CHAPTER 6          

“Well,” Yusuke spoke first after seeing all of them have arrived, “here we are.” 

“What do we do now?” Kuwabara inquired. 

“We look for Akuma,” Kurama looked at him. 

“Hiei, will you use your jagan and try to find her,” Koenma glanced at Hiei. 

Hiei on the other hand was already ahead of them. He started to feel forces collecting on his jagan. 

“Someone’s staying nearby,” he mumbled. 

“Do you think that’s Akuma?” Yusuke questioned. 

“I am not sure. I can sense some kind of power, but it is not that great,” Hiei answered and turned to gaze at a shrubby corner. The leaves of the plant rustled slightly. 

“I guess we’re about to find out soon,” Kurama said as they approached the bushes.



......................


Botan quickly hid herself in the bushes upon stepping into the Makai. 

“Whew, I made it,” she sighed to herself. 

This was her idea. If Koenma wouldn’t let her come with them then, she would have to take matters into her own hands and sneak into the portal. That way, she can be in Makai without Koenma knowing it. Just then, she heard someone speak. That’s Yusuke, they’ve already arrived! Don’t worry Botan, she assured herself, they can’t find you. 
Not if they don’t even know you’re here. 

“Come out whoever you are!” Botan heard Yusuke shout. 

Oh no, they can’t find me, she thought to herself as she held her breath upon hearing footsteps coming towards them. She almost gasped when a pair of hands parted the bushes nearby. 

“Well, what do we have here?” Yusuke, apparently surprised lifted something and faced the others, “It’s a cute little raccoon.” 

Botan let out a sigh of relief and held on to her crystal. Oh God, thank you. 




...........................

“Why Hiei, I didn’t know you had a knack in finding raccoons,” Kuwabara told him teasingly. 

“Hn,” Hiei turned away folding his arms across his chest. 

“I guess it’s a false alarm after all,” Kurama shrugged. 

“Yeah, and I think Hiei’s jagan didn’t work well that time,” Kuwabara added in a mocking tone. 

“What did you say!” this time Hiei turned at him. 

“Hey, hey, the two of you, don’t start all over again,” Yusuke quickly came between the two. 

“Yusuke’s right,” Koenma turned at them, “We have to keep on going and find Akuma. Time’s not on our side. We have to put a stop to her before she gathers more forces.” 

Hiei and Kuwabara finally separated. 

“Fine, let’s go,” Kuwabara walked away. 

Shaking their heads, the others followed him. Hiei looked hesitant. 

Kurama called him, “Come on Hiei, we need to go now.” 

Hiei finally followed but kept glancing back at the bushes. He could still feel the power coming from that direction.
