"She's a wind demon," Botan explained to Yusuke on the roof of his school, "which is even worse for our situation."

"So she's like Jin?" he asked, "I'll just beat her like I beat him."

"No Yusuke," she warned, "a wind demon is really a 'molecular manipulator,' it's just that 'wind demon' is easier to say and classify. Humans called them witches centuries ago. She can materialize anything and teleport with just a snap of her fingers. It's much different than Jin, a wind master."

He stood up and asked, "Well what's going to do with Koenma's dumb clock?"

"If that clock is stopped then time on all three worlds will be stopped forever!" Botan said angrily, "I just told you that a minute ago. Haven't you been paying attention?"

"I got it now," he replied, "you don't have to yell. So where is this Manaka lady?"

Botan explained, "That's most of the problem, we can't locate her at all. We just know she hasn't made it to human world yet. That means you'll have to go to spirit world and try to track her down."

"Urameshi if you keep-oh hey Botan," Kuwabara said as he came onto the roof, "what's going on? Is the world ending again or something?"

She turned to him and replied, "Well actually Kuwabara we could use your help on this one."

"I don't need his help," Yusuke said, "I've got this, so how do we get to spirit world?"

Botan said to Kuwabara, "A wind demon stole spirit world's time clock and if she stops it all time will be stopped forever in all worlds. Manaka can conceal herself but with your spirit awareness we might be able to track her down faster."

He asked, "So you're saying she's in spirit world right now? How are we supposed to get there?"

Yusuke said, "That's what I'm wondering."

"Koenma has stopped all movement between worlds but he has allowed a small portal for you to enter in the side with me," she explained, "we have to hurry. With all of time stopped Manaka could cause havoc in all three worlds and start and stop time whenever she wants." She got out her ore.


Kurama and Hiei watched as Koenma frantically stamped away at papers on his desk and threw them around the room. "Prince Koenma," Kurama said, "it seems something is troubling you more than usual."

"Botan should be back already with Yusuke!" he shouted.

Hiei asked, esaperated, "Would you at least tell us why you forced us to come here?"

"Manaka stole the time clock!" Koenma shouted, "And I have a small portal open for Botan to come back with Yusuke but she isn't here yet! What if Manaka escapes?"

Kurama asked, "You have her trapped here? Where?"

"We don't know!" he shouted.

"We're here Koenma sir!" Botan said happily as she walked through the doors to his office.

"Botan!" he shouted, "About time you got here! Have they been briefed?"

"Yes we're wearing briefs," Yusuke replied, "thanks for asking."

Koenma said, "This is no time for jokes Yusuke. Since you're dealing with a wind demon I had Kurama and Hiei onto this mission. Hopefully this will go better than the Saint Beasts."

Kuwabara asked, "What are you talking about? We defeated them!"

"And you nearly died in the process, that can't be what he's talking about," Hiei replied snidely.

Kurama asked Koenma, "Where is Manaka's last known location?"

Koenma put a map onto the screen behind them and said, "This is a simple map of spirit world, over here is where someone last saw her hours ago but she could be anywhere by now."

"I hope we don't have to fight her," Kuwabara said.

"Wind demons are crafty assholes," Hiei said, "they're worse than fighting foxes. This might not even be worth it."

"What?" Kuwabara asked, "I was just saying she's a girl. What about foxes?" He glanced at Kurama nervously.

Botan said, "This is worth it Hiei and no matter the issues we have with her we have to take her down. Come on, I'll lead the way." She took out her ore again and starting flying.
