Yusuke was ditching class once again and waiting on the school's rooftop. The difference this time was the fact that he wasn't bored, he was anxious. He wished Botan would hurry up so she could tell him more about the vampires he wanted revenge on, and he wasn't alone.
When Yusuke told Kuwabara about what happened to Keiko, he was furious that anyone would try and attack a girl. His sense of chivalry mandated that he join Yusuke after the "cowardly chicken-shits" and teach them a lesson. With all the trouble the stronger vampire gave Yusuke, so for once he was glad to have back-up. But with his eyes trained on the horizon, he neglected to notice that someone else was on the roof with them.
"My Yusuke, you seriously need to learn how to pay more attention," Botan said from behind him. Yusuke twirled around in surprise.
"How the hell did you get up here?" Yusuke asked.
"I took the stairs silly," she replied. "Hi Kuwabara."
"Well hello there pretty lady," Kuwabara said, stepping closer to her.
"Oh. Hello Kuwabara," Botan said with indifference as she subconsciously took a step away from him.
"Alright," Yusuke said. "Now that you're here, can we get down to business?"
"Right," Botan said. "I'll finish telling you about vampires before you blew me off for Keiko yesterday. Speaking of which, how is she doing?"
"She seemed okay when I walked with her this morning," Yusuke said. "Just a little shaken up. I'm going to walk her home once school lets out."
"OOo," Kuwabara said tauntingly.
"Shut up," Yusuke said, putting Kuwabara in a headlock.
"Boys..." Botan said, rolling her eyes. She waited a minute for them to break up. "Can we move on now?"
"Sure thing, cutie," Kuwabara said, giving her his full attention.
"OOo," Yusuke said.
"Shut up, Urameshi," Kuwabara said, this time putting Yusuke in the headlock.
"Oh why do I even bother," Botan said, shaking her head in frustration.
"Because I'm the only spirit detective you got," Yusuke said, breaking away from Kuwabara's hold.
"If only it were true..." Botan said under her breath.
"What?" Yusuke asked.
"Oh nothing! Where was I?" Botan asked pensively.
"Well," Yusuke said. "You were just about to explain what kind of powers these vampires have."
"Right. Well, as I told you before, vampires drink people's blood to gain spirit energy. Most of the energy leaves their system after a few hours, but some of it stays forever. After awhile, they can become dangerously strong."
"So that's why one of them was a lot stronger than the others," Yusuke said.
"Right," Botan said. "That also means the longer it takes for you to find them, the stronger they'll all get."
"They won't be able to hide from me," Kuwabara said. "I can sense strong spiritual energy a mile away, literally."
"The same goes for them," Botan said. "That's why they were drawn to you, Yusuke. Along with increased strength their spiritual awareness increases too. It makes it easier to find good targets."
"Great," Yusuke said. "Between the two of us we should light up like a Christmas tree. Let's go Kuwabara."
"You won't find them now!" Botan said, annoyed of their impatience. "Its daylight right now. They attack at night so there aren't that many witnesses."
"You mean I have to sit here and do nothing until nightfall!" Yusuke yelled. "That blows!"
"Well unlike you, they're actually smart and plan things out," Botan retorted.
"Whatever," Yusuke said. "Come on, Kuwabara. Let's go."
"Bye Botan," Kuwabara said while giving her a creepy smile.
Botan glared at both of them as the passed her.
"Stupid boys," she said.
