Human World
Kurama arrived four hours ago and it was time for him to pick-up his mother and stepfather from the airport, he first came home checking on his stepbrother Shuiichi was there. As he opened the door, he looked around for his brother.
"Shuiichi are you here?" Kurama asked, he looked around and spotted him in the kitchen.
"Ah, Shuiichi there you are. How was your stay in Genkai's place?" Shuiichi asked, Kurama had told him that he was staying at Genkai's temple for such reasons that the young teenager had not know.
"It was fine, thank you for asking. Now get dress we have to get dress for mother and father, they're plane will be here soon shortly." said the elder Shuiichi
As the two brothers waited for their parents to arrived, they have stop and waited at the cafe.
"Say Shuiichi, what is your relationship with Botan? Is she your girlfriend?" asked curious Shuiichi, he was wondering if his brother was in love with the mysterious girl he had just met in the wedding. Since their mother had told him, that Botan was special friend of his stepbrother and he was thinking as a girlfriend.
In the other hand Kurama choked on his tea while turning into his brother with his face red he then took a deep breath and said,
"Well it's hard to say she's my girlfriend but I-" Shuiichi had interrupted him and said,
"You didn't say the words you want to say to her right?"
Kurama who was still blushing sigh, placed his hand on his face, and started to think about Botan.
Spirit World
Botan was lying on her bed thinking what she will do in Human World. She knows that Kurama does have feelings for her and all she has to do is say the words she wanted to say to him.
"Oh, I hope I will get to say it to him so we could really be together." she said to herself.
She got out of bed and went to Koenma's office.
"Sir, are you ready to go yet?" asked Botan.
As she peeked in his office, she heard Koenma sigh at his chair, which was faced to the wall. Botan walked in and went straight to him and said in a cheery tone,
"You know Koenma you can't hold it forever."
Koenma in his toddler form started blushing and answered,
"You're right, but how am I suppose to tell her?" he sighed again.
"Sir you've been in love with her since she first came here and now you have to tell her!"
"I'm asking how not when Botan, and why are you telling me this if you haven't make-out with Kurama yet?" he asked in a loud tone. Botan wave her right hand and said in a bubbly voice,
"Because we know we are meant for each unlike you two, you both have to give up sooner or later."
"Well I guess you're right," he agreed.
"So when are you planning on telling her?" Botan asked touching her index finger to another.
"I have no clue?" He replied making Botan fall down and hit the floor.
Human world
Kurama's parents arrived just in time and as he welcomed back his parents the all went out to eat for a while.
"How was your trip to Europe?" asked Shuiichi.
"It was relaxing and we did enjoy the festivities," answered his father. As he sipped his tea he looked at Kurama and asked,
"Shuiichi I heard that you're not planning on going into college am I right?"
"Well you see I have nothing to plan but to just get a job and I also have other plans." Kurama answered in a firm voice.
"Are you planning on courting that friend of yours? I believe her name is Botan correct?" Said Shiori who had interrupted the father and son conversation making Kurama turn red again. Both the parents and the younger laugh at Kurama's expression and how adorable his relationship with Botan.
"-ahaha, I am proud of you Shuiichi, I thought my son would be single for the rest of his life and I wouldn't get to have any grandchildren." said Shiori, she was still giggling at his son at the same time proud at him for finally have feelings for someone.
Kurama's watch was beeping showing 3:00 P.M and said,
"I'm sorry, but I will be meeting a friend of mine in the station so I might be home for dinner." As he risen from the chair his father said,
"Wait son, I have an importance to say to you."
Kurama faced his father and his father continued,
"If you really are not planning to go into college, why won't you join me working in my company?"
Kurama smiled and gave a nod.
"I'll gladly accept the offer father.," he answered.
At the train station
Kuwabara was waiting for Kurama in Mushiyori Station and said to himself,
"Where the heck is fox boy? "
He looked around for him and finally spotted him and yelled,
"Hey Kura- I mean Shuiichi over here!
The red haired man turned and saw Kuwabara waving at him and he waved back.
