The matter of their suicides were indeed a sensitive topic. Back in Spirit World, people were trying to figure out why such a precise location would give birth to two lost souls in such a short period of time without any previous indication or warning. Botan was sure by going undercover, she could run some tests and see if there was some demon causing these incidents or something of that ungodly nature. When Kurama mentioned Anabe, she was sure he was suspicious as to her timely arrival in the Human World, much less to her seeking him out in particular. She kept walking with him and tilted her head to the side as he continued to speak, now getting to the mystery of her appearance as well as any knowledge she possessed about the two tragedies. His final question didn't surprise her. It was like him to ask such a considerate question that some like Yusuke or Kuwabara would happen to overlook. [b][color=f6989d]"Meiko was distraught, to say the least..."[/color][/b] Botan began to say. At the intersection, they stopped to allow a few cars to drive by before they crossed the street. [b][color=f6989d]"She wasn't able to piece together the events leading up to her death, at least not right away."[/color][/b] She mentioned as they passed by a collection of cafes and small bakeries. Botan sniffed the air and found her attention waning slightly as her pace slowed until she was standing in front of a French cafe which seemed to sell all sorts of baked goods. [b][color=f6989d]"Let's stop here, it'll give us a better place to talk."[/color][/b] Without waiting for Kurama's response, she grabbed his hand and darted into the gold and orange establishment. There was a warmth to the cafe as well as an air of sophistication with the detailed golden stencils of foliage on the cream colored walls with orange trim and flowing drapes. Once inside, she let go of his hand, assuming he wouldn't still flee or find a way to decline. [b][color=f6989d]"In times such as these, it's important to remember yourself, to treat yourself."[/color][/b] She quickly explained as she looked over the menu and decided a berry tart and a chocolate eclair would be good. And maybe some green tea too. She did have yen which Lord Koenma had given her, plus the other necessary supplies. For now, they were locked up at a storage locker not far from where they were. She needed to find a hotel but she was hoping she'd be able to bat her eyes and Kurama and see if he was inclined to accept a lost lonely grim reaper as a possible roommate. She paid for her items and quickly located a secluded metal table outside of the storefront and sat down. When Kurama rejoined her, she decided pick up where they had left off before she had become distracted. [b][color=f6989d]"Meiko and even Anabe have only been able to recount snippets of their memories but they both seem as though they hadn't meant to have killed themselves, despite all other appearances."[/color][/b] She told him as she picked a blueberry off the tart and popped it in her mouth. [b][color=f6989d]"I'm here,"[/color][/b] she paused to licked her fingers. [b][color=f6989d]"because of the odd circumstances, our records show both should have lived long and happy lives."[/color][/b] But she was sure Kurama knew or at least assumed that much. [b][color=f6989d]"I'll be attending school with you starting tomorrow in order to closely conduct tests and get readings on anything odd happening around the school. There are theories floating around back in Spirit World, some suspect an artifact, a demon or maybe just an ordinary human influencing such events. We won't know until we gather more intelligence. Of course I'll be preforming my other reaper duties but I'm sure I'll manage."[/color][/b] She waved a hand and picked up her tea to have a sip/ Botan set her cup down, once satisfied. She sighed and looked to him. [b][color=f6989d]"I was actually hoping I could talk you into letting me stay with you? Just for a while, all of the hotels are rather seedy looking..."[/color][/b] The blue haired reaper gave him an innocent look. Plus, she'd rather spend her funds on cute things and good human food, not some rundown hotel where illicit affairs occurred on a nightly basis.
