Recap of Chappie 8:
"Better make a call to her and let her know your planning, otherwise she'll
be taken!!" Shiori gave Kurama another teasing grin.
"Kasaan?? Please don't tease me anymore...I thought you're suppose to have
faith with your son and yes, she's taken by your son, me!!" Kurama grinned and
pick up the receiver. Shiori couldn't help but chuckled upon hearing her son's
remarks.
Three days before New Year...
"Botanotanotan!!" Yusuke bellowed as he rushed over to Botan's room.
"Botan!! Hayakku okanasai (quickly wake up)!! Big news!!" Yusuke knocked
Botan's door so hard as if the whole door's going to collaspe. Botan who felt
annoyed by the knocking and yelling from Yusuke, she covered herself from head
to toe with her warm blanket and began burrowing in her bed.
'Mou...Yusuke...what's wrong with you?? Ima wa nan jigan? (What time is
no
now?)' she popped her head out from the blanket and stare at her table clock
with her sleepy eyes.
'Nani...it's not even half past six!! Yusuke...why are you waking me up at
such time...' Botan screamed inwardly when she registered the time into her
mind. She quickly sprang up from her bed and stomped towards the door. Yusuke
stopped his banging and yelling when he heard heavy footsteps approching the
door.
Botan pulled open the door and gave Yusuke a no-thanks-for-your-morning-call
glare. She slowly scrolled and sat herself comfortably on her bed. The pain in
both of her legs makes her movements even more wobbly. 'Never again, I'll go
out to do New Year's shopping!!' Botan sighed and let out another yawn, both
her hands stretching up into the air. Even tiny stretches on her body aches her
muscles.
"Ano...what is it Yusuke, I'm suppose to have a very good sleep, no thanks to
you I'm fully awake!!" Botan shot continuously at Yusuke 'And because of you,
I'm half way through with my sweet dreams...' she cursed again.
"Big news...see this!! Read the headlines!!" Yusuke said and passed the
shinbun (newspaper) to Botan. Botan scanned through the headlines and as soon as
she interpreted what the headlines was, her eyes sprank open!!
HEADLINES: DEATH OF TYCOON, SHIN NO OKAZAWA, SON REFUSES TO TAKE OVER
BUSINESS!!
"Dou yu koto (What does this means)...?" Botan stood fridgeted upon reading
the headlines.
Two days ago, they received message from Hinageshi that the Okazawa's
investigation was over and the soul of Shin no Okazawa was summoned to Rekai.
The judgement was finally cast to die when Shin no Okazawa didn't make any
diavowal on all those charges held against him.
"The judgement, indeed this man had shared the same fate as Toguro Ototo!!"
Botan said with her unusual serious tone.
"No one could get away from the judgement ajudicated by Enma Daio!! Perhaps
it would be better this way!! His decendants, Ayame did made the right choice
afterall!!" she continued, gently massaging her temple.
"Botan...are you alright?" Yusuke asked when he noticed Botan's sudden mood
change.
"Eh...ha...ha, of course...eto, not quite alright actually, my feet's still
killing me if you like to know!!" Botan faked a hysterious laughter.
"Mattaku (Really)...you this!!" Yusuke gave Botan a playful headlock for
making him worried.
"Gomen ne, Yusuke, and thanks for your concern!!" Botan muttered softly
giving Yusuke a slight blush.
"Ah...ah...!! Both you and Kurama are always like that!! I know, no for for
all this formalities!! After all we've knew others for many years!! Yusuke
brushed off his embarrassement and quickly walk away from Botan and walk towards
the door.
"Ne...Botan, it's all over now..." Yusuke turned his head and winked at
Botan.
"Yusuke...hai, wakarimashita (Yes, I understand)!!" Botan nodded and gave him
an assured smile. Yusuke paused for a while when he recalled something else he
need to tell Botan.
"Ah...sou da (that's right), Kurama called up earlier and said he'll be here
by nine, since I've invited him to join us for breakfast...Seishun daro
(Youthful isn't it)" Yusuke said teasingly.
"Eh...WHAT, he did?? So early? Mou...Yusuke, why don't you let me answered
his call??" Botan bellowed, showing Yusuke a horrified look.
"He told me not to wake you up, he said that you must be very tired, he said,
you'll rest!!" Yusuke explained.
"Oh...sou desu ka...ah...Kurama-kun..." Botan uttered sweetly when she
mentioned her lover's name. (Please imagine when CCS Sakura-chan mentioning
Yukito's name )
"Demo(but)...Yusuke...why you still come and disturb my beauty
sleep...although Kurama-kun asked you not to?" Botan shot another killing glare
towards Yusuke. Yusuke sensed Botan's sudden outburst of rage, he quickly step a
few steps away from her.
"Sore ga...sore ga (that one)...wasurechatta... (I forgot)!!
Whaha..ha..ha...I was overeacted when I saw that articles..." Yusuke shrugged
and laughed out loud.
"Yusuke..." Botan's eyes soften upon hearing Yusuke's words. "Kondo...wa...
nani? (What is it now)" Yusuke shrugged when he realized Botan sudden mood swing
again.
"Shinpai no kimochi wa...arigatou (Thank you for worrying about me)!!" Botan
gracefully bowed before Yusuke and thanked him.
"Oi...oi, I said, it's nothing, besides, I'm not worrying about you...I'm
just curious..." Yusuke quickly turned away to hide his blushing facade "if
you're not planning to go back to bed, at least come out and help us to do some
housework...there are few more gs tgs to be done before New Year!! Soshite, I'll
treat you your favourite flavor of omuretsu (omelette) for your repayment!!" he
continued without turning backfaceface Botan.
"Hai...I'll be with you and Keiko shortly..." Botan remarked cheerfully.
Two hours later...
