He looked right at the girl, his eyes sharp. Sai straightened, letting his arms drop to his side. Hikaru wouldn't hesitate to berate him like that. You're a ghost yourself! Why are you scared? came Hikaru's voice inside Sai's mind. She didn't look scary, but ghosts were ghosts. Sai was scared of ghosts, had been since as long as he could remember. 'Are you a ghost?' he asked, his voice tinted with both curiosity and slight anxiety. Sai gulped, half his face still covered by one of his long sleeves. 'Hi!' she said with a wave, as if she hadn't just scared him so. She beamed at him, the smile reaching her eyes. She had bright blue hair that even made his own hair seem ordinary. There, a girl in a pink kimono sat side-straddle on a wooden oar. He lifted one sleeve away from his face to peek down at where he had been before. 'Lovely day isn't it?' asked a bubbly voice next to his ear. Would Hikaru even notice that he was gone? The window between them was open, but Sai couldn't breach that gap anymore. Was this the end for him? His pained smile dropped from his face as he watched Hikaru nod off, so close yet so far. He was outside of Hikaru's world now, left looking in at a world that he could no longer participate in, had barely been able to even with Hikaru's help. The curtains of the window fluttered with the chilly wind, letting him catch Hikaru's figure only now and then. He found himself floating outside of Hikaru's window. 'Hikaru, it was fun! It was fun.' Sai's voice drifted off. Notes: for 31days_exchange, 31_days masterlist The first cool breeze in what seemed an eternityĬharacter/Pairing: Sai, Hikaru, Botan (in this part) I very much want to finish this.ĭay/Theme: 18. I hope I don't blunder too much with this. I'm also very out of touch with both HnG and YYH. Botan also possesses healing powers, to the extent that she could stop or pause demonic transformations.Dusting off a WIP I had since round 4 (or was it round 3.) of blind_go in hopes that having a deadline for 31days_exchange will actually get me to finish this! (It's been, what, 2, 3 years?) I don't think I've managed anything for blind_go since then after not being able to finish this. Botan tends to use human weapons, or something heavy around, to fight while in the human world. In one scene during the episode 'Setting the Trap,' Botan was planning to use the Concentration Ring to blow up walls, which suggests she might have spirit powers like Yusuke, but they are undisclosed. In her human form, Botan can use any of Yusuke's detective items. She has no spirit powers like Yusuke's Rei Gun or Kuwabara's Spirit Sword, but she possesses heightened spirit awareness and spiritual energy (as can be determined by her ability to use the detective tools, which require spirit energy in order to work.) Typically, when Botan fights, she tends to favor blunt instruments like her oar, a metal bat, or, if all else fails, her fists. Botan works hard, cares deeply for others, and tries not to let her friends know when she's down.īotan is not a fighter like those around her, but she has fought several times, often to help Keiko Yukimura to get her out of trouble. Although her initial purpose is to help Yusuke cross over to the Spirit World, or Reikai, Botan eventually becomes a sort of guardian angel to Yusuke, helping him in his efforts to return to his body, and when Yusuke becomes a Spirit Detective, being the liaison between Yusuke and friends, and Koenma in Reikai. Botan is cheerful, sometimes sarcastic, and a completely atypical version of Death (something the main character Yusuke Urameshi points out almost immediately after meeting her). Botan (ぼたん)Botan is the guide for the dead across the Sanzu River (the River Styx), Botan is hardly typical of what one would expect from the shinigami, or death god clad in a bright pink kimono, with her blue hair in a ponytail.
