Mean Things Happening
Kurama sighed as he watched Maya teach Botan how to dance and scoffed. He could do better than that. He could make her feel the dance and the heat. He blushed and looked back toward his drink on the table.
"You okay?" Kaitou finally spoke. "You seem a little distant." All Kaitou got was a soft "heh" and Kurama stood up. "Guess not, what's wrong with you?"
"Shut up. Haven't you taken enough from me?" he blurted out and walked onto the dance floor and strode toward Botan and Maya. "May I cut in?" And without waiting for the answer he took Botan by the hand and led her away. "You look lovely."
Botan blushed and looked up at him, "you think so? It took me forever to finish it, what with all the Spirit world work there is."
"Yes, it's wonderful." He whispered in her ear making her shiver noticeably. "We haven't spoken much lately. How's everything?"
"Um well it's fine… Oh." She blushed when she stepped on Kurama's toes. "Sorry."
"That's fine, here let me show you." He smiled
Maya was taken aback by the fact that Kurama had chosen Botan over her to dance with. 'How dare she! She took him from me again. That's it.' She growled and walked off. Kaitou watched her with following eyes until she vanished into the crowd and slowly got up to follow her. Something was oddly different about her something he couldn't quite- his thoughts were cut off when someone wrapped their arm around his shoulder.
"Whoa, relax, don't be so jumpy." A wild grin and wide eyes. "'Sup Kaitou? How you been?"
"What are you doing here, Yusuke?" he pushed the teen off and fixed up his costume.
"Me and Kuwabara came to crash the party. And we brought Hiei too." He smirked. "He didn't really want to come but that's alright."
"Dammit detective! Let me go." Hiei struggled
"Hey, maybe you should let him go." Kaitou smirked teasingly, "it might be too "HOT" out here."
Hiei's face dropped and he snarled, "That is not funny!"
Yusuke and Kuwabara came down from laughing and looked around, "where's Botan and Kurama?" Yusuke asked. "Never mind, I see them." He smirked wildly and ran for the dance floor.
Kaitou blinked and looked back at Hiei suddenly terrified, "eheh, come now Hiei it was a joke. Besides you have to admit that it was pretty foolish."
"Uh, I don't think you should do that Kaitou, man." Kuwabara backed away holding his hands out as if to say he wanted no part of it. Kaitou smiled and was about to move when a boom filled the air. "What the hell was that?" Kuwabara jumped and was instantly trampled by a panicked crowd of students.
Hiei jumped up on a poll and watched as the people flooded out like ants being washed away and smirked. "It was just a bomb." He said coolly.
Kaitou winced and looked around at the debris. Why would someone bomb a school? "Oh no. what of Botan and the others?" he ran back toward them and sighed as he noticed Kurama and Yusuke blocking Botan from any danger. "What happened?"
"I don't know, you were closer to where it came from." Kurama said.
"Shuichi! Help me," Came a crying voice. "Please!"
"Who's that?" Yusuke looked at the red head.
"Maya!" he and Kaitou answered in unison but only Kurama ran toward her voice, the smoke from the blast was still thick and dark but he pushed through, he couldn't let anything happen to anyone. "Maya."
"Shuichi." She whimpered back at him and he ran faster. He stopped suddenly when he noticed that the smoke had cleared only around the area were he was standing and at his feet was Maya. She was trapped under the small roof of a snack stand. "Shu-ichi." She gasped and passed out.
"What exactly happened?" Koenma looked at the five of them.
"Lets see, Botan and Kurama were at a school thing, then me, Kuwabara, and Hiei show up and BOOM! The party is no more." Yusuke spoke for all of them.
"I see. I think it's safe to say that someone is out to get you. So. Botan you are to stay here until this is all cleared up." He looked at her as she was about to protest and smiled when she nodded. "Now, the four of you go back there and do your job." He sighed and went back to stamping papers.
The Boys groaned and stumbled out of the room and headed back to earth. Botan sighed and slowly turned and headed back to her room.
Karasu smirked and slowly slithered into Maya's hospital room and shook her awake. "Good work, little one. He will feel as if this is his fault and spend every extra moment he has with you."
"Thank you." She smiled. "Now, what was it that you wanted from me?"
"I want to know every little spot Botan goes to at school. I promise I will make sure she never takes him away. No girl will." He smirked 'and soon, no girl will include you. Kurama is mine and shall always be' he smiled
"Thank you for helping me. What's the next part of the plan?"
"You will see in due time, just leave that part up to me."
