Spirit patted Miko's back affectionately. "You know he's a stupid git."
"Yeah I know." Miko said, calmly. Kurama was stirring something in a pan.
Samara crossed her arm and held her head high. "I don't understand why he's on the team. Is he supposed to be the best?"
Yusuke shrugged. "Were all going to find a way to like him alright? Either that or we lose on the first round."
Botan nodded. "I want to kill him just like the rest of us but," Botan shrugged. "we have to win this."
There was a pause.
"I think, Tenshi might be a big help." Spirit said slowly. Mai choked on her water.
"Help?" Spirit nodded.
"Koenma thought he was the best person for the job so even though he's a cheating horrid man, I'll try." Samara made a teary face.
"Aww tear." Spirit whacked her with a spoon. Kurama took a sip from the pot and made a face. He started pouring in some spices behind Spirit's back.
"Well, I know some people won't be able to work with it so I got an idea." Botan said happily. She lifted up the pot and started to walk outside, followed by everyone. Tenshi was outside already, chewing on a grass blade.
"Hey is that dinner?" He asked. Botan nodded. "Wait here everyone! I'll be back." She climbed up a rocky hill and sat down once she got to the top. She took a spoon and grinned.
"I've been pouring out half of it while I was climbing up here. Now there is only enough for 5 people. The first team that successfully get's up here first gets to eat. Now since I'll be judging, it's out numbered. So Hiei's gonna join me up here!" Botan grin widen. Hiei was already sitting next to her. Mai, Spirit, Miko, and Samara looked at the four boys. Botan and Hiei watched them, hands entwined, as they stood still. There was a faint rustle of the grass and they started. Mai and Spirit led the team into a run, followed closely by the Urameshi team. Spirit stopped as her team ran ahead and begins to shoot her knives. Yusuke dodged and got close, punching her in the mouth. She recovered and gave him another scar on his cheek while tripping Kuwabara from run. She begin to run and was hit by Tenshi, who was holding a spirit sword.
"LOSER!" screamed Samara; she kicked Tenshi in the head. Kuwabara begin to fight her, dodging and punching back. Spirit stood up, hair a mess and her eyes burning for revenge. She held her hands a foot apart and a silver glowing ball appeared, growing larger and larger. She waited until she had a massive ball.
"SPIRIT BALL!!!!!!" Her scream was barely able to be heard, for once her silver energy hit the ground, dust appeared and sounds of loud cracks and tree's breaking could be heard. Hiei shielded Botan and the pot. Hiei waited until he knew it was safe to let go. Botan gasped. The ground had a large dent in it. She coughed slightly and squinted. 4 deformed shapes could be seen. Botan waited until the dust clear to see who it was.
Every member of the Urameshi team was either carrying or helping Owari. Everyone seemed to have deep bleeding or wounds. Botan slid down the hill and ran up to them.
"Is everyone okay?" asked Hiei. Samara nodded weakly.
"Come on, we have to clean everyone." Botan lifted the other side of Samara while Hiei drifted behind them, carrying the empty pot. After a while of cleaning and patching wounds, Everyone was now seated in the kitchen, where Botan was making a whole buffet of food.
"You know what surprises me, that blast." Tenshi said, he was laid on the floor. Mai nodded.
"Yep me too." Botan grinned. Her plan had work. Everyone was okay with each other, for the moment. Hiei watched as Botan chop something every once and a while and then stir this and mix that.
Spirit shuffled into the room. Botan turned from her soup and everyone got quiet. Spirit blinked.
"What happened to my soup?" She asked, sitting down next to Yusuke.
"Er, I spilled it." said Botan. "Sorry."
Spirit shrugged. "Full of crap anyways."
Kurama shook his head. "That's not true." He lied.
"I saw you put spices and all in it." Spirit started playing chess with the salt and pepper shakers. Mai and Miko gave each other worried glances.
"Spirit, about that spirit-" Tenshi started.
"If you didn't think I could muster all that spirit, then why did my parents give me the name Spirit?" Spirit interrupted Tenshi sharply.
Botan cleared her throat. "I think you did a great job."
Hiei gave a small nod. Samara grinned. "Kicked ass."
Kuwabara nodded. "Yeah!"
Tenshi gave a nod. "You sure did."
Spirit smiled. "Thank you."
