Note: Hawasaki High ~ This is the highschool that the students go to in this
particular story. Since Kurama, Yuusuke, and Kuwabara go to three different high
schools in the real series (up to my knowledge) I simply made up one for this
fic. They are all (conveinantly) students there.
Further Note: Mmm... I didn't make this apparent at first, but Hiei does not
have his Jagan (evil eye). His history will be revealed later on with the reason
as to why this is so. For now, you simply need to know that he doesn't have it.
Reaching Your Limit: A YYH alternate universe
Episode 11: Ice Cream Treat. Botan's Real Purpose.
Botan looked up as the students Yukina were called joined them. As the messanger
between Koenma and the twins, she had to remind herself that she was supposed to
know nothing about these three.
Especially not Yuusuke, who was staring at her like she was going to bite him or
something. She grimaced a little, knowing full well that he probably recognized
her from that strange run-around in his mind. If there was a more stubborn human
out there, she had never met them. Botan still didn't know what magic it was
that had pulled him back to life when even Koenma had been expecting him to pass
on, but at the time she hadn't worried about it too much. Whether he lived or
died as not something that could be chosen by her.
However, she knew that she would have to be careful with what she said so as not
to make any innuendo to Yuusuke's experience.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Misahi Botan," she introduced, bowing. Like Hiei and
Yukina, she had a fake last name. Koenma had asked George to create fake files
for them in the human world, so they would be able to move around freely without
running into any problems.
Yuusuke, Kazuma, and Shuuichi introduced themselves politely. She nodded and
smiled accordingly, trying not to ask Yuusuke where his cute girlfriend was. He
had thought about her often while he'd been unconcious.
"I was going to take Yukina-chan and Hiei-kun out for some ice cream. Would the
three of you like to join us?" she questioned cheerfully.
Hiei gave her a sharp look, while Shuuichi, Yukina, and Kazuma's eyes lit up
happily. Botan gave the fire demon a pointed look in return before focusing her
attenion on the others once again.
"Ice cream!" Yukina exclaimed happily. She'd always been a sucker for sweets,
especially cold ones. Being that she was an ice maiden, that was understandable.
"I'll get to spend some time with Yukina-chan!" Kazuma all but shreeked. Botan
reflected that he didn't look the least bit like the 'Number Two Fighter of
Hawasaki High School" as his file claimed him to be.
As they left the school grounds and made their way to the shopping district,
Botan could of sworn she heard Shuuichi sigh, "and I'll get to spend some time
with Hiei!"

"Why did you invite them along? We need to discuss things that the humans are
not ready to hear," Hiei said, his tone scathing.
Botan grimaced and held up her free hand in a peace gesture, taking a lick of
her ice cream cone before replying. "I wanted to get a good look at them myself.
I have a previous encounter with Yuusuke, but I wanted to know more about
Shuuichi and Kazuma," she explained.
Sighing, Hiei nodded, accepting her reply. His eyes travelled to the others and
he grimaced a little. Kuwabara was showing off for Yukina, doing some kind of
stupid stunt that Hiei had to figure out the actual point of. Keiko, who had
spotted them earlier and joined them was now chewing Yuusuke out while Shuuichi
played the go between.
"While they are distracted, what is this important news you had for us?" Hiei
questioned.
Botan's usual cheerful expression disappeared to be replaced by a serious one.
"You reported to Koenma this morning that you'd had an encounter with some
demons last night," she began.
"Yes," Hiei replied. "I was able to sense them following us to Genkai's temple,
although they remained physically hidden. When the humans left, I followed after
them. The first demon to show itself went after Shuuichi. The other two were not
given a chance to go after Kuwabara or Urameshi. I killed all three."
"They weren't very powerful?" Botan asked.
Hiei shook his head. "Lesser demons at the most. When the demon attacked
Shuuichi, I was able to take it out with one sword stroke and remain hidden," he
replied.
"Did Shuuichi see you? It could be disasterous if he did," Botan replied, her
eyes narrowing.
"No, I don't think so. Perhaps he would of seen a shadow, if his observation
ability was made stronger by his spiritual energy. However, I doubt it," Hiei
replied. What kind of fighter did Botan think he was, to accuse of him of
actually being spotted? He was a lot more cautious than that.
Botan was quiet for a moment, but was unable to reply before Yukina called her
over in order to meet Keiko. Hiei watched the rest of them, standing a short
distance away. Yuusuke still seemed to be frightened of Botan, for whatever
reason he had been. Luckily, he was begining to relax as time passed on.
The young Guide still hadn't told him what she needed to tell him. Judging by
her questions, it was obvious that it would be something about the three demons
that he had killed yesterday. Perhaps Koenma had figured out who had sent them
and why? It seemed unlikely that whoever their enemy was had been able to figure
out their plan. Even Hiei didn't know their exact plan, other than figure out
the three human's abilities and partner up with them for this mission.
Hiei gave a small curse under his breath. Whatever the reason that the demons
were there, he knew that there would be more of them. Situations that would
normally be simple to carry through were always transforming into complex
problems. It seemed to be his fate.
"Do you like your ice cream, Hiei?"
Turning, the fire demon saw Shuuichi standing next to him. He was a little
surprised to realize he hadn't heard the other approach. "I wasn't expecting it
to taste like it does," he admitted.
Shuuichi blinked, looking surprised. "You've never had it before?" he asked.
Suddenly realizing that he'd admitted something that probably wasn't normal for
a human teenager, Hiei scolded himself. Then he scolded Koenma, for not
preparing him for things like this. It had been up to the demi-God to make sure
he knew the appropriate information to be a regular human boy.
"I don't usually have sweets," he stated, hoping that would get him out of it.
He didn't want to lie, since he would have to keep track of it later on, but
there didn't seem to be much choice. Honestly, he preferred the human foods that
were loaded with sugar. They tasted the best.
Apparently, his reason passed and Shuuichi nodded. "I don't usually have that
many sweets myself. However, I have to admit to a definate weakness for ice
cream," he commented.
Snorting, Hiei remained quiet for a moment, licking his own cone. Then he shook
his head and looked at the other. "I may have to admit to the same thing," he
admitted with a grimace.
Shuuichi laughed with genuine amusement. "Don't worry, I won't tell," he
promised.