"Long time no see! What took ya so long just to get here?" said Kuwabara. Kurama smiled and answered,
"It's good to see you too Kuwabara. I just had to run an errand that's all."
"Like what?" he askded
"Well I just came here five hours ago then I went to pick my parents up in the airport; my father insist us on eating lunch then have a light chat." he answered.
"So how you've been?" Kurama questioned.
"Nothing changes since you and Urameshi left." Kuwabara lied, he would not want to bring the subject with Botan getting hurt knowing him he thinks it might nit be a problem.
"I see."
Back to Spirit World
Botan had left Koenma's office and went looking for Ayame, it took her twenty minutes to look for her and when she spotted the raven-haired girl, she was peeping inside Koenma's office with a sad depression. Botan went straight to her and asked,
"Hey Ayame what's wrong?"
"Master Koenma seems so depress." she answered then sighs deeply.
"Well, he does have his reasons." Botan added. She looked at Koenma then to Ayame, who said,
"Like what? We all know he's not strong enough to do everything himself."
I guess you are right, but if possible he does try do it all though. Botan said to herself.
Ayame turned her face away from Botan not letting herself see her depression over the prince.
Suddenly a light bulb struck Botan; she suddenly held Ayame's hand and went straight to Koenma's office.
In a few moments, the three were already in the sky. First off they both ate and had fun, but Koenma was still depress and Botan was still thinking another way, it was already evening in Spirit World and she needs to go to Human World as soon as possible.
I need to figure out way for these two before I go crazy! She said to herself. She finally thought of a way and said out loud,
"I think I need a drink, Ayame would you mind if I leave you here for a moment?" she asked,
Ayame started to turn red and answered,
"Sure why not?"
Koenma gave a sigh and said,
"It's kind of you to relive me out of my worries."
"No problem sir." she answered.
"Right now Botan and I are supporting Spirit World and since the king is done yelling for today he could scold Botan and I later."
"Thank you." thanked the young prince.
You can do it Ayame. Botan said to herself.
"Um sir, there's something I would want to say." said Ayame.
"May I ask what is your problem?" asked Koenma. Ayame leaned on the cold rail and answered with a calm but nervous tone,
"Well, I grew fond of you since I first came here to Spirit World."
"Hmm. I see ….what!" his expression turned in to curiousness into surprise when he heard the word fond. He jumped out of surprise then suddenly turns into his teenage form. Ayame started to laugh kneeled down and said,
"It's true sir, I …I have fallen in love with you."
"I…I" Koenma had nothing to say and he now knew that the person he had fallen in love with loves him back.
Koenma placed his hand on Ayame's cheek then suddenly gave her a kiss. Ayame was first surprise of what Koenma had done she had nothing she can do but to deepen the kiss. Meanwhile Botan was still behind the small palm tree sipping at her drink at the same time looking at the new lovers.
"Bingo!" she said silently, she then left the two and went to Human World.
Human World again
"So, it's finally over.," said Kuwabara sipping his coffee. Kurama had told him about the Makai Tournament and how Yusuke lost from Yomi.
"Well yes, as you can see the last three fighters on the championship were also defeated in the process. It is strange that Shigure won the fight then soon after I heard he disappears. Said Kurama.
"Good thing I wasn't there." said Kuwabara.
"You should've made a difference. "
Two girls came from the stairs and the one with purple hair said,
"Well if isn't it Kazuma Kuwabara it's a surprise seeing you."
"Oh, hey ladies what's up?" greeted Kuwabara.
"Nothing much." answered the girl with dark golden hair.
"So you two going to a hotel?" asked the girl with purple hair.
Kuwabara spit out his coffee and cried out,
"I have you know he's a man a tough one!"
"Really? No way!" said the blonde-haired person. She went close to Kurama and did not say anything.
"Really sorry boys we didn't know, so Kazuma care to hang with us it's really fun." said the purple one.
"Nah. I have to go somewhere else thanks for asking.," he answered.
The two girls left and the two boys were finally left alone.
"I guess you're popular with the girls I see." started Kurama, things had change since he left after all.
"Yah, since I predicted there was going to be an earthquake people started getting over me and I'm finally going to regret it someday."
