A/N I don't have anything to say in the Author's Note but I don't write stories without one. So…yeppers! Here's the story! :D
Disclamier: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho... Jusst the plot :)
The Diary
Kurama knocked on Botan's door in Sprit World. Today was Friday which meant movie night for the two of them. They've been best friends since day one, but Kurama liked Botan more than just a friend. He always has, but there was no way he could tell her that, he was afraid he would ruin a wonderful friendship if their boyfriend/girlfriend relationship didn't work out.
Botan answered the door still in her pajamas. "Kurama, what are you doing here so early? I thought the movie didn't start until 8 and its 6 now." Kurama smiled warmly at her. "I'm here early because you don't start getting ready until 30 before I pick you up." "Well you've got a point there." Botan said. Kurama nodded. "So instead of 30 minutes you have an hour to get ready." "Well that just makes perfect sense! Now I can actually do my hair instead of it in a plain jane ponytail! I'll go get ready now and you can watch television or read a book or something. I don't really care."Botan said as she walked into the bathroom to get ready.
"Well she said I can read a book but I didn't bring one." He thought out loud. He looked around for a book finally settling on the blue book on the living room table. He opened it up and it read Botan's Diary: Touch it and DIE!:) Kurama put the book down. He didn't want to read something so personal, especially Botan's writing. But it killed him inside to know what was in it. Kurama took a coin out of his pocket. 'Heads I read it. Tails I don't.'He flipped the coin into the air and let it hit the floor. 'Well look at that, heads!'He thought smiling. He picked up the book and flipped to the first entry.
Dear Diary,
Being a ferry girl…sucks. Bringing almost 300 souls a day to Sprit World is a lot of hard work! I mean, sometimes I try to make conversation and they don't even reply! I know your dead but you could at least be nice as to have a conversation! And then there are others that won't stop talking! And Koenma! Oh I swear! All he does is complain and yell at me! Honestly...I really hate being bossed around by a baby that's barely potty trained. -_-
~Botan
Kurama smiled. He knew she didn't like being a ferry girl but not this much. He flipped passed a couple of entries since they were about Botan's ferry girl job. But the 7th entry was different.
Dear Diary,
I meet this guy named Shuichi Minamino but he's known as Kurama. He's a half fox demon half human that can manipulate plants which is kinda cool! :D And I'm not going to lie; he's really cute with his sparkling green eyes and lively red hair! :3 Kurama doesn't really talk much but I guess he's one of those people where you have to get to know them first…and I'm determined to get to know Kurama!:D I have a feeling that we could really be the best of friends just not boyfriend/girlfriend… I could never be with a guy that handsome. But I'm pretty sure that he'll find someone way better than plain old me.
~Botan
'Well it doesn't get better than Botan. I would choose her over every girl in the world.' He thought. Kurama had no clue she thought so poorly of herself. He turned to the next entry.
Dear Diary,
I'm glad Kurama is telling me about his life, his past is quite deep. We always go on long walks around the park after dark and we just talk, sometimes until the sun comes up. :) Our friendship has grown into something that words could not explain and I have never had a friend like that before, but I'm glad I do now. :) Anybody would be lucky to have an amazing person like him in their life, I know I am.
~Botan
Dear Diary,
I miss him. I miss Kurama soooo much! :( He went on a family vacation yesterday and he won't be back until Friday. He asked me if I wanted to come, he didn't mind and neither did his family. But how could I do something like that? It's a family vacation and me complaining about it isn't really helping. -_-
~Botan
Dear Diary,
It's the week during the Dark Tournament and everything's been good so far except the small heart attacks I've been getting due to Kurama almost getting killed while he fights. Thanks a lot Kurama.-_- Anyway, I think he's been doing well during the whole tournament. However, when he fought Ura Urashima, his Yoko side came out and it is incredibly hot. :D I don't see why he keeps it dormant all the time. :3
~Botan
Kurama chuckled. "Well she's quite a fan of Yoko Kurama."
Dear Diary,
Kurama…almost died during his fight against Karasu. It wasn't like any of the other times. I mean he was really close to death this time. Ugh I hate Karasu! That…Bastard! How dare he do something like that to Kurama! Genkai already died witch put me in a depression. But I don't know what I would have done if Kurama would have died.. I've already had to ferry someone I love with all my heart to Sprit World… But I thank God I didn't have to send another.
~Botan
Kurama was stunned. "Is that how she feels about me? Does she really love me with all her heart?" He asked softly to himself but he continued to read the next entry which had a picture of him and Botan.
Dear Diary,
Fortunately in a matter of days, everything went back to normal. We won the tournament, Genkai came back and we had a party at Genkai's it was a blast!:D Keiko took pictures the whole night which explains that picture at the bottom. Usually I'm not the one for pictures but when it's with the one you love…you tend to cherish that photo…especially when the both of you look good! ;D
Kurama smiled and looked at the caption of the photo which said:
Kurama: Oh Keiko please no more pictures.
Me: Kurama's right Keiko. No more photos.
Keiko: Oh come on you guys! This is the last one I promise!
Me & Kurama: -_- Ok.
Keiko: Yay! Say cheese!
Me & Kurama:Cheese!
-Snap-
~Botan
Kurama laughed. He remembered that! That was one of his favorite memories, he had never had so much fun in his life. He flipped the page which wasn't a entry but a note.
Note to Self
IF Kurama ever ask you out, don't be a dork in front of him…Play it cool and say something like, 'I would love that.' And DON'T jump in his arms and say 'YES! A million times YES! I love you! I love you so much Kurama! :D... -_-' yeah that would be kinda weird. XD
The next page was filled with the name Botan Minamino written in different styles. Kurama smirked. 'So she wants to be Mrs. Botan Minamino? I can make that happen someday.' He thought. "Kurama! I'm almost ready!" Botan yelled from her room. "Ok. Just take your time." He said as he read the most current entry.
Dear Diary,
Tonight is yet another movie night with Kurama. :) I've came into the realization that if I'm in love with Kurama, I shouldn't push him into liking me. Time will tell if he likes me or not. If he likes me then my life would be great…but if he doesn't it would probably turn out to be unrequited love. Who knows? Maybe he's been deeply in love with me all this time and he'll finally confess to it after the movie! Bahaha! I crack myself up sometimes. I know Kurama well enough to know that if he loved me he would say it..Right?
~Botan
He closed the book and put it back on the table. 'Oh Botan. You have no idea how I fell about you but I'm too much of a coward to tell you. I feel horrible for making you wait like this. I have got to tell her.' Kurama thought. Botan walked in the living room fully dressed. Her hair was curled and it flowed down her back, her shirt was a pink spaghetti strap, with regular blue jeans and black flats. "Botan, you look beautiful as always." Kurama said. "Why thank you Kurama it's—" She stopped her sentence as she looked on the living room table to see her diary sitting out in the open.
'Oh my God! I can't believe I left that in here! What if he read it?' She thought as her heart sunk. Botan grabbed the book and clutched it closely to her chest. "Kurama did you read this?" She asked him.
A/N Oh snap! Cliffhanger! Will he tell the truth or will he lie to the love of his life? Find out next time in the 2nd chapter! (For some reason it sounds like a TV show XD) Review! :)
