Chapter 4: Shopping Spree!

Thank you forgotten-muse08 and Death101- Fox Version, for reviewing every chapter and putting this story on your alert list! Finally thank you blood lass for putting my story on your alert list (could you plz review, I would be most grateful =3) so now on with chapter 4

"What did you do to your palm!" Koenma asked me.

"Well, I made promises." I told him. "Promises to whom?" Kuwabara asked me by now the spirit gang were starting to get more relaxed. "Family of course, me and everyone who new my dad on my mom's side made a promise not to tell anyone about him."

"Why not tell anyone about him?". "My aunt used to tell me that our family wanted to hold it's pride with people who earned their living by selling, not by taking, so when my mom fell in love with my dad they went into hiding and no one new where they were, my mom's side wanted to keep it that way so my mom's side of the family made me promise to, now matter how much my dad was perfect for my mom, they would never accept him." I told them with a look of hatred on my face as I talked about my mom's side of the family.

"So your saying your father was kind of an outlaw?" Yusuke asked with a look of awe on his face.

"Was he a smuggler?, a thief?" Koenma pushed.

"I already told you more than I should of." I said looking guiltily at the tiled floor. "well still thank you for telling me he was some one 'bad'."

Suddenly Botan's face lit up like a light bulb. "What if we click her mothers picture, will that tell us anything?" she said in a bubbly voice. "well it might give us a little." Koenma said as he clicked the picture. He looked like he really didn't want any of us to see what the picture held, he had clicked on it before.

"What happened to her." I said in a shaky voice. "I would like to pop that jerk in the jaw!" Botan yelled shaking her fist at the screen. I was hurt I couldn't believe what lay before my eye's.

The computer read "Robyn ______ was killed April 28,1696,she is one of the few metal wielders In the world. Thus people, and demons are out to get her power and use it against their enemies. Sekoi was the first out of many to succeed in doing this. For it is believed that just after Noriyuki Robyn ______ was born, (April 30, 1899) ______ had left the house presumably doing something illegal, Robyn was left at the 'house' though as powerful as she was Sekoi got into the house unnoticed by her. It is said that when Sekoi 'gets' another 'weapon' he isolates the target and threatens the life of everyone the target knows, if the target refuses the next day some one you know will die in a horrible accident. Fortunately for her she knew what would come (her uncle refused), nothing could stop him he would surround you in mist and attack when you least expect it, in other words torture to the death. It is said that once Sekoi thinks you've run your usefulness he kills you. Witnesses who have seen many die at the blade of Robyn claims that she looked hurt, not physically but mentally. And that she made the death as quick and painless as possible. You could tell she didn't want to be there. We are still not sure how she died suicide?, Or did Sekoi kill her either way we found her body sliced to bits in a cave.

"I'm, sorry" Botan whispered as she put her arm loosely around my shoulders. Before I finished reading hot tears were dying to come out as they prickled at my eyes and my throat closed up so I could barely talk even if I wanted to.

"Yikes, if what you say is true and you actually went in hiding from this creep in Makai then, then we should be protecting you!" Koenma said looking at me hard in the eye.

"You think I would lie!" I yelled at him, never minding the tear that lazily rolled down to the tip of my nose before I wiped it away. "Well I only just met you, but my father typed this so it has to be the truth. All we need to do is confirm that you were in America and well then, well boys you have your next mission!" he said in a happy voice.

"What, but I don't need protecting!" I protested.

"You will if you have to go up against this Sekoi." he said while clicking on the 'find people' button. "well if your not scared to be called a liar then what was your human name?" Koenma questioned.

"Hell no, I ain't scared to be called a liar, and besides I never lied!. And to prove it my name was Arabelle Robyn Cyst." I told Koenma. "and besides if that computer has a malfunction I've got pictures in my backpack as an alibi."

"She does have a picture." Yusuke said while Koenma pushed the 'go' button.

"Oh, you weren't lying, were you?" Koenma asked while rubbing his head. "I said I wasn't." I calmly stated.

"well boys, your new mission has now arrived!. I presume Genkai will let her stay at her temple for the time being?" Koenma asked looking at all of us in turn.

"Grandma won't mind." Yusuke carelessly said like he owned the place. " So I'll be staying at the temple?" I said as a feeling of dread came over me. "I will be able to go outside, right?" Oh, I better be able to "of course, just not all the time and alone." Koenma said looking at me then at Yusuke and Kuwabara.

"So we can go back now?" Kurama inquired. "Of course." Koenma told him (and all of us)

"let's go have tea with Yukina!" Botan said in that ever so annoying bubbly voice while she opened the same blue-green portal as we all walked it to it and started free falling, while Koenma called "good luck!"

The first thing Botan said when we were all out of the portal and everyone seemed to start relax was "Holy Heavens!" she said as everyone in the room including Yukina, who was giving everyone a cup of tea, looked at her. "You, need a new dress! I declare a shopping spree."

"A shopping spree?" I said warily. Do we have to do shopping now? Can't we postpone it until, NEVER!? But none the less I tried to hide my disgust.

"Anyone else want to go?" she said in her 'happy-go-lucky!' voice, as she looked all around the room.

"I would, but I can't leave the temple grounds while Genkai is gone, sorry." Yukina said in her lovable voice. "Oh not to worry I'm sure I'll get some one to go with us!" she said looking a little disappointed but masking it very well.

"So, is anyone else gonna come with us?" she said looking a little pleadingly.

"Well I have to get some ramen for mother, so sure I'll come." Kurama said in his always calm voice, as Botan practically jumped through the roof with excitement. Then something hit me and I said..

"But all of my money is in Makai." I said sounding a little glum for Botan's sake, but in the back of my mind I was doing cartwheels!

"Oh that's no problem I'll lend you the money, but just don't forget to pay me back." he said with a little smile as all my hopes of getting out of this went out the window on fire. I smiled at him weakly and said "You don't have to do that."

"No offense but in a few more days that dress is going to be falling off of you!" he said as I looked down and saw he was right, my dress was in ribbons.

"Fine" I agreed. "For your sake I won't buy anything to expensive." I said politely.