The two were finally on the train and Kuwabara could not help but wonder that it is been three years since he talked to Yusuke.
"I can't believe it's been three years." Kuwabara stated.
"What?" Kurama asked,
"Three years since I talked to Urameshi."
"Well he hasn't change I can give you that." Kurama said,
"Tch, so he's still the same cocky guy huh, he better not forget his promise to Keiko."
"Don't worry, I know he will get back and fulfill their promise."
"That's not what I meant Kurama, every time Urameshi leaves he also left Keiko out without knowing and that's how cocky that punk is."
Somewhere in Keiko's School
The bell had finally rung and school was finally over for the day. Keiko had grew taller and her hair finally longer then before. She was informed that she has to go to Genkai's temple as soon as possible, as she walks her friends called out her name. She turned around and said nothing.
"Hey Keiko wanna go to the mall this evening?" said one of her friends,
"Um, I'm sorry but I have plans." she answer back,
"I just realize that Keiko is the only girl in school that doesn't have a boyfriend," said the one with short hair, Keiko did not answer.
"You're right, say Keiko are you still waiting for your prince charming?" asked the girl with blue hair, again Keiko said nothing.
As Keiko met up with Kuwabara, Kurama, and Shizuru, they all rode a train to Genkai's place. While reading the newspaper with Shizuru Keiko yelled out,
"Oh my god is that Hiei?"
Everyone looked at the newspaper with surprise and Kurama explained,
"I believe whoever that person was still remember Hiei when that person went to Makai. Hiei and some of the fighters who had lost the tournament were suppose to patrol Makai and keeping demons in and humans out without the use of the Kekkai Barrier . Lady Makuro is the leader of the patrolling Makai and it happens to be that Hiei is the second-in-command."
"Oh, I see." said Shizuru, Keiko and her were both giggling having a slight guess that the two demons might have feelings for each other.
"I still don't get it, why are you here if you don't have anything to do. You said you lost the tournament why aren't you in Makai?" asked Kuwabara.
"He's right Kurama why are you still here?" said Shizuru in a teasing tone. Kurama to a deep breath and said,
"Well I have my reasons." he then started to laugh so he could hide his embarrassment
At Genkai's Temple
As the group reach in Genkai's temple they met up with Yukina.
"Hello everyone!" cried Yukina.
"Hey Yukina!" greeted Kuwabara, as everyone had their greeting Genkai had ask if Yusuke had come back and Kuwabara answered,
"It's his fault for being cocky punk soon one of these days he'll regret it."
Shizuru nudge at her brother making him look at Keiko who looked depressed. As everyone had their moment of silent voice came in and said,
"Why, what are you all doing here?" said Botan, she knew that everyone was coming to visit so she just wanted to play along. Keiko greeted her and she greeted her back with a nice compliment of her long hair. As everyone faces his or her attention to Koenma who just arrived, Botan gave a quick smile at Kurama and he gave it back with a nodded smile.
"Ahem." said Genkai. Everyone looked at her as she explains everything.
"As you all see when I die, you all will own this temple. You all now that when my times come make this temple of good use."
The room was filled with silent till Kuwabara said,
"Genkai what are you talking about?"
"You shouldn't talk about such thing Master Genkai it brings bad luck." Shizuru interrupted. The other three girls said,
"But you're still young." said Keiko
"You won't die yet." said Yukina
"You look good on Sundays as well as I do." Botan commented. They were all sad hearing Genkai saying that she will soon pass away.
"Just shut up, I wouldn't want to give this whole area on other humans and I would be appreciated if you all keep this place safe. You know that lower apparitions roam around here and I would like them away from humans." she said lastly.
A few moments after the meeting the Keiko, Yukina, Shizuru, Kuwabara, Kurama ,and Botan were all outside admiring outside the temple and how beautiful it was, as they all walk down the stairs Kuwabara stopped and so did Kurama.
