[ P - Pre-Teen ]
         "So who is she? And how's the old lady?" asked Yusuke, sitting crosslegged between Genkai and the strange girl.
         "I'm not sure about the girl, but they're both in an okay condition," said Kurama, looking a little tired himself.
         "Genkai-san!" cried Yukina from down the hall. She burst through the open door and into Yusuke's apartment, throwing herself between Botan and Kurama. "Is she going to be okay? I can't believe I slept through the whole thing! This is all my fault!"
         "Yukina!" called Kuwabara, racing down the hall and through the doorway. He slammed the door behind him.
         "Quiet!" Botan shouted. Yukina and Kuwabara muttered their apologies and closed in around Genkai.
         "Is she dead yet?" asked Kuwabara, poking her in the arm. She stirred and rolled over, and he was a little alarmed. Botan fumed.
         "She's not going to die, you big oaf!" she hissed, ready to hit him. "Have some respect! We found her clinging for her life on the side of a cliff. She's lucky to have survived the entire night."
         "Okay, I'm sorry Botan," Kuwabara sighed, looking at the floor.
         "It's alright, Kazuma, I'm just tired," she groaned.
         "So she isn't going to die?"
         "Out!" Botan shoved him out the door. Yusuke decided to follow.
         Botan, Kurama, and Yukina sat at Genkai's side as they discussed her condition. Yusuke leaned against the wall by the door with Kuwabara. The door was opened slightly and he could see Botan biting her lip, Yukina wiping her eyes with her sleeve, and Kurama looking concerned. He heard fragments of his words sifting through his own deep thoughts. "Overall, her condition is quite remarkable for someone her age. She'll be fine. She only has a slight fever from being exposed to the cold and exhausting herself."
         "Urameshi," said Kuwabara. Yusuke looked at him. He looked down at the floor facing him. "Despite what everyone else thinks, I'm worried about her too."
         "I know, Kuwabara," said Yusuke. Kuwabara shook his head. "I don't think you do," he said. He walked past Yusuke and looked into the room for a minute, then walked back. "I know Botan doesn't."
         "You're worried about what Botan thinks?" asked Yusuke with a chuckle. "Who cares what Botan thinks?" He began to laugh and Kuwabara laughed too. Botan stepped out into the hall and punched Yusuke in the back of the head. "You sexist jerks, I can hear everything you're saying!" she exclaimed. "Who cares?" asked Yusuke as he rubbed the back of his head. He and Kuwabara laughed even harder.
