Botan The Divinity of Happiness

Chapter 14 - I'm Not In Love, I Think

"Yusuke, go away! This is a girl talk." Keiko shouted at the door so he would go away while she was talking to Botan about her problem.

"Botan.. what's the matter?" Keiko cupped her chin and lifted it to her eye sight. "Is it something troubling you? Do you have to go away?"

Botan stuck out her bottom lip, "No. It's about K-" She kind of blushed, "Kurama-kun." She finished and smiled a small smile.

"Oh.. Maya?" Keiko looked to the ground. "Yeah, she kind of annoys me too to tell you the truth. Every since you left us, she's tried to replace you. It just wasn't you though." Keiko almost started to cry.

Botan hugged her, "Well, actually I'm sad that Maya and Kurama-kun broke up.. because now Kurama's heart broken and is mad at me because of me." Botan said lowly.

Keiko sat aside from Botan's gripping hug, "No Botan.. Maybe it was just a crisis they were suffering, to make it easier, they always seemed to be fusing."

Botan shook her head, "But this was because of me!" She shouted, "KEIKO!" She screamed, making Yusuke wonder what was going on.

"Botan! It's not because of you, and if it was, I'm sure he's not mad at you!" Keiko shouted as loud as Botan did to her.

"Keiko! It is because of me and that's final! And I'm sure he's mad at me! He won't talk to me!" Botan said and then screamed her head off with a squeal, making Yusuke run inside now.

"Hey! What is going on in here!? You two aren't fighting are you!?" Yusuke said, automatically taking Keiko's side. Botan studied the automatic side taking.

"Botan's arguing that Kurama is mad at her because she broke him and Maya up!" Keiko shouted and crossed her arms. "I told her it wasn't!"

"You were the one who broke them up?" Yusuke looked at her confused, then grinned. "Well aren't the fan girls gonna thank you now?" He laughed.

"Slap!" Keiko slapped him across the face for taking this so like it was hilarious. "Yusuke this is serious business!" Keiko turned to him. "She's going against herself for this!"

Without noticing, Botan had left the room quietly.

Keiko looked around sadly, "BOTAN!!?!??!?!" She shouted and fell to the ground crying. 'Now she's gonna think I'm mad at her too...' Keiko thought as Yusuke apologized and rubbed her shoulders.

At some library in town,

"Koenma-sama..." She called to him in her communication mirror quietly in the back of the library at a table alone.

"Hello Botan, what is the problem?" Koenma questioned her seriously, then popped into teen form. "Sorry, I was trying to persuade the ferry girls do something for me with my charming toddle looks." He laughed.

Botan didn't. "I want to come back to Rekai now..."

Koenma's eyes widened. "B-but! Why? I thought you would enjoy a day or two off to visit your friends..." Koenma said concerned.

"Friends." She whispered. "I want to never come back again, I think it's time to hire a new ferry girl for Yusuke and the Rekai Tantei...... "

At Kurama's house,

"Kasaan, why can't I ever enjoy a beautiful day with you? Why do you always have to leave me alone in such a dim and dirty, dark room? Alone.." He said in a way of reciting a poem to her.

She melted, "Oh Kurama-chan.. Gomen, but I have too many business things to do. I have to run arils ::Um, I think that's what it is:: today." She rubbed her son's cheek. "Ja.." She kissed his nose and left.

Kurama slopped down into the chair, like a balloon losing all the air through a small hole made by a pin. 'Today feels so empty.. and lonely..' He thought.

He walked into the kitchen and thought.. "Maya, of course. That's why I'm so empty and lonely." He reached for the phone and froze for a second.

Then it rang...

"O hayo?" He answered excited. Then his smile faded into a awful frown. "No, sorry Kazuyu.. she's not here right now." He answered with a choke.

"I know she's there, just put her on the phone Kurama!" His step father shouted. He hung the phone up, he couldn't stand another thing bringing him down.

Then he reached for the phone again.

Then some crept down the steps...

"Oh hello Hiei.. Do you always sneak through my house even when I'm not around?" He asked with a smile, finally someone who could bring his spirits up.

"For to get ice cream if you're not here." Hiei replied and went into the freezer. "By the way, I have to talk to you about something." He said eating the Rocky Mountain cream out of the box.

"Wow, Hiei.. starting a conversation, how exciting?" He said sitting at the counter as Hiei sat on the opposite side from him.

"Cut it cat." He said as Kurama shrugged. "Ok. I didn't really want to do this but, jeez I just can't stand a ferry girl so happy being so suicidal and sad.. then again..." He smirked.

Kurama raised a brow.

"Hn. But anyways, the ferry thinks you're mad at her because sh-" Hiei stopped when the phone rang.

"O hayo?" Kurama answered.

"Hello Kurama-kun." Keiko replied. "Do you where Botan is?" She asked sobbing.

"No, what is wrong Keiko?" Kurama asked concerned about his friend.

"Botan.. we just had a argument!" She started crying, "Aw baby don't cry." Yusuke said and hugged her. "Shut it Yusuke!" She shoved him off.

"Anyways, she thinks you are mad at her." Keiko said sadly.

Hiei interrupted, "Like I was saying Kurama, that baka ferry girl thinks you're pissed at her-"

"Because she made you and Maya break up." Hiei and Keiko said at the same time. Then Kurama hang up on her.. he didn't mean to be harsh but he didn't want to talk about Maya.

"I don't want to talk about it." Kurama got up and headed for the door.

"Hn! For Botan's sake!" He shouted and Kurama stopped at the door, "What the hell is going on?" Hiei asked.

Kurama sighed and left out the door anyway. Hiei shrugged and ate more ice cream.

