“BOTAANN!!!”
The
shout echoed throughout the whole Reikai palace.
“Ouch!”
Botan mumbled as she picked herself up from the floor where she landed after she
was dislodged from her seat.
“I
wonder what Koenma-sama wants this time,” she grumbled as she walked on the
corridor leading to Koenma’s office. She opened the door and there in front of
her sat Koenma in his ‘adult version’, examining and signing his
ever-present stack of documents.
Botan
waited for Koenma to acknowledge her presence, but clearly, he didn’t notice
that she was already there. She sighed exasperatedly and then announced herself,
“I’m here Koenma-sama.”
“Botan!
You’re finally here.”
“You
mean you finally noticed that I’m here. What’s happening to you Koenma-sama?
I’ve been standing here for ten minutes and you never looked up once from
those papers. Didn’t you even feel that someone entered your office? What if
someone else sneaked into your office and--”
“Would
you stop for a while Botan!” Koenma cut her off and Botan stopped in
midsentence, bit her lips and blushed
“Okay,
I’m sorry if I didn’t notice you right away,” Koenma looked at her and
noticed her cheeks turning red with embarrassment, “I’m also sorry for
shouting at you,” he smiled at her.
“I’m
also sorry. I don’t have any right to nag you like that. I was just thinking
that if I were another person, something else might have happened to you,” she
looked at him in the eye.
“That’s
okay, I know that you’re quite annoyed. Anyway, I appreciate your concern.”
Koenma looked back at her as her face reddened once more.
“So,
what were you supposed to ask from me Koenma-sama?”
“Well, I wanted to ask you to go with me to Ningenkai. I found out about something important and we have to inform the Reikai tantei all about it.”
“I
guess this is very serious matter huh?”
“Yeah.”
“Well
what are we waiting for?”
“What
do you mean?” Koenma looked at her inquiringly.
Botan
raised an eyebrow at him, “Koenma-sama, if this information is really
important, we should locate Yusuke and the other as soon as possible right?’
“Oh, right,” he said as he regained his composure, “Let’s go!”
