Chap. 6
"Yusuke someone is on the phone for you."
"Hello? Yeah.what?....wait.hold on.but.what do you mean?...how?...are you sure?...ill be right over!" Yusuke slamed the phone down on the receiver, a second later, he was out the door heading for Kurama's.
Yusuke finally arrived, panting realy hard. He burst inside without even knocking. "Alrigh guys explain!" Yusuke said. He noticed that Hiei was actually sitting on the couch for a change, as Kurama was.sitting on the window sill, looking very depressed. Yusuke could see it in his eyes. He must have really loved her to give him the nerve to kick hiei's ass off his window sill. Yusuke thought.
"Botan should be arriving soon. She had some business to attend to." Hiei said trying not to sound to obvious as to what Botan was really doing. Despite the effort, Kurama's bowed head shot up. "uh.where's Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked. "He should be here soon." Hiei responded looking out the window.
"We are willing to give you another chance Kaori." Koenma said sitting at his desk. "I don't understand? Why?" Kaori asked almost as confused as Botan was. " you did a courageous deed. You not only saved a person, but a member of the Reikai Tanti. Another thing, you had so many more things to discover about yourself. It would be a utter and complete waist if we just let you die." Koenma said in a half laugh. "The onl thing is, with a certain case like this, we will have to give you another body. your's was to damaged. If we placed you into your old body, you would just bleed to death once more." Koenma explained. There is a girl in your town, a few blocks over from you who is supposed to die today. She is the same age as you. We matched your energy wave lengths together. They match perfectly.
Koenma showed a clip of the girl on the screen. she was beautiful, and looked like Kaori slightly. "I know what you are thinking. You will end up looking like your old self after your spirit has entered her body. the body forms around your spirit. This is why you will be unconscious for 24 hours. Will you want to go on with this then?" Koenma asked. "I do." Kaori said nervously.
"Alright then. I must warn you one thing though. You will forget everything. Who you were before this, what you were, who your parents were, and your friends. Everything will be replaced by the memories of the girl. You will think you were her all your life." Koenma said .
Kaori understood. It made perfect sence. "What about my yoko form?" Kaori asked desperately. "you will still have it. Your soul caries it, not your body. but you wont remember you have it. There is only one thing, that triggers your mind to actually help you remember things. We haven't found a way to completely earase the minds yet. Its very rare, but if you come across a certain thing, you will slowly remember things. Its almost like a horrible case of amnesia. " Koenma said. Kaori nodded her head. Come then Kaori. We will go to the hospital. The girl is about to pass in a few moments. Before following Koenma, Kaori turned to Botan. "Botan please.you have to tell Kurama to find me! Tell him to help me remember! Its important. It wasn't supposed to end this way, not like this. Tell him.I love him so much." Kaori looked desperately into Botan's eyes. "I will." Botan said. Kaori walked out of the room with Koenma, going to get her a new body.
"Alright, are you ready?" Koenma asked. "yeah..but how do I do it?" Kaori asked looking at the lifless body as the faint sound of a steady beep went off in the backround. Kenma put his hands on the girls body, making it glow fully. Lie through her body. your soul will seep through. Im enabling you to almost like posses her for life in a sort of speak." Koenma said. Kaori hesitated. She climbed onto the bed and sank through the girls body thinking she was doing this all for Kurama. Koenma stayed there until the heart monitor went back to the normal heart beat it should be. She was automatically cured.
"Hello boys." Came Botan's voice as she opened the door of Kurama's house seeing all four of them. Kurama looked up in desperation. Botan tried to ignore it. Although she told Kaori she would tell Kurama, she was stricktly forbidden to do so. She didn't want to tell both Kaori and Kurama that. "Hey Botan." Kuwabara said in a confused voice. Everyone tried to explain to him what was going on, but he had never really met Kaori, so was still a little confused.
"Botan, we want you here because you could give us information." Yusuke said. A sweat drop fell from Botan's temple. "Um..sorry guys.i..dont have any. I .uh.. another ferry girl took Kaori.and its supposed to be confidential between the ferry girl and the soul, so im not exactly supposed to know what she said or did after words." Hiei gave Botan a suspicious glare that no one noticed.
Kurama sighed, walking away. A distant door closing told them that her had once again barricaded himself in his room. "Alright Botan tel the truth, don't be playing games." Hiei said looking at her in his evil way. "I told you Hiei." Botan said. Before she could continue Hiei cut in. "How did you know her name was Kaori if everything is suposidly confidential and you didn't bring her?" Hiei said. Botan just blinked. "er.alright alright I know things.but I cant say them im not allowed to." Botan finally said admitting it.
"For crying out loud Botan! Look at Kurama! He hasn't said a word since she died! You have to tell him something!" Yusuke yelled. "Im sorry, I cant." Botan said. She pulled out her oar and soared out the opened door. "Hn. She will tell eventually. That foolish girl is a complete blabbermouth. " Hiei said. "A complete blabbermouth who happens to be holding one of your most important secrets." Yusuke said in a chuckle to lighten the moment.
"Yusuke someone is on the phone for you."
"Hello? Yeah.what?....wait.hold on.but.what do you mean?...how?...are you sure?...ill be right over!" Yusuke slamed the phone down on the receiver, a second later, he was out the door heading for Kurama's.
