In human society, great pains are often taken to hide one's sexual preferences.
Society has often had it talked of, known but never spoken pubicly. Hitler condemned them, Americans were ina transition period, Japanese kept their secrets as well as the Romans had.
That had been his own keen observation when he became an exchange student for Boston to only get accepted at his second-choiced school in San Fransico.
He had been brought into a world were it was deemed normal to show a likeness for the same sex or even both. He had his experimentation period over but it was a new experience for he knew that he had accepted something that was as plain as day around him.
He was in love. His love was very different from Yusuke's or Kuwabara's. Theirs were devoted and known, even celebrated, while his was secret and unconditional.
For he had fallen in love with the wrong people. That's right, people.
He had fallen in love with what he called a complete soul.
A complete soul was when two half-souls come together, finding their mathcing hald an were completed upon their first kiss.
Youko's unusual attraction to the Reaper diety had not alone proved, but showed his own jealousy towards the one who Kurama was attracted to.
In a way, Youko was his half-soul, but they could never have a true complete soul for demons needed to consummate with their chosen other. They were just two halves fused with easily broken glue if they tried hard enough to break, but Kurama and Youko would never admit that they needed each other.
(Boy, I want her now.)
'Youko! She is claimed. Besides, I'm not attracted to her like you are.' Kurama sighed, putting his hand through his bangs noting that he needed to clip the ends soon. He often had to think of ways to get out of the worst situations.
Like this one.
(I don't care.) Kurama felt his chest tighten as Youko tried to force himself out of the subconcious of his half-soul. Calming the somewhat overeager fox demon, Kurama returned his sight to the bubbly Grim Reaper. Truth was, he was atrtracted to her as much as he was to Hiei.
To him, they were the same.
Two people but one soul.
He wanted to tell Botan first since he knew that Hiei's overprotective instincts would override his reasoning which let them take control of the situation, unfortunately.
Fate was actually a pretty funny diety with a wild hairstyle and wonderfully useful quirks at times, Too bad she found humor in misfortune as well in the worst drama of them all; love.
Kurama cursed to himself as he watched blue hair falling, cascading upon a large seagreen sweater. Fate loved picking on Youko for reasons unknown unless it was that poker debt he owed her or the time he stole her favorite ring and necklace set.
Black dragons with red eyes and blue peonies with magenta soft petals. Hiei and Botan, one soul, his loves and his own sexual preferences. Love was simply love.
"Botan……" He finally voiced his words into the one-sided conversation. She responded with a smile meant for life. "I have to ask something…..you'll probably be unable to do it because of certain complications but I really hope that you can grant it for me."
"What is it, Kurama?" Her gentle eyes probed into a moss of emerald green with a clarity he was sure she'd never knew she had. Yes, Botan had been the best choice to ask for his favor. She would understand his unfortunate love, after all, she fell in love from a mark that she never knew she was going to get. (She still remembered pissing Fate off earlier that week somehow.)
"Well, I'm turning nineteen next week and since San Francisco I have been pondering upon my love life. Y'see, Botan, I love two people. They're a complete soul. To me, they're actually like one person in two bodies…" The fox watched her undivided atterntion. She would understand it seemed.
"Do I know them?" The demon nodded his head to affirm her question. Her brain went to work as soon as she saw him answer. "Well, go on! I'm sorry to have interrupted you!" She smiled cheerfully, forgetting what she'd been doing.
"It is perfectly all right. Anyway, these two people are a mand and a woman and I want……that is to say….." He weakly mumbled to Botan .The Grim Reaper blinked as she understood the rest of his mumble.
"You want to make love with them on your birthday?" Her eyes were wide as she blushed slightly. Kurama nodded, green ivy eyes spinning reality as he stood at the precipe of a shut down or not. Botan immediately shot up!
"BINGO! Is it Yusuke and Keiko?" Magenta eyes shrunk in size as Kurama met the café table with his face.
"N-No! Not them!"
"I was about to say. Yusuke is way anti-men. Kuwa-"
"NO." He growled as he extracted himself from the table top.
"Hiei and myself then?" So she had pegged it down. Her conviction backed by the sad truth in the demon's eyes. So it was them.
"Botan, I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality or the people you love." With a small smile, the reaper placed her hand over his and patted it, reassuringly.
"We'll see." A gentle promise between two friends and Kurama knew he was right in asking Botan first.
Everything was going to be all right.

Okay, so I'm not typing as fast as I should. I've been working very hard at school. Anyway, lessee what have I been doing?
I have started listening to a bunch of Chinese and Japanese Jpop singers more than usual because of one of my dormmates collecting a lot of songs on her ipod. I have been up to my elbows in getting a paper done, a very cool project, a late project, and a still-life done. I'm almost done though tomorrow, I'm going to have to get some stuff from some of the art stores…..Yay……
I have been watching Scryed and I have to say that Cougar and Mimori is my favorite coupling because Ryho does not deserve Cheris or Mimori at all. He's such an ass, and Kazuma is just funny to watch.
I have started work on a one-shot for a Kenshin x Misao x Soujiro fic. It's been doing pretty awesome. I hope to get Drunken Lullaby done soon. Anyway, I have got to go and type up another chapter of this then type up Drunken Lullaby.
LOVES TO ALL! PLEASE REVIEW! THANK YOU!
