Chapter 2 Sorry it took so long.
Botan slowly walked threw the forest of the spirit world on her way to see Koenma to get her new assignment. She was going to have to look after a new Spirit Detective. She stared at the ground and remembered the big fight that she had with Yusuke was that the last time she was going to see any of them? All the good times began to flow her head and then the bad.
Botan was so caught up in thought that she didn't here the demons that slowly began to gather around her in the shadows. She stopped at the sound of a growled. She slowly turned around to see a wolf like demon growling at her. His eyes glowing red and drool dripping from his mouth and hitting the ground. She swallowed as she heard another sound from in front of her. She turned to see another one.
She quickly pulled out her oak as they ran towards her. She flew into the air and let out a sigh of relieve at seeing them not able to reach her. She watched as they barked and howled at them. She stuck her tongue out at them.
All of a sudden a bird demon flew at her. She quickly dodged its attack but fell off her oak in the process. She fell back down into the forest hitting braches as she went. She hit the ground hard and groaned as she slowly tried to sit up. Pain shot threw the left side of her body. She winced and leaned against a tree. She sighed and closed her eyes.
What was with all the demons? There was never this many before not at this time of day. She opened her eyes at the sound of growling. It was the same wolf demon as before. She tensed up against the tree. It ran towards her and she covered her face waiting for the pain.
But it never came. She heard a puppy like whimper and opened one eye to see the wolf demon on his back dead. She looked up to see a young man. His back to her. He had some what baggy black pants with red strips going down the sides and a black beater showing off all his muscles.
"What is a pretty girl like yourself doing out here?" He asked as he turned to face her. His voice was deep and a little huskily. He had big dark blood red eyes that would be easily mistaken as hazel. His hair was black and a little spiky. He had two red stands of hair coming down in front of his face. He had one little K9 tooth that suck out over his button lip.
He also had a dragon like tattoo going up his arm that reminds her of Hiei and a small earring in his left ear that where like elf ears. It was save to say that he wasn't human. Well duh why would a human be in the sprit world? But he did look like he did have some kind of human blood in him. He put out his hand to help her up. She took it and he brought her to her feet.
"O.k. then. You don't have to answer that. It's none of my business anyways. But you can at lease give me your name." He said rapping one arm around her waist. Botan blushed at the contact.
"I'm Botan." She said. He grinned at her.
"A beautiful name for a beautiful woman." She blushed again and he stepped back. "Well I'm Riku Urahara. It's a pleasure to meet you. "He said taking her hand and kissing it. He was a really flirt. Botan felt her face turn red for the third time.
"Like wise." She said taking her hand back. She began to dust herself off. She felt his eyes on her and began to fell uncomfortable. She looked back up at him. "Hey thanks for saving me. I would have been dog food with out you." She said with a smile. He looked puzzled.
"What's a dog?" He asked. She stared at him for a minute before giggling. "What's so funny?" She asked crossing his arms and raising an eye brow.
"Nothing. You just make the cutes face when you puzzled. "She said. He blinked a few times before he smirked again.
"Why thank you. So what's a dog seriously?" He said.
"It's an animal that lives on earth. Most humans keep them as pets." She explained. She saw his ears twitch and his face grew serious and she began to think that he said something wrong. He turned around and scanned the area.
"Where not alone anymore BB. So stay close." He said. BB? That wasn't her name. She was just about to say something when more of those wolf demons came out of the shadows. He balled up his fist and the caught on fire. She took a few steps back. He was a Fire demon. She watched as they ran towards him. He began to fight them.
Botan watched as the last one ran with his tail on fire. Riku sighed and turned back to Botan. His fist steaming but no longer on fire.
"I'm sorry about that are you o.k. BB?" He asked. She nodded her head. Then he grinned. "I hope you don't mind the nick name I gave you." He said putting his hands on his hips.
"No I don't mind but what does it mean?" she asked. His grin turned into a smirk.
"Beautiful Botan of course." He said. She blushed again before quickly picking up her oar from the ground. She turned to him.
"That's nice. But I really have to be somewhere." She said. She saw the disappointment flash threw his eyes and he frowned. "But I'm sure will see each other again some day." She said. He nodded and removed his hands from his hips. "Thanks again." She said getting on her oar. He smirked.
"No problem. Take care of you self BB." He said. She smiled and nodded. She fell off into the sky. She looked back at him and seen him disappear into the shadows of the forest. She looked head.
"Riku Urahara." She smiled.
Botan quickly entered Koenma's office and shut the door. He looked up and smiled.
