In a dark room, sat a boy. The room, with only the light of the quarter moon's rays shining through, had been this boy's prison. The room was one of those rooms, that even being in it for a couple of minutes sent shivers up your spine and made knots in your stomach. But the boy was used to these types of room for his own house had many similar rooms. The thing that was bothering the boy was the intense silence and utter boredom that had met him the moment he had entered the room.
"Kanna?" he tried again in vain. "Ugh!..." he stated for the hundredth time that hour. He knew this fact for he had counted. 'I have to have a deck of card of something!' the boy thought to himself as he patted his pockets and at this moment luck seemed to be on his side, for he found a deck of card and a piece of gum. 'Ah! Cards! And Gum!' he thought as he put the gum in his mouth and opened the card. The first card at the top of the top of the deck was the joker. But the unusual thing was that it said 'Grim Reappear' at the bottom of the card and a picture of a very familiar blue haired, pink eyed, pilot of the river stix was staring back at the boy. 'Botan' he thought as he waked up to Kanna. "Care to play a game of cards?" he asked, but before she could answer, or ignore him, he dealt the cards and the game began.
{change of scenery: Back at campsite with the others}
Botan had just returned from her chat with Inuyasha. She sat down and then noticed that Kurama was making something over the fire. "Hey, What's that?" she asked him.
"Part of our dinner." he responded.
She got up and walked up to the pot but all she saw was boiling water. "Ugh...I know we have to be in top shape but only water seems a little extreme."
Kurama looked back at her sort of confused but then understood. "This is the water for the Ramen we are going to have. Can you please go and get the others? The food will be ready in three minutes."
"Sure!" she said and with that left to get Inuyasha first. But when she reached the tree he had been in it was empty. She looked around and then noticed the soul carriers and quickly knew where he had gone. She rushed to where Yusuke was and saw that he was in a deep conversation with Kagome. "Pssss" she said trying to get his attention, "Pssss" she tried again but no response. She picked up a pebble and tossed it to the back of his head.
"Yeah, and then Kuwabara was like Eikichi! And I got to her before they could hurt the cat." Yusuke said, retelling his first day back with the living., to the listing Kagome. Then suddenly he felt something hit him in the back of the head "Hey!" he said as he looked around.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked as he looked around. Yusuke then spotted Botan waving to him to come over to her. "Nothing, ugh....can you wait here for a minute?"
"Ugh...Sure." she said as Yusuke got up and walked into some bushes behind them.
"What's is it Botan? Can't you see I'm talking with my cousin." he said.
"Cousin?" she asked confused but decided to ask about that later. "Yusuke, Inuyasha's missing."
"So? Dog-breath can take care of himself." he said.
"No, that's not the problem. He went to see that horrible women Kikyo." she said then noticed Yusuke's confused faced and continued. "Kikyo, his last love." at this Yusuke looked a little upset. He never really had a great family lifestyle and now that he found out that he did have family he wanted to protect that as much as he protected his friends. And he wasn't going to let anything, no demons or dog-breath wanna be's, hurt Kagome because she was more than family she was his friend also.
"Look, I'll go find him, you stay here and make sure she doesn't go back to camp."
"But what will I say?" Botan said. At that Yusuke laughed. It had to be the first time in all the time that he knew her that she didn't have something to say. Usually you have to gag her just to get a word in the conversation.
"You'll think of something." he said and with that took off, but then he turned back to her. "Hahaha....Which way did he go?" he said. She pointed and then he left again.
Botan walked out toward Kagome and sat down. There was silence for a couple of seconds, mainly because Kagome hadn't noticed someone was next to her. She was staring out to the lake. She turned around and jumped back when she noticed Botan.
"Botan!? What are you doing here?" she asked as she noticed that Botan was no longer in her pink kimono, but in the Sagarashiki Jr. High's girl school uniform. "You go to Sagarashiki Jr. High, too?" she asked.
