Backwards Affairs
Chapter 3: Secret Loving
By Miko Jaganshi
Botan edged slowly into the office. "Lord Koenma? You wanted to see me?" she played coyly with a stray strand of her light blue hair.
The swivel chair behind the enormous desk in front of her turned around revealing none other.
"Yes... a mildly seductive look appeared on his face. A sort of luring, challenging grin with raised eyebrows expression.
She glanced around nervously fingering the sleeves of her kimono. "Not now, Koenma Sir. If anyone found out...I mean..." Botan tried her best to discourage their very naughty and secretive affair. But sometimes she just couldn't help herself. "Last time I got lipstick on your shirt."
He put a slim finger to his lip, tapping, tapping... "True....very true... he then closed his eyes and smiled as much as one could with a passifier in the mouth. "You'll just have to be more careful next time!"
"Koenma" she started looking very distressed.
He spun back around and flicked his wrist in the air. "Ah ah ah! I'm busy. I just wanted to give you this!" he slapped his hand down on the desk and forcefully pushed an envelope across it addressed to a certain "Miss Botan."
"It came this morning, but from whom, I don't know."
She found her eyes suddenly widening and she reached out a trembling hand to lift up the strange letter. "Um...okay...weird.." the ferry girl licked her finger and pulled up the flap on the back of the envelope. (Who could it be from? I'd love to flatter myself, really...but no one sends me letters...especially to Miss Botan..)
Koenma, still at his desk, found himself watching her, every second resisting his urge to pull her down under his desk right there. One lone bead of sweat trailed down his face, and he wiped it away with his handkerchief before it could drop to the floor. Her eyes moved left, right, down as she took in what she was reading.
"It's an invitation to a........special occasion." Botan calmly raised her gaze. "Did you receive one, Lord?" her eyebrows rose.
He waved a letter in the air with an emotionless expression on his face. He used this face when he was either extremely excited, or extremely frightened. "Hm."
With a high pitched screech, Botan's face exploded with happiness. "Well as you know I'm a party animal!!" she squeaked pointing her index fingers down underneath her top lip, imitating fangs. Then she abruptly threw her hands in the air. "Oh, I can't wait!! Floolwing that," she rushed out mumbling something along the lines of what will I wear?
Koenma sighed and leaned his pale face on one slender arm on his desk. "I lose many beautiful women that way...."
