A.N. The final match against the Shinobi is about to begin. Take a deep breath, because this is not a fun chapter for our beloved Sakura.

I don't own YYH, just my OCs.

Chapter 10

Tiny Yukina wrapped her arms around Sakura's waist. "Oh Sakura, I can't believe it's you! I've missed you so much!"

Sakura wiped her eyes. "I missed you too. God, it's so good to see you again, but I never expected to see you here of all places. Why the Dark Tournament?"

Yukina lowered her eyes. "It's... complicated,"

"All the way from the Ice World, huh?" Botan beamed. "That's one doozy of a boat ride. Can I assume you came here to cheer on Kuwabara?"

"Yes, and Yusuke and Sakura of course. I still feel so grateful to them for helping me. I've been studying healing powers too. I hoped I could help them some,"

Botan's eyes were misty. "Why aren't you the sweetest thing!"

"But there is another reason I came," Yukina said reluctantly. "The truth is I... have an older brother,"

Botan jumped and looked frantically at Sakura. Oh dear, she didn't find out about Hiei already, did she?!

"But I don't know who he is," Yukina continued, looking hopefully at Sakura. "All I know is that he's a skilled martial artist. I thought this tournament would be the best chance I have at finding him. And so I've been allowed to stay in the human world for a while to look,"

Botan relaxed, but it was taking all Sakura's self control to keep her mouth shut. That being said, she could already feel Hiei was listening in on the conversation and didn't fancy the idea of dying at his hands.

"Is that right?" Shizuru spared Sakura from answering. "Well I'm sure we're all more than happy to help you search. Isn't that right, Botan?" she said pointedly.

Poor Botan looked completely flustered and glanced at Sakura for help. I thought Shizuru knew from the video?

"Don't worry, just play along," Shizuru muttered in Botan's ear.

"It can't be that hard," Keiko piped up. "Do you have any clues? Maybe a picture of him, or a letter?"

"No, nothing at all," Yukina admitted. "But I have this strong feeling that he's very close to me now,"

Botan gripped Sakura's good shoulder. Alright, so the only people who know are Shizuru and me. Oh, and Koenma. And Kurama. And Yusuke. And you Sakura, and Hiei obviously. That's a lot of people! But Keiko deserves to know, right?

You talk, you die. There was only one person that threat could've come from.

Botan clutched her head in despair. Oh, it doesn't help that I'm a blabbermouth and he's a telepath!

Settle down, Botan. We can work this out, ok? Sakura sighed.

Yukina tugged at Sakura's clothes. She was staring at the live feed in horror. "Oh no, it's Kazuma!"

Sakura's heart stopped for a second. In the wake of her reunion with Yukina, she'd completely forgotten about Kuwabara.

"He's not in the ring is he?" Keiko gasped.
