A/N: Hey there! I am so sorry for not updating any sooner! I have been very
busy lately since the new school year's gonna start soon and with some
other stuff that I had to do. I mean, I don't even have the time to do what
I want anymore. This summer I planned to write fanfiction and draw anime
(original or fanart), instead of working and writing some other stuff that
I don't really enjoy writing that much. But I still love fanfics! ^^ But
anyway, I'm finally here with another chapter to Nightmares Do Come True!
^^ And before I forget, I must thank for all of those who reviewed! I
appreciated it! Also, in this story, everything here will be a bit
different. Just to let you know b/c in this story, a few characters might
not be in here nor will the Shikon no Tama and a lil bit of this, Botan
will be related to Koenma, as in: they'll be siblings! And also, I'm not
really sure what time the school starts there in Japan. This will be kind
of in the Alternate Universe type of genre I think b/c of how this story
will be placed. But I would still want you to read it, if you would please.
^^ So read on, enjoy and don't forget to review! ^^
Disclaimer: I've said this way to many times. If you read the prologue and the previous chaps, you would know what I would say.
p.s: oh yeah! Koenma might not have his pacifier..maybe he will or maybe he might..just wait and see..^^ and Botan will be like 15 years old here and Koenma a year older and I'm sad to say that he doesn't have the word "Jr." written on his forehead, and well, they'll be like normal teenagers, hopefully.. I'm talking way too much here, so I'm gonna stop. ^_^

*CHAPTER THREE: BOTAN DAIOH
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Centuries had passed and the myth of vampires had ceased. No one believed in them anymore. The only thought that came to mind about vampires were only figments of the imagination, make-believe creatures used to scare small children. Anything from werewolves to mummies, some people would argue to others that these monsters do exist and that they've actually seen them. Some would think that they went crazy because of all this nonsense. All in all, there were many that didn't believe while only a few who did.
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
As the red sun slowly rose from the horizon, its first rays of light stretched across the land of Japan until it had reached the now modern Tokyo. Life in the late 1600s seemed to be more peaceful than how it is now. Horses that were once used everyday as transportation and other needs have been replaced with cars or tractors. Candles that were used as light for the dark back then has also been replaced, but with light-bulbs and electricity. Many things have been replaced with new technology. But there were a few things and places that hadn't changed throughout the years. What was once a peaceful town a long time ago has now changed into a modernized city.
The sun had risen higher now and people were starting to stir out of sleep. The bright rays had made its way into a dark room, lightening it with its light. Within the room, a single ray shined its way to the face of a young girl. Her magenta-colored eyes opened slowly; she rubbed her eyes so that she could get used to the light and looked up at the ceiling. She rose from her bed and sat there for a few minutes. The young girl turned her head and saw the clock that was on the wall across from her. It was six o' clock.
"Ugh.." she moaned. "Today is the first day of high school. How wonderful.." she rolled her eyes and went back to sleep. But her sleep didn't last long, because two minutes later a loud knock came from her door.
"Botan!" a voice yelled from the other side. "Botan, get up! School's going to start soon. So get up!"
Botan got up again slowly and answered the speaker. "I'm up, Koenma!"
"Well, then hurry up! We're going to be late!" After saying this, Koenma left and went downstairs.
"School... Why do I even have to go?" she asked herself then got up from her bed to get ready for the first day of school.
* * *
At the breakfast table, a teenage boy with short, brown hair and brown eyes was already sitting down in his chair eating his breakfast for the day. After he poured the milk into his cereal bowl, Botan came walking in already wearing her new uniform for school.
"Finally you're here," he said to his sister. "What took so long?"
"Well, excuse me for being late, Koenma," she started. "But I didn't feel like going out today. And besides, it's only breakfast."
Koenma didn't respond, but kept on eating his breakfast.
Botan walked over to the refrigerator in the kitchen and peered inside. "Koenma!" she yelled.
"What?"
"Did you drink all of the milk again?" she asked while she was looking for the milk.
"The milk is over here, you baka."
"Did you just call me a 'baka'?"
"Yes."
Botan closed the refrigerator, not getting anything and walked over to the seat across from her brother and sat down. "If you weren't my older brother, I would've beaten you up already," she said.
"Heh," he answered without looking up from his cereal bowl, "as if you can beat me up."
