Chapter One -
A Ningen's Life"Botan!" Minat'te, Botan's new ningen mother called from downstairs in the kitchen, "It's time for school." Botan heard her say as the word, "School" rang in her head.
"Yee-ha!" Botan shouted as she remembered something, she'd finally get to see the gang again. It's been three years and Botan still hasn't told the group about her new identity.
She jumped out of her neatly folded bed and ran to her closet. 'Hmm.. what's appropriate for school? Matte! I have to wear a uniform like Keiko's!' Botan's pupils diminished into small dots. 'I don't have one!'
She looked through her color coded closet full of clothes. "Botan, are you up? Your uniform dress is in the drier, it had a stain so I washed it."
Minat'te walked into her room, "Go take your shower. You can walk with the neighborhood kids to school, I'm sure they go to the same school."
"Neighborhood kids? You must mean.. Yusuke!" She shouted as she looked out the window to see Yusuke's window straight across from hers, he was still asleep until Atsuko rushed in and slapped him with a broom.
Botan laughed as she turned her attentions back to her mother, "Oh sorry kasaan, did you say anything?" She asked as her mother popped her head back into her room,
"Oh I said that your breakfast will get cold so just take a pop tart and do with that." Minat'te said as she pulled her head back out of the door and walked away.
~*~
Botan hummed as she stepped into the shower, 'This is going to be great! I get to see Kuwabara- Yusuke- Keiko- ..and Kurama after school!' She thought as the hot water rinsed down her.
'So soothing!' She giggled to herself and then thought more about school, 'But wait a minute, what about the school work? It's been so long since I've known my biology and algebra!' She squealed.
"Botan! I have to take my bath, hurry." Ryo, her brother, knocked on the door. It was his fourth year of school, now in the third grade.
"Urasai Ryo-san!" Botan shouted, since they met, she've became more tougher towards him. "I have to leave before you do and so nana!" She said as Ryo growled,
"Kasaan!!!" Ryo shouted as he pounded on the door, "Botan-san's taking so long!" He shouted as Botan growled back,
"You're such a big baby!" Botan shouted as she opened the door with her hair wrapped in a towel along as her body was, dripping from just stepping out.
"Move it!" He ran through the small crack between Botan and the door frame and slammed the door in her face, "Bust!" He shouted as Botan screeched.
"Ka-"
"Botan, Ryo! Stop all that rumpus!" Minat'te shouted as she walked into her own room, "Ryo you need to go over Suzane's today because I'm going to work over time-"
"No way am I going over that girl's house!" Ryo shouted back to Minat'te as she came out of her room with her suit. You can tell Ryo was getting more into the "Pokemon`" "Dragonball Z" interest section.
"Well go where ever you usually go because I'm not going to be able to pick you up from school." Minat'te said as she put on her work pumps, "I'm leaving quite early this morning sweeties, make sure Ryo goes!"
"How kasaan? I'll be gone!" Botan shouted from her room while dressing into her school uniform. "Remember?"
"Take Ryo with you, you can't leave him here. If your father was here he could stay but now that he's in Illinois for sometime, he can't."
"Aw kasaan." Botan said sticking out her bottom lip as she walked into the bathroom and Ryo ran outside.
"Gomen Botan. And please try to put your lip gloss on without making a mess." Minat'te said as she walked towards the door with her purse and suit case, "Thank god you don't wear make-up." She mumbled.
"Ok kasaan!" Botan said as she heard the door close. Ryo opened it back up and ran inside, "Botan some guys are fighting! Come look, quick!" Ryo shouted as Botan grabbed her book bag and rolled her eyes.
"Who are they?" She walked out behind him and saw the black slick haired boy fighting the carrot top boy as the brunette girl watched amused. 'Yusuke! Kuwabara! Keiko!!!' Her head screamed.
Botan wanted to run out to them but she had forgot to get her pop tart and she forgot to put her hair bow on. When she walked back outside all she saw was the carrot top getting off the ground.
Kuwabara sat mumbling as he heard someone creeping from behind, "Kuwabara!" Botan said as she jumped and clung onto his back.
"Huh?" Kuwabara tried to turn around to see who it was. "Who's that?" He asked as he tried slinging them off. Then he saw Ryo, "Oh hey Ryo. I thought you were on my back." o.O
"No! It's me!" Botan jumped off as Kuwabara turned around to see his friend. "Oh! Hey um.." Kuwabara made a confused face, "Pretty girl with white hair..."
