Don't own Yu Yu Hakusho
"Speech"
'Thought'
Dinner Diaster
Kurama sighed for the umpteenth time, someone, Kuwabarra, had told his parents about his relationship with Botan. Not the whole thing, mind you, but enough that they would want to meet her. So now they were interrogating him.
"So how long have you been dating her?" Shiori asked
"About a year" Kurama winced slightly.
"How did you meet her?" Kazuya asked
"Through a mutual friend." Kurama replied.
"When did you think about inviting her over?" Kazuya asked.
'Never' Kurama thought, but actually said" I don't know, but most likely before the before I graduate." Kurama lied/ A year ago had been the Dark Tournament. He and Botan had gotten together then, but about 6 months ago there had been a scared in Spirit World and they had to get married, Keiko and Yusuke, Kuwabarra and Yukina, much to Hiei's displeasure, him and Hinageshi and finally Kurama and Botan.
The scare had been fact but they were still married even after all that had happened. Although, no one outside the group knew that. At the moment though, Kurama did not want his parents to know. Maybe in a year or two, but not know.
"Well how about we meet her. We can all have dinner tomorrow. She can meet us then, though I must say I'm disappointed that you haven't mentioned her before." Shiori suggested.
" I'm sorry mother, but I believe that she is free tomorrow night. But right now, may I go to bed?"
"Alright Shuichi. Good night" Shiori replied.
"Good night, mother, father" Kurama said as he went up the stairs. As he reached his room, he locked the door, and changed into a pair of boxers and a T-shirt; brushed his teeth and slipped into bed. There was movement beside him.
"'Bout time" a sleepy voice came.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" Kurama asked.
"No sweetie," Botan answered as she snuggled closer to him. Kurama placed his arm around her, bring her right up to him.
"Botan?" Kurama whispered
"Hmm?" She mumbled.
"You have to come to dinner tomorrow"
"Why?"
"My parents found out we were dating"
"How?"
"Kuwabarra"
"Damn him,"
"I know"
"I'll go"
"Thank you"
"You owe me"
"Alright"
"Tonight?"
"Tomorrow"
"Fine"
With that they fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day they both woke up early. Taking a quick shower and got dress for the day; Kurama in his school uniform, while Botan in her kimono. Botan summed her oar, and kissed Kurama before heading off to spirit World. After she was gone, Kurama headed downstairs.
"Good morning Shuichi" Shiori said as she gave Kurama some pancakes.
"Good Morning Mother" Kurama replied.
"So… what did she say, I know you must have called her last night to tell her about dinner?" Shiori stated.
"Well, she said she'd come" Kurama replied.
"What's her favorite meal?" Shiori asked
"She likes everything, but mother, your not jealous of Botan are you?" Kurama asked
"No," Shiori lied, her checks turning red as she said that. Kurama knowing her had lied, but decided to let her get away with it said,
"Alright, but just so you know, you don't have to worry about her replacing you in my heart. That could never happen. SO don't worry about it. Oh, and be nice, if anything, she's more worried about meeting you than you are of meeting her." Kurama replied.
"Shuichi…"
"Mother, don't worry about it. Alright." Kurama said as he stood up. "I must go, I don't want to be late." With that Kurama kissed his mother on the check and left.
The school day past quickly and soon Kurama was on his way home. He had talked to Botan in between classes and told her to wear something casual. He had heard from Hiei that Hinageshi would be helping Botan chose an outfit for the dinner. He just hoped that everything went smoothly.
Finally the time for the dinner came and Botan rang the doorbell, Shuiichi answered it. Botan was wearing a light blue dress that reached just above her knees, it had spaghetti straps and she wore a jean jacket over it. She kept her hair in her usual Ponytail, while putting on dark blue eye shadow and light purple lipstick.
"Hello, I'm here for the dinner." Botan smiled. Shuiichi blushed "You must be Shuiichi. I'm Botan."
"Yea…come in and umm…Welcome" Shuiichi said as he moved out of the doorway.
"Thank you" Botan said as she moved inside.
"I'll get Shuichi." Shuiichi said as he left to get Kurama.
"Okay" Botan said as Shuiichi left.
Shiori came out from the kitchen to see Botan. "Hello, I'm Shiori. I'm Shuichi's mom."
"Hello, I'm Botan. It's nice to finally meet you."
"What do you mean finally?" Shiori asked.
"Well your son never stop talking about you. He's told me all about you." Botan answered.
"Really, well I hope it's all been good things." Shiori replied.
"It has…" Botan started before she was interrupted.
"Well I see you've met my mother"
"Shuichi, when did you get down here?" Shiori asked. He was wearing a forest green turtle neck with pair of black slacks.
"I just came down. Shuiichi informed me that Botan was here. Besides, Botan I want to introduce you to my step-father Kazuya Hatanaka" Kurama introduced the man next to him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Hatanaka" Botan said as she bowed.
"Please call me Kazuya" Kazuya stated, as he returned the bow. He then pointed to the living room. "Let's sit down and talk while we wait for dinner."
"Alright" Botan nodded somewhat hesiently, as she and Kuramawalkedinto the livingroom. As they sat down, thequestions started (coughinterogationcough)
"So Botan, How old are you?" Shiori asked
"I'm 16" Botan replied.
