Of All Of A Sudden

Koenma cleared his throat and continued speaking with the expected person in his office. He asked, "Okay, are we clear for the duties you will be held responsible for?"

''Yes, Koenma-sama, I will do my duties to the best of my knowledge and skills," Yuuhei answered in a calm voice.

''And one more thing,'' Koenma looked at him seriously and continued, ''You will also be held responsible for Botan. I want you both to leave and return safely since it is Makai we are talking about.''

Yuuhei replied, ''Yes Koenma-sama, take care of her you may say.''

The conversation between them was interrupted by few knocks on the door and it soon revealed Botan.

oooooooooo

Yusuke and Keiko were to spend their movie date.

''I hope to see them again. It's been a year," Keiko told him seriously.

Yusuke smiled at her and replied, ''Sure thing, we will. We just don't know when.'' He keep his senses up noticing that someone is following them behind. ''Whoever you are? I'm gonna kick your ass just the same if you dare come nearer,'' he thought to himself.

''I didn't mean to be an interruption to both of you,'' a manly voice spoke from behind that made them look at him. ''My, I'm sorry! I haven't tell anything of who might be am,'' the man said in apology.

''You better speak now or else if you are planning to ruin our date. Well, that would be nice, I haven't kick any ass lately,'' Yusuke told him proudly.

His first sentence moved Keiko but upon hearing the second one, she decided to give him a smack on the forehead.

''Yusuuuukkkkeeee! Why you! Hmp!'' Keiko shouted at him. Looking at the stranger she smiled and apologized, ''I'm sorry mister for the rudeness of him. How we may help you?''

''No, no, it's okay. By the way I am Yuuhei. I am from Reikai and kind of know your friend,'' he said introducing himself to somehow get their attention, ''Botan."

''Oh, Yes! Botan! If this is about her, how is she? How can we help? We will cancel our date for it,'' she exclaimed and looked at Yusuke for a response.

''Tch! Ahm, yeah, sure we will.''

Yuuhei gave them a reassuring smile and told the help he will need, ''I hope you will help me to gather the group, your circle of friends this afternoon. It's okay whichever place it would be.''

''In old hag's, that would be the best place,'' Yusuke interrupted.

Yuuhei agreed in what he suggested and continued, ''She would be arriving soon here in Ningenkai and she doesn't know anything about what I'm planning for her. Koenma-sama told me that none of you knew of her tomorrow's departure for Makai. There, she would be working for a month or two. I hope we could give her something special to remember or a departure party you may say.''

Yusuke and Keiko stared at him with a bit shock on their face. They somehow doubted him. Perhaps she may know about Botan but he doesn't have any proof for them to believe. Why all of a sudden of that news. This is more to what they thought of. They thought he would be some guy that kind of admire her and wanted to give her something to please her and confess his admiration or love that they might witness. They haven't heard any news recently from Reikai then this guy would just turn up. What is going on? And Yuuhei on the other side could see through their doubt. He decided to tell them something that would convince them. And so they agreed to gather the group at Genkai's.

After 15 minutes...

''Yes, we got almost everyone even Hiei since he is checking up on Yukina this week. I asked Yukina to tell Hiei to stay. For sure, he would not insist. But then, I'm sorry. I guess Kurama will not be around. He is out of town. We don't know when will he come back. Kuwabara and Shizuru said they will bring food. I guess we head out for the place to prepare," Yusuke informed them about the others before placing his phone on his pocket.

oooooooooo

''I am really surprised to know about that sis,'' Kuwabara continued his conversation with Shizuru as they exit the pizza house. He got no response from her so he looked up at what caught her attention.

''Kurama!'' Kuwabara exclaimed unexpectedly.

Shizuru eyed his brother quite indignantly. She scolded him, ''You know, we could just walked up to him instead of getting public attention.'' Shizuru sighed as she started to walk and Kuwabara just followed.

''I didn't mean to shout that loud and to get public attention. I kind of got excited to know we would be complete tonight,'' Kuwabara said truthfully.

His name being mentioned in public did not pass unnoticed at him. Kurama knows very well who it was. He looked at the two who approached him. "Oh, hi Kuwabara and Shizuru! It's been a while," he greeted and smiled at them.

''Kurama, when did you arrive? We will be at Genkai's and everyone will be there even Hiei,'' Kuwabara excitedly told him.

He replied, ''I just arrived this morning and I ordered take out meal for my family and they are currently waiting for me at the parking area.''

''So that's it!'' Shizuru said, ''Your presence will be much appreciated at Genkai's tonight. We are happy you're back. It's for Botan that's why we are gathering. Yusuke called and told us that Botan would be assigned in another place. She would be staying there for a month or two as soon as her job is finished she would be back.''

''Isn't that other place is Makai?'' Kurama asked raising an eyebrow at them.

Shizuru only nodded at him.

''We are also surprised at the news. We only knew about it all today. It's such a nice thing having seen you here. So, the group will be complete with you,'' Kuwabara told him.

''Hmmm... Well then, expect my presence there.''
