Keep the secret

After I heard that I froze, no one knew who is except for Koenma. I was too afraid to turn around for fear that I might see a horrible demon, one that was trying to kill me. It was my fault I should have told someone about the brick and the note.

"Okay, Botan give it up." The voice said, wait it sounded familiar. I turned around to see...

"Yusuke? But how did you figure out who I was?" I asked him

He shrugged and said, "you have pictures of us in your photo albums, and you wrote your first name on the inside cover."

"Okay, but you can't tell anyone." I begged

"Why, and what's up with the new look?" he asked looking me up and down.

"Well Koenma sent me on a mission, to find a key. This key is within someone and I was sent to find this person. A demon as after it, a powerful one, he has been locked away within the dark depths of spirit world and this key could give him that freedom, but at a price. The key holder must give up their soul." I paused, trying to remember what else Koenma told me, "The demon is sending other demons here to find the key."

"Why didn't Koenma send us to help you? And do you know who the key is? " He asked and I tried to hold my anger back, I wanted to prove myself and he thought I needed help...well I did but still.

"Koenma didn't send you because if he did then it would spoil the element of surprise." I said, here was the moment of truth; I had to admit to myself that I needed their help and Yusuke knowing would be more helpful. "I know who the key is..." I paused

I pulled from my pocket a note; the note that had found it's way through my window, "here." I handed him the note.

"You are the key and when the time is right you will be ours." He read out loud and looked at me with fear and anger. "You could have been hurt. Why didn't you tell us about this note?" he yelled

"I wanted to prove that I can hold my own." I said with shame,

"That's stupid." He said, "We don't care if you can "hold your own"" he made quotation marks with his fingers, "we do care for your safety." He said and I was shocked sometimes Yusuke could be a caring guy.

"I'm sorry." I looked down and whispered he lifted my chin so that I was looking into his eyes.

"Hey, we are a team. And there is no way this demon is going to get you." he said

"But you can't let the others know." I said quickly and he nodded and smiled evilly

"They have to find out on their own." He said, "So where were you headed?" he asked

"To get cake mix for my..." I covered my mouth and Yusuke looked at me then it hit him.

"That's right, you know about the party." He snapped his fingers, if you know that you were going to be you, then how can you show up at the party we are throwing at your house?" Yusuke asked scratching his head, "you know what I mean." He said yeah I did. "I know, you don't want people to find out that you are Oki Ran, so if we get you a blue wig, then you can show up as Botan."

"Okay smarty Mcsmart man, then how will Oki Ran show up?" I asked him

"You can keep switching places." He said "like on those old cartoons." He said "no that wont work, Kurama will figure it out."

"Or Oki Ran can call and say that she can't make it because of a business meeting and you can use the house anyway? Then tomorrow Botan can show up..." I said

"That will work." He said "and if you get another note like this tell me of someone, okay." He said and I nodded "let's get that cake mix." He said

Elsewhere

The dark demon sat in his cell deep within the ReiKai planning his sweet revenge on king Enma, he put the key in one of those humans, Oki Ran."

"Masster, what sshall be done about the Uramesshi team? Sshe will look for them." A demon hissed

"No, Koenma will order them not to help and if they do, then that's fine, I will destroy them one by one, that will show that baby a think or two." The dark one said

"Yess masster,"

"Go now, and give Oki Ran something to die for." He said darkly

After Yusuke and I went shopping Kayko showed up and dragged him off to the mall. I was left alone to carry the brown bag of cake stuff. When I was at home I unlocked the door and found another note on the floor, but this one was wrapped around a note. I bent down putting the bag on the floor next to me and picked up the red rose. I pulled of the note and unrolled it.