"Huh?" Botan said then looked down at what she was wearing. "Oh this. No I don't. But I used this when I have to go and get Yusuke for a case at school."
"Don't the teachers wonder who you are?"
"Huh...That never occurred to me, they never ask."
"You know, that was weird early with Kikyo, it looked like she was in pain."
"Kagome, what's the deal with her?" Botan asked but then saw how it affected her and said "Never mind."
"No, it's ok, she was/is Inuyasha love." she said. "She's Kaede's sister, a powerful Miko and they say I'm her reincarnation."
"You are?" Botan said as she took out the little book that she always had with her. She started to flip thought the pages.
"What's wrong?" Kagome said as she looked at her.
"Well, the one to handle reincarnations is King Enma, himself, but that would mean it would say so in my guide book. But you are fifteen and around that time King Enma started to go on vacations and left the job to Koenma-sama." she said then looked up at Kagome who looked like she didn't get the connection. "Koenma, was at that time obsessed with a game called 'Mario Brothers' and gave a lot of the work to me." again Kagome didn't follow. "I don't remember assigning any Miko reincarnations." she said. "Let's see Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, Houjo" Botan said as she flipped the pages.
"My friends....can I see?" Kagome asked.
"Sorry no can do." She said then kept passing the pages "Kuwabara, Keiko, Yusuke....I don't have you in my book"
"What does that mean?" Kagome said worried. "Aren't there other guides? Could I be in one of their books?"
"Yes there are other guides but this is the Master Copy of the guide books. I have everyone in here." she said and saw how Kagome looked worried. "Don't worry when Koenma-sama gets back we'll ask him." she said cheerfully.
"So Botan what's Koenma like?" Kagome asked out of curiosity
'A spoiled prince.' Botan thought but decided against that. He was her boss after all. "He's the Judge of the Dead, but he's a child."
'I guess she means A child at heart' Kagome thought as Botan started to tell her a memory hers.
~Flashback~
It was a bright office and sitting at a desk was Koenma and across from him Botan. Both looking down at a piece of paper with a marker in hand, concentrating both waiting for something, something very important to happen. At the side of the desk was the Oni, George, holding onto a small ball. Then there was a dramatic pause and then he called "I-25"
"Bingo!" Botan yelled as she marked it on her paper and walked up to George.
"Not Fair!" Koenma yelled as he jumped onto his desk. "I wasn't ready!" he said, in response Botan stuck out her tongue. "Don't you two have work to be done?" he said coldly.
"Cheer up! Koenma-sama. I'll give you a rematch. You're choice of game." she said happily.
"Alright I want to play a card game." Koenma said, knowing Botan was bad at card games. "I want to play Gin."
"Sure." Botan said as George started to deal the cards.
{hours later}
"Koenma-sama, what game are we playing again?" Botan asked, she looked exhausted. The light in the office had been replace by lamps and the clock in the corner of the room read 2:30 am.
"We're playing Gin."
"We are!" Botan said as she looked at her card and saw she had Gin. But she wasn't going to say she did because if she did she would be forced to a rematch and never be able to go home. She was basically a hostage at this point and the only way to get out was to let him win. She sighed and drew a card. He did the same. And nothing happen. 'I'm never going home am I?' she thought to herself. Koenma then knocked over the deck of cards off the desk and Botan took her chance. "I'll get them." she said to him cheerfully. She bent down and put her hand in so he would draw it, then took other cards and put the deck back in place. "Shall we?" she said then looked at her new hand and to her surprise she had Gin again. 'Ah! I even cheat for him and he can't win.' "Koenma Sir, might we finish this game at another time."
"No." was all he said.
'He's too concentrated on winning, he'll never win if he doesn't loosen up.' Botan thought.
After another 2 hours Koenma finally won. And.....
~End of Flashback~
"I was allowed to go home."
"I don't get it was he really that bad of a card player?" Kagome asked.
"The worst! He couldn't win if his life depended on it." Botan said.
