Well, hello! It's been awhile, hasn't it? I've been very busy, so I haven't had had time to update, and I know you all probably hate me... so, I'm updating now, for the sake of what's left of all our sanity. Enjoy! Oh, and a small side note: I know the entire thing about Genkai confused everyone, but I just wanted to say that I meant for this to be alternate universe, in my mind kinda thing. So, bear with me. Thanks!
As soon as Botan reached the small front yard of the cottage, her brand- new communicator (from Koenma) beeped loudly.
"Botan here," she said into it.
"Botan, I've got a new ferry girl here who needs to be trained. Her name's Emiliana."
"Oh, what a beautiful name! Well, thank you, Koenma. I should be back in a little bit.
"Right, well, that's all. See you in a bit."
Just as she had put her communicator away, Hiei and Genkai were coming out of the door. Hiei tried to shake her hand, but she forced him into a friendly hug.
"Come on, Hiei. Koenma wants us back at the palace," said Botan as Hiei walked up to her. Hiei said nothing.
They got on the oar and Botan waved back at Genkai as they rose higher and higher above the trees.
When they reached Koenma's office, they found Koenma and the new girl waiting for them.
Botan and Hiei just stared at Emiliana. Neither of them had expected her to be so pretty. She was a slender, yet not too slender girl, who looked to be about 14 or 15 years old. She had bright scarlet eyes and her auburn hair was short and boyish. He facial features were small, she was only about Hiei's height, and she was wearing a black kimono with a blood red dragon on the back. Her feet were bare, but the thing that caught Hiei's eye was the necklace hanging from Emiliana's neck. It was a silver dragon charm that was on a silver chain. It had what looked like rubies for eyes, which were slightly mesmerizing.
Botan moved forward to greet the young lady, but Hiei stayed where he was. He just stared at Emiliana. She looked at him and smiled warmly. Hie just snorted and looked away. Emiliana frowned. Botan saw this and followes her gaze. She saw Hiei walking away.
"Oh, don't worry, it's not you. That's just the way he is," she said reassuringly," He hasn't lived the easiest life in the world."
"How sad," said Emiliana," what about his life now? Why is he here?"
He was brutally murdered trying to save...someone," Botana had debated saying 'his sister', but had thought better of it. "Since he works for Koenma, he's being given the chance to be reborn into life."
"Is his body still intact?"
"Oh no. His skull was cracked in half and most of his bones were severely broken."
"Ouch," said Emiliana, rubbing the back of her head, "just picturing it makes my head hurt."
"Yes, well, it will take him a VERY long time to warm up to you, so just be patient with him. If you show enough understanding and potential he'll stop grunting at you," said Botan, grinning.
Botan looked around for Hiei and saw him walking out towards her suite. She motioned for Emiliana to follow her, and walked after Hiei.
Well? Good? No? Tell me, I'm dying to know!!
