Chapter 12
Truth of Botan
Yusuke's demon watch was beeping frantically as he passed a dark alley between an arcade and a restaurant. He watched in darkness as he saw a woman in a wearing a black hood beating up someone, the woman talking in a somewhat familiar voice. "For the last time, where is the angel spirit?" she asked the person, slamming him against the wall hard again. "I...won't tell...you," the young man whispered, glaring at the woman. The woman gave up, threw hard on the concrete then took some kind of communicator. At first, she looked around then spoke in some strange language Yusuke didn't understand...or he wasn't listening properly.
"Is everything going according to plan?" she asked her assistant coldly and the demon shook his head slowly. "They all are watching me pretty good, I can't even get a word out of her!" the demon yelled and became his real form. "This disguise is killing me." The woman hissed at him, baring her fangs and glared at him. "Do whatever you can, just don't screw this up! I want that girl out of their grasp as soon as possible, and when you do...kill her in any way you want! NOW!!!" the woman and shut off the communicator.
Yusuke jumped when someone touched him, and he turned around to see Botan giving him a strange look. "It's not nice to eavesdrop on someone you know," she whispered impatiently and released her hand. "Where have you been Botan...sightseeing?" he asked sarcastically, folding his arms across his chest. She looked away from him and explained in a low voice. "I went to the Spirit World to give some information on this case so far," she said calmly and Yusuke nearly snapped. "BUT EVERYONE THERE IS DEAD BOTAN!" he said aloud, ignoring the staring people and dragged her into the alleyway. She turned on the communicator and Koenma appeared on the communicator. "Well well Yusuke, I see your mission a tough one, but I'll let you two work out your differences," he said and the communicator's screen went blank. 'That's not the way Koenma acts around us, not like that,' Yusuke thought to himself, studying Botan carefully. 'I know she's on to something...but what?' She started walking past the unconscious person and started towards Yusuke's house. "Botan wait, what about this person? We can't just leave him here to die!" he called to her and she turned and walked right up in front of him. "Just leave him, he tried to jump me," she whispered coldly and started walking again without another word. But Yusuke didn't follow, he knelt beside the unconscious person. He dragged him out into the streetlights and stared...at Kurama! 'This is Kurama, but how?' Suddenly, it was clear to him at last...the Kurama at Kuwbara's house is a demon! He picked up Kurama and caught up with Botan. "Botan, what do you mean Kurama jumped you?" he pressed, making her turn around. She gasped, screaming quietly. "I had no idea it was Kurama, what have I done?" she asked herself, taking him in her arms. "WAIT BOTAN, YOU KNOW SOMETHING!" Yusuke yelled and stepped in front of her.
"What do you know about these vampires that are trying to kill Sapphire?"
"Not much, but all I know is that they can possess anyone they want."
"THAT'S A LIE!"
"Why would I lie to you Yusuke?"
"Because you hate Sapphire for some reason!"
"I hate her because she's getting in the way of the mission!"
"Give me a damn break Botan, you're never this selfish."
"Kurama's mine and she doesn't deserve him!"
Her laughter enraged him even more and he slapped her across the face, leaving an ugly mark. "How can you be selfish about succeeding a mission? Why are you taking this so seriously?" She didn't say anymore, just dropped Kurama and slammed Yusuke against the wall, choking him with one hand and the other held his left shoulder firmly.
"Let's get one thing straight Yusuke, if she ever gets in the way again...I'll kill her myself," she whispered angrily, slightly hissing at him. Yusuke was shocked by what she said and now understood everything. "That's why you made her jump at the pool, to get rid of her!" he said in a low tone, escaping from her grip easily and coughed a couple of times. She just stood in front of him, her glare never leaving him for one second. "Take Kurama back to your place, I'm out of here," she said finally, walked back into the alleyway and flew off into the night on her oar. For a while, Yusuke was shocked and enraged at the same time.
'Now I know why she hates Sapphire so much, but I still don't understand how that vampire bit her that day at the pool,' he said to himself, opening the door to his apartment where the others were waiting. "Yusuke, what happened to Kurama?" Hiei asked calmly, looking at him with expressionless eyes. "I found Botan, and she said he tried to jump her in an alley not far from here. But I didn't believe her," he explained, disappearing into his room. 'I understand everything now Botan,' he said to himself as he grabbed some bandages for Kurama. 'You know something about the vampires don't you? And I swear I will find out!' Just then, he heard screaming outside his room. Then he heard hissing and hoarse voices, the voices of vampires.
