Recap of Chappie 4:
"Ha...Hanasette (Let go of me)!! Itte yo (It hurts)" Botan shrugged and tried to push Ayame away, but she wasn't strong enough.
"Owari na (Sorry), this is the only way for you to realize that you're weak!!" he remarked and still reluctant to let her go.
"Mou...dame de, Ayame-sama, you're hurting Botan-san" Hakkumaru interrupted as he saw that the situation is getting worst. He could sense that Ayame is losing his equanimity.
"Gomen na...Seem's like someone's having problem with my friend here!!" a familiar voice interrupted.
"Ku...Kurama-kun" Botan exclaimed with joy and disbelieving.
"Sumanai na, daijobuka, Botan-san!!" he shot dead glares at the two strangers.
Chp 5 : Bitter-sweet medicine, Ayame no himitsu (Ayame's Secret)-Part 1
"Kurama-san, ka?? So you're the coward who abandoned Botan-chan, you do have guts to come back for her!!" Ayame hissed. He too glared furiously at Kurama!!
Hakkumaru stared at Kurama with amazement!! 'Besides me and Ayame-sama, there's stills bishonen in this sekai(world) that could compete with us! Shinjirarenai(Unbelievable)!!' Hakkumaru intensely thought. Minna-san, usually bishonens like to compare their looks with others
Kurama then walks towards Ayame and grabbed his collar. He grabbed it so tight that makes Ayame felt little suffocated, yet he still managed to grab hold of Botan. Botan who was now standing in between them and was shocked to see Kurama losing his anger; he had always been very calm even when it comes to the worst situations!!
"How dare you address Botan-san as 'chan' and let go of your dirty hand from Botan-san, gettzu(pervert)!! Kurama retorted furiously!!
"Dare ka gettzu (Who is pervert)?!" Ayame then loosen Botan and swung a right punch aiming against Kurama's face but Kurama dodged it easily!!
"Gettzu (Pervert), watch where you weak punches goes??" Kurama instantly felt Ayame's mysterious ki (aura) when he throws punches towards him!!
"Omoshire sa, gakki, kakatte koi(this is fun, kid, come over)" Ayame provoked Kurama to fight him.
Kurama could sense the ki (aura) from Ayame's getting stronger. He then gesture Botan to move away from them. Botan also could sense it, but she didn't know why and she definitely wouldn't want to see two total strangers fighting against each other.
Botan is worried dead that two of them would have hurt each other; therefore she decided to stop them.
"Yamette, Kurama-kun, Ayame-san, onegai yamero(Stop, please stop)!!" Botan ran towards them and stood between them to stop the fight instantly!! Her body was getting weaker, she can no longer stand with her own feet and she loses her posture and collapsed. Kurama was able to get hold of her body to prevent her head from hitting the ground.
"Botan-san, daijobu ka, shikaishitte?" Kurama once again regained his serenity when he held Botan in his arms.
Ayame just stood there, he felt sorry for Botan, at this condition. He accused Kurama for the cause of all these.
Hakkumaru saw Ayame holding his fist of antagonism and could not express his sympathy towards Botan. Both of them just stood beside Kurama and Botan, inaudibly gazed at them.
Botan slowly opened her eyes. Her orbs gently gazed at Kurama who's now holding her, the kind of concerning look on his face. She's happy, although her present situation is like this, she's happy!!
"Mou...Atashi hekki dess (I'm alright), just a little dizzy.I've taken medications." she grabbed Kurama's arm, she held him closer to her!! Kurama's heartbeat increases, blood burning, face blushing. He too, pulled Botan's head to rest on his chest; his hand gently stroked her tangled hair. At that very moment, he wish that they could stay like this forever, however part of him is still fighting against his feelings for her. He immediately brushes off his thoughts and focus on Botan's present states.
Her illness has definitely worsened compared to this morning. He wondered how it could be, since she said earlier that she had taken medicines.
"Kozo, what medications you've given her?? Her illness becomes worse!!" he reprimanded and glared at both of them.
"Nani, who do you think I am? Serial killer, killer manic and why should I do such harmful things to an unknown onna? It's so un-saccharine!! And mind you, I'm not kozo, you gakki!!" he retorted.
Hakkumaru laughed loudly when he heard such reprisal from Ayame. Ayame blushed and shot dead glare at him, Hakkumaru then stopped and controlled, not even letting out his chuckles.