The girl narrowed her eyes. "Just watch me and you'll see."
Koenma looked up from his bowl and looked at his younger sister puzzled. He saw that she was serious but laughed instead. "Better get started on eating your breakfast," he said. "School starts in less than an hour and father doesn't want us to be late."
Botan nodded her head, grabbed a bowl that was near her and poured herself some cereal. 'Of all brothers..Why is mine like a jerk?' she asked herself mentally and then smiled. 'But then again, who can live without him? I sure can't..'
Botan Daioh is a young fifteen-year-old girl with long, sky-blue colored hair and magenta-colored eyes. She has a beautiful face that many boys would have a 'crush' on her. But she doesn't accept any because she's busy with schoolwork and projects at school that she doesn't really have time to be with a boyfriend. That's why she hates school so much, but she is one of the smartest in her class though. (A/N: in this fic she is! Even though I know that she is sort of a bubble-head sometimes..-_-) But she is like any other teenager in this world. She hangs out with her friends when able to, but her schoolwork is what brings her down. Sometimes it would be her brother, Koenma, who is one year her senior, that can bug her a lot but she's okay with it because she knows that he'll be there for her when need be.
After Koenma was done with his breakfast, he went to his room upstairs to get ready for school, leaving Botan by herself in the kitchen to finish her food. When she stood up after she ate her cereal, the phone rang. "Who could be calling this time?" she asked. She walked over to the phone and answered it after it rang for the third time. "Hello?"
"Botan!" a happy voice exclaimed excitedly. "It's me, Yukina! Ready for the first day of high school to begin?"
"Oh hey, Yukina!" she answered back. "Nope, not really ready for school to begin.."
"Is that so? Why not? I'm mean, you're usually in a cheery mood."
Botan sighed before she responded. "I don't really want to do any assignments or homework and stuff anymore.. I'll still go, it's just that I don't feel like it though. But anyway, how was your vacation in America?"
On the other line, Botan could here that her best friend was laughing. "It was fun, but you should've been there!"
"But you know that I couldn't."
"That's right, now I remember what you had to do. But still.."
"It's okay, Yukina. There's always next year." Botan brought up her wrist and looked at her watch. "Oh dear," she said.
"What's wrong?" Yukina asked.
"School's going to start in half an hour and I still need to pack up my stuff for school," she said.
"What? Oh, I guess I wasn't paying attention to the time," said Yukina. "Well, I guess I'll be seeing you in school."
"Okay," Botan replied. "Ja ne."
"Ja!"
With that, Yukina hanged up her phone and so did Botan. She kept her hand on the phone for a while and looked at her watch again. "Gotta get ready for school!" Botan ran out of the kitchen and went straight to her room to get her backpack ready and tidy up a bit before heading out.
* * *
"Botan! Hurry up before I'll leave you!" Koenma yelled from downstairs near the front door.
"Coming!" Botan yelled back. "Now where are my shoes?" she searched for her shoes until she found them in her closet. "Finally!" Botan ran down the stairs to the front door quickly with her backpack and shoes.
Koenma watched his sister put on her shoes. "Let's go and don't forget to lock the door." He went outside and headed straight to school.
After Botan took a step out the front door, she turned around, closed the door and locked it. "School..ugh...The most dreadful place to go in all the world." When she checked again to see if the door was locked, she spun around and ran to catch up to her brother.
"Wait up, Koenma!" she yelled. Koenma heard her and stopped walking.
"What took so long?" he asked.
"Nothing really," she answered coolly.
"Whatever.." Then the two started to walk to school.
Botan watched her brother and wondered how a boy like him can keep a serious expression written on his face. Even when he was young like five years old, he always had a serious face. She's never even seen him cry a single tear, except when he was a baby that was different. But ever since, she's never seen him cry. Koenma saw what she was doing and raised an eyebrow. "What are you looking at?"
The girl was surprised and faced forward again. "Oh, nothing," she said.
Ten minutes have gone by, Koenma and Botan were only a few feet away from the school. The two go to the same school since they are one year apart but never really liked being together in the same place sometimes. But since this is Botan's first time going to high school, Koenma had to show her around a bit.
Once they had reached campus grounds, Botan looked around, hoping to see if any of her friends are there. With no luck, she couldn't find them. 'Maybe they're inside,' she said to herself.
