Prologue:

Botan flew slowly on her oar back to Reikai. Koenma called her just as she was about to visit Yusuke and the others. She sighed and guided herself to the familiar palace that had been her home for centuries. Botan stopped in front of the gates and walked inside, her oar disappeared when she willed it so. She walked up countless floors and staircases, never getting lost. Finally, she came to the right door.

It was directly in front of her. She just stared at it. Something told her that what she would hear in there was going to change her life, in a good way or bad she could not tell.

Slowly, cautiously, she opened the door. "Koenma-sama, you wanted to see me?" she asked as she stepped inside.

"Ahh, yes, Botan. You're here." He spoke quietly, still in his toddler form.

"Yes, you called me. What did you wish to speak about?"

"Botan, you know that there will be a new tournament coming up, right?"

"Yes… What about it?" Botan questioned uncertainly.

"I need you to fight in it."

"What?!"

------------------------

"Hey! Urameshi! Do we have a new mission yet?!"

"Shut-up, Kuwabara! People might hear you!"

"Hn, stupid fool."

"Be quiet, you shrimp! I could take you down any day!"

"Hiei, try not to make him yell even more."

Four boys walked down the street slowly, all beside each other. The first one had gelled black hair and brown eyes. He was known as Yusuke. He carried a smirk on his face. The next one was tall and had orange hair. He was glaring at the person beside him who had spiked black hair and crimson eyes. He was glaring back. Kuwabara and Hiei. Finally, the last man had long red hair and emerald green eyes. He was called Shuuichi by most, but his true name was Kurama.

No one could've possible guessed that more than half of these men were demons. (Well, two were half, anyway.)

That is, until a girl with blue hair flew up to them.

Yes, flew.

"Hello, boys!" she greeted happily before she was abruptly pulled away by them and pushed into an alley.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, Botan?! People could've seen you!" Yusuke shouted. Botan giggled.

"I know, silly, but I have this neat little charm that makes me invisible to whoever doesn't need to see me! It's called a-"

"Why are you here, Onna?"

"Oh, yes, there's a tournament coming up soon in Makai. Koenma wants you to join! You have to have six team members. Koenma already has one, but you need to find the other one!" Botan explained, trying to look happy. 'How am I suppose to tell them that I'm the fighter?…'

"I need you to fight in it."

"What?!" Botan exclaimed.

"You have extraordinary power. I believe that, with some training, you will be able to harness it." Koenma stated.

"But won't the guys be able to sense me?" Botan questioned, hoping that maybe- just maybe- she would be able to get out of this.

"That's why you're taking this pill every four hours. It will mask over your scent and Spirit Energy. That way, Kurama –or any other animal spirit- won't be able to smell you, and no strong demon will be able to sense you." Koenma stated as he held up a small round white pill.

"But what if I forget?"

"Then, you're screwed."

'Geez, thanks, Koenma. I love you too.' Botan thought bitterly as her hand clenched at her sides.

"Hey, Botan? Botan, are you feeling ok?" Yusuke asked, looking slightly worried.

"Oh, yes! I'm fine!" Botan said happily while masking over her anger with a smile. Unfortunately, someone noticed her anger.

'What is she hiding from us?…'

------------------------

"NO! Hit it harder!"

"I'm hitting it as hard as I can!" Botan yelled as she punched the bag again. She was sweating profusely and breathing hard.

"Then hit it harder!" Her trainer shouted.

Suddenly, her anger came forth. She punched the bag hard with her right fist. Before she knew it the bag was on the floor a few feet in front of her, the sand spilling out of the hole in the middle. Botan stared in shock at the, now broken, punching bag that was in front of her.

Did she do that? "Did I do that?"

"That's better! Take a break now. In one hour we'll do something different." The trainer, known as Mitsuko, told her with a smile. Botan nodded and walked out of the large room. She wiped the sweat from her face and sighed deeply.

'How am I going to explain to the guys it's me… if they find out I really am Botan when I'm supposed to be a guy, Koenma will kill me!' she cried in her head. 'Oh, yeah… I have to pick out a name…'she thought. 'Hmmm…' she walked down the halls idly.

'Namu… nah, too small…'

'George? No, it sounds too old…'

'Bob? Eww… I won't even go there… how'd that get in my head anyway?'

'What about Tenshi?' she could find nothing wrong with that name. Suddenly, she hit something, which snapped her out of her mindless daze. She looked over to see it was Kurama; they had hit each other's shoulders when they passed.

"Oh, Hello, Kurama! Why are you in Spirit World?" Botan asked, carefully masking over her thoughts with a smile.

"I just wished to speak with Koenma about the next tournament. I wanted to see if I could find any information on the new member that he found. He didn't give me much." Kurama said with a smile of his own. Botan nearly froze. What did he tell Kurama?

"Well, what did you find?" She asked.

"He has blue hair and green eyes-" 'Green eyes? I guess I'll have to wear contacts…' "He's supposed to be very strong too. But, Koenma didn't tell me his name." 'Oh, thank Kami… I just came up with a good one too!' "Botan? Botan, are you there?" Kurama spoke softly as he waved a hand before her eyes.

"Oh, sorry! I was just trying to remember the name Koenma told me yesterday…" Botan lied. She hated lying to her friend, but she had better get used to it. She'd be lying to all of them in about two months. "Oh, yes! His name is Tenshi!" Botan said happily, as though she was remembering something.

"Well, that's good to know." Kurama stated happily with a smile of his own.

"Did he tell you anything else?" Botan asked carefully.

"Yes, he did. He told me that Tenshi is a Weather Dragon. On of the last few, of course." Kurama said with a small smile. Botan nearly froze.

"Well, good-bye, Botan. I have to go."

"Oh, ok… Good-bye, Kurama." Botan offered weakly. Only one thought raced through her mind as Kurama walked away from her.

'A W-Weather D-D-DRAGON?!?!?!'

------------------------

"KOENMA-SAMA!"

Papers flew from his desk and scattered the room.

"WHAT IS IT?!"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I WAS A WEATHER DRAGON?!" Botan shouted, even over him. Outside, lightning struck as her anger grew.

"Calm down, Botan. I was merely waiting for the right ti- wait! HOW DO YOU KNOW?!" he shouted, surprised that she would find out.

"So you could tell Kurama, but not me?! The one who actually is the Weather Dragon?!" Botan cried angrily. Thunder rolled over the clouds from the recent lightning attack.

"Kurama told you?!"

"Well, he didn't know that the person he was talking about was me!"

Koenma sighs and leans back in his big chair. "Ok, I guess I should tell you."

"Tell me what?"

"The reason I want you in this fight."
