Ch. 3 the Detectives

"Well here we are the spirit world" Botan commented after about 15 minutes of flying,

"Wow, it's so big, and colorful," Setsuka said awestruck,

"It's certainly a site to see, but I'm getting a little skittish of being on a narrow wooden paddle, flying over a most likely infinite abyss." Chris said looking down at the blackness below them.

"Don't worry, I won't let you two fall, your too precious to Koenma to lose." Botan said reassuringly "aha! Here we are, follow me inside, I'll take you to Koenma."

"Koenma, sir? I brought Chris Ita like you asked but I also brought…"

"Botan! I asked only for the boy! Why did you bring his girlfriend too! According to her file, she's only a normal human!"

At this, Chris and Setsuka merely looked at each other and turned away blushing.

"I was getting to that sir, Setsuka has some latent spirit awareness, none of our files showed it, but her sixth sense is very keen." Botan explained, "And furthermore I would like it very much if you wouldn't interrupt me,"

Koenma looking taken aback at this sudden reprimanding simply dismissed it, "Yes well… we'll talk about that later, now what have you brought me,"

"Chris Ita, age 15, brown hair, brown eyes, 5"4', Ethnic group: half Japanese half Italian, has an above average sixth sense, and has an acute spirit strength, but a sub-par latent spirit energy, draws on anger to power his attacks, has a natural skill for channeling spirit energy." Botan read from a file on Koenma's desk. "And Setsuka Mishiyiru, age 15, black hair, hazel eyes, 5"3', Ethnic group: Japanese, has a keen sixth sense and latent spirit energy, can use sixth sense to find hidden objects and people."

"Well Botan, I'm impressed with you, you got not only one, but two good candidates for spirit detective, now, you two, will you promise to do whatever it takes to take down any demon, fight any battle, and recover any lost artifact, while also keeping all your work secret from anyone, that even means your parents, siblings, or friends."

"We do," they said in unison.

"Well then, I guess you're my new spirit detectives, now lets see what powers you have." Koenma said searching his desk for something, "Aha! Here it is my scanner will harmlessly search your body for abilities.

"Hmm, ok so you Chris have the ability to augment your spirit energy into the natural elements of the world, in short you can control the elements to your will, you know fire, water, ice, wind, lightning that sort of stuff, but be wary, your latent energy is surprisingly low, so use your powers conservatively until you can increase it. And you Setsuka, you have natural healing abilities and a large amount of latent spirit energy which is good, because healing takes a lot of energy, also you can use your latent energy to enhance any physical attack you may use, for example, you like tennis correct? Right, so you can hit a tennis ball at an enemy and by augmenting your energy to the racquet and the ball you can deliver a shot with as much power as a cannonball. A very useful ability I might add."

"Wow, really I can control the elements?" Chris asked looking at his hands

"Yes that's how you beat that demon earlier; you used your anger and your ability for channeling energy and called upon lightning which struck immediately." Botan explained, "oh and I almost forgot, your covered in cuts and bruises, Setsuka, try your healing on him, lets see what you've got."

"How? How do I heal?" she asked,

"Simple, just envision all the energy going to your hands, visualize the injuries going away, and that's it, injury gone, but be wary, your new at this so don't try to raise the dead or anything, your in the spirit world now, so its easier to channel energy because your surrounded by so much of it, but on earth it will fatigue you beyond belief if you try something too difficult."

"Okay, here goes," Setsuka said, then took a deep breath in, and gasped as her hands started to glow, then all the cuts and bruises on Chris, slowly disappeared,

"Wow, I feel great! Thanks Setsuka, you just saved me from three weeks of waiting for those to heal," Chris exclaimed and gave Setsuka a hug.

"Ok, now that you have your abilities, I want you two to go back to your world and get some rest, tomorrow you start your first case, Botan will fill you in, goodbye." Koenma said then dismissed them from his office.

"Ok you two, tomorrow you'll start your first job as spirit detectives, so I'm expecting you to be well rested. I'll drop you off in the alleyway, hop on and hold tight." Botan said, and without another word until the end of the flight, they flew off to earth. When they reached there Botan said "Ok, have a good night," and flew into the night leaving Chris and Setsuka alone for the first time in most of the evening.

"Wow… I would have never guessed that this would have been the end to this evening…" Chris said

"Yea, who would have thought that we, two kids, would have special powers?" she replied

They walked all the way to Setsuka's house where they stopped on the front walk they said goodbye to one another and when Chris turned to walk back to his house, Setsuka ran up and pecked him on the cheek.