"Oh Kuwabara!" Botan laughed, "It's me, Botan!" She shouted and threw him up a peace sign.
"Ew! You like my sister Kuwabara!?" Ryo shrieked.
"No! I'm in love with someone else, she's just pretty that's all." Kuwabara said chuckling with his arms behind his head.
"Arigatou Kuwabara." Botan grinned sheepishly, "Where's Keiko and Yusuke?"
"Who cares where Urameshi is! Keiko is with him though, they're on their way to school." Kuwabara said walking beside Botan and Ryo.
"Oh yeah!" Botan whipped around to face Kuwabara, "Um.. I don't remember much about school and.. do you think you could tea-"
"No way! I'm a baka Botan." Kuwabara laughed. "I'm almost as stupid as you are." He said earning a glare, "I mean because you're a ferry girl of course and it's been years."
Ryo turned to Botan, "Nani!?!?"
"Oh yeap! I'm a ferry girl, I do ballet and um.. delivery money when people's teeth come out!" She shouted so Ryo wouldn't find out about Botan's past.
"Ferries are stupid!" Ryo shouted, "Yuck." He said scratching his tongue.
"Shut up!" She slapped Ryo on the back of his head.
"I'm telling kasaan you know!?"
"So!" Botan shouted as Kuwabara walked ahead, "Matte Kuwabara-kun!" She ran beside him and wrapped an arm around his.
~*~Sarasaki High
"Here we are." Kuwabara sighed, "First day of my Junior year. One more and I'll be a senior!" He said as Botan looked confused, "What am I?"
"What grade are you?"
"A?" Kuwabara laughed at Botan's joke, "Seriously Botan, what grade level?"
"I said A." She said as she heard Kuwabara laugh harder.
"No you're grade level like 10th."
"Oh! I'm in um.. I'm not sure." She looked around nervously, "How do I find my classes?" Botan asked as she started to panic, "Whose my teachers!?"
"Calm down Botan, you get a schedule when you first go inside." Kuwabara said as he walked the two into the school. Kuwabara got carried away with his three buddies as he tried to break free.
Botan sighed, she glanced around and saw almost everyone staring at her. She heard giggles and she heard people gossiping about teachers. She walked over to a dorky looking girl, "Excuse me, where do I-"
The girl simply pointed to the front desk sitting in the office room, "Oh.. thanks." Botan walked over to the door as she saw a few people in line and some following behind her.
"What's your name sweetie?" The black lady sitting at the front desk asked, "Hey! I like your hair. You'll be an outstander to me." The lady chuckled.
"It's Botan Yakima." Botan said as she smiled at the friendly woman, "I'm Mrs. McGee. Hold on a second Bo." Botan nodded as she looked behind her and saw someone who looked like Keiko.
"Ah here we go Botan." The lady handed her a schedule, "Oh yeah and I know about your past and don't worry, it's secret with me, I'm your councilor ok?"Botan nodded, "G'bye." She walked out.
Botan walked out into the locker halls where all the lockers were set. She glanced at her paper to see what number her locker number was, '1109.'
"Botan!" She snapped around quickly, "Botan, I'm sorry, did you get your schedule?" Kuwabara asked as she nodded, "Yeap, I got Mr. Cullen."
"For biology class?"
"Hai."
"Awesome! Me too, what period?"
"Um-" Kuwabara took her paper, "Wow, you'll be in all my classes except for.. you play Violin or something???" Botan shook her head. "Well that's what it says." Kuwabara laughed.
'Uh oh, maybe my ningen body used to play in the orchestra. But I don't know how to!" Her thought was said aloud, "Kuwabara! What do I do?"
Kuwabara shrugged, "Play the violin. There's like this stick and-"
"Baka you're standing in front of my locker!" Yusuke said from behind Kuwabara's back, "Move please."
Kuwabara mumbled and stepped aside, "Like I was saying- huh?" Kuwabara watched as Botan tapped Yusuke on the shoulder and squealed.
Yusuke quirked his eyebrows, "Who is this girl Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked, totally ignoring his name being repeated over and over by her.
"Oh, her." Kuwabara pointed to her. Yusuke crossed his arms, "No, I was talking about the dorky girl behind me." Kuwabara looked behind Yusuke, "But that's a dude-" Yusuke grunted.
"I know, just kidding. That's Botan." Kuwabara leaned his back against the locker as Botan jumped on top of Yusuke. "Yusuke!" She shouted as a teacher took her arm,
"Excuse me miss but don't be so loud." An aged lady winked at her and walked away humming.
