Grinning to herself was she walked around in Japan in another school girl uniform, she was quite pleased. This one had a long green skirt and a white blouse with a green collar. And this time, finding the candidate should be very easy. Apparently, this one resembled Kurama more than the others with a few minor differences.
"Shino Moritoku," she muttered quietly to herself. "Should be easy enough."
Used to the floor plan of schools now, she no longer needed assistance finding her homeroom class for the day and walked over to the room as she entered it quietly, which wasn't always her style. Looking in the back, she saw a boy with black hair and a vivid dark blue tint to it sitting in the back. His hair, eerily enough, was the same style as Shuiichi's had been. He sat in a green uniform, and seemed to be studying for a test. She sat down in in a seat next to the one in front of him. He glanced upwards at her and spoke to her.
"Oh, you must be new," he said as he looked at Botan. Botan turned and nodded. She noticed that his eyes were exactly the same color green.
"Yes, I am," she said cheerfully. The boy who was definitely Shino, as Botan could tell from the picture she saw before, took a stare at Botan, and then rubbed his temple as he looked distressed, almost as if straining to remember something.
"Your name is Botan, correct?" he asked her. She nodded and grinned.
"Yeah, how did you know?" There was more to the reason she grinned, as it seemed that Shino might be catching on to a possibly memory of her. Shino stared back at her for a moment, then shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I don't know." He looked away and was very still for several long moments. He then raised an eyebrow at her as he now walked out of his seat and over to hers.
"Botan of the River Sticks," he added as he looked down at her and offered her a hand for a handshake. She had done it, she had found Kurama. Or rather, Shino Moritoku. Botan stood up and smiled back at him, taking his hand in the handshake.
"Kurama, the fox demon," she added. Taking a few seconds to adjust, he nodded slowly after. "I bet you are confused, no?"
"Perhaps. It is not a familiar feeling to remember a past life. It's coming back in pieces... have you found any of the others in their reincarnations?" Kurama asked. Botan shook her head.
"No. Yusuke was too hard to locate, and Hiei and Kuwabara have not been touched upon yet," Botan replied. Kurama nodded as he mused on the thought, and then looked back at Botan.
"So, I was the easiest one to locate. I see. But why have you chosen to relocate us? Doesn't that go against regulation?" Kurama asked. Botan nodded slowly.
"Yes, usually. We have never made many connections to reincarnations, although with recent trouble, KoEnma had no choice," Botan replied.
"We are no longer the reiki tantei, Botan," Kurama replied. "Although, I do remember much more of the missions, I do not see why to relocate us since the majority of us would be different I would imagine. Surprisingly, comparing my current life to my past one, I am not very different although I do have my differences."
"KoEnma believes you can recall your skills faster. Hopefully, as you did when transferring from Youko Kurama to the human body of Shuiichi Minamino. You did say that it took a while to regain your abilities, yet you remembered how to use them," Botan replied cheerfully. "And, unfortunately, time is something we cannot spend. KoEnma really needs the reiki tantei back.. a new threat emerges." Kurama nodded.
"And it is likely that they will remember in a similar fashion," Kurama replied. Botan nodded.
"Yes, exactly. Although, now that you have been found, we need to start the next search immediately." Botan grabbed Kurama's wrist and pulled him outside to the front of the school, clumsily enough that he was unable to protest and did not wish to hurt her in the process.
"We're off to reikai" she chanted as she materialized her oar and hopped onto it, flating now a few inches above the ground. Kurama quietly sat down behind her and held onto the oar. A quick kick off, and Botan and Kurama were up in the air. Looking down at the city, Kurama decided against looking below as he stayed awkwardly silent with a displeased expression.
"Who is next?" Kurama asked after a while.
"I don't know, actually. We'll have to see KoEnma. Also, we have two new reiki tantei in training."
"KoEnma needs the help this badly?" Kurama asked, now worried as to what could be such a big problem.
"Yes. He wouldn't tell me for what though. I Imagine you and I will find out soon... although, I don't know for sure."
"Let us hope KoEnma knows how to handle the situation."
