I has a chezburger, ur, I mean, a party. ((desert_gaara))

[thedeath_of_you]

If all things have gone right with the Nexus and Botan's ability to send things, Gaara should find a pink envelope on his desk. In her trademark bubble characters, the note (translated, of course) reads as follows:

Gaara

Comments

[thedeath_of_you]

"Koenma-sama's just in one of his moods again." The orge sighs. He looks towards Gaara. "You're Gaara-san, right? I'm Jorge Saotome."

Good luck."

Thanks for the vote of confidence

[thedeath_of_you]

Botan smiles. "Don't worry. They'll get together one day, I know. They're soulmates!" Botan, a hopeless romantic? It's more likely than you think!

"At least now she's healing him."

[desert_gaara]

"So then Hiei's interuption might have the opposite effect of what he was planning?" He seems quite pleased with this thought.

[thedeath_of_you]

"Of course. That's karma, baby." She grins. "Even someone as sour as Hiei can't stop true love!"

They enter the common room, where Yukina is currently babying Kuwabara, Hiei is watching them like a hawk, and Yuusuke trying to make up with Keiko, his fingers twined in her dark hair and trying his best to look innocent.

[desert_gaara]

We've already concluded that Gaara is a bit... socially inept, even if he's getting a bit better at it. So for the moment at least, he's simply watching (keeping an eye on Hiei, perhaps?).

[thedeath_of_you]

Hiei also seems to be keeping an eye on Gaara. He still hasn't gained any more love for him.

Botan makes herself at home near Keiko, and the two twitter like schoolgirls, ever so often, looking at Gaara and Yuusuke.

[desert_gaara]

To give Botan some twitter-time with her friend, Gaara makes his way over to a table with refreshments he spotted earlier. He's not really in his right element here.

[thedeath_of_you]

Genkai is over at the table. "My guess is that you're not that much a social butterfly, eh?" The woman is old, but definately not senile.

[desert_gaara]

"Your guess is right," he says with a slight nod and helps himself to a drink. Don't ask him what it is, he has no idea.

[thedeath_of_you]

"Don't worry. It's not a bad trait to have. The Dimwit over there could learn to take it to heart."

She smiles. "So what's you're fighting style?" How she pegged him so quickly is anyone's guess.

[desert_gaara]

"Ninjutsu," he simply says and doesn't go on to elaborate on that. Ninja keep their secrets. Well, he might reveal a bit more if asked. And definitely would if Hiei decided do not just glare daggers at him every once in a while.

[thedeath_of_you]

A snort from the general direction of Hiei. What's his problem with ninja?

Genkai nods. "I've seen a bit in my day, though I prefer a more direct approach with these old bones."

[desert_gaara]

The snort barely earns Hiei a glance, nothing more.

"So what is your style?" He asks. Is, not was. Old age doesn't mean that you can't still fight.

[thedeath_of_you]

"I'm a psychic, so naturally I use a spiritual style. My Spirit Wave technique used to strike fear in the hearts of demons. Now I just have to deal with The Dimwit."

Yuusuke yells over. "Hey Grandma, talking about the good ol' days when dinosausrs roamed the Earth?" Botan glares. "Hush Yuusuke! Genkai-san's still in her prime!" It's clear she thinks highly of the older woman.

[desert_gaara]

"Hmm. A demonstration would have been very interesting."

And Yuusuke just earned himself one of Gaara's patented looks. Nowadays, he's of the oppinion that you do not disrespect your elders like that. Unless, of course, they are completely moronic.

[thedeath_of_you]

"Unfortunately, all my real power lays in that boy over there. Scary, isn't it?"

Yuusuke seems to be oblivious. "Hey Gaara, wanna see me blow up a hill?"