While they were walking, Botan didn't notice two boys walking closer to her and Koenma. "Yo, Koenma! What's up?" one of the boys said with an orange- brown colored hair. He was obviously one of Koenma's friends.
"Hey, Kuwabara," Koenma said and brought out his hand. The one called Kuwabara, brought out his hand and the two shook hands. "Nothing much happening here. Who's that?" Koenma asked for he saw another boy with slick, black hair.
"Oh, that's Yusuke. He just moved here a few months ago from Hokkaido to here and he just started high school today," Kuwabara explained. (A/N: I know that Yusuke isn't from Hokkaido. I just needed a place.) "Yusuke meet Koenma, Koenma meet Yusuke," he said while pointing from Yusuke to Koenma and vise versa.
"Nice to meet you," Koenma said.
"Same here," replied Yusuke.
"Uh, Koenma," Kuwabara started.
"What?"
"Who's that?" he asked, while pointing to the quiet Botan.
"Oh her?" Koenma said. He then walked behind Botan and pushed her forward a bit. "This is my younger sister, Botan."
"Botan? Brother and sister?" Kuwabara said confusingly. "I didn't know you had a sister."
"Well, now you know," said Koenma.
"But you two don't look the same," a voice from aside said out loud. It was Yusuke.
"Heh," Koenma made a short laugh. "I know. A lot of people are saying that now lately. Saying that we don't look the same. But I'm okay with it."
Kuwabara stood up straight, "Oops, sorry for being rude, but I'm Kazuma, but friends call me Kuwabara. And you're just starting high school today too?"
"Uh, hi Kuwabara. It's nice to meet you and yes, I am just starting today," Botan said smiling. She turned her head and saw Yusuke.
"Hey," he said to her. "Long time no see, Botan. I didn't know you had a brother."
"Hey..Same here," she answered back. "I didn't know that you were going to this high school."
Kuwabara and Koenma became confused and had puzzled expressions on their faces. "You two know each other?" they both asked in unison.
Botan smiled. "Of course we know each other," she said. "We were in the same class last year before school ended. Right, Yusuke?"
Yusuke smiled too. "Right."
Kuwabara scratched his head. "Oh."
The girl looked at her watch again and turned to face Koenma. "Koenma, I have to go in and find out which classroom I go to!"
Koenma sighed. "Fine, I'll take you in," he said to her. "I'll see you and the others later in class," he told to Kuwabara and walked off with Botan by his side into the school building.
* * *
The first bell rang for school to begin and Botan was already sitting down in a desk in her new classroom, waiting to see if anyone she knows will come in. Koenma was already in his class with his friends. It took a while to find out which room she belongs in but after asking the front office so many times, they finally told her.
Botan sighed and kept watching the door until it opened. Her face became bright with joy when she saw who came in. The one who came in had a sea- green colored hair and crimson-colored eyes and of course, is wearing the school uniform. "Yukina!" Botan cried out. "You're in this class too!" She stood up quickly and ran over to her best friend.
Yukina turned to see who called out her name and found out to see it was Botan. "Oh hey, Botan!" The two girls hugged each other, happy to see one another after such a long time. "What's up?" Yukina asked.
"Hm, I don't really know what's up with me," Botan said while laughing. "First I'm so gloomy about school, then I see Yusuke here and finally you."
"Yusuke's here?"
"Uh, yeah. He's here. Why?"
"Oh, just wondering. That's all," Yukina said quickly. "Let's go find some desks to sit at before the good ones are taken."
"Right."
Botan and Yukina went to find some seats so that they can sit down and talk some more. They went over to sit in the last few seats in the back row. The two friends kept talking until someone else walked over to them. Botan looked up and smiled. "Hey, what're you listening to, Keiko?" she asked to the girl who was holding a CD player with earphones in her ears.
The girl sat down in the desk that was next to Botan. "Hey, I'm just listening to a CD that has these different songs from various artists. I got it at a store a few weeks ago. And I'm listening to a song called "Kokoro no Hadaka," said Keiko.
"You're listening to 'Kokoro no Hadaka'?" Botan asked.
"Yeah, it's very cool to hear," Keiko started. "Wanna listen?" she asked, handing the earphones to her friend.