{change of scenery: Naraku's Castle}
"Gin." a unemotionally voice said as a pale hand laid down the cards. Holding the card was Kanna, who although her face was strait, there could be seen a slight smile on her from beating the prince.
'Ugh! That's the 10th time she's beaten me.' "Ah! This means war!" Koenma said as he dealt the shuffled deck. At the end both he and Kanna both had 26 cards. "Okay, the rules are simple the higher card wins, you can't look at you cards before you throw." Koenma said knowing that he wasn't telling her all of the rules.
Suddenly the door of the room was pushed open and light filled the dark room. Among this light was a young boy.
"Naraku wishes to see you." he said clearly to Kanna, who looked back at Koenma and then back at the boy. "I'll take care of our guest." he said and with that Kanna left and he sat down.
"So who are you?" Koenma asked, sort of upset that he lost the chance to beat Kanna.
"Kohaku." he said unemotionally.
Koenma noticed that his eyes were empty, which meant his soul was either stolen or that he was being controlled by someone. Either way Koenma decided he was going to do something. He walked up to Kohaku and sat in front of him. Kohaku edged back and prepared for an attack but when Koenma did noting he relaxed and that's when Koenma took his chance. With his pacifier out of his mouth, he quickly put his hand over Kohaku's eyes and a blue light surrounded them. When the light cleared Kohaku was not conscience and Koenma had his pacifier back in his mouth.
Koenma walked out of the room and down the corridor but the truth was that he was way out of place. First off he was like 3 feet tall and he was wearing purple and pink, he might as well had a sign on his back that said 'notice me.'
He ducked in to another room, this time the room was light by a lamp instead of just the moonlight. Now the problem was that Kanna had taken most of his energy, but he did have enough to turn in to his adult form. But if he got into a fight he'd definitely loose because one: he doesn't fight and two: there would be no spirit energy left in him to defend himself. "I need a plan." he said aloud to himself. He started to look in his pockets again for anything that would increase his spirit power. Then he took of his hat and put it upside down on the floor and started taking stuff out of it. "Stapler, juice, extra pacifier, pair of shoes? How did that get in there? Oh well." he said as he continued looking. Out of the hat came a number of odd things from a sticker to a rubber ducky. "Rubber Ducky *squeek*, mirror to contact Botan, pencil, Cd, apple, goldfish....." Koenma stopped and looked to were he through the little compact mirror. He picked it up and checked to see if it still worked. Just as he was doing that the sun began to rise.
{change of scenery: somewhere in the country (we're with Inuyasha now)}
Inuyasha suddenly stopped. He was about twenty feet from where he had been pinned to for fifty years, where he had meet Kagome, and where he had told Kikyo how he really felt for Kagome. sigh 'What should I do? I don't want to be rude to Kikyo but I've probably already hurt Kagome by coming this far.' Inuyasha thought to himself as he sat the same way he always sat. He spotted a daisy near by and plucked it. 'Should I meet her, should I go back.' he thought to himself as he plucked the petals. Suddenly he spotted someone coming out of the bushes, he threw the flower far from him and stood with his arms crossed on top of the petals.
"Inuyasha, were is she?" a very upset looking Yusuke asked.
"She, who?" Inuyasha asked knowing perfectly well who he was talking about and who had told him.
"That girl, ugh...." Yusuke said then paused to think, to be truthful he had forgotten the name Botan had told him. "....Don't play stupid, you know who."
"Feh, can't a guy just take a run in forest with out being questioned?" Inuyasha said still standing perfectly still on the petals. Yusuke eyed him suspiciously. But suddenly they both heard someone groaning feet from where they were.
They both rushed forward and found themselves at a lake and in the clearing was a small black figure that was moving. They approached it carefully.
"Careful, it's a demon." Inuyasha said as he put his hand on his sword.
"No shit, Sherlock." Yusuke said back.
"Feh."
"Hn" the figure said.
"I know that 'Hn'" Yusuke said as he approached the figure and started to poke it. "Still alive Hiei?"
