Sarasaki High's Gaffe
Chapter 11 - Deja vu II.
"Uh-" He said as the long black haired girl walked by him and sat on his bed. "Maya." He said closing the door and walking to his bed. "What are you doing here?" He noticed her hair had been dyed.
"What do you mean?" She asked lying back and arching her back, supposed to attempting in seducing him. "Aren't you happy to see me?" She asked as he sat down a few feet apart from her.
[Feel So Numb plays]
"Well I'm- I'm shocked definitely." He stuttered as he saw her get up and sit on his lap, facing face to face with his. She looked into his greenish, now black from the dark room eyes and ran her hand through his hair.
"I've been out of town. We're still together, even when I'm away." She said pushing her weight onto him, making them fall back onto the bed. "Haven't you missed me?" She asked as she began kissing him.
Kurama tried pushing her off but failed somehow, kind of enjoying it for awhile but realized what was going on. "Maya." He muttered while the kissed, never separating.
They heard a noise at the window. "Hey kit-SUNE!" Hiei shouted as he fell into the window from what he saw. Hiei's eyes widened as his heart pumped harder.
"Hiei!" He shouted as Maya jumped beside the bed and fixed her shirt. She stood up, never taking her eyes from the demon.
"Kurama what is he doing here!?" She shouted as she backed away, "Oh no Kurama-kun.. n-not yaoi-hentai." She said covering her mouth and trembling.
Hiei and Kurama jumped up with their eyes wide. "No Maya!" Kurama said rushing to her side as Hiei tried to stop himself from having a heart attack.
"I ain't gay and neither is he!" He shouted as the girl began welling up. "Oh don't start that shit." He said covering his ears. Kurama wrapped an arm around her shoulder and walked her to the door.
"Maya uh-" He said with a sigh, "I'm in love with someone else and no it's not him or any other guy." Kurama said as Maya looked at him confused.
"With who?" Maya asked as she stepped out into the hallway. Kurama slowly got behind the door.
"Botan." He closed the door before the girl could attack him. She bet on the door as Kurama and Hiei snickered lowly.
"Wakarimasen, don't make me naku!" She said before bursting out into tears. Kurama could hear his grandmother take the girl away from the door.
Kurama and Hiei sighed in relief. "Boy she's a hand full." Kurama said as Hiei smirked. Then he lost it,
"Kitsune, you like Botan?" Hiei asked the redhead as he looked at his friend curiously. Kurama looked at Hiei and tried to answer in a way not to hurt him.
"I-"
"-do." Hiei answered. Kurama sighed.
"I do." He said closing his eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you this." He apologized to the demon as the demon sat on the floor beside Kurama's bed.
"Hn, wakarimasu." Hiei replied. Kurama looked down at him. "Why don't you tell her?"
"I have but she seems to put on an act like she doesn't like me." Kurama said sitting on his bed. "I had a dream right before Maya showed up."
Hiei became interested, "What was it about?" He asked, turning his body towards the fox boy.
"Well it was kind of weird and.. ordinary. Botan was on my bed and I was lying in her lap and she was feeding me." Kurama said as Hiei laughed out loud.
"An amai itigo." He said, remembering the sweet taste as if it was real. He moaned, making the demon give him weird looks.
"Hn, don't go hentai now fox." Hiei said making Kurama chuckle. "I don't want to hear your fantasies." He said before they both went to sleep.

"Beep--beep--beep--beep!" Botan hit the snooze button and drifted off into a ten minute nap.
"Botan." She heard an unusual voice and opened her eyes and saw Kurama lying beside her undercover with no shirt on. "Ohayo." He said smiling. Botan smiled at him as he tried to kiss her but she shoved him away.
"Konbowa." She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Botan!" Botan shot up when she heard her mother's voice call. Minat'te stood before her. "Time to get up, school day!" She shouted as Botan moaned and fell out the bed.
"Kasaan." She sang droopily hanging upside down from her bed. Minat'te grabbed Botan's hand and pulled her to her feet.
