Disclaimers: The usual disclaimers...
A/N: I wanted to show more of Hiei/Botan in the fic but I can't find a good angle a it, so it looked more of Kurama/Botan rather than Hiei/Botan...at least there are more H/B scenes here.
The Great Debate???
Topic: A Date With Botan.
Koto: Welcome back, after 1 round and a possible $125,000, the team only has $1000. Let's hear what Botan has to say.
Botan: These guys aren't working together as a team.
Keiko: It's partially your fault, Botan. I mean ask the questions faster.
Botan: Don't blame me I get mentally blocked during these situations. I wish there was some way I could ask questions faster.
Koto: There is! Touya! Bring out the machine that pops out the questions.
Touya: *presses a button *
*a weird computer machine appears before Botan and Keiko *
Botan: Oh...hi-tech gadgets. I easily adopt to these. *cracks her knuckles and stretches arms forward *
Koto: Now let's continue with the show now.
Botan: Ok, we will start with who answered the most questions, and that is you Hiei. Let's play. Start the clock.
*time: 2 mins. 20 sec. *
Botan: Hiei, what do you call a...chotto matte...what does this question have to do with me or the date?
Touya: You said you wanted faster questions so don't complain and just ask whatever random question it pops out.
Botan: Ok...What do you call a japanese sword used in the earlier days?
Hiei: Katana.
Botan: Correct. Karasu, 3+200+4859x4325-48374x23453x0 equals?

*time: 1 min. 30 sec. *
Botan: The Brak Show. Yusuke, how many drivers are there in a 16-wheeler truck?
Yusuke: 16?
Botan: 1. Kurama, complete the sentence. The quick brown blank jumps over the lazy dog.
Kurama: Fox.
Botan: Correct. Hiei, true or false. Sakuragi is really a genius.
Hiei: *whispers * Whatever.....false.
Botan: True...Huh? But Sakuragi is no genius...false is correct...
Touya: That was Kuwabara's suggested question so the answer will be of his opinion.
*time: 1 min. *
Botan: So his answer was?
Touya: Wrong.
Botan: Darn... Karasu, what is the stupidest black bird?
Karasu: I dunno... maybe a vulture?
Botan: A crow. Space Ghost...
S.Ghost: Bank!
*he banked 0 *
Botan: ...what is a horse-like animal that has big teeth and a description for gullible people?
S.Ghost: A jack@$$.
Botan: Correct. Shigure, what chemical element has the symbol Ag?
Shigure: I know that one! Gold!
*time: 30 sec. *
Botan: Silver. Koenma-sama, what is the name of Odin's move in FF8?

Botan: How was that pronounced?
Koenma: Zan-tets-ku-ken.
Botan: Oh...correct. Yusuke, complete the sentence. You can run, but you can't blank?
Yusuke: Hide.
Botan: Correct. Kurama, in computer terminologies, what does the letter P stand for in PC?

*time: 10 sec. *
Botan: Correct. Hiei, what T is a natural disaster wherein the wind forms a deadly funnel?
Hiei: ........Tensai.
Botan: Tornado. Karasu...
Organ: ten...ten..ten-den.
Botan: I cannot continue, time is up. In that round, you banked zero, nothing, na-da...what a shame.
Koto: Whose car has 4 flat tires? Whose basketball is shaped like a square? Botan, it's time to remove the unworthy.
Botan: I choose Space Ghost.
S.Ghost: Hey! You can't do that to me!I'm the only guy who banked the money here.
Koto: Why him?
Botan: Because his name is too long to say.
S.Ghost: But Shigure's name is longer than mine.
Botan: Whatever. Get outta here. G'dbye. *looks into the opposite direction *
Koto: Let's have a short break for awhile, shall we?
Rinku: This game is getting hotter and hotter.
Suzuki: I know. I must produce more money quickly.
Rinku: How do you plan to do that?
Suzuki: Just watch and learn. Hey Karasu! Can I have some of those autographed posters of yours?
Karasu: Yeah. Here. *throws a whole bunch of posters at Suzuki *
Suzuki: This is the answer to our problem.
Jin: You've gone lowbrow?
Suzuki: No, dummy. I'm gonna sell these.
Rinku: Nobody buys that kind of stuff.
Suzuki: Look here. I'm a proffesonal smuggler. These are gonna sell for thousands.
Touya: Isn't that illegal?
Suzuki: Enough. Watch this. Psssst. Hey kid! You want some Karasu posters for a bargain price of $ 1000?
Sendou: I don't buy those kind of stuff. That's only for lowbrows.
Suzuki: You don't understand this, do you? Look into my eyes. This is a poster of the famous Karasu. If you're a Kurama fan, you can use this to get your own way of revenge on Karasu.
Sendou: Oh, alright. I'll have one.
Suzuki: And specially for you, you're getting a discount. From it's original price of $ 1000, you have the opportunity to buy this for only $ 5000. Take it or leave it.
Rinku,Jin and Touya: *falls face first to the ground, anime style *
Sendou: I'll take it. *hands over 5000 bucks *
Suzuki: This thing will sell on those Kurama fans. *snicker *
Koto: OK, after 2 rounds and a possible $ 250,000 the team only has a regretful amount of $ 1000. Wait, we got a caller.
Phone: Hello, this is Shizuru.
Kuwabara: OK, Bye.*attempts to put the phone down *
Phone: OK, you're not interested in what Yukina here has to say.
Kuwabara: Helloooo.I'm listening.
Phone: *Shizuru's voice *You know how much she cried on her terrible first phone call last time thanks to you?*Yukina's voice *But I didn't...*Shizuru's voice again *Shhh...
Kuwabara: GOMENNASAI!*bows to the phone *
Phone: *Shizuru's voice *Well, anyway, just hear what Yukina has to say.*Yukina's happy voice *How do I read this? I-hate-you.-Get-out-of-my-life.Did I read that correctly Shizuru?
Kuwabara: You're reading something my sister asked you aren't you, Yukina-chan?
