Yu Yu Hakusho Re Pure, Episode 4 - A Lunch Made With Love
Kayko meets Yusuke for the walk to school. Kayko does a double take. "Two lunches today? Is one for Kurama?"
Yusuke mutters to himself, then answers. "No, its for Botan."
Kayko laughs. "I knew it. I knew she would have you under her spell in no time."
Yusuke mutters to himself and hangs his head.
Yusuke and Kayko are joined by Kuwabara and his gang. Kayko gets an evil grin. "Hey, Kuwabara, Yusuke is bringing two lunches today."
Kuwabara shrugs. "Maybe the studying has made him hungry?"
Kayko laughs and slaps Kuwabara on the back. Kuwabara knows that he's been hit. "No, guess who the lunch is for?"
"For you?"
"No, for our homeroom teacher Miss Botan."
Kuwabara cracks up. "Yusuke. I guess you're going all out?"
Yusuke rolls his eyes. "What ever."
...
It's lunch time and the gang goes to their lockers to get their lunches. Yusuke and Kuwabara notice pink envelopes sealed with hearts in their lockers.
Yusuke takes his to the roof and reads it. Yusuke makes a face.
"All right Urameshi, how could you go around humiliating girls? You're disgusting." Kuwabara points his finger at Yusuke from the door to the roof.
"You're naive, Kuwabara." Yusuke holds up his letter. "I'll bet this letter has the same handwriting as your letter."
"So?"
"This letter accuses you of humiliating girls."
Kuwabara grabs the letter and compares. "Yeah, looks like someone is trying to mess with us. What should we do?"
"The letter mentions a place where we should fight after school. We could go there and see what's up."
Kuwabara thinks. "What if it's a trap?"
Yusuke smiles. "Then we get to kick more ass that usual."
Kuwabara smiles.
Botan appears on the roof. "Yusuke, I want to talk to you about this letter." Botan holds up a pink envelope.
Kuwabara gulps. "You got one too, Miss Botan?"
"Yes. Let me read a passage. 'I was numb to all sensation until you, a vision of beauty, appeared in my life. I could not feel the warmth of the sun or the cold of the night. I could not hear the songs of the birds or the chirps of the crickets. I could not smell the sweetness of the incense, or the brightness of the flowers. Now, all I can think of is holding you close in my arms, smelling your hair, hearing your heartbeat, and feeling your lovely long hair.' Hot stuff, Yusuke."
Kuwabara eyes grow wide. "Wow, Yusuke, I guess you should be the person to date Miss Botan. First a lunch, then a love letter."
Yusuke clenches his teeth and breaks out into a sweet. He turns beet red.
Kuwabara smiles. "Well, I'd better give you guys some privacy." Kuwabara walks down the steps grinning.
Yusuke, exhausted steadies himself against the wall of the stairwell. "Thank you, Miss Botan."
"Oh?"
"For not telling Kuwabara that the lunch and the love letter was from my Mom."
Botan laughs. "Oh, don't worry, I knew that you would want it kept secret."
"Hey Botan, I have a question for you. What was that thing you pulled out last night?"
Botan pulls out a hula hoop from behind her back. "Oh, this is a spirit hula hoop. It has many uses. It can be used as an inter-dimensional window and it could be used as a disguise generator among other things."
"Wow, that's pretty cool."
"Let me give you a demonstration." Botan holds the hula hoop over her body then lets it drop so she passes through it. Her clothes instantly change into a barely there belly dancer outfit.
Yusuke eyes grow big. "Um, could you change back? It's weird to see you like that while you're supposed to be my teacher.
Botan picks up the hula hoop. "Okay, but first I have to power up the hoop." Botan starts wildly gyrating with the hula hoop around her waist. "This is how I can transfer spirit energy to it. It's kind of fun!"
Botan stops and looks around. "Um, Yusuke?" She looks down and sees Yusuke sitting against the stairwell, his nose bleeding a gusher. "How strange."
...
