Authoress: (cowers in corner) I feel very small in this category. (holds up white flag) My first YYH fic, well, posted one. Please be gentle.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Except the plot….. Yeah, that's about it.

Chapter1

It All Starts with the Loss of Coffee

Papers were strewn everywhere, a broken computer sat on her desk, and she sat in a stressed mess in her rolling chair. Paradise was nowhere to be seen in the large piles of forgotten paper-work and documents. Salvation was not coming to rescue her from her filing cabinet. And coffee was definitely not in her flower-patterned mug. Incidentally, caffeine looked to be the only chemical that would actually save her sanity from the vortex that was once (in her life) her office, but alas, she had leant it to Ayame and the girl dropped it.

A sigh escaped the pink lip-sticked lips at the thought of Charlie (as the coffee machine was dubbed) floating somewhere in coffee-maker heaven. Poor thing never had a chance. Damn Ayame and her luck with electronic appliances! The over-worked girl made a mental note not to let Ayame use her compact just in case.

Vacation? What vacation? She couldn't remember the last time she had not even thought about work. Gods forbid she not be there to lead and be an example to her inferiors.

"Cappuccino…." she mumbled pathetically as she stared at the screen, which held an unfinished (probably never going to be finished) losing game of solitaire. 'No! Hazelnut frappaccino!' she rethought..

'Could someone die of boredom or from being over-work?' she mused silently. A piece of paper, that received the honor of becoming an airplane, flew across the room and landed in a almost hidden trash can. 'I bet it starts this way.'

"Botan is awfully quiet today."

"It's been like this the last couple of days."

"I think she misses being out in the field."

"With Yusuke getting married she's not exactly needed as an assistant. Kuwabara and Kurama both went to collage."

"Hiei?"

"Who knows? You know how he is. He disappears with the wind."

"Yeah….. Poor Botan must be so lonely."

"You people are standing right outside my door. DO YOU THINK I'M DEAF!" the blue-haired deity yelled. The two gossiping girls scurried off as not to anger the top ferry girl any longer.

"Every rumor starts with 'Do you know what I heard?'" Botan sighed as she stood in front of her superior. She had been called to his office for this? Why? The waste of time was enormous. "Yes, but I've been told you are not yourself lately," the toddler countered.

"It's that time of the month…..?" Botan tried, giving a very lame excuse.

"You are dead," he said with an unconvinced look.

'And I thank the Gods that PMS doesn't carry over into the after-life,' she thought with a smirk. "It was worth a try. Anyways, is there a reason I've been called to your office?" she asked.

"Yes, Botan," he said, straightening some papers, trying to look important. All of the trying failed as long as he had the binkie in his mouth. "I do believe it is time for a vacation."

Silence dropped on the room like a taboo had been placed on every word in every language. Botan stood still, not believing what she had heard. In her five hundred year career she had not had a vacation or even a long break. It was unthinkable.

"Ex-excuse me?" Botan stuttered out. Koenma looked up at her from under his odd-shaped hat.

"A vacation, to anywhere you'd like," he clarified. "I think you deserve it. Ayame can take over for you while you are away," he told her.

'Just don't let her near your TV,' Botan thought with a snicker. The blue-haired girl straightened up and nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Lord Koenma. This means a lot," she said excitedly.

Koenma saw her face light up and he seemed to get happier inside also. He shook his head and turned back into his normal self. "Now, when I say anywhere, I'm giving you a dimensional passport," he told her, telling himself this is the right thing.

Botan became quiet again. A dimensional passport? Aren't those for the highest of the high? Only Enma gave those out. Koenma held out to her a pendant with two mirror-like sides that had a glowing 'B' insignia on it.

"So I can go anywhere?" she asked for clarification.

"Yes, except the past of this dimension. If things are changed in the past is would mean trouble for us," the toddle-like prince said. "And-HEY WHERE ARE YOU GOING!" "I'm outta here! Bye Koenma-sama!" the deity called as she was half-way out the door, her powder blue hair flying behind her.

"BOTAN!" he yelled after her, but it was too late. She was gone and so were her worries for a very long time.

Her destination: Anywhere.

Authoress: If you couldn't tell this is going to be a cross-over fic. I need you people to give me ideas on two things. Destination #1 and a pairing with Botan. Depending on where she goes. I had an idea with Hiei, but not a lot of people agree with that pairing. Please Read and review.
