"Sooo…how does it feel?" Yusuke asked with a grin, putting an arm around Koenma. Botan was standing at the corner of the room, arms folded, not trying to listen to the conversation. "What are you talking about?" Koenma asked with a quirked eyebrow. Yusuke's grin got wider and leaned over to Koenma. "You know, you and Ayame…like this" he answered, holding up his two index fingers and putting them together. Botan rolled her eyes with jealousy. 'If only he knew" she muttered. "Hai? You said something Botan-chan?" Kurama asked, turning to her. "Huh? Uh, nothing Kurama-kun" Botan answered, waving her hands in the air and wore a smile.
Kurama raised one eyebrow. He knew what she's trying to do. He knew that that was just a forced smile. He knew that she's jealous about Koenma and Ayame's wedding day. He knew she likes Koenma, and giving him up to someone else can be real hard for her. But for now, he'll just leave his friend alone and turned to the others.
Botan sighed with relief, knowing that Kurama can easily sense things. She really hated Enma Daoih's choice of a bride for Koenma. She thought that he would choose someone better, like her. Like her…like her, she was pretty stupid to actually think that she will be chosen for Koenma, or if Koenma would even choose her. She's just his assistant, nothing more than that. Yusuke, she once liked him, but by the minute she saw Keiko, she already knew she's the one for him. She saw how Keiko strengthens Yusuke's ki whenever he fights. All she could do is to give them informations about their mission. She just had to accept, she's destined to be alone, alone, by herself and without anyone to spend her life with. She's just a lonely spirit, the deity of death. No wonder, who could love the deity of death, knowing that most people fear death itself? She had made a lot of people miserable, being alone is just her price for it.
Ayame came inside the room and called for Koenma. Koenma immediately nodded and followed her. Botan felt herself burn up when he took her hand, but she decided to be patient. Kurama can plainly see how Botan's acting these days. How he wished he could just…gather her up in his arms and comfort her, whatever she's feeling now. 'No! Shut up, you're not suppose to think of such things!' he commanded himself. He shut his eyes tightly and inhaled deeply to keep himself in compost.
Excluding Koenma, they all decided to go to Keiko's ramen house. "Do you think they'll really get on with it?" Kuwabara asked. "I don't think so, Koenma has been decided to have a bride five times but he hasn't found the right one yet" Botan answered coldly. "Hmmm…don't tell me you're jealous, Botan-chan" Yusuke teased.
Kurama almost choked on his noodles with the joke. Hiei cleared his throat and eyed Kurama sharply with a grin. Kurama just ignored Hiei as he heard him chuckle slightly. Hiei was the only one whom Kurama could trust with his feelings. Hiei also knew about Kurama's feelings for Botan, but being a true friend, he only keeps it to himself, but...sometimes he still tries to annoy Kurama with it, just like what he's doing now.
"No, I'm not!" Botan answered, as she stood up and headed for the door. "Where are you going Botan-chan?" Keiko asked, coming out of the kitchen, holding a tray with some glasses and a pitcher of water. "I'll just go back to Reikai, they might be needing me there" Botan answered and quickly walked out of the place. "Great, you really pissed her off this time, Yusuke," Shizuru scolded as she turned to Yusuke. "Leave her alone Yusuke, she's probably having a hard time about Koenma-kun and Ayame-chan's uh, well, you know…" Keiko said with a shrug. She placed the tray on the table and gave each one of them a glass and poured some water into it.
"I'll take a walk for a while" Kurama said as he stood up. Hiei stood up as well, "Me too, I don't want to be stuck here with all of you" he said coldly, walking out the door with Kurama. "Those three are really weird don't you think?" Yusuke asked as he shifted his gaze from the door to the others and saw their faces placed on him in question. Yusuke raised an eyebrow, "What?" he asked. "Look who's talking" Shizuru teased and puffed another smoke from her cigar.