Phone: *Yukina's happy voice * Uh-huh.
Kuwabara: Hehe... I know my sister's pranks.
Phone: *Shizuru's voice *Do it now Yukina. Slam the phone down. As strong as you could. *Yukina's happy voice * OK...*Yukina slams the phone hard *
Kuwabara: She hates me...*cries anime style *What will I do to make it up to her?
Yusuke: Are you going to kill him later?
Hiei: No, I don't think someone as him is even worth killing. He's own stupidity is his punishment.
Koto: On with the show.
Botan: OK, at this point let me remind the constants to be a little smarter, or else. We'll start with the one who answered the most questions, and that is you, Kurama. Let's play! Start the clock.
*TimeLapse(Got a little lazy in writing):Another round passed and they still banked $0 *
Botan: I cannot continue, time is up. This round has been disastrous, 5 out of 19 questions. And for the record, it was Hiei who answered the most correct answers. Sheesh.
Yusuke: He's got easy questions. Everyone knew our show was titled Yuu Yuu Hakusho.
Koto: Whatever. In the start of the game, you were all like books to me, full of mysteries. There is fantasy, joke books, even dictionaries and encyclopedias. But one of you is a blank book that cannot be relied on. Botan, it's time to choose again the unworhty one.
Botan: Who do you think I should remove next?
Keiko: Maybe you should remove Yusuke now. He's had enough fun.
Yusuke: No fair.
Botan: Yusuke, I must say, G'dbye.* looks in the opposite direction*
Koto: After 3 rounds and a possible $375,000 you only have $1000.Let me remind you that our target limit every round is $125,000, not $1000. We agreed to provide you the money, so work hard for it. Botan, start the round.
Botan: Ok, you heard her, I want more money and I want it now. Let's play! Start the clock.
*time: 2 mins. *
Botan: Matte! What kind of question is this?!?
Touya: Just ask it. You're running out of time.
Botan: Ok, Hiei, complete the song. Kowareru hodo aishitemo, sanbun-no-ichi mo tsutawaranai, junjou na kanjou wa karamawari, I Blank you sae ienaide-iru My Heeeeeaaaaaaaa.....
Kurama: *whispers * Hear that Hiei? She said she loves you.
Hiei: *whispers back * Baka. That was part of the question.
Botan:...aaaart....
*background music starts to play *
Botan:*continues READING the question *....nagaku numurenai yoru ga, kimi e no omoi, "sore wa koi nan desu" to sasayaku yooo....
Hiei: *thinking * What kind of stupid question is this???
Botan:*still reading the question *.....tomedonaku katari kakeru, yureru kodou wa, binetsu majiri no tameiki e to kawaruuuuuu....
Half of the audience & Botan:....GIVE ME SMILE AND SHINE DAYS.Kimi no smile de...
Botan:...itetsuku yoru no samusa mo good, koraerareru.
3/4 of the audience and Botan:...Kowareru hodo aishitemo, sanbun-no-ichi mo tsutawaranai, junjou na kanjou wa karamawari, I Blank you sae ienaide-iru My Heeeeeaaaaaaaart.........
Botan: manAtsu no ame no you ni, kawaita suhada, uruosu kimi no egao ga mabushikuteeeeee....
3/4 of the audience and Botan: ....GIVE ME SMILE AND SHINE DAYS.Kyuu ni sumasanaide....
Botan: ...donna ni konnan de nankan na kabe mo, koeru kara...
All of the audience and Botan: ....Kowareru hodo aishitemo, sanbun-no-ichi mo tsutawaranai, junjou na kanjou wa karamawari, I Blank you sae ienaide-iru My Heeeeeaaaaaaaart...My Heeeeeeeaaaaaaaaart.
*time: 10 sec. *
Botan: *breathing hard * I lost breath there but just answer the question.
Hiei: .....I don't understand. Please repeat the question...
Botan: There's no more time!
*time: 5 sec. *
Botan: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Organ: Ten...den..den-den.
Botan: I cannot continue, time is up. The correct answer would have been Love. In that round, again you prove you got no ambition whatsoever.
Koto: Who among them doesn't want to be rich? Who among them is the rotten apple? Botan, it's time to remove who you think is no longer needed.
Botan: Who should I remove?
Keiko: *whispers * You might want to remove Hiei. He wasted time on that easy question.
Botan: *whispers back * But if I do that, he'll kill me.
Keiko: *whispers again * If you don't remove him he'll probably just kill you after your date.
Botan: I know that. *imagines dating Hiei and he slices everyone off,including Botan herself *
Phone: *rings *
Kuwabara: Who could this be? *picks up the phone *
Phone: Hello. This is Koashura.
Koenma: Hahaha. I see you haven't got yourself a teen form. Your voice is still the same as we were in kindergarten.
Phone: That's not the right thing to say to someone who just wanted to wish you luck.
Koenma: That was awfully nice of you so I know you're up to something.
Phone: Hehehe, you're right. I want you to win so I can have Kottenyo all for myself while you're away. Maybe this will end our rivalry since kinder. Hahahahahahaha...
Koenma: You're nuts. I won't give up our rivalry just yet.
Botan: Who's Kottenyo?
Yusuke: The baby girl who Koenma and Koashura are fighting of since kinder. She also kissed Koenma, I think.
Phone: Anyways since I'm about to make my move on Kottenyo now you can't stop me now.
Koenma: Darn! Hey Botan, remove me next.
Botan: I can't do that. You've been doing well so far.
Koenma: That was an order.
Botan: Well, OK, I guess...
Koenma: *leaves as fast as he can *
Botan: .....
Keiko: Her eyes look empty...
Yusuke: That's her fault. She shouldn't have removed Koenma.
Kurama: *thinking * This might be the best time for Hiei to make his move.
Hiei: I don't like the look on your face again. What are you thinking of now?
Kurama: Since Botan's face looks empty I think it's the best time for you to fill the gap.
Hiei: You're wrong. In situations like these, the main character usually takes over.
