Botan began babbling about journeys that this Spirit Detective guy had been on, and half way through their walk to this meeting place she spoke of, Sona popped in her headset and ignored all that she raved about. About fifteen maybe twenty minutes later they arrived at an apartment building, and she turned off her headset. Botan turned to her when they stood in front of an apartment door.
"This is the spot. Kuwabarra lives here." she knocked on the door. A woman with long brown hair answered the door. " Hey Shizuru." Botan greeted her friend.
"Hey Botan." Shizuru looked at Sona oddly "This your friend?"
"Yes, this is Sona." Sona and Shizuru exchanged "Hello's" and "Nice to meet yous'", then entered.
Already inside were four guys. They looked at her the same way Shizuru had.
"So your the bad ass powerful demon." a guy with fifty style orange hair said.
Sona sighed and said sarcastically "Sorry to ruin your visions of a blood thirsty, green skinned demon, with fangs and horn in the middle of her head."
The guy with long red hair and the other two with black hair laughed.
"She's got you there Kuwabarra!" said the boy with black slicked back hair.
"Okay everybody! This is our new friend Sona!" Botan introduced in a very lame way.
Sona snickered and said "You sound like an inspirational speaker I once beat the hell out of." she paused "Yeah, I'm Sona , and for the amount of time I've known you," she turned to Botan "I cannot personally call you a friend, since I don't you that well."
"But I practically told you my life story on the way over here." Botan wined.
"Sorry, you could have screamed bloody murder and I wouldn't have heard it over my CD player." she flashed Botan her headset.
"Well I never." Botan turned up her nose. "You are one of the most inconsiderate people I've ever known."
"I get that a lot." Sona smiled and turned to them "Since she's busy gloating, who are you guys?"
"Kuwabarra! The toughest kid at Sorioski Jr. High." the dimwitted orange haired guy said.
"I'm Yuske, the real tough guy." the guy with slicked back black hair said.
"Kurama." said the boy with long red hair. "and this is Hiei." he added while nodding to the last boy standing in the corner.
"Nice to meet you." she said acknowledging them.
"So have the big death touch thingy that Botan told us about?" Kuwabarra said while not thinking about what he said.
"Ha! Death touch thingy. Are the idiot of this group?" Sona implied. Yuske slapped Kuwabarra on the back while laughing.
"Yeah well, at least I'm not dressed like the queen of darkness." he shot back.
"If you were dressed like the queen of darkness, that would be drag now wouldn't it?" she replied.
"You wanna take this outside?" he asked in the most manly voice he could gather.
"Thought you didn't fight girls Kuwabarra?" Yuske asked.
"Well I can't tell if this is a girl or not." he laughed a couple times, until Sona punched him in the stomach. "Owww!"
"If it makes you feel any better, I didn't aim for any vital organs. And it could be worse I could have kneed you." Sona assured him then turned to Shizuru "Sorry to cause a hassel."
"Its okay. He was being an ass." she said while setting down some colas.
"Oww!" Kuwabarra cried while rolling on the floor.
"No offense but, your a bit of a wuss." she said while bending over to press a nerve on his neck. He passed out.
"Wait! What did you do to him?!" Botan demanded.
"I put him to sleep. Wake him up if you want to, I just did it to stop his belly aching." sha said while sitting down on the couch that Kurama was on.
Botan slapped the passed out moron, and he shot up quickly. "Ahh! Don't touch me ever again! You wierdo!" he screamed at her.
"No problem with that."
"Your just a cocky, freak." he muttered.
"Yeah, a cocky freak that kicked your ass." Hiei smirked.
"Whatch it shorty!"
Bults of lightning flew between Hiei and Kuwabarra's eyes.
"Okay, lets stop the madness, and just get along." Botan tried to enforce some kind of group hug, but failed in all attempts.
"So Botan, when do I get to meet this all powerful Koenma?" Sona said changing the subject.
"Oh, later, he's a very busy man."
"Man... yeah right..." Yuske laughed along with Kuwabarra on this one.
"Hush up you two!" Botan fixed herself sitting across from Sona "There is only one thing we have to do first." She smiled.
"And that would be?" Sona questioned.
"Make over!" Botan screamed. Sona fell on her face.
"If by that you mean make up, and tight pants, you will die before that happens." Sona yelled back at her as she pulled herself back up.
"Well your mother is a very rich women. Don't you think the moment you left the house last night she hired people, very experienced people, to find you?" Botan explained.
Sona got up and started to pace slightly. "But why would she give a damn." she asked herself, not knowing Botan would answer her.
"Because your worth alot of money if you pass on after your sixteenth birthday." Botan blurted out.
It was now obvious to her now that not everyone in the room had been clued in on her entire life's story. Just by the baffled looks on everyones face, except for Botan and herself, she could tell they might need explanations that Sona herself couldn't really give.
"So, I turn sixteen in a month and a half." she looked at Botan "I just made it a little easier for her to kill me off. Dammit! I should have known she would do this." Sona stopped pacing. "Give me a make over if you want to, but I'll need something else."
"Alright, what do you need?" Botan asked.
She bent down close to Botan. "It might be hard to get it. My mother donated something to a museum here in Tokyo that belonged to my father." Sona pulled out a small piece of paper with a picture drawn on it in great detailing. "It's a Shinobi blade. A rare Japanese sword, that my father had used in battle. When I was born it was to be left to me, as a birthday present. Instead mother sold it for a bundle and just gave me the letter attatched to it." She turned a lamp on next to the couch and held the letter up to it. As if by magic, red letters appeared behind it. Sona read aloud the hidden message "This is your fate my child, all the power hidden in you can be awoken by using this weapon. Hold it dear to you, it will help the lies around you unravel." she stopped there. The rest of the letter had been for her eyes only. The rest said:
Don't let the pressure of this life break you. Fight with your heart not your strength. And always remember that I'm with you in your blood and spirit. I know you'll probably never understand why you can't be with me
Your Father,
Taei
"Don't worry, we have friends in high places." Botan assured her while studying the picture of the sword. "That looks dangerous." she mumbled while giving the letter back to her.
Hiei, who was now standing behind her, looked the drawing. "That's not a girls sword." he said bluntly.
She studied him and replied "No its not," she paused and waited for her eyes to glow red dramaticly and added in an strange voice "its a demon's sword."
Hiei laughed and said "Nice. Most people don't come up with such colorful come backs. Personaly, I get the whole screwed up family life, but what I don't get is why your Father didn't leave his last name in the note."
She shot a dirty look at Hiei and said "Well that would make two of us." she said while her eyes faded and she tucked away the letter.
"This is the spot. Kuwabarra lives here." she knocked on the door. A woman with long brown hair answered the door. " Hey Shizuru." Botan greeted her friend.
"Hey Botan." Shizuru looked at Sona oddly "This your friend?"
"Yes, this is Sona." Sona and Shizuru exchanged "Hello's" and "Nice to meet yous'", then entered.