"Hn, I told you, you should have told her earlier, then maybe it wouldn't turn out like this, with her being jealous about everything about Koenma and his suppose-to-be bride, and you…I don't even want to say what you've been like" Hiei said. He was sitting on a tree branch and Kurama sitting below the tree. "What have I been like, Hiei?" Kurama asked, his eyes still fixed on the ground. Hiei eyed his friend. "I don't know, but in my point of view, you're worst than what's Botan's acting like" Hiei answered. Kurama sighed. "But, Hiei I, I can't, I'm afraid she'll just---"….. "Just what? I can't believe they call you Youko Kurama, the one that never feared anything" Hiei said, cutting him off. "Ha, look who's talking, the one who beat the black dragon. Now why can't you even tell Mukuro about yours?" Kurama asked. Hiei lost his balance and fell off the tree. "Something I said?" Kurama chuckled. Hiei put his hands on his head where the tree bumped into and shouted at Kurama, "Baka!"
It was getting late, and everyone went to his respective places. Of course, Botan's in Reikai, Kurama went back to his house, Hiei went back to Makai, Yusuke and Keiko at their house, Yukina returned to Genkai's temple and Kuwabara and Shizuru went home.
As Kurama was about to reach his house, he can't help thinking about what Hiei said a moment ago, "You should've told her earlier, then it wouldn't turn out like this…", the words rang into his head, as if trying to tell him something. "Maybe Hiei's right" Kurama told himself as he reached his house. He opened the door to his room and fell down the bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. "Botan" he whispered, the wind blew strongly, knocking off some papers from his table. The curtains on his window flew in cascades in the strong wind. Kurama looked at the window and saw something silhouette behind the curtains. He sat up and stared closely. The figure came closer until Kurama could recognize who it was.
"Konbanwa, Kurama-kun," Botan greeted with a smile. Kurama's breathing quickened. 'What is she doing here?' Kurama asked himself. He stood up and smiled at her. "Konbanwa" he greeted back. Botan smiled at him and sat on his bed. "What are you doing here this late?" Kurama asked. "I uh----I just want to spend some time with some friends, but, Keiko's with Yusuke-kun, Yukina's with Genkai-basaan and I know Genkai-san would just scold me when I come this late and Shizuru…with Kuwabara around, she's out of the question" Botan answered and looked outside. "Then why are you here?" Kurama asked again. "Well, who do you expect me to be with, Hiei?" Botan answered with an eyebrow raised. Kurama chuckled. "Now that's a must-see," he said. Botan frowned and Kurama realized it. "You know you look cuter when you do that" Kurama commented. Botan looked away. She really amuses him whenever she does that.
She's probably trying to get over her sadness Kurama told himself as traces of sadness still showed on Botan's face. It was beginning to get quiet, too quiet. Kurama looked at Botan's face, facing the floor below. Her bangs hid her eyes, only showing half of her face. But still, she looks great, in Kurama's point of view. He always considered her one of the most beautiful girls he'd ever seen, even prettier than the girls in his school, considering she's actually the deity of death.
"Kurama, I know you know what I'm thinking now, I need your help" Botan said, her gaze still on the floor. "But, what can I do to help? Enma-sama's decision is final and I know the same rule runs on Reikai" Kurama answered with concern. There was a silent pause, until Kurama realized that tears were starting to fall from Botan's face. Now he really wanted to take her in his arms, but he decided to wait a little more. He just placed his hands on hers. "Botan, you know I'll always be here to help" Kurama said as he looked on her tear stricken eyes. Botan's sobs was the last thing he wanted to hear, and he'll do anything to stop her misery. He can't stand seeing her cry like that.
Botan raised her head slightly and looked at Kurama. She felt his warm and comforting hands resting lightly on hers. She could feel the warmth he's giving her whenever she feels down. Come to think of it, he's the only one who seems to really care. She leaned over to him and rested her head on his chest.
Kurama's eyes widened as Botan's head reached his chest. He placed his arms around her, smelling her scent and feeling the warmth of her body on his. He rested his head on hers and sighed. His arms tightened around her. Now he had her, he couldn't resist the feeling building up inside him. He looked down at her. Slowly, without even realizing, his lips are starting to get nearer and nearer on hers. His lips touched hers lightly. Both felt the sudden contact but neither of them tried to pull away. Kurama closed his eyes and leaned over her as he kissed her, automatically closing Botan's eyes. He held her tighter, as if he didn't want to let go. He did not want to let go; not now, he'll never let her go away from his arms this time. This may be the perfect time to tell her about how he felt for her. Kurama let Botan's hair loose from her tight ponytail, which she wore most of the time he saw her. He always wanted to run his hand on her soft hair, now is the time he could do what he had always wanted. He promised himself to take most of the moment. He deepened his kiss, he didn't want to stop, but now he has to, the kiss was so sudden that Botan might not have time to breathe, and he also needed to breathe at the same time. He pulled away, but his arms remained where they are.