"Em...we only gave her some medicines for cold, flu, fever and what else.?" Hakkumaru replied when he saw Kurama's face getting more furious. Shouganai na.(can't help it), too many ppl shooting dead glares nowadays!!
"Sono, taihen (That's big trouble)" Kurama hissed. 'Medicines from Ningenkai, it wouldn't do good for her, tabun(perhaps).' he wearily thought.
'Botan, shikaishitte, I'll bring you back to the temple first and then prepare some effective medicine to cure you!!' Kurama whispered to Botan and ignored both of them. He then gently carried Botan with him; decided to go back to Genkai's Temple.
"Nani...what are you planning to do?" Ayame grabbed Kurama's shoulder to stop him from leaving.
"Taking Botan back to...pause...her house!" Kurama sighed as he felt annoyed to bluff about Botan's background. Somehow he felt like owing them some explanations becoz they were the one who saved Botan earlier.
'I guess I was a little irritated earlier, shouldn't have treated them rudely, they saved Botan-san. I'm so impolite for being so rude, but this kozo touched Botan-san and addresses her 'chan' zettai urusainai(absolutely unforgivable)!! Demo(but), this guy is not any ordinary ningnen, need to take little time to investigate?!' he thought and this time instead of glaring, he stared at him and tried to calm himself down so he could make good judgments about them later.
"You mean you are taking her back to her house, how, planning to walk? Are you crazy, how long will it takes, two hours, three hours, she'll definitely be dead when she reached home!!" Ayame exclaimed, still not letting go of Kurama. "And, see now the weather is becoming terrible. Have you ever thought that she'll not be able to make it, what.if.mou.I don't understand what's in your mind!!" he shushed when Kurama glanced at Ayame's hand.
He suddenly felt the chilly as Kurama eyed on his hand. He quickly let go of Kurama. Kurama sighed.
"You're right, but then, do you have better suggestions?" Kurama replied sensitively, he had totally regained his composure.
"Mochiron (Of Coz), you could bring her back to my house, it's just somewhere here!!" he also soften his tone when he noticed that Kurama sudden calmness. 'Hen(Strange)!! How could he just change his sentiments so suddenly?! Mou, his attitudes is just like Botan-chan!! Hen...hen...hen!!'
"Ii. (Okay), demo (but), you'll have to allow me to stay by her side from time to time!!" Kurama agreed with Ayame's suggestion as when he rose such terms.
"Do as you wish, I've no intentions to do anything to her!!" Ayame retaliated. 'Baka, why should I say something like that, seems like I care!!' he looked away from Kurama to hide his embarrassment.
"Sou..desu ne(Is it)?? Then why are you pinning Botan-san against the wall and stick so close to her?? What's your intention??" Kurama questioned Ayame as he was a little pissed off when he saw Ayame sticking so close to Botan earlier.
"I...I..." Ayame shrugged and he knew instantly that Kurama is warning him with a 'don't-touch-her-again-or-else' glare.
'Kuso!! This guy is more perilous than anyone I've met before!!' Ayame thought.
"I'm only trying to stop her from looking for you!! I don't know why but she so concern about you?? She insisted that she wouldn't give up on searching for you!! You do mean a lot for her, isn't it?" Ayame sighed when he recalled on how hard he's trying to persuade her not to push herself too hard.
"Iie (No), to Botan-san, friends are the most important thing! She cherished each and every one of us! She wouldn't want to see if something bad happened to us!!" Kurama explained and he eyed at Botan gently. There's no more dangerous aura around them.
"Sa, futari domo (Both of you please), hayakku ikku yo(let's move faster), samui na (it's cold)!! Hakkumaru grumbled as the weather is getting colder, yet both of them still standing there!!
"Ah...erm..." Ayame replied as he still gazed at Kurama and Botan.
"Ah...erm...? Mezurashi (Unusual)!! I thought you would say something more stunning!!" Hakkumaru teased.
"Urusai na mo(Shut up)" Ayame begged Hakkumaru to stop embarrassing him. With that Hakkumaru take the lead and guide Kurama who's now carrying Botan, to Ayame's house.
Everyone keep silence along the way, as the wind was blowing mercilessly towards them. The snows piled on the ground also give them hard times, they managed to reach their destinations soon. When they reached Ayame's house, Kurama spotted the wrecked sculpture that was placed nearby the backdoor.
Ayame saw Kurama's attention towards the sculpture and he instantly claimed that Botan was the one who broke the sculpture with her head.