"Is there something wrong?" he asked,
"You know, when I first climbed on these stairs my whole life change. Since I entered the tournament my goal was to beat Urameshi then I got myself involve with the saint beast and met you and that punk Hiei, soon after I met up the love of my life Yukina. It feels like we just won the Dark Tournament four years ago.," said Kuwabara.
"Well, time does go by so fast and-" Kurama was interrupted by Botan who cried,
"Hey! Now enough flirting with each other boys!"
"If you like, we girls can go alone without you two." said Shizuru.
The boys catch up and Kuwabara said,
"We're coming! By the way Yukina did you happen to bring you swimsuit?"
"You're a moron.," said Shizuru.
Botan waited for Kurama and what the others had not notice that they were holding hands along the way until they reached to the shore.
"Wow! Such a beautiful view!" exclaimed Botan as she shaded her eyes from the sun.
"This is my first time seeing the ocean and may I say it is romantic!" Yukina commented, Kuwabara heard the word romantic and it made him want to impress Yukina.
"Best well do something while the sun is up!" said Botan as she took her shoes off she head straight to look for seashells.
"Alright, this is now my chance to look for a starfish.," said Kuwabara as he followed Botan.
As Yukina, Keiko, Kuwabara, and Botan were off Shizuru was with Kurama.
"Aren't you going to do anything with her this evening?" asked Shizuru, she pull out her cigarette and a lighter that Sakyo had given her and started to smoke.
"Well yes, as you can see until Yusuke arrives will be planning to head back to my home with my parents," he said,
'So you are going to propose to her when Yusuke arrives that's sweet.," she commented. Kurama lost his balance and asked,
"H-how did you know I was planning on that?"
Shizuru smiled and as she blew out smoke, she answered,
"Well kid as you know that when a man is alone with his girl in a beautiful sunset on the beach what do you think?"
They looked at Botan who was picking up different kinds of seashells and smile, Kurama couldn't help but to smile of how beautiful she is and she didn't change one bit. When Yusuke comes back he will confidentially tell her to have her hand in marriage.
Keiko and Yukina were enjoying splashing on the shoreline and how the water feels so cold. The two were gazing on the sunset and how beautiful it was.
"Do you think I will be able to see my brother again?" Yukina asked Keiko as she looked at the sun.
"Of course you will. You just have to believe that he'll be always their for you." she answered.
"That's the problem with sunsets they make you think too much."
"I guess you're right." said Yukina.
"Hey Yukina! Look at the worlds biggest starfish!" cried Kuwabara from afar.
"And aren't these seashells wonderful!" said Botan showing the shells.
"Oh, that's cool let me see!" said the young demon as she left Keiko.
Keiko turned back to watch the sunset, she couldn't help but think about Yusuke and how she waited for his return. But will he ever return home? Suddenly without thinking she yelled,
"This is the end!"
Everyone looked on what was going on with her on what she just said.
"I'm tired of waiting for you Yusuke! Half my life I have waited for you to come around, is this enough for you? I don't want to wait for you any more! Now it's my turn and I want to do what I want!"
"I could cry.," said Botan who was feeling sad as she looked at her best friend.
Soon as she stopped yelling and everyone was feeling sad of Keiko's suffering on Yusuke.
Yusuke, she said to herself, she was ready to cry until she her heard a voice from afar that said,
"You don't have to wait any longer for me."
Everyone gasped and so did Keiko who were now looking at the arrived Yusuke who said,
"See. You don't have to." He gave a wave to the woman he loved and smiled.
Keiko froze then in one second, then she ran up to Yusuke and started to giggle and laugh. She hugged Yusuke making both of them fall to the ground.
"Somebody hasn't missed gym class." Yusuke humored.
Keiko looked at him straight in the eye and suddenly kissed him straight to the lips without any hesitations. Yusuke was surprise that Keiko started it again and this time she did not stop to hit him for letting him wait. Nevertheless, deep down inside he loved to kiss her and that someday he will start it. As the couples try to deepen the kiss a huge wave had ruin the romantic moment.
"Bingo." Botan said with amazement. She looked at Kurama and he did the same by giving her a smile at the same time a nodded making Botan turn red.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Kuwabara.
"Are you alright your face is red are you sick?" Yukina joined in.