At Keiko's house,

"Kurama!?" Keiko shouted on the phone. She looked at Yusuke with a pale face, "He hug up on me..." She gripped her hair. "I'M TIRED OF THIS!" She shouted and walked out the door.

Yusuke sat pissed. 'Why can't Keiko just stay out of things???' He thought as he decided to go for a walk to try to clear the stress out of his head.

He spotted Botan sloping on the walls of the library about to summon her oar. "Botan!" Yusuke shouted and ran over to her. "What's going on?" Yusuke asked pissed.

"You already know what's going on don't you!" She shouted and summoned her oar but held it like a broom because of the public.

"Yeah but Botan, can't you just keep Keiko out of these things!? She has her own problems to take care of." Yusuke shouted as Botan frowned at him. She made her oar disappear and started to walk down the sidewalk of the town silently.

"Where are you going??" Yusuke asked as she ignored him, "Wait a minute, gomen.." He said as he caught up with her. "I didn't mean to say it like that but Botan.. Keiko has other things to worry about."

"I know, so why don't you tell her to take her nose out of my business!" She shouted.

"What!?" Yusuke shouted. "No way am I going to say that. That will make her cry! What the heck's wrong with you? You're not the same Botan everyone knows. You're dim and cold..."

Botan narrowed her eyes, "Well meet the new me and get used to it." She said as she walked away from him before he could respond.

¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤

Somewhere in the park,

Keiko walked with her tear streaks still visible. 'I didn't mean for to get mad at Botan. I don't want her mad at me either. She's my best friend..' She thought as she walked under the tree shade along the path.

Kurama had been walking on the same path, the opposite way. 'Why does everyone have to know everything about my personals? Can't they just worry about their selves.' He thought.

"Crash!" They bumped heads and looked up at each other. Keiko kind of put on a small smile as Kurama hardened his eyes and walked around her without even saying anything.

"Kurama-kun?" She said in her miserable tone, "What's going on?" She asked in a whisper as he turned around and saw her eyes welling up.

"Oh I'm sorry Keiko-chan.. I didn't mean to ignore you, just thinking about a lot of things and not worrying about the outside." He said as he put his hand on her shoulder, "You're ok?"

"Of course I am." She said rubbing her forehead a bit. "But.. there's that problem that's not ok. Why did you hang up on me?" She asked.

Kurama turned to walk away again.

"Kurama!" She shouted. "You guys just can't keep walking away! Someone has to say something, be a man!"

He stopped, "Keiko.. don't you ever say anything about my manhood again." He said without looking at her. She sighed and gripped her shirt.

Then he saw some of his fan girls ahead. 'This is not the time for arguing.. I have to go.' He thought and turned the other way to walk back where he was coming from.

"Gomen Kurama, but I'm just trying to help my best friend." She said with a sob. "She has this situation so stressed out.. I'm stressed too. Onegai Kurama-kun!" She said and hugged him tightly.

Kurama sighed and gave her a hug back. "Gomen Keiko-chan.. Lets go to a place where we could be alone." He said and walked along side of her.

They walked to a nearby pit stop. not a very good private place but was the closest near, plus there was no fan girls near.

Keiko sat waiting for him to speak up.

"I.. I hung up because I am mad at Botan." He said playing with his hands. "She came in last night just when Maya and I were making up and.. Maya thought she was sleeping with me."

He ordered them some cocoa. "Maya goes running off and Botan.. I do not know, and I do not care." He said as the man brought them their order.

Keiko looked down at the saucer plate with the cocoa cup sitting on top of it. "But.. I care about Botan. And she won't talk to me till I prove you're not mad at her." She looked up at Kurama.

Kurama chewed on his lip, "The truth is.." He sighed and sat up in his chair, still staring at his cocoa. "I love Botan-- love her more than a friend and I just can't-" He stopped and dropped his shoulders.

Keiko tilted her head, "Then why don't you tell her?" She asked.

"That's the problem, I'm afraid to." He replied. "I'm not sure if I love her really.. or is she loves me. Maybe she's just something desirable, what if I use her?" He asked ashamed of his evil side.

"Aw Kurama-kun, I know she loves you. I'm sure you love her too. If I were a guy, she would be the girl of my life. I know I sound kind of crazy saying that." She chuckled.

"Yeah.. Maybe I do." He said and looked up at her, "I have to tell her! Where is she?" He got up, leaving his cocoa.

"I do not know." She frowned. "Last time I saw her is when she stomped out of my house mad after the argument." She sighed.

Kurama lowered his head. "I have to go Keiko-chan, ja." He said and ordered her some donut sticks; then left.

In Rekai at Koenma's office,

"Botan are you sure about this? You know you don't have to do this." Koenma said looking into her sad purple eyes.

"I'm sure..." She whispered and he reassigned a new ferry girl just like that.

"Botan, you are now a ningen." He said, "For a gift, because you're my favorite ferry girl, and my friend-" He blushed, "I won't delete your memory." He smiled.

Botan blinked with tears, "Oh thank you Koenma-sama!" She hugged him, then she felt her head being coerced by her inner self, leaning towards his.

They kissed.. Botan feeling confused and Koenma feeling as if he had finally gotten his kiss from a crush. Botan pulled apart. "Koenma-sama?" She asked confused.

"Gomen Botan.. I'm going to miss you, if you ever regret being a ningen, you'll still have your communication mirror.. just give me a signal." He let loose of her,

"That was just a kiss for goodbye." He smiled cheerfully. She returned the smile, thinking there were going to be a triangle forming.

"Arigatou Koenma-sama..." She said and walked out of his office doors to Ninghenkai.

A/n: Botan now officially a human! That's great but what if she don't tell Yusuke and the others who her new identity is. Will Kurama ever find Botan? What if her new identity turns out not to be his type? And will Botan stop pushing everyone away? Review!