Kurama: Don't be rediculous. I'm thinking of a way for Botan to see you now.
Hiei: *thinking * This guy really wants to bug me. What did I do to be the helpless target of his pranks?
Keiko: Hey, Botan, wake up. *shakes Botan *
Botan: .....
Keiko: It's no use crying over spilled milk. Besides there are still these guys who wanna date you, right?
Botan: *suddenly wakes up * That's right. I should continue this. A girl must be tough. Maybe Koenma is not the right person yet.
Keiko: That's the spirit.
Koto: Let's start the next round.
Botan: Round 5. After 4 rounds and a possible $500,000, you only have a silly $ 1000. We will start with the only one who was asked, and that is you Hiei. Let's play! Start the clock.
*time: 1 min. 50 sec. *
Botan: Hiei, what do you call a piece of cloth that is usually wrapped around the forehead?
Hiei: ...Bandana...
Botan: Correct. Karasu, what has a timer, gunpowder, and explodes?
*Money tree:$ 1000 *
Karasu: Easy. Dynamites.
Botan: I'll accept that. Shigure, what is the possesive form of the proper noun Cassilla?
*Money tree: $ 2000 *
Shigure: Cassilla's.
Botan: Correct. Kurama, a toupee is a fake of what part of the body?
*Money tree: $ 5000 *
Kurama: Hair.
Botan: Correct. Hiei, what hearing is to ears as seeing is too the what?
*Money tree: $ 10,000 *
Hiei: Eyes.
Botan: Correct. Karasu...
*Money tree: $ 20,000 *
Karasu: *thinking * Not yet...Don't bank just yet.
Botan: ...what is the usual collective name for Blossom, Bubbles and Butttercup?
Karasu: Powerpuff Girls.
Botan: Correct. Shigure...
*Money tree: $ 50,000 *
Shigure: *thinking * I'll get this correctly.
Botan: ...If today is Friday what day is tomorrow?
Shigure: Saturday.(oooh oooh)
Botan: Correct.Kurama...
*Money Tree: $ 80,000 *
Keiko: *thinking * It's a sure win. The next question will be for the target limit and Kurama is bound to answer this.
Suzuki: *thinking * NOOOO! There's less chance for Kurama not to get this one.
Botan: ...Who is your one true love?
Kurama: My mom.
Botan: Correct! They did it. I'm rich! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Keiko: I don't think this question accepts that kind of answer. They start from $0 again.
Botan: That's stupid. Hey Kurama, change your answer while there is still time.
*time: 1 min. *
Kurama: Hmmm....
Karasu: Baka. Just answer it.
Kurama: Who's name should I say?
Botan: Just say any girl's name and make it fast before you lose time.
Female Kurama fan: OHHHHH! Say my name, Kurama. I'm Jessie!
Another female Kurama fan: My name's Sarah! Say my name, Kurama!!!
Other female Kurama fans: Say my name!
Beyonce: Say my name, say my name. No one is around you, say baby I love you...
Kurama: Well....eherm....umm....anou....*scratches head *
*time: 30 sec. *
Shigure: You're costing the team. Just answer it.
Kurama: What was her name again?
Karasu, Shigure, Botan and Keiko: JUST ANSWER IT!
*time: 1 sec. *
Botan: NOOOOOOOOOOOO....!
Organ: Ten...den..den-den.
Botan: I cannot continue. Time is up.
Kuwabara: This is the first time I've heard of a question that not even Kurama knows the answer.
Botan: You could have said anybody's name, idiot.
Kurama: It was hard. I mean, there were so many of them to choose from.
Botan: You could have said the name of that girl. Hey you in the front seat! What's your name?
Ugly girl: Who? Me?
Botan: Yeah, I'm talking to you.
Ugly girl: Ooooooooh! *goes to the stage and starts shaking Kurama's hand * My name's Betty. Betty la Fea.
Kurama: Hey, lay off me! Botan, you got a bad taste for girls.
Betty: *goes back to her seat *
Botan: OK, to any girl who's not ugly please tell me your name.
Kurama fangirl 1: I'm Suzie!!
Fangirl 2: Shut up! I'm Jenny!
Fangirl 3: *pushes them aside * Lay off! I'm Charlene!
Fangirls 1,2,3: *they fight in a cloud of dust *
Botan: You could have chosen any of these girls and it would have been the correct answer. You want me to kill you or something?
Keiko: *holding Botan off * Easy. Easy.
Karasu: I'm gonna kill you as well. *produces a bomb *
Shigure: Same here. *grabs hold of his weapon *
Kurama: I'm ready to take on any of you anytime. *holds a rose *
Koto: You're not allowed to kill Kurama until he gets removed.
Karasu: Hmph. Fine. *throws the bomb somewhere in the audience *
Shigure: I'll kill you later. *puts his weapon away *
Keiko: It's clear now. You should remove Kurama.
Botan: I can't do that. He'll get madder at me than he already is.
Keiko: What's the point? You're mad at each other anyway.
Botan: The problem will solve itself eventually. We just have to wait for the right time.
Koto: So who are you removing now?
Botan: I pick Shigure.
Shigure: Nani? He's the one who made the mistake!
Botan: Whatever. Shigure, G'dbye. *looks in the opposite direction *
Koto: Round 6. After 5 rounds and a possible $ 625,000 you only have a pitiful $ 1000.
Botan: We will start with whoever got the most correct answers, which is definitely not Kurama, who is Karasu. Let's do this. Start the clock!
*time: 1 min. 40 sec. *
Botan: Karasu, which is bigger, a basketball or an eyeball?
Karasu: Basketball.
Botan: Correct. Kurama, complete the sentence, he who controls the rebound controls the ?
Kurama: Game.
Botan: Correct. Hiei, how many pairs of eyebrows does a man usually have?
Hiei: 2.
Botan: 1. Karasu, what is the complete name for TV?
Karasu: Television.
*time:1 min. *
Botan: Correct. Kurama, what do you call someone who passed the Hunter Exam?