After their two hours cleaning, the whole temple look as shine as new
(Wha...pika pika!!)!! Yusuke stare those shining statues which he had polished,
with satifaction. All three of them were quite exhausted already, nevertheless
they seem very energetic especially Botan. Botan excused herself and took a
quick hot bath to refresh herself. She then eagerly waited for Kurama to come
over. Although they had been getting along for quite sometimes, but she never
settles her nervousness when it comes to meeting Kurama. Botan will always stood
in front of the main entrance half an hour before their designated time. She
would always move around making herself busy while waiting. Perhaps is some kind
of tactics for the Reikai girl to calm herself down.
"Oi...Keiko...look, she's roaming here and there again...did you count how
many times she had been going around?" Yusuke murmured.
"Hora, Yusuke...she's trying to calm down a bit...so just leave her alone"
Keiko said and with that she pulled Yusuke with her and exit the hall.
Just as what Yusuke had informed Botan earlier, Kurama had shown up at
Genkai's temple. Upon completing the last steps of the stairs, Kurama sensed a
familiar fragrance, mixed with the wind blowing towards him. 'Lavender' he
thought with a satisfied smirk on his face. At the main entrance he could see
his girlfriend waiting for him, just like a wife would anticipate for her
husband to come home and greet him with a heart warming 'Okaeri nasai
(welcome home)'
"Ohaiyo, Botan-chan, how are you today?" Kurama greeted when he was just a
few steps away from her.
"Kurama-kun, ohaiyo..." Botan greeted back but was not able to finish her
sentence, Kurama had already given her a crushing bear hug.
"Waited long already?" Kurama hushes and gave Botan a peck on her forehead.
Botan could always feel the passions that Kurama had shown towards her.
"Not really!!" Botan replied and looked into Kurama's green orbs as he
finally free her from his embrace.
"I wanted to see you!! Seeing you everyday makes me feel energetic, juden
torikaesu (energy regained)" Kurama chuckled and place a hand encircling Botan's
waist.
"Kaasan told me that you don't seem alright yesterday...what happened?" He
asked concernly, with his gaze fixing on hers.
"Eto...just feeling a little too tired after the shubbings and pushings, but
I really enjoy Shiori-san's company...she's so kind and gentle" Botan looked
away and blushed, but sooner she regain her composure, she gave Kurama a genuine
smile to assure him that she's fine. Kurama's felt like his heart is once
beginning to melt like butter whenever he sees Botan's smile.
"I'm happy to hear that too..." Kurama remarked happily. Shortly after that,
Yusuke came to join their conversation.
"Oi, Kurama, Ohaiyo, you're as punctual as usual!!"Yusuke complimented and
gave Kurama a pat behind his back.
"Ohaiyo...Yusuke!! Punctuality is also a kind of practice and conduct to
become a gentleman!!" Kurama chuckled and gave Yusuke a playful grin.
"Heh...where's Keiko-san?" Kurama asked again.
"She's dressing up...she'll be ready soon!!" Yusuke replied nonchalantly.
"Ara...I'll go and check if she need any help!!" Botan said timidly and left
the two men behind. Just as soon as there are alone, Yusuke turned around to
look at Kurama.
"So...I heard from Botan that your mom had moved over to stay with
Hatakana-san!!" Yusuke returned him with a toothy smile and the statement sounds
more like Yusuke wanted to point out something.
"Hai, sore de? (Yes, and so??)" Kurama raised his eyebrow and waited for
Yusuke to continue.
"Hee...hee, you know, you have the house all by yourself!!" Yusuke poked
Kurama and throw him another mischievous grin!!
"Hm...yes, tashikani (indeed), I'm having the house all by myself, so, what
are you trying to tell me?" Kurama looked away from Yusuke who's still staring
playfully at him.
"You know what I mean..." he continue and laughed devilishly. Kurama could
not help but blushed furiously upon hearing Yusuke's remarks. Their little
private conversation ended just as soon as their girlfriends enter the hall.
As usual Yusuke would accuse Keiko for being slow, in return, she would
protest and both of them would start an arguements. Both Botan and Kurama would
try hard to calm the couple down. All four of them went to the nearest coffee
house to have their breakfast as Yusuke had promised that he'll give them a
treat.
"What, a celebration??" Keiko asked while spreading butter on top of her
mushroom omelette.
"Yes, organizing a party just before New Year, making the festive seasons
sounds more promising!!" Yusuke exclaimed with excitement.
"It's not bad too, but where will that be??" Botan asked while helping Keiko
to refill her cup of coffee.
"Where? Of course at Kurama's place!! He's now a registered bachelor, owing a
double storey house all by himself!! Botan, don't tell me you didn't know about
this..." Yusuke grinned playfully at Botan.
"Kurama's place?? Is it okay for you?" Botan quickly turn to look at her
boyfriend and refill his cup of coffee.
"It should be fine, besides Yusuke said he'll help me to do some cleaning up
after the party!! Not only that, he had also decided to come to my house for a
sleepover!!" Kurama nodded and gave his friends a warm smile.
"Mou...iiyada yo...Kurama-kun, it's still morning and you're talking about
the sleepover already...mou, you're so impatience!!" Yusuke faked a 180 degree
high pitch tone and lean closer to Kurama who's sitting just beside him. Upon
hearing that, Kurama couldn't help but shivered with goosebumps all over his
body.
Keiko who's sitting beside Botan and facing Yusuke, choked hard, while Botan
quickly stroked Keiko's back to ease her choking. Just as soon as Keiko
recovered, she quickly gave Yusuke a big smack on his head but this time Yusuke
didn't retaliate, instead he gave Keiko a playful grin and apologize to her as
well as to Kurama and Botan. Weird it seems, but both Yusuke and Keiko seemed to
enjoy these sort of lovelife.
"So, it's decided!! After this, me and Keiko will go to supermarket to buy
some foodstuffs for tonights party!!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"Then, Botan you'll go with Kurama to help him to clear up the place and get
the settings done, understand!!" Yusuke ordered.
"Botan-chan, gomen ne, my place's is a little messy, since my mum had just
move most of her stuffs out yesterday!!" Kurama whispered.
"Daijobu (It alright), I don't mind, besides, I would loved to do so!!" Botan
said cheerfully.