"Poke me again and you'll regret it." Hiei said as he sat up.
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Of corse. I, a really demon won't die from a pathetic attack from that wench Kagura." Hiei said.
"Feh, a real demon or not she still beat you." Inuyasha said looking down on Hiei. Hiei got up and picked up his sword, facing Inuyasha, who already had Tetsusaiga out.
Yusuke stepped between them and said "Children, if you can't play nice with each other I'll have to separate you." gaining him a death glare from Hiei and a hit on the head from Inuyasha. "Ow.....Anyway, Hiei what happened?"
"A boy with a chain and blade attacked my back and at the same time I was charging at Kagura who hit me with her attack."
"Oh so you were caught off guard, I guess being a full demon isn't what it used to be." Inuyasha said. Hiei glared daggers at him. 'Thank Kami-sama that looks can't kill, but he's still not scarier than Sango when upset.' Inuyasha thought.
"But I unlike you have found Naraku's castle." Hiei said with a smirk.
"Oh yeah were is it?" Inuyasha asked unbelieving.
"There." Hiei said as he turned around and pointed to a mountain in the distance.
"Feh...I don't see anything."
"There's a barrier around it. Stupid."
"Then how do you know?"
"Trust me I know, the Jigan always knows." Hiei said in his most creepy voice as the Jigan began to glow red behind his bandana.
'What the heck was that?' Inuyasha thought to himself.
"Anyway, we should let the others know were we are. Yusuke said as he took out the little mirror. As he was about to open it, it started to ring. "Ugh, hello."
"Yusuke....." Botan's voice came from the mirror and she look like she had something important to tell him.
{change of scenery: Lake with Kagome and Botan}
Hours had passed since Botan's first story but she had kept going determined to keep Kagome from finding out Inuyasha was missing. But even determination usually lost against sleep. Kagome had fallen a sleep long before but Botan was stubborn and was even taking in her sleep. She was mumbling something about Yukina, but as soon as she started her sentence Hiei's image appeared in her head and she shot up strait.
"What a horrible way to start the day!" she said as she yawned and stretched. She looked over a Kagome who was still asleep and then walked back to the campsite and saw Kurama sitting against a uneaten pot of Ramen. Sango was asleep, with Kirara and Shippo, clutching her boomerang while only feet away what Miroku, who looked a little to happy. Kuwabara was leaning against a tree with drool hanging from his mouth. Botan walked back to Kagome, who was still asleep and sat down just enjoying the silence and resting her voice. All of a sudden a beeping came from he pocket and Kagome was a wakened.
"What's that beeping?" She asked rubbing her eyes.
"Probably Yusuke." Botan said as she took out the little mirror.
"Isn't he at camp." she said.
"Ugh....." Botan said not answering Kagome and turning her attention to mirror. "Hello."
"Botan, it's me." Koenma whispered on the other end.
"Koenma-sama! I so glad you're alright!" Botan said happily.
"SHHHH! Not so loud I'm still here at Naraku's."
"Oh, sorry." Botan said as Kagome walked behind her to look a Koenma. He was about sixteen and had a tattoo that said Jr. on it but besides that he was normal.
"Botan, from what I can tell the castle's in Mt. Hiei, but there's a barrier around it. I only have a little Spirit Energy left, but it's enough to get the barrier open. So get her quickly." and with that the screen went black.
Botan opened and closed the mirror and called Yusuke.
"Ugh, hello." he said.
"Yusuke, Naraku's castle is in Mt. Hiei and Koenma's going to open the barrier for us."
"Fine, get everyone here and we'll go save pacifier breath." Yusuke said and with that the screen went black.
"I don't get it why does he call him pacifier breath?" Kagome saked.
"Ugh......"

"What's is it Botan? Can't you see I'm talking with my cousin." he said.
"Cousin?" she asked confused but decided to ask about that later. "Yusuke, Inuyasha's missing."