Kurama looked at Botan's face. She was breathing hardly, her face was red with embarrassment; she even tried to avoid his gaze. Kurama cupped her cheek in his palms and led her to face him, with his other hand around her. As he did so, his grip tightened on her, leading her closer to him. Botan can feel Kurama's body against hers. She didn't know what to do, so she let Kurama do everything. Her eyes met his and it was enough to make her smile out of her shyness.
Kurama moved his lips nearer to hers again, just in case she would reject his offer. His lips moved closer to hers but she didn't pull away. She just closed her eyes and let him do whatever he wanted. Kurama smiled and closed his eyes, as he felt his lips touch hers again. His hands moved onto her neck, touching her warm skin. She trembled slightly with his touch but she still felt comfortable with him. Though she's not used to these kinds of encounters, she felt safe just being in Kurama's arms. She felt the whole world stop by the time Kurama kissed her. How come she never realized it just now? Now she just felt that Kurama's the only one she needed. All these times she thought Koenma's the one for her. But Kurama…she only thought of him as a friend, but now…
Kurama's lips moved down on her jaws. They then moved to her ear. Botan shivered as she felt Kurama's tongue playing with her ear. She held his neck lightly with both hands. Kurama then came back to her lips; his tongue was really getting active now as it dove inside her mouth. Botan felt Kurama's tongue played with hers. She has never felt this feeling before in her entire life. She wanted him to do this to her forever. She didn't want him to stop what he's doing. Kurama's journey on hers came further as he moved down her neck. Her scent was really getting into his senses this time. He couldn't hold the two of them up so he leaned on her, leading the two of them down on his bed. As he laid her down the bed, he kissed her lips again and then moved down again to her neck, savoring every part of her that he kissed.
Botan can't understand what was happening. She didn't know how to react with everything that's happening. Something inside her told her she has to stop him before something happens. She felt his lips touching her shoulders this time. He slid her kimono off her shoulders a second ago. Botan shut her eyes tightly and pushed Kurama off lightly, but didn't have the strength to push him away.
Kurama sensed her light push on him, and he immediately knew what it meant. It took him a lot of will power to get off her. He raised his head and looked deeply at Botan. He smiled, but Botan didn't know what he's trying to tell her. "Ku---Kurama?" Botan asked, a bit afraid of how Kurama's acting now. "Botan, I know what you feel at the moment, you're afraid that something might happen to us later on if I continue with this, right?" Kurama asked with concern on his face. Botan was stunned. How can she reject Kurama, now that she know that she too wants him to be with her? She looked down, tears falling from her eyes again and nodded slightly. "Botan, I just want to tell you that no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you, and I'll never leave you no matter what" Kurama said with a smile, slowly lifting Botan by her chin. "Kurama…" Botan whispered and closed her eyes, as Kurama's lips got nearer and nearer to hers again.
'It's time, it's time I'd prove to her how much I love her, hn, I know this is not what Hiei meant, but...' Kurama told himself as he held and kissed Botan in his arms. He laid the two of them again down as he continued on kissing her. This time, Botan's arms lightly twined around Kurama's neck, their tongue playing with each other.
