Chapter 3 Discovery.
Botan went flying her mission. Get the Tentai out of retirement and into the working force again. She arrived at Yuusuke and Keiko's Ramen shop. There Yuusuke was laughing as Keiko kissed him and went out to serve a customer. Changing into street clothes walked into the shop and took a seat.
Keiko saw her, her eyes lighting up. "Be right with you." Botan nodded and waited.
Yuusuke was stirring a huge pot of ramen and looked to be having fun. He was much different to the half-demon of Raasin's descendant.
Finally Keiko came over and Botan rose and said, "Good to see you!" As she hugged Keiko felt a slight bulge at her friend's stomach.
"You're pregnant?" Botan asked excited.
Keiko nodded, "What are you here for?" She asked sitting down with her.
"I am sorry to tell you this but I have come to take Yuusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei out of retirement for a case." Botan said with the slight sorrow.
"oh." Keiko said suddenly worried. "I'll tell Yuusuke."
She walked carefully over to her husband who was finishing with a large pot and cutting up something more for another.
His brows darkened then he smiled a carefree smile kissed Keiko and then calling to the back. "Hamien, I am going out, watch the pots for me. I might be gone awhile. Help Keiko out when you can or even if you can't"
Botan heard a "yes sir" from the back. He came out brushing off his clothes and sitting down at her table.
"Alright Botan what is going on? My wife seems worried and I don't want her worried when I am going to be a dad soon." he stated as he looked at her.
"Koenma has been illegally keeping a secret from his father and King Enma found out." Botan said in a rush.
"What has the toddler done now?" He said looking confused.
"Well he's not a toddler anymore. He has the pacifier changed to a ring now. He is in a teenager form." Botan corrected him.
"Oh well I can still call him younster." He said with a chuckle, "Now what has he done that he needs my help again?" He asked very curious.
"You know those people you searched for a long time ago, the bat and fox, the two ladies and the little girl?" Botan asked.
"Yes I remember. The tall lady friend of the other lady died and so on…" Yuusuke said remembering.
"Well, Koenma is introuble for letting the bat marry the Dark and have children, two children. And for losing the soul of Light…Yuusuke he never lost it. He filed it lost because she is still alive." Botan said with all seriousness that was so unlike her.
"So, what am I supposed to do?" He asked now confused to what he was supposed to be doing.
With tears in her eyes Botan said, "You're supposed to capture the bat and his family, take them to King Enma and he will "fix" the problem. Then once you're done there you are supposed to go and look for the lost soul with this." She pulled out a pair of reading glasses that Yuusuke put on at first it just seemed like he was staring through plain glass till he looked out the windows outside.
There were spirited souls everywhere!
"Cool!" He said pocketing the glasses.
"So I will meet all of you at the park and from there I will take you to Makia." Botan said standing.
"Hm…Okay see you there." He said rising and going towards Keiko.
He quickly told what he was doing to Keiko and she made him swear not to get hurt. He promised he would do his best. Then set out to find the others.
At the library in a private room where it was sound proof he knocked on the door. The door opened and Shizuru opened it looking like she was going to kill someone.
"What to you want Urameshi?" She demanded.
"I need to take Kuwabara with me out of retirement. We have a mission." He said.
"Sorry but…" She was interrupted by Kuwabara's orange head sticking out of the door.
"A mission goody, that means I can get away from all these tests." He said looking brain tired.
"Fine." his sister said, "You can go on your mission but I am coming and you are going to keep studying for your college tests."
"OOooh"He groaned. As Shizuru picked up the books they had been studying and putting them in a bag said, "Let's go I'm ready."
Yuusuke smiled and laughed. "Come on Hiei should be at the park already, Botan said she would find him and tell him everything."
All the way to the park Shizuru was asking him questions, "Alright brother Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole…"She paused and read the statement, "True to her altruistic beliefs, Natalie ------- the ------- attitude of her colleague that a client represented nothing more than a source of income and an opportunity for advancing one's professional reputation.
#1 applauded . . Conscientious #2 condoned . . Aggressive #3 lamented . . Mercenary #4 adopted . . Egotistical or finally #5 belittled . . Magnanimous?"
Kuwbara paused in his thinkinig and Yuusuke thought, "That's a hard question an idiot like him wouldn't beable to answer that."
"The answer is #3 Lamented…Mercenary, because Natalie, an "altruistic" person, would lament the attitude of a greedy and ambitious colleague whom she would describe as "mercenary."" Kuwbara stated as they entered into the park.
"very good brother, that was a hard one. One to the next one." Shizuru said reading while walking.
Yuusuke shook his head, this was going to be one interesting mission…
Krystal Fox: Like it I love it! Plus the questions that I will be putting in here are actual questions used in past SAT tests, so for the fun of it you can try and figure out the question too! It might be fun to see how much you know.
