Yusuke surpassed the growl in his throat. "Alright then, death lady. Can you tell me what happened to that kid I saved? Like, is he injured or what?"

"You want to see him?"

Yusuke let a soft smile grace on his lips while he nodded.

*~~*~~*

"Well, we got the test results in," The doctor informed. "He got a few scrapes but no signs of broken bones or brain damage whatsoever."

The mother hugged her child. "Oh, thank goodness. . ."

Outside the window, the two ghost figures looked at them from afar.

"Look at that, He's really ok." Yusuke gave a satisfied smile.

"Alright, Botan. I've got no regrets, so you can take me to hell or wherever it is I'm going,"

Botan giggled in reply.

Yusuke glared at that."What's so funny about that?"

"Maybe you should have let me talk earlier," Botan said. "I'm not here to take you away from this world. Actually, I'm here to see if you'll accept an ordeal that could give you your life back!"

"An ordeal? Really?" Yusuke raised a brow. "What are you blabbering about?"

"It's funny, Yusuke, none of us were expecting you to die today, you have thrown us off for a loop." Botan shrugged happily. " Run someone with your credentials through that scenario a thousand times and they would have never saved a kid like that. No one saw that coming, and quite frankly, we haven't prepared a place for you yet,"

"Oh, give me a freakin' break! Are you telling me you guys were expecting that little boy to die?"

Botan yanked out her guidebook, albeit reluctantly, she paused for a moment before taking another two page to the left. "Well, I wasn't going to tell you this, because I knew it would make you even more irritable, but without the confusion caused by you running into the street, that boy would've actually missed the car and escaped with one less scrape on his right shoulder,"

"What? But he was headed right for him!" Yusuke stammered weakly.

"Yes well, the driver would've veered to the left," Botan spoke slowly. "In other words, your death was a complete and utter waste!"

Her words shocked Yusuke so much that he fell down to earth amid Botan's giggle.
