecting to see a happy face, but instead she saw the face of a shocked enraged man,

"GET MARRIED, TO WHOM!?!" Koenma burst out.

Botan cowered back in fear, "To the guy I was arranged to marry." She said timidly.

Koenma calmed down a bit at the site of Botan. "It's not up to me. Ask my father." He said, knowing how much Botan was afraid of King Yama.

Botan looked up at Koenma with tears in her eyes, "If I don't listen to my fathers wish then he will murder me!" She said running out of the room and getting on her oar with a one way ticket to America.

End Flash back

Botan looked around at the houses; this was where she would stay. She could never go back to Japan, or her father would kill her and King Yama would cause chaos. There was nothing else to do. A child was looking out of one of the houses, its windows were big and the child looked so small. Botan smiled, remembering what it was like to be that age, to be loved by your parents, to be loved by anyone. A tear ran down the grim reapers cheek, camouflaged by the rain.

Click, click, click. There was another set of footsteps behind Botan. But being too enwrapped with her thoughts Botan hardly seemed to notice, or just didn't care. Why did Koenma care so much about her getting married? If she did then he would get rid of the female grim reaper and get her brother, Alex. All these thoughts ran through her mind, like on a spinning wheel, getting faster and faster until Botan could no longer handle it, and she collapsed to her knees.

Yukina kneeled next to Botan and smiled a very sweet smile. Botan looked up at the girl and tried to smile, but it just wouldn't come.

"Why do you run away?" Yukina asked, helping Botan up.

Botan looked at Yukina confused. "How did you get here? And what do you mean? Run from what?"

Yukina shrugged off the first question. "Run from your problems. From your father, and Koenma, and Yama, why even try to run? If you run then your problems will just follow."

Botan sighed at the girl's philosophy. "I can't face them. My father is strong, Yama's even stronger, and Koenma is just there. I can't go back."

"Yes you can. You wouldn't have to face them alone, you know. Kurama, Hiei (maybe), Yusuke, and I will help you. I promise."
