She picks the box up & glares at the tape on it, "You're so cruel & unfair."
Kurama just smiles, "This should be nothing compared to what I had to go through to get what I wanted back when I was a thief. At least there aren't any wards or spells on your gift."
"Well, you didn't have to put electrical tape all over it!" she complains while trying to cut the tape off.
He smiles innocently, "Would you rather me have put super glue?"
She gives him a dangerous glare, which was cold enough to make even Youko Kurama shiver.
She grins when she manages to get the box open & rips all of the tissue paper out, discarding a small sack (made of tissue paper & a string to close it) as well. She blinks when she finds nothing in the box & glances around at the trash, finding the tissue sack. The deity opens it to find something she never would've expected! Rocks.
She shoots Kurama a death glare, "You made me go through all that for a sack of rocks? What were you thinking??? Ooh, when I get my hands on you..."
He points at a piece of paper lying on the floor among all of the tissue paper, "You forgot to look at your note. Read the note before you start trying to beat me to a pulp."
She reads the note, "//Sorry, but there is no present here. And you worked SO hard to get here too.//"
She glares at Kurama, but he just nods towards the note in her hand, "Did you read it ALL?"
The bluenette returns her eyes to the paper to find that it had the words "Look in the" and a picture of a Christmas tree.
She looks up at Kurama, "Look in the Christmas tree...?"
He smiles & nods, "Yes, make sure to look well."
She stands up & begins pacing back & forth & around the tree, inspecting it. She looks back at Kurama, confused, "I don't see anything..."
He cocks an eyebrow, "Are you sure that you're looking on the branches & inspecting it closely...?"
She returns her gaze to the tree & everyone watches as her eyes suddenly widen to their extent & she covers her mouth with her hand, "Oh my... Kurama..."
Hidden among the branches of the tree, rested a small, blue velvety box that was open to reveal a brilliant sapphire ring with diamonds surrounding it.
Kurama smiles & walks towards her, "I see that you're speechless about your gift Botan."
She nods slowly & watches as he carefully plucks the box from the tree. He smiles warmly & slowly gets down on one knee in front of her.
He holds the box out towards her, "Botan... will you marry me...?"
Everyone holds their breath as they watch Botan, waiting for her response. Small whimpers escape her as she stares at both him & the ring, his question echoing in her mind.
Tears well up in her eyes & she smiles, giving a small nod, "Of course Kurama, I would be honored to be your wife..."
He smiles wider as he removes the ring from it's case & slips it onto her finger, "As I would be honored to be your husband."
She wraps her arms around him & hugs him tightly, now sobbing. He hugs her back gently, attempting to calm her down. Everyone, at this time, begins cheering loudly & Yusuke pulls out a champagne bottle out of nowhere in particular & pops the top.
Botan calms down a bit & looks up at him, "Kurama..."
He smiles warmly, "Botan..."
He leans down & kisses her gently on her lips. She returns the kiss & wraps her arms loosely around his neck. After separating, people crowd around them to congratulate them.

After most of the partying was done, Botan had fallen asleep in a chair at one corner of the room. Kurama sees her & laughs before walking over to her, picking her up.
He looks at the others, "I'm going to go take Botan back to her home. See you guys later."
After being congratulated again by everyone, he leaves to take Botan back home. He smiled to himself while walking, ~From this moment on, our futures are intertwined until the day I die. If I revert to being a fox demon after my human body dies, I will continue to be by Botan's side. All that's left now is to plan the wedding...~