"C'mon, c'mon. Up, up." Her cheery Jap mother demanded. Botan hung over Minat'te's shoulder as she walked into the bathroom. Botan looked in the mirror seeing her beauty pink eyes and white hair.
She smiled. 'You are so pretty.'
She snapped out of her trance when she saw her little brother watching her amused. She glared at him and began to bark at him to scare him off.
'That dream was weird.' She said as she took off her gown and turned on the shower. She stepped in, "I don't like Kurama." She said aloud. 'But you do.' Her mind said to her. "Erg!" She grabbed her wet hair.
"Botan!" She heard her brother shout. "Hurry up slow poke! God you're as slow as a turtle." He said as Botan shouted something back. "Kasaan!" Both of them shouted.
After her shower they had a typical breakfast with a daily discussion. "So Ryo, Botan, where's those report cards? Hasn't it been 6 weeks yet?" Minat'te asked separating her pancakes.
"Oops. I left my report card in my locker." Ryo said false eyed. Minat'te closed her eyes,
"Now Ryo, what did I tell you about lying about having your report card?" She asked as she eyed Ryo hardly. Sometimes Botan thought this woman was a bitch under all of her kindness.
"Gomen kasaan." Ryo said staring at his empty plate. Botan snickered as Minat'te looked at her with her wicked eyes.
"Oh I have mine!" She said running up the stairs. She got her book bag off her bed as a folded piece of paper fell out of it. Without noticing she walked on.
"Here kasaan." She said in her sing-song tone again. She pulled her hair into a bow before she sat at the table. Minat'te looked at the paper and glanced to Botan before looking back at it.
"Very good." She said smiling and then gasped, "Woah!" She said, making Ryo choke on his last piece of pancake. "Botan, you got a D in history." Minat'te said as she fainted.
"So what?" Botan asked Ryo. Ryo laughed insanely, "Nani Ryo-san!?" She asked. Ryo looked at his older sister.
"You got a D in history! You broke your life time record of A B honor roll." Ryo said taking the plates to the kitchen. "Whelp! I did notice something different about you since the last year." Ryo said running out to the bus.
Botan looked to her mother, "Minat'te. Kasaan, you alright?" She said as her father walked in. Minat'te sat up dizzy.
"What happened Botan?" Daniel asked as he squatted beside the two. "You go on to school. I'll get her up." He said smiling at her as Botan gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Thanks dad. Ja ne!" She ran out the door.
Botan took off running down the road as she heard someone call from behind. "Botan!" Keiko shouted in her car. Botan turned around and ran back to the car and hopped in.
"I forgot you had a car." Botan said as she sat across from Kuwabara who was arguing with Yusuke about who was going to win some kind of game after school.
"I know, Yusuke done the same just before you came outside." She said as Yusuke looked at her confused. "I was talking to Botan." She said as he turned back to talk with Kuwabara.
Keiko pulled up to a light. "Yusuke, do you want some breakfast?" She asked trying to decide rather to turn to Biscuit Ville of just go on to school.
"Keiko where's Kurama-kun?" Botan asked as Keiko's mouth hung open. She done a U turn and flew down the same street they came from. They saw the redhead walking as Keiko pulled over to him.
"Sorry Kurama-kun I forgot." She said as Kurama looked up at the group with a small smile. Botan moved over as Kurama hopped into the back with her and Kuwabara.
"It's ok. I could use some exercise." Kurama said as Yusuke and Kuwabara laughed.
"Right. A demon needing to exercise, c'mon Kurama." Yusuke said shaking his head. Kurama rolled his eyes. "Oh Keiko, I'll be fine." He said as Keiko turned towards the school.
"You're probably broke anyway." Keiko said under her breath as Yusuke snapped at her. "Oh shut up Yusuke, you are." She said, starting a fight with him. Kurama and Botan looked at each other with a sigh.
