Author's Note: I'm really happy because we won 3rd place in the contest and I know I didn't updated soon well its because I'm making a draft for this story and I'm busy with my new Botan and Shuuichi story entitled Revenge And Love. So hope you understand and here's chapter twenty-one for you guys to enjoy.
RECAP:
Shuuichi took the rings in his hand and stared at the white envelope with hesitation before he finally decided to open and read the content.
Dear Shuuichi,
I would like to thank you for showing me the life I can never have. Now that the contract is over and Mr. Johnson is now leaving any day now I'm leaving as well. About the amount of money you'll pay me for pretending, I don't want it for you given me enough already. I'm returning both rings to you. The wedding ring and the engagement ring for you to give it to the one you intended to be with. I'm also leaving the clothes you bought me behind; it's all up to you to do what you want to them. I'm leaving and don't even bother to find me (If ever your thinking) and don't ask why for I have my reasons but I hope we'll always be friends.
Yours Sincerely
Botan Furuya
After reading the letter Shuuichi didn't know what to feel. His angry because Botan left without saying goodbye and even told him not to look for her, his sad because he might never see her again but he'll do what she ask him to do. He will not look for her but God knows how much he wanted to.
'God I leave everything to you.' Shuuichi thought as he dresses himself and drove toward Minamino Estate.
Chapter Twenty-One: Decision Made
Hiei help Botan to carry her belongings to her house before leaving for a date. Botan started to gather her clothes she needed to laundry and started the washing machine before picking up the letters that was left in her doorstep. Botan started to flip the letters when she suddenly stop when her eyes was caught by a letter address to her from a different country.
Botan opened the letter and read the content that made her eyes wide in shocked…

'I got the job, I can't believe I got the job.' Botan said as she put the letter on the kitchen table and went to her room.
Botan's POV'What am I going to do?' Botan asked herself tears started to fall, the very same tears that she can't hold back anymore
'Perhaps you would want to send an e-mail telling them that you would accept the job.' A voice in the back of her head suggested
'Why will I tell them I'm accepting the job when I'm not sure anymore.' Botan asked really confuse on what she really want now
'Botan, Shuuichi doesn't love you, you know that and beside you want to start a new life and forget all about him, and well this is a good chance.' The voice said as it put some sence into her brain that had made up Botan's mind.
END OF POVBotan went to her computer and e-mailed her response to the letter before she decided to go to Keiko's house and tell her the good news and the bad news at the same time.
Minamino's Estate…"Shuuichi, your home, but where's Botan?" Mr. Johnson asked as he looks at him and looks around for a sign of Botan but none came
"She's not with me." Shuuichi said with no emotion kind a like the living dead (A/N: You know what I mean like his alive but his dead at the same time for he had no emotion left. Sorry if you don't get it I just can't explain it even more.)
"What do you mean she's not with you? You left with her yesterday and neither one of you had returned." Mr. Johnson said confuse
"She was with me yesterday but a while ago when I woke up, I didn't find her anywhere."
"She left you alone, why?" Mr. Johnson asked, "Is it because sahe knows that I already know the truth?"
"No, he left me a letter saying she was leaving for the contract was ending for you'll be leaving for America in about two or three days time." Shuuichi said feeling real miserably "She also told me not to look for her." Shuuichi added as some of the weight had been lifted from his chest
"Do you want to talk about it?" Mr. Johnson asked even thought he knew that the both of them loves each other he still didn't said anything to them thinking that the both of them will eventually find out from their self but now he was thinking 'Did he done the right thing, by remaining silent for all this times?'
"Not Really." Shuuichi answered, "I just want to be alone for a while."
"I understand but can you answer my question?" Mr. Johnson asked looking at Shuuichi who nod. "Are you going to try and find her?"
"She doesn't want me to find her." Shuuichi simply answered
"And you believe that." Mr. Johnson said not ask but before Shuuichi could figure out if it was a question or a statement Mr. Johnson had disappeared to his room leaving him deep in thoughts.
Shuuichi went up to the room he and Botan had shared and even though she was no longer here, he can feel her presence, her favorite perfume can be smelled, the fragrant of her shampoo can be smelled in the bathroom and of course the memory of her still lingered in the room o rather in the whole house making him miss her presence even more.
I know, I know, its too short but hey! As what I'm always telling you I'm not great in long chapters and beside long chapters drains my idea and I think this chapter sucks but you still have the last say so tell me what you think and you can only do that by reviewing. Also about the poll well I'm going to save it for a while I'm just going to focus ion Game Called Love, Double Trouble and Revenge And Love for a while all are which is a Shuuichi and Botan story.
