Botan flew around on her oar until she reached the by now very familiar chambers of Koenma sama. As usual he was on his desk sucking on his pacifier stamping papers.
'It wouldn't hurt if she asked him now would it?'she thought as she inched forward hands behind her back. The young god looked up and scowled.
"what now ferry girl-- Button-Bunton..or something?"
"Uh sir it's Botan and I was wondering if I could take a small vacation?" She regretted it immediately the moment she spoke the word 'vacation'. Botan saw the pint sized god turn red then suddenly smoke started coming out of his ears.
"Y-y-OU want a ...VACATION?!!!" he spoke as if the word Vacation was so disgusting that Botan couldn't help but excuse herself immediately and run to the door as fast as her legs could carry her. She barely had the time to dodge as the chamber door opened nearly smacking her face with it. Dazed, Botan stared at the figure at the door. It was an older ferry guide.. 'wait a minute.. Ame-chan!'
"Konnichiwa Koenma-sama" Greeted Ame. The change was instantaneous. Botan could almost swear that she saw the pint sized god's eyes turn into little hearts as he saw her friend-- not to mention the sickly sweet smile that was now on his face.
"Koenma-sama, I was doing my usual rounds and I just couldnt help but overhear your ... discussion with Botan-chan.." she smiled sweetly.
Koenma choked on his pacifier and smiled.
"ah yes..we were discussing her v-vacation.."
"And..you said yes? After all, she is one of the best ferry girls in Reikai. A small vacation wouldn't hurt. Besides, she'll be watching over her charge the mischivous Youko while she's on it." Pleaded Ame. Her bright blue puppy dog eyes doing just the trick.
"Pfft" sighed Koenma. 'She always gets her way...'
"Alright..it *is* a working vacation after all..just make *sure* you keep an eye on the damned Youko."
***
So that is how the ferry girl got her first vacation in lets see..300 or so years and not to mention how she first got to know her charge.
***
The portal towards the Makai opened with a flourish. All the colors of the rainbow seemed to twist and turn into nothingness. It was beautiful but in a dangerous way. One wrong step and you could end up in a totally different dimension... Okay so it wasnt exactly first class travel but the diety didnt really mind anyway. So, oar and travelling pack in hand, Botan jumped in the portal.
