Botan stood in front of two boxes, clutching a tissue to her chest. She had never bothered to use it, but Koenma had handed it to her the minute her purple eyes filled with tears. They were dead. The people she had learned to call `mother' and `father' were dead. Botan closed her eyes as the memory came back to her.

=-=-=-=-=

"Mom? Dad?" Botan called, stepping inside the small house.

She frowned. `They're probably not home yet.' She shrugged, and walked into the kitchen to fix herself something to eat. She suddenly stopped. There, on the floor of the kitchen, lay her mother and father. Two knives were portruding out of their chests. But the worst of all were their eyes. They were still open, and terror and panic still swirled about in the now empty depths.

"Mom?" she asked shakily, knowing that they were dead, but it still made her feel safe. "Dad?"

She just stood there, not knowing what to do. Finally Botan screamed. Anguish, pain, sadness, and loneliness filled the room. "No!" she dropped to her knees, and with a shaking hand, tears pouring down her face, reached out to her father's face.

=-=-=-=-=

Botan stood there, and then with a shake of her head, came back to reality. The only thing worse than living your worst moment in life once was having to live through it again. She shook her head, hoping to clear the memory, but no use. Her adopted parent's eyes still haunted her vision, and her anguished scream still echoed through her head.

"Botan?" Koenma asked, coming up behind her. "Are you okay?"

Botan snapped out of her daze, and the eyes disappeared. She turned around to face Koenma, in his teenage form. "Oh. Yeah. I'm.. I'm fine." she said, wiping her tears off with the tissue he had given her eariler. "I'm fine." she repeated, not so much as to convince him, but to attempt to convince herself that she was fine.

"Okay. You looked wierd there for a second.." Koenma said. He then spotted George waving to him across the room. "What does he want now?" Koenma sighed. "Excuse me."

Botan nodded, and turned back to the two coffins. She had requested that they remain shut, so that she couldn't see their eyes. They still hanuted her dreams, they still haunted her visions. Botan shivered. `They were empty and cold.. It's like they died an extremely painful death without realizing they were dead..' She sighed. `I have to leave this place..'

=-=-=-=-=

I walked outside, trying to rid the image of my dead parents out of my mind. They wouldn't stop haunting my mind. Suddenly I remembered, and my head snapped up. I have to take them to.. Spirit World.. I lifted my hand up to my mouth. I can't do that.. I can't live through it once more.. I'll die..

=-=-=-=-=

Botan summoned her oar as she realized what she had to do. Two glowing orbs floated high above the funeral home, and Botan jumped on her oar and followed them up. She didn't want to say goodbye, but she figured that they deserved to see her one last time.. and she deserved to see them.

I was planning on ending it there, but I'm thinking about adding some more after this.. Maybe adding more chapters, or just simply adding it to this chapter. Don't forget to review, and if you want reviews, read my other story thing I have posted! ^-^ Thanks for reading!
