"Botan, we've got a new person for you to pick up" A toddler in violet blue told a tall slender girl with blue hair high in a pony tail. Her light pink eyes watched him shuffle through the piles of papers on the desk before the amber eyed child "New person? Lord Koenma, you normaly stay out of stuff that has to do with me picking up souls" The child, Lord Koenma, picked up a paper with a picture on it and held it up to the girl in pink "Yes well Botan, in this case the method of death and what it was that died caught my attention"
Botan plucked the paper from his hands and looked at it, then quickly looked up in shock "Another untimed death?" "Yes," Koenma sighed "she died to protect another" The reaper looked at the baby "Like Yusuke?" She asked. Koenma shufled through more papers "Just like Yusuke, only by a bullet and for some one she personaly knew" "Oh, dear," Botan held a hand to her mouth in thought "what did you mean by "what died"?"
Koenma jumped on his table and pointed to something on the paper "You see how it says "human"?" He asked Botan "Yes of course" "Well," Koenma grabbed a paper from next to him "I did some more digging, turns out she is like Kurama and is holding a demon within her, only she doesn't know" "Wait! It would take more then a mesily bullet to kill a demon" The blue haired girl protested "Ya, but, she didn't know she was a demon, that and she got shot in the heart"
"In the heart!?! Oh my, that poor girl" Botan said "Yes sad indeed, but I was thinking, the demon within her is part Siren, the other part is unknown, and we are in need of a spirit detective who can with stand the charms of female demons and can help subdue roudy male demons, ( (\('o')/) bloop) and the part that is unknown could help in the investigations. The file says that, even in her very restricted human form, she has a desent amount of spiritual energy, a bit under Kuwabara's level. Imagine what her energy level will be after she learns to fully control it" Koenma said as the blue pacifier bobbed up and down in his mouth
"Wow, so you want me to actually bring her in like I did with Yusuke?" Botan asked her lord "Yep thats basically it, call in Yusuke and the gang while your at it so she can meet her new co-workers" Koenma waved his chubby baby hand, telling her she could leave
Botan was now at the site of where the spirit was supposed to be, that was when she saw it. The spirit hung in the air, not far away. Botan sped toward it on her oar, but then the spirit decended to the road, and she lost it. Botan floated over the area that it dissappeared in and saw it sitting next to it's body and a human girl
The spirit's brown eyes watched the scene before her with a heavy heart. A tall, slender, mexican american girl sat next to the her body. "Stephanie....." The spirit sighed "Vanessa! Vanessa! Wake up Vanessa! Please wake up! Please!.......... Vanessa..........." The girl yelled at the spirit's body, she punched the concrete sidewalk with tears in her eyes. "Vanessa............" The body Stephanie was talking to had a hole on it's cheast in the left breast, it's now dead eyes where covered by the semi-curly brown hair of the spirit's former self. "Stephanie............ I'm sorry............." The spirit reached out to the girl but her fingers past through Stephanie's arm
Botan floated down to the spirit, the spirit was over whelmed by emotion and she did the only thing she could do. Tears started to flow out of the spirit's eyes as she started to sing
"What I thought wasn't mine
In the light
Wasn't one of a kind,
A precious pearl
When I wanted to cry
I couldn't cause I
Wasn't allowed
Gomenasai for everything
Gomenasai, I know I let you down
Gomenasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
What I thought wasn't all
So innocent
Was a delicate doll
Of porcelain
When I wanted to call you
And ask you for help
I stopped myself
Gomenasai for everything
Gomenasai, I know I let you down
Gomenasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
What I thought was a dream
A mirage
Was as real as it seemed
A privilege
When I wanted to tell you
I made a mistake
I walked away
Gomenasai, for everything
Gomenasai, Gomenasai,
Gomenasai,
I never needed a friend,
Like I do now
Gomenasai, I let you down
Gomenasai, Gomenasai,
Gomenasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now "
Botan stared at the spirit, the song she had just sung was so full of sorrow and dispare, it moved her to the point where tears of awe and simpathy. "I'm sorry, my sister" The spirit turned and saw the blue haired grim reaper and jumped back "Ahh," She looked up and glared "Who are you?" "I am Botan, guide to the Spirit World. I take the spirits of the deceased to Spirit World" Botan held out her hand and the spirit took it with a sad smile "Vanessa, nice to meet you. Guess I'm on your next trip, hu?" "Guess so" Botan smiled
"Woah....." Vanessa as she held tight to Botan's oar, they now where flying over the pastel colored spirit world "It's beautiful!" "Yes I know. Now you must be prepared for anything, even demons!" Botan warned the wondered girl "Demons? What harm could they be?" Vanessa asked "Well they are strong you know!" The reaper fixed her pink eyes ahead.
