Botan recalled the mission Lord Koenma had just given her. She was given the painful task of evaluating Hiei, Kuwabara and Kurama for full positions as Spirit Detectives. She was also tasked with warding off low level riffraff that had gotten through to the Human World. Botan was determined to prove her usefulness to the tiny ruler. Ever since the Dark Tournament wrapped up, Botan felt utterly useless, sure she wasn't much help in securing Team Urameshi's victory but she felt she did help somewhat. She just didn't want to fiddle with the opportunity she was given now. Lord Koenma made it clear that she had to be discrete with her evaluations and so she decided the easiest person would be Kurama, otherwise known as Shuichi.
At the present, Botan was finishing up a last minute conversation with Lord Koenma.
He had given her the Communication Mirror as well as the Demon Compass and Concentration Ring. They were all given to Yusuke when he was first starting to get the hang of being a Spirit Detective but these were new and improved upgrades for the reaper to use while undercover on Earth. As she slipped the compact into her messenger bag, she found herself suddenly anxious. With the sun rising over the urban landscape, school was about to start and she still needed to figure out where she was even going. Botan would pose as a female foreign exchange student from China under her real name. Before she left, she had been given some basic supplies, such as the uniform and some money, just in case.
It was one thing to pose at Yusuke's school but Kurama was older and in a more intelligent high school. Botan would be lying if she said she wasn't intimidated. On top of that, she and Kurama hadn't spent much time alone together, despite all the danger they've endured. Still, the blue haired reaper was determined to prove herself, not just to her boss but also those around her, like Kurama. There was more to her than a pretty face, that's for sure! The female glanced down at her uniform, missing the baby blue and yellow one already. She had on a long sleeve blouse which buttoned up slightly off to the side. She also had on a pleated skirt which was the same color, magenta. And there was gold grim around the back of her shirt where the small flap was.
She had on long white knee socks and brown loafers. Botan kept her hair tied up as usual in a golden tie. She would fit right in, except for her hair color but she hoped it would be overlooked since she was an exchange student. She was only a block from the school but still wasn't sure about which classroom to go to. Without her oar to rely upon, she had to make due with her own two feet. Adjusting her messenger bag over her shoulder, she took a deep breath and jogged up the block and made it into the building as the bell rang. Everyone was filtering into their respective classrooms and Botan feverishly recalled the schedule given to her which was identical to Kurama's.
Thankfully she sensed his energy and spotted his red hair and followed him through the crowd.
When she entered the classroom, she introduced herself to the teacher who thankfully seemed to know who she was. Botan didn't doubt Lord Koenma's skill in slipping her into a believable role with all the proper files and whatnot. As the bell chimed one last time, everyone quieted down and the teacher asked Botan to introduce herself to the class before they began their lesson. "Hello, my name's Botan." She smiled to the class, trying not linger too much on Kurama. "I'm from Guilin, China." She said. She was pretty certain that all of the students had some form of genius talent but she wasn't sure what she could say in that regard. "I look forward to meeting you all. Thank you!" She concluded with a bow and made her way to an open desk and sat down.
As the morning carried on, she found herself following with the class and taking notes. As they moved from Chemistry to Calculus, she found herself taking more notes in regards to Kurama and what she had observed so far. He was quiet but seemed capable of raising his hand and contributing to the class which meant he had qualities of teamwork, but she already knew that much. When Calculus ended, it was time for a quick break for the students to stretch for ten minutes before their next hour of American History before lunch. Botan stayed near the window and chatted with some of the people who approached her with polite curiosity.
When Kurama finally approach her, she brightened up.
"Hi there." She held out her hand. Some of the students had moved into the hall to use up the remaining seven or so minutes to cram for their next quiz or study session. Her brain was a bit tired but she knew this mission was important and during lunch, while she might want to take a cat nap, she'd need to check for any demons. If there were any, she presumed Kurama would have noticed already. That would be a decent cover since she knew he probably wanted to know why she was here. He couldn't know about her other motive. "I'm Botan, you are...?" For now she decided to play into her role until they had more privacy but from the look of things, no one was really paying her much mind, despite being so close to the school's most sought after specimen, Shuichi Minamino.