"Sou ka?? And so?" Kurama asked nonchalantly. Ayame was stunned by Kurama's tranquillity. To Kurama, Botan's clumsiness is just a common issue to everyone who knew her. It's not the first time she had casually caused herself trouble, it's just part of her charisma that attracts people to her.
"Actually, I'm not anxious about the wrecked sculpture. I just can't understand why the owner of the house has to use the backdoor instead of the front one? Ma.ikka!! It's none of my business, anyway!!" Kurama purposely said it out loud just to tease Ayame. Ayame's felt like Mt. Fuji's going to erupt.
Ayame knocked the back door as hard as he could. It seems like he wanted to break open the door. Yumi then quickly rush out from the house and opened up the back door.
"Kaasan, tadaima (I'm back)!!" Hakkumaru greeted his mother politely.
All of them brushed off heavy coding of snow from their winter coat. Kurama, somehow, had more snow covering his head as he's been trying his best to avoid the snow from covering up Botan's face.
"Hora.Ayame-sama soshite (and also) Hakku-kun, okaeri (Welcome back)! Mou, I was preparing some onigiri (rice ball) and it almost done, when I heard someone banged terribly hard on the door, I then quickly rushed out and all of you are here" Yumi explained to Ayame and Hakkumaru. She then laid her eyes on Kurama who's carrying Botan.
"Botan-san!! Doshita no (What happened)?? Soshite, who's this beautiful ojo- san (missy), Ayame-sama, is she your kanojo (girlfriend)??" Yumi's curiosities killed so many cats.
Hakkumaru quickly goes beside his mother to stop her from causing more embarrassment. He then slightly elbowed his mother and dragged her away from them. He explained to his mother on the whole situation.
"Ah sou ka?? So he had a fight with Ayame-sama??" she asked her son, her eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.
"Kasaan" Hakkumaru begged his mother to stop bring up those awkward incidents.
"Ah sou dess, let me had a formal introduction on us!! My name is Sanada, Hakkumaru Sanada, yoroshiku ne and he's Ayame Okazawa, our young master soshite, my mom Yumi Sanada!!"
'Okazawa?? Mosukashitte (Maybe), ai ze, Shin no Okazawa wa dare??' he thought when he heard of Ayame's surname.
"Yoroshiku, Minamino Syuuichi desu!!" Kurama shove away the thoughts earlier and then politely introduces himself.
"Minamino-kun dess ka??.Eto, Kurama is your epithet, coz Botan-san always address you that!!" Hakkumaru asked peculiarly.
"Sou dess!!" Kurama felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead, this incident happened also when Kuwabara went to his school to look for him.
Yumi approached Kurama. She apologized that earlier she had mistakenly took him as an onna!! Kurama then assured her that it's okay since it's not the first time that he's being mistaken as a female.
Everyone sweatdropped upon hearing it expect for Botan, she's fell asleep in Kurama's cradle.
"So you the guy whom Botan-san is very concern of?? Ii no otoko (great man)!! No wonder.Ara, look at Botan-san, she seems to enjoy being cradled by you!!" Yumi chuckled when she saw Botan's face brushed towards Kurama's chest, as if he's a slumber to her.
Kurama didn't notice it, until Yumi pointed out!! In fact, he too, felt very comfortable. He didn't even felt tired of carrying Botan.
"Mou, shouganai na, you could now put her to rest, unless you still want to carry her longer!!" Ayame hissed.
Kurama looked at Ayame and could tell that he's absolutely not happy about seeing this. 'Ai ze (That guy), masaka (impossible), sono kimochi ga (that feelings)??'
"Well, I've got to make some hot coco to warm you all up!! It's so cold outside isn't it?? Hakku-kun, could you please guide Kurama-san to the room that Botan rested in this morning!!" Yumi commanded at his son excused herself then she quickly rushed back to the kitchen.
"Kochira, dozo onegaishimass!! (Here please)" Hakkumaru politely showed Kurama to the guest room.
They passed by Ayame whose eye is still on Botan. Hakkumaru let out a soft chuckle when he saw Ayame's worried look. Ayame then again wearily looked away from them when he noticed instantly that Hakkumaru was staring at him.
"I'm going back to my room!!" Ayame exclaimed and head towards to his room. Kurama nodded and thank Ayame for his munificence.