"Well here we are!" Botan said and hovered to the ground. Vanessa let go and Botan jumped off her oar, which the dissappeared. Botan knocked on the large blue door infrount of them. It looked to be about 30 feet tall and an indigo blue color. Vanessa's brown eyes watched the door open wide after Botan had talked to some one over an intercom. "Well ain't that pleasent" She said sarcasticaly
The dou now walked down a long dark coridor that strangly smelled like tomatoes. "Botan, why does it smell like tomatoes?" The brunette asked "That's easy, we had a tomatoe festival here last week. I know every every thing about Spirit World! Like the red hooks on celing" Botan pointed the celing "They are for scarring people and hidden cameras in some! Now come on we're almost there!" Botan said and pointed to another large indigo door a few feet away. When they reached it, Botan knocks on it and says "Me, Botan again, let us in" and the door started to swing open "Be prepared" Botan warned "For wha........?" Vanessa trailed off at the site
Ogres of every color ran around shouting and screaming, some where on phones, some carried papers but almost all where running. "I have one question Botan" The girl turned to her companion "Yes?" "Why do they all have no shirts?" Botan looked at the running ogres and smiled sheepishly "I don't know" "What!? But I thought you said-" "Well better get going! Don't want to keep Koenma waiting!" The reaper grabbed the girls hand and drug her off to a new door, thsi door was alot smaller and salmon pink. "We're comming in now" Botan said to the door and it opened
The room had marble flooring and seafoam green tiled walls. The celing was a royal blue tile, in the middle of the room was a golden topped desk with a red velvet chair. In said chair was a small child about 2 with brown hair and amber eyes. Said child wore clothes of a violet blue and pink material. He wore a large hat with a "JR" in the pink and a large red symbol in the violet blue. He looked Vanessa up and down "Hello Vanessa Brinkman, I am Koenma, ruler of the Spirit World. These are my Spirit Detectives, introduce yourselves boys!" Koenma told the four other people in the room, which the girl had failed to notice
A large stupid looking guy in blue walked over to the spirit and said "Kuzuma Kuwabara, nice to meet you little lady" "Hi," The girl said and coughed "Creep" as his orange haired form walked away Another guy walked up, he wore green ( (\(' o')/) bloop) had brown eyes and slicked back hair "I'm Yusuke Urameshi, leader of the group" "Hello" She said simply "I am Kurama, pleasure to meet you" A tall man, not as tall as the first, with long red hair and sparkling eyes bowed infront of the spirit "Nice to meet you to Kurama" The spirit bowed "That over there is Hiei, he isn't really the talkitive type, I hope you understand" Kurama said and nodded in the direction of a man about her own size. He was dressed in a black cloak and white scarf, his jet black hair stood straight in the air and had a squigle of white near the middle. His eyes struck the spirit most, they where a deep crimson. "Yes I can understand"
"Anyway on with buisnis. Vanessa, have you hear of demons?" Koenma asked the girl "Oh no, you'll have to expain" She said in a very sarcastic voice "Don't use that tone with me missy! I could have you sent away right now!" Koenma jumped on the desk and pointed at her "So?" She asked "Koenma sir, you might want to calm down and explain to her" Botan tried to calm him down "No, I don't feel like dealing with this girl right now so I will just let the demon out!" Koenma yelled and flew off the table. He flew over to the spirit and touched her forehead. The spirit's form wavered and then vanished in a puff of smoke. When a new form reappeared in her place. Rasing the pale arms in a streatch a smooth female voice said "Ahhhh, thanks Koenma it feels good to be out" I smirked "Free after 15 cursed years"
