Botan eyes widen at the events that had unfolded in front of her. She couldn't believe her eyes nor did she want to but here she was and there was Kurama. Their eyes locked for a moment as Botan fought hard to keep the tears back.
It wasn't Kurama's fault that...That girl had kissed him. He was the victim she made the first move not him. But why does it hurt so much seeing it? He did nothing to prevent it. He could have easily had dodge it. Stepped to the side or something. But nothing.
Botan never knew her heart could hurt so much. The pain was unbearable to the point she broke eye contact and looked down to the side. She was fighting not to cry but was losing. Just as she turned away a tear slipped out to be followed by many more.
"Kurama." She whispered as she ran from his sight.
So many emotions shown through her eyes and none that he hoped that he would never be shown. He had hurt her. The only one he had every really truly cared about was in pain because of him. He couldn't allow that. This was Botan, always cheerful and laughing. She was a rare beautiful flower among a bed of roses and he had caused her pain.
Moving his way away from the crowd of girls around him, Kurama took off running after Botan. He didn't see which way she went but had picked up on her scent. Faint to say the least but still there. He headed in the direction to where she went but with so many others passing by on the street he was losing it to quickly and finally lost it in a back ally. He had a feeling she took off on her oar somewhere else.
"Botan I am sorry." He took one last look around making sure he didn't miss anything before leaving the ally and taking the familiar road to Kieko's. he only hoped that his blue hair beauty found her way there, somewhere safe and among friends.