Yusuke and Kuwabara arrive at an empty lot. Kuwabara smiles. "Don't worry, my men and Kurama will rush in if I whistle."
"Should we pretend to fight?"
"Yeah, they'll probably wait until we wear each other out before they attack."
Kuwabara and Yusuke assume fighting stances.
Megumi and Kayko enter the lot. Megumi points at Yusuke and Kuwabara. "There they are. They're the ones who ..." Megumi breaks off sobbing and twists her blond pigtails.
Kayko flies into a rage. "And, I thought you two had some shred of decency. Now, I'm mad!"
Yusuke positions Kuwabara between him and Kayko and pulls out his spirit lens. It reveals horns on the forehead of Megumi.
Kayko charges and knocks down Kuwabara with one slap.
Yusuke points his spirit gun at Megumi and fires. Megumi falls to her knees shaking. She starts coughing and she coughs up the injured demon. Yusuke grabs the demon and tries to escape the lot but Kayko blocks him.
"You pervert, what did you do to Megumi and what do you have in you hands?"
Yusuke is stunned. He holds up the demon. "You can see this little fella?"
Kayko turns away repulsed. "It's gross. Did you use that to torture Megumi?"
Botan, Kurama and the rest of Kuwabara's gang enter the lot. Botan walks her bicycle up to Yusuke and takes the demon. She puts it into the bike's basket.
"Botan, Kayko was able to see it." Yusuke is almost in shock.
Botan smiles. "First off, that's Miss Botan. Kayko, I'll bet you're wondering what that was all about."
Kayko pouts. "There had better be a good explanation."
Botan goes over to Megumi and rubs her shoulders and tries to comfort her. "Humm, what's the best place to start? Okay, Kayko, I'm a Shimigami."
Kayko gives Botan a contemptuous look. "You can't be serious."
"But, I am, and Megumi had been taken over by a demon. Yusuke was able to defeat the demon with his spirit gun and I just sealed the demon away."
"This is ridiculous."
"I know it sounds weird, but you did see the demon, right?"
"I..."
"Yusuke was brought back to be a spirit detective. Since you were in close contact with him when he came back, you got some of his powers. That's how you were able to see the demon."
"This has gone far enough, Miss Botan. It's one thing to try to seduce a student, but to do so by filling Yusuke's head with a bunch of stupid ideas?"
Botan smiles. "Perhaps if I demonstrate?" Botan pulls out an oar and sits on it. It levitates in the air.
"Amazing. What's the trick?"
Botan slumps her head, then smiles. Kayko, would you sit here?" Botan pats part of her our.
Kayko sits next to Botan.
"Okay, grab onto my waist." Kayko complies and finds herself hundreds of feet in the air.
Kayko tries to scream but cannot.
Botan takes the oar down and lands. Kayko gets off the oar, barely able to stand.
Kurama smiles. "Miss Kayko, if you would like, I have the power to erase memories. I can make all of this go away and things would go back to being normal."
Kayko frowns. "No, then I would be wondering why I kept seeing horns on people's foreheads."
Botan gives Kayko a serious look. "Kayko, would you like to join our elite demon busting corps?"
Yusuke rolls his eyes. "We have a name now?"
Kayko thinks hard. "So, you're saying that this demon was controlling Megumi and Yusuke and Kuwabara didn't have anything to do with it?"
Botan nods. "They were using Megumi to try to turn you against Yusuke."
"So these demons attacked my friend. I cannot forgive them for that. Yes, Miss Botan, I will help any way I can."
Botan jumps up and down and claps her hands in joy.
Kuwabara stirs from the ground, where he has been since Kayko slapped him. "I nominate her for body guard." He then falls flat.
Botan grabs Kayko by the shoulders. "We are going to be doing a very dangerous assignment tomorrow after school. If you want to see some action and fireworks that would be the place."
"I will do my best."
"Good, Kurama and Yusuke can bring you up to speed tomorrow during lunch."
...
A long shadow appears by the school gate. A deep, menacing off screen voice says "So, this is my new school. This will be very interesting."
