Chapter Three
The Road to Being a Reikai Tantei
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Four years Gwenevere had been living with her horrible example of a father. A severe alcoholic, he forced Gwen to clean and cook all throughout the day. (Poor Gwen... ;_;) He hated Gwen for his love's death, despite the fact that it had not been her fault. She didn't have her own room, and slept on the couch, but it didn't matter much - she could only eat, sleep, or relax when her father was asleep or out on one of his frequent binges.
But, Gwen always had a smile on her face, always trying to look on the positive side of things. No matter how hard she tried, she could not remember how her mother had died, and therefore she didn't have the unpleasant memory to haunt her. She had forgotten Zarie and Hiei, though, and how she had first gotten her necklace. She only knew it had to do with her mother, or something like that.
She was very smart, but she wasn't allowed to go to school, or even go out and play on her own. In fact, she was only allowed out of the house to shop for groceries.
On a day such as this, she was walking home alone, about to choose between the long road home or the short. Normally, she chose the long route, so as to spend as little time as possible at home and thereby do as few chores as she could get away with. This time, however, she went through the shortcut down an alley, possibly since it was getting dark, and she didn't want to linger outside, afraid of what would happen if she did walk the long way in the dark.
She was carrying a heavy bag, even for her, a hanyou, and it slowed her pace, making her stop every few yards. Once as she paused, she saw something before her that, unbeknownst to her, would change her entire life.
Two gangs stood face-to-face, arguing loudly. A member of one gang whipped out a gun, pointing it at the opposing gang, shouting various taunts and waving the muzzle threateningly. A sudden motion caught her eye... a member of the opposing gang struck the gun abruptly out of the way... it faced Gwen... in the confusion, the gun was fired, and the bag Gwen had been carrying dropped to the ground. Gwen died instantly, falling after it.
The two gangs stopped fighting, looking over at her in a dull panic and called for help, but it was too late.
Gwen opened her eyes, and looked... down. She was apparently floating. Dozens of people were crowding around a little girl's body, lying below her.
"Who's that?" she asked no one in particular.
"That'll be you, silly."
Gwen looked behind her and saw a blue haired, purple eyed girl floating on an oar.
"So, how come I'm up here? I'm still alive, right?"
"Nope! Afraid not!" the girl answered in a startlingly perky tone.
"So... I'm dead? And I'm a ghost?"
"Bingo, bingo, you win the prize! You are quite smart for a little girl!"
"Who are you, anyway?" Gwen asked curiously. She had never seen a girl floating on an oar before.
"I'm Botan, pilot of the River Styx. I believe you would call me the Grim Reaper."
"Isn't the Grim Reaper suppose to be scary?" Gwen questioned skeptically, remembering her father telling her that the "scary" Grim Reaper was going to go get her if she didn't do all of her chores one day.
"That's only a legend!" Botan laughed. "It's funny how people think that I'm evil or something!"
"Umm...ok...Botan. But why are you here?"
"Well, you see, you weren't supposed to die today."
"Nani!?"
"Yes, the gangs were suppose to die, not you... That's why we have their places ready, but we didn't expect you, Gwenevere. You weren't supposed to walk the shortcut today," Botan explained, still quite cheerful, considering the circumstances. "That really threw us off! We knew you always go the long way home because of your terrible treatment at home. Strange how the mind changes its decisions so quickly."
"So couldn't I take one of the gang member's rooms?" she whined.
"Nope!" Botan replied happily. "You're not allowed to do that. It's against the Reikai Rules."
"Reikai?"
"Boy, how the young have so many questions! Reikai is the World of the Dead."
"THEN WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO IF I CAN'T GET INTO REIKAI WHEN I'M DEAD!?"
"You'll have an ordeal to bring you back to life, silly!"
"What if I don't want to go back to life?" Gwen asked instantly.
Botan looked at her curiously. "Why don't you?"
"There is a hard life. I'll be treated as no more than a slave when I get back home."
