Well another week has gone by. I'm SOOOOO hyper & jittery right now. (That's because I had meat. ) ...So am I scaring you by the chapter title yet? Huh huh? Well your gonna have to read to find out what happens. Well Ummm... yea here's the chapter.
Chapter 10
They were walking back to the temple in silence for awhile. Kurome had her arms crossed over her chest, pouting about how much her face reddened when he kissed her hand.
'Stupid fox..' she grumbled in her mind. Wolf was laughing at her this whole time.
Kurama was also enjoying her pouting. They started to climb the stairs back to the temple.
"I don't see why Yusuke complains about them so much." Kurome stated. Kurama laughed at her comment.
When they got to the top of the stairs, Botan popped out of nowhere floating on her oar.
"Hello!" she greeted.
"Bloody-!" Kurome yelled in shock.
"It's nice to see you Botan." Kurama greeted.
Botan started to giggle at Kurome. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you that much."
"Ummm...it's alright, just very surprising." Kurome replied.
"So, is your name Kurome?" Botan asked. Kurome nodded & Botan clapped her hands together,
"BINGO!" she exclaimed. Kurome jumped again. Kurama started to laugh, 'I guess she's not around perky people.' he thought.
"So...do you need me or something?" Kurome asked once she caught her breath.
"Prince Koenma wants to see you. But first I'm supposed to take you shopping." Botan replied, then grabbed Kurome's arm & pulled her onto the oar. She started to soar off when Kurama yelled to Kurome,
"Miss Kurome you haven't even eaten yet!"
"Guess I will later, and don't call me 'Miss' " she yelled back before they went soaring towards the city.
On the way Kurome was holding on to the oar for her life.
'Is Botan high on coffee?' she thought.
They soon landed in an alley. When Kurome's feet touched the ground she started screaming in her head.
'LAND!' she mentally yelled. Then Botan grabbed her arm & led her out of the alley and onto the shopping street.
"Are you on Enegizer batteries?" Kurome asked Botan.
"What do you mean?" Botan asked giving Kurome a confused look. Kurome chuckled,
"Nothing." she replied. Botan shrugged and led Kurome into a store.
'This is a bloody nightmare.' Kurome thought as she looked at the clothing that surrounded her. Skirts, pink, ect.
"Can we go somewhere else?" Kurome asked.
"Why, I thought you might like this place. Look, isn't this cute?" Botan asked while holding up a short pink skirt.
"No, cute to me is little plushies, and animals. Pink and skirts, especially when they're combined, are preppy." Kurome replied. Botan shrugged, and they went to a store across the street.
"Much better, pants." Kurome commented as she looked around.
After a little bit of trying clothes on, they left the store. Kurome carrying two bags full of clothes, and Botan with something for herself.
"Well that didn't take as long as I expected." Botan stated. Kurome smiled as she followed Botan into another store.
"Ahh, Botan? Why are we going here?" Kurome asked as she noticed they walked into a fancy dress store.
"Well you need a dress for a special ocassion." Botan replied.
"Do I really need one?" Kurome whined.
Botan giggled, "Yes you do silly." she replied.
Kurome sighed then looked over to a section of darker dresses. She started searching through the selection of dresses. She ended up pulling out a long navy blue dress.
"What do you think?" Kurome asked while holding it up to herself.
"I want you to try it on!" Botan exclaimed.
A little later. (If ya want to know what it looked like, to bad, your just gonna have to wait until I tell bout it in a future chapter.)
"See that wasn't so bad was it?" Botan asked Kurome.
"It woulda been worse if I stayed in that preppy store much longer. I might have hacked up a lung." Kurome replied.
"So how are you and Kurama?" Botan asked while changing the subject.
"Whadda ya mean 'me and Kurama' ?" Kurome questioned.
"It's exactly how I mean, how are you two doing?"
"Well I'm alright, and I think you should ask Kurama about how he's feeling, cause I don't know."
"I'm talking about how you two are getting along as a couple silly."
"NANI! COUPLE! Where'd you hear that from!"
"From Yusuke. You two were even walking together this morning before we came shopping." Botan pointed out.
"Well...we were coming back from the forest." Kurome mummered.
'Yusuke is so gonna die next time I see him!' she thought to herself, while writing a mental post-it note.
Kurome and Botan walked back to the alley that they first landed in. Then they took off on the oar again. This time Botan went a little slower because they had the bags with them. They went back to the temple to drop everything back off before heading off to Spirit World. When they entered the temple they met Kurama sitting in the living room reading a book. When he heard the girls open the door he looked up from the book.
"Welcome back." he greeted.
"Hey Kurama." Botan replied.
"Hi." Kurome replied with a smile before taking the bags to her room.
She came out a few minutes later with a pair of jeans on & a dark red T-Shirt. She walked over to Kurama and handed him the shirt & pants he lent her. They were folded neatly.
"Thanks for letting me borrow them." she thanked.
"It's nothing." he replied.
Botan stood up from where she was sitting on the couch.
"Well lets go!" she exclaimed, then a ringing sound came from her pocket. Botan pulled out her little compact and started talking with Koenma on it.
'She keeps going, and going, and going.' Kurome kept repeating in her head until Botan snapped the communicator shut.
"Well it turns out that Koenma wants to see both of you." Botan announced. Kurome gave Botan a confused look, and Kurama stood up.
"Well lets not keep Koenma-sama waiting." he said.
Together they left, and headed to Spirit World on Botan's oar. Kurome was starting to freak out because it was crowded so she wasn't able to hang onto the oar like earlier.
