They have been together for centuries as boss/servant/friends relationship. And the time is near that the prince should get himself a girlfriend that he should marry before his 720th birthday, and his reliable and cheerful ferry girl is there to help him win the heart of his ideal girl . But, something happened…. and they both realized which whom they are really belong.

Author's notes: I have just discovered this site early this year and since then I got hooked up on reading fanfiction mainly Dragonball, Detective Conan, Flame of Recca, and YuYu Hakusho ( Ghost Fighter in my country) and then I realized " Why shouldn't I make my own fanfic?" so I signed up early this month. I started writing this fic last June in my native language Tagalog and continue working on it later last month. I have already reached half of my story(but not yet translated). This is my FIRST ever fic so forgive my grammar( I am not so confident in my English grammar but I do hope became better on this). I am going to make sure you'll understand what is going on in this story. By the way, YYH(Ghost Fighter) is currently airing AGAIN! For the hundredth time(just exaggerating) on my country courtesy of GMA network. I had watched it first when I was on my early grade school days and it was one of the many shounen animes I grew up with. And now that I am on my 3rd yr college I still seeing Yusuke(Eugene), Kazuma(Alfred), Hiei(Vincent), and Kurama(Dennis).

Please read and review! This is dedicated to all huge BotanKoenma fan including me;)

DISCLAIMERS: I do not own YuYu Hakusho neither make a single penny through this. It is owned by its great author/illustrator Yoshihiro Togashi and other rightful owners.

Chapter 1: Confession of a Prince

At the garden of the huge splendid palace of Reikai adorned by flowers that is not known to the human world the prince that is called Koenma-sama(in his teenage form) with his no. 1 ferry girl/personal messenger/close friend named Botan is currently engaged in a happy talk. Koenma temporarily left his works to his ogre subordinates. He just badly needed someone to confide on his feelings and he chose Botan, it really bothers him he can't have a decent sleep and even weaken his appetite , and that all can only be blame to a crazy little thing called "LOVE".

Botan's pink eyes widened as she intently stares her master and her mouth slightly opened while Koenma's face is flushing red can't able to catch her gaze.

''K-k-koenma-sama….." Botan made the first move to break the eerie silence between her and the prince 3 minutes ago. She smiled and free a long giggling shriek.

"Eeeeeeeeeee…..," she playfully punched Koenma's shoulder. "So, you have liked the ever mysterious Ayame for a very long time huh?! But you can't even tell her or attempt to make her feel your love, apparently it's only "pure business" and very formal on how you stare or talk to Ayame-chan, but no you actually loved her secretly," Botan said dreamily while hugging herself. Koenma desperately covered her mouth,

" Ssshhh…. Someone could overhear us," he hissed worriedly while turning his head around making sure no one is passing by. Botan just smirked and placed her hands on her hips, "Why not? It is the truth," she said innocently.

"But that's not an excused!" he exclaimed. "What if someone overhears us? It will ruined my plan, I want to keep it a secret between you and I until I muster enough courage to reveal my feelings to her," his cheeks blushed to his last words. Botan grinned widely.

"Okay, your wish is my command master! But shouldn't we tell it to Jorge? ( the ever loyal assistant of Koenma). Koenma frowned obviously didn't like the idea not because he has no trust to the blue ogre, but because he always seems bound to slip up.

"Why should we? I do not trust his rambling tongue"

"Okay, it's up to you ,but how or when should we start our plan?" they have planned to set a date bet. Koenma and Ayame and hopefully she'll accept it so Koenma could confess his feelings.

"Why are you asking me?! , what's the use of getting you as a bridge bet. me and her if you have to asked me what to do," he grumbled back to his usual bratty mood. Botan was not surprised to his sudden shifting of mood because she was so used to it.

"Mmm…. let's see," while pointing his forefinger under her chin looking up thinking deeply. And then she snapped, " Next week! Is that okay?! she exhilarated. He paused for a second and his face lighten up remembering something.

"What a coincidence! I nearly forgot, the annual Reikai Ball gonna be held also next week! He grabbed Botan's hands tightly. "You can help me to invite her to be my date on that ball, and then I will reveal my feelings to her!" he cried excitedly. And because of too much happiness he hugged his ferry girl very tight to the extent that she can no longer breathe.

"K-k-k-ko-e-e-e-en-m-ma-s-sa-m-ma…. I can't b-b-reathe," and after ages passed, Koenma at last gain some mercy to free her poor ferry girl.

"Hah!" she was panting heavily. But that didn't satisfy Koenma, he smothered Botan's cheeks with kisses. Botan is flushing red and so Koenma after he realizes what he was doing, awkward silence followed that. Their both eyes keep shuffling. Botan once again made the first move.

" By the way K-k-ko-enma-sama I gotta go," Botan bowed lowly before the prince. Koenma just nodded. Botan summoned her oar and then she mounted it and flies-off directing it to Ningenkai.

Koenma left dumbfounded, but a few minutes later his feet involuntarily directing him to the entrance of the Palace, but once again as he near the entrance something made him turned his head to Botan's disappearance point, and then a smile spread across his lips.
