Thank you for the reviews

A lonely wolf (chapter II)

When Kurama was about to replay, his compact from Koenma ringed.

"Hn. What does the toddler want from us now?" asked Hiei looking at Kurama opening the compact with curiosity. In the screen appeared their boss in his kid form.

"Kurama, I need you to be in Reikai in 20 minutes. If you can, please contact Hiei. The others will be here as well…Huh?" Koenma peeked in the screen only to be surprised that Hiei is there.

"Oh. I see Hiei is with you. That will be much easier. I'll give you to the details about the mission when you'll arrive. That's all." and the screen went black.

"Well, lets get going." said Hiei after he jumped from the window. Kurama went downstairs to get his keys. Good thing that his parents and brother were on vacation in Hawaii. They asked him if he wanted, but Kurama kept telling that he had other plans for summer, so they went without him.

After they were both outside, a portal appeared in front of them. They stepped in it only to be teleported near the The Reikai Gate. When they neared Koenma's office, they had to cover their ears because of the voice of an angry teenager that was yelling at his boss.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT WHEN YOU CALLED ME AT THIS FREAKIN HOUR!? Oh wait, don't answer my question. YOU WEREN'T THINKING!!!" yelled Yusuke. He was wearing a white shirt and jeans. Near him was standing a yawning Kuwabara. He was wearing a black shirt and a pair of black jeans.

"Yusuke, lets hear what Koenma has to say." said Kurama as he entered the room after he uncovered his ears. Being a fox he had keen ears. It was good to have keen ears, but it can be very painful especially when a guy like Yusuke is yelling.

"Detective! After this mission I'll cut your tongue!" threaten Hiei. Unlike Kurama, Hiei was short tempered. Yusuke gulped. Of all the demons that he met, Hiei scared the shit out of him, but of course, he wouldn't admit it to anyone, especially to Hiei. So, he shut his mouth and let Koenma to talk.

"So, why you called us?" asked Kuwabara for the first time since they arrived. He was so tired that he didn't notice Hiei arrived and didn't start teasing him about all the little things.

"We have to wait for Botan. She has to be present as well." Answerd Koenma while looking into a file.

"I'm already here" answered a female voice. They (save for Kuwabara) turned to see who it was. Botan was leaning against a wall. She was acting differently off all the times they saw her. Her eyes were serious and she wasn't cheerful, but they thought that it's because of the time that Koenma had chosen to call them. Well, she thought differently. 'Great! First he gives me a day off and now he calls me for a mission. I don't even understand why I am needed here.' She was angry because Koenma finally gave her a day off and she still has to work. Well, she calmed herself when she saw Kurama. And still, she surprised/startled them. They were so preoccupied with their argument, that they didn't notice her arrival.

"Botan, don't do that again, please." said Yusuke. He thought he'll have a heart attack. Kurama was only a bit startled. 'How I didn't notice her? Maybe I'm just tired". Even Hiei was surprised that he didn't noticed her. Kuwabara was still sleepy and wasn't paing attention to anything.

"Now that we are all here, let me tell you about the mission." All the attention was directed at Koenma. In a second, a BIG screen appeared in front of Koenma's desk. The Tanteis and the deity were standing near the desk to see the screen.

"It's about a very powerful demon that kills everyone he sees only to find another demon. He killed 26 ferry girls that were ferrying souls in Makai and killed 896 demons only in one week. That's why the deaths increased, you know about this Botan." Said Koenma after he turned the television on. At the screen appeared a battle field. The lifeless bodies of hundreds of demons could be seen. It was an awful image. Many of the victims were torn apart, their organs were everywhere. Blood was everywhere.

Kuwabara thought that all the food he ate yesterday will be presented in front of him. Yusuke felt sorry for the victims and was furious on the bastard altogether. 'What a psycho! How dare he kill those demons?' He thought. Hiei was disgusted. Kurama was calm as usual. He was used seeing this kind of scene. He took a glance at Botan. Her eyes gone wide from the image she saw. He wanted to close her eyes but didn't act on his emotions. This kind of images could bring nightmares and he didn't want this to happen (yeah, she already has nightmares), but what he didn't know, was that Botan already saw an image like this one already. She was shocked because she knows a demon that kills his victims in the same manor. '…but…it can't be! He's dead! No…it's not him…it's just another demon…yeah…another demon…' she tried to calm herself, but her heart was beating so fast that she thought that it will skip from her chest.

"As you see, whoever it is, is very strong." Added Koenma breaking everyone's thoughts.

"Who is the bastard?" asked the former delinquent. He was eager to punch the person who did this.

"Yeah, who's the demon who could kill his alike in this manor?" asked the one and only Kuwabara.

"You better not know if you don't want to have their fate, idiot." Commented Hiei.

"What did you say, shrimp?"

"Hn. Deaf and dumb plus idiot equals Kuwabara. I'll have to remember that."

"Shut up shorty, or I, the mighty Kuwabara will-"

"Would you two, SHUT THE HELL UP! I'm trying to find some answers here!" shouted a very angry Yusuke stopping their argument. Kurama just rolled his eyes.

"Please, continue." He said to Koenma.

"Thank you. Now to answer your question, look at the screen." Said their boss pushing a button on the remote control. On the screen appeared a demon that looked like a simple human if not the sharp ears that he had. He had long silver-white hair tied in a low pony-tail and cold golden eyes.

"His name is-" Koenma was about to say but was cut.

"Oh my…" whispered rather loud Botan. The guys turned to her, only to see Botan covered in sweat shaking madly. Her eyes were wide, showing fear…no…not fear…HORROR! Like someone murdered her family in front of her eyes! They were staring at her in concern. Never, in all their years they saw her this terrified.

"Botan? Are you felling all right?" asked Kurama. Concern was heard in his voice. He took a step forward. Botan just gulped and asked horrified.

"Nakamaru!?"

Why is Botan so terrified about this Nakamaru guy? Will her past be finally discovered? Will this mission shatter her life again and has she feelings for Kurama?

I don't know now myself sweat drop but I'll try to make it more interesting for you.

Please review!

Ja ne!