"Sure, I'll give it a hear." Botan took the offer and the earphones and put them on. She listened to the song that was played and liked it. The song had a nice beat to it and she liked that. She especially liked the ending of the song.
Botan moved her head with the beat until the song was over. "Heh, I love this song. It sounds so cool," she said. She took the earphones out and gave it to Yukina. "Listen to it, Yukina."
Yukina took the earphones and played the song. She too moved her head with the beat until four minutes later, she liked it.
"How was your summer, Keiko?" Botan asked.
"It was okay and boring," the girl replied.
The girls laughed until the teacher came into the classroom. "Ohayo gozaimasu, class," the teacher greeted. "I'm Mr. Kawamoto and I'll be the teacher for you all this year." Mr. Kawamoto walked over to the stand that was in the front of the room and placed his bag on the side and placed his notebooks on top. "I hope you had a fun summer," he said "because now that you're new to high school, you'll be challenged here and I expect you all to do your best." The teacher took out his attendance book and saw the names that were there and started to call out the names. The teacher was a young man, probably around the age of twenty-five to twenty-eight. He had a face that young women would like immediately.
He continued to call the names until she got to Botan's name. Botan answered and Mr. Kawamoto went on. He called out a name that sounded a bit familiar to Botan. It was Kagome Higurashi. The one called Kagome answered. Another name was called; the name was Sango. She too answered. Both names sounded familiar to Botan. Mr. Kawamoto continued again with the list. "Yusuke Urameshi?" The teacher called out.
"Here." Yusuke responded.
Botan's eyes went wide; she didn't know that Yusuke was in this class too. She moved her head around to see where Yusuke was sitting. She saw him and for once, he's sitting in the front. 'He usually sits in the back..Wonder why he's in the front this time,' she said to herself mentally. She shrugged off the question and waited for what must be done. 'I have a bad feeling that this day is gonna be a long one..' She looked at the clock and saw the time. 'Ugh..And lunch hour isn't until a few more hours or so.. I wonder how Koenma is doing.'
Mr. Kawamoto kept calling out names until he finished. He then started to talk about requirements for the year and what the students must do to pass this year. However, Botan didn't really pay attention to what he was saying. She was in a daydream mode, thinking about her future and so on.
* * *
"Botan!" a voice yelled out to her.
The girl snapped awake. "Wh-what?" she asked confusingly.
"You were daydreaming again."
"I was?"
"Yeah, it's a good thing that the teacher didn't notice."
"Why, Yukina?"
"Because she said that if she ever catches anyone not paying attention to her, there'll be detention."
"Oh..How long was I in that mode?"
"Probably for about half an hour," her friend said. "Mr. Kawamoto had to go to the front office because a new student came in late and didn't know where to go."
"A new student? But aren't we all new here?"
"Well, yeah we are, but he just came in right now."
"Oh..Do you think you know who he is?"
"Hm, not really."
By that, the door opened again and Mr. Kawamoto stepped in with somebody behind her. The girls who sat in that front of the class had their mouths wide open for they were shocked to see who it was that came through.
"Woah.." one of the girls from the front said to the other girl next to her silently. "Check him out!"
"I know!" the other one replied. They were still gawking at the boy who came through the door. He had green, emerald-colored eyes and long, red, crimson-colored hair, and he was tall and lean. His face was so handsome to the girls that their eyes are like already sparkling!
All the way in the back Botan was already looking dazed at what she saw. Her heart started to beat faster and she sighed. Yukina and Keiko on the other hand watched their friend and laughed. The last time they saw Botan like this was when Yusuke first came to their class last year. Botan had sort of fallen for Yusuke back then but it couldn't work out because it was Keiko that Yusuke went for, not Botan. But Botan was okay with it because she understood why. Yusuke and Keiko have been friends since they were little kids but Yusuke had to move to Hokkaido until he came back last year.
"Class, this here is Kurama. He also just transferred here a few weeks ago and has just started high school here in Tokyo," Mr. Kawamoto explained. "And since everyone here today is new," he turned over to the quiet Kurama, "I guess that you won't have that much trouble here." Kurama nodded his head. "Well, go ahead and take a seat if you will, Kurama."
Kurama walked over to find a seat. With such luck, there was a seat right next to Botan. He sat down and remained quiet. Botan felt like melting right there and now because Kurama was sitting beside her! She saw the faces on Yukina and Keiko and they were laughing.