Just after they finished their breakfast, both Yusuke and Keiko left the
coffee house and proceed to the nearest supermarket to buy the foodstuffs.
Kurama and Botan left the coffee house shortly after Yusuke and Keiko did.
At Kurama's house...
"Sugoi...the place is quite clean after the moving...though there's still few
boxes left scattered in the dinning hall..." Botan remarked while scanning all
over the house.
"Gomen..." Kurama blushed as he felt rather awkward for letting Botan to
witness such mess, as the place is not usually like that!!
"Ano, Kurama-kun, are these all belonging to you, how come its all scattered
here?" Botan asked curiously when she scanned most of the boxes.
"Ah...kaasan thought that these things were hers, so she took them out from
the storeroom. Later we realized that theses were actually my stuffs!!" Kurama
place a hand behind his head and blushed again.
"Iiyo...let's start cleaning before Yusuke and Keiko's here!!" Botan
exclaimed and get herself ready to do the cleaning up.
Indeed both Kurama and Botan were very good in doing cleaning ups!! Within
half an hours they had already cleared up part of the mess!! Then just when
Botan was about to clear up another box that was scattered somewhere at the
corner of the dinning hall, she saw the box was unsealed. She noticed a there's
a photo album with a beautiful cover that laid just on the surface of the box.
Nevertheless, her curiositie over the contents of the album was bugging her and
she was not able to keep her hands off the collections which her boyfriend had
kept.
"Ne...Kurama-kun? Can I look at this?" Botan took out the album and asked for
Kurama's permission before flipping through it!!
"What was that? Oh, it's my photo album!!" Kurama walked over and stood
beside Botan and then stared at the album, furrowing one of his eyebrow.
"So?? Can I? Pluleez..." Botan asked again and gave Kurama her famous puppy
stares.
"Oh...why, sure, but before that, please make yourself comfortable!!" Kurama
chuckled and took Botan's hand, leaving the dinning hall and proceed to the
living hall. Both of them sat themselves comfortably on the couch and Kurama
flipped open the cover of the album. The photo album were very well organized.
Kurama pointed at some of the photographs which was taken during his lower
secondary.
"So, this are your personal collections? Sugoi, Kurama-kun!!" Botan comment
and stare at Kurama's collection with an awe!!
"It's actually nothing!! I'm not that type of people who'll keep photographs
of my ex-school mates!! I have an obligation to do so!!" Kurama let out another
chuckle.
"Obligation?" Botan asked timidly.
"There's a teacher whwaysways have some sort of weird ideas, and there's a
time he assigned us a project to organize photo albums!!" Kurama explained and
place a hand over Botan's shoulder and pull her closer to him and with his other
free hand, he flipped the album.
Botan was so excited as she diligently scanned each every pictures. Kurama's
hair was short back then. 'I still pefer his current hairstyle' she
mentally thought. Most of the pictures were taken with his female classmates.
Botan shooked her head and could imagine his popularity among his school. Base
on those pictures, Botan also assumed that he's not those approachable type back
then.
Out of more then ten pictures, she had not been able to find one that Kurama
would plaster a smile except the one which Kurama had been staring intensely for
quite sometimes. It was a picture of him and a girl that was at his age. There,
he was at least, he had plastered a faint smile. A moment of silence drowned the
dinning hall.
"Heh, your school days seems fun!! Ah, urayama shii (envious)!!" Botan
remarked as trying to break the silence. Botan was worried, Kurama had been
staring that particular photo for quite some times. Botan continued to stare at
him again until Kurama finally turned around and look deep into her eyes.
Without saying any thing he gave her a bear hug.
"Kurama-kun...what happened?" Botan asked curiously when Kurama's hug becomes
tighter.
"Botan, I'm so glad that you were here with me!!" Kurama hushed.
"Doushita no (what's wrong), Kurama-kun?" Botan asked again, but this time
sounds more worried when Kurama called her Botan without the 'chan' behind!!
Usually he'll only do that when it comes to important matters. Kurama slowly
released Botan and stared into her eyes and turned away again.
"The girl in the picture, she's Maya Kitajima!! We were classmates since
first year in chu-gakko!! She's the only girl in school who had caught my
attention!!" Kurama showed the picture to Botan and told her about his meeting
with Maya. Botan felt butterflies in her stomach when she heard those words,
especially the very last part, nevertheless she kept silent and let Kurama to
continue.
"She's a very passionate girl, tadashi (however), I realized that I couldn't
possibly return her kindness when a youkai had kidnapped her, moreover she's
just a mere human who equipped certain amount of rei-ki. With the help of Hiei,
I saved her from the hand of that youkai. Later, I erased part of her memories,
all of her affections towards me!! After chu-gakko, Kitajima's parents
transferred her to another school and it was then, a year later, I met you and
Yusuke by faith!! Both of you had changed my life!!" Kurama remarked and let out
a faint smile.
"Sou ka?" Botan whispered softly so that Kurama cannot sense her
discertainties. 'Not able to return someones affection...especially when two
people having the same kind of affections...it's too sad...too hurt...'
Botan thought sadly. 'So, he did have a first love after all and she's so
cute...should I consider her as his first love, though they never go on a date
before, what if...? Mou...Botan no baka, stop making a fuss over the past!!'
Botan grumbled inwardly.
"Yes, Yusuke had help me to change my way of life and you...Botan, you have
given all the love and affection that I've always wanted!!" Kurama professed and
took Botan hand tightly.
"Botan-chan?" Kurama blinked a few times when Botan didn't say anything.
'Maybe telling her the truth is not a good idea, a woman and being sensitives
are women's perquisitions' Kurama thought wearily and slightly squeezed
Botan's hand to bring her back to reality.
"Botan..." Kurama called her again. This time she answered him when her
beautiful violet orbs fixed into his. He could tell that she's not feeling
comfortable with the topics when he stared at her now confusing facade. He
quickly apologized to her and Botan looked away from him again.
