Jin began shaking Botan
by shoulders roughly, "Where is 'e?! A' leas' take me ta'
Koenma-sama! Mebbe, 'E'll tell me sumat'!" He yelled, and Botan
quailed under him. God, but Jin was violent when the mood struck
him!
"I'll
take you to Koenma-sama then Jin, but it won't do any good!" She
yelled at him. He stopped shaking her and nodded with a
huff.
"C'mon,
le's go!" he said, flying off towards Koenma's castle. Botan
followed quickly. Since time passed differently in the Reikai, Jin
wasn't sure how long it took to get there, but it was too long. Botan
lead him back to Koenma, looking quite miffed. She pushed open the
door to his office, which, surprisingly, was not full of ogre's
trying to get Koenma to sign this or approve that.
"Botan?
Jin? What's up?" Koenma asked, his brow furrowed very
slightly.
"Where's
Touya, ya' 'av ta' know!" Jin said, sounding
desperate.
"Why?"
asked Koenma, raising an eyebrow quizzically.
Jin
sighed in exasperation; he'd already been through this! "I
needa' 'pologize!" he growled.
Behind Jin, Botan shook
her head. Koenma sighed. "Even if we knew Jin, we couldn't tell
you. There are strict rules about information, and the location of
people such as former members of the Shinobi is not something given
lightly. Even to you." Koenma added when Jin looked about to
argue.
Jin growled. "You KNOW where he is, pip-squeak.
Tell me, now." He commanded.
Koenma scowled behind the
ubiquitous pacifier. "Look Jin, I know why you're angry. But we
will not tell you where Touya is. He doesn't want to see you. You
hurt him, worse than you remember even. The best you can do for him
is leave him alone, forget about him. He's happy, and I think that's
what ALL of us want, right?"
"'Aight." Jin said
hopelessly. "Touya? 'E. 'E doesn't, doesn't want ta' see me?
At'all?" Koenma nodded. "You're sure? Does 'e really want
me gone?" Another nod. Jin nodded back. "Fine. Don't tell
'im I came then." Jin sighed and left, flying much more slowly
than before.
"I. I guess, I'll go ta' the Ningenkai.
Maybe, maybe I'll fin' 'im and I can jus'. jus' see 'e's ok."
Jin flew to the Ningenkai, and wandered disconsolately when he
arrived.