"Good luck, Botan!" Keiko whispered. Yukina agreed.
Botan was shocked to her friends like this and sighed. "Ha ha ha," she said slowly. "Real funny." Botan turned to face the front again, hoping to hear what Mr. Kawamoto has to say.
Kurama watched the teacher writing on the board and then looked around. 'Is this the right class? Are you sure that they're in here?' he asked to himself mentally.
'Yes, I am sure that they're in here,' a voice inside of his head said. 'We still must search to see who they are though.'
'Right,' Kurama answered. 'We must still search for them.."

A/N: Okay, how was this chapter? It might have been boring, it's just that I don't how to write it in, other ideas just kept popping in and out on how to set this chapter up. But if you had a hard time figuring it out, then let's recap: Botan and Koenma are siblings, Yukina and Botan are best friends, Botan used to have a crush on Yusuke, Koenma and Kuwabara are in the same grade and what else..oh yeah, some of these characters will be OOC (out of character). And, as I said before, this will be like in an 'alternate universe' type of genre. Also, the song that the girls were listening to was called Kokoro no Hadaka, one of the many songs from Rurouni Kenshin. It is a Sanosuke image song (I think that's how you call it) and the translation for the title is "Nakedness of the Heart".
Okay, I don't own this song by the way! I just used it in here for the chap. And sorry if this chapter was sort of boring and long. But I promise it'll get better in the next few chaps! Oh and I'll answer the questions that was sent to me in the reviews that I got in the next chapter! ^^
Um, for those who have just read this, might have noticed that I changed this around a bit. At first, Kurama and the guy in his head were searching for one girl, but now, they're looking for more. Just changed it around a bit. -_-;; But the plot will still be the same (maybe).
Well, now all you have to do is press the review button thing and send me a review! And I think you might know how many reviews I need to have to put in the next chap!
All for now until next time!

p.s: oh yeah! Koenma might not have his pacifier..maybe he will or maybe he might..just wait and see..^^ and Botan will be like 15 years old here and Koenma a year older and I'm sad to say that he doesn't have the word "Jr." written on his forehead, and well, they'll be like normal teenagers, hopefully.. I'm talking way too much here, so I'm gonna stop. ^_^

At the breakfast table, a teenage boy with short, brown hair and brown eyes was already sitting down in his chair eating his breakfast for the day. After he poured the milk into his cereal bowl, Botan came walking in already wearing her new uniform for school.

While they were walking, Botan didn't notice two boys walking closer to her and Koenma. "Yo, Koenma! What's up?" one of the boys said with an orange- brown colored hair. He was obviously one of Koenma's friends.
"Hey, Kuwabara," Koenma said and brought out his hand. The one called Kuwabara, brought out his hand and the two shook hands. "Nothing much happening here. Who's that?" Koenma asked for he saw another boy with slick, black hair.
"Oh, that's Yusuke. He just moved here a few months ago from Hokkaido to here and he just started high school today," Kuwabara explained. (A/N: I know that Yusuke isn't from Hokkaido. I just needed a place.) "Yusuke meet Koenma, Koenma meet Yusuke," he said while pointing from Yusuke to Koenma and vise versa.
"Nice to meet you," Koenma said.
"Same here," replied Yusuke.
"Uh, Koenma," Kuwabara started.
"What?"
"Who's that?" he asked, while pointing to the quiet Botan.
"Oh her?" Koenma said. He then walked behind Botan and pushed her forward a bit. "This is my younger sister, Botan."
"Botan? Brother and sister?" Kuwabara said confusingly. "I didn't know you had a sister."
"Well, now you know," said Koenma.
"But you two don't look the same," a voice from aside said out loud. It was Yusuke.
"Heh," Koenma made a short laugh. "I know. A lot of people are saying that now lately. Saying that we don't look the same. But I'm okay with it."
Kuwabara stood up straight, "Oops, sorry for being rude, but I'm Kazuma, but friends call me Kuwabara. And you're just starting high school today too?"
"Uh, hi Kuwabara. It's nice to meet you and yes, I am just starting today," Botan said smiling. She turned her head and saw Yusuke.
"Hey," he said to her. "Long time no see, Botan. I didn't know you had a brother."
"Hey..Same here," she answered back. "I didn't know that you were going to this high school."