"What school do you go to?" Kazuya asked
"I'm home-Schooled by my great aunt" Botan replied.
"What do your parents do?" Shiori asked
"Well my mom died when I was young...but my dad's a...a funeral home person...thing" Botan lied.
"Oh...so he sees a lot of corpes right?" Kazuya asked
"Not as many as you would think" Botan smiled.
"Yea, cause we haave to deal with them" Kurama mumbled quietly. Botan elbowed him.
" So what are your plans after you graduate school?" Shiori asked
"I really don't know, I think I might open up my own store...that would benice" Botan answered
"How long have you known Shuichi?" Shiori asked
"Well...about twoyears? Yea, that's about right, we met through a mutal friend." Botan replied...it was only a partial lie, since they did met throughYusuke...only that Yusuke was fighting Hiei, and Kurama had gotten a sword in his stomach at that moment. SuddenlyBotan feltKurama tense next to her.
"How far alongis your relationship?" Kazuya asked.
"What do you mean?" Botan said as she felt a sudden chillin her stomach.
"Howfar alongis your relationship?" Kazuya asked again
'Botan, a demon's attacking' Kurama sent telepathicly.
'Don't you dare leave me' Botan replied
'But Botan, the others mightneed myhelp' Kurama responded
"He means have you two had..." Shiori started
"Dinner!" Kurama said as he suddenly stoodup "Dinner should be ready right?" A sudden realization dawned on Botan as sheturned to Kurama, a look in her eye that clearly said. 'You leave.You die. Painfully'
"Oh, you right...It should, how about we all go over to the table. I'll get the food."
The five of them made there way to the table and sat down. Kurama and Botan, on oneside. Shuiichi and Shioriopposite them,and Kazuya at the head of the table.
"The food's really good Shiori, It's some of the best I've ever had" Botan stated.
"Why thank you Botan." Shiori replied as she smiled at the complement.
"What do you think about itdear." Botanasked
"What?" Kurama blinked "What were you saying Botan?"
"The food...it's good." Botan replied while she mentally replied 'don't worry so much, everything will be fine. he's probably already been taken care of.'
"Oh, the food is delisous," Kurama smiled at his mother 'the fight's gotten closer to our position.' Botan's eyes widen a fraction, before she nodded.
"Oh, that's nice to hear" Shiori smiled.
"So tell me Shuiichi, how old are you? I don't know that much about you" Botan said, trying to start up a conversation. Shuiichi blushed.
"I'm 12" Shuiichi replied
"What else?"
"I don't know, what else do you want to know?" Shuiichi asked blushing
"Umm, how about, your favorite color, What school you go to, any embarassing stories of Shuichi" Botan answered
"Hey!" Kurama exclaimed,
"well, my favorite color is Dark blue and..." Shuiichi was cut off with someone flying throught the window. Kurama was immediately on his feet, pushing Botan behind him.
"Kurama..." Botan started
"Kourone?" Kurama said his eyes growing wide at the person on the table.
"Umm, sorry about that but...epp" Kourone said as he did a backflip to miss an energy ball.
"Alright...Petals and Thorns Hurricane!"Razor sharp petals started to rotate around the room. "Botan, get my parents and Shuiichi out of here. I'll stay and help stop this guy."
"Gotcha." Botan said as she moved to help Kaxuya, Shiori and Shuiichi escape the room.
As soon as the door closed Kourone looked over at the red haired human.
"Who are you?" Kouroneasked.
"I'mKurama" Kurama replied as he pulledout his rose whip and started to attack the demon who had thrown the energy ball.
Botan got all three of the family members into another room.
"Botan, what's going on?" Shiori asked
"Well, we were having a nice dinner that was just interupted by a two demons. The one that flew throught the window was an old friend of Kurama named Kourone." Botan explained quickly.
"Whose Kurama?" Kazuya asked.
"ummm, Shuichi's nick name" Botan replied, realizing she gave away a big secret.
"Oh" Kazuya replied.
Working together Kurama and Kourone quickly defeated the demon that interupted dinner.
"Are you really Kourone?" Kurama asked
"Are you really Yoko Kurama?" Kourone asked
"What's the name of my mate?" Kurama asked
"You don't have one. What's the name of my mother?" Kourone asked
"Migi" Kurama replied.
"Kurama!"
"Kourone! You're alive!"
"So are you"
"I have a mate now."
"Really?"
"Yeah, her name is Botan"
"Can I meet her?"
"Sure. Follow me" Kurama said as he led Kourone to the room where is family was.
"Koi...your alive." Botan shouted as she jumped on him." I thought you would have died."
"I'm fine Botan. Yo ualways worry to much."Kurama replied "Botan, I wantyou to meet Kourone"
"You mean THE Kourone?" Botan asked
"yea." Kurama replied
"Well Hello"
"Hi" Kourone answered.
"Kourone this is my family...My mother, father and brother"
"Hello, It's a pleasure meeting you." Kourone said as he bowed. The rest of the family exchanged greating with Kourone, as well as ask about the wings.
Later that night.
"You know this will be interesting to explain to the others." Botan said.
"I know"
"You also know that this was just a disasterright?"
"I know"
"But what else is new?"
"Nothing,except we got a new friend, and things aregoing toget intersting around here" Kurama said as he hugged her.