Kurama was getting all heated up; he couldn't control himself this time. He gripped her tightly, his lips moving down her neck. His hands are now exploring everything within his reach. Botan's hands rested upon Kurama's strong arms. Kurama ran butterfly kisses on Botan's neck, which tickled her a bit, and made her shiver. Kurama grinned to himself and continued on what he was doing. He pushed his lips on her neck. Botan reacted immediately and let out a gentle moan. Kurama chuckled and looked at her. Botan opened her eyes and saw Kurama gazing down on her. "What?" she asked with an eyebrow raised in question. Kurama smiled and shook his head. He was amazed at how she could act coolly at what their doing…which made him want her more. He took off the strap that held Botan's kimono. It slid easily off her waist. Botan's kimono flew open on each side, revealing the other covering beneath it. Kurama opened the white cloth off her as well. Botan's eyes remained closed as she felt Kurama's hands stroking and brushing with her body. She didn't even mind when she felt Kurama undressing her. She opened her eyes and saw Kurama's eyes gazing down her body. "I can't believe you hide such beautiful body under that stupid kimono of yours" Kurama said slyly as he turned to her eyes. Botan frowned. "Was that a compliment?" Botan asked. "I don't know…and I don't care" he answered and kissed her again. Kurama felt Botan's hands on his chest, slowly removing his clothes off. Kurama held her hands and helped her with what she's doing. "You've done mine by yourself Kurama, let me do this one" Botan said stopping with what she's doing. "Well, yeah, but don't you think it might be faster if I'll just help you?" Kurama asked with a grin. Botan shook her head and let Kurama help her. The next thing she knew was that both of them were uncovered, lying in Kurama's bed. Kurama pulled his blanket from the top of his bed and covered both of them with it. "It's getting cold, since you didn't close the window after you came in" Kurama said, adjusting the blanket to fit over the two of them. "Kurama….would you just shut up?! We've been here all night and all you do is talk!" Botan complained. Kurama looked at her in question. "Look who's talking, I'm not the only one who's been talking in here" Kurama teased. Botan lowered her eyebrows. Kurama laughed and kissed her again. "Well I think you better do something to shut me up" he said as he kissed her deeply. His arms slid behind her back. He moved down the spot between her breasts, gently and tenderly kissing it. His right hands caressed her left breast as he moved on to the other. He let out his tongue, encircling her nipple. Botan let out a gentle moan as Kurama suckled on it. His fingers played with her other aching one. Botan cried out as the pleasure Kurama's giving her reached it's maximum peak. She couldn't help crying out now. Kurama didn't mind her cry. He just continued on to her other breast and kissing it like what he did with the other one.
"Kurama…" she sighed as Kurama continued on what he's doing. Kurama's hands stroked her tender skin, wanting to hear all of her sighs. Botan's tears were starting to fall uncontrollably from her eyes. Hearing her sobs, Kurama stopped. He moved up to her again and looked at her closed, teary eyes. "Botan…"Kurama called. Botan opened her eyes and looked at him. But then she smiled. "I'm okay Kurama" she answered reassuringly. Kurama smiled and kissed her. He buried his face on her fragrant hair and smelled the sweet scent. He didn't care about the world now, all he wanted was her. "Kurama…" Botan sighed, her voice as if trying to tell him something, pleadingly. Kurama nodded and raised his head up. It as getting warm under the covers. Botan's breathing was getting faster. Kurama pushed his knee on the part between Botan's legs. He pressed it hardly on her, slowly rotating it. Botan cried out. He desire for Kurama was getting higher and higher. She couldn't hold it in her anymore. "Kurama"
Kurama breathed deeply and kissed her again, his hands moving down the spot between her legs. "Kurama!" Botan cried out as she felt Kurama's middle finger enter her. Kurama explored every corner of her, making her cry even more. He didn't care if she cried, he knew she wanted it as much as he does. He continued on rotating his finger inside her, until he heard a sigh from Botan, "Kuramaaa..." Botan sighed. He kissed her again, as he removed his finger on her. Botan arched her back in pain as she felt Kurama leaving her. She couldn't bear the feeling. "Kurama" Botan pleaded. Kurama kissed her deeply. He raised his head and looked at her. His hands moved down the spot just below her stomach. "Tell me what you feel" Kurama said as he pressed his palm hardly on it. He pressed it harder and harder slowly, his fist making circular movements as he pressed harder. Botan cried out, as pain and pleasure mixed within her. She didn't know what she felt. Botan shook her head. "Does it hurt?" Kurama asked. Botan nodded. Kurama smiled with concern. "What do you want to do now?" he asked again. Botan just moved her head on her side. "I---I don't know," she replied, "but I trust everything to you now, Kurama". Kurama felt his heart explode. He didn't know how to react. He smiled at her and hugged her for a while.