Kuwabara and Koenma became confused and had puzzled expressions on their faces. "You two know each other?" they both asked in unison.
Botan smiled. "Of course we know each other," she said. "We were in the same class last year before school ended. Right, Yusuke?"
Yusuke smiled too. "Right."
Kuwabara scratched his head. "Oh."
The girl looked at her watch again and turned to face Koenma. "Koenma, I have to go in and find out which classroom I go to!"
Koenma sighed. "Fine, I'll take you in," he said to her. "I'll see you and the others later in class," he told to Kuwabara and walked off with Botan by his side into the school building.
* * *
The first bell rang for school to begin and Botan was already sitting down in a desk in her new classroom, waiting to see if anyone she knows will come in. Koenma was already in his class with his friends. It took a while to find out which room she belongs in but after asking the front office so many times, they finally told her.
Botan sighed and kept watching the door until it opened. Her face became bright with joy when she saw who came in. The one who came in had a sea- green colored hair and crimson-colored eyes and of course, is wearing the school uniform. "Yukina!" Botan cried out. "You're in this class too!" She stood up quickly and ran over to her best friend.
Yukina turned to see who called out her name and found out to see it was Botan. "Oh hey, Botan!" The two girls hugged each other, happy to see one another after such a long time. "What's up?" Yukina asked.
"Hm, I don't really know what's up with me," Botan said while laughing. "First I'm so gloomy about school, then I see Yusuke here and finally you."
"Yusuke's here?"
"Uh, yeah. He's here. Why?"
"Oh, just wondering. That's all," Yukina said quickly. "Let's go find some desks to sit at before the good ones are taken."
"Right."
Botan and Yukina went to find some seats so that they can sit down and talk some more. They went over to sit in the last few seats in the back row. The two friends kept talking until someone else walked over to them. Botan looked up and smiled. "Hey, what're you listening to, Keiko?" she asked to the girl who was holding a CD player with earphones in her ears.
The girl sat down in the desk that was next to Botan. "Hey, I'm just listening to a CD that has these different songs from various artists. I got it at a store a few weeks ago. And I'm listening to a song called "Kokoro no Hadaka," said Keiko.
"You're listening to 'Kokoro no Hadaka'?" Botan asked.
"Yeah, it's very cool to hear," Keiko started. "Wanna listen?" she asked, handing the earphones to her friend.
"Sure, I'll give it a hear." Botan took the offer and the earphones and put them on. She listened to the song that was played and liked it. The song had a nice beat to it and she liked that. She especially liked the ending of the song.
Botan moved her head with the beat until the song was over. "Heh, I love this song. It sounds so cool," she said. She took the earphones out and gave it to Yukina. "Listen to it, Yukina."
Yukina took the earphones and played the song. She too moved her head with the beat until four minutes later, she liked it.
"How was your summer, Keiko?" Botan asked.
"It was okay and boring," the girl replied.
The girls laughed until the teacher came into the classroom. "Ohayo gozaimasu, class," the teacher greeted. "I'm Mr. Kawamoto and I'll be the teacher for you all this year." Mr. Kawamoto walked over to the stand that was in the front of the room and placed his bag on the side and placed his notebooks on top. "I hope you had a fun summer," he said "because now that you're new to high school, you'll be challenged here and I expect you all to do your best." The teacher took out his attendance book and saw the names that were there and started to call out the names. The teacher was a young man, probably around the age of twenty-five to twenty-eight. He had a face that young women would like immediately.
He continued to call the names until she got to Botan's name. Botan answered and Mr. Kawamoto went on. He called out a name that sounded a bit familiar to Botan. It was Kagome Higurashi. The one called Kagome answered. Another name was called; the name was Sango. She too answered. Both names sounded familiar to Botan. Mr. Kawamoto continued again with the list. "Yusuke Urameshi?" The teacher called out.
"Here." Yusuke responded.
Botan's eyes went wide; she didn't know that Yusuke was in this class too. She moved her head around to see where Yusuke was sitting. She saw him and for once, he's sitting in the front. 'He usually sits in the back..Wonder why he's in the front this time,' she said to herself mentally. She shrugged off the question and waited for what must be done. 'I have a bad feeling that this day is gonna be a long one..' She looked at the clock and saw the time. 'Ugh..And lunch hour isn't until a few more hours or so.. I wonder how Koenma is doing.'
