Author's Note: I know I'm like… five days late (I'll have to make up for that) but my computer broke… I don't know what the hell happened but it just went blank a few days ago. But the day before yesterday we found out it was just the monitor and not the CPU… so all my work was saved (yay!) But we had to go buy a new monitor…
But anyway I'll be trying to get chapters 11-15 up really soon… but don't hold your breath. Oh, and Kuronue might be a bit OOC
Chapter Eleven: Murphy's Law
Reader's P.O.V.
There were few things in the world Botan hated; and I mean really hate. Like, stab the thing with a sharp object until it ceases to move forever hate. Currently at the top of that short list was Murphy's Law. Now, Botan was not as innocent and dense as she acted; in fact, she was quite observant.
She was the first one to figure out that Kurama and Hiei were having a secret relationship.
But Botan did not have very good foresight, therefore she never made back-up plans in case she encountered said Law.
But never fear because Kurama always had plans. Except when it came to love. Apparently he was the woman in the relationship because when Botan had come pleading with Kurama to help her woo a secret crush, he just stared at her blankly.
With the fact that Hiei had seduced Kurama, Botan figured there would be no way to get the devilishly handsome demon by the name of Kuronue to notice her.
But Botan was NOT one to give up. In fact, every time she saw the bat demon (who was quite content to live out his eternity as a spirit wondering the worlds), she would flirt shamelessly with him.
But Kuronue either was thick in the head and thought she was just being friendly, or he was gay. Botan wasn't sure which was worst.
Still, after brutally murdering her pride, she finally went to Hiei for help. He told her that men liked a women who played hard to get.
So Botan cleverly said NOTHING to the bat demon when she saw him. Not even a wave. But when Kuronue never responded, she went back to Hiei for more advice (all the while praying Murphy's Law wasn't feeling well). He told her to act desperate and throw herself at him.
She did so, only it looked like she just tripped and Kuronue merely patted her on the head, saying she needed to be more careful.
She mulled over the problem; Kuronue was a bloody thief! Shouldn't they be able to see through subtle hints? Botan decided that subtlety was dead and nothing short of just snogging the lad until his lips turned blue would show how much she liked him.
Of course, Botan wasn't totally opposed to the idea. Hell, if nothing else worked, what could go wrong then?
And so determined face on, Botan marched her way to the park Kuronue spent a majority of his time in at the Human World. Locating said demon was easy, now if only her nerves would stop trying to leave.
"Um… Kuronue…" He turned around, indigo eyes sparkling as if he had been waiting for her. "I just… uh… erm…" She was about to abort the entire thing and make a dash for it, but Kuronue had grabbed her arm and pulled her forward…
Snogging her until her lips turned… blue…
"I'm sorry if you're hurt Botan, but it's just been taking so long to tell you that I like you. What with you falling all the time, then ignoring me, then you started hanging out with that fellow Hiei, I just about thought I'd loose you." Botan's mouth gaped open. "I couldn't think of any other way to tell you; since I first saw you, you seemed a bit oblivious!"
Murphy's Law could be a bitch, Botan knew, but some where out there, Irony was taking back its title as Botan's top tormentor…
