"Kurama, I know what you feel about Botan," Koenma is sitting in his chair, teenage form and staring at Kurama seriously. "But Kurama, I will not allow your relationchip, you can't love her."
Kurama raised one eyebrow."You can't manipulate me, Koenma."
"If you two will have that kind of relationship, then she'll have to lose her job. You know how she love her job, Kurama. It is where she is happy, are you willing for her to give up her happiness?"
Kurama only stared at him. Koenma knows how strong Kurama is. He can kill him in a flick of his fingers. But then, he must risk it. He don't want for Botan to choose Kurama, he love her. And he'll do this just to have her.
Kurama is very angry now. He can't kill Koenma, he know Botan will hate him forever. That's he's weakness is, Botan. he will not kill Koenma if the prize is Botan. No, he will loose his life if that will happen. Without a word, he walked out the room. There is a tournament the next day. He must rest.
"And Kurama…" Kurama stopped to hear what Koenma's going to say. "I'll not allow Botan to go to the tournament, I can't risk it." Kurama's eyes widened, turning into a familiar silver pnes. Koenma didn't even blink an eye to find him gone.
The boys of the Urameshi team are staying in one room and the girls to another one. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei all stared at once when Kurama came and closed the door. His spirit energy is going up fast.
"Kurama, what's the matter?" Yusuke looked at his friend, his eyes widening as Shuichi turned into Youko Kurama. Kurama slowly walked to the glass door leading to the veranda without opening it. Only staring outside, trying to still his anger. Suddenly he screamed, and all of a sudden, plants started to grow on the room.
"Kurama! What the hell… stop that! What's happening to yOu?" Yusuke stepped forward to his friend when Hiei stopped him.
"Do you want to die?"
"Hiei, he will not hurt us."
"You're so damn stupid. He's angry. Very angry. You can't stop him. He will not calm down."
The door suddenly open and the three boys looked at Keiko, Yukina and Botan standing outside. They walked inside the room.
"Hi! We thought we could go out for a while." Keiko said, her eyes widened when she saw Kurama, the other girls eyes also widened.
"Kurama!" botan esclaimed. She looked at Yusuke."What happened?"
"Yusuke only shrugged his shoulders. Knowing she must asks Kurama, Botan slowly walked to Kurama.
"B-botan! Hey! You must-" Yusuke tried to stop Botan but Hiei stopped him again. "Baka human. Don't you understand? If there's anyone who can calm Kurama, its her!"
Keiko pushed them to the door. "Let's go guys, I think they should be alone." She said to them before slowly closing the door.
"Kurama?" Botan slowly walked to Kurama then she gently touched his arm. "Kurama, What's wrong? Are youᅳ" suddenly Kurama grabbed her hand, pushed her to him and EMBRACED her! Her whole body stiffened. But she relaxed instantly as she realized how gentle is his embrace.
"Botan," the plants slowly began to vanish and Youko Kurama slowly beginning to be His normal self again. "Botan," he brush his cheek to her hair as he breathed her name again. "Botan,"
"Kurama?" she can feel his energy slowly reducing. Maybe he had weakened because of what happened. She can feel himsagged to her. "Kurama! C'mon, let's go to bed…"
Kurama smirked, "Great idea."
Botan assisted him to his bed and then tucked him with a blanket. After looking at him for some minutes, she rised to leave him alone. But he suddenly grabbed her hand, she thought he was asleep.
"Kurama? Oh… you're still awake I thought…."
"Don't leave me…"
"Kurama?"
"Don't leave me…"
he's eyes were still closed. "Of. Course Kurama," she sat again beside him in the bed. "I'll not leave you."
"Promise me you will not leave me…. Promise me will not go…. Botan…"
A smile slowly stretched her lips. Even if there is no promise, she will not leave him. She love Kurama… why should she leave, when he is her life. " I promise Kurama, I will not leave," she lightly brushed the hair from his forehead."Ever."
