Notes: This written just for the 31_days theme. Word count: 264.
The garden is quiet in Reikai. Koenma is just as silent, his thoughts, for once, outpacing his mouth. The ferrygirl walking beside him doesn't seem to notice; she is enraptured. This is her first time making it to the center of the maze. She is breathless from all the twists and turns, and now she stands in awe of the multitude of flowers that grow and tangle like a quilt gone awry.
"There is one for every ferry girl that was and that is." Koenma explains when she doesn't ask. She kneels before a purple bed and murmurs in delight when the irises turn towards her attentively. He gazes at them. They are a wondrous sight, a ferry girl and her flower
Koenma starts when he feels something snuffling his ankle. Looking down, he sees a lone peony, frilly and friendly. He wonders, for a moment, how this peony would react to its ferry girl. They are alike: the color of its petals and her eyes.
The peony pulls away suddenly, and stands tall and straight. Koenma realizes that Ayame is coming towards him, irises in her hands, her black eyes calm like the surface of a deep pond. He knows it is time to ask her, just as he'd planned.
The peony stretches for the sky, its stem taut and quivering. Before Koenma can puzzle out what it wants, Ayame plucks it from where it stands and holds it out to him.
Slowly, he reaches out, but he doesn't know if it's for her hand or for the flower she holds in it.

For those not familiar, Botan means "peony" while Ayame means "iris". Seems there's a trend for naming ferrygirls after flowers, thus the garden.
