Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Dreamer ❯ New Case ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter One:New Case

 

 

The Tante sat on the roof of the high school, enjoying the fresh fall air. Yusuke and Kuwabara switched stories of local legends before them while Kurama and Hiei exchanged recent reports of the Makai variety. Both pairs were content to relax and enjoy the foliage around them. School was out, but Botan had called an immediate emergency meeting, much to everyone's disappointment. Yusuke had promised Keiko to help out at her family's shop, Kuwabara had wanted to see Yukina at Genkai's, Kurama had planned to help his mother replace the window in the kitchen that his little brother had broken while playing baseball yesterday, and Hiei was content to just stay away from the Ningenkai for a bit longer. But Botan had called the meeting, and all four of the guys showed up anyway.

 

“Where is Botan?” Yusuke finally grumbled. He didn't want to wait forever.

 

“She said she had one stop before us.” Kurama mentioned. Yusuke just groaned and tilted his head back, trying to relax in the good autumn weather that Japan was having. He hadn't wanted to take on another case. The Tante had just finished with one and didn't need to have another so close. Yusuke had been hoping for at least another 3 weeks before another case would come up. Suddenly, before Yusuke could get lost too far into his own despair, Botan dropped out of the sky with her pilot's oar.

 

“You're late to your own emergency meeting Botan! This better be good!” Yusuke moaned. Botan didn't bother to look annoyed with Yusuke's comment as she launched right into describing the next case, which happened to be on high priority.

 

“Right now, in this city, is a dream demon, killing off humans with spiritual powers. Our reports estimate that he has killed about 40 n the past year, and at least 5 in these past two months alone. These are only the accounts that we have confirmed. It could be double that rate. Koenma has assigned you all to find the demon and kill him so we can save some lives. The only problem is that he has already chosen his next victim…” Botan rambled on. The Tante tried to keep up with the ferrywoman who looked distressed and upset at the news she had to deliver.

 

“Botan, relax. We need you to give us the information, so stop panicking!” Yusuke said. Koenma would be pissed if Botan botched a case because she was too emotionally involved. Yusuke sighed and looked at the gang. They all seemed a bit lazy for the day, preferring to stay put and not rush into the wild to save this next kid who was going to be a victim of a preplanned homicide.

 

“How do we find the next one?” Yusuke asked. Botan looked at him with relieved eyes.

 

“She came to us.” Botan said. Kurama looked at Botan with a great amount of interest.

 

“She came to you and Koenma?” Kurama replied. Botan nodded. Kurama felt his curiosity getting the better of him at that point.

 

“Yes, she some how came to the Reikai and knocked on Koenma's door. Koenma knows who she is of course, he keeps track of all of you humans with spiritual powers. That's why Kuwabara is an important of this team.” Botan said. Hiei smirked and scoffed at the statement.

 

“Any one who believes that the idiot is an important part of this team has never been on a team with him and his uselessness.” Hiei said. Kuwabara started bickering with Hiei until Yusuke punched him in the face to shut him up.

 

“Jesus Kuwabara, shut up!” Yusuke growled. He had never heard of a human being able to get to the Reikai without help.

 

“Where is she?” Kurama asked Botan, who looked less frightened and worried as more and more questions were being asked about the new case.

 

“She's with Genkai at the temple already. Koenma had me go and get her and make sure she was okay. She is waiting for us all to go meet her. She's very sweet.” Botan said as a side note. Kurama nodded his head, imagining that the girl would be a nobody that would not affect his life as soon as the case was done. Hiei didn't particularly care about the girl who was the next victim, he just wanted to kill the demon, as always. Yusuke was interested because he had never heard about this type of demon before. Botan looked at Kuwabara, who looked puzzled.

 

“Is she like me? Can she fight?” Kuwabara asked Botan. Botan shrugged.

 

“I don't know. But she certainly looks too calm to not have a few tricks up her sleeve.”
