Author's note: Readers, readers, (shaking my head) I've got some
clarification to make for the last chapter. I just want to tell you all
that Kurama and Botan are not yet officially a couple so I can't make Botan
something like resisting Kurama's charms like one of the review I've
received. Yes, they might think they are a couple but only in their minds,
there are no words spoken so their relationship is not yet official, eerr,
okay, so I'm just defending my pathetic story (hehe!) but anyway, here's
the next chapter and I don't think this chapter is really good, I think
Kurama's overacting in here. Also, I'm sorry if this took so long, and
thabks for those who reviewed!
Disclaimers: Kintaru Misato is mine and that's all.
"Oi, Keiko, Kura- I mean, Shuichi's here, one more ramen please," Yuusuke shouted over the ramen shop when Kurama joined Yuusuke and Kuwabara at the table.
"Hai, here you go, Kurama-san," Keiko said as she served the food to him.
"Arigatou, Keiko-san, how are you today?" Kurama asked as he broke the chopsticks in half and began to eat.
"I'm fine. How about you and Botan-chan?" Keiko asked. She had heard from Yuusuke the game Botan and Kurama are pulling and secretly hopes it will not be long before they end up together. It'll be nice for Kurama to have a girl of his own, and Botan would surely be perfect for him, she thought.
Kurama's face lit up at the mention of Botan's name. He went to Genkai's temple last night just as Botan had asked him and they had so much fun, all the while as Kurama stole kisses from her she thought was more than necessary. They studied chemistry alright…
"She's doing great. Why don't you visit her some time at Genkai's temple. She's staying there with Genkai-sama and Yukina-san," Kurama suggested.
"Oi, Keiko, why don't we do just that. I want to see Yukina-chan, too," Kuwabara said, joining the conversation at the mention of Yukina's name.
"I'm sure Hiei would just love that," Yuusuke whispered in Kurama's ear which sent both of them snickering.
"Keiko-san, another ramen please," a customer said and caught their attention.
"Gotta get going, the place's hopping. I'll visit her when I can," she said and stood up to serve more food to the customer.

They had just finished eating and was on their way to the arcade when five men tried to pick a fight on them.
"Well, well, if it wasn't the famous Minamino of Daigaku University," the leader of the group said with a sneer.
"I don't believe I know you," Kurama said politely at them. He doesn't want any trouble now that they know who he is.
Just then, Hiei came down from the tree above them. Obviously, he wants to know what's going to happen between the two groups. "You're a fool, kitsune. Why are you so polite to them when you know damn well what they want from you?"
"Yoshi, a fight will be good today. Don't you think so, Kuwabara?" Yuusuke said, already cracking his knuckles, a sign that he's warming up for the fight.
Before Kuwabara could answer, Kurama already held a hand to stop them. "Yameru! I'll take care of them," he said in a calm voice.
"You? You must be kidding. I've always hated you for stealing so much attention for yourself but you've gone too far when you made my sister cry when she found out you already have a girlfriend. That brainless, pretty little blue girl of yours. And now, you must pay dearly for it," the guy said angrily, his eyes wild with rage.
"Think again, dumb ass. You don't know who you are up against," Kurama snarled, his calmness gone. No one insults my Botan and gets away with it, he vowed.
"You're scaring me, pretty boy? What now, afraid to ruin that beautiful face of yours?" the leader goaded.
Before he knew it, Kurama had already punched him and he was already down on his knees. Not only that, his friends are, too. He underestimated Shuichi's fighting ability, thinking he's a polite one and didn't know anything about a brawl. He forgot to take credit who his friends are. Urameshi and Kazuma are known troublemakers. And who is this little gothic guy? Never mind about that, he looks dangerous as well.
"Shuichi, why'd you finish them all off? We want some practice, too, you know?" Yuusuke said, his fist still curled into a ball.
"No one insults my Botan and gets away with it," Kurama said calmly and that was all the leader of the group heard before he passed out.
