Chapter three

She felt a hand touched her hand. She stirred, a smile forming her lips. She must have slept while waiting for Kurama to wake up. She looked at him, blinking when she caught him staring at her. Her smile widened, making him look away and blush. "You're awake, how're you feeling?"

"Okay."

"Ummmm… do you want some water? I could get it for you."

He just nodded as she rose and filled a glass of water. Its still early, she saw as the dark sky's beginnig to welcome the rays of the rising sun. then she noticed how the other Keiko sleeping on a chair at the foot of Yusuke's bed. Yukina and Shizura are on the sofa, both still asleep. She returned to give Kurama the glass of water. He tried to sit, resting his back on the pillows. She gave the glass and he slowly drank the water.

"they are all tired. Still, you had taken the severest wounds, you slept the day away."

"I was not in the mood to fight."

"Then why? Why didn't you fought? You could have ended it without getting a scratch, but no you just stood there, takin what he gives to you, you could have died!" she knew that this isn't what he should get after the fight but then she would want to know what the hell happened there, why he risk his life over something like a weak demon. She became aware that her friends had woke up, she could feel the eyes staring at her.

"You were not there…" his voice were just a whisper, she couldn't have heard it if she isn't close enough. "You said you will not leave me…"

he had done that because of her? But… why? Is she that important to him? "Kurama, even if I'm miles away, I'll always be there for you, in here." She said pointing to his heart. Feeling a burning sensation at the of her finger. Realizing what she had done, she hurriedly removed it. To be caught by his hand.

"You're with him. You chose to go to him."

"Kurama I couldn't be there with you all the time,"

"I know, but you promised you'll not go,"

"But I came back, Kurama, I came back, even if Koenma will be angry with me,"

"But…"

"Kurama… I couldn't be with y ou all the time. There will be time when I must leave you.. soon," she saw his eyes widened, his hand tightening the hold on her hand, pressing to his heart. "But I'll always come back to you, Kurama, I'll always come back as long as possible." She said as the light came back to his eyes, the green orbs changing to silver ones.

"BOTAN!" Koenma's voice vibrated through the room. All eyes looked at the door that was opened harshly, Koenma, (teen form) walked inside the room. Anger is visible in his eyes.

Botan swallowed, "Koenma…"

"Botan? I told you not to come! I commanded you! But you didn't obey me!" Koenma is very angry he clenched his fist.

"B-But Koenma-sama, I-I can't help it. I want to be there for my friends."

"Let's go back Botan," Koenma's eyes stared at Kurama. "Let's go," his hand extended to her, willing for her to go with him.

Botan doesn't know what to do. She looked at Kurama, silently asking him what to do. Kurama smiled at her, "Go… and when you can, come back to me," Botan nodded. And silently walked to Koenma but didn't take his hand. Botan almost got outside when she stopped and run back to Kurama, she gently kissed his forehead. "Bye…" she run and waved her hand to her friends,"Bye, guys!" then summoning her oar, she flew away.

Koenma and Kurama still stared at each other. "Stay away." He said before walking outside the room.

"Whoa! What's his problem?" Kuwabara asked to his friends.

Yusuke shrugged, "I had not seen him that angry before…"

Kurama only stared outside as his friends fought about Koenma's outburst.

At Reikai…

"No, Botan,"

"Again? But, Koenma-sama, I just want to see if they're alright," Botan stomped her feet in anger.

"No."

"What's the matter with you? I had been there in every tournament they fought, but now…"

"Botan, I can't risk…" Koenma caught himself, he almost said to her what's the real reason. No, it'll only make her go to the tournament.

"Can't risk what?" Botan walked to his desk, "What's your problem? The real problem? I want to be there… I want to know if they're alright…" specially Kurama.

"NO! I can't risk you falling in love with Kurama! You can't!"

Botan stared, dumbfounded, the she smiled bitterly, "But it's too late now Koenma…"

"too… late?" Koenma's heart beat faster. No, it can't be…pls… no…

But Botan told him what he feared the most. Looking to his eyes, she said… "I already love him."