Kurama: Hunter.
Botan: Correct. Hiei, why does Mukuro's butt look big in her clothes?
Hiei: How the hell should I know?
Botan: Just answer it.
Hiei: Hn................
*time:30 sec. *
Hiei: ...............
Karasu: *thinking * These guys really don't want to win, do they?
Hiei: .............
Organ: Ten...den..DEN-den.
Botan: I cannot continue, time is up.
Karasu: So what was supposed to be the correct answer?
Botan: I dunno. Well, anyway you got $0 again. What creeps. You're all brainless.
Kurama: Look who's talking. So far I remember I only got 1 wrong answer. Besides you're the one who's brainless there.
Yusuke: Hahahahaha! He's got a point. Maybe Botan's name means brainless. Hahahahahahahah...............
Phone: *rings *
Kuwabara: I'll get it. *picks up the phone *
Phone: This is Kaitou again. Actually Yusuke the word "botan" means button.
Yusuke: So which word means brainless?
Phone: I don't know. But most anime characters live up to their names. Like Karasu, which means "crow" and "to dry up".
Karasu: I didn't know that. *scratches head *
Yusuke: How does Botan live up to her name? I don't see any buttons on her shirt or anything.
Botan: Well, I do have a belly button.
Yusuke: Ooooh, can we see it?
Botan: Of course not.
Phone: Maybe she does live up to her name. Another meaning for botan is peony, a tree peony to be more precise.
Yusuke: Hahahaha! Isn't peony the slave thing from Warcraft?
Keiko: I suggest you stop laughing, Yusuke. You've laughed enough.
Botan: Me? A slave? *faints *
Keiko: Look what you did? Now I'll have to wake her up.
Phone: You're wrong, a peony is a kind of plant with flowers. It is... *attempts to lecture about plants but gets interrupted *
Kurama: Hey! Stop that. Don't take me for a dumb person when it comes to plants. If you wanna outsmart me, do it in class.
Phone: But we are in class. Were currently watching you now. Sensei brought a TV.
Kurama: OK...but enough of the plant part...*gets interrupted *
Phone: As I was saying, peony is the common name of around 30+ species of plants in its family, Paeoniaceae... *gets interrupted again *
Kurama: Genus Paeonia. It comes in a variety of colors such as white, yellow, red, pink and purple. The peony P.officinalis can bloom for decades and its seeds were once used to ward off nightmares. There, I said what you will say so get out. You're making me look like I don't know my plants.
Phone: I'm not yet done with you. I'm gonna be the best there is in Biology after I prove to the word I'm smarter than you.
Kurama: Forget it. You can't beat me in Biology in whatever angle. Zoology, Botany, Anatomy, Taxonomy, Physiology....
Phone: We'll see about that. *puts the phone down *
Kurama: ....Endoctrinology, , Virology, Ornithology....
Koto: That's enough, Kurama.
Kurama: ....Gastroenterolo....
Koto: Enough.
Kurama: .....Ok.
Keiko: Botan's coming back to her senses.
Botan: What happened?
Koto: Nothing. Just some complicated lecture on plants,....that we didn't understand.
Yusuke: Yeah. Kurama, would you mind saying all those things again?
Kurama: Sure....
Koto: We have no time for all that again. Keiko, could you sum it up for us?
Keiko: It's pretty complicated, but I think they said a peony can bloom for decades.
Botan: So that means if I bury myself in the yard, I can live for a few years?
Keiko: What's the point? You're immortal like that anyway.
Botan: Oh yeah....forgot about that.
Koto: Just continue with the game.
Botan: I remove Karasu.
Karasu: Why me?
Botan: I have no idea. Karasu, G'dbye.
Koto: Round 7. In this round, any money you'll get will be doubled.
Kurama: I'm backing out now. So this leaves us with just Hiei.
Botan: *whispers to Keiko *I told you the problem will solve itself eventually.
Keiko: *whispers back * Yeah, but there is at least 45% chance that Hiei himself will kill you.
Mukuro: *suddenly enters the scene being held off by guards, which she quickly killed * Let's put it this way, Hiei, if you date that girl I swear at least one of you will die.
Keiko: Looks like you better hide now, Botan.
Botan: *hides behind Hiei *
Hiei: Do you always have to spoil my day, Mukuro?
Botan: *hides behind Kurama * Great. There's 45% that Hiei will kill me and 50% chance that Mukuro will kill me. So my chances of living are... 10%?
Kurama: Actually it's just 5. How did you learn math anyway?
Botan: *hiding somewhere in the audience *
Hiei: This is stupid. *leaves in a blink of an eye *
Mukuro: Hmph.
Koto: So that leaves us with Kurama, who is our winner. Congratulations, you get to date Botan. Where is she anyway?
Botan: *disguised as someone in the audience *
Phone: *rings then is answered by Kuwabara *Hello, this is Shiori Minamino. Shuuichi, it's dinner time.
Kurama: Coming, mom. *leaves *
Koto: Where's Botan?
Yusuke: I think that's her up there.
Koto: Hello there, Botan. From here, we can say that Kurama won't come to your date which means you were stood up for the 2nd time. How does it feel?
Botan: *has several of those veins in her forehead which is a sign of anger * So at least I got 1000 bucks.
Koto: No. That's only for dating purposes so no date, no money.
Suzuki: *fanning himself with all the money he raised * Hooooo! I'm rich.
Botan: Matte. What if I date Yusuke?
Koto: You're only allowed to date the winner.
Botan: Where did that Kurama go! When I get my hands on him I'll make him experience hell on earth!
Koto: He's gone now.
Yusuke: Watch out! She's on the rampage. Run for your lives!
*backstage *
Kuwabara: What's with you?
Yusuke: I think I know that "A woman must be tough" line that Botan said.
Kuwabara: Like what?
Yusuke: You'll know in the next topic.
