Disclaimers: Here I go, again. I don't own the Yu Yu Hakushu characters except for Yuri Misato.

"What was that all about?" Botan asked when she finally got Kurama alone.

"What do you mean?" Kurama asked innocently.

"What do you mean what do I mean?" Botan asked then glared at Kurama so coldly, that if looks could really really kill, he'd be 100% sure dead by now.

"Come on, I thought you agreed to do it. You even hugged me back, remember?" he gloated.

Botan blushed furiously. Does he have to remind me about it? "Very well, I agreed to play your games, Kurama-kun, but you didn't have to announce to the whole university that I am your
girlfriend," she said rather stubbornly.

"Why not? As their model student, they have the right to know who my chosen one is, right?" Kurama boasted then winked at Botan.
"Oh, you're impossible!" she gave up, this man surely have no problem with self-esteem. "If you find me dead tomorrow morning, I'm as sure as hell, one of your fan club members did it. Or maybe that Yuri girl will," she said angrily.

Kurama had never seen Botan this angry before and it amuses him. He tried pricking her temper once more, "You aren't jealous of the Yuri, are you?" Kurama asked and grinned mischievously at her.

"Baka!" Botan shouted at the top of her voice, nearby students began looking at them curiously. I mean really curiously. I mean really curiously since not an hour ago had passed since the big
announcement of Shuichi Minamino's girlfriend was heard.

"Koishii, I'm sorry. Okay, I just won't study tonight so as not to cancel our date," Kurama said, secretly eyeing the nearby students who are surely listening to them.

"What the-?!"

Before Botan could react any further, Kurama had already wrapped his arms around he waist. He pressed his lips to her ear and pretended to kiss her, but instead whispered, "Please, Botan, be my friend," he pleaded.

Botan sighed. What can she do? Kurama is really a nice friend. Besides, she has nothing to do with her spare time. She pressed herself closer to Kurama and said, loud enough for the nearby
students to hear," I'm sorry, too. I didn't mean to be unreasonable, koishii."

"Then it's a date tonight at seven?" Kurama asked as he loosened his hug on her to look at her eyes. Oh my, her eyes are making it impossible to think, he thought. Add the way she say "koishii" and "Shu-chan" , tingly sensations flowed up his spine.

Botan stared at him in wonder. "Is that for real?" she whispered.

"Yeah, why, haven't been on a date before?" Kurama asked teasingly.

"Of course, I had, I was just not sure if you're only saying that for effect," she explained, her temper suddenly rising again.

Kurama just winked at her in response.

"Baka." Botan thought, but so kawaii! she couldn't help but add.

"Two months day off, ningenkai time?" Koenma repeated Botan's request absently. "That would be a month off in Reikai, are you sure about it, Botan?" Koenma asked the deity for the tenth time.

"Hai, Koenma-sama, I just can't say no to Kurama-kun," she said, not meeting his eyes. She knows her request is unreasonable but if she will act as Kurama's girlfriend, she have to have Koenma's permission.

"So, you are expecting that I won't be able to say no to you, too?" Koenma asked, his eyes observing Botan's each and every move.

Botan blushed, Koenma-sama sounds like an interrogating policeman, she thought. But still, there's a chance that he'll approve of my request. From her experience, I Koenma-sama doesn't
have any plans of entertaining her day-off requests, he usually tell her to get back to work.

"Very well," Koenma's voice shattered Botan's thoughts. "I'm impressed with your past works and the Reikai tantei wouldn't be this successful without the wit and smartness of Kurama so I'm granting this request just this once," Koenma said finally, then signed the petition letter Botan handed him a while ago. He turned to his computer and keyed in some documents. A minute later, a set of paper was handed to Botan.

"You're going to be a ningen for two months, ningenkai time, and no more powers' okay? You'll act as an exchange student from the neighboring university of Kurama's campus, all clear?" Koenma said bossily.

"Hai, arigatou, Koenma-sama," Botan said gratefully and bowed before him before turning around to leave.

----------------------------

"Kurama-kun!" Yukina said in obvious surprise that night when she opened the door of Genkai's temple.

"Konbanwa, Yukina-san, is Botan here?" Kurama asked politely as he always does and smiled brightly at her.. Kurama will surely get a second glance with his blue polo shirt, khaki slacks and a jacket.

"Hai, please come in. Botan-chan told me she'll be out soon," Yukina said shyly and gave way for Kurama to enter the temple.

"Arigatou," Kurama said and sat on the nearest stool he saw. Tonight is the night, he can't help but think as he watch Yukina enter on what he thought was Botan's bedroom. The first real date the two of us will have, he sighed happily.

Before Kurama went to Genkai's temple, another ferry girl, Hinageshi, visited his house to give him the message of Koenma for him. It states that Koenma had given Botan two months off, Ningenkai time, to help Kurama with his dilemma. She will stay in Genkai's temple for the whole time and act as an exchange student in Kurama's university. At first, Kurama couldn't believe his luck. He thought Koenma would be the last person to help him out, considering he thought Koenma likes Botan very much. He thought Koenma was a rival.

"Gomen nasai, Kurama-kun, did you wait long?" Botan said, interrupting his line of thought.

Kurama looked at her, his jaw dropped and swallowed not once but twice. Right in front of him was Botan alright, but a devastatingly gorgeous, jaw dropping and mouth-watering one.

He looked at her from head to toe very slowly. Botan's hair hung loose and blew that locks of her blue hair hung around her pretty face with a touch of very light make up, he can hardly detect if it was really there. and her dress, if she looked pretty in that sundress she wore just yesterday in school, tonight, she had gone all the way in enhancing her beauty and figure.

She wore a pale blue, spaghetti-strapped dress that reached just above her midthighs. Her stacked heel of the same color added figure to her already shapely feet. Her few jewelries, consisted of a cross pendant on her neck, pair of gold earrings with matching bracelet, a silver watch and a ring that represents that she's a reikai ferry girl.

"You said semi-formal right?" Botan asked when she saw the intense look of Kurama on her. She blushed furiously and refused to look in his eyes.

Kurama could only nod, his mouth slightly open with obvious admiration. Inari-sama, how I want her in my arms, he thought and looked at her discomfort in amusement.

"Do I look alright?" Botan asked again, then fidgeted. Kurama had always been nice and polite to her, even if he can sometimes drive her crazy, and staring is not one of his manners. Definitely not staring! But now, how she wish there will be a heavenly distraction to swallow her alive, but hey- I'm the heavenly distraction here, she thought as she looked at her feet.

"You look perfect, was my mouth hanging open?" Kurama asked and smiled politely at her. He tried to get hold of his own composure because he knows Botan is feeling uncomfortable with the way he was looking at her.

"Yeah," she said and smiled shyly.

"Well, then, let's go?" Kurama said and stood up. He put his arms around Botan's shoulders as they went out. He just couldn't help touching her...