Botan ignored her, "Hello Yusuke!"
"Botan!?!?!" Yusuke jumped back onto Kuwabara, "That's who you remind me of! What the heck you doing-"
"She's a ningen now." Kuwabara interrupted him, "Yeah and she's in my classes! Except one of them." He snorted, "Orchestra." He laughed goofily, "And she doesn't know how to play!"
Botan smiled embarrassingly and looked at Yusuke, "Are you in our classes Yusuke?"
Yusuke looked at hers and his, "Uh.. I'm only in five of your classes." Yusuke said as he looked at Kuwabara's, "All of his because I don't have orchestra."
Botan stuck her bottom lip out, "Oh pooy."
"Yusuke, who's that girl you talking to?" Keiko walked over with a glare on her face as she looked at Botan. "Hmm I like your hair." She said as she smiled and lost it remembering Yusuke talking to her.
"Keiko it's me!" Botan hopped around to face Keiko. Keiko studied her, "I don't.. know yo-OUUU! Botan!!" She hugged Botan as they jumped around.
"How did you know Keiko?" Yusuke asked Keiko, "Look how she looks! Her eyes are pink and her hair.. it's still got the blue strands. Oh you look great!" Keiko started jogging in place.
People walked by staring at the two girls as they went crazy. Yusuke couldn't help but chuckle. 'Girls.' Kuwabara thought.
"Hey guys." They all heard someone say. 'Who could that be?' Yusuke asked himself as they all turned to see the red headed fox boy.
"Kurama! What the heck you doing here?" Yusuke smirked, "You don't go here!" Kurama smiled and held up his hands, "I got transferred because I wanted to be in the same school as you guys,
What's the use of living down the street from you and going to another school?" Kurama asked with a chuckle.
"Yeah.. that's stupid." Yusuke patted Kurama on the shoulder as the group stood in a circle and talked, then Kurama noticed Botan and pointed at her,
"Who is that?" Kurama asked them all as Botan grinned, "Hello Kurama!" Botan ran over and jumped into his arms. Keiko also hugged Kurama.
The old lady that had passed once before once again said something, "Now missy, you're not a trouble maker that I have to keep my eye on are you?" Botan shook her head quickly, "Gomen!"
"Already getting in trouble, you're almost as good as me." Yusuke said as Botan smiled. "So Keiko, you got all my classes right?"
"Nope, I got orchestra remember?" Keiko said as Botan clapped her hands, "Oh thank god!" Botan shouted, "I have orchestra and I don't even know what a violin looks like." Everybody laughed.
"So you have all of Botan's classes too?" Yusuke quirked his brows again. Keiko nodded happily, "Oh my god. This year is going to be so much fun with Botan.. with.. us." Keiko said looking around Botan.
The doors to the school entrance slung open as a group of girls walked in. They all were blondes and they looked like they were some kind of popular group. 'Uh oh.' Keiko thought.
"Move out the way, Christine's coming through!" A girl shoved a boy into the locker as he fell on his rump, deep into a love trance with the girls. Keiko growled.
"What a bunch of losers this year?" Christine, that leader, said as she led the group through the halls of the school. "But thank god this is a school with low popularity or else this school would flood with geeks."
Keiko once again growled with a stomp of her foot. Kurama and Botan blinked, "Who are they?" Kurama asked confused.
"They call themselves the B-Trio." Keiko crossed her arms, "B standing for bimbos! Blondes actually." Keiko said as the group leaned against the lockers. Botan had stood in the middle of the path watching.
"Excuse me!" One of the other girls from the group shouted in Botan's ear. Botan looked at the wide hallway, "I think there's enough room for you to go around." The girl growled and jumped at Botan,
Keiko got in front of Botan, "Step off Tara!" Keiko screeched as Tara narrowed her eyes. Keiko reached for Tara but was held back by Botan and Kurama.
"No let Keiko kick her ass!" Yusuke shouted and threw up his fist as Kuwabara done the same.
"I know she could kick her ass but I don't want her to have detention." Kurama said letting go of her, "Keiko could kick all three of them herself." The three looked at Kurama.
Christine grabbed Kurama by one of his hair locks and pulled his face an inch from hers and said, "Since your not as ugly as your friend, I'll let that slide." Christine shoved his face from hers and walked off.
Botan and Keiko both stomped as Kuwabara growled. Yusuke smirked, "At least they didn't say anything to me."
