The light showed the room to its true form. And honestly, it wasn't pretty. The walls of granite and spotted with mildew and mold. The floor was damp. Kagome turned her attention to the voices. A girl with bright blue hair was chastising a orange oni. What tickled Kagome the most about the two was the girl was floating above ground on an oar paddle.
"How many times do I have to tell you, scaring new souls is not funny. Go to Koenma-Sama, he'll have a punishment for you." The girl smacked Harold with her paddle again, this time it seemed harder. Harold quickly darted off, his chunky red arms cradling his head. An awkward silence enveloped the room till the girl cleared her throat. She reached inside her pink yukata and pulled out what seemed to be a pamphlet.
"Okay, I'm supposed to go through this with all new souls, so bear with me." The girl turned a page.
"Whatd'ya mean; new soul?" The girl merely giggled and continued, with whatever she was doing.
"Do you remember where you lived?" Silence answered the girl.
"Um, do you have any memories of what happened before you were in this cell?" Kagome shook her head. The girl seemed to panick.
"Home? Birth? Family members? Do you even remeber your name?" Kagome shook her head once again. The girl sighed and floated closer to Kagome. The girl studied Kagome's every feature carefully. A flash of rememberance flickered the girl's features. She grabbed another book from within her yukata. The girl flipped through the pages, fingering pages and muttering under her breath.
"Okay, your name is Kagome," The girl said. A frown creased the girl's face. "But, it doesn't give any other information. Hello Kagome, I am Botan." 'Peony?' Kagome cocked her head to side. 'That'd explain her eye color.' Botan slipped a hand into her sleeve and pulled out a shiny black key. Botan jammed the key into the locks of Kagome's chains. The chains unlocked with a snap and dissapeared with a puff of smoke.
Ugly red lines painted around Kagome's wrists. Botan seemed to notice and gave Kagome a sympathetic look. A sun smile replaced her sympathetic look.
"C'mon, let's get you fixed up," Botan said. She eyed Kagome's skimpy kimono, with pink scrutinizing eyes. "And get you a new kimono. There are plenty of perverts around here." Kagome gave a wry smile and grabbed Botan's extended hand.
With an hour, a new kimono, and bandaged wrists, Kagome and Botan were walking there way through cuticle area. 'Reminds me of The Offiice, except that Michael isn't there.' Kagome mused walking close behind Botan (who was humming a merry tune). There was oni everywhere. A lot of them looked like Harold except, in a variety of pastel. Since Kagome was in Lala Land, she bumped into Botan's back.
"We're here!" Botan grinned pleasurably and made Kagome grin too. In front of the two girls, a door towered over them.
