One sunny day while Yusuke was strolling down the street with Kuwabara, Botan came flying up. She nearly ran him over.

"Yusuke! The weirdest thing just happened to me! I was just minding my own business when suddenly..."

(Flashback)

Botan was sitting on her oar, zooming through the clouds, for once not in a life or death (pardon the pun) situation. She was humming to some obscure rock tune when suddenly, something sped past close enough to spin her.

Now normally, this didn't faze her at all but this time, she was about fifty miles or so in the air and the something that sped past was about half as large as she was.

"What on earth?!" She exclaimed after she had regained her seat. Suddenly, another blur, larger than the last, zoomed past and sent her reeling again. It stopped about twenty yards in front of her, however, and turned around as she clutched at her oar.

It was a young man wearing bright orange khaki pants, a white long-sleeved shirt and a black vest. Pinned to the vest was a high school badge containing an orange star within a circle and having an 'H' in the center. He had short, black hair spiked up with one stubborn lock hanging in his face.

"Excuse me, have you seen a little boy about so tall," he gestured with his hands while hovering there, "fly this way?" He seemed to be unfazed by the fact that he was facing a girl with long blue hair in a high ponytail, wearing a pink kimono and sitting on a floating oar.

Botan silently pointed in the direction that the smaller blur was heading. The young man grinned, "Thanks!" he turned to leave "Oh, by the way, my name is Gohan." He waved and flew off.

(Flashback end)

"...And that's what happened. It was really strange, though. I've never come across anything like it in all of my traveling, although I've heard rumors of flying mortals..."

Yusuke leaned against a convenient building, hands in his pockets, "I've heard of him. He's supposed to be really kooky; you know, jumping up to the second floor of the high school from the ground, pretty much a genius on just about anything written in a book. There's also a rumor that he was in the Cell Games years ago. I'm not really surprised that he can fly."

"Oh, really?" Botan put a finger to her chin in thought. "Well, I'll have a talk with Koenma about this; I just remembered that he mentioned something about an odd man that's died more than once... Anyways, I'll get this straightened out."

She sighed, "I wonder if he has a girlfriend, though; he was really cute!" she put her hands to her blushing face.

Yusuke and Kuwabara promptly face-faulted.

"Well, gotta run. See you guys later!" Botan called as she zoomed off to the Spirit World.

"You saw WHAT?!" Koenma shouted in surprise, almost falling out of his chair.

"I saw two mortals flying through the air, nearly right beside me." Botan explained again seriously.

"Can you describe what they looked like?" He asked curiously. She complied and he stood on his desk in thought, "Hmm.... that younger one sounded almost exactly like Goku. They must be his relatives."

"Who?" Botan blinked in confusion.

"Goku. My father has had many dealings with him in the past. He's actually a close friend of Kami's."

"Really? I don't remember anything about a Goku, though. He isn't in any of my books."

"I'm not surprised, he isn't originally from the earth either. Plus, his family is a special case." Koenma turned around with his hands behind his back, waiting for Botan to take the bait.

"Really?"

"Yes, they've saved the Earth more than once."

"Oh! Then I've definitely got to get that Gohan boy's number!" Botan giggled and spun around in a circle.

Koenma sweatdropped and sighed gustily, "Why me?"