~*~
"Today class we will be doing a historical timeline." The british accent man walked around, leaving Abercrombie scent around the class. "So, come to the front desk and get the following."
He said in the background while Keiko and Botan chatted. "So what did your mother say about the D you got in history?" Keiko asked the blue haired girl as she blushed.
"Nothing." Botan replied, making Keiko's eyebrows quirk. "She fainted." Botan mumbled as Keiko burst into laughter, making Mr. Jones walk over to them.
"Ok girls, what is it this time?" He asked, sitting on their desk as they looked at him star eyed.
"I was just telling Keiko about what my mother said when I told her I got a D in your class!" Botan said crossing her arms and closing her eyes.
"Yeah and she said nothing!" Keiko said crossing her arms as Mr. Jones looked at them waiting for more. "She just fainted." Keiko shouted as she burst into laughter again, causing everybody else to.
Mr. Jones chuckled, Botan glared at him. "Oh c'mon Botan. It isn't my fault." He said standing up and walking to the front of the class. "You do need to improve on your tests. Last one you took you got a-"
"No! Don't say it out loud." She said as he told anyway.
"A 52." He said as Yusuke and Kuwabara kept laughing. Botan looked back at them and threw a paper ball at them.
"Oh shut up! You didn't get any better." She said as Keiko began laughing.
"Actually, Mr. Urameshi got an 80 and Kazuma Kuwabara, the great, got a 73." Mr. Jones said as Kuwabara and Yusuke stood in a super hero posture.
"That's unbelievable." Kurama said as Kuwabara and Yusuke threw more paper balls at him. Kurama chuckled as his fan girls sighed with an 'aw.'
"Indeed it is." Keiko said as Mr. Jones caught their attention. "Um, I believe I've told you all what to do. So do it." He said sitting at his desk and grabbing a Wall Street Journal paper as the class got up.
"Keiko, I'll need all your help with this." Botan said as Keiko nodded. "I believe this is a group project." Keio said as she walked over to Mr. Jones.
"Is this a group project?" Keiko asked dearly as he nodded to her. She smiled at him as he quirked his brows. "Yeap Botan it's a group thing!" She shouted turning back to Botan. She saw Kurama giving her another note.
Keiko waited as she saw Botan take it and look up at him as he walked towards Kuwabara and Yusuke with some other guys. "Botan, it's a group project." Keiko said as Botan shoved the note into her pocket.
"Ok."
"May I work with you?" Emi asked, walking over to Botan and Keiko. Botan smirked devilishly.
"Hey Emi." Botan said as Emi sat on a desk and put her feet on the other. Keiko looked at the girl's clothing, which was the school uniform with combat boots.
"Hey B!" Emi said as Botan sat on the table beside her. "Sure you can work with us." Keiko said sitting on the other side of her. "What's up with your style?" She asked laughing at the short haired blonde's shoes.
Emi snickered, "Well, I don't like heels so. Yeah." Emi replied turning her boots and looking at them. "That's the dike." She said with a smirk. Botan and Keiko giggled.
"So Botan." Keiko said walking up to her and sneaking the note out of the white haired girl's pocket. "Lets get busy." She said as Emi watched without a word.
"Ok! I'll go get the stuff." Botan said galloping over to the front table where there was a poster board, a stickable scale sticker and a permanent marker.
Emi and Keiko ran out of the classroom and into the girl's bathroom. They turned into the bathroom snickering and panting. "What's it say!?" Emi said looking on the note with the brunette.
"It says, 'Meet me after school in the park by that bench where Hiei's tree is.'" Keiko said looking at Emi with a frown. "So much for the gushy stuff." She pouted.
"You know what that means?" Emi asked snapping her finger. "It means we have a little spying to do!" She said pulling Keiko back into the classroom by her hand. Botan stood with the stuff in her hand looking around.
Keiko quickly dropped the note into her pocket and appeared in front of her as she looked behind her to see Emi. "Hey Emi, where did Keiko go?" She asked as Keiko tapped Botan on the shoulder and laughed.