"Yeah but they said something to Keiko!" Kuwabara folded his arms. Yusuke rubbed his chin, "That's right.." he stood silently, "Hey! Come back and say that to my face about my girlfriend!"
Tara stuck her middle finger up at him as she turned back to walk. Everybody gasped and laughed at Yusuke. The teachers even was afraid to say something to them.
"I hate those girls, they think they're all that." Keiko said, "They've been picking on me since I'm not with them anymore." She got steamy.
"Forget about them guys, I'll be in class." Kurama said as he walked to the stairway to the third floor where the Juniors were.
Botan and Keiko walked over to her locker, "Would you like to take a tour?" Keiko grinned as she pulled out the books that were already in Botan's locker.
"Sure, that'll be great." Botan said as Keiko shut her locker for her and they walked around the school until the first five minute bell rang,
"Ack!" Botan shouted as she heard the 'Buzz' sound, "What was that?" Botan asked looking at the lights. Keiko snarled, "That was the bell. It's a device to tell you to go to your next class or leave school."
Botan blushed, "Oh! So we should be going to our first class now right?" "Right!" Keiko held out her peace sign again.
Both of them ran up the steps to the third floor and bumped into Yusuke, who was standing behind some guys, waiting to get to class.
"Gomen Yusuke." They said at the same time panting.
"Where've you two been? Running to Rekai and back?" Yusuke asked as he chuckled. Keiko shook her head, "I gave her a tour."
"What about the bathroom? I got to use it." Botan said crossing her legs. Yusuke laughed, "It's the door where it has these letters that say 'M-E-N.'" He smirked as Keiko slapped him on the head,
"No, it's the first bathroom on the left of this hall way." Keiko pointed to the door, "You better hurry. We only have about two minutes before our second bell ring!" She said as Botan ran down the hall.
~*~Class
"Good morning class." The buffed guy walked to the front. He looked like he had just graduated from college or so but he wasn't really attractive because of his figure, "My name is Mr. Cullen of course a-"
"Gomen I'm late!" Botan ran into the classroom with her books half way in her arms. She saw Keiko wave a hand from the second to last row. Botan walked passed the teacher as he made her circle and come back.
"Now, I want you to know, I don't like students like this." Mr. Cullen said as he put his arm on Botan's shoulder,
"You're most likely one to fail." Botan laughed nervously as Yusuke, Kurama and Kuwabara smirked. Keiko shook her head, 'Oh Botan.'
"Um, well I had to use the bathroom." Botan said as she struggled to get out of his grip. The big guy chuckled and let loose of her, "Take a seat miss.." "Yakima." She said as she sat beside Keiko.
"Yakima.." He looked at the slip of names, "Botan. Ah, I like that name." He said as he glanced around the room, "I want to pick out my class clowns." Kuwabara jumped up,
"That'll be me sir. The great Kazuma Kuwabara!" "Ah shut up Kuwabara!" Yusuke threw a paper ball at Kuwabara's head as everyone laughed. "Do it again and I'll pound your face in Urameshi!"
Everybody laughed again as Mr. Cullen sighed, "I see who the clown and trouble maker is. Urameshi.. I was hoping not to have you." He said shaking his head, "I've heard about you, who hasn't?"
"Your mom." Yusuke said as Kuwabara and Botan busted out in laughter. Keiko tried to hold in her laugh. Everybody else was busy talking.
Mr. Cullen chuckled, "Very funny. So you're a trouble maker and a clown. I have to watch you, Mr. Kuwabara and Ms. Yakima." He said as Keiko raised her hand.
"Yes Mrs. Yukimura?"
"What will we be doing today?" She asked.
"Certainly not a free day. We're going to open our books and start chapter one right now because I know there's some people who really need to learn." Mr. Cullen said as Kuwabara glared.
"Don't make me say any names."
"Ok, don't say Mr. Cullen then, I'm sure it'll embarrass him." Kuwabara said closing his eyes as Yusuke snickered behind him.
Mr. Cullen gave him a glare to stop clowning around now, "Open up your books to age 26." He said as everyone sighed.
"Keiko." Botan called over to her right. Keiko looked at her with her eye brows arched, "What's biology anyway?" Botan looked at her confused as Keiko giggled. :s
A/n:
And that's the first chapter. How was it? Kurama's going to be at Sarasaki High too! Well, of course he's in higher brain classes than everyone but he falls in biology. And Botan, already being watched by lots of people? Na. Review please!