"Nan...nan demo nai desu (It's nothing), you don't have to apologize" Botan
shrugged and let out a faked laughter. "Hora, we better get back to work,
otherwise, Yusuke and Keiko might think that we're not doing our job!!" Botan
continued and sprung up from the couch. Leaving Kurama in the living hall, Botan
walked towards the dinning hall. Just when Kurama was about to go after her, he
saw Botan's head (still attaching the body!! LOL) popped out from the hall.
"Ano...Kurama-kun, I...I trust you, really, but please give me some time to
shove off those stupid invidousness!!" Botan blushed and gave Kurama a genuine
smile. With that assurance, Kurama nodded and let out a small and contented
chuckle, for those words that Botan said had eased his worries.
While in the kitchen...
"So, we have beefs, sausages, mushrooms and fishballs...yummy!!" Botan raised
both her hand and cheer with delights "Bansai...bansai, Keiko, you're so kind,
all these are my favourites!!" and with that Botan gave Keiko a big bear
hug.
"Ne...Botan-chan, gomen...ne, but just try to find out what had happened to
both of you?" Keiko asked concernly. Although Botan had tried to be as cheerful
as possible but somehow the her heavy heart seemed too obvious for her friends
to notice.
"Both of us? You mean me and Kurama-kun?? Why, nothing, what makes you say
that?" Botan shrugged upon hearing Keiko's interrogation.
"Based on the way Kurama looked at you and vice versa, you're avoiding his
stares, makes me conclude that!! And moreover...experiences tells it all..."
Keiko sighed and later place a hand on Botan's shoulder. At that point Botan
couldn't hold back her worries and tell Keiko what had happened to both of
them.
"Naru hodo (I see)!! No wonder I could see that you're avoiding him!!" Keiko
nodded and gently held Botan closer towards her like an sister giving her
necessary heartening.
"Jitzu wa (Actually), I'm not mad at him, really, it's just that I'm so
embarrassed. Feeling jealous over a girl whom Kurama-kun had not even dated!!
Yes, indeed, I'm quite hurt at first when he told me that he had certain fondess
towards the girl before meeting me '...and she's so cute too' she
frowned.
"Shikashi (however), I was not able to act calm, instead my jealousy ruled
over my personality!! I must have looked very ugly at that time!!" Botan let out
a dreadful sigh and covered her face with both her hands.
"Hora...perhaps it's not as bad as it seems!! Moreover, I can see that
Kurama-kun still had those passionate eyes on you!! To him, you're the most
important person after his mother!!" Keiko exclaimed.
"Tsumari (In short)!! You're an apple to his eyes!!" Keiko continued trying
to shove off Botan's negative thoughts.
"Apple to his eyes...I'm not an apple...you know?" Botan raised her eyebrow
upon hearing Keiko's last comment.
"It's an idiom, meaning that you're very important to Kurama..." Keiko sighed
at first, not long after that, loud laughters could be heard from the
kitchen.
"Keiko-chan, arigatou..." Botan embraced Keiko tightly, so tight that she
nearly had Keiko suffocated.
Whereas...at the dinning hall...
"Hm...Seems like Botan-chan has get over it already..." Yusuke grinned and
gave Kurama a mischevious grin.
Kurama just nodded and his heavy heart had just being unloaded. Although
Botan's words had given Kurama's heart an ease, but he could tell that she's
still building a wall in between them, not to mention when she's trying to avoid
their eyes contact at most of the time. At certain time, Botan would keep a
distance away from him when they are clearing the remaining boxes in the dinning
hall. When he offered to help, Botan would quickly shook her head to turn him
down instead of saying 'NO'. This make Kurama's heart aches, nevertheless he
also understands that he'll have to give some space for Botan to overcome her
uncertainties.
"It's my fault!! I shouldn't had told her that...I'm hurting her again...how
silly..." Kurama let out another sigh and cursed himself for having such
half-baked ideas of telling Botan about Maya.
"Oi..oi, Kurama, don't be such a kill joy...perk up my dear buddy, otherwise
you'll make the situation even worst for both of you..." Yusuke gave Kurama
another pat on the back. They finished everything around mid-noon. After that,
Yusuke make a call to the Kuwabara residence, informing them to come to Kurama's
house for a little gathering at night.
"So...did you know where is Hiei now?" Yusuke interrupted Kurama's though
who's still staring towards the kitchen door. "Ah...not sure, but I'm sure he'll
come here tonight, for Yukina will be here as well..." Kurama assumed as he
massaged his heavy temples to sooth the throbbing pain.
Both Keiko and Botan are still inside the kitchen preparing more foods for
tonight's hotpot party (sukiyaki)!! After finishing the preparation, Keiko
informed Yusuke and Kurama that she and Botan will be going back to the temple
to pick up some of their belongings for tonight's sleepover. Kurama nodded and
looked behind Keiko, where Botan's standing at the front door waiting for her
already. On the way back, Keiko and Botan met Shizuru and Yukina waiting at the
front gate and was about to go into the house!! They were surprise at first when
they didn't see Kuwabara and was later told that he's out to buy some more foods
for the gathering.
"Oh...Kurama, good for you!! Now you're officially an independent adult!!"
Yusuke teased and gave Kurama a hard smack on his back, while Kurama who was at
that time savouring a cup of delicious fruit punch had choked heavily just as
soon as he received a nice and warm smack from Yusuke.
"Mou...Yusuke, hidoi (bad), how could you smack Kurama's back so hard,
knowing that he's having his drinks!!" Botan reprimanded and quickly rush over
to aid Kurama by stroking his back to relieve the chokings.
"Ah...suman, suman (Sorry, sorry)!! Too excited already...Kurama...daijobu?"
Yusuke asked and let out a loud laughter.
"Ne, Kurama feeling better?" Botan asked concernly while still continuing
stroking Kurama's back.
"Hai...arigatou..." Kurama replied as he slowly recovered from choking.
"Yogatta..." Botan let out a sighs of relief. Both Kurama and Botan
illiterately stared at each other for quite sometimes. Slowly their stares turns
passionate and it seemed like forever, not bothering to look away from each
other, even the crowd of spectators are staring at them and teasing them.