"It's not for you; I only pity Botan-chan, who cares what will happen to you!!" Ayame hissed
'This guy isn't that bad after all!!' Kurama silently thought, yet he's still anxious with the 'ki' that Ayame had let out earlier.
'Hn., at least he still knows how to respect the owner of this house, demo (but), aize wa Botan-chan wa dare(who's this guy to Botan)?? Kuso, why should I care, ano onna(that woman)? They couldn't be ordinary ningnen, seem's like they could feel my ki!' Ayame focused too much on his thoughts and was not aware that he had already passed by his own room. It seems like the walkway is rather long for him.
He finally realized that he have to stop, he had already reached to the end of the walkway. Towards to the end of the walkway there's a door hidden in the dark. Not many people working with the Okazawa knows about this place, except the inheritor of Okazawa's realm.
"Matta ku (not again)" he cursed "I've come here again!!" he then stared at a door that was locked and fettered. There were several charms attached on it. "Mou, I can't go in there anymore. There's no room for me!! No room." he hissed and run away from that place as fast as he could leaving all the trace of past behind him.
On the other hand.
"Arigatou, Sanada-san" Kurama thanked Hakkumaru when he slid open the door for him to excess.
"Kinishinai de, you could just rest Botan on the mattress" Hakkumaru pointed on the neatly folded piles of mattress, pillows and blankets.
"Hai, I will!!" Kurama replied courteously.
He grinned at Kurama and Kurama returned him with another smile. He stood there for a few minutes. Kurama too stared at him for that few minutes.
'I couldn't use the medicines from youkai, if this guy is still around here!!' Kurama thought intensely.
Hakkumaru then realize that Kurama would possibly want him to leave them alone.
"Ah.sou desu, I forgot, I've got to help kasaan to bring in the hot coco! Kurama-san, do take good care of Botan-san!!" Hakkumaru chuckled and leave the room. He then gently closes the door leaving two of them alone.
Kurama then unfold the mattress and arranged the pillows neatly and laid Botan to rest on it.
He vigilantly detects the surrounding to ensure that there's no presence of ningen ki. Subsequently he released small amount of his youki to warm up the room. His hands are now surrounding by gleam of lights creating warm ki. He moved his hands and gently caresses Botan's pale face.
"Botan-san, okinasai (wake up), onegai hayakku okinasai (please wake up soon)!!" he whispered softly to Botan hoping that she would soon opened up her beautiful eyes and smile graciously at him.
'Naze ka (Why)? Why is this happening to you?? If I had keep my eye on you earlier, then this would not have happened!!' Kurama sadly thought and takes all the blames.
He then removed the damped winter jacket and also helped Botan to take off her's (jacket, I mean blushed, blushed). In order to keep her body warm, he held her body closer to his. Kurama's youki slowly warm up Botan's body. She began to sweat excessively.
Kurama spotted that there's some clean towel placed nearby where the mattress were laid. He makes use of the towel and dries up the sweat on Botan's forehead and spot which could be within his reach.
Her panting starts again; she's slowly regaining her perception. She closed and opened her eyes a few times.
"Ku.Kurama-kun ka??" she slowly raised her hand to touch Kurama's face.
"Hai, Botan-san, sikaishitte (Yes, Botan, perk up)!!" he encouraged her and hugged her tighter.
"Atashi.hekki dess, hontoni(I'm alright, really)" she assured Kurama.
'I'm alright because I have you here with me now!!' she blissfully told herself that and hugged Kurama back. She wanted to remember this very special feeling of them.
"Hai, wakatta, demo" he hushed and gently stroke her silky blue hair. He too felt that it's too reluctant to let go of her, he then closes his eyes and captivated deeply by these feelings.
Just as they were drowning in their own world, something interrupted them. The compact intercom suddenly beeped. Kurama heard the compact and quickly pulled Botan away from him.
Botan didn't say anything, but then Kurama could tell that she's feeling a little upset because of his sudden withdrawal.
Kurama didn't have the courage to look at Botan again. He instead moves a few steps away from her and then he answered the intercom. He knows very well who's calling him.
"Kurama, did you manage to find Botan?!" a chibi voice came out from the intercom, loud and clear.
"Hai, Koenma-sama, but she's now very ill!!" he answered forlornly.
"Er.sou ka?? Is she alright, what illness?? That baka!!" Koenma complained.
Kurama didn't retaliate, but he was a little bit pissed off when Koenma called up at this time.
"Where are you guys now?" he reprimanded.