A/N: Not much of an ending again. *sigh * If you didn't get what I said in the intro, here it is. It means that Koenma thinks Botan likes Kurama,who thinks Botan likes Hiei,who thinks Botan likes Yusuke, who thinks Botan likes Koenma. Pretty nifty, huh? The next topic is my personal favorite.Ja ne!
A/N: I wanted to show more of Hiei/Botan in the fic but I can't find a good angle a it, so it looked more of Kurama/Botan rather than Hiei/Botan...at least there are more H/B scenes here.
The Great Debate???
Topic: A Date With Botan.
Koto: Welcome back, after 1 round and a possible $125,000, the team only has $1000. Let's hear what Botan has to say.
Botan: These guys aren't working together as a team.
Keiko: It's partially your fault, Botan. I mean ask the questions faster.
Botan: Don't blame me I get mentally blocked during these situations. I wish there was some way I could ask questions faster.
Koto: There is! Touya! Bring out the machine that pops out the questions.
Touya: *presses a button *
*a weird computer machine appears before Botan and Keiko *
Botan: Oh...hi-tech gadgets. I easily adopt to these. *cracks her knuckles and stretches arms forward *
Koto: Now let's continue with the show now.

*time: 2 mins. 20 sec. *
Botan: Hiei, what do you call a...chotto matte...what does this question have to do with me or the date?

Koenma: ???...Shigure?

Botan: The Brak Show. Yusuke, how many drivers are there in a 16-wheeler truck?
Yusuke: 16?
Botan: 1. Kurama, complete the sentence. The quick brown blank jumps over the lazy dog.
Kurama: Fox.
Botan: Correct. Hiei, true or false. Sakuragi is really a genius.
Hiei: *whispers * Whatever.....false.
Botan: True...Huh? But Sakuragi is no genius...false is correct...
Touya: That was Kuwabara's suggested question so the answer will be of his opinion.
*time: 1 min. *
Botan: So his answer was?
Touya: Wrong.
Botan: Darn... Karasu, what is the stupidest black bird?
Karasu: I dunno... maybe a vulture?
Botan: A crow. Space Ghost...
S.Ghost: Bank!
*he banked 0 *
Botan: ...what is a horse-like animal that has big teeth and a description for gullible people?

Shigure: I know that one! Gold!
*time: 30 sec. *
Botan: Silver. Koenma-sama, what is the name of Odin's move in FF8?
Koenma: Zantetskuken.
Botan: How was that pronounced?
Koenma: Zan-tets-ku-ken.
Botan: Oh...correct. Yusuke, complete the sentence. You can run, but you can't blank?
Yusuke: Hide.
Botan: Correct. Kurama, in computer terminologies, what does the letter P stand for in PC?
Kurama: Personal.
*time: 10 sec. *
Botan: Correct. Hiei, what T is a natural disaster wherein the wind forms a deadly funnel?
Hiei: ........Tensai.
Botan: Tornado. Karasu...
Organ: ten...ten..ten-den.
Botan: I cannot continue, time is up. In that round, you banked zero, nothing, na-da...what a shame.
Koto: Whose car has 4 flat tires? Whose basketball is shaped like a square? Botan, it's time to remove the unworthy.
Botan: I choose Space Ghost.
S.Ghost: Hey! You can't do that to me!I'm the only guy who banked the money here.
Koto: Why him?
Botan: Because his name is too long to say.
S.Ghost: But Shigure's name is longer than mine.
Botan: Whatever. Get outta here. G'dbye. *looks into the opposite direction *
Koto: Let's have a short break for awhile, shall we?
Rinku: This game is getting hotter and hotter.
Suzuki: I know. I must produce more money quickly.
Rinku: How do you plan to do that?
Suzuki: Just watch and learn. Hey Karasu! Can I have some of those autographed posters of yours?
Karasu: Yeah. Here. *throws a whole bunch of posters at Suzuki *
Suzuki: This is the answer to our problem.
Jin: You've gone lowbrow?
Suzuki: No, dummy. I'm gonna sell these.
Rinku: Nobody buys that kind of stuff.
Suzuki: Look here. I'm a proffesonal smuggler. These are gonna sell for thousands.
Touya: Isn't that illegal?
Suzuki: Enough. Watch this. Psssst. Hey kid! You want some Karasu posters for a bargain price of $ 1000?
Sendou: I don't buy those kind of stuff. That's only for lowbrows.
Suzuki: You don't understand this, do you? Look into my eyes. This is a poster of the famous Karasu. If you're a Kurama fan, you can use this to get your own way of revenge on Karasu.
Sendou: Oh, alright. I'll have one.
Suzuki: And specially for you, you're getting a discount. From it's original price of $ 1000, you have the opportunity to buy this for only $ 5000. Take it or leave it.
Rinku,Jin and Touya: *falls face first to the ground, anime style *
Sendou: I'll take it. *hands over 5000 bucks *
Suzuki: This thing will sell on those Kurama fans. *snicker *
Koto: OK, after 2 rounds and a possible $ 250,000 the team only has a regretful amount of $ 1000. Wait, we got a caller.
Phone: Hello, this is Shizuru.
Kuwabara: OK, Bye.*attempts to put the phone down *
Phone: OK, you're not interested in what Yukina here has to say.
Kuwabara: Helloooo.I'm listening.
Phone: *Shizuru's voice *You know how much she cried on her terrible first phone call last time thanks to you?*Yukina's voice *But I didn't...*Shizuru's voice again *Shhh...
Kuwabara: GOMENNASAI!*bows to the phone *
Phone: *Shizuru's voice *Well, anyway, just hear what Yukina has to say.*Yukina's happy voice *How do I read this? I-hate-you.-Get-out-of-my-life.Did I read that correctly Shizuru?
Kuwabara: You're reading something my sister asked you aren't you, Yukina-chan?
Phone: *Yukina's happy voice * Uh-huh.
Kuwabara: Hehe... I know my sister's pranks.