"You are very confusing, Gwenevere," Botan said thoughtfully, taking out a book. "Ah, here we are... in my guidebook. You're very smart, mature, and kind, but you don't show your sadness or anger in front of people, so they won't worry about you or hate you. You sure you don't want to go back to life?"
Gwen only looked at her, her face unreadable.
"Fine, Gwen. I see you haven't changed your mind. I'll let you watch your wake, then I'll come for your decision." Botan left with a spin of her oar.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
At the wake, Gwenevere didn't see many people. Her father was just sitting there, and the two gangs stood by the door nervously.
The leader of one of the gangs appeared to be the spokesperson for all of them.
"Little girl, if it wasn't for you, we would've kept shooting and all, killing each other. But instead, you were the one killed... We saw our wrongdoings, and will turn good for you. Thank you."
They left, consoling each other, and Gwen's father stood, moving over to look at her coffin.
"I'm such a fool..."
Gwen's eyes widened.
"...If only I had been a better father. I would be a better father if you could come back. I lost Aliana... I don't want to lose you too..."
"Father..." Gwen whispered, smiling a bit.
"Well?" Botan asked, appearing out of nowhere at her side.
She looked at Botan, slightly startled, but recovering quickly. "Let's do the ordeal."
Botan jumped. "Oh, this is going to be so much fun!" Gwen sweatdropped.
Botan grabbed Gwen's hand and flew to Reikai.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
They reached the River Styx and Botan pulled Gwen on the oar.
"That's the River Styx, and there..." Botan pointed to a huge gate. "There is the Gate of Judgement."
"So you bring the ghosts here to be judged?"
"Mm-Hm!" Botan nodded as they stopped in front of the gate and got off the oar.
"Botan here! I have Hakusa Gwenevere with me," Botan said into an intercom.
"Okay, Botan. Come in!" a voice replied through the intercom.
Then the door opened with a creak. Gwen jumped.
"It looks like a throat..." Gwen exclaimed, looking through the cavernous corridor.
They walked down and reached another door. It opened to reveal hundreds of orges working. They were using telephones, speaking loudly, and doing paperwork, rushing past each other and occasionally crashing in their haste.
'What the...' Gwen thought, as she watched them working as if in a stock market. Botan and Gwen appeared at another set of doors.
"Oh come on! Another door?"
"Yes, another door," Botan laughed.
Gwen growled.
Botan smiled. 'She's such a hanyou. She has Aliana's temper.'
The doors opened, and Gwen saw a toddler sitting in a large, cushy chair in front of a desk.
"Hello, Gwenevere. I'm Koenma, son of King Enma, ruler of Reikai, Makai, and Ningenkai," the toddler announced.
"Uh...but you're a baby..." Gwenevere said, giggling.
Botan sweatdropped as Koenma's eyebrow twitched.
"I appear as a baby, but I assure you, I am nearly fifty times older than you."
Gwen quickly clamped down on her laughter, knowing that she should respect her elders.
"I saw your file... and you had a terrible past. But you want to go back, right?" Koenma asked, flipping through a file as an orge put a fresh stack of papers on the desk.
Gwen nodded, watching the orges in the room scurry around, holding papers out and filing them.
"I see that you have a clean slate and a good heart. Your ordeal is in this egg," Koenma told her, flourishing the tiny golden egg dramatically, interrupting Gwen's interest at the orges' work.
"An egg?" Gwen asked him with an anime fall.
"YES! An egg. You are so curious about everything," he berated, a little annoyed by Gwen's growing curiosity.
Gwen got up. "What do I do with it?"
"Simple. Just keep the egg with you at all times. It will draw off of your spirit and grow, until it is ready to hatch. But, you have to be a Reikai Tantei for us once your egg hatches, which won't be until next year."
"Two questions. One, what is a Reikai Tantei, and two, what happens when the egg is hatched?"
"The answer to question one is that a Reikai Tantei helps Reikai in its various cases. As a Spirit Detective. And answer number two, a Spirit Beast will hatch out of it. Since you're kind hearted, you should have a guide that will help you in your cases, or else, if your true heart has been cruel and selfish, you will hatch a Spirit Beast that will be the same, and it will devour you.
