Chapter Twenty-Five: Undocumented Flirt
Botan sat on her oar, intently watching the battle. She had been ordered to take Ichigo to Rekai so him and Koenma could talk; but the fight between these two red heads was very interesting. It seemed as though it was some type of mock battle, they were probably sparring then…
The one with orange-red hair was obviously Ichigo (no wonder he was named Strawberry) and the other vaguely reminded her of an orphan she had seen a few hundred years back… only now he was huge, and covered in tattoos.
"Damn it! You cheated!" Botan's attention snapped back to the now ended fight. She blinked several times at the argument as a black haired female tried to break it up. Suddenly though, Ichigo turned his attention to her area. She yelped softly and tried to float to her left…
And his eyes followed her… so she floated to her right… and his eyes followed her again. Botan blushed faintly, could he see her? She knew he'd be able to sense her, but to see her in her spirit form? She suddenly felt self-conscious.
"Hey you, blue haired girl!" She gulped and pointed to herself. He nodded and Botan jumped from her oar, landing on the ground with a thud.
"You can see me?" Botan asked as he gave her a 'are you stupid' look that. Botan blushed faintly as the girl (she thought it was Rukia…) and the red haired man both looked at her. Rukia instantly went into konsol-mode.
"What are you doing here still? Shouldn't you have passed on by now? I'm sure your family is waiting for you, Ichigo here can take you to the Soul Society before a Hollow comes after you." Botan scowled and stepped back from Rukia.
"Don't patronize me, ferry girls can't pass over." Botan said heatedly, not to happy to be reminded of the family she would never see again.
"What's a ferry girl?" Ichigo asked loudly as Botan rolled her eyes; what did Koenma want with this guy again?
"Ferry girls are like Shinigami, except we take recently departed souls to the Spirit World where they are judged by the Prince of the Underworld, Koenma-sama." Botan held a small book with pictures comparing ferry girls to shinigami, a picture of Spirit World, and a picture of Koenma (in his teen form of course).
"You're pictures are better then Rukia's." Ichigo pointed out as Rukia hit him in the head. Botan sweat dropped before she felt her hands being grabbed. She turned to face the red haired man, who had his hands cupped around hers.
"Ferry girls are very rare here, I think you may want to return to the heavens so that a Hollow doesn't come after you." He grinned at her and Botan blushed faintly. "By the way, my name is Renji Abarai, lieutenant of the 6th Division."
"I'm Botan, Koenma-sama's number one ferry girl and assistant to Spirit Detective Yusuke Urameshi." Botan said, staring intently into his eyes.
"Pleased to meet you." He kissed her hand. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell limp.
"I never knew you were such a flirt." Rukia said to Renji, who stood holding Botan bridal style. He shrugged,
"She's cute."