Mr. Kawamoto kept calling out names until he finished. He then started to talk about requirements for the year and what the students must do to pass this year. However, Botan didn't really pay attention to what he was saying. She was in a daydream mode, thinking about her future and so on.
* * *
"Botan!" a voice yelled out to her.
The girl snapped awake. "Wh-what?" she asked confusingly.
"You were daydreaming again."
"I was?"
"Yeah, it's a good thing that the teacher didn't notice."
"Why, Yukina?"
"Because she said that if she ever catches anyone not paying attention to her, there'll be detention."
"Oh..How long was I in that mode?"
"Probably for about half an hour," her friend said. "Mr. Kawamoto had to go to the front office because a new student came in late and didn't know where to go."
"A new student? But aren't we all new here?"
"Well, yeah we are, but he just came in right now."
"Oh..Do you think you know who he is?"
"Hm, not really."
By that, the door opened again and Mr. Kawamoto stepped in with somebody behind her. The girls who sat in that front of the class had their mouths wide open for they were shocked to see who it was that came through.
"Woah.." one of the girls from the front said to the other girl next to her silently. "Check him out!"
"I know!" the other one replied. They were still gawking at the boy who came through the door. He had green, emerald-colored eyes and long, red, crimson-colored hair, and he was tall and lean. His face was so handsome to the girls that their eyes are like already sparkling!
All the way in the back Botan was already looking dazed at what she saw. Her heart started to beat faster and she sighed. Yukina and Keiko on the other hand watched their friend and laughed. The last time they saw Botan like this was when Yusuke first came to their class last year. Botan had sort of fallen for Yusuke back then but it couldn't work out because it was Keiko that Yusuke went for, not Botan. But Botan was okay with it because she understood why. Yusuke and Keiko have been friends since they were little kids but Yusuke had to move to Hokkaido until he came back last year.
"Class, this here is Kurama. He also just transferred here a few weeks ago and has just started high school here in Tokyo," Mr. Kawamoto explained. "And since everyone here today is new," he turned over to the quiet Kurama, "I guess that you won't have that much trouble here." Kurama nodded his head. "Well, go ahead and take a seat if you will, Kurama."
Kurama walked over to find a seat. With such luck, there was a seat right next to Botan. He sat down and remained quiet. Botan felt like melting right there and now because Kurama was sitting beside her! She saw the faces on Yukina and Keiko and they were laughing.
"Good luck, Botan!" Keiko whispered. Yukina agreed.
Botan was shocked to her friends like this and sighed. "Ha ha ha," she said slowly. "Real funny." Botan turned to face the front again, hoping to hear what Mr. Kawamoto has to say.
Kurama watched the teacher writing on the board and then looked around. 'Is this the right class? Are you sure that they're in here?' he asked to himself mentally.
'Yes, I am sure that they're in here,' a voice inside of his head said. 'We still must search to see who they are though.'
'Right,' Kurama answered. 'We must still search for them.."

A/N: Okay, how was this chapter? It might have been boring, it's just that I don't how to write it in, other ideas just kept popping in and out on how to set this chapter up. But if you had a hard time figuring it out, then let's recap: Botan and Koenma are siblings, Yukina and Botan are best friends, Botan used to have a crush on Yusuke, Koenma and Kuwabara are in the same grade and what else..oh yeah, some of these characters will be OOC (out of character). And, as I said before, this will be like in an 'alternate universe' type of genre. Also, the song that the girls were listening to was called Kokoro no Hadaka, one of the many songs from Rurouni Kenshin. It is a Sanosuke image song (I think that's how you call it) and the translation for the title is "Nakedness of the Heart".
Okay, I don't own this song by the way! I just used it in here for the chap. And sorry if this chapter was sort of boring and long. But I promise it'll get better in the next few chaps! Oh and I'll answer the questions that was sent to me in the reviews that I got in the next chapter! ^^
Um, for those who have just read this, might have noticed that I changed this around a bit. At first, Kurama and the guy in his head were searching for one girl, but now, they're looking for more. Just changed it around a bit. -_-;; But the plot will still be the same (maybe).
Well, now all you have to do is press the review button thing and send me a review! And I think you might know how many reviews I need to have to put in the next chap!
All for now until next time!
