"Where are you, Kurama-kun?" Botan mumbled as she paced back and forth outside the school's building. It's already dark outside and she assumed it was already seven o' clock and still she haven't seen Kurama yet. Early that day, she promised herself she would talk to him before she went back in Reikai tomorrow afternoon. "But where the hell did you go?' her mind screamed.
Just then, she heard footsteps behind her. "Shu-chan," she called out.
"Iie, Botan-san. It's me, Kintaru. It's already late, what are you doing here?" Kintaru asked, walking towards her and looking at her straight in the eyes.
"I'm looking for Shu-chan. Have you seen him?" she asked nervously. Kintaru is giving her the creeps and now, being alone with him at night makes it worse.
"Ah, Minamino. He already left. Sorta emergency, I guess," Kintaru explained.
"Oh," she said, disappointment plain in her voice. "I guess I better get going now."
"Matte, I'll give you a lift. It'll be faster for you to get home, then," he suggested, already ushering Botan in his car.
"Arigatou, Kintaru-san," Botan said meekly before entering his car.
They reached Genkai's temple and both of them got out of the car to walk up the stairs to reach the main temple. When they reached the front yard, Botan quickly noticed the darkness and suddenly remembered that Genkai and Yukina went some place and will be back very late.
Kintaru also noticed the darkness and smiled to himself. This will be as easy as taking a candy from a baby, he thought.
"Kintaru-san,"
"Are you alone, Botan-san?" he couldn't help but ask to be sure, as he took a step forward.
"Hai, Kintaru-kun"
Kintaru didn't let her finish what she was about to say. He quickly pressed her lips to his and kissed her roughly. He felt her struggle but he grabbed hold of her arms to hold her in place.
Botan's mind is screaming, she knows she's in great danger but she didn't know what to do. She struggled hard and finally bit his tongue when it entered her mouth. He cursed loudly, leaving her mouth free for a while when she screamed.
Kurama was walking towards Genkai's temple when he saw kintaru's car parked near the stairs leading to the temple. He decided not to go anymore for fear of seeing Kintaru and Botan again. But his instincts told him something else. He was walking upstairs when he heard a bloodcurdling scream.
"Kurama-kunn! Help me, Kami-sama!" Botan screamed as loud as she can, though she knows no one can hear her. Not in a remote and isolated place like this.
"Shut up, you bitch! Look what you've done!" Kintaru said angrily, grabbing her hard by the hair. "You think your Romeo will help you now, huh?" he said and snarled at her.
Botan was weeping now, out of terror or pity, she doesn't know. Kintaru is right, he's not coming anymore. He hates me, she thought sadly while looking at Kintaru and dread what was to come.
Kurama saw what he needed to see. Botan was crying while Kintaru was holding her too roughly on her hair. Her hair which he ran his hands through a hundred of times when they were together. The soft hair that only belonged to him and his touch. He shook in rage just seeing someone else holding it with roughness.
Kintaru looked at the beautiful woman in his arms and thought of kissing her again. However, his lips never touched her. He felt someone had thrown him a stone though small in size, hurt like hell and felt it entered his chest. He turned around to find himself looking directly at Shuichi's emerald eyes, gleaming with anger.
Kintaru, shocked with the anger he saw in Shuichi's eyes, never realized he loosened his grip on Botan enough for her to let out of his grasp to hug Kurama as tight as she could.
"Don't you ever touch her again," Kurama said in the coldest voice Botan had ever heard, she shivered. If she trembled when he spoke to her that day when she just met Kintaru, his voice now is ten times colder than that. Only, she couldn't fell fear, now that she was holding him close to her. Her only hope is that he would hug her back.
Kintaru backed down and swallowed. He never thought the sweet Minamino Shuichi could be this frightening when he got mad. He instinctively took a step backward.
"And the punishment for touching her, DDIIIEEEE!!!" Kurama roared and before Kintaru could move another step, sprout of leaves came out from his ears before he die.
Botan saw the life out of Kintaru vanish but she could not feel any guilt or terror from Kurama. She let him go when he stepped forward to inspect Kintaru's body.
"Bastard!"
"Kurama-kun?" Botan called out, not knowing what to say in the situation they're in.
"People like him are better off dead," he said calmly without even looking at her.
"I know, demo, why are you here?" she asked, her voice hopeful. She wanted to know if he came here to talk to her and patch things up.
"Genkai-sama asked me to wait for you til you're already safe inside. I did what I came for, I must go now," Kurama said still not looking at her while he walk away from her.
"Matte, Kurama-kun, please don't go just yet. I need to talk to you," Botan pleaded, walking towards him and stopping only when he was a few feet away from him. She quickly noticed his back, so rogid, so tense.
"There's nothing left to say," Kurama said, his voice not indicating even the slightest emotions, not even stopping from walking.
Botan has gone mad. Nothing left to say? I've got hundreds of words to say to that baka kitsune, she mused angrily. She stomped her foot hard and shouted. "If you hate me that much, you should just have let me get raped by him!"
Kurama suddenly stopped walking. Botan's heart beats wildly as if she'd run a few miles. His words struck in her heart. "Take care of yourself, Botan-chan, I don't want to see you hurt or crying again," then disappeared into the darkness.
Botan smiled sadly as the tears fall from her eyes, "Ai shiteru, Kurama-kun," she said softly, before heading to the temple. There, she cried her heart out, ready to leave Kurama with her broken heart.