Kurama arms tightened as Botan felt something. Kurama's finger entered her again. Botan arched her back as she felt him entering her again. She was uncontrollably hot and wet. Kurama smiled to himself. 'I better keep this a little bit longer' he told himself as he felt Botan's moans. "This is going to take a while more, Botan" he said with a sly smile. "Kurama...but..." Botan reasoned, "I---I c-can't" Botan said with tears, "I can't hold it in anymore". Kurama shook his head and smiled. He kissed her again and then moved down at where his hand was. He pulled out his finger and licked it, which made Botan shiver. She felt Kurama's tongue on her. Botan cried out as she felt Kurama's tongue go inside her, she couldn't hold the feeling much longer. She couldn't resist what she's feeling. She was beginning to convulse beneath him. Kurama felt her slight shaking. It's time, and Kurama knew it. Both of them have waited too long already. Kurama readied himself above her.
"Kurama" Botan whispered as she felt what he's doing. Kurama looked at her in the eyes and smiled. "Ready?" Kurama asked. "Please, Kurama" Botan pleaded and closed her eyes. Kurama nodded. He steadied himself. Slowly, gently, he entered her. Botan cried out as the feeling of him inside her was too painful. "Kurama! Dame! Yamete!" Botan cried, tears were forming on her eyes. Kurama looked down at her, concern in his eyes. He withdrew from her. Kurama let her catch her breath for a while. "Botan?" Kurama called. Botan opened her tired eyes and looked back at Kurama. "I'm okay, Kurama-kun" she said convincingly. She smiled at him. That was enough for Kurama to know. He readied himself and went inside her again. Botan held her breath as Kurama pierced inside her. Later on, she got use to it and sighed. Kurama went in and out of her, concentrating on a certain beat. "Kuramaaa..." Botan sighed as Kurama continued on his work. Botan arched her back, her legs straddled on each side of Kurama, as Kurama supported the two of them with his hands laid on the bed. Botan threw her head back until she was only relying on Kurama for support as Kurama continued thrusting in and out of her. Kurama could hear Botan's sighs as his beat started to quicken. The beat was starting to get faster and faster, until the two of them reached the climax of their dance. Kurama stopped for a while to catch his breath. The two of them laid on the bed, with Kurama at the top. The two were breathing intensely. Botan felt Kurama come back to her again, making her let out a silent moan. Kurama thrusted inside again. This time he was getting faster and faster. Botan wanted to scream, but didn't have enough energy to do so. Her mouth opened slightly in mixed pain and pleasure. She laid her head back again as Kurama's hand supported her arching back. Kurama kissed her neck as he thrusted. "Kurama I...oohh, oh, aahhhh... Kurama---" Botan sighed as she felt she couldn't move anymore. Kurama doesn't have any strength left, but he couldn't stop. Maybe he'll just wait until the two of them ran completely out of it. He closed his eyes, kissing Botan on the lips.
Botan realized that Kurama stopped. He opened her eyes and saw his head laid on her chest. His arms fell on each side. He was asleep. Botan smiled. She pushed Kurama slightly at the side. She sat up, but then fell back again. She didn't have enough strength to go back to Reikai. She laid her head on Kurama's pillow, trying to catch her breath. She cocked her head at the side and glanced at the sleeping Kurama. She took a glance on the clock and realized that they have been there for almost three hours since she came. She closed her eyes and remembered what happened a moment ago. She opened her eyes when she heard a small groan from Kurama. She looked at him as he tried to get up but fell back again, his breathing was fast, just like what happened to her. She giggled a bit. Kurama heard her voice and opened his tired eyes. He looked up at her and smiled. He leaned over her and kissed her."So it wasn't a dream after all, I thought everything that happened was just a dream" Kurama whispered with a smile. His voice was a little rough and labored. But he still has the same gentle tone in it. Botan smiled and kissed him back. "Kurama...thank you" she said and leaned her head on Kurama's chest. Kurama couldn't speak. For the first time in his life, he did the only thing that his heart desired. But he was grateful that he was able to help her in a way. Help her forget her problem, and to help her find her happiness at the same time. "I love you, Botan" Kurama whispered. Botan sighed in his arms. "I love you too, Kurama" she replied and fell asleep, leaving only the rays of the full moon to shower upon the two of them.
Hiei sat on the tree branch where he used to stay with Kurama. He groaned. "Uh, Kurama, that's not what I meant" Hiei said out loud, knowing his friend couldn't hear. He looked at the two and smiled. "Then again, it still worked" he stood up on the branch. "Gambatte yo" he said and leaped out of sight.
