However, as soon as it died down, and the sky cleared, he was face to face with...

"Hey, pleased to meet you!"

Yusuke could only stare at the little girl who'd greeted him. She didn't look much older than Koenma. Her frilly dress looked like a nightgown and her dark blue hair matched her eyes.

"That was quite an entrance," Yusuke raised a brow at her. "Who the heck are you anyways?"

"The investigator?" The little girl replied.

Yusuke couldn't help but chuckle a little. He should have expected this since Koenma was a toddler himself. "No joke. So you're the one, huh?"

"The one Koenma sent to check on Yusuke's progress?" Botan asked.

"I'm Sayaka."

Yusuke shook his head in annoyance.

"These kids," He pressed his face close to Sayaka's. "Then why don't you tell me what you're going to investigate, Sayaka?"

"I'm sorry," Sayaka disappeared for a moment, only to reappear far away from the two spirits. "But that's a secret."

Again, Yusuke was more irritated by this than amused.

"Botan, you would help. Which one is Yusuke's girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend?" Yusuke spluttered. "I don't- What are you talking about?"

"Which of the girls is Keiko?"

Yusuke nearly retched. "Not that again! Why can't you Spirit People get it through your thick heads, she is just a friend!"

Instead of responding to him, Botan merely smiled and pointed.

"Right down there. Keiko is the one with the pigtails."

"I see." Sayaka looked at the other girl beside Keiko. "And the other girl to her left is Miyuki Urameshi? Yusuke's younger twin?"

Botan hummed out a 'yes.'

Sayaka then plopped down onto Botan's oar and began to make notes in her little book. "How interesting. It's hard to believe that Keiko, a girl with her kind of positives, would even go for a guy like Yusuke, or hang out with someone so closed off like Miyuki. "

"I heard that," Yusuke growled.

Sayaka glanced in his direction slightly. "Now, are we absolutely certain that Keiko wants Yusuke to come back to life again? After all, there is a great deal of manpower involved in one of these life recoveries run smoothly, there's no point in doing it if people closest to you don't care."
