A/N: I made a sequel from my story "The Red And Black Crayon". I hope you'd like the flow of this story. Okay, so at this time, they were still young and innocent 7 years old, but let say that Kurama was older than her of 3 months.

Summary: He was her bestfriend, but after separating for a long time. And doesn't have any connections at all. Would they'll see each other again? And would they notice each other, if they haven't seen each other in a long time?

Prolonged

"It Can Last Forever"

Do you think it can last forever?

Exactly, how long is forever?


"Kurama! Come out and play with me already!" a young girl, with blue hair and amethyst eyes, calling from the gate of the Minamino residence.

And a young woman, came out from the house and neared her, and she bent down so she has the same height as the young girl. "I'm sorry, dear. But young Shuiichi can't come outside and play, right now. He is sick and needed some rest." As she placed her hand to the girls shoulder.

Eventhough. Young Shuiichi doesn't want to rest. He must preferred to have fun and play outside than staying inside without anything to do. He was mainly looking outside the window from his bed. And seeing the girl that she had grown and fond to play with and even telling secrets, he can't wait to go outside and play with her.

"How about come inside with me and lets cheer up, my young Shuiichi." Shuiichi's mother, known as Shiori Minamino, knows very well about the bonding that her son and this girl, that she calls 'dear', but well known as Botan Daoih. That is why, seeing this girl will make Shuiichi happy.

Botan is a sweet little girl, and a bubbly headed young girl. Shy and timid at first, but doesn't hesitate in the end. She transferred to the neighborhood two years ago. And she and Shuiichi meet at the kindergarten school that she transferred to. And lately became an inseparable best friends. Ever since that first day of school (A/N: If you wanna know that part, please kindly read "The Red And Black Crayon", it's just a one-shot and not that long.) they were inseparable.

As the young woman and a little girl went inside.

"Shuiichi, guess who's here!" Shiori called from the stairs. "Go to his room now, dear, and try to cheer him up, I'll bring you kids something to eat later on."

"Arigatou, Mrs. Shiori." The polite Botan said.

She peek into Shuiichi's room and let herself in. She walk and stand beside Shuiichi's bed. "How are you feeling, Kurama-kun?"§

After she entered the room and walk beside his bed, he was already gazing at her. "I am doing fine now, Botan-chan. Thank you for your concerned." Came from the reply of the ever polite Shuiichi. Well known as Kurama, to Botan.

"Well, I'm here to cheer you up." She climb up from the bed and was now sitting beside the laying Kurama.

They'd play and tell jokes while in the bed. And once in a while Shiori was checking on them and brought them cookies and OJ, but Kurama was given a chicken soup than a cookie. And then he pouted.

As time passes by so quickly, it was pass six now. And Botan was suppose to be home by or before 7. Botan had to go early though, as her parents where already here to pick her up. Shiori called her parents to pick her up, due to the illness of Shuiichi that she can't leave him, even by just a couple of minute or so.

And at this time, Shuiichi was sad again. He feel like. that girl. Botan, was the only one that can make her happy. She's the only one that can make him smile and ever joyous.


A/N: Okay, very short for a prolonged, indeed. But I have to leave it here for a moment. Please, if you do not understand the flow of the story read "The Red And Black Crayon"

§.Shuiichi was the real name of Kurama. Her mother calls her that, but Botan calls her Kurama, because Shuiichi prefer if she calls him Kurama. That part was also said at my "The Red And Black Crayon" story. But when Shiori is around, Botan calls him Shuiichi as well. That is a secret for them two to hide and keep as a secret.

Arigatou for taking the time to read "It Can Last Forever!" Please review! I am counting on the reviews.
