I also don't believe Yusuke was the first one to wield a Spirit Gun--maybe he took it farther than those before him, but not the sole user--so I'm behind Botan learning it or having already learned it. If the affinity to plants becomes a factor, I am behind her having some ability for healing and/or greater utility like immobilizing people like a bola. Since it's our vision of events after the Dark Tournament, we can tweak things in our favor. Maybe in his spare time Kurama tends to a greenhouse on the school grounds as a volunteer, just something to do, and he gets to talking with Botan about the hobby and they discover her spiritual energy meshes well with that of plant life. Ironic, considering Reaper's ferry the dead, and here she is connecting with life ^^ Hah, that does work out too. Maybe it'll go that way. Yeah just a funny little scenario I played out in my head, no sweat. If Yusuke or anyone else does show up, it probably won't be for much more than a small cameo, or helping them during a fight. I think we're ready. Did you want to start with Kurama leaving the service sometime in the early afternoon and coming across Botan? This opening post won't be too big from my perspective, it'll just be a handful of paragraphs... and I need to get into the role ^^' so give me some time on that front.
