Chapter 3
Maryann and Cindy began to shudder in fear as chants came from the mouths of the blue zombies. "What the hell is going on here?" Cindy asked,
"I don't know?" Maryann said and at that moment the door came crashing down. "Ahhh!" Maryann screamed as she saw one of the zombies entered the house.
"Hoshiko." he said in a dull, dead voice. "Hoshiko." He reiterated.
"What? Hoshiko?" Cindy asked no one in particular, "Is that Japanese?"
"Yes I think it is." Maryann answered. "But there are bigger things to worry about right now." She said.
"Oh, right." Cindy said as she looked for a way out. The rain became heavier and the winds howled and blew out the candles. Then there was silence and darkness all around. "What now" Cindy said in fear of the answer.
"Hn. Weaklings." Came a dark voice then the sound of a sword rang through the air. Maryann and Cindy were pushed out of the way. And all they could see were figures moving in the shadows. And in a flash of lighting it was over. "That was hardly worth my time." Said the voice.
Cindy felt a hand pull her up " It's okay. It's over." Said a gentle voice.
Then from behind came two more voices. "Hey you guys why didn't you save any for us?"
"Hn." The dark voice rang again. "Baka, you would have been to weak."
"What did you say, shrimp?" but the second shadow held him back.
"You can have them next time." He said
Then Botan walked in with a torch to light the room. Cindy and Maryann could see their rescuers. One was short with Spiked hair and a dark guise to him, a taller guy with long red hair, and a sweet look to him, yet it held in a horrifying power, but what? The last two just seemed to be average looking people. A boy with black bowl cut hair, and a second red head with short unkempt hair.
"Who are you guys?" Cindy asked
"May we have a seat?" The longhaired red head asked.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As they sat around many candles they began to divulge themselves. "As you know I am Botan." She continued in her happy tone, "this is Kurama." She said
"How do you do?" asked the longhaired redhead asked
"This is Hiei."
"Hn," was his only reply. And Botan continued
"Yusuke. And Kuwabara." She finished.
"Botan? Why didn't you wait for us after school?" Cindy wondered
"Well I'm a- well it's like - how should I put it? Ah, the grim reaper." She said. "I had souls to collect you know." Botan stated, "but I came back is soon as I could, and I saw that most of the people were being controlled by a strange force, and I went for help." Botan said proudly.
"So. Okay. I get up this morning with now worries," Cindy lied about no worries, "And we meet Botan, and then the people at school start to come at us with knives of what have you." Cindy said getting a little winded.
"Yep." Botan said rather worriless.
"Oh, just making sure." Cindy said a little uncomfortably, "So now what?" she asked
"We are going to visit Koenma." Botan said happily and they did just that.