Kurama and Yusuke walked over to them. "Hey guys, need any help with it?" Kurama asked as Yusuke held up their already done timeline.
"Yes definitely!" Botan shouted as she put the poster board on the desk and everybody gathered around. "Oh yeah and I need more of your tutoring." She said as Keiko gave him a wink.
"Ok." He replied as he began discussing how to do it.
~*~ After school
"Bliiing!" The bell rung as the students raced out the double doors of the school's entrance. Keiko, Botan, Kurama, and Yusuke walked behind the group as Kuwabara took off with his friends.
Keiko saw Kurama walking away and tried to play innocent, "Hey Kurama, you coming?" She asked as he shook his head. "Ok." Then she saw Botan walking towards her car. "Oh, Yusuke and I are going out today so, do you mind?" She lied as Yusuke looked at her stupidly.
"Not at all Keiko." Botan said stepping away from the car. "Where are you going?" She asked as Keiko thought of something quick.
"To the movies!" She shouted as she hopped in with Yusuke. "Ja ne." She said taking off before Yusuke could say anything. Botan looked to see Kurama walking towards the park.
'Oh yeah that's right.' Botan said in her head as she walked towards the park and saw Kurama sit on the bench and look up in the tree as he began talking to somebody.
"Hey Kurama, I'm here." She said walking over as whatever was in the tree took off, or at least tried hiding. Emi had been sitting on the other side of the tree with a tape recorder.
"Hey Botan." He said as she sat down beside him.
"So?"
"Ok so I wanted you to meet me here because, oh wait-" Kurama said pulling out a Hershey bar and giving it to her. "Keiko said you liked them." He said with a smile as her eyes glowed.
"Thank you Kurama-kun!" She shouted as she gave him a hug and unwrapped the chocolate bar as he began his conversation again.
"So like I was saying, I-" Kurama said looking behind him because he heard something click.
"What is it?" Botan asked nibbling on the chocolate as she looked behind her. Kurama shook his head.
"I thought I heard something." He shrugged as he gave Hiei a glance. "But um, I had a weird dream yesterday." Kurama said shaking his head as he felt a rain drop.
"Oh great." She said as she felt a rain drop also and held her hand out. Kurama heard another click as the two stood to walk. Emi quickly ran off before he looked around the tree.
"Lets go to your house." Botan said taking his elbow into her hand as they ran through the ran. Hiei hopped out the tree and sat under it to keep from getting wet. "Hn." He said watching the two run.
Kurama and Botan ran down the street, splashing in puddles and getting their clothes soaked. As the two ran into Kurama's yard they saw that his mother hadn't gotten back yet and his little brother was just coming.
"Hey Shuichi!" his little brother said jumping off the bus and running to the door before Kurama closed it. Kurama let the boy in and closed the door behind him as he was greeted by his grandmother.
"Hey Shuichi, I have to go, urgent call. Fix little Shuichi his dinner, your kasaan should be home in no time. Sayanora." The old lady said grabbing her bags and her rain coat.
"Ja ne." "Sayanora obaasan." The two boys said as the lady walked out the door. Kurama looked at Shuichi whose clothes were just as soaked as Botan's and himself.
"Shuichi go change your clothes. I will fix your dinner." Kurama ordered as his brother ran into his room. He looked at Botan, "Um. I think I might have something you can fit." Kurama said as she walked into his room.
Kurama put some Oriental 'Oodles and Noodles' on the stove, beans in a pot, and bread in the toaster as he went into his room to change into some more clothes. Botan had just got on something she found.
She turned to see Kurama walking in, "Heh, kind of big." She said as he looked to see some over sized violet pants she found. She covered her belly, "I couldn't find a shirt." She said as they both blushed.
"Uh Sh-shuichi!" Kurama said running out the room to keep his eyes off the girl. "Do you have a shirt that could maybe fit Botan?" He asked as his little brother came out with his fresh clothes on.