"So? Dog-breath can take care of himself." he said.
"No, that's not the problem. He went to see that horrible women Kikyo." she said then noticed Yusuke's confused faced and continued. "Kikyo, his last love." at this Yusuke looked a little upset. He never really had a great family lifestyle and now that he found out that he did have family he wanted to protect that as much as he protected his friends. And he wasn't going to let anything, no demons or dog-breath wanna be's, hurt Kagome because she was more than family she was his friend also.

"What does that mean?" Kagome said worried. "Aren't there other guides? Could I be in one of their books?"
"Yes there are other guides but this is the Master Copy of the guide books. I have everyone in here." she said and saw how Kagome looked worried. "Don't worry when Koenma-sama gets back we'll ask him." she said cheerfully.

"No." was all he said.
'He's too concentrated on winning, he'll never win if he doesn't loosen up.' Botan thought.
After another 2 hours Koenma finally won. And.....
~End of Flashback~
"I was allowed to go home."
"I don't get it was he really that bad of a card player?" Kagome asked.
"The worst! He couldn't win if his life depended on it." Botan said.
{change of scenery: Naraku's Castle}
"Gin." a unemotionally voice said as a pale hand laid down the cards. Holding the card was Kanna, who although her face was strait, there could be seen a slight smile on her from beating the prince.
'Ugh! That's the 10th time she's beaten me.' "Ah! This means war!" Koenma said as he dealt the shuffled deck. At the end both he and Kanna both had 26 cards. "Okay, the rules are simple the higher card wins, you can't look at you cards before you throw." Koenma said knowing that he wasn't telling her all of the rules.
Suddenly the door of the room was pushed open and light filled the dark room. Among this light was a young boy.
"Naraku wishes to see you." he said clearly to Kanna, who looked back at Koenma and then back at the boy. "I'll take care of our guest." he said and with that Kanna left and he sat down.
"So who are you?" Koenma asked, sort of upset that he lost the chance to beat Kanna.
"Kohaku." he said unemotionally.
Koenma noticed that his eyes were empty, which meant his soul was either stolen or that he was being controlled by someone. Either way Koenma decided he was going to do something. He walked up to Kohaku and sat in front of him. Kohaku edged back and prepared for an attack but when Koenma did noting he relaxed and that's when Koenma took his chance. With his pacifier out of his mouth, he quickly put his hand over Kohaku's eyes and a blue light surrounded them.

"Rubber Ducky *squeek*, mirror to contact Botan, pencil, Cd, apple, goldfish....." Koenma stopped and looked to were he through the little compact mirror. He picked it up and checked to see if it still worked. Just as he was doing that the sun began to rise.
{change of scenery: somewhere in the country (we're with Inuyasha now)}
Inuyasha suddenly stopped. He was about twenty feet from where he had been pinned to for fifty years, where he had meet Kagome, and where he had told Kikyo how he really felt for Kagome. sigh 'What should I do? I don't want to be rude to Kikyo but I've probably already hurt Kagome by coming this far.' Inuyasha thought to himself as he sat the same way he always sat. He spotted a daisy near by and plucked it. 'Should I meet her, should I go back.' he thought to himself as he plucked the petals. Suddenly he spotted someone coming out of the bushes, he threw the flower far from him and stood with his arms crossed on top of the petals.
"Inuyasha, were is she?" a very upset looking Yusuke asked.
"She, who?" Inuyasha asked knowing perfectly well who he was talking about and who had told him.
"That girl, ugh...." Yusuke said then paused to think, to be truthful he had forgotten the name Botan had told him. "....Don't play stupid, you know who."
"Feh, can't a guy just take a run in forest with out being questioned?" Inuyasha said still standing perfectly still on the petals. Yusuke eyed him suspiciously. But suddenly they both heard someone groaning feet from where they were.
They both rushed forward and found themselves at a lake and in the clearing was a small black figure that was moving. They approached it carefully.
"Careful, it's a demon." Inuyasha said as he put his hand on his sword.