"Hn" Hiei smirked as he's the only one who didn't join the crowd.
'Kitsune...looks like your mate is not mad anymore!!' Hiei telepathy
Kurama.
'Hiei...so, you're concern about me too...how touching ...!!' Kurama
telepathy Hiei in return, earning the Jagashi one of his famous killing glare
and later replaced with a smirk.
Everyone seems to have lots of fun!! Both Yusuke and Kuwabara almost had
their tummies bursted when they finished most of the foods from the hotpot!! The
night ended wonderfully with everyone enjoying games, drinks and music. The
groups also shared their recent activities and talked about their past
adventures and achievements.
Keiko quickly demanded Yusuke to help her up in the kitchen, nevertheless her
purpose was to give more privacy to Kurama and Botan who seemed to have gotten
the problems resolved.
"Chotto...Keiko...hora, I'm coming..." Yusuke beld and and stormed into the
kitchen leaving both Kurama and Botan inside the dinning hall, clearing up
junks. Taking this opportunity, Kurama quickly walked and stood beside Botan
again. Both of them caught each other's glance.
"Botan-chan...I'm almost done, do you need any help here?" Kurama asked
politely, somehow he's trying to pull Botan into a conversation.
"It's alright...I'm almost done...too" Botan replied without turning around
to look at Kurama. Once again the hall was drowned by silence for quite
sometimes.
"I..." both Kurama and Botan said in unison.
"You..." again they shrugged when they were caught saying the same word at
the same time.
Both Kurama and Botan stared at each other with amusement. Kurama gestured
Botan to speak first but Botan insist that Kurama could go ahead first. Kurama
heaved a sigh and closes his eyes to compose himself before pulling Botan
towards him and claimed her lips posessively. Botan was bewildered at first when
Kurama suddenly crushed his lip into hers, but later, she closed her eyes and
savoured every moments she had with Kurama. Botan let out a soft moan when
Kurama's tongue teased against hers. They kissed passionately for quite
sometimes until both of them broke away and grasps for air.
"Why?" Botan asked as she turned away from Kurama.
"Huh? Why what?" Kurama asked, and Botan let out another sigh before she
continued.
"Why did you kissed me...so...suddenly...?" Botan shrugged when Kurama laid
his soft fingers and rubbed against her rosy cheek. The touch of fingers sending
little shivers through her as it slowly made its way down to her neck, trailing
towards her shoulder then to capture her hands. Gently, he pulled Botan towards
him and gave her another passionate embrace.
"Botan...please forgive me..." Kurama spoke softly and Botan hastily lowered
her eyes again before the expression she saw in his - a glowing warmth that did
strange, inexplicable things to her heatbeat and made her catch breath.
It seemed like hours before she drew breath again and her head was spinning
with the effect of it, like a runner who has reached the limits of endurance.
Her pulses were pounding wildly and her heart seemed to have gone completely out
of control, thudding crazily at her ribs and making her even more
breathl
Botan's heart lurched wildly and she felt suddenly as if everthing she ever
wanted to happen was happening at once. "Kurama I..."
"Will you?" Kurama asked again, without giving her time to finish, and Botan
nodded, her head leaning against the enfolding arms.
"How could I ever be mad at you?" Botan buried her face into Kurama's warm
chest "realizing that it hurts so much to hate a person that you've dearly
love..." she whimpered.
"Arigatou..." he said softly, and an arm around her waist drew her close
against him. Once again, his mouth just touched hers with that soft, teasing
lightness she remembered had been a prelude to a much more passionated caress.
Before the warm fierceness of Kurama's mouth could completely overwhelm her,
however, the cheering sound of Yusuke and Keiko shattered the quiet of the big
dinning hall. They both turned and looked towards the kitchen entrance where the
cheering couple stood, eyeing them mischieviously.
"So...finally, our Botan O'hime-chan is not mad anymore...otherwise our dear
Ojisama, Kurama-kun would not be able to sleep for the whole nite!!" Yusuke
remarked glandly.
"Yusuke...are you expecting me to bug you all night, if ever Botan's not goin
to forgive me..." Kurama chuckled and stare passionately at Botan.
"Oh...no wonder you suddenly becomes so keen to help me up...instead of
bugging Kurama...to you you his game collections..." Keiko remarked and grin
mischieviously at Yusuke who just flashed her a trademarked toothy smile in
return.
"Anyway...let's clear off the last piles of junks...so we can go to bed
earlier...!!" Yusuke remarked extravagantly and so the without delaying further
all four worked together to clear off the remaining junks and cleaned the
dinning hall.
Another few hours later...
"Yatto (finally), it's all done..."Botan muttered weakly as she sat herself
comfortably on the couch beside Kurama, vice versa, Kurama leaned over and
settled his head on Botan's shoulder.
"Sou desu (Yes), it's finally done and it's already the next day..." Keiko
commented when she look at the clock showing it's almost 2 a.m in the
morning.
"Ha...ha...two more days till New Year..." Yusuke who's still as energetic as
before, exclaimed excitingly.
"Hai!!" Kurama let out a chuckle upon seeing Yusuke's excitement. The
glittering in Yusuke's eyes had already hinted Kurama that the Reikou Hadoken's
bearer had already had plans for the soon coming New Year.
"Yappari (Of course), we should always enjoy ourselves to the fullest!!
Na...na?" Yusuke queried and let out another toothy laughters.
"Dakara (And then)?" Botan's raised one eyebrow and asked Yusuke to
continue.
"Dakara (Like I said), on New Year's Eve (Omisoka), we're going to have the
toshi-koshi soba together...it will be fun, just like last night..."
Yusuke suggested "sore de (after that), we can stay until midnight just to
listen to the joya no kane!!"
"Omisoka ka? Iie no kanji desu (such a good feeling) ...yes...yes, we'll do
it!!" suddenly Botan too seem to have regained her energy
(Juden...Kaishitte)!!
"Of course we can do it, but before that, Yusuke, you'll have to help me to
prepare those osechi ryori before we could go..." Keiko remarked.
