Survival Class 101

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

Summary:

Botan is assigned to "protect" Kuwabara from getting killed by a very protective

brother while on his date with Yukina. She soon found herself in an uncomfortable

position: it's either she helps out Kuwa-chan with his love affair and get herself

tortured by Hiei later, or she can help Hiei and break up the kawaii couple (which

was a thing she really dislike to do.) Poor Botan, what's a girl got to do?

Prologue – And so it all begins...

"You must put a stop to this ridiculous idea!" the short-tempered, fire demon slammed his fist onto Koenma's wooden desk. Neatly stacked paper works fell and scattered everywhere.

Koenma whined as he scanned all the well-organized papers now laid messily around his desk.

"Bu-but I can't interfere with their personal privacies."

"Then prepare yourself in the future with a dead baka ningen and a felon on the loose."

With that, Hiei stomped out of Koenma's office. The toddler sighed sadly and begins to categorize files when a bubbly, blue-haired girl walked in...

"I thought I just saw Hiei walked out of here. He seemed upset. What's wrong?"

"He wants me to stop Kuwabara from going out on that date with Yukina or else he's going to stop them himself."

"Does he even know what a 'date' is?"

Botan giggled, remembering her visit to Genkai's yesterday and Kuwabara picked the best time to ask Yukina out when EVERYBODY was there. Everyone noticed the irate expression and the twitching on Hiei's face after he had heard about it. If it weren't for Kurama, Kuwabara would be a cleaved carrot-top by now.

"What do you think?! Anyhow, I was thinking..."

"You were thinking..." Botan trailed off.

The infant's eyes suddenly flashed with a mischievous spark as he turned slowly to smile at Botan. The ferry girl blinked questionably at him, having a bad feeling about it.

"Ko-Koenma?"

"Aah, Botan, the BEST worker there ever was! I'd like to say that it is an honor to have such a diligent person like you here working for Reikai..."

"... And since you've been so dedicated to Reikai, I shall present you with another easy, no-sweat assignment!"

"Which is..." Botan didn't like where this is going toward at all.

"You will be supervising Kuwabara and Yukina's little date and make sure Hiei wouldn't do anything to harm Kuwabara. Pretty simple case, ne?"

"What?! Are you crazy?! Me? Supervising Kuwabara to make sure that Hiei Doesn't hurt him?"

"Exactamente!" [1]

"You've got to be kidding! I'd be out of my mind if I accepted this assignment. Why don't you ask Yusuke or Kurama to do it? From my personal experience, they are a lot better at this kind of things than I am."

"They wouldn't like to do it during their vacations anyways. Last time I asked Yusuke to do something for me, he almost gave me a black eye!"

"Oh, so you leave it to me? That's very 'thoughtful' of you! What about me? I deserve a break just like they do!"

"Okay, okay. I'll double your break time when you accomplish this case."

"Mmmm... I donno... it's very hard to keep Hiei from killing people..."

"Triple your break time?"

"Bingo! I'll do it!" The cheerful deity chirped happily and left out of the room.

Koenma leaned back on his armchair, and sucked his pacifier in relief.

"Now that's settled... Ogre! Get your lazy butt here and fix this mess! I need to go take my afternoon nappie!"

Our favorite ferry girl has not yet fully understood what kind of situation she had got herself into...
