"It's been a long time since our first mission" Keiko said and take a scoop of her dessert.
The girls (Botan, Shizuru, Yukina, and Keiko) have decided to meet up in a cafe near Kurama's school. The guys have lessened their over-protectiveness, keyword: Lessened. They only lessened, but that doesn't mean they're not going to be hard on them anymore.
Who knows what will happened if they leave them out of their sight for a second.
"Yeah, but too bad for Yukina, she didn't get to test her powers on the fourth guardian" Botan said and look at the teal-haired maiden beside her.
"I was a little disappointed, but that's okay" Yukina just smiled gently.
"Also it's a good thing that she didn't fight, Hiei-san might know about it and might try to kill off Kirochi and the-who's that guy again?" Keiko asked through their mindlink.
"I don't quite remember, but let's forget it now" Botan said, smiling.
Shizuru stretch her arms. "It's really refreshing to be with you, girls. It's really annoying at the fact my little bro is also so protective of me. He even guard outside the bathroom when I'm going to take a bath" she snorted.
Botan clasped her hands together. "Kuwa-chan is so sweet, protecting his older sister"
Keiko raise an eyebrow at her. "Why do you sound like that? Is your Onii-san not protecting you?"
The blue-haired deity suddenly flinch when she remembered something.
"That's not quite it. Onii-san is sooo protective, there's always a time to what I do everyday. If I'm going to take a bath, I have to be in the bathroom for only 3 minutes. Changing my clothes for only 1 minute, not giving me a chance to pick and I have to be with him everyday even in his school. If I wanted to go to the toilet room, it's only for 1 minute and if I didn't get back in time, he would dash out of the classroom and drag me back inside his classroom even tying me in my chair with a rope and —"
"Okay, okay Botan, we already get the picture. But girl, I can't believe that Kurama would do that. You have to ferry souls, right? Did he let you go?" Shizuru asked, curiously.
"No" she huffed. "He forced me to be with him and told Koenma-sama to find another ferry girl to ferry the souls"
Yukina chuckled when Botan slumped down on her seat, she patted her back.
"Kurama-san is really a nice older brother" she smiled.
Botan smiled. "Yeah, I never felt like that before. I feel like he's really my older brother, I wouldn't even mind if he's really my biological brother"
Keiko giggled.
"What about you, Keiko-san? Is Yusuke-san being protective of you also?" Yukina turn towards the brunette.
The said teen blushed as she fiddled her index fingers, looking away when her friends gave her an amuse smiles.
"Well, sweetie? What happened?" Botan urged.
Keiko fan her hot face. "We-Well, Yusuke always walk me towards the school, he even went to class, then join me for lunch, then walk me back home. That's his routine everyday, sometimes he wouldn't go to class, but he's staying outside our classroom, sleeping in the hallway"
"Awww...Yusuke is also so sweet. He must have care about you too much" Botan cooed.
They laugh when Keiko's face suddenly turn into a resemblance of a tomato.
"Now Yukina dear, who's the one being protective of you?" Botan turn towards the ice maiden, she got hunch that Hiei is the one protecting her.
"Well, these days I always saw Hiei-san in his usual tree, so I always made snacks for him in case he's hungry because he's always there until night time" the ice maiden answered.
"Oh, really? That's nice of him to protect you" Shizuru smirked.
"I know and I wanted to thank him"
Botan suddenly snapped her fingers. "Bingo! I have an idea on how to give the guys our thanks"
"Really? Let's hear it!" Keiko said, excitedly.
They all lean in towards Botan, giggling and nodding from time to time. Now unbeknownst to them, the overprotective guys that they were talking about earlier were just seating few tables away from them, wearing disguises that made them stand out.
The people inside the cafe were glancing at them from time to time as if they were some gangsters that they should be alert with.
"What do guys think they were talking about?" Kuwabara asked, peeking through the menu he's hiding with.
"Beats me" Yusuke turn towards the fire demon. "Hiei, can you read their minds"
"Tsk. Don't order me around, detective. I'm not your servant " he crossed his arms and looking away from the scowling spirit detective.
"Why you mid —" he was halted by Kurama.
"Please calm down, Yusuke. We don't want to attract the girls' attention, it's already bad enough that we attract other people's attention"
"Argh! Fine" he sat down, grumbling.
"Guys! Look, the girls were heading this way!" Kuwabara exclaimed, immediately hiding behind his menu. The guys immediately did the same as they stayed quiet and listen to the girls' conversation.
"I know some guys that can help us" Shizuru says.
"Guys?" the rekai tantei thought.
"Really? That's great, but first the guys musn't know about this" Botan said.
"What?!"
"We need to think of a perfect..."
The guys haven't heard th e rest of the statement, making them look up. They saw the girls, exiting the cafe. They immediately scramble to stand up, following after them.
"There's no way I let her with a bunch of guys!" they thought.
Short update, sorry
