Since i am not going to say anything else at the end i will just say it now. I would like for you to review and tell me if you liked the end. I would also like it if you tell me of a couple you would like to read about. Since i have decided to do other fics with couples you rarely see like this one which was Jin/Botan. Even though Kurama/Botan is my favorite couple i cant seem to write about them so iam going to leave those fics to better writers. Anyways thanks to those who read my fic and i hope you enjoy the end!
I dont own Yuyu Hakusho. Enjoy!
Botan reached the group very happy, Jin noticed. Kurama also reached the group a few seconds later. Everyone was calm and Shizuru was smoking. They were only waiting for Koenma to arrive with a portal.
"Yusuke, before we leave. I've been meaning to ask you something." Botan said. "How did you beat Ineteru?"
Yusuke smirked. "Well, you know when we were both sitting down. I thought he just did it to concentrate on his energy or something so I kind of copied him. But then I was thinking a lot about how much I wanted to beat him that a mental image appeared in my mind about him. Or at least that's what I thought until I noticed his punches really hurt. He was actually trying to get into my mind and torture me but luckily I was able to get him out. It took a lot of my strength away."
"Wow." Kuwabara said. "I never knew anyone could do that."
"Yeah, but now that we are talking about the fights I just want to know how Jin was able to tell them apart. And where the hell did you go Kurama?" Yusuke asked.
"A few days ago, I was attracted by the sound of a flute which distracted me from my training so I went to see who it was. I went all the way to a stream where a very old water demon was playing her flute. I was very close to her and the sound made me turn into my Youko form. She noticed me and simply smiled. I went to her during the fight so she could play her flute and make him lose his concentration."
"That's when I noticed one of the Botan's had black tips." Jin continued solemnly.
Shizuru threw her cigarette away. "Cool. So how about we go celebrate!"
"Yeah!" The group said in unison with the exception of Hiei and Jin.
Koenma appeared a few minutes later after they agreed on going to the ice cream shop. They headed one by one back to ningenkai and into the park where the portal was located.
"We're finally home!" Keiko said stretching and looking around.
"Yup. Now let's go to the ice cream parlor." Kuwabara said already heading towards its direction. It only took a couple of minutes for them to get there and another couple of minutes to get their ice cream. They sat down in a booth and started talking about everything.
"Shizuru, how did you manage to pull off the whole tournament?" Touya asked.
Shizuru smirked. "Easy. With the help of Koenma."
They all turned to Koenma.
"Wha...What?" Koenma stuttered. "It was for your own good since some of you wouldn't train on your own." Koenma said looking directly at Yusuke.
They all laughed and kept on talking for hours. Except Hiei who kept getting up for more ice cream. Once they noticed it was about midnight they decided to go home.
They were outside saying goodbye when Kurama pulled Botan away.
"Hey, I just wanted to remind you about telling the person you love about your feelings." Kurama said.
Botan smiled kindly. "Thank you for everything. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you as a friend."
"Your welcome. I just want to see you happy." Kurama responded. "And now I must leave since I am going to visit my mother. Bye Botan."
"Bye." Botan said giving him a kiss in a cheek before he left. She looked around for Jin and noticed him walking off into the park. She ran after him. "Jin!" she screamed.
He turned around and stopped. "Yeah?"
"I was wondering if you'd like to go for coffee or something." She quickly asked.
"No." Jin responded coldly.
"Please it will only be for a second." Botan continued.
"No." Jin said a little more forcefully.
"But..." Botan began
Jin cut her off. "I said no. Don't you get it? I don't want to be around you!" He said harshly and left flying leaving a hurt Botan behind.
Botan just stood there looking at the spot where Jin had been seconds ago. Then a tear slowly started going down her left cheek. She started running towards the park with tears now falling freely over her delicate face. She ran until she bumped into someone and fell on her but. She quickly stood up. "Sorry." She mumbled as she started walking away again.
"Botan? Wait!" the person she had bumped into said.
She stopped and turned around to face Kurama. "Kurama? What are you doing here?"