Phone: *Shizuru's voice *Do it now Yukina. Slam the phone down. As strong as you could. *Yukina's happy voice * OK...*Yukina slams the phone hard *
Kuwabara: She hates me...*cries anime style *What will I do to make it up to her?
Yusuke: Are you going to kill him later?
Hiei: No, I don't think someone as him is even worth killing. He's own stupidity is his punishment.
Koto: On with the show.
Botan: OK, at this point let me remind the constants to be a little smarter, or else. We'll start with the one who answered the most questions, and that is you, Kurama. Let's play! Start the clock.
*TimeLapse(Got a little lazy in writing):Another round passed and they still banked $0 *
Botan: I cannot continue, time is up. This round has been disastrous, 5 out of 19 questions. And for the record, it was Hiei who answered the most correct answers. Sheesh.
Yusuke: He's got easy questions. Everyone knew our show was titled Yuu Yuu Hakusho.
Koto: Whatever. In the start of the game, you were all like books to me, full of mysteries. There is fantasy, joke books, even dictionaries and encyclopedias. But one of you is a blank book that cannot be relied on. Botan, it's time to choose again the unworhty one.
Botan: Who do you think I should remove next?
Keiko: Maybe you should remove Yusuke now. He's had enough fun.
Yusuke: No fair.
Botan: Yusuke, I must say, G'dbye.* looks in the opposite direction*
Koto: After 3 rounds and a possible $375,000 you only have $1000.Let me remind you that our target limit every round is $125,000, not $1000. We agreed to provide you the money, so work hard for it. Botan, start the round.
Botan: Ok, you heard her, I want more money and I want it now. Let's play! Start the clock.
*time: 2 mins. *
Botan: Matte! What kind of question is this?!?
Touya: Just ask it. You're running out of time.
Botan: Ok, Hiei, complete the song. Kowareru hodo aishitemo, sanbun-no-ichi mo tsutawaranai, junjou na kanjou wa karamawari, I Blank you sae ienaide-iru My Heeeeeaaaaaaaa.....
Kurama: *whispers * Hear that Hiei? She said she loves you.
Hiei: *whispers back * Baka. That was part of the question.
Botan:...aaaart....
*background music starts to play *
Botan:*continues READING the question *....nagaku numurenai yoru ga, kimi e no omoi, "sore wa koi nan desu" to sasayaku yooo....
Hiei: *thinking * What kind of stupid question is this???
Botan:*still reading the question *.....tomedonaku katari kakeru, yureru kodou wa, binetsu majiri no tameiki e to kawaruuuuuu....
Half of the audience & Botan:....GIVE ME SMILE AND SHINE DAYS.Kimi no smile de...
Botan:...itetsuku yoru no samusa mo good, koraerareru.
3/4 of the audience and Botan:...Kowareru hodo aishitemo, sanbun-no-ichi mo tsutawaranai, junjou na kanjou wa karamawari, I Blank you sae ienaide-iru My Heeeeeaaaaaaaart.........
Botan: manAtsu no ame no you ni, kawaita suhada, uruosu kimi no egao ga mabushikuteeeeee....
3/4 of the audience and Botan: ....GIVE ME SMILE AND SHINE DAYS.Kyuu ni sumasanaide....
Botan: ...donna ni konnan de nankan na kabe mo, koeru kara...
All of the audience and Botan: ....Kowareru hodo aishitemo, sanbun-no-ichi mo tsutawaranai, junjou na kanjou wa karamawari, I Blank you sae ienaide-iru My Heeeeeaaaaaaaart...My Heeeeeeeaaaaaaaaart.
*time: 10 sec. *
Botan: *breathing hard * I lost breath there but just answer the question.
Hiei: .....I don't understand. Please repeat the question...
Botan: There's no more time!
*time: 5 sec. *
Botan: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Organ: Ten...den..den-den.
Botan: I cannot continue, time is up. The correct answer would have been Love. In that round, again you prove you got no ambition whatsoever.
Koto: Who among them doesn't want to be rich? Who among them is the rotten apple? Botan, it's time to remove who you think is no longer needed.
Botan: Who should I remove?
Keiko: *whispers * You might want to remove Hiei. He wasted time on that easy question.
Botan: *whispers back * But if I do that, he'll kill me.
Keiko: *whispers again * If you don't remove him he'll probably just kill you after your date.
Botan: I know that. *imagines dating Hiei and he slices everyone off,including Botan herself *
Phone: *rings *
Kuwabara: Who could this be? *picks up the phone *
Phone: Hello. This is Koashura.
Koenma: Hahaha. I see you haven't got yourself a teen form. Your voice is still the same as we were in kindergarten.
Phone: That's not the right thing to say to someone who just wanted to wish you luck.
Koenma: That was awfully nice of you so I know you're up to something.
Phone: Hehehe, you're right. I want you to win so I can have Kottenyo all for myself while you're away. Maybe this will end our rivalry since kinder. Hahahahahahaha...
Koenma: You're nuts. I won't give up our rivalry just yet.
Botan: Who's Kottenyo?
Yusuke: The baby girl who Koenma and Koashura are fighting of since kinder. She also kissed Koenma, I think.
Phone: Anyways since I'm about to make my move on Kottenyo now you can't stop me now.
Koenma: Darn! Hey Botan, remove me next.
Botan: I can't do that. You've been doing well so far.
Koenma: That was an order.
Botan: Well, OK, I guess...
Koenma: *leaves as fast as he can *
Botan: .....
Keiko: Her eyes look empty...
Yusuke: That's her fault. She shouldn't have removed Koenma.
Kurama: *thinking * This might be the best time for Hiei to make his move.
Hiei: I don't like the look on your face again. What are you thinking of now?
Kurama: Since Botan's face looks empty I think it's the best time for you to fill the gap.
Hiei: You're wrong. In situations like these, the main character usually takes over.
Kurama: Don't be rediculous. I'm thinking of a way for Botan to see you now.
Hiei: *thinking * This guy really wants to bug me. What did I do to be the helpless target of his pranks?
