It All Started with a Game

"So, I guess it's my turn, right?" Yusuke said, pulling on his shirt, "Hmm…well, I guess I'll pick…Botan."

"Yes, yes?" cried Botan eagerly.

"Pick 'truth' or 'dare' first, idiot," said Hiei.

"You're so mean!" Botan huffed, "okay, 'truth'."

"Hah! Thought so!" Yusuke said evilly.

"Hayyyyyyyy…what da hell is goin on here?" someone drawled.

It was Kuwabara. He, apparently, had woken up from his unconsciousness. Earlier, he had been hit by Yusuke by the back of the head.

"Oh, it's you," Keiko commented, "we're still playing the game. Now it's Yusuke's turn."

"Oh. Yea..I remember now," Kuwabara yawned and turned to Yusuke, "now what da hell were you tryin to ask that hottie Botan with the red bra?"

It seems that Kuwabara's brain was not fully working because he had just woken up. His previous statement earned him a full slap on the face by Botan.

"Huh! Perverts! That'll teach ya!" Botan crossed her arms, annoyed.

"Hehehehehe," Kuwabara giggled guiltily, "sowwie."

"Okay, okay on with the question," Yusuke announced, looking at Botan's determined face, "When you were alone with Koenma, has he ever done hmm….how do I put this…anything…that can be considered as a 'more-than-friends' act? Ya know, such as hugging, kissing, and 'you-know-what'?"

"Ooh, that, I'd really like to know," Kuwabara said.

Immediately, Botan's and Koenma's face turned a very interesting shade of red.

"Heh. I have no doubt the answer to Yusuke's question is a 'yes'," Hiei remarked, smirking.

"Y-You guys definitely think too much! I d-definitely have NEVER done anything inappropriate alone with Koenma…" Botan denied, her face as red as a tomato, "R-right, Koenma-sama?"

"Ya, DUHH…Why would I wanna do ANYTHING to my assistant!" Koenma agreed, his face still red. "And don't tell me all you guys have been thinking there's something goin on between me and her all along!"

"Well, to tell the truth, we've been gossiping a lot about it lately," Kurama admitted.

"W-WHAT!" Botan almost shouted.

"Yea, we have, you know, the way you act so…I don't know how to describe it…so…nice…towards each other," Keiko offered.

"EXACTLY. And, as mah' sis Shizuru would say, 'actions speak louder and words'," said Kuwabara.

"Stupid people. Just lookit da idiot guy over there. He's trying to wrestle with the T.R.U.T.H. D.E.T.E.C.T.O.R.," Hiei stated, cocking his head over at Koenma.

Sure enough, the guy was trying to pull the arrow over from the 'lie' section over to the 'truth' section. It wasn't working because the arrow wouldn't even budge.

"Damn!" Koenma cried in frustration. "From now on, I WILL RENAME YOU, YOU STUPID T.R.U.T.H. D.E.T.E.C.T.O.R.! YOU WILL BE SIMPLY CALLED THE TRUTH DETECTOR WITHOUT THE DOTS IN BETWEEN! I WILL NEVER UPGRADE YOUR NAME EVER AGAIN!"

"Urm…that was an upgrade!" Yusuke sweatdropped.

"Good. I'm annoyed with the name with the dots in between anyway," said Hiei.

"Okay, okay, now for the truth, please! I want to hear!" Keiko called everyone to attention.

Everyone became silent, waiting for Botan to speak.

"W-Well…yes, I've done something with Koenma before..." Botan admitted, blushing real bad.

Everyone gasped.

"HAH!" Yusuke shouted in triumph.

"Tell us about it," Kurama pushed.

"Urm…I don't know where to start…there are many times-" Botan was interrupted.

"MANY TIMES! WOOHOO! WAY TO GO, KOENMA!" Kuwabara whooped loudly.

"Argh…shuddup, idiot. I'm gonna die of embarrassment," Koenma said grumpily.

"Hmm..how bout…the first time that you kissed with Koenma?"Yusuke asked.

"Okay, I'm going to tell you guys ONCE, and only this once, so listen carefully. This all happened some time ago when I was just new at my job as Koenma's messenger girl…" Botan started.

