This will be my first FF.N story. Wish me luck

Disclamer: I only owe Mariko. Well I don't really own her either since I'm a minor and apparently minors can't own property. We're all slaves I tell you. SLAVES. chanting I don't own it. I don't own it. I don't own it. . .

Chapter 1: In which the story begins

"Stay in here," shouted Koenma over the piles of papers on his desk.

"But big brother," whined the little girl as she slowly withdrew her hand from the doorknob, "I'm bored. REALLY bored."

Koenma looked hurt. "Mariko, you really think I'm boring?" He then proceeded to put on a super pathetic face, complete with watery eyes and a pout.

Mariko sweatdropped. "Yes."

Koenma gave up the cute act. "Umm. here. Have some candy." He then took out said candy from his desk drawer. Not just a little bit of candy too, I mean the entire drawer was filled. However Koenma would soon learn the hard way that bribing an already hyper child with sugar is destined to blow up in your face.

Two Hours Later.

"Look Koenma!" Mariko screamed as she launched herself off of a wall. "I can FLY!!!!!!" She had been bouncing off the walls quite literally since he gave her candy. It happened to be at that moment that Botan appeared.

"It's about time Botan," Koenma shouted over the noise.

"What did you want?" She asked innocently. She obviously hadn't noticed the hyper child gnawing on her leg. "Is it another mission for Yusuke?"

"Umm, actually it has more to do with the kid trying to eat you." Koenma sweatdropped.

Botan looked surprised and tried to pull Mariko off of her. After five minutes of struggling Mariko was finally staved off thanks to Botan's oar. "What's wrong with her!?" Botan cried.

"So many things," Koenma muttered to himself. To Botan, however, he said, "She's my little sister Mariko."

Botan, thinking him finished interrupted. "Ooh. I get it."

Koenma glared at the deity. She must be getting it from Yusuke. "I wasn't finished," he said huffily. " Someone tried to kill her. We don't know who, we don't know why and she keeps trying to wander off. Somehow she manages to sneak away from the ogres. Father said if anything happens to her." Koenma left the sentence hanging and gulped.

Botan was getting confused now. "He wants YOU to protect HER?!"

Koenma ignored the jab to his ego. "I brought you here to take care of her. Please Botan?" He then pulled out the sad face. Botan kept her will strong only because of the bite marks on her leg.

Botan was worried about the obviously insane child. Koenma obviously couldn't handle her and Botan was too scared of what the kid could do. Suddenly an idea formed in her head. "Maybe we should ask Yusuke to watch her." She said. She grinned but looked worried in case Koenma ignored her idea.

Koenma thought about it. Meanwhile Mariko had gotten bored of trying to get past the oar to eat Botan. While the two deities conversed Mariko had completely chewed up Koenma's papers and fell asleep on their remains. Koenma had unfortunately just noticed this

"Please take her now," he said almost in tears. Botan nodded, picked up Mariko, and got on the broom. With that all done the death deity and the girl whose hyperness had just started to fade left. As they were leaving George the ogre came rushing in.

"Koenma, are you all right?" he cried. "I heard strange noises coming from inside the room.

Koenma, now ready to have a full-blown temper tantrum bopped the ogre upside the head.