"Osechi ryori? Sou sou, kaasan said that she'll be preparing it for me before
leaving for holidays!!" Kurama said softly.
"Kurama-kun? I heard that you family will be going off for holidays...you're
not going with them?" Keiko asked curiously.
"Not this year...besides me and Botan had already planned to visit the Shinto
jinjya (shrine) performance during the first df Nef New Year, soshite..." Kurama
replied and shrugged when Yusuke threw a devilish grin at him.
"Seishun daro..." Yusuke faked another high pitch tone and all of them
couldn't help but laugh out loud. They begin to start chatting about last year's
New Year where Kurama was not around. That is why, they seem to be more than
happy to have Kurama with them for this coming New Year.
"Botan-chan, please wait for me for a while! I've something to show you!!"
Kurama mimicked and Botan doesn't know how to react upon it answered with a
nodded.
'What is he trying to show me...' Botan thought curiously, her hearts
still pounding fast. This is the first time that she had ever stay over at
Kurama's place. Although they've been dating for about two months or more,
Kurama had always been very well discipline. Botan could feel hot cheeks burning
when she recalled at certain time Kurama would kissed her passionately, however,
they had never go further than sharing hot kisses and warm embraces.
Botan quickly shoved off her thoughts when she hear footsteps coming down
from the stairs. Just when Kurama came back to Botan, he was quite surprise to
notice her red face. Botan too, noticed that Kurama had stared intensly at her,
thus she swiftly move away from his gaze.
"Sorry...for keeping waiting..." Kurama said as walk towards Botan. Her
heartbeat fasten, she's now alone in the quiet hall with Kurama and moreover,
she's now in his house.
"Botan...shall we?" Kurama also noticed Botan's sudden t, ye, yet, he tried
not to scare her out. Instead he gently laid his hand on Botan's shoulder and
with other hand he pulled her along with him and went outside the house.
"Kurama-kun...where are we going??" Botan shrugged when Kurama took her
outside and walked towards the backyard.
"Actually, I've been wanting to show you this since afternoon..." Kurama said
as he stopped and turn around to look at Botan again "Boku no himienchi (secret
base)!!" Kurama continued as his mouth hinted at a smile.
Botan bit her lip anxiously, covinced at last that wherever Kurama would
bring her to, she would follow.
"Hai...tanoshimi!!" Botan nodded when Kurama asked if she still want to go.
He gently took Botan's hand and both of them went into the backyard. Not far
away she saw fences surrounding that small piece of land. Anxiety caught her
once again and when she enters the yard, she was overwhelmed to see beds of
roses with dient ent colors laying infront of her eyes.
"This...they are all these planted by you?? But...it's already December..."
Botan asked excitingly and walked a few steps closer to the feel the petals with
her fingers.
"I've spent lots of time planting and taking care of these beautiful living
plants...especially now it's winter..." Kurama said as he too walk forward and
stood behind Botan.
He then embraced her from behind and he turned her back to face him, gently
but insistently, and he studied her for a moment in silence. He let go her
a
and ran his fingers down the length of her now flushed cheek and burrowed into
her turtle-neck shirt to feel the soft skins of her neck, a touch that shivered
through her like fire as she fought with a sudden sense of elation that was
quite uncontrollable.
"Do you like it?" Kurama hushed sending another shiver down Botan's
spine.
"Like it? I loved roses, they are awesome...!" Botan remarked excitingly
'and they smelled like you too..' she continue , these would eventually
be all yours!!" Kurama said as his glittering eyes once again looked into
Botan's.
"Mine?? All these??" Botan stood frigeted 'Roses, bundles of roses, beds
of roses!! All mine??' She thought as she look away from Kurama and blushed
heavily.
"Botan-chan, shiteru (do you know)? Roses are flower of love. Different
colors of roses delineate different meaning" Kurama explained and gently held
her at arm's length, looking down at her with a small half-smile on his face an
a soft dark glow in his eyes that warmed her even more than physical
presence.
"I...I've heard of that too..." Botan shrugged and divert her glance towards
those roses "Red colors defines love and respect (blush, blush) eto...yellow is
joy and gladness...that one over there, the yellow ones with red edges
represents...fallinglovelove..." Botan said and glance up swiftly, her lips
parted, her eyes searching his face just to see if she just got all the meanings
right.
"Kaizetsu (Splendid)!!" Kurama bent his head briefly and brushed his lips
lightly across her forehead. "Botan...these roses represents all my love...my
love for you...!!" his words whispered against her ear as he bent his head
closer, his breath warm on her neck, his lips brushing her soft skin gently,
Botan closed her eyes as the strength of his arms was too comforting.
"Kurama-kun...Aishiteru (I love you)..." she said simply, and Kurama gazed at
her for a moment in silence, then swiftly he bent his crimson head and buried
his face in the soft riot of her blue-colored hair, his mouth warm and ardent
against her soft skin as he lowered her turtle-neck collar and kissed her neck
and throat and the little pulse that raced wildly at the base of her throat.
"Then...be mine..." he whispered "please...koshiku (darling), please be with
me, forever..."
"Last night..." he said, "I was so worried to ever think that you'll hate me
forever." He then kissed her mouth slowly and lingerly, his arms folding her yet
more tightly to the curvve of his own body. "How could I ever be possibly let
you slip away from me...again...so, please be with me...itsumo
(forever)...isshoni (together)..." he whispered.
"Hai..." Botan nodded, and Kurama looked up swiftly, his eyes glittering
darkly green between those long lashes.
"Yogatta (Great), I was actually looking forward for you to say that!!"
Kurama remarked.
"You...you'd have..." Botan shook her head when her words failed her, her
eyes huge and unbelieveing, and Kurama chuckled.
"Right now...the best place for you is in my bed..." he told her, and before
she realized his intention, he had lifted her into his arms and was carrying in
a bridal style.
"Kurama...chotto (wait)...what I mean is yes, no...mou...this is too fast..."
Botan shrugged and blushed furiously, especially he Kurama told her that they'll
be sharing one bed.