Keiko: Hey, Botan, wake up. *shakes Botan *
Botan: .....
Keiko: It's no use crying over spilled milk. Besides there are still these guys who wanna date you, right?
Botan: *suddenly wakes up * That's right. I should continue this. A girl must be tough. Maybe Koenma is not the right person yet.
Keiko: That's the spirit.
Koto: Let's start the next round.
Botan: Round 5. After 4 rounds and a possible $500,000, you only have a silly $ 1000. We will start with the only one who was asked, and that is you Hiei. Let's play! Start the clock.
*time: 1 min. 50 sec. *
Botan: Hiei, what do you call a piece of cloth that is usually wrapped around the forehead?
Hiei: ...Bandana...
Botan: Correct. Karasu, what has a timer, gunpowder, and explodes?
*Money tree:$ 1000 *
Karasu: Easy. Dynamites.
Botan: I'll accept that. Shigure, what is the possesive form of the proper noun Cassilla?
*Money tree: $ 2000 *
Shigure: Cassilla's.
Botan: Correct. Kurama, a toupee is a fake of what part of the body?
*Money tree: $ 5000 *
Kurama: Hair.
Botan: Correct. Hiei, what hearing is to ears as seeing is too the what?
*Money tree: $ 10,000 *
Hiei: Eyes.
Botan: Correct. Karasu...
*Money tree: $ 20,000 *
Karasu: *thinking * Not yet...Don't bank just yet.
Botan: ...what is the usual collective name for Blossom, Bubbles and Butttercup?
Karasu: Powerpuff Girls.
Botan: Correct. Shigure...
*Money tree: $ 50,000 *
Shigure: *thinking * I'll get this correctly.
Botan: ...If today is Friday what day is tomorrow?
Shigure: Saturday.(oooh oooh)
Botan: Correct.Kurama...
*Money Tree: $ 80,000 *
Keiko: *thinking * It's a sure win. The next question will be for the target limit and Kurama is bound to answer this.
Suzuki: *thinking * NOOOO! There's less chance for Kurama not to get this one.
Botan: ...Who is your one true love?
Kurama: My mom.
Botan: Correct! They did it. I'm rich! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Keiko: I don't think this question accepts that kind of answer. They start from $0 again.
Botan: That's stupid. Hey Kurama, change your answer while there is still time.
*time: 1 min. *
Kurama: Hmmm....
Karasu: Baka. Just answer it.
Kurama: Who's name should I say?
Botan: Just say any girl's name and make it fast before you lose time.
Female Kurama fan: OHHHHH! Say my name, Kurama. I'm Jessie!
Another female Kurama fan: My name's Sarah! Say my name, Kurama!!!
Other female Kurama fans: Say my name!
Beyonce: Say my name, say my name. No one is around you, say baby I love you...
Kurama: Well....eherm....umm....anou....*scratches head *
*time: 30 sec. *
Shigure: You're costing the team. Just answer it.
Kurama: What was her name again?
Karasu, Shigure, Botan and Keiko: JUST ANSWER IT!
*time: 1 sec. *
Botan: NOOOOOOOOOOOO....!
Organ: Ten...den..den-den.
Botan: I cannot continue. Time is up.
Kuwabara: This is the first time I've heard of a question that not even Kurama knows the answer.
Botan: You could have said anybody's name, idiot.
Kurama: It was hard. I mean, there were so many of them to choose from.
Botan: You could have said the name of that girl. Hey you in the front seat! What's your name?
Ugly girl: Who? Me?
Botan: Yeah, I'm talking to you.
Ugly girl: Ooooooooh! *goes to the stage and starts shaking Kurama's hand * My name's Betty. Betty la Fea.
Kurama: Hey, lay off me! Botan, you got a bad taste for girls.
Betty: *goes back to her seat *
Botan: OK, to any girl who's not ugly please tell me your name.
Kurama fangirl 1: I'm Suzie!!
Fangirl 2: Shut up! I'm Jenny!
Fangirl 3: *pushes them aside * Lay off! I'm Charlene!
Fangirls 1,2,3: *they fight in a cloud of dust *
Botan: You could have chosen any of these girls and it would have been the correct answer. You want me to kill you or something?
Keiko: *holding Botan off * Easy. Easy.
Karasu: I'm gonna kill you as well. *produces a bomb *
Shigure: Same here. *grabs hold of his weapon *
Kurama: I'm ready to take on any of you anytime. *holds a rose *
Koto: You're not allowed to kill Kurama until he gets removed.
Karasu: Hmph. Fine. *throws the bomb somewhere in the audience *
Shigure: I'll kill you later. *puts his weapon away *
Keiko: It's clear now. You should remove Kurama.
Botan: I can't do that. He'll get madder at me than he already is.
Keiko: What's the point? You're mad at each other anyway.
Botan: The problem will solve itself eventually. We just have to wait for the right time.
Koto: So who are you removing now?
Botan: I pick Shigure.
Shigure: Nani? He's the one who made the mistake!
Botan: Whatever. Shigure, G'dbye. *looks in the opposite direction *
Koto: Round 6. After 5 rounds and a possible $ 625,000 you only have a pitiful $ 1000.
Botan: We will start with whoever got the most correct answers, which is definitely not Kurama, who is Karasu. Let's do this. Start the clock!
*time: 1 min. 40 sec. *
Botan: Karasu, which is bigger, a basketball or an eyeball?
Karasu: Basketball.
Botan: Correct. Kurama, complete the sentence, he who controls the rebound controls the ?
Kurama: Game.
Botan: Correct. Hiei, how many pairs of eyebrows does a man usually have?
Hiei: 2.
Botan: 1. Karasu, what is the complete name for TV?
Karasu: Television.
*time:1 min. *
Botan: Correct. Kurama, what do you call someone who passed the Hunter Exam?
Kurama: Hunter.
Botan: Correct. Hiei, why does Mukuro's butt look big in her clothes?
Hiei: How the hell should I know?
Botan: Just answer it.
Hiei: Hn................