The audience who had witnessed the fight and who know who the involved persons were, began spreading rumor like wildfire. They didn't expect Shuichi can fight like that. They'd always thought he's a little feminine in nature who love peaceful afternoons for reading. They were wrong. For the girl he loves, he could no doubt kill a man.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
"Stupid rain," Botan grumbled as she folded her umbrella. "Why does it have to rain now?"
Botan continued to grumble about how bad timing the rain is when she was about to meet Kurama outside, she didn't notice a guy sneak up behind her.
"What's your name?" a cool voice came from behind her and when she turn around, came face to face with a tall man, about Kurama's height, with the bluest eyes she had ever seen.
"Me? I'm Botan Kurama, and you?" she asked nervously. She couldn't seem to look at the stranger's piercing eyes.
"I'm Kintaru Shimato. Nice to meet you," he said then offered a hand.
"Hai," Botan said and reluctantly shook it. I guess it would be impolite to turn him down. Kurama-kun would surely give me a good two-hour lecture on proper manners, she mused.
"What's so funny?" Kintaru asked, frowning.
"Huh?"
"You were smiling," Kintaru said, smiling warmly. "I guess you thought I was funny, huh?"
"Iie, I just remembered something," Botan said, frantically shaking her head. I guess smiling without reason is impolite, too, she thought.
"Are you new around here? This is the first time I've noticed you," Kintaru asked looking directly at her eyes. They were very purple, so beautiful.
Botan shivered and turned away from his gaze. "Hai, Kintaru-san, I'm just an exchange student," she said. Weird, but she is afraid of him though he seems really friendly. "I really should go—ouch!"
Botan slipped but before she could reach the ground, Kintaru was already holding her tight, she bagan to feel uncomfortable. "You should be careful, its slippery down here," he whispered, still wouldn't let her go.
Just then, Kurama walked by and what did he saw? Botan in the arms of Kintaru Shimato! His Botan in the arms of another man! His Botan! He couldn't believe his eyes, something inside him suddenly snapped.
He tried to walk passed them and pretended not to notice but his damn red hair is noticeable alright.
"Shu-chan," Botan called out, disentangling herself from Kintaru's arms.
"Botan," Kurama said coldly, Botan began to shiver again. "I can see you have a company."
Botan fidgeted. She tried to walk towards him, but when she took a step forward and he took a step back while looking at her coldly, she remained in her place. "Shu-chan, this is Kin-"
"I know damn well who he is, Botan," Kurama snapped.
Botan stepped backward, shocked by Kurama's harshness. She'd never seen him this cold before. His coldness, if compared to Hiei would make Hiei such a darling. Tears began to form in her eyes.
"Come on, Minamino, how could you snap at her like that?" Kintaru asked, looking at her then back to Kurama.
"Do stay out of this, Shimato, I mean it," Kurama glared, the same glare he used whenever faced with enemies. He doesn't seem a bit calm now.
"Alright, alright, I'll go now. See you again, Botan-san," Kintaru said before he left the two of them. He had heard what happened at the fight two weks ago and doesn't like it one bit to be beaten by Minamino.
When Kintaru was already out of sight, Kurama began walking again, intending to leave Botan behind. How could she, after all that happened between us?
"Kurama-kun?" Botan asked, finally calling him with his real name now that they were alone.
"What do you want?" Kurama asked, still using the same, cold voice.
"Nothing-"
When Kurama resumed walking, Botan panicked. Ican't just let him get away, she thought. "Will you come tomorrow night at Genkai's? I still need help in Chemistry," she asked meekly, hoping Kurama wouldn't be that mad at her to forget all about his promise.
Kurama stopped, his back on her, and said, "Why don't you ask your other boyfriend to help you?" he asked then walked away.
My other what? Botan was enraged. Kintaru-san is not my boyfriend, Kurama-kun. He will never be, because it will always be you, she wanted to say, but the one she wanted to talk to is long gone now. Her knees suddenly turned jelly, she sank down and the tears that threatened to fall a while ago was now falling freely like cascades of water from a waterfall.
Author's note: Aaawwww, how sad, isn't it? I'm so bad, right? Well, it's not done yet. Watch out for the next chapter for more of this sad things I can do for the two of them, hehehe! Ja!
