Chapter 2: The Challenge
"YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Rando(A/n: Very OOC, ne?). Koenma hid behind his desk. "Look, Rando, I" "NO!!!!!!! NO, NO, AND MORE NO!!!!!" "Rando, listen, I" "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO WAY, IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS EVIL AND DIABOLICAL, NO!!!!!" "But, Rando, it's only for a few months! I mean, you've been to the Nigenkai* before, this isn't that big of a deal, right?" Rando glared at the demi-ruler. "Not a big deal. You think THIS ISN'T A BIG DEAL???????!!!!!!!!!!!" Koenma coughed uncomfortably, before saying, "Look, this wasn't my idea! It was my father's, and what he says goes!" Rando, sat down firmly in his seat. "You, a baby, expect me to go down to Nigenkai and live with a teenage nigen* female for half a year, and not kill everyone and everything in sight?" Koenma groaned, then turned into his teenage form. Rando blinked at him, before saying, "Well, look's like someone's been on steroids. What brand?" The former toddler growled, then coughed, before saying, "Look, INSANE KILLER, it's either this, or you stay in that cell of yours till your hair turns gray and you're old enough to move into a nigen retirement house!" Rando gave him the evil eye. Koenma ignored this, and continued, saying, "Well, Rando? What'll it be?" Rando thought for a moment, then said coolly, "When can I go?" Koenma smiled ever so slightly with relief, then said, "As soon as we contact her and let her know you'll be staying with her. Oh yeah, we also have to." His arm shot out, put an earring on his right ear, much to the demon's surprise and displeasure, "activate a stopping spell on you." Rando snarled and reached out to.well, I'd rather not say what he wanted to do, but anyways, Koenma just looked at him, before saying, "Psycho." The earring glowed, and Rando kissed the ground. Translation: He fell REALLY hard on the ground. Ouch. Rando spat out some dust then looked up at the smug Koenma. "What the f--- was that?" "A stopping spell. Whenever someone says, Psy-" Rando growled. "Er, well, whenever someone says You Know What, you basically.drop like a stone." Rando tugged at it, and growled when he met an electric shock. "You also can't take it off." Rando got to his feet and looked at Koenma. "If it weren't for this stupid charm I'd kill you right now." Koenma just sighed. "I know. NOW that that's all over with," A hole opened up beneath the surprised Rando, and he fell in, swearing all the way, Koenma yelled after him, "we need to put you incognito for your trip!" "KOENMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He just smirked and walked away to find Botan. 'When I'm good, I'm GOOD,' he thought to himself.
Now we meet the heroine of our story. 15-year old Yuuki* Ookami*. Long dark brown hair with blue bangs(they were dyed), with forest green eyes mixed with navy blue. About 5 foot 8. Priestess-in training at her family shrine. Outgoing, active, smart, kind, and generally in control of her actions. She was afraid of dead spirits, her insane(in her opinion) grandfather, and spiders. She liked video games, fanfiction, drawing manga, J-pop and Evanescence, and anime. Your typical teenage girl living in Tokyo. Did I mention she kicked ass if given the chance? Now back to the story.
She was coming home from school (A/n: she goes to the same school as Yusuke and Kuwabara, but I forgot what it's called) one day in the spring, when a blue haired girl's face appeared in front of her own. "Hello, Yuuki!" The afore mentioned girl gave a little shriek and stepped back. "Who are you? And how did you know my name?" She then noticed that the girl had pink eyes, wore a kimono, and was riding an oar. "And how the heck are you riding that thing?" The girl smiled. "I'm Botan, ferry girl for the Reikai*! Nice to meet you, Yuuki!" Yuuki paled before dropping on all fours and bowing. Thankfully they were alone. "A spirit! Have I done something wrong, and are you going to take over my body?" Botan sweatdropped. "Of course, not, silly! I have a message for you!" Yuuki peered up. "A message? From who?" "You'll find out soon enough!" said Botan happily. Out of her right sleeve she pulled out a black tape. "Can we go to your house and watch it?" Yuuki slowly nodded. "Um, I guess. Nobody should be home right now." "Good! Now let's go!" Botan grabbed Yuuki, put her behind her on the oar, and zoomed off to the Ookami family shrine, Yuuki screaming all the way. But like I said, fortunately no one saw them. They reached the shrine, and Botan steered her oar up the steps, and then deposited the hysterical girl at the top. "Here we are! Um, Yuuki, are you alright?" The teenager was currently on her back staring up at the sky with her eyes looking like saucers. Botan sweatdropped. Yuuki shook her head, and got up unsteadily. "Lady-" "It's Botan." "Botan, then, please warn me before you do that again." Botan nodded. "Now, let's head inside. The TV's in the family room."
The girls walked inside, took off their shoes, and entered the large, comfy room. Botan went and put the tape into the VCR, and both girls plopped in front of the TV. After a moment, Koenma's face appeared on the screen. "Greetings, Yuuki. I am Lord Koenma, ruler of Reikai. I've sent you this message because I need to ask you a favor." Yuuki blinked. A favor? What kind of favor? And why was the great ruler of Reikai a talking baby with a pacifier? "I am NOT a baby. I'm well over 700 years old." Yuuki gaped at the screen. "Well anyways, the favor I need to ask you is to." he looked uncomfortable for a moment, then said "to watch over a youkai* named Rando." Botan gasped and looked like she wanted to faint. Yuuki stared at the screen. "He is a very dangerous demon who, in the past, took the lives of 99 psychics and stole their abilities. He was captured last year by one of our agent's, but now my father, Lord Enma, is giving him another chance. If you agree, he will stay at your shrine for 6 months, while we observe his behavior. If he becomes good, he will be freed. If not, he goes back to the slammer. Don't worry, we placed a stopping spell on him earlier today, if you say 'Psycho'" A large crash was heard in the background "He'll hit the dirt like an elephant." Botan gaped, while Yuuki giggled a little. "I think I could do it," she said quietly. Koenma beamed. "Excellent. Here's a picture of him" A picture appeared on the screen. Yuuki blinked. She saw a male with long red hair and cold, dark eyes. His skin was tanned, and there were black tattoo's all over his body. He was shirtless, but he wore a belt and baggy pants. His ears were pointed, and his right one had an earring. "That's a demon?" she said curiously. Botan nodded. "Yes, why?" "Well, I thought he would have fangs, or three eyes, or decaying skin, or something. He look's almost human." "Well, many demon's DO look almost human," said Botan. They both turned their head's back towards the screen. "Rando will be at your shrine tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Botan will bring him" the ferry girl paled, "and our Poltergeist team will meet you to help you control him. Thank you, Yuuki. And please don't tell anyone about this." She nodded, and right before the screen blacked out, she could have sworn she heard someone yell bloody murder at Koenma, who blanched in fright.
Botan removed the tape, and both girls sat there for a moment. "Well," said Botan in a forced, cheerful tone," I've got to go back to Reikai now! See you tomorrow, Yuuki!" Yuuki nodded, and they walked to the entrance of the house. Botan summoned her oar (and earned a look from Yuuki) said good bye, and soared into the sky before disappearing. Yuuki sighed. 'How the hell did I get myself into this mess?' she thought.
