Chapter 1: Apartment 202 (Shuichi)
Another day, another morning and Botan Daioh was eating her breakfast at Tiffany's. IT is one of the "mean reds" as she calls it. "Mean Reds" are those days when she felt that nothing was going right again. She needed to be cheered up by the dazzling array of fine jewelry. She is not shallow, in fact she is very deep that when a man, who obviously is very wealthy, walks in, she would force herself to fall deeply in love with him. Tiffany's is her favorite place in the world, although she never buys anything. I guess that adds to her charm. The fact that she is easily cheered up like a child by those shiny ornaments makes seem so innocent and full of life. These morning habits of Botan have been around even before I met her, before I moved to the apartment right above hers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was moving into my new apartment that my benefactress has given me. Well as my luck turned out, I do not have the keys to my apartment. I can't get in at all. I know I needed to call Shizuru for my keys so I can settle in, but then again thanks to my luck, there are no payphones around neither do I have a cell phone. What a predicament have I placed myself into? Well, I decided to call on the occupants of the apartment so that I can use their phone. I hoped that they would be kind enough to their future neighbor.
I resolved on ringing apartment 305, a Mr. Kazuma lived in it. He sounds like a reasonable man. I rang:
"Hello, Mr. Kazuma?"
"WWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Hello Mr. Kazuma, My name is Shuichi Minanimo, I will be renting the apartment across from you...."
"Why did you wake me? Go away!!!!!!!!!!"
"I need to come inside and borrow your phone......"
"I'm not home!!!!!!!!!!!"
And that was that. I guess I should try to ring someone else then. Well, the next one that I tried was apartment 202, Botan Daioh. I hoped this person would not be as rude as the other one.
"Hello?"
"Yes?" a lethargic voice answered.
"Well miss, may I borrow your phone?"
"Hhuh?" she sounded startled."
"I'm new in the building and I happen to have forgotten my keys, may you let me in and use your phone?"
No one answered. Within a few moments, locks started to click, and a young woman with striking blue hair dressed in nothing but a robe let me in. She seemed worn out yet she has a smile on her face. Then suddenly a door slammed open.
"Botan, entertaining other people I see, but you never did try to entertain me."
I assumed that was Mr. Kazuma considering the volume of his tone and the exasperating sound of his voice. I was right.
"Mr. Kazuma this is..." she looks at me.
"Shuichi Minanimo."
"He is new at the apartment building, he'll just use my telephone."
"Humph! Whatever you say." The door slammed once again but it is shut this time.
"What an exasperating person he must be?" I said.
"Of course, of course..."
She opened the door to her apartment and oh my, it was a mess. Clothes strewn everywhere, suitcases half opened, half-closed. She did not have furniture other than a couch. The house was cluttered. I never thought that anyone could live in such conditions. She did.
"I need to use your phone,"
"What time is it?" She completely ignored my request. "About one-thirty,"
"Oh my! I have to meet Keiko by two-fifteen, oh my!"
"About that phone, miss?"
"Call me Botan, I feel awkward being called miss, any way you don't mind me changing right here right? I will change and find that blasted phone. Now try to walk with me here. Oh, the wire is right here, now if I can just trace it."
She picked up her dress from her suitcase and handed it to me as she traced the phone line.
"Well, what is your name?" she asked. Has she forgotten already the conversation on the stairs?
"Shuichi Minanimo."
"You won't mind if I called you Kenshin now would you? You look so much like my brother Kenshin, except your eyes." Her voice seemed to trail off. "DARN THAT CAT! It always comes out when it is least expected. Excuse me." She continued as we traversed through her apartment in search of a phone. The cat purred as if it were guarding the fridge from me.
"Bingo!" she opened a suitcase and there it was, the telephone. "Here you go, and hand me my dress please." I handed her dress and she went to a corner of the room and put it on. She was not indecent though, but she was almost. I tried to call Shizuru then to send my keys.
" Okay can you bring right now? Sure, I'll wait." Click.
"Kenshin? Can you help me in buttoning this? And please grab my hat right there. Thanks."
I helped her button her dress and I also grabbed her hat. She had this sweet scent of lavender about her. I kind of liked it. She said that she had to leave, so I cannot stay in her apartment to wait for my benefactress. I do not mind. I told Shizuru that I'd wait for her outside any way.
Botan left her apartment as if she was rushed into leaving. I stayed and waited for my keys.

Iclavender: This fic has been inspired by numerous hours of watching Breakfast @Tiffany's and Yu Yu Hakusho simultaneously. Any way, I could not think of any character in Yu Yu that would be fit as Botan's brother, so I kinda borrowed Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin. Well, a little kid once assumed that Kenshin and Kurama are the same person so I guess. R&R
