Author's note: Hey, another chapter's up! Please congratulate me. (I know,
I know, I took so long again, sorry!)
Disclaimers: Not again?!
Kurama was on his study table, concentrating at the homework their professor had given them when a figure suddenly appeared form out of nowhere.
"Hiei," Kurama acknowledged, not looking at him.
"You're a fool to let her go like that," Hiei said, standing near the window, obviously talking about Botan.
"The two months vacation Koenma had given her is almost up, in another week, she'll go back in Reikai," Kurama said, trying to avoid the conversation as much as he could. It hurts so much to know that for her, all of these are just a game and nothing else.
"Hn. You think I believe that? I'm no baka, kitsune, you are. I've watched you, watched you be ruled and controlled by a weak ningen emotion called love," Hiei said arrogantly, knowing full well that his every word cut through his friend's heart like his katana would.
"And what about you, Hiei? Haven't you loved Yukina, too? Don't get too smart on me and tell me I've gotten weak just because I know how to love, because I've seen the way your love for Yukina broke your concentration whenever Kuwabara gets near her and you can't even tell her that you're her brother," Kurama bellowed, his eyes blazing with anger, almost turning gold, the youko in him wanting to come out.
Like magic, Hiei's arrogant expression disappeared, his anguish showed when he looked at Kurama. "That's why don't be like me. Don't ever let her go, tell her how you feel Kurama. Or you'll experience the same pain I'm going through right now. Don't be a fool. Be smarter than me, I know you are, kitsune," he said and with that, he was gone.

"Botan-chan, I think you need to rest now. He's not coming anymore," Yukina said worriedly. It was already past eleven o' clock and still Botan's waiting at the porch for Kurama.
"Arigatou, Yukina-chan, but Kurama-kun is coming. He promised me," Botan said and smiled weakly at her, her eyes red from crying. Don't stood me up, Kurama-kun, I know you'll come, she desperately thought.
Yukina sighed. She wanted to help Botan out. She hadn't eaten any dinner, saying that she and Kurama will eat dinner together. "Botan-chan, it's eleven already," she said patiently. She knows how much Botan loves Kurama; she can see it in her eyes whenever Kurama's around.
"He'll come, I know he would. He did come last week and the week before that, right?" Botan asked. She's crying again, Yukina thought. No doubt about it, Botan will surely get a headache tomorrow.
"Botan-chan-"
Botan cried and cried. Yukina hugged her and soothed her hair. "Come on, Botan-chan, you should rest now. I'll wake you up if he comes looking for you. You need lots of strength to face another round of Chemistry, ne?"
"Right, I need to rest now. Kurama-kun will get mad at me if I fall asleep during the tutorials. That's not proper at all," she mumbled, stood up, greeted Yukina goodnight and went to her room. The hunger and headache at the same time made her thinking a little hazy.
Yukina sighed. Getting Botan to bed is tough enough, she didn't know what she would tell her when she wakes up tomorrow morning and found out Kurama didn't come. The mess Kurama made proved to be difficult all right.
*-*
"Shuichi-chan, am I glad to see you!" Yuri greeted cheerfully as she walked towards him.
Kurama inwardly groaned. What now? "Konnichiwa, Yuri-san," he greeted politely, putting on as much enthusiasm on it as possible.
"I've got some great news for you Shuichi-chan," Yuri said, obviously not affected by Kurama's out of focusness.
Kurama pretended to listen to her but soon was lost when he spotted Botan walking towards his direction, her head bowed. Kurama wanted to go to her when a figure appeared from out of nowhere and talk to Botan. He saw Botan shrugged, give his books to the stranger and continue walking, her head still bowed down. "Shimato," he whispered.
When Botan was just a couple of feet away from him, she gazed up and met Kurama's green eyes staring at her. Not the cold ones, but not and welcoming either, very indifferent, like she was a stranger to him.
"Shu-chan," Botan started, walking towards him. Pleading with her eyes that he talk to her.
"Yuri-san, I guess I better get going. I've got some more important things to attend to," Kurama said, not taking her gaze off Botan. He was blind with jealousy and anger now that Botan surely didn't have a hard time finding substitute for him. He didn't even notice the redness and swelling of her eyes from crying all night last night.
Botan again bowed her head when Kurama left for Yuri and Kintaru might see the tears forming in her eyes. She hurriedly gets the books she needed for her next class, put the books Kintaru was holding for her on her locker and walked away without a word.
"I've done what you wanted me to do, Yuri-san. They're through," Kintaru said, still looking at Botan making her way to pass the crowded hallway.
"Not just yet, Kintaru-kun. You want her, right?" Yuri said, an evil smile showing, her sweet expression gone.
"It doesn't concern you," Kintaru said, sighing. Ever since he laid his eyes on Botan, he'd always thought of her. He wants her, all right.
"Of course, it does, baka! If Shuichi-chan loves her that much, no doubt about it, they'll get back together. But that won't happen because you wouldn't allow it, now, do you?" Yuri said knowingly, her eyes gleaming.
"I'll take care of it," Kintaru said, giving up at last. Besides, there's no other way to have Botan than the hard way. He left Yuri standing there, her evil smile plastered on his mind.
Author's note: Ooooohhh, what do you think will happen? I'm feeling evil tonight, hahaha!
