First I wanna thank everyone who reviewed, and caught my stupid mistakes!! I can't believe I spelled Hiei's name wrong!! I'm such an idiot sometimes… but that's ok. Well I'm not gonna forget to mention that I don't own YYH or any of the characters. And I wanna thank Kurama_Botan_Lover again for giving me an idea to work off of, and KitsuneGirl too for also giving me an idea. Thanx bunches and bunches!! It really means a lot. Enough of my blabbering, time to get working on the story. Enjoy, and don't forget to read and review.

Everyone was still at Kurama's house, shocked at Botan's sudden outburst. After a few minutes of staring at the window that Botan had flown out of, everyone turned their attention to Kurama, but he seemed not to notice, and just continued to mumble to himself with a grin on his face. Shiori was the first one to regain her composure.
"Kurama? Are you ok?" "She loves me. She actually loves me." "Yes well she did say that didn't she?" "Okaasan, you don't know what this means to me. If she loves me, then-" Koenma chose this exact moment to cut in "Then she's going to have to forget you. Kurama, what kind of life could you give her? You're an
ex-thief. And you know the rules. I'm going to take my leave now. Goodbye everyone." Koenma left and everyone else decided it would probably be best to leave also. Keiko had to drag Yusuke, while Kuwabara eagerly followed Yukina. Shizuru and Heie were the last to leave.
After everyone was gone, Shiori began to talk to Kurama. "What's wrong Kurama? I've never seen you so sad before?" "Okaasan, I love her! I've loved her since I first laid eyes on her, and now that I know she feels the same way about me. There has to be something else I can do. I have to have her by my side. I can't deny it." "Oh" Shiori was sure that her that her son thought the
Blue-haired girl beautiful, but she never truly understood the depth of his affections for her. "Oh Kurama, if she loves you as much as you love her, and I'm sure she does, then she'll find a way to be with you. After all, she does come over sometimes even though she should be ferrying souls, am I right?" "Yes Okaasan. I still can't believe she let that slip around you." "Well, if she hadn't let it slip, then I would never have known about Reikai, and demons, and Heie's third eye, and you being a demon, and all that important stuff that I should know about." "True. But Koenma wasn't too happy about her telling." "It seems like he's always on her case, if not for one thing, then for another." "That's true." Shiori and Kurama shared a good laugh.

Meanwhile in Reikai…
George runs into a tear-faced Botan. "Botan, Koenma need to speak with you now." "Ok, thank-you George." Botan went and met up with Koenma. "You needed to speak with me?" "Yes, Botan. I was talking to Ayame, and I've started to see things from a different perspective. But I need you to answer some questions for me, ok?" "Ok." "Do you truly love Kurama?" "Yes." "How much?" "With all my heart. Koenma, what is this about?" "Ayame and I were talking earlier and she made me realize I was only hurting you by keeping you away from Kurama, but you know the rules." "So what are saying?" "I want you to think it over, and talk to Kurama about this. But if you two truly love each other as much as everyone says you do, then I'm not going to be the one to stop you from being together. I would allow you to live as a ningen. I'll ask for your answer at the end of the week. Think about it until then." Botan got really excited "Do you really mean it Koenma?!" Koenma merely nodded and Botan ran out to go talk to Kurama. Ayame walked in "See, Koenma, that wasn't so hard now was it?" "Ayame?" "Don't worry Koenma. I'm sure you'll find the right one for you." And with that Ayame walked away, but not before giving Koenma a wink. "Ayame just what do you mean?"

Back in Ningenkai, at Kurama's house…
Botan rang the doorbell and patiently waited until Kurama opened the door. Botan immediately jumped into his arms. Kurama kissed her. "Botan what are you doing here? I thought you were getting married to Koenma?" "Nope!!" Botan then related the entire story to Kurama. "Botan?" "Yes Kurama?" "When you become human, I mean if you become human, ummm…. Would you like to stay with me and be my girlfriend?" "I'd love too!!!"
Shiori heard Botan's voice and went to see what was going on. She smiled a smile that touched both ears when she saw the two at the door. Kurama was holding Botan up and they were lip-locked in a very passionate kiss. 'Why is it, every time I see them together now, they're kissing? Oh well, at least their both happy. And maybe I'll get a couple of grandkids out of this deal. Hehehe…'
Shiori just stood there watching the two. Soon Shizuru, Kuwabara, Yuseke, Yukina, Hiei, and Keiko joined Shiori in watching the two, but neither Botan nor Kurama seemed to care.