"Oh there you are Botan. I thought you were dead for sure." He said. She sweat dropped and sat down.
"Thanks for showing that you are." She said. He got a good look at her and his face grew serious.
"You were attacked in the forest weren't you?" He asked. She nodded and he sighed. "There has been a lot of demon actively going on here lately. I don't have a real good feeling about it. I was thinking of sending Urameshi and his gang to check it out." He said.
She frowned at the mention of his name. "That sounds like a great idea Koenma I'm sure he'll get it done." She said with smile. He nodded his eyes focused on the paper on his desk. Then he looked up at her.
"Thinking of that I almost forgot why I sent for you. I have found a new Spirit Detective. I know that Urameshi can't handle it all by his self. Now don't be alarmed he is have demon and half human. He is truly gifted." He said.
Botan nodded her head and sat up a little to hear more of this new Detective. Koenma laughed and looked back at her.
"He might be more skilled then Urameshi. He is around 5'11 and is around 17 years old. He's a good kid." He said and looked at his watch. "I sent for him not to long again he should be on his way." He said and looked back at her with a smile. "I think you'll like him." He said. She nodded again. "How about you go get cleaned up before he comes." She got up and walked out.
After getting cleaned up Botan walked back into the office. She stopped at seeing a man in all black her chin dropped as he turned around.
"What are you doing here?" She asked as he smirked and placed his hands on his hips.
"You said we sound see each other again but I didn't think you met so soon BB." He said. She smiled. Koenma jumped on to his desk.
"This is great you guys already no each other!" He said. Riku turned back to him.
"Yeah. I saved her in the forest today. There was all there wolf like demons out there. The forest is getting worst. You should really send some one to control that. Before someone gets hurt." He said becoming more serious. Koenma nodded.
"I was thinking about sending Urameshi to check it out." He said rubbing his chin in thought. Riku raised an eyebrow at the name.
"Only one of my best detectives." Koenma proudly.
"I also worked for him. He's a great guy." Botan said with a smile. Riku didn't smile. He stared at her with a blank stare. "What?" She asked.
"He hurt you." He said as if he was there when it happened. Botan blink a few times. How did he even no that. "I was born with the gift to read people's emotion and I could hear the pain in your voice." He said. She looked down at the ground.
"Well that's in the past now. I don't think I'll ever see him again. So it's o.k. now." He said looking back up at him. She smiled. He still didn't smile but nodded. He turned back to Koenma and grinned.
"So what's my first mission?" He asked.
Yusuke walked down the street with his hands in his pocket. He stared blankly at the side walk. It has been whole month scents Botan feel and never came back. Maybe Shizuru was right maybe he did go to far and that she wasn't going to come back.
He sighed and stared up at the dark star felled sky. He stopped walking and stood there was people walked pass. Was he ever going to see Botan again?
"Well what do we have here?" He looked to see Shizuru walking towards him. Her hands in her pockets and a lit cigarette in her mouth. He smiled at her as she stopped in front of him. She looked up to see what he was looking at. "Why are you staring up at the sky in the mid of a sidewalk?" She asked and looked back at him. He shrugged.
"I was just thinking." He said as he began to walk she walked along side him.
"About Botan?" She asked. His eyes narrowed and he kept them glued to the ground.
"Why would I be thinking of her?" he mumbled so low she could hardly hear him. She looked at him and sighed before looking back head. She stopped walking and turned to him. He stopped as well and turned to her.
"When well you stop being so stubborn Yusuke. It's clear that you miss her. We all do. The gang is in complete without her. So why don't you stop being lazy and go get her." She said.
"I'm not being lazy! If she really wanted to come back she would on her own!" He snapped at her causing some people to stop walking and stare. Shizuru stared at him as well her face never changing. She rolled her eyes.
"Did you every think that maybe she wants you to go after her. To show that you care and that you do need her." She said.
"We don't need her that's why! It's not like we have had any missions anyways. Where doing just fine with out her." He said. Before he new it she grabbed him up by his collar and pulled him close. With her free hand she removed her cigarette and threw it to the ground. Her eyes where cold and dark.
"Now you listen to me Yusuke." She said her voice deep and cold. "If you don't get out of this little mood you are in I will kick your little butt back to the spirit world to get Botan. You have changed scents she left and Keiko doesn't like it. So it's either you go get her or you change you little attitude." She said and pushed him back.
They stared at each other before she pulled out another cigarette and put it in her mouth. She looked back at him "I'll see you later." She said and began to walk down the sidewalk again. Yusuke watched her go before staring off and walking the other away.