"Botan here will help you along with your spirit cases and give you items that will aid you during the missions."
Gwen was handed the egg, and she hesitantly took it.
Gwenevere and Botan came back to Ningenkai after their meeting with the demi-god.
"You do know that they will cremate your body tomorrow," Botan warned.
"I know, but won't I be in my body tomorrow?" Gwen asked, smiling.
"Oh...oh yes, of course!" Botan smacked her forehead. Gwen and Botan laughed as Gwen's heartbeat started, and she started breathing. Her father opened up the coffin to see he wasn't as drunk as he usually was, and saw her cheeks have a shade of faded pink.
"Oh Kami! Is my daughter alive!?" He checked her pulse and it was normal. He was so happy, he started praising Enma for her resurrection. Gwen and Botan watched him through a nearby window, and they smiled.
"How can my body be breathing?" Gwen asked the Grim Reaper.
"It's just a procedure so your body and spirit can be one again. It's a very catious step if you want to get back to life."
So the next day, Gwen said goodbye to Botan.
"Oh, I'll see you later, Reikai Tantei," Botan said with a wink. Gwen laughed.
"So all I gotta do is just lay on my body?" Gwen questioned. Botan nodded, and Gwen turned to her body, laying down on it. She felt very weird as her soul transferred into her body, making her alive again.
Gwen opened her eyes, seeing she was alive. She stood up shakily, looking over to where Botan had been floating placidly by the window. "Ja ne, Botan."
She held the egg in her hand, knowing that, in one year, she would discover her true nature, and find out what her Spirit Beast would look like.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
"Okay, one year," Gwen said to the egg as she lay on her stomach on her bed, looking at it inquiringly. Since she had apparently risen from the dead, her father had given her a room of her own, and allowed her to go out and even to school.
Knock! Knock!
The egg, laying on the edge of the bed, slid off onto the floor as Gwen jumped.
"Come in..." she said innocently.
Her dad came in and said, "I'll be going out... I'll probably won't be home till late."
"... Okay... " Gwen muttered. Her dad kissed her forehead and left. Then a thought hit her.
"The egg!" she gasped.
She looked all over her room frantically.
"Where could it be?!" she yelled, throwing things about, looking for her tiny golden egg. She then looked under the bed.
"There you are!" she exclaimed, as she gently grabbed the egg. She crawled out from under the bed, and sat up in the middle of her room when she noticed a crack on the egg.
"Uh oh..." Gwenevere whispered as she stared at the crack, when suddenly more cracks began to appear. "What the...?"
The egg was hatching! Then a light blinded Gwen, making her cover her eyes. When she could see again, she heard a soft feminine voice.
~Hello, Gwenevere.~
Gwen looked around her room, confused. Then she saw a kitten sitting on her bed. A very strange kitten, in fact. She was white and pink, and she didn't have a kitten's ears, but rather, two antennae.
"So, you're my Spirit Beast?" Gwen asked the strange kitten.
~Yes, that seems right.~ Gwen saw that the feline didn't move her mouth as she spoke to her.
"How can you talk without moving your mouth?"
~By telepathy.~
"Cool! Now what to call you..." Gwen walked around the room, holding one hand to her chin, looking at the vase of carnations sitting on her desk. "How about Carnation?"
~A flower? Well, okay,~ Carnation thought, not minding the name itself so much as the fact that she was being named after a flower.
Gwen was already in her two white piece pajamas, and she climbed into bed. Carnation curled up and laid close to her. Gwen fell asleep knowing that, soon, she would be called back to Reikai to become a Reikai Tantei.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Hiei: I think I'm dying.
Kurama: *laughs* This is the longest that he has not been eating sweet snow.
Hiei runs to the fridge and yells.
Hiei: NOOOOOOOO! *falls to his knees as he sees the fridge locked by about a thousand locks* THE HORROR!