"I don't know. Try this." He said tossing a white t-shirt that had Goku on the front. Kurama tossed the shirt to Botan as she looked at it dumbly and laughed at the picture. 'Expects me to wear this.. shirt.' She thought.
She put it on as it came loose enough for her to fit. "It's perfect." She said as Kurama watched her twirl around. The three walked into the kitchen and ate the dinner while the storm seemed to get worse.
They sat on the floor in the den playing Uno as little Shuichi fell asleep on the floor. Kurama took the boy into his room and put him into bed. (it was only seven though u_u)
When Kurama came back he saw Botan lying on the couch looking at a photo album. He walked over and sat beside her on the couch. "Looking at my photo album." He startled her as she gasped.
"Oh yes Kurama-kun. You were quite a cute little fellow." She said laughing. Kurama smiled that smile that could make a girl faint.. all but Botan.
"Would you happen to have any strawberries?" She asked as the last word rung in his ear over and over. He kept his gaze on her, thinking about the dream. "Kurama?"
He jumped, "Oh yeah." He shot up from the couch. "Yeah, they're in the fridge. I think I'll take a shower, help yourself." He said walking to his room to get his clothes and go to the bathroom.
Botan walked into the big kitchen and looked around. 'Wow.' She said going through cabinets and looking in the freezer. She then got to the fridge and took out a container of strawberries.
She skipped down the hall of the house to Kurama's room and hopped onto his bed. She had a hard time opening it and cursed aloud as she finally got it open and the lights went out making her yelp.
"It's ok. I got it." Kurama sung as he came out of the bathroom and opened the power box, flicking the power box on and off but it wouldn't work. "Um, we need some candles." He said grabbing a flash light.
He found a few candles in the den as Botan found some in his room and lit them. Kurama took the little ones he found in his brother's room and sat a few out in the kitchen and the den.
A flash of light lit the house, revealing matches as he lit them all. "There." He said with a sigh. He walked into his room and saw that Botan had already lit candles.
"Um?" He said with hesitation as he saw Botan lying on his bed eating those strawberries. He smiled and walked over to the bed and sat. "Hi." He said making her snicker.
"So what was your dream about?" She asked while fooling with his hair. Thinking of his dream, his head automatically fell into her lap.
She put a strawberry in his mouth and stroked his hair as he relaxed his head in her lap. "I don't believe this." He said, gazing into her pink eyes as she gazed into his emerald ones. "This was my dream." He said laughing.
She laughed. "I don't see why I lied about liking you." She said as he didn't hear her. "You have all the qualities a girl could want in a guy." She complimented.
Kurama couldn't speak. This was a bit weird. Botan, in his house? No. Kurama looked up at Botan again as she looked off towards the window. "What?"
"Nothing." She said smiling as he sat back up and ate a strawberry himself.
"No, what did you say?" He asked as she blushed.
"I said you have all the qualities a girl could want in a guy." Botan said with a small smile. Kurama smiled back.
"And you have all the qualities in a girl that I want." He said looking into her eyes, making her sweat. She forced a smile.
"Arigatou Kurama-kun." She chirped as she felt the urge of kissing him. Instead of just ignoring it, Kurama kissed her unexpectedly. She wanted to return the kiss but didn't as she pushed him a little.
There was a sound of a door opening and two people's voice. Kurama moved away from Botan and got up off the bed. "Well, I guess I should be going now." She said as Shiori came into his room.
"Hey Shuichi-chan." Shiori said looking at the girl. "Hi Botan?" She said in a questioning tone as the lights came on from Kurama's dad's handy work.
"Yeap." Botan said grinning. "I think I'll be going now that the storm is over." She said walking towards the door. Botan turned to give Kurama a small wave before walking out.
Shiori waved at the girl before turning to her son with a small smile. Kurama sighed and returned the smile. He attempted to try to change the subject, "So, how'd it go kasaan?" He asked as he blushed.