"I'm not definite, but it looks like we are with the Okazawa right now!!" he replied steadfastly.
"Nani, with the Okazawa!! Kurama, quickly bring Botan and leave this place soon before Shin no Okazawa finds out otherwise you'll be in big trouble!!" he warned austerely.
"Hai, Koenma-sama!! We be leaving soon!!" he assured Koenma and then end the conversation.
"Mou, sono taihen (that's big trouble), Botan-san, can you manage to leave this place now?? As you've heard from what Koenma said earlier, if we don't leave this place before Shin no Okazawa finds out then."
Kurama eyes opened wide when he saw eyes trickle with tears. Botan too didn't realize that she had actually wept. She then quickly wiped off those tears.
'Matta ku(Not Again) I've inexorably hurt her again, baka-kitsune! Is she thinking that I've went through all this because of Koenma's orders?' he hissed and cursed himself. He felt like he wants to smack himself real hard, again he come to think why did she suddenly it be that she's having the same feeling for him too!
'Masaka' he shook his head 'there's only one way to find out' with his determination he fixed his gaze at her. 'I've got to let her know the truths, I can't let misunderstanding happens between us anymore!!' he firmly convince himself.
'Baka, watashi wa hontoni baka, how could I be such a cry baby!! I've knew earlier that he's protecting me because Koenma had asked him to!! But then, it hurts!!' she limply look away from Kurama.
"Botan-san, daijobu ka?" Kurama cleared the lump in his throat and asked her agonizingly as he's could tell that Botan's avoiding his gaze.
"Botan-san." he whispered her name and walk closer to her.
"I.I, Sumimasen" she apologized and fixed her sad eyes at the floor.
"I'm just feeling that I've been causing you so much trouble for today, beside from apologizing, I don't know what to do anymore?!" her gazes still avoiding him. 'baka, Botan, baka, still deceiving yourself' she thought pathetically. Tears still kept on rolling down from her eyes.
"Ii na, sonna koto (How can you say such words), jitzu wa (actually), I just have this determination to protect you and to tell you the truth that no one could possibly force me to do things which I'm not willing to!!" he bend down and gently cupped her face to face him. He smiled amiably at her. He dried those tears from her eyes.
"Huh.!!"Botan's expression seems rather perplexed; seem like she had eaten tons of wasabi the hue was redder than before!! 'Protect me!! Sonna.how could it be, but then, I can't.I can't get away from his charms' knowingly that she could no longer avoid looking into his dazzling emerald eyes.
"Sore de.(And then)" Kurama then slowly move his chin higher and his lip brushes against her forehead. He had planted a kiss on her forehead, sending a thrill over Botan's spine.
"Wha.wa.!! Ku.Kurama, what are you doin?!" Botan shrugged as she was stunned by Kurama's unpredicted act.
"Yogatta, Ima wa Botan-san, genki sou (Great, Botan is now very energetic) just giving you a cheer up peck sore wa, ai no juden (that's recharged energy of love), since you said you've caused me lots of trouble, just take this as a pay off!!" he genially replied and looked at her now-that- l'm-caught-in-the-middle look!!
AN:Hmm.he's not only good in stealing valuables, but also good in stealing hearts!! Er..minna-san, jodan..jodan!!
Botan's face had totally heated up and of course, her uncomplicated expression could easily tell that she's still in an aftershock state of mind!!Am I a little too boastful here??? One of her hand's still covering her forehead where Kurama had planted a kiss on!! 'I never expect he would kiss my forehead! Doushiyo??' she looked even more confusing.
Love is so confusing kreuz sighed.
"I know it would be a little impolite, but we just have to leave this place without letting anyone knows!! So.Is it okay for us to sneak out of here now?!" Kurama asked as he ascended and extend a helping hand to Botan and gestured her to hold onto it.
Botan didn't decline, her eyes looked into his; the sincerity in his eyes has already tells her to have faith in him!!
She took his hand and say "I do!!"
Hiei sudden jump outta nowhere!!
kreuz: Yelp!! Hiei!! When did u sneak in, pikurishitta (Scared me)!!
Hiei: Hn, baka no onna, u didn't shut the window!!
Kreuz: Did you just purposely came here and scares me off or hee..hee.hee, I know, you must have miss me soo..much throwing puppy eyes at him

Kreuz: (smiling gaily) I do!! Yay..yai..doin silly gesture in front of Hiei!!
