Chapter 2

"Yeah, and then they all saw a pool of red blood in the water!!"
"Hate to be that guy.heh heh"
Urameshi Yusuke and Kuzume Kuwabara were heading for their school, Sarayashiki Junior High, discussing a movie that they saw the night before on pay-per-view. They already planned to skip that day, but they both agreed on faking sick first. They had better things to do.
Earlier that day, Keonma had called them so they could meet his new ferry girl.
"What's so great about this ferry girl?" asked Kuwabara stupidly (XP) over the phone.
"Who cares??" shouted Yusuke, punching his first into the air above his head.
"Besides," stated Yusuke, holding up his fore finger. "Today's Friday and Friday is the official skipping day on my calendar. " Yusuke grinned evilly while Kuwabara sweatdropped.

After faking sick, the boys ran out of the school's office and sat down on a bench in the City Park. Mr. Takanaka, the school's principal, didn't really buy their absolutely obvious fake coughs and gags. But before a word came out of his mouth, they were gone.
After about 25 minutes, Botan, Keonma's number one ferry girl, landed in front of the two middle school boys who were sound asleep, spit running down their chins and onto the cement floor.
"Hmmm." Botan said out loud, thinking of the perfect scheme to wake them both up without any physical contact.
"Oh, I know.KEIKO, YUKINA, WHERE ARE YOUR CLOTHES???!!!!!"
Kuwabara and Yusuke's head shot up, looking in every direction.
Botan giggle, putting her hand on Yusuke's shoulder.
"Now now boys, that's enough."
They both sighed, feeling somewhat ashamed of how pervertive their little 'act' was.
"What was that all about?" Yusuke asked, using the back of his hand to wipe the drool off of his chin.
"Yeah!" exclaimed Kuwabara. "I didn't buy it for a second!"
"Oh puh-leaze" exclaimed Botan, looking at Kuwa with pity. "There was more drool coming out of your mouth at that time, even when you were sleeping!"
They all argued a bit more but after a while, Botan just took them all up to the Reikai, straight into Keonma'a office.
~
When they reached the office, they discovered many brightly covered couches were placed randomly around the room.
Botan left the room, leaving Yusuke and Kuwabara by themselves.
As they both started to sit down, they noticed Kurama and Hiei sitting together on the red couch that was closest to Keonma's desk. Kurama was drinking tea and Hiei was staring at random inanimate objects.
They walked over the the couch across from theirs.
"Yo," proclaimed Yusuke as he plopped himself on the couch. "What's up guys?"
"Nothing much." said Kurama, after taking a sip of his tea.
"So I guess you got the same message from Keonma.?"
Kurama nodded.
The second after Kurama's reply, they all heard the door open. They turned around, still sitting on their couches, and turned their attention to the people walking through the door.
Botan was talking to a girl they neither of them had ever seen before, in a high pitched, hyperactive voice. The girl didn't seem to be paying attention, or caring, but she nodded each time Botan stopped to take a breath.
They both walked over to the Reikai Tentai were settled and Botan said," Well guys, this is Eikouna!"
They all took a good look at this 'Eikouna' character: She was about an inch or so shorter than Hiei and she had dark purple hair that reached to her waist. Her golden eyes had a bored 'I'd-rather-no-be-here-right-now' look in them and she was wearing a black tank top, a dark red cloth like coat, a dark blue mini skirt, with white ankle socks and black sneakers. The title of 'The Grim Reaper' would've fit her well, but sadly, Botan was already holding the name.
They all introduced each other and Eikouna sat down next to Hiei.
"Well Eikouna, why don't you tell us a little about yourself?" Botan grinned and clapped her hands together.
"Hn, there's not much to say," started Eikouna. Her voice was somewhat deep and sounded like Kuwabara sister Shizuru's, except slightly higher. "I was raised in the Makai for a couple of years but then I was sent to the Ningenkai. I always hated that place..
Botan's eyes widen. She knew that more rude remarks were about to some so she cut her off.
"That's nice..But you know there are some humans in here at the moment."
"Yeah, I know," snapped Eikouna, pointing to Kuwabara and Yusuke, who were looking at the girls with interest. An argument was coming.
"Alright, I was just trying to be polite!" growled Botan, standing up from her next, which was next to Yusuke. Eikouna smiled in amusement. "Now isn't this one pathetic?"
"Yup, but kindness can sometimes be a burden, ne?" replied Eikouna calmly, ignoring the look on Botan's face. An angercross popped onto Botan's head as Eikouna laughed.
She then got up, heading for the door.
As she was about to reach out to open the door, she turned around, looking at Botan who was still standing up and was looking both confused and angry at the same time.
"Well Botan, I have to go now. I have something called a life. From the looks of it, you haven't gotten one yet."
She turned to the boys and smiled warmly. "Oh yes, and nice meeting you all. Ja ne."
With that, she opened the door and walked out, leaving the bunch dumbfounded.
"Wow, she's good." laughed Yusuke. "She told you SO HARD Botan!"
Botan growled and sat back down, feeling pathetic that she has just lost an argument in front of her friends and losing it to a new comer. "I'll get that girl someday."
"Hate to be that guy.heh heh"
