Chapter Twenty-Three: Business

Botan sighed, entering the Urahara Shop. She looked around curiously, her nearly customary blue Sarayashiki Junior High uniform swaying in a slight breeze from the door closing behind her. The place looked like it was just a normal candy shop. Her eyebrows furrowed together, why would Koenma send her to investigate a human candy shop? She looked at some of the sweets, "Space Candy" catching her attention. She leaned forward, she always did have a sweet tooth. But sadly, Koenma left her only a few hundred yen to purchage something or another he wanted from here.

"Can I help you?" Botan jumped slightly and swiveled around to face a blond haired man who could easily be six feet. He seemed mostly normal, except for the fact that A) he radiated in spiritual energy (and a hell of a lot of it) and B) he was wearing a bucket hat and wooden sandals.

"Um… yes… I was looking for uh…" Botan fumbled around in the briefcase she had borrowed from Keiko to complete the school girl look. She grabbed a piece of paper with Koenma's hand writing scribbled messily on it.

"Gikongan… "soul candy"." Inwardly Botan scowled, Koenma sent her all the way here for some candy? Her eyebrow twitched faintly before she managed a bright smile to the man.

"And what would a little girl like you want with something like a gikongan, hmm? I doubt you even know what it is." Botan sighed.

"If I asked for it, I would know what it is. I'm guessing that you don't leave it out for the commoners to see?" Botan bluffed, she had no clue what soul candy was, but if Koenma asked for it, it had to be dangerous to humans in some way, right?

"Your gigai is very strong, for a little girl that is." Botan coughed a bit, startled.

"I'll have you know, this is not a fake body." She covered her mouth, scolding herself for revealing that bit of information.

"Oh?" He grinned widely, and Botan nodded.

"Ferry girls don't get gigai, I would think someone like the former captain of the 12th Division of the Gotei 13 would know that." Botan huffed. She still didn't know why his shop had to be disguised as a candy shop… and why Koenma didn't tell her that Kisuke Urahara owned the place.

"A ferry girl that remembers who I was… man you must be old." Botan blushed in anger as Kisuke sat down, still looking at her. "Maybe I ought to check out your body to make sure it's not worn out or anything." Botan flushed a deeper shade of red, swinging her briefcase so that it hit him in the side of his head.

"You pervert! Ohh… Koenma can do his own investigation for this place!" Botan stormed out, obviously ruffled from the experience, as Kisuke chuckled a bit. If he knew that bratty toddler at all, the ferry girl would be back tomorrow. Rukia was suppose to stop by tomorrow too.

He was going to have fun.
