The anti-bacterial spray stung like hell and they had nearly run out of bandages by the time that Rogue had finished dressing her wounds. Still, the fact that she was hurt was obvious, the blood was leaking through the gauze. Lucky for her nothing was broken.
As soon as they regrouped in the park, they waited patiently for Botan to take them to Spirit World. While they waited, Rogue began to realize that it might not be the best course of action if all of them left for Spirit World.
"Scarlet Witch, Ah was just thinking. If we split into groups we might have a better shot at finding Meibatsu," Rogue said thoughtfully. "For all we know, she could still be here in the Living World!"
"You've got a point," she replied. "If we split according to power, it would be safer."
"Yeah, like you and Kurama could check out the tower she escaped from, Boom-Boom, Yusuke and Kuwabara could talk to Koenma, and unfortunately, Ah could go with Hiei to make sure she ain't still here,"
"That isn't such a bad idea," Kurama agreed. He had been listening in on their conversation and planning. Actually, he was rather surprised that they had been able to come up with a plan that made sense. If he were just going by first impressions, he never would've pegged them as the planning type.
"You gotta be kidding! Rogue! I hate studying!" Boom-boom whined.
"Ya'll best be quiet, sugah, or Ah'll smack ya so hard Kuwabara will feel it!"
"Then why don't you just hit him?"
"Yeah…say what?!" Kuwabara shouted offended.
"Gawd ya're slow!"
"I've been telling him that since the day we first met," Hiei snickered.
"Ah, hello there!" Botan called from above. Rogue shuddered; she hated people that were overly cheerful. It was just one of a few reasons she was glad the mansion was destroyed. When it had been rebuilt, they had all been given their own rooms and Rogue was very happy that she didn't have to share with Kitty anymore. Her marathon phone calls, pop music, and girlie magazines had made Rogue consider jumping off the cliffs behind the mansion on more then one occasion.
While taking a look at the blue haired, purpled eyed girl, she felt a little home sick. Botan looked surprisingly similar to Kitty. Freaky.
"There has been a change of plans, I apologize if this is inconvenient," Kurama said stepping forward. "Rogue and Scarlet Witch have come up with a rather appealing plan. We're splitting according to power, Boom-Boom, Yusuke, and Kuwabara will be going with you to see Koenma. Rogue and Hiei, being the fastest, will scout the area to be sure that Meibatsu still isn't around and I, accompanied by Scarlet Witch, will go to the security tower."
"What? I never agreed to such an arrangement!" Hiei shouted indignantly.
"My, what a wonderful idea!" Botan cheered clapping her hands. "Besides, Koenma is very busy and three of you is plenty."
"All right then, we got a plan. Scarlet Witch, Boom-Boom, take these," Rogue said holding two devices to them. They looked like the headphones that hooked around the ear with a small microphone set close to their mouths.
"Ever since that incident when Nightcrawler got caught in another dimension, Forge has been workin' on these little babies. They're inter-dimensional communicators, in case something goes wrong or ya find out something important,"
"Cool, do these have long distance calling?" Boom-Boom asked grinning. Rogue scowled angrily, and she quickly recoiled, laughing in embarrassment.