FLASHBACK

"George! Geooooorge!" Koenma Daioh in the form of a four-year-old kid shouted, his voice echoing off the wide halls of his palace in the Spirit World.

"WHERE DA HELL DID YOU GO, YOU STUPID IDIOT!"

The heir of the Spirit World pounded on the table, which was filled with paperwork.

"GEORGE, GEORGE, GEORGE, GEORGE, GEORGE, GEORGE, GEORGE!"

"I'm here, Koenma-sama!" the blue-skinned demon George came running.

"Ohh, THERE you are, George! Can you do the paperwork for me? I'm bored. I'm too lazy. Oh, yea I gotta go try out that new restaurant. Bye," the little Koenma quickly shoved all the papers into poor George's arms and ran.

However, Koenma was quickly stopped when he bumped into someone's giant legs in the doorway. The little heir tumbled backwards and looked up into the face of his father, Enma Daioh, the ruler of the Spirit World.

"W-Whoa!" Koenma accidentally blurted out. "Uh…good morning, father. I was just going to go out to get more paperwork."

"I'm not buying that anymore," Enma replied, emotion barely showing on his face, "You are doing your paperwork and that's final. However, I have some good news for you that might help you in your work."

"Good news, father?" Koenma curiously asked.

"I've brought you a helper. A messenger, actually," Enma stated, expecting some kind of happy response from his son.

However, Koenma was confused.

"But father, I've already got George," Koenma said.

"I know, son, but George helps you with your paperwork. This new assistant is going to be your messenger. It'll help lessen a whole lot of your paperwork by more than 60 percent," and with that, Enma stepped aside to present the messenger that was standing behind him.

Koenma's eyes grew wide. The "new messenger" was not what he had expected at all. Koenma had been expecting another male demon, much similar to George. However, that was not to be. The new messenger was a girl, appearing about 14 years old with blue hair and bright, cheery eyes. She was quite what you would call "cute".

"Hi," she greeted Koenma cheerily, bowing in her light pink kimono, "I'm Botan, sir. At your service."

Botan's cheery act ended as soon as she saw who her boss really was. She yelped loudly, then covered her mouth.

"Oh! I'm soo sorry…Um..excuse me, Enma-sama, but…a baby?" Botan asked uncertainly.

"He's older than he looks," Enma explained.

"Yea," Koenma repeated after his father, "I'm older than I look."

"Now, I'll leave you two to your work. Oh, yes, and before I forget, Botan, here's your broom. You can use it to travel around," Enma said, bringing out a wooden broom from his pocket and walking back from where he came from.

"Thank you, sir," Botan caught the broom and turned to face her new boss.

The situation was now very awkward. Little Koenma and the blue-haired girl stared at each other. It was absolute, uncomfortable silence. Koenma slowly took in the features of his new assistant. Hmm…quite cute, quite cute. Hehehe…tricky dad. He must think having a pretty assistant will make me stick to my work. Ahh…well, to a certain extent it works. Have to give my dad credit for that. A 'lil flirtin doesn't hurt, does it? Koenma thought, suddenly transforming into his good-looking teenage form.

"Wassup, babay?" Koenma had his cool act on, leaning onto the cold marble wall beside him.

Botan sweatdropped. Goshh, he's DEFINITELY hittin' on me. I'm gonna show him it's NEVER GONNA WORK, Botan thought, a little bit annoyed.

"Koenma-sama, do you have anything for me to do?" Botan asked.

"Hmm…as a matter of fact, I do. I need some…hmm…I want a lemon smoothie and some ramen, please," he replied, his face thoughtful.

What does he think I am, his personal waitress! ,Botan thought, exasperated. However, she knew better than to disobey her new boss' first order. So, she simply replied,

"Yes, of course, sir. I'll be right there with your orders."

This is going to be a hella lot funner than I thought, Koenma thought. A small smile crept onto his face as he considered Botan's backside, walking away to get his orders.

A/N: Okay, I'll continue the flashback next chappie:D Please tell me what you think. ;)