"What...about Yusuke...he'll be teasing us again, once he realized that
you're not sleeping with him!!" she continued as Kurama shoved off Botan's
protest and began to walk back to into the house.
"Sleeping with him? As a straight man, I'm not interested in sharing a bed
with a guy, besides, Yusuke has been threatened with all manner of terrible
fates if he dares to interrupt us!!" he told her with that wicked glitter of
laughter in his green orbs as he looked down at her.
Botan stared at him startlingly "You...you've told Yusuke
what...where..."
"I told him I was bringing you here to the my secret base and confess my love
for you..." Kurama said smoothly "Even Keiko-san wouldn't want to interrupt
that!!"
"Still...you still have to let me have my bath first...ano...I can't go to
bed without having a ...bath" Botan said in a small husky voice.
"There's a bathroom attached in my room, besides I also need to have one
too...but, I can let you have the bathroom first..." Kurama interrupted and then
captured her mouth with his to shut her up.
"No worries, I will not touch you...if you're not ready...I just wanted to
hold you by my side...overover...the bed would be warmer if you're laying beside
me..." he mimicked softly into Botan's ears.
Again Botan's tongue slid nervously over her lips and she scanned her
surrounding only to realized that they were already inside the house, and Kurama
was about to step his foot onto the stairs. 'Yabai (No good), there's no
turning back...'
Botan's cheeks were now hotly pink when Kurama stop and looked at her again.
His eyes had a bright, glittering look that promised of what he had told her
earlier, that NOTHING will happen to them tonight.
Botan's heart was tudding wildly in her chest and her head too was full of
its pounding beat when Kurama stood infront of a door which had his name tag on
it. Today their relationship would marked at a higher level. Although Botan had
been here at Kurama's house before, but she never get to go into Kurama's room.
This is to avoid Kurama from unneccessary reprimanding from his parents,
especially his step father, Kenji Hatanaka.
"I really..." Botan lowered her voice as soft as possible so she would not be
heard by others, except Kurama.
"You know what an unsaccharrine devil I am..." Kurama interrupted softly, he
let out a faint chuckle and despite Botan's protests, he opened up the door and
carried Botan and both of them entered his room.
Kurama slowly walk across the room and towards his bed, gently putting her
down to sit on his bed before leaving her. Botan stared at him in the dark, as
Kurama's shadow dances on the wall as he walks towards the door and bend down to
pick up something from the floor. Botan was surprised when Kurama passed her a
bag which she later recognized that it was all her belongings which she had
packed for the sleepover.
"This...this, MY BACKPACK..." Botan screeched but she covered mouth as soon
as she realized it would not do any good for her to scream and wake up the
others in the middle of the dawn. "Why is my backpack in your room??" was the
only question which had instantly registered in her mind.
"Keiko-san passed it to me...and asked me to take care of it..." Kurama sat
besides Botan as he replied her and let out another chuckle when he saw her face
flushed as red as tomatoes.
"My oh my, even Keiko also..." Botan let out a sigh, but the brightness of
her eyes owed itself to excitement rather than resentment disregarded of how
strongly she had been protesting earlier.
"So...would you like to have your bath first!! Don't worry...take your
time...and I won't peek..." Kurama teased and noticed Botan sudden sprang up
from his bed. She took her backpacks and walk towards the bathroom. She then
stop infront of the bathroom door and turn to face Kurama again.
"Ano...the word you said just now...I take it as a promise you've made...no
peeking..." Botan finished her words to Kurama and quickly enters the bathroom
to hide her flushes.
'If this go on...I might...' Botan sight as her head tilted downwards
and fixed her drowsy eyes on the floor. Nevertheless, she shoved off all her
desires and quickly turn on the tap to let hot water fill up the bathtub, while
she undress herself.
Meanwhile, Kurama who's been scrolling here and there for quite sometimes,
couldn't settled his anxiety, especially when he heard the sound of running
water. 'Although, I said I would not peek...but it's really hard for
me...especially...' Kurama blushed especially when his mind suddenly had
images of Botan's innocent look, the scent coming out from the bathroom, every
moments they shared had make his love for her insatiable. And now, something in
his mind is bugging him to take her tonight, while the other part of him had
tried hard to control these urges.
"Ochitsuke (calm down), I'll have to cool myself down...for Botan, I will..."
Kurama hissed and sigh when he realized that his body's becoming hotter.
Few minutes later, Botan came out from the bathroom, wearing a solid
pink-colored pajamas. Kurama's breathe was taken away upon seeing Botan's rubbed
her slightly damped hair, moreover she smells great. 'She smelled like
me...' Kurama thought and stared at Botan for quite sometimes. Her fair and
beautiful face, her neck, the collarbones and her slightly exposed chest. Botan
stopped when she noticed that Kurama was staring at her intensly.
"It...it's your turn...!" Botan said and awkwardly looked away from Kurama
and he just nodded walk towards her. Due to the limited light shone into
Kurama's room, Botan couldn't tell if Kurama's blushing when he passed by her
side and with that he quickly took his towel and other belongings and enters the
bathroom. Just after Kurama closed the bathroom door behind him, Botan gaze was
diverted towards the bed, the place where she and Kurama will be resting, makes
her feverish, undeniable, she too wanted their relationship to be more intimate
rather then kissings and huggings, yet she was too shy to tell Kurama, despite
of the facts that she was the one who had protested from the very beginning. She
let out another faint sigh and continued drying her hair.
While Kurama's taking his bath, he too couldn't control himself...he have to
find a way to stop his urge. He couldn't just ask Botan to go to the other room,
because he had earlier assured her that although they are staying in the same
room, he would not do anything that she's not willing, he had to prove to Botan
that he will keep his words and perhaps it's some stupid male ego, telling him
not to give up. However, sleeping with Botan without touching her, could be as
hard as towards impossible.
'I can't let this go on...' Kurama hissed and slightly knocked his
head against the wall. He then took the shower and showered his head with cold
water despite the chilliness that sends shivers from his head till toe. He then
sunk all of him into the bathtub to rest himself, both physically and mentally.
