Koenma-sama had called her to his office. He had done this many times before, but she still had butterflies in her stomach.

She arrived at the door. Taking a deep breath, she went in....

"SURPRISE!"

Botan jumped back in shock. Everyone was there, smiling and carrying presents. Even Hiei had a forced grin on his face.

"Botan-san, a present for your six-thousandth year as a Rei Kai Ferry Girl," Keiko announced as she shoved a package in Botan's arms. The others followed her example.

"Well?" Yukina giggled. "What are you waiting for?"

Botan was completely dumbfounded. Dazed, she slowly opened the first gift. It was a packet of purple hair dye.

"I figured you need a color change. Or perhaps some highlights." said Shizuru. "If you need help, you can always come to my hair salon!"

"Always looking to earn some extra money, sis." Kuwabara muttered softly.

"And since when have you become so smart, dear brother?" Shizuru's voice dripped with sarcasm, and had a dangerous edge to it.

"Gee thanks." Botan interupted before a major brother-sister fight could occur. Shizuru gave her one of her rare smiles.

Botan made a mental note to shove the gift into the darkest reaches of her closet. She put it to the side and reached for the next one.

"You like it?" Kuwabara asked.

"Uh...."

"It's a jet pack for your boat paddle thingy!" he exclaimed.

"It's called an oar , " Yusuke said, rolling his eyes.

"Whatever," snapped Kuwabara. He focused his attention back to Botan. "Here, lemme show you how it works.." He grabbed Hiei and promptly tied Botan's present to him.

"Let me go, you !@#$%^&@!!" Hiei screamed. Kuwabara grinned evily and flicked a switch on the jet pack.

"RRRVROOMM!!!!!"

Hiei shot up like a rocket.

"SMASH!"

Koenma winced and shook his head. "Dad's going to have a fit over that hole in the roof." he said.

Botan felt a sweatdrop form on the back of her head.

 "A Hunks of 1998 wall calendar?" Botan asked.

Yusuke grinned cheekily. "Now you don't need a boyfriend!" he proclaimed cheerfully. With difficulty, he read from the back cover of the calendar. "Twelve full-color lifesized photographs of the winners of the Mr. Universe contest. Gorgeous tanned babes you can drool over for the 365 days of the year! Buy the Hunks of 1998 wall calendar today!"

"Ah, ha, ha, ha," Botan laughed nervously.

 Botan smiled and thanked Yukina for her present, a snow globe. She then opened Keiko's present.

How very considerate; it was a blue kimono. She placed it on the growing pile of presents.

Kurama bowed and handed her a bouquet of roses. "For you," he murmured.

Botan blushed. "Arigato."

"One last present," she thought. She tore the flimsy wrapping paper off to reveal- a beautiful turquoise ring.

"Oh this is wonderful!" she exclaimed. "Thank you Koenma-sama!"

Koenma looked puzzled. "I didn't give that to you."

Botan turned to the rest of the group. They shook their heads and looked at Hiei expectantly. He glared back at them.

"Hiei-san, did you really give this to me?" Botan inquired. Hiei gave a grunt of consent in reply.

"Oh thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" Botan hugged the little youkai and kissed him on the cheek.

Hiei was in hysterics. "AAHHHH!!! GET OFF OF ME!" he shrieked. "EEEEWWWWW!!!!!! YUCKKK!!!!" Koenma ambled over to examine the ring.

"Funny," he mused. "It looks a lot like the one in the Rei Kai Treasure Room."

Yusuke's eyes narrowed in suspicion. He seized Hiei, who was screaming bloody murder, and turned him upside down. Gold, jewelry, and all other sorts of treasure tumbled like rain from the folds of Hiei's cloak.

Koenma turned purple with rage.

"Hiei, you-" he hissed.

 Botan sighed. What a party.

YuChan:(turns to the YuYu gang) So, any questions?

Botan: You gave away my real age! I'm never ever going to forgive you!

Hiei: You made that blue haired ditz hug me and kiss me. (points to Botan and grimaces) Don't expect me to show up in any of your fanfics ever again.

Koenma: You forget to put my gift into the story! I hope you end up in the Meikai when you die!

(The trio stomps away)

YuCh an: What did I do? (does a starry eyed, awfully adorable look) Hey wait a minute.....where's Yusuke?

Kurama: Keiko dragged him to school. Shouldn't you be going too?

YuChan:(leaning back in chair) Nah. I still got an hour to go.....(glances at watch) OHMIGOSH! IT's Ten 'o clock!! I'm three hours late! (grabs bookbag and shoves a piece of toast into her mouth)

[Door slams] BANG!!

Kurama: Just your typical Monday morning.....

Yukina: Please send all comments to YuChan at AkaneT@aol.com (smiles at Kurama) Would you like some cookies, Kurama-san? I made them myself.

Kurama: That would be very nice Yukina. By the way, you remembered to put sugar in this time, right?

Yukina: (looks blankly at Kurama) Sugar? What's sugar?

Kurama: Ah...hm. Did you remember eggs?

Yukina: Eggs?

Kurama: How 'bout milk?

Yukina: Milk? (confused)

Kurama: Yukina, did you even bake the cookies?

Yukina: You're supposed to bake them?

Kurama: (softly) This have got to be some heck of a cookie.