Hiei:( Atomic bombs exploded) Mou.iranai(I don't want)...
End of craps!! Back to the story.
Kurama supported Botan firmly by holding tight of her slim waist vice versa; she also clutched Kurama's shoulder with her arms, so it would ease him extra load.
Both of them tip-toed towards the door, he then slowly slide open the door. To Kurama, sneaking is just as easy as snapping fingers!! They easily bypassed several guards. They glided across to the garden, and were attempting to leap over the wall. Just as they were about to leap, Botan sensed an odd aura that seem rather familiar.
"Kurama-kun, matte!! I could feel something, over there; could we just go there and have a look??" Botan quickly asked Kurama and pointed towards a very sinister walkway!!
The walkway somehow gives Botan an awe-inspiring feeling. Kurama then suggest that they should not be going there, but Botan was very importunate with it. She wants to know what's in there.
"Shoganai na(Can't help it) Okay, we'll go there, but only for a while!!" Kurama sighed but he just can't decline Botan's request especially now that she's throwing her infamous puppy eyes at him. Kawai, Botan-chan
They carefully approached the dark walkway, it seemed like no guards were around that area!! It's like a forbidden area or maybe not many people know about this place. They passed by few doors, and few minutes later they reached a door where charms there were charms attached on it!!
"Kurama, mitte (see), this door, behind it, I could feel, those thrilling aura, do you feel it too?!" Botan's body shaken as when she was near to that door!! Kurama felt that Botan's clutching him tighter. He also could sense this aura when he's near to this door.
"I'm curious of what's or who's in this room!!" Kurama asked intensely and walk close to read the wordings written on the charms.
"Those words printed on the charm! I've not seen it before!! It seems like some kind of ancient phraseology. Although, I've been living for more than two thousand years!!" he hissed. Botan stared at him with amazement. He just had had her mind refreshed; of course Kurama is definitely older than her. He used to be a reckless Makai thiefs.
"Em?? Why are you staring at me like this??" Kurama shrugged and blushed when he suddenly glanced at Botan.
"Nai...Nandemo nai!!" she chuckled. 'Kurama-kun, kawai' she thought gleefully when she noticed that Kurama eventually blushed.
"Em...So you've recovered already, it seem!!" Kurama teased.
"Hai...Because, I'm with you right now!!" she smiled gaily at him.
She then get closer to the room, she gently touches the charm..
Coincidently the charm fell off itself when Botan touches it!! Kurama jaw dropped right down to the floor.
"Ara...doshiyo, Kurama-kun, the charm, the charm?!" she ran here and there panicky. Her hand's still holding the fell off charm.
Kurama grabbed her arm and swing her towards his body holding and pulled her towards to the corner leaving the torn off charm on the floor.
"Botan-san, someone's coming here!!" he warned as he could hear footsteps approaching.
Kurama look around and spotted a narrow gap somewhere near to the corner. This narrow fissure managed to let two of them to hide in it.
He then again dragged Botan and himself to squeeze into that gap. Their body was very close to each other. So close that they could feel each other's breathe.
Botan then blushed again when she remembered Kurama had given her a peck on her forehead. Again, now they were standing face to face with each other, so close, the gap were so narrowed that it's would not be possible for both of them to move freely.
"Are you alright??" Kurama asked as he could feel Botan's body becomes hotter. He too felt rather hot, wait a minute, its winter, shouldn't be that hot, might be some adrenaline or male hormones instinct that makes him feel hot when he's now attached to Botan. He had never had this kind of urges. He fixed his gaze at her now blushing face.
Botan fixed her head sideward to avoid Kurama's gaze. She felt soft fingers lingered and run through her hair. A hand slowly unknots her usual pony tail letting her silky blue hair flow freely.
"Kurama-kun, dame nasai yo(stop doin this)!! Someone might find us here!!" she inaudibly pleaded him, still defied to look at him.
Kurama ignored her plead. He carefully moves his hand and cupped Botan's face to face him.
"You're blushing!! Kawai" he commented. Botan's eyes widen. It's not the first time that their distant were so close to each other, but it would be the first time for Botan to look into Kurama's eyes with such distant!! There's not more than an inch of space to spare them.
She shrugged upon hearing that, in fact she really hates to admit that she's weak whenever she hugged or teased by Kurama.
His thumb gently caressed her dry lip. Botan was then mesmerized by his touch.