After a refreshing bath, Kurama put on his milk-colored pajamas and dry his hair
with a blower. Botan, who was now laying comfortably in Kurama's bed, was
slightly distracted by the sound of the blower when she was about to fall
asleep. She sat up once more when the door open up and Kurama came out the door
and walk towards his table instead of the bed.
He opened up one of the drawers and took out a rope. When Botan saw the rope
in his hands, she asked what would Kurama do with it.
"I know this sounds silly, but, as I promised you earlier, I'll do my best
not to touch you...but..." Kurama stated and looked away from Botan, hiding his
embarrassment.
"You're goin to use this on me?" Botan asked, eyes widen. "Not you...it's for
me..." Kurama muttered, his face still flushing red. Somehow Botan realized
Kurama's sincerity of his respect towards her. Once again, both of them remains
silence for a short while. Botan then get out of the bed and took a few steps
and stood facing the window and stare at the darken sky, a geniune smile
plastering on her face when she know that Kuramd ald also have the same feel
towards her.
"Ne...Kurama...you don't have to use the rope anymore..." Botan said when she
turned around to face him. She then slowly brought her hand to unbuttoned her
pajamas and let it flung open freely, exposing her now naked upper body,
shinning under the beautiful moonlight. Her skins is just as fair as snow.
Kurama hold his breathe and quickly went over to cover her nakeness with his
towel "What are you doing?" he asked weakly and looked away from Botan.
"You don't have to do this for me...I admitted I might not be able to control
myself, not to touch you...but you don't have to do this..." Kurama's
hushed.
"Please don't mistrust me...I promise, I won't step out of line..." he begged
and shrugged when he felt soft hands carressing his now feverish cheeks.
"I don't mistrust you..." she promised, looking at that handsome, earnest
face. "In fact, not only men would go estrus..." she whispered and rest her head
on Kurama's broadchest.
"Sometimes a woman would have this kind of urges too...and because...I've
loved you so much..." she said, closing her eyes to feel their body searching
for each other's warmth as Kurama held her closer and tighter towards his
body.
"Bot." K." Kurama moaned Botan's name as she pulled his face to hers, kissing
him tenderly and he responded in kind. She let herself fall onto the bed pulling
him along with her.
Their gentle kisses turns feverishly as they had so
many times before. Botan felt the arousal within in her as they explored each
other's mouths and decided that this time she would give it all to Kurama. She
pulled him to her pressing her mouth hard onto his, kissing him
deeply.
She lay on her back and he lay beside her, his leg was over and
resting between hers. Her other leg was drawn up over his. Kurama began to kiss
her neck, she could feel his tongue, hot on her skin. His fingers reached for
his towel which he had used to covered Botarliarlier and continued to draw it
down, he could hear her breath quicken. His hand led the sides of her pajamas
away from her body to show her now exposed chest, her smooth skin beckoned
him.
He traced his fingers along her stomach. He could hear her
excitement in the breathy sounds she was emanating "Kurama..." she moaned when
he slipped his hand under her waist raising her lower back, feeling the longing
in her.
Kurama moved back up to her neck and bit lightly on her earlobe,
his fingers pressing into her skin. She was inciting him with her soft moans to
finally express their desire fully. He lay beside her, his hand slipped down her
stomach to her pants and undid the first button, then the second revealing her
satin undergarment. He ran his finger along just under the lacy band teasing
her, tng hng himself. Her hand gripped his wrist gently urging him to
continue.
He looked at her again, keeping his hand under her to see her eyes
closed, back arched. Kurama's hand slipped away from her pants and rested on her
waist, he raised his face to look at her. She couldn't read his expression. His
eyes watched hers as she stitched her eyebrows in wait.
"Botan," he whispered, "...you know...we could just stop here right now..."
he rested his head on her chest for a moment and his hair tickled her chin.
"Kurama....aishiteru..." she whimpered softly "Dakara...onegai...don't
stop..." Botan hushed as her fingernails dug into his back.
"Botan..." their passionate eyes met as Kurama looked up "I love you too..."
he stated firmly, yet passionately.
Tears of joy flowing down from her
face when Kurama returned her affection 'He loves me' she thought, his
words...so firm and so earnest.
"Doshite??" Kurama stopped of what he's doing and asked concernly. He could
see her violet eyes full of anticipation. "Kurama..." she whimpered
"onegai...don't stop, even if I beg, don't stop"
They spoke no more
Kurama took her into his arms she knew that this was what she wanted, more than
anything. She wanted to be with him anyway she could. Their lovemaking lasted a
long time. At first Kurama had hesitated, if he should go on, when he had hurted
Botan, realizing that she's still innocence, nevertheless she encouraged him to
continue. "Koishi...let me kiss you..." was all he can say to her, knowing that
hurting her in process would be inevitable.
Kurama had been a patient and
generous lover, making every moment enjoyable and special, while Botan had been
so gentle and passionate. Both of them were tired but satiated. Botan also knew
it was something she would never forget. Exhaustlessly, they lay in each other's
arms catching their breathe between kisses. He gently stroked her face with his
fingers and kissed the tip of her nose.
"Kurama...I'm so contented..."Botan whispered.
"Me too...I don't know what I've done, but kami-sama had been so kind to let
me have you..." Kurama stare lovingly at his lover as he brushes a few strain of
hairs, to study her beautiful face.
"Are you hungry? I can cook you something to eat..." Botan said as she sudden
sprang up from the bed.
"I'm, ho, how about you? Perhaps I can bring you something if you
want..."Kurama offered.
"Nope, I'm not..." Botan shooked her head.
"Then, perhaps we still can have few hours rest...beside, you must be quite
tired by now..." Kurama suggested and gently pulled her to lay beside him again.
Botan nodded when Kurama reached for her and soon their caresses turned again to
passion.
As they fell back together on the bed, she realized that he had once again
aroused Kurama's need.
"More?" her eyes widen when she asked.
"More" Kurama confirmed as both of them began kissing wildly again.
