Hi!

It's me again!

Sorry for delay!

Thanks to those who reviewed!

And may I present you….

Chapter eleven

"Botan?" Keiko was shocked to see Botan.

"Keiko…"

"Why are you here? Kurama and the others are looking for you for so three days now!" Keiko said slightly angry at her friend.

"I'm sorry if I worried you, you see I had only got the guts to say I'm sorry to Kurama… just today…"

"Where have you been?"

"Well, I returned to Reikai and talked to him… then…"

Kurama's school…

Kurama sighed again, he longed to get out of here, to be able to look for Botan, but then he had been absent for three days now and anyway there's no class tomorrow, he'll look for her the whole day.

The bell rang, so he got up to ready his things for home. When he passed through the hallway, as usual, he got the giggles and the stares of the girls. He heard about a new boy this morning and the whole school had talked about him, especially girls. He'll appreciate him if ever he took their interest in him besides he already loves someone else, and she's missing right now.

"Kurama!" Yusuke and the others are waiting at the gate, probably to help him look for Botan again. She had been gone for three days now… it seems like a lifetime.

When he's about to pass the gate, he caught some scent and the ki of a demon. He looked at the way, looking at the guy walking to him. The new gut in school. He readied himself, the guy isn't a human. He knew the others also felt him. But the scent is familiar, so is the ki… seems like it is…

"KURONUE!" Kurama's eyes turned to saucers as he looked at his former partner. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Kurama… I didn't see you for a long time, but then you look…um…great…but you're more handsome when you transfor to…mmm-hhmm" just then Kurama quickly covered Kuronue's mouth with his hand, cutting whatever his saying and looking around for someone who had heard it. seems like no one did.

"Shut up," Kurama whispered to his ear. "You're in Ningenkai, you're not in Makai, and whose guarding out lair?"

"Your plants, of course, its really boring there since we parted and started a new life. But then I met someone that make me want to live here in Ningenkai…"

Kurama looked at him curiously and so is his other friends. "Well, I met her three days ago, she's crying her heart out. I saw her when I was looking for food. She was slump on a tree, not caring that she can be eaten by any Youkai. I approached her and asked what's the problem and she said, "I don't know where to stay," so I said that she's welcome in our lair. She stayed there for three days, but its enough for me to fall in love with her. She knows that I'm your partner but when I asked if she knows you… she just nodded and cried again, but she said that she'll also go back to Ningenkai… I followed her here and am now in human form… what's the matter?"

Kurama is looking at him. He had never saw that look before, it seems like he's so… sad.

"what's her name?" he asked to me.

"Well, her names…" then he noticed that they all looked at him, even Kurama's friend.

"What?"

"Botan… her names Botan…"

Then he was startled when Kurama quickly grasped hisc collar, "Where is she?"

"Hey, I don't know, that what I want to ask you… I want to…" then Kuronue caught her scent… making him stop. Kurama suddenly let go of his collar and looked at the gate.

There stood Botan with keiko

She's still beautiful… but a little pale and thin, and she had tears in her eyes. Kurama's still shock and he felt his muscles refuse to move.

"kurama…" botan began, she breathed and tried again. And that break Kurama's spell, her voice, "kurama… I'm…" Botan didn't get to continue apologizing when Kurama run and embraced her.

"Botan…" kurama said as he buried his face to her hair, caressing her back and hugging her tighter. "Botan… I was so worried about you…" he didn't care that others are staring, all that matters now is that she came back in his arms.

Botan began to tremble and she sobbed his name. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt, I'm so sorry…"

"Sshhh…" Kurama said as he kissed her forehead and then touched it with his own. "It's n ot your fault love, it was never your fault…" he said as he kissed her tears. "All that matters is that you cam back…" he said as he touched her cheek, tears also forming in his eyes. He looked at her. "I love you, Botan… I love you so much…" he said as he kissed her lips.

"I love you too, Kurama…" Botan said not realizing that Kuronue looked away as they kissed while Kurama's other friends are happy for them.

Never realizing that her words broke his heart.

Never even realized that he loves her too…
