Youko stared at Botan with surprised eyes. He couldn't believe it.. she was that demon? The one he had found comfort in?
"What.. are you?"
"I don't know." She looked sad at that instant. "I named myself, or rather.. the whisper named me." He blinked and gave her a confused look.
"The whisper?"
"Yes, the whisper of Fate. She laughs at me in her spare time." She glared angerly at the cave. "I'm almost reluctant to call myself by that name." He gave her a curious look.
"No, it's a.. pretty name. You do know that it means peony, ne?" He asked. She gave him a confused look.
"What is a peony?" He smirked. She was new to this world. "I know its a type of flower.." He jumped down and she backed slightly away from him. Her eyes showed some kind of fear that was foreign to him. It was kind of a defiant fear.
"Follow me. Oh, and before I forget, this is Makai." She glared indignantly at him when he gave her that voice that was both mocking and filled with amusement.
"I know that." She said coldly. He looked at her and lifted an eyebrow. "The whisper filled me in on almost everything. Everything that I wasn't meant to see." Her hatred had built up inside of her, making her even more powerful.
"So, how long were you in there?"
"Who knows?" He blinked and stared at her. "I don't."
"What do you mean by 'who knows'? You should know."
"I don't." She repeated. She glared at him. "Where are we anyway?"
"In my territory." This time it was she who raised an eyebrow. "We should go back to my lair." She shrugged and followed him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuusuke and Kuwabara were sent to Reikai to meet Hiei. They walked through the jail with the guard until they stopped at a cell.
"Here he is." Yuusuke peered in then elbowed Kuwabara.
"You're the one that can see in the dark." Suddenly they both stiffened. Two glowing red eyes stared at him from the darkness.
"There is no need to see in the dark." His voice rang in their ears. A shadow, darker than the darkness around them came out, the glowing red eyes moving toward them. He was short, had spiky hair that sort of resembled flames, and ruby red eyes. He looked human, unlike those around them. "What do you want?"
"We need a guide through Makai. They wanted you to take us to where we're supposed to go."
"And the reward?" Hiei raised an eyebrow.
"Your freedom." Yuusuke seemed to realize he was the only one talking to the small demon. He looked over to see Kuwabara looking around in a freaked out way.
"Fine." The koorime agreed. Yuusuke wondered why he had a white bandana on, yet he really didn't want to know. "The bandana covers my Jagan eye." A purple glow in the shape of an eye on his forehead proved that.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiei, Yuusuke, and Kuwabara walked through the forests of Makai, the Demon Realm.
"So, I am to help you find Youko Kurama?" Hiei asked with a smirk on his face. "That would be no problem at all." He closed his eyes and took the bandana off, revealing the Jagan eye. He searched for the Legendary Bandit's presence. Ah, he found it. Along with this huge power source. Hiei's eyes snapped open and they widened. He never felt that much power before. He replaced the bandana. Oh well, the power will make it easier to track them.
"Did you find him?" Kuwabara asked. Hiei didn't answer. He only continued to walk along. Yuusuke and Kuwabara followed him. They would get lost here if they didn't keep up with the little koorime. They trekked through woods and over bridges that went over raging rivers. It was very different in Makai than the human world. Hiei brought them to a halt in front of some vines. "What are you lookin' at?"
"Youko!" Hiei shouted. Suddenly, the same eerie blue glow came out of the vines and blew them away, revealing a cave entrance, in a rush of wind. Yuusuke shielded his face with his arms and closed one eye. He wasn't liking this. Was it Youko that was really doing it? "Come out here." A figure approached the three. It was dressed in a kimono. Suddenly, the wind died down and they were able to see her face. Her skin was as white as newly fallen snow, her hair was the color of water, and her eyes were like amethysts.
"Who the hell are you?" Yuusuke asked. Sure, she was beautiful but they needed to get this over and done with. 'I take it that she's the one that we need help from.' He thought, his eyes on her. She stopped and the wind picked up again.
"You shall have to ask me more kindly. I do not wish to answer to rude questions." Hiei growled and glared at Yuusuke, waiting.
"Who are you?" She smiled and the wind died down. "You're not a wind master, are you?" She laughed bell-like laughter.
"No, that is only the wind of my power. Since you asked nicely, my name is Botan. What are your names, travelers?"
"Hiei."
"Yuusuke Urameshi."
"Kuwabara Kazuma." She glanced at all of them once then turned around.
"They appear to bear no ill will, Youko. They wish to see you." Another figure, dressed in a white training outfit, came out. Yuusuke looked him over. He had golden eyes, silver hair, fox-like ears, a tail, claws, and he had a calm aura. Yuusuke didn't know whether to like this guy or not.
"What do you need?" He seemed to have a cold voice and a cold glare. Yuusuke stepped forward.
"There is a threat coming over the three worlds. We need your help and yours, if you would." He turned to Botan. She smiled and set her hand on his shoulder.
"I shall help. If it is a threat over something that I have not explored yet." She looked over at Youko. "They come for your help. They need your expertise. Help us."
"Fine."
"Reikai said that they would drop all of your charges if you agreed. Thats how we got him to help." Yuusuke nodded his head in Hiei's general direction.
"You were that one that the men were chasing, ne? Well, you went right by me in that case." Youko said with a sly grin.
"Hn." Was the reply he got. He sighed. This was going to be a long mission if they had to work with someone like him, not to mention humans.
"Just wonderful." He mumbled to himself, crossing his arms. Atleast Botan was there. It would be interesting to view her powers. Especially if there was some sort of mysteriousness. There was. She was full of mystery. She was attracting his attention. When that blue light engulfed everything, he had thought that he had made a mistake.
"Can we get started? I'm pretty sure that Genkai wouldn't like it if we stood here all day." Yuusuke said with a frown. "I don't feel like getting hit by her again."
"Yes, we shall start." Botan said. "I am anxious to see what other powers I may have." She looked down at her pale hands.
"You mean you don't know?" She shook her head and looked at Yuusuke.
"I was locked away all my life. This is the first time I ever used my powers. They are strong. Something the gods probably envied."
"Genkai said something like that when she explained your legend." Kuwabara said, his eyes going to all of them nervously.
"I'm a legend?" She asked, surprised.
"Yeah." Yuusuke said with a smile. "One that was told in children's stories. No one ever believed it was true but Genkai."
"This is going to be an interesting adventure." Youko muttered, a smirk on his face.