Botan snapped back to reality and said with a cat expression,
"Of course I'm alright, nothing wrong with me nope meow."
As the two looked at each other, Keiko started to laugh making Yusuke laugh as well and yelled,
"Oh, you're going to get that one Keiko!"
Keiko started to run and yelled back,
"Come and get me tough guy!" she started pouring water at him and he did the same.
"You know I could pour this whole ocean on you.," he answered back.
Kuwabara laughed at his two best friends who were playing like kids then suddenly Yusuke started splashing and started to get angry.
"Bang!" said Yusuke, Kuwabara grabbed him and began to wrestle the former demon king and said,
"What ever happen to you Mr. Mazaku I thought you won the tournament and become king."
"Well if I ever did win who would be here to kick your ass?" said Yusuke as he reached to Kuwabara to push him back.
Botan and Yukina joined in and started to have fun splashing the water to each other.
Kurama and Shizuru could not help but laugh at them, Shizuru nudged Kurama by the shoulder and said,
"Well Prince Charming are you going to do something?"
Botan suddenly asked,
"Do what?"
Kurama could not say anything but to look at her who was soaking wet but yet so beautiful at the same time.
"Why won't you join us Kurama you too also Shizuru it's fun and refreshing!" Botan insisted,
"Sorry I can't kiddo I'm too old for playing with water." said Shizuru.
It was Kurama's turn to say an excuse but it will not come out until Botan said,
"What about you Kurama? You don't have an excuse."
"Well what about I don't want myself getting myself wet? Is that an excuse?" he asked.
Botan walked by him saying,
"Well that's too late for you now is it fox boy."
She suddenly took out Kurama's shoulder bag by not letting him know and said,
"If you want to get this back you have to get it from me!"
Kurama was startled on how she took his bag and how good she was for taking it off quickly. He knew what was happening and started to play along by chasing her close to the shoreline.
"I don't want you to lose my house keys Botan so I will be taking it from you!" he said after that he started to chase her around making both of them laugh.
Yusuke and the others who were splashing water to each other began to look at the fox and the ferry girl who were flirting with each other. All of them but Yusuke were surprise on how those two became couples.
"Try and catch me Kurama!" cried Botan who was stepping on the water then suddenly she tripped on a rock and quickly grabbed Kurama's shirt making him fall.
The others gasped and while Botan opened her eyes she felt a hand that was holding on to her head breaking her fall, she looked up and saw Kurama on top of her. She suddenly turned red but Kurama did not. He looked at her and as he got closer to her once more…. Her communication mirror began beeping and taking her gaze off him and held her mirror. She suddenly heard Koenma's voice, who said,
"Botan are you there? Get back in Spirit World we have a lot of work to do and dad said he would smack me if I-"
"It's Koenma.," she said.
Kurama took her mirror making her look at him and continued what he was suppose to be doing, he finally reached her lips startling Botan for a while and then she deepen the kiss by placing her hand on his face.
Kuwabara who was still in shocked about what he just saw said,
"I-I didn't know that Kurama likes Botan! Why didn't any of you guys tell me anything?"
"Same here I thought she had the hots for Koenma." said Keiko who was still watching the two kissing.
"Hey I didn't." said Yukina.
"What did you mean by that?" Keiko and Kuwabara asked in unison.
"I think Urameshi has some explaining to do since he's not surprise about It.," said Kuwabara.
"Look here stupid, I suck at romance too you know, Koenma just gave me hints on who she likes and there you have it!" he replied.
"I wish I could hear what they are talking about." said Yukina. The boys looked at Kurama and Botan who stopped kissing.
"Well I guest you deserved that one." said Botan she was blushing about her first kiss and how it felt good to touch someone's lips.
"Actually there's something I would like to ask you.," he said.
"What is it?"
He came close to Botan and whispered,
"Will you marry me?"
Botan was shock and started to cry, but she was so happy of what Kurama had said.
"Of course I do and will!" She cried with excitement, she brought herself into him with another kiss and said,
"Kurama, I love you."
"I love you too, Botan." he answered.
