Jin didn't fly long. He came to another small island, this time checking to be sure it was uninhabited. He landed and sat in a treetop, wondering what he would be best off doing. Then it occurred to him. Koenma. Koenma had jurisdiction over the Reikai, he was the judge of all things, unless his father overruled him, and he would have work for Jin, hard work. Penance work.
Jin flew then to the Reikai, this time seeking a very different sort of help from Koenma-sama. As he entered the palace, he met Botan once again. She looked at him in shock, and did not appear happy to see Jin again. Of course, Jin's views were biased; he didn't think anyone would want to see him. He didn't want to see him.
"Jin? What are you doing back here?" She asked. Her voice seemed almost scolding, as though he were a naughty child back in the detention room.
Jin averted his gaze, afraid of angering anyone else. "I was hopin' Koenma-sama would gimme work… penance fer what I've done, I guess." He mumbled.
Botan nodded. The youkai they had watching Jin was sneaky; he had been able to see Touya denounce Jin so thoroughly and report to Botan and Koenma Jin's revelations of what he'd done. Therefore, Botan understood why Jin now came, and she gestured for him to follow her back.
"Koenma-sama?" Botan called out, entering what appeared to be an empty office.
"Oh good, you're here!" Koenma said, spinning his large chair around. He then noticed Jin and frowned slightly. "Jin? Can I help you?"
Jin ducked his head, an affirmative. "Koenma-sama. Yeh know I've done… Horrible things… I wanna' do some kinda penance… I thought… thought yeh might hav' summin' I can do ta, ta start ta try ta make up for all I've done. I don't want nuthin fer anythin' I do, just… just summin' ta do."
Koenma looked thoughtful. "Well, of course there's always something that needs doing and no one can get around to it. I'll give you room and board, food and what not, and you'll take care of those odd jobs and such then?"
Jin nodded. "Anythin' yeh wan' me ta do, Koenma-sama."
