Hiya! I'm Nijiko-Chan and I'm writing this chapter. As you know, Frith wrote the other one, so now it's my turn. Ok, well, hope you like it, hope it's funny…or enjoyable…at least…;

Disclaimer: If I owned it…I wouldn't be writing this, I would be demanding the artists of the anime to put more K/B moments (or at least put one in!).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Botan squeezed her eyes shut as she ran at top speed through the darkness of the Hall of Mirrors. And yet she felt weird. Her cheeks were flushed as she recalled the further encounter with this "spirit". How many times have you ran away from a hot guy?

Hot? How could she even begin to think that this...this...ghost demon was hot? Even as she thought it out, the concept was utterly incomprehensible!

Demons were supposed to be ugly things with horns and jagged teeth...And ghosts...Every single ghost story known to man told of the horrifying ghost with silver blood stains and sallow expressions. With all this evidence, picturing the handsome ghost in her mind seemed unreal. But still...those features were undeniably...

'Gah! Stop thinking and RUN!'

Botan opened her eyes again. She had no idea where she was going. And her mind repeated the same statement as she ran on through the pitch black, hoping she didn't hit anything scary…or…creepy…or…crash into a horny visitor…ughhh. All she hoped was to at least find Hiei, so at least she'd know she wasn't alone, even if he wouldn't talk to her.

Botan ran…

And she ran…

And ran.

Until…she bumped into something! Her eyes ran over the shadowed face, and they snapped closed, fear setting in and tears starting to well in her eyes.

She fell back from the impact and landed roughly on her butt (which was no pleasant fall). Her body instantly curled and her arms went around her bent knees.

"Who…Wh…Who's there?" She asked bravely, opening her eyes a little, only to snap them back shut once they glanced quickly over the fore person.

"What's wrong?" Came from the face that stood within the darkness.

Male voice…was it…one of the boys? No, too rough, oh…. Botan could hear the ruffle of clothes as the face (and its body) kneeled beside her coiled body." I'm here. What's wrong?"

"Ahhh! Help! Get away!" She screamed, flinging her arm to hit the person beside her (a 'bonk' sound resonating from the impact). "Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei! Help!"

"Oww!" The person alongside her shrieked. She could hear him back away.

"What'ch you do that for?!" He boomed, causing Botan to cringe.

"Botan! Botan! Where are you?" A familiar voice echoed through the black surroundings.

'Yusuke.' Botan thought.

"Yusuke! Where are you?!" Botan screamed. She opened her eyes to the side, blocking whatever view was in front with her cupped hands. A black haired youth suddenly appeared at her side, his figure clear against the dimly lit atmosphere.

"What?!" He asked. His brown eyes glanced at her, her frightened state…and with a short gasp from the leader as he turned his attention to what Botan was looking away from…there came a long, long pause.

"Holy shit." He said, observing the scene. "What happened?"

Botan raised a shaking hand to point at the figure that she'd struck.

"A monster appeared!"

"Monster?" Yusuke said, a smirk starting to weave its way onto his face, and giggle beginning to escape from his lips. "What are you talking about?" Yusuke's conversation started to become a fit of laughter. "That's no monster!" He said with a chuckle, pointing to the figure.

Botan opened her pink eyes to glance bewildered at the man just a few feet from her.

And more snickers from the leader…

And to her surprise…

She saw…Kuwabara!

Poor thing, rubbing his cheek (which had a huge hand mark upon it) and he was on the ground, (atop his butt). Poor guy….

"Ehhh…Kuwabara! I'm sorry!" She walked on her knees over to him.

"Are you alright?" She asked, worry glinting in her eyes.

"Yeah…I'm alright." He replied. Botan offered her hands to help him get to his feet. She smiled at him as he took her hand, and as snickers were heard from Yusuke.

"Shouldn't you be holding hands with Yukina?" Yusuke teased.

"Shut up Yusuke." The two teens yelled back to him. "She's just tryin' to help me up." Kuwabara pulled on Botan's outstretched hand, and began to erect himself. Botan smiled an unsure gentle smile as she helped him up, feeling guilt set in. As he straightened up, Yusuke became calm and he cleared his throat, getting ready to explain something evidently.

"Anyways guys…the reason we're hear isn't for you guys to flirt,"

Yusuke commenced, receiving glares from his visible spectators, "We're really here to find that thief that was suppose to be in this area. No one knows where he is…so I suggest we start getting some leads."

"Come on, let us have some fun." Kuwabara said, following his friend off somewhere in the darkness, "Plus, why do we need him anyways?"

Botan sighed…and went underway of following Yusuke and his red haired companion. She blinked in the dim light as her eyes adjusted to the atmosphere; she hadn't even realized the lights had flickered on while she had closed her eyes. Hiei, followed after the two other teens and a 'hn' could be heard from him. Botan set her first step into motion of tailing the gang, when she heard something…inside her mind…(ooo…).

"So that's what you're doing. I would say you've done quite a good job."

Botan sweat-dropped. She looked around uncertainly for her addresser, (knowing him already), and whimpered a 'Where are you? Why won't you leave me alone? Were you listening to us?'

"Yes. And No, I won't leave you alone."

"Why?"

"Because, you're my only way out. From being chained to this ghostly life."

Botan gulped, and she hesitated before deciding to talk within her mind. 'How?'

"Because…your the one person who I can follow without detection from that annoying spirit detective."

"How?" She asked again.

"You are different…special… (Botan took a few steps toward the direction that the others had gone, she was sure she heard a purr come from the (hot!) stalker), you were selected to be my savior by the mirror."

Botan suddenly felt a tugging sensation in her brain, and it forced her head to turn toward a dark corner that seemed to light up with a blue-gray glow. That ghost (the hot one!), the fox…was standing by it. His transparent, (and hot), face was glaring back at her. Botan walked toward the mirror, it's glimmering surface reflecting her face, and the transparent (and hot…) fox demon within its frame. She traced her finger along the demon's reflection's…face. And she quickly drew it back at her own embarrassment of her own curiosity.

"Are you serious?" She asked, "I'm your savior?" Youko nodded.

"Look in the mirror." He said. Botan's pink eyes went back to the demon's face, his reflection…er…his body…I guess…moved in front of her, only to be reflected into the mirror's frame. But Botan couldn't see his reflection, she only saw…herself. And though he stood in front of her…she was lucky enough that he was a…(hot!) ghost, and she could see through him. Lucky her….

"I don't get it." She said, "Where are you?"

"You're looking at my reflection in the mirror."

"But it's me." Her eyes skimmed down to look at the plaque at the bottom: 'THE PERSON WHO WILL RESUSCITATE YOU' was at its bottom.

"Resuscitate?" She asked.

"To save." Youko replied.

"Ohhh…so I'm suppose to save you?

"Yes."

A moment of pause commenced.

"And from now on…I shall follow you until I am out of this spiritual imprisonment."

"What?!"