"I was just taking a walk. But what happened? Why are you crying?" He asked as he dried her tears with his thumb.
Botan looked down and didn't say anything.
Kurama lead Botan towards an empty bench. She then started crying again on his shoulder and he patted her hair. He let her cry until she was asleep. He lifted her up and carried her to his apartment. He gently placed her on his bed and slept on the couch.
That morning Botan woke up startled. "Where am I?" she asked herself. Her question was answered when Kurama walked in through the door with breakfast on a tray.
"Good morning. Here is some breakfast." He said placing it on her lap.
"Thank you. But how did I get here?" she asked.
Kurama smiled. "You fell asleep on my shoulder so I decided to bring you here and let you sleep."
"Oh. Thanks." Botan said as she started eating. Kurama went to sit in a chair by a corner and just looked at her eat. When she was finished Kurama removed the tray and went to sit by her.
"Botan, please tell me what happened."
Botan looked away. "Okay." She whispered. "First I think you should know that I love Jin."
"Jin?" Kurama said astonished.
"Yeah. But last night…Last night he said he didn't want to be anywhere near me." Botan whispered, a tear falling down her cheek.
"What? Why?" Kurama asked furiously.
"I don't know." Botan sobbed.
Kurama stood up. "I'll be back later."
"Wait! Where are you going?" she asked before he could reach the door.
"I just have to do some errands." Kurama assured her. "Now, go back to sleep you seem tired."
Botan nodded. "Thanks again for…for everything."
"Your welcome." Kurama said heading out the door.
Kurama soon arrived at his destination. Genkai's temple where Jin and Touya were currently residing in. He swiftly went up the stairs and knocked. Yukina opened the door and stepped aside to let Kurama in.
"Good morning Kurama. I dint expect you here." Yukina said sweetly.
"Good morning Yukina. Sorry to arrive this early but I must speak with Jin urgently." Kurama responded.
"Okay, just a second." Yukina said walking off in search of Jin.
She returned just minutes after. "I am sorry Kurama but Jin refuses to come see you."
"Don't worry about it Yukina, just tell me where he is now." Kurama said as kindly as he could at that moment.
"Well, he's in his room now. It's the third one to the right." Yukina responded.
"Thanks." Kurama said heading the way Yukina pointed out. He reached the door and knocked. He was very angry but he remembered his manners.
"Who is it?" A voice said from behind the door.
"Kurama." He sort of growled by mistake.
"Go away. I do not wish to speak to you." Jin said solemnly.
"Well, your gonna have to." Kurama said knocking the door down. He marched into the room where Jin jumped of the bed. Kurama walked straight towards him and grabbed him by the neck. Then he pinned him against the wall. His eyes turned golden. "How dare you make Botan cry?" He growled.
"I would never do such a thing. And even if I did you're there to comfort her." Jin said.
"The only problem is that she doesn't want me to comfort her she want you!" Kurama growled back.
Jin looked confused. "What?"
Kurama tightened his grip on Jin's throat. "Don't pretend that you didn't know she loved you!"
"I...I didn't." Jin managed to whisper.
Kurama frowned and let Jin fall to the ground. "Well now you know." He said heading to the door.
"Wait!" Jin said gaining his breath back. "I thought you two were together since I saw you two kiss in the locker rooms."
"I was the one that kissed her and she pulled away. And you should ask before you assume anything. I also suggest that if you love her you will go to the park tonight around seven with some flowers and an apology ready." Kurama said leaving a bouquet of roses on the bed and leaving the temple.
Jin stared at the bouquet and picked it up carefully. He put it in water so they wouldn't be dry by that night and went out to get something else.
Botan had just woken up again when she heard the door to the apartment open. She stood up and went to greet Kurama who was sitting on the couch looking at his hands.
"Kurama? Are you alright?" she asked sitting down next to him.
He turned to look at her. "Yeah. But tell me. Do you really love Jin that much?"
"Unfortunately yes." Botan said looking down.
