Chapter One
Yusuke Urameshi walked down a cracked sidewalk with a brown briefcase tucked underneath one arm. He wore his usual green jump suit, kind of as a rebellion to school,
for as part of the uniform codes, you had to wear navy blue, not green, though by now the school had gotten used to Yusukes green. His black hair was gelled back so that
it stayed out of his face while giving him a more 'tough' appearance. He was on his was to school; over the years his friend Keiko Yukimura had convinced Yusuke to go to
school more and more. The sun shone down upon Yusuke's back as Yusuke thought about his last mission. It wasn't a big deal, all he had had to do was catch a demon
who had taken over the body of a local shop-owner. It took him and Kurama an afternoon to find and catch the demon; Kuwabara had been on a vacation with his older
sister Shizuru and Hiei had been no where to be found. Yusuke thought of past missions - harder missions - and yearned for another mission like the ones of his past. He
knew why the missions weren't as big as they used to be; after the dark tournament, not many demons dared to enter earth. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei were
just too good, and they all knew it. Sighing, Yusuke looked at the watch on his right wrist to find that he still had a good 10 minutes to get to the school that was only 2
blocks away, plenty of time to get there and get to class with a few minutes left to talk with Keiko.
"Yusuke!" a familiar voice hissed from an alley way. Yusuke looked around quickly to make sure no one was watching before ducking off the sidewalk and into the
shadows of the alley in which the voice had come. He would never have time to talk with Keiko now, but he was sure that his friend would understand. Before him stood a
girl with sky blue hair and pink eyes. She was wearing her usual pink kimono and had what appeared to be a canoe paddle in her left hand.
"What is it Botan?" Yusuke asked the girl. Botan smiled slightly and replied, "I have to talk with everyone. Go to Kuwabara's house after school. I've already
contacted the others." and with that said, she sat on her paddle and flew away. Puzzled, Yusuke looked around once again to make sure no one was watching before
stepping out of the alley and continueing his walk to school. 'It's odd, she normally explains what she wants before taking off like that. Probably another case, maybe a big
one.' Yusuke thought to himself as he stepped upon the school grounds. A few people backed away, still slightly scared of Yusuke despite his efforts to be a little kinder to
his peers. Though others stood their grounds and smiled as Yusuke as he walked by. But Yusuke stared ahead not really seeing anything, deep in his own thoughts.
Yusuke stepped in the school and made his way to his homeroom class. Once there, her found he still had two minutes before the bell was going to ring for classes to
start. He dropped his brown school brief case on the desk he usually sat at.
"Kuwabara," Yusuke started as his friend walked into the room Kazuma Kuwabara, more commonly know as just Kuwabara, turned his head to listen,
"Botan told you right?" Yusuke said cautiously making sure no one was listening. Even though most of his classmates, with the exception of Kurama, Keiko, and
Kuwabara, didn't know who Botan was, they were still very careful to make sure they didn't say too much in public.
"Yeah, Botan told me last night," Kuwabara told Yusuke as Keiko walked into the room.
"Botan told you what?" Keiko asked her two friends. Yusuke grabbed her hand and pulled her closer, whispering in her ear, he said,
"Just that we are meeting her after school." He indicated himself, Kuwabara, and to Kurama who entered the classroom behind Keiko. Keiko nodded her head and
sat as the desk in front of Yusuke's.
The students sat down at their desks as the bell rang issuing classes to start.
~ ^ * ^ ~
The bells rang and the students filed out of their classroons, some headed to their fourth period class and some headed towards the lunchroom. In the lunchroom,
Yusuke Urameshi met up with Keiko and Kuwabara before the headed over to their usual table, Kurama was already there waiting. As the three sat down, Kurama asked,
"So we meet a Kuwabara's place after school, yes?" Yusuke nodded his head and bit into an apple.
"Am I needed?" Keiko asked her friends. Since she hadn't been contacted by Botan she wasn't sure.
"I don't think you're needed but you can come!" Kuwabara replied. Keiko smiled and began to eat her sandwich.
"I think Shizuru will want to come also..." Kuwabara added, though no one was really listening to him. Pouting, her began to eat his lunch and they ate in silence
for a while, each in their own thoughts.
"Do you know what it is about?" Keiko asked breaking the silence.
Kurama shook his head, "She didn't say...which is highly unusual."
"Oh..."
~ ^ * ^ ~
"Where is Botan!?" Yusuke asked with annoyance in his voice. School had gotten out 30 minutes ago, and it was then that Hiei had joined them. Yusuke,
Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Keiko had all walked to Kuwabara's place where his older sister, Shizuru, had met them. When they told Shizuru of the meeting with Botan,
Shizuru was immediatly interested. So the six of them waited in Kuwabara's living room, wondering what suprise Koenma wanted Botan to deliver to them this time.
"Calm down Yusuke. Botan said 'after school some time', she didn't give a specific time!" Keiko said trying to calm her friends nerves. Sighing, Yusuke sat down
once again, he knew Keiko was right yet he still hated the waiting. There was a knock on the door and Shizuru got up to open it. When the door was opened, it revealed
Botan who stood there with a huge smile on her face.
"Sorry we're late, we just ran into a little bit of trouble," Botan said as she stepped inside.
"Excuse me, but who is 'we'?" Yusuke asked. Botan stepped aside to reveal a hooded figure behind her.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that I didn't tell you earlier. This is..." Botan began but was interuppted.
"I appreciate the help, but I can introduce myself," the hooded peson said and flung the cloak off. Before them stood a girl who looked to be about the age of
Yusuke and his friends.
"My name is Faith Takana," the girl said. Yusuke and the others looked her up and down. She had long curly red hair that fell to her mid-back, a few locks rested
on her shoulders indicating that she had layered hair. Her eyes were a bright blue that twinkled when the light hit them. She was skinny, but you could easily see that she
was very strong. Despite her beauty, she looked more like a rough and tough kind of person, the kind of person that Yusuke and Kuwabara used to be and still slightly are.
And for all they could tell, she was a human.
"Um...Botan? What does she have to do with us? And when is our next mission?" Yusuke asked turning his attention back to the spirit world messanger. Botan's
smile decreased in size as she glanced from Yusuke to Faith then back to Yusuke.
"Well this is just it! I have come to talk to you about a mission...well a couple actually and your 'team' of detectives. I though it was obvious..." Botan said.
Faith sighed inwardly, she wanted to be away from here...even back from where she just came from...the dead
Please not that I made everyone the same age - that means that Kuramais now in the same grade as the others. It was done for the sole purpose of this story. Plase Enjoy!
