Chapter Seven
Botan had found the rest of the gang easily. They were assigned to terminate a demon gang that had suddenly showed up and started causing trouble. So the Rekai Tantei used Hiei to track down the lair of demons and started total bedlam. Yusuke's weapon was his Spirit Gun, Kuwabara his Spirit Sword, Kurama his Rose Whip, and Hiei wanted to use the Dragon Flame but his sword was more humane. Botan was stuck with her baseball bat. She swung left and right, but her mind was somewhere else. She was thinking about when Koenma had called. Hiei had somehow managed to get into the bathroom without destroying the door. He had also given her a look that was strange for him to give. ' I didn't know that anyone could show so much...emotion or passion or affection or whatever in their eyes! It's crazy, but sweet. Ok I have lost my mind.' she thought as she swung her bat at an oncoming demon. She cleared her mind and as the demon crumpled to the floor she did a little victory dance. It was only when a voice behind her said, "You're a pretty one aren't you?" did she realize that she was surrounded. She shuddered as she felt the demon's breath on her neck. "I think we should have a little fun with her!" The other demons murmured an agreement. They started to move in on the frightened ferry girl. She tried to swing her bat but it was caught by one of the ugly demons. "You might want to back off! I have another trick up my sleeve." Botan cautioned. The demons didn't hear her so she went ahead and summoned her oar. She swung at the nearest demon and sat on her oar as it hovered out of reach. Unfortunately, she didn't notice the demon about to attack her from behind until Hiei killed it. "Baka onna watch what you're doing!" Hiei was scowling. Botan just nodded and asked if the rest of the gang had made any progress.
When the mission was finally completed, the Rekai Tantei made their way to the Spirit World. Koenma was overly pleased at how well they had done, but he wasn't too happy about his best ferry girl almost getting sliced in half. After Koenma lectured Botan for a while, he asked everyone but the ferry girl to leave. When the two were alone, the godling asked, "What's wrong? You haven't been yourself lately." Botan sighed. "It's nothing, sir." "C'mon Botan. I know it's something. When I called earlier you looked as if you were trying to protect something." The ferry girl gave him a puzzled look then realized he was talking about the tape. "Oh, it was just something Yusuke recorded. Hiei was trying to burn it." "A tape?" Koenma seemed very curious now. When Botan nodded he said, "I see. You can go now, but be careful." The ferry girl made her way to the door when she was stopped by the godling. "Oh, and Botan? If Hiei gives you any trouble, let me know and I'll take care of him!" Botan smiled. Koenma-sama was a great friend.