*time:30 sec. *
Hiei: ...............
Karasu: *thinking * These guys really don't want to win, do they?
Hiei: .............
Organ: Ten...den..DEN-den.
Botan: I cannot continue, time is up.
Karasu: So what was supposed to be the correct answer?
Botan: I dunno. Well, anyway you got $0 again. What creeps. You're all brainless.
Kurama: Look who's talking. So far I remember I only got 1 wrong answer. Besides you're the one who's brainless there.
Yusuke: Hahahahaha! He's got a point. Maybe Botan's name means brainless. Hahahahahahahah...............
Phone: *rings *
Kuwabara: I'll get it. *picks up the phone *
Phone: This is Kaitou again. Actually Yusuke the word "botan" means button.
Yusuke: So which word means brainless?
Phone: I don't know. But most anime characters live up to their names. Like Karasu, which means "crow" and "to dry up".
Karasu: I didn't know that. *scratches head *
Yusuke: How does Botan live up to her name? I don't see any buttons on her shirt or anything.
Botan: Well, I do have a belly button.
Yusuke: Ooooh, can we see it?
Botan: Of course not.
Phone: Maybe she does live up to her name. Another meaning for botan is peony, a tree peony to be more precise.
Yusuke: Hahahaha! Isn't peony the slave thing from Warcraft?
Keiko: I suggest you stop laughing, Yusuke. You've laughed enough.
Botan: Me? A slave? *faints *
Keiko: Look what you did? Now I'll have to wake her up.
Phone: You're wrong, a peony is a kind of plant with flowers. It is... *attempts to lecture about plants but gets interrupted *
Kurama: Hey! Stop that. Don't take me for a dumb person when it comes to plants. If you wanna outsmart me, do it in class.
Phone: But we are in class. Were currently watching you now. Sensei brought a TV.
Kurama: OK...but enough of the plant part...*gets interrupted *
Phone: As I was saying, peony is the common name of around 30+ species of plants in its family, Paeoniaceae... *gets interrupted again *
Kurama: Genus Paeonia. It comes in a variety of colors such as white, yellow, red, pink and purple. The peony P.officinalis can bloom for decades and its seeds were once used to ward off nightmares. There, I said what you will say so get out. You're making me look like I don't know my plants.
Phone: I'm not yet done with you. I'm gonna be the best there is in Biology after I prove to the word I'm smarter than you.
Kurama: Forget it. You can't beat me in Biology in whatever angle. Zoology, Botany, Anatomy, Taxonomy, Physiology....
Phone: We'll see about that. *puts the phone down *
Kurama: ....Endoctrinology, , Virology, Ornithology....
Koto: That's enough, Kurama.
Kurama: ....Gastroenterolo....
Koto: Enough.
Kurama: .....Ok.
Keiko: Botan's coming back to her senses.
Botan: What happened?
Koto: Nothing. Just some complicated lecture on plants,....that we didn't understand.
Yusuke: Yeah. Kurama, would you mind saying all those things again?
Kurama: Sure....
Koto: We have no time for all that again. Keiko, could you sum it up for us?
Keiko: It's pretty complicated, but I think they said a peony can bloom for decades.
Botan: So that means if I bury myself in the yard, I can live for a few years?
Keiko: What's the point? You're immortal like that anyway.
Botan: Oh yeah....forgot about that.
Koto: Just continue with the game.
Botan: I remove Karasu.
Karasu: Why me?
Botan: I have no idea. Karasu, G'dbye.
Koto: Round 7. In this round, any money you'll get will be doubled.
Kurama: I'm backing out now. So this leaves us with just Hiei.
Botan: *whispers to Keiko *I told you the problem will solve itself eventually.
Keiko: *whispers back * Yeah, but there is at least 45% chance that Hiei himself will kill you.
Mukuro: *suddenly enters the scene being held off by guards, which she quickly killed * Let's put it this way, Hiei, if you date that girl I swear at least one of you will die.
Keiko: Looks like you better hide now, Botan.
Botan: *hides behind Hiei *
Hiei: Do you always have to spoil my day, Mukuro?
Botan: *hides behind Kurama * Great. There's 45% that Hiei will kill me and 50% chance that Mukuro will kill me. So my chances of living are... 10%?
Kurama: Actually it's just 5. How did you learn math anyway?
Botan: *hiding somewhere in the audience *
Hiei: This is stupid. *leaves in a blink of an eye *
Mukuro: Hmph.
Koto: So that leaves us with Kurama, who is our winner. Congratulations, you get to date Botan. Where is she anyway?
Botan: *disguised as someone in the audience *
Phone: *rings then is answered by Kuwabara *Hello, this is Shiori Minamino. Shuuichi, it's dinner time.
Kurama: Coming, mom. *leaves *
Koto: Where's Botan?
Yusuke: I think that's her up there.
Koto: Hello there, Botan. From here, we can say that Kurama won't come to your date which means you were stood up for the 2nd time. How does it feel?
Botan: *has several of those veins in her forehead which is a sign of anger * So at least I got 1000 bucks.
Koto: No. That's only for dating purposes so no date, no money.
Suzuki: *fanning himself with all the money he raised * Hooooo! I'm rich.
Botan: Matte. What if I date Yusuke?
Koto: You're only allowed to date the winner.
Botan: Where did that Kurama go! When I get my hands on him I'll make him experience hell on earth!
Koto: He's gone now.
Yusuke: Watch out! She's on the rampage. Run for your lives!
*backstage *
Kuwabara: What's with you?
Yusuke: I think I know that "A woman must be tough" line that Botan said.
Kuwabara: Like what?
Yusuke: You'll know in the next topic.
A/N: Not much of an ending again. *sigh * If you didn't get what I said in the intro, here it is. It means that Koenma thinks Botan likes Kurama,who thinks Botan likes Hiei,who thinks Botan likes Yusuke, who thinks Botan likes Koenma. Pretty nifty, huh? The next topic is my personal favorite.Ja ne!
