Liar Liar, Pants on Fire

Getting Down to Business

The door moved ever so slowly as Botan edged her way into the large blank office that Koenma used. The bright painted walls with gaudy trim clashed with the window coverings. She had only known this office to be ugly, for that reason it was comforting to her. Peaking around the door she leaned in inspecting if the cost was clear. Her bright magenta eye's blinked multiple times around the room, no short man in a tall hat, no bright blue ogre brown nosing behind him.

"Whew, time to get down to business." Botan pushed further into the room, going straight to the large desk in the middle of the room. The desk had multiple little drawers that pulled out from each side; it had always reminded her of the soul she retrieved in that library one time. The poor middle aged women slumped down against a card catalogue cart. One of her more pleasant reaping's to be honest.

All the little drawers had their own tiny key whole and their own little pull knob. Botan folded herself in two, her kimono folding under her knees. She pushed Koenma's large brown leather chair out of the way as she climbed down and huddled into the leg space under the desk. Most people would never know this, but under Koenma's desk is actually a doorway that leads into the deepest and darkest files of Spirit World. All the high risk artifacts and files on the Kings were located in this small room. It was small for a reason because Koenma was the only one that was the right size to fit. Not to mention it had a very complex looking lock of switches, toggles, buttons and key holes.

Botan reached into the chest fold of her Kimono and pulled a delicate looking piece of paper, it was aged a soft coffee color brown with a torn edge. If you looked closely at the sheet you could notice darker spots amongst the hand printed words. Botan held her breath as she placed it on the floor in front of her. Once the sheet laid flat she edged closer to the door and wiggled her figures under it; moving slowly as to not accidentally harm the sheet anymore; she pushed it swiftly under the jam. Putting her head to the floor she took a breath and blew under it just to give the page an extra boost into the room. She didn't want Koenma to open the door and step on the paper. She waited and listened for a few second till a grin split her face and she wormed her way out from the desk.

Botan almost banged her head on underside of the desk and tripped over the wheeled chair behind her. Even those little mishaps could not detour her ever growing happy mood.

"I did it, I finally did it." Botan's soft and accented voice drifted to the roof. He girlish squeal that fallowed would put to shame the cheeriest cheerleader. As she spun around in her Koenma's desk chair.

"Did what?" Koenma stood not too far off form the door. She didn't hear the door even budge as the God made his way further into the room. His left eye brow arched up in question to her stammering.

"Oh-uh." Botan warped her hands together, nerves jumping up.

"You finally did what?" Koenma was use to the hyper active ferry girl; in fact, he really liked her lively manner compared to most. She made his boring days more tolerable, and kept him on his toes most long nights. "Botan answer me."

"I lost my earring!" Botan shouted her conclusion. Her voice had become more steady. "I lost my earring while I was here dropping off papers, and I just found it."

"What papers?"

Koenma now sat at a clear desk, papers nowhere to be seen which in itself was unheard off.

"I uh- meant the other day sir!"

"Oh well, I'm glad you found it then." He pushed a few buttons on his desk and a screen popped up. "You can go now; I have things to do."

The happy ferry girl gave a quick salute and a jump later she was out the door. Koenma sat looking around his room, nothing seems out of place and it was cleaner than most days.

What could she have possible been up too?

Botan didn't wear earrings. None of the ferry girls wore earrings.

Okay, well this is different. I didn't actually know what I wanted to write about here. I just sat down and got this. I just wanted to share this, I don't actually know if I want to keep this as part of the collection. Weird... I don't know if this is becoming a character sketch now.

Well, I'm off to discuss this with myself. Hope you all enjoy this one a little bit. Botan is just so cute! :3
