Botan tightened her grip on her oar, feeling cold sweat pour down her back. She shot a brief look at Kuwabara who looked just as freaked out as she was, his eyes fixated on the man on the bed and the ghostly shape that seemed to be trying to escape his flesh.

They could see its gray, strangely shaped face. It looked almost like rock, and to the two it was not as transparent as normal humans saw it. No, it was vaporous and it shape was changing constantly, but it looked as dense and real as any Reikai being.

Botan bit her lip and raised her oar like a baseball bat. Kuwabara called his power to his right hand and formed his Jigen Tō, it's color – a mix of gold and green – creating shadows all around for those who could see it.

Of course, had a normal human looked into the room he would have seen a sick man with an irregular heartbeat, looking like he was having a nightmare, and a young man posed like he was emulating some ancient swordsman, without the sword, in a completely dark room.

"Kuwabara, I hope you know what to do."

"Of course I do!"

He'd been briefed a total of three times already!

Botan swung the oar with all her strength in the sick man's face. The spiritual oar went through without hurting him, but clubbed the alien spirit in its frightening face, forcing it out of the man's body instantly.

Kuwabara had been ready for it and cut through the fabric of dimensions itself, right behind the strange spirit.

It tried to fly away, but another swing of Botan propelled it right into the tear of space time. It closed right behind it.

Both human and spirit let out twin explosive sighs.

"Well, it was easy." Finally said Botan. "When Koenma said that we had to send an alien reiki creature into Reikai I thought it would be much harder!"

"It was freaky though. I hope Reikai can contain it."

"Koenma has a special prison prepared. He's hoping that we'll learn more about other Reikai worlds by studying this thing."

Her eyes fell on the man. She approached him and let her healing reiki flow into him. The man's breathing evened out, and his face slowly regained color.

"He'll go to prison..." Said Kuwabara with a frown. "It's so unfair. He wasn't even conscious of what he was doing."

"He won't be going to prison." Said Botan firmly. "Kurama wants to contact him, and he has the Reikai's support. Tomorrow all traces of the sabotage he committed under the possession will have disappeared, and people will have conveniently forgotten about all that happened."

Kuwabara looked relieved.

Before they left, Botan left a small note in the pocket of the man's trousers. It read "to Lieutenant Colonel Marcus Aurelius Belt, mission commander of NASA", and held the time and date of a mysterious meeting. It was signed "Kurama".
