I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. This is fan fiction only.
As Yusuke walked home he saw something that caught his attention. The very same mother was distracted again in a rush to get somewhere fast. She didn't even notice the reckless driver driving directly into the lane she was going to cross. Yusuke had a few precious moments he rushed to her and pushed her hard, making sure the car did not hit her.
The only bad thing is that the car hit him instead. "Well, at least that lady is not going to die. Now I need to figure out why am I up here, don't tell me that I died because that car hit me." that is when someone appeared right next to him riding a boat oar. "Bingo, you win the prize. You are the first ghost who figured it out so quickly."
"Ok, first of who are you? And what happens to me now? Straight to hell right? " Botan looks at him and smiles."I am Botan and I am what you might call the Grim Reaper." Yusuke just did not want to believe what she just told him. "And no I am not taking you anywhere near hell at present at least. The prize is you get one chance to come back to life."
Yusuke just had to clear some things up. "Look you can't be the Grim Reaper or Death. You completely have some rather fair complexion, and you totally look great in that kimono. This tells me that you must have a really nice figure to pull that off. Sorry death is supposed to look like a skeleton, wearing moth-eaten robes and carrying a big scythe. Not look like someone I might want to ask on a date. "
" Well thank you for the compliment, but I am being serious here. If you do what I tell you, you can come back to life." Yusuke looked at her and smiled. "Nah, why bother my teachers will probably want to throw a party, heck make it a school holiday. My mom can get drunk with her coworkers all she wants. Plus I get to spend more time with a beauty like you."
Botan blushed three shades of red before she cleared her head enough to reply to his comments. "Why I am flattered that you would stay dead just to be with me, I can show you that people really did care about you, come on we are going to your funeral."
The two floated to where his funeral was. Half his class was there and even the principal. They all looked really sad and Yusuke hear someone scream, yell and cry. "Damn you Urameshi, who am I supposed to fight now? How could you leave me all alone? What about my sister you Damn jerk, she was finally happy now I can't get her to eat anything and she is plastered drinking that junk!? It's not fair, it should have been me. "
The principal told Kuwabara to sit down and stop making his classmates feel worse. His mother and the other enforcers were there and even the Yakuza boss and they were all crying like they all lost someone precious.
Two teachers were outside smoking and one asked why the body of the useless punk was not cremated already. The other teacher told him that the garbage incinerator was good enough for Urameshi. Botan could not believe that teachers would talk about a student like that at his funeral.
"It can't be helped. Who would have guessed the boss of a Yakuza group was his godfather. He told the police if the body of his godson, he would unite all the Yakuza and kill every cop, mortician, and their families the same day they dared to desecrate the body of the boy he consider his godson and successor. "
Yusuke was quiet as the two floated away from the seen." Botan isn't life funny. The people you figured would be relieved of seeing you dead, are the ones most sad to see you go. Who knew life was so funny. " Botan smiled, it probably meant that he was willing to try returning to life.
" Well, people never really know how much they value something until they lose it. So are you ready to try and come back to life? " Yusuke just nodded his head. In truth Koenma had already begun the work to bring him back, she just needed to take him to see him and receive the spirit beast.
She told him to grab hold of her oar and they both took off to the spirit world as soon as he did. The place looked like a giant Palace, all sorts of ghosts were outside, and some were screaming that Yusuke was cutting in line, the real shock was that ogres were the staff of this place. He even had to admit some of the lady ogres had some nice tits.
This was stopped by Botan by slapping his face hard. "If you want to see some nice tits, don't go looking at them, you just need to ask." Every lady ogre began to giggle, and Botan blushed as bright as a fresh tomato. "Anyways we need to speak with my boss the great and mighty Koenma."
They walked into the office as soon as they were granted permission. He saw a young toddler with a pacifier in his mouth and he just had to ask Botan. "Don't tell me pacifier breath here is Koenma, give me a break he looks like he is still in diapers." Botan could not help to laugh as he said that.
"Yusuke Urameshi, I am indeed Koenma, but do not let appearances fool you even though I look young, I have lived a thousand times longer than you, know all the secrets of the universe, and I happen to be quite potty trained. But enough of this foolishness. Urameshi I will return to you your life if you agree to work for me as a spirit detective. "
Yusuke wanted to hear more of the details." Yusuke, you might not believe me, but in fact, this is only an out-of-body experience, but I will need to use a very special thing to return you back into your body. I know I am going to catch hell for his but I think you would make a great spirit detective. You will no doubt be able to use spirit energy and be able to defend humans from demons. I will assign you missions to that end, and you will have Botan as your liaison between me and you. "
" So do I get a paycheck?" Koenma walked over to him, floating over to him more like. "Of course you do, it would be slavery otherwise and I hate the idea of slavery like nothing else. Hold out your hand."
