“Hahaha!
So you’re telling us that this girl didn’t do anything but smile at you and
say ‘Oh!’ Hahaha! That must have been really annoying!” Yusuke was
clutching his belly, his other hand pointing at Kurama while barely able to
speak between laughs. Kuwabara, also sitting beside them was laughing so hard he
almost fell of his seat!
“Haha!
Very funny,” the annoyed Kurama said to his friend in a sarcastic voice,
“Will you stop laughing! I don’t see the point with laughing at me,” he
turned away and sighed, ”I wonder when will I find my match?”
Upon
hearing this, Kuwabara’s expression changed, “Honestly Kurama, do you really
want to meet the girl of your dreams?”
“Well,
I—Whoa!“ Kurama turned upon feeling a hand on his shoulder, “Koenma! What
are you doing here?”
“Did
you come here to visit us?” Kuwabara added, obviously surprised at Koenma’s
arrival.
“We
came here to see all of you,” Koenma answered, his face serious.
“We?
I don’t see anyone with you,” Kuwabara looked past Koenma’s shoulder.
“I
came with Botan. As of now, she’s on an errand.”
It
was Yusuke’s turn to speak, “Don’t tell me you’re here because you
accompanied Botan on her errand! The very busy Koenma Daiou accompanying Botan
on her errand…hmm… now that’s something new,” He looked at Koenma
suspiciously and added, “Is there something going on between you two?”
Koenma
was surprised by the question but was able to recover, “I’m sorry to
disappoint you but my reason for coming here has nothing to do with that. There
is a new mission, and a very important one. There’s no time to waste. We have
to go to the Reikai so I can give you further information,” Koenma answered
“Oh,
so what else is new?”
“How
about Hiei?” Kurama spoke up, “Isn’t he in this too?”
“Hi
guys!” a cheerful voice shouted at them.
They
all looked towards the direction of the voice. There, standing beside the door
was the Reikai ferry girl!
“Botan!”
they all said in unison.
Botan
was looking behind her, with one hand at her back as if pulling something.
Hearing the greeting, she looked at them, smiled, then glanced back at whatever
she was tugging. “It’s nice to see you all…and I’m sure you’ll also be
happy to see who I have with me,” with a great effort, she tugged once more at
the ‘thing’ until it came into view.
“Hiei!!!”
the guys shouted in surprise and then burst out laughing.
There
struggling from Botan’s firm hold on his tunic was Hiei.
“I
guess you did your job well Botan,” Koenma looked at her trying to suppress
his laugh.
Botan
released Hiei who was sending dagger-like glares at her.