Kurama tilted Botan's chin and moved her face closer to his. "Your lips are cold, it's my fault"
"Anatawa koso (You too)!!" she replied and bit by bit her eyes closed. She was relieved when she thinks back how hard they were trying to contradict their feelings for each other and now eventually they were sharing the same situation, time, faith and even their own heartbeats.
Strong and firm arms held her closer pressing her body in close proximity to his. She waited for this moment, the very moment when both their lips finally melt into each others.
They had shared their very first, chaste and immature kiss under such situation. Every now and then Kurama tried to adjust to a better position to kiss her as the space was too limited. Botan felt rather enjoyable as at her height she doesn't have to worry that her head might bump onto something. All she had to do is just relax a little.
They stopped when Kurama sensed the footsteps are at near distance. "Botan- san, seems like someone is coming here!" Kurama whispered softly to Botan.
'I don't know why Kurama still could act so calm but that's why I'm being so attached to him!' she thought and buried her face on Kurama's warm chest.
A short interview with Kurama!!
Kreuz: Kurama-san, base on the above statement, it seem that you had purposely pull Botan to stuck in such small gap with you!!
Kurama: (Blushed) avoiding kreuz's suspicious stare "Sonna.where did you have such ideas from?" Still acting very calm!!
Kreuz: Hm.sou ka?? Ne, Hiei. What do you think??

Kurama:Sweatdrop "Hiei, as a friend, I'll take this as a compliment!! Next time if Yukina is going to look for her half-bro again, I would be more than happy to assist her!!" throwing his trademark teasing glance at Hiei!!

End of interview
Continue...
Kurama is focusing his view towards the odd entrance. He curious to know what lies behind it!! The footstep gets nearer and nearer. In the glimpse of light, a familiar face slowly revealed.
'Ayame-san? So that's only Ayame-san!!' Botan thought and felt a bit relieved.
'Kurama-kun, why don't we reveal ourselves instead of hiding here? It's not that Ayame don't know us!!' she telepathy Kurama and decided to walk out, when Kurama shook his head and disapproved it.
'Botan-san, just wait and see what happen!! I'm sure this guy got something to do with the aura!! The aura that his body releases were similar to those that was behind the door!! I'm eager to know the truth!!' he telepathy back.
'Hai, wakatta' she replied and gave Kurama a soft peck on his cheek and then smile amiably at him.
Both of them looked at where Ayame's now standing. He looks weary. He's now standing in front of the odd door. He noticed the torn off charm that was now. He then looked around. He suspected that they might be someone around here.
Kurama and Botan had hidden their 'ki' earlier so that ningen can't detect their presence.
Ayame was very watchful; he checked every nearby corner to ensure that no one is in this area.Sigh, he's not watchful, he just pretended to be after all
He then again stands in front of the door. His two hands clasp onto the knob of the door and twisted it open.
When the door was opened, there's even a stronger aura spreading out. Kurama and Botan felt those auras rather sickening. It's full of vengeance, agony and pain.
Botan then feel very pathetic, she doesn't know why, but she felt like this aura was once with her!!
Just when Kurama was focusing at Ayame's situation, he felt few droplets dripped onto his shoe. He then noticed that Botan was crying.
'Botan...doshitte?? Feeling ill again??' he telepathy her and softly clutches her shoulder to ensure if she's okay.
"Ku...Kurama.let's leave this place!! Kurushi (sad)." she sobbed and panted heavily. Her face suddenly turns pale.
"Da re (Who)??" Ayame exclaimed. To Ayame's surprise, Kurama and Botan unhide themselves and slowly walk towards him.
"So, it Botan-san and you again!!" he hissed cursing himself for being so careless.
"What do you want??" Ayame asked angrily. He noticed that Botan is sobbing.
"I...I...don't know?" Botan wept, grabbing Kurama's arm nearer to her. She looks petrified.
Ayame sadly glance at Botan and then looked away. He clutches his fist tightly. He bites his lip.
"Futari de, ningen ja nai (Both of you are not human)" he assumed. Kurama throws a glare at him.
"Hn, don't need to glare at me like that! Boku wa, onaji de, ningen ja nai (I'm just the same, not human)" he hissed. He eyed wearily at them.
Both Kurama and Botan felt perplexed although they knew that he was different from ordinary ningen, but they never thought that he would eventually confessed the facts to them.
End of Chapter 5 (Part 1)
Hora, minna-san, gomen,gomen, hyakkuman no gomenasai I don't mean to delay this fics!!