Koenma placed something that looked like a chicken egg in his hand. "This is a spirit beast, It is sleeping inside the egg, should you do good things in the next three days the egg will hatch a magnificent spirit beast and it will help guide your spirit back into your body. But if you do rotten things the beast will turn on you and devour you instead. Your life like always is in your hands. "
" But a final warning, you should get someone that you trust to look after your body. You can return to it if some fool decides to cremate your body now, can you? " Yusuke got up and thanked Koenma for what he was doing for him. This caught even him by surprise," Thank me after you inside your body. Remember as a spirit you can enter into the minds of the living, and possess those who are willing. "
Yusuke knew there was someone he could trust so he asked Botan to take her to Shizuru. Even Botan had to agree, she looked a lot different without her suit on. Her tits were at least D cup, but she had no right to talk, her own kimono made her tits look smaller than they were. "She does this to hide her physical beauty from perverts, she might not look like it but she can be a rather strict mother figure."
Shizuru was crying in her sleep. Yusuke entered her mind and hugged her telling her to stop crying. "Shizuru I am coming back, but I need you to make sure nothing happens to my body and tell that drunk that is my mother to stop drinking so much, come to think of it you too need to stop drinking. It will take three days for me to awaken so make sure nothing bad happens to my body. " He kissed her lips and disappeared.
Shizuru got dressed and ran towards her lover's home. As soon as she tried to open the door using the spare key, she was hugged by Atsuko and was dragged inside the house. " I was about to punch my idiot son for dying before me when I notice he has sweated over his body, he has a heartbeat, my boy is in a comma but he is alive."
"Yusuke appeared to me in a dream, he said that he would return and that I should look after his body till he woke up, so I hope you don't mind but I need to stay in his room to look after him. " Atsuko began to laugh, " Who knew my idiot son found such a lovely, caring bride. Sure you can stay, hell you are practically family so don't worry my idiot son will not keep a lovely young woman like you waiting long. "
Botan had to ask just how intimate was he with this woman? " No need for the whole jealousy fit, she has been my friend with benefits since my last year in middle school. In fact, she was the one that punched my v card. I have been only sleeping with her ever since."
"Damn, and I was hoping to be your first too. " Yusuke looked at her and smiled at the notion." You been alive for thousands of yours and you are still a Virgin with a body like that? What is everyone blind in the spirit world?" she just laughed as she covered her mouth with her hand.
"And that is why I wear this kimono in the first place, I want my first time to be with the man that loves me, not some jerk that wants a one-night stand, I am sure you understand." Yusuke had a feeling she knew exactly what he actually did to make him so liked by the old Yakuza boss.
"Since I am going to have to do some good deeds for this to like me, how about we make sure Kazuma learns the value of proper education. It would sure make Shizuru happy if her brother stopped being such a slacker. "
She liked the fact that he was thinking of others but deep down she was jealous that he was doing it really just to make his lover happy. She wanted him to do that for her too. He entered Kuabara's mind and appeared in a dream." Hey knucklehead, aren't you going to keep studying."
"Damn, must have fallen asleep, I was taking nap before I continued with my studying. " He picked up his notebook in his own dream." Well a brainless wonder like you, it will be a miracle if you even pass this next test. " Kuwabara stopped reading his notebook." Like you are one to talk, you are dead, it's not like you will be getting better grades than me. "
" Actually dummy, I am only in a coma. I will wake up and beat you in the grades like I did your body. In three days you will have even lower grades than I do. " Yusuke disappeared and Botan was glaring at him." You were supposed to encourage him, not insult him. "
" Just watch and learn. " Sure enough Kazuma woke up screaming." Like hell you are Urameshi, I am going to ace that test and rub your stupid ugly mug in it. " Yusukewas smiling at Botan's surprised look on her face. " See, I did motivate him. You just have to know where to give h push to get good results. " Botan just said that she guessed it helps knowing so long.
The two kept watch over him and he even entered his dreams and helped him go over the questions in the chapters. To make sure he would not be bothered by the punks of his class he asked an old Yakuza buddy to keep him safe. The guy was a lieutenant in the group and looked scarier than anything these punks had to deal with. In truth, he was really a nice guy.