"No shit, Sherlock." Yusuke said back.
"Feh."
"Hn" the figure said.
"I know that 'Hn'" Yusuke said as he approached the figure and started to poke it. "Still alive Hiei?"
"Poke me again and you'll regret it." Hiei said as he sat up.
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Of corse. I, a really demon won't die from a pathetic attack from that wench Kagura." Hiei said.
"Feh, a real demon or not she still beat you." Inuyasha said looking down on Hiei. Hiei got up and picked up his sword, facing Inuyasha, who already had Tetsusaiga out.
Yusuke stepped between them and said "Children, if you can't play nice with each other I'll have to separate you." gaining him a death glare from Hiei and a hit on the head from Inuyasha. "Ow.....Anyway, Hiei what happened?"
"A boy with a chain and blade attacked my back and at the same time I was charging at Kagura who hit me with her attack."
"Oh so you were caught off guard, I guess being a full demon isn't what it used to be." Inuyasha said. Hiei glared daggers at him. 'Thank Kami-sama that looks can't kill, but he's still not scarier than Sango when upset.' Inuyasha thought.
"But I unlike you have found Naraku's castle." Hiei said with a smirk.
"Oh yeah were is it?" Inuyasha asked unbelieving.
"There." Hiei said as he turned around and pointed to a mountain in the distance.
"Feh...I don't see anything."
"There's a barrier around it. Stupid."
"Then how do you know?"
"Trust me I know, the Jigan always knows." Hiei said in his most creepy voice as the Jigan began to glow red behind his bandana.
'What the heck was that?' Inuyasha thought to himself.
"Anyway, we should let the others know were we are. Yusuke said as he took out the little mirror. As he was about to open it, it started to ring. "Ugh, hello."
"Yusuke....." Botan's voice came from the mirror and she look like she had something important to tell him.
{change of scenery: Lake with Kagome and Botan}
Hours had passed since Botan's first story but she had kept going determined to keep Kagome from finding out Inuyasha was missing. But even determination usually lost against sleep. Kagome had fallen a sleep long before but Botan was stubborn and was even taking in her sleep. She was mumbling something about Yukina, but as soon as she started her sentence Hiei's image appeared in her head and she shot up strait.
"What a horrible way to start the day!" she said as she yawned and stretched. She looked over a Kagome who was still asleep and then walked back to the campsite and saw Kurama sitting against a uneaten pot of Ramen. Sango was asleep, with Kirara and Shippo, clutching her boomerang while only feet away what Miroku, who looked a little to happy. Kuwabara was leaning against a tree with drool hanging from his mouth. Botan walked back to Kagome, who was still asleep and sat down just enjoying the silence and resting her voice. All of a sudden a beeping came from he pocket and Kagome was a wakened.
"What's that beeping?" She asked rubbing her eyes.
"Probably Yusuke." Botan said as she took out the little mirror.
"Isn't he at camp." she said.
"Ugh....." Botan said not answering Kagome and turning her attention to mirror. "Hello."
"Botan, it's me." Koenma whispered on the other end.
"Koenma-sama! I so glad you're alright!" Botan said happily.
"SHHHH! Not so loud I'm still here at Naraku's."
"Oh, sorry." Botan said as Kagome walked behind her to look a Koenma. He was about sixteen and had a tattoo that said Jr. on it but besides that he was normal.
"Botan, from what I can tell the castle's in Mt. Hiei, but there's a barrier around it. I only have a little Spirit Energy left, but it's enough to get the barrier open. So get her quickly." and with that the screen went black.
Botan opened and closed the mirror and called Yusuke.
"Ugh, hello." he said.
"Yusuke, Naraku's castle is in Mt. Hiei and Koenma's going to open the barrier for us."
"Fine, get everyone here and we'll go save pacifier breath." Yusuke said and with that the screen went black.
"I don't get it why does he call him pacifier breath?" Kagome saked.
"Ugh......"
