"I wouldn't talk bad about her when you're in here, Yusuke." The girl said. "What she is allows her to hear every word spoken in her territory."
"Didn't answer my question, Botan." Yusuke shot back. "Kurama, you tell me why we need to find her. And I don't want to hear what you have to say about this, Kuwabara."
"Koenma didn't say." was his reply.
"She's not even here, is she?" Kuwabara asked. He was answered by a scream. "What the hell was that?"
A figure took its form from the shadows. "Your worst nightmare…death." the voice was cold and echoed through their bodies. Slowly, it lifted the pitch black hood that hid its face. Botan gasped in fear.
Its skin was white as the snow that fell, dark red/black circles lay resting under its eyes, which were such a pale blue they looked white as well. The lips were as black as night.
"What exactly do you want?" Botan asked.
"Your souls." it whispered venomously, and started to attack. Caught of guard, the four boys weren't ready to defend. But a voice echoed through the area.
"Back off, Death." it ordered. A new figure appeared, landing in front of the group. Death paid no mind to the new comer, a girl it seemed.
"Stay out of my way, wolf!" he ordered. "They're my dinner since you're too strong for me to devour!"
"Not in this lifetime." the girl replied. "Kinokima!" A dark grey, black and white wolf appeared and hit the thing called death broadside. When it received a nod from the girl it ran off toward the east.