Botan started to open cabinets and pull out dishes and spoons. Mai and Samara begin to serve the dishes and soon, everyone was sitting down. Botan did a quick head count and nodded. Yusuke gave a loud "Yeah!" and started to eat with both hands, one feeding him while the other one grabbing anything in reach.
"What's up for tomorrow?" Tenshi asked. Botan looked at Yusuke. He grunted.
"I don't know." Botan said quietly. Kuwabara looked up from his soup.
"What about playing video games?" Botan raised an eyebrow.
"Where are we going to get that?" Kuwabara pointed to boy's side of the house.
"I found one in the living room." Kuwabara said proudly.
Miko took a sip of her soda. Spirit and Mai, however, looked confused. "Video game?" Mai asked. She gave Spirit a confused looked. Spirit shrugged.
"You don't know what a video game is?!" Kuwabara asked surprise. Spirit and Mai shook their heads.
"I think I remember what a video is." Spirit said, squinting really hard.
"It's a device that lets you playing games." Kurama explained. Kuwabara looked at the both of them hard.
"How come you don't know about it?"
"Because we both died way before it." Mai said, taking a bit of chicken.
There was a horrible silence after that.
"You don't have to be sad about it!" Spirit said, waving her fork. "We don't care for it anymore really, you see we became ferry girls. I use to coach a wonderful kid, then he got older and then settled down."
"Yeah me too." Samara perked up. She took an egg roll.
"How old are you all?" asked Botan in amazement.
Mai took a glance at Spirit, who took a glance at Samara who shrugged. "We don't exactly know."
Botan smiled. "Me either. It's been a long time since I died."
"Wait. You are all happy you died?" Tenshi asked in surprise. Hiei faced the girls.
"Yeah!" They chorused together.
"I would have never have got to fight you." said Mai, smiling. She poked a spoon into jelly bowl.
"How do you all know each other?" Hiei asked, eating bread.
"Well, I'm Tenshi's first bitch." Samara said.
"Second." said Mai. She gave a hearty wink at Kuwabara.
"Third." Miko said.
"Fourth." Spirit smiled widely.
"Meaning I'm last." Botan guessed. Mai nodded.
"I'll confess. I think Spirit and Botan and better then all of us." Samara declared. Yusuke raised his coke.
"Hear hear." He said sarcastically. Hiei gave a grin.
"Me too." He said. Botan smiled.
"I don't think so." Spirit said. "You are wonderful."
Samara beamed. Botan looked at all those empty plates.
"You ate all the food. Meaning I guess we can do what ever." Botan pushed back her chair. The sound of nine other chairs scraping on the tiled floor could be heard.
"Dibs on first game!" Yusuke yelled. Kuwabara raced after him with Kurama walked slowly behind them. Hiei and Botan gave a quick kiss before he walked after them. Botan turned to Miko, Mai, Samara, and Spirit.
"What do you want to do now?" She asked.
"Sleep!" Spirit groaned. Mai, Samara and Miko nodded with her. Botan shrugged and they begin up the staircase. Botan opened a door and beamed at the sight. 5 warm, inviting beds were all lined up, a hallway inside led to a dressing room and a bathroom. Spirit and Miko jumped at the chance and dived into the middle beds. Botan sat down on another middle one and Samara and Mai took the ends.
"We stink." Miko said.
"Yeah well, too bad." Samara said.
"Is that how you say goodnight?" Botan asked. Mai flicked off the lights and soon they were laying down in the dark.
"I bet so." Mai laughed.
"Alright, if I don't get sleep. I'll have to hurt someone." Samara said. "Nights."
"Good-night." Miko said.
"Nightly nights." Mai said.
"Sweet dreams." Spirit said.
"See ya in the morning." Botan said. She gave a sigh and rolled over.
"Botan?" Spirit's voice asked.
"Yeah?"
"Do not ever lose sight of Hiei. You might find out if you don't rest, you might lose him." She said seriously. Botan was surprised.
"Okay." She said finally. Even though she couldn't see them, but she knew everyone heard. She knew they understood what they said; the only thing is that SHE doesn't know what it means.
Botan gave another sigh and closed her eyes. Before she knew it, her mind slipped and she fell into a deep sleep.
"Yeah I know." Miko said, calmly. Kurama was stirring something in a pan.
Samara crossed her arm and held her head high. "I don't understand why he's on the team. Is he supposed to be the best?"
