"Well guys I have to go. I need to get some spirits today. I'll be back later. Bye!" The ferry girl with blue hair yelled back and waved to her friends. Her friends waved back.
"Bye Botan! See ya later!" Yusuke yelled back as the ferry girl mounted her oar and changed into her spirit form…or so she thought.
As Botan's form changed all of a sudden she got stuck. She couldn't move for about a minute.
"Well that was odd. That's never happened to me before." Botan said. She checked herself to make sure everything was okay only to find that there was no oar beneath her but she still remained in the air.
"What is going on? Can I suddenly fly now?" Botan yelled. She looked down and saw the group talking. Well everyone was talking except Hiei but that was expected of him. He never was the social type.
"Why hello! Who are you?" A cheery voice asked form behind Botan. Botan turned around to find a girl about the age of 7 floating in the air along with a girl who looked to be about 17.
"I'm Botan. Who are you?" Botan asked, trying to keep calm.
"Well I'm Cheery and this is Jennifer. She's been here a long time." The girl named Cheery said.
"Just where is 'here'?" Botan asked a little frightened.
"'Here' is the in between world. There aren't anymore than us three now. This world is where you get stuck turning into a spirit and something goes wrong. You can't talk to anyone outside this world. You can go into each world but you can neither touch nor speak to anyone or anything. I have been here for 5 years and cheery has been here for 1 year." The girl named Jennifer said dully.
"Don't you get bored?" Botan asked.
"Yes and lonely but in the end you get used to it. I was alone for 4 years. Well it looks like you are going to lose all you friends for good now. I lost all mine." Jennifer said dully.
"How did you two end up here?" Botan asked Cheery.
"We died and as we were turning into spirits something went wrong and we got stuck. Well it's good now that you're here!" Cheery said sweetly.
"Why is it good now that I'm here?" Botan asked uncertainly.
"Because now I won't be as bored." Cheery said.
"I want out of here. I am going to get us out of here." Botan said with a fist in the air.
"Good luck with that fairy." Jennifer said sarcastically.
"My name is Botan." Botan said trying to not get angry.
"Whatever fairy. I'm going to the demon world." Jennifer said and disappeared.
"Don't worry about her. She'll be back sooner or later. I can always find her. Anyways, moving on from Jennifer, how did you end up here?" Cheery asked.
"I was trying to turn into my spirit body so that I could go ferry some people to heaven and then go turn into my human body and visit my friends." Botan said simply.
"You can turn human even after you are dead?" Cheery asked amazed.
"Well no….and yes. You see I have a human body and can visit humans but I'm not human I'm a spirit." Botan said.
"Okay…I don't really understand but whatever. How do you plan on getting us out of here?" Cheery asked.
"Well I don't really know. Let's go visit Koenma so that I can think. Visiting him helps me think about things." Botan said.
"Who's Koenma?" Cheery asked.
"Koenma is the prince of Spirit world. You can hear people talk right?" Botan asked.
"Yes you can it's just I don't visit spirit world very much. Well let's go!" Cheery said. Both girls disappeared to go to visit Koenma.
I know I know. Very short first chapter. I'm just trying to get back into the groove of writing. Well R&R
