Author's Note: Thank you to the readers that reviewed. They really do encourage me. At least now I know I have not posted this story for naught. And yet again, another chapter. Chapter 3 will be posted shortly.


Yu Yu Hakusho: Magical Girl Special Flower Bloom!
Chapter II: Sweet Surprise Special! Beautiful Heroines Rise Up!

"Oh, Botan-chan, why did you call all of us here today?" Keiko wondered as she sipped some of her green tea.

"Yeah, I thought it was the boys' job to take on assignments," Shizuru grumbled as she puffed some smoke out near the window. "Why is Koenma-sama sending us a tape?"

"Oh, this isn't from Koenma-sama," Botan smiled sheepishly as she inserted the tape into the VCR. She accepted Yukina's offer of tea while seating comfortably by her friends. "Actually, George-san is the one who sent this, so Keiko-chan can see this too."

Right then, George's face appeared on the screen.

"Good afternoon, ladies," George greeted politely, sitting in a large armchair. "As you may be wondering right now is why I have arranged you to come together and to watch this tape. Well, the reason is quite simple" The blue ogre suddenly fell to his knees and begged, "I am in desperate need of your help!"

The girls each gave the television a nervous smile.

"Koenma-sama believes that women are less capable than men, but I highly disagree. And because of my disagreement, Koenma-sama has set up a wager to determine which gender is better. I am here right now to ask you of your help to defeat the Spirit Detectives. They have already made their decision and have agreed with Koenma-sama. Please send your responses through Botan. And if you agree to assist me in Koenma-sama's defeat, Botan will give you your morphing devices."

The screen went black.

"So, what do you girls think?" Botan inquired with a playful smile, quickly finishing her drink. Her face was beaming with delight and amusement. "Are the three of you going to help George with his bet? I've already agreed."

"But to fight against Yusuke and the others," Keiko mumbled doubtfully. The human girl sighed heavily at the thought. "How are we supposed to go against them, Botan-chan?"

"Yes, the Detectives' strengths are a quite formidable power," Yukina muttered shyly in agreement. "Even in the Demon World it is rare to find anyone with as much power as them."

"Oh, we'll be compensated for it," Botan grinned, waving off her friends' worries. The ferry girl was nearly bouncing off the walls in excitement and anticipation. "You just have to agree or not if you want to help."

"I'm up for it," Shizuru shrugged. She tossed her cigarette out the open window. "I don't know about you girls, but knowing that my brother is strutting around thinking he's superior because he's a guy just really ticks me off. I think that boy needs to be put in his place."

"Well, I guess I'll help," Keiko sighed, joining the ranks. "Yusuke is already unmanageable as it is. I would hate dealing him with a bigger head than he already has."

"And I will assist as well," Yukina smiled. "It will be interesting to be as powerful as the Spirit Detectives, even if it is just for a moment."

"Great!" Botan cheered, lunging eagerly into her bag. "And for your consent, George sends us these marvelous gifts!" From her bag, Botan presented four glossy compacts, each one colored differently. The excited ferry girl tossed Keiko the yellow device, Yukina the white one, and Shizuru the red one. The pink compact Botan kept for herself.

"What are these things?" Keiko wondered as she opened her compact. Instead of seeing make-up, the human girl observed a yellow jewel in the shape of a flower (a peony to be exact), a mirror on the opposite interior. The design was the same for the other three compacts, but their flowers were a white apricot blossom, a pink rose, and a red salvia.

"These," Botan giggled, "are our morphing devices George mentioned earlier. It's with these we're going to stand a chance against the guys."

While observing her new trinket, Shizuru asked, "So how do these things work exactly?"

Holding her compact in the air and above her head, Botan smiled, "You hold it up and say, 'Magical Girl Special Flower Bloom!' Make sure you say it clearly and happily or else it won't work."

"What won't work?" Yukina wondered innocently.

"You'll see."