Kurama then looked up and smiled. "Come on, we are going out for some fun."
"What? But I don't have anything to wear!" Botan protested.
"Don't worry. We'll pass by the mall." Kurama said pulling Botan off the couch and grabbing his keys. They were quickly out of the house and in the mall.
"Let's go there!" Botan said as she noticed a clothing store full of pink.
"Fine." Kurama followed her in and Botan started grabbing as much as she could carry. Then she headed to the dressing rooms where Kurama had to sit for hours commenting on how she looked in the clothes she tried on.
After a couple of hours Botan came out wearing a black sleeve less dress that reached her knees in the front and her ankles on the back. It had Sakura blossoms all around. She looked gorgeous. Kurama was speechless, and for an instant Kurama thought of just taking her away from everything and everyone, especially Jin. But that moment quickly passed knowing Botan's happiness lied in the arms of Jin.
"You look magnificent." Kurama said. "You should buy that."
Botan looked hesitant. "I don't know, I mean it's so fancy and I have no where to take it to."
"Don't worry, tonight we will go to one of my favorite restaurants and you can wear it."
"Really? Thank you! You do way too much for me!" Botan said hugging Kurama.
Kurama smiled. "Go change and I'll buy it, and then we can go home and relax until its time to get ready."
"Okay. I'll be right back." Botan said heading into the dressing rooms and coming out just minutes after. They paid for it and then went back to Kurama's apartment where they watched a movie and ate popcorn. Then around five they started getting ready.
Botan changed into her dress and Kurama into his white suit. He looked extremely handsome. Then they headed out and took Kurama's Ferrari instead of his regular car. He drove to a very elegant French restaurant.
"It's amazing." Botan said once inside.
"I know. That's why it's my favorite."
Their waiter came towards them. "Your table is ready, Mr. Minamino."
They followed the waiter and found themselves in a table for two with a candle in the middle. "Thank you." Botan said as the waiter pulled out the chair for her and then back in when she sat down.
"Would you like anything to drink now?" he asked them.
"Water please." Botan said.
"Same for me." Kurama responded.
The waiter left them for a few minutes and later returned with their drinks and menu's.
"What should I get?" Botan asked Kurama.
"I suggest the French soup. It's really good." He responded.
Botan smiled. "Okay then, I'll get the French soup."
"I'll have the same." Kurama told the waiter who once again left and later returned with their food.
"So do you like it?" Kurama asked.
"Yeah. It's delicious."
"Good." He said as they continued eating.
Once done they ordered desert that consisted of fruit and ice cream. They talked and laughed for a while before leaving.
Botan was heading towards the car when Kurama pulled her another direction. "Let's take a walk."
"Okay." She said as they walked towards the park. They walked side by side in silence until Kurama sensed someone.
"Botan, its getting late and I don't want you to walk all the way back to the car so I am going to go get it and you go wait for me by that bench." Kurama said pointing at a bench just few steps away.
"Umm...Alright." she responded a bit hesitant.
Kurama quickly left and was out of sight in an instant. Botan started walking towards the bench when she abruptly stopped at the sight of Jin just a few feet away. Botan turned around and started walking away.
"Botan Wait!" Jin screamed running after her.
"What? I am getting away from you just like you wanted." Botan screamed back.
"No. I mean. I don't want you away from me. I made a mistake." Jin explained handing her the roses.
She looked at the roses and slowly received them. "Why did you tell me you didn't want me anywhere near you?" she asked in a whisper.
"Like I said, I made a mistake. I saw you and Kurama kissing back in the locker rooms and I got jealous. And mad which led me to saying all those horrible things. Then Kurama told me how it was him who kissed you. But the truth is that I…I love you."
Botan looked at his eyes. "I love you too."
Jin took out a small box from his pocket and opened it revealing a golden chain with a peony pendant. He carefully placed around Botan's neck. And then under the light of the full moon and stars Jin smiled and picked Botan up swinging her around and then kissing her on the lips. It was their first kiss and defiantly not their last.
