Flashback
The music was loud and lights of different colours danced around in the dark room. The room was crowded with trashy dressed women and sweet talking men. The heat was over bearing and the noise was over whelming. But everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. In fact, the whole night seemed kind of ironic.
Botan's P.O.V.
I was out in the middle of the dance floor, enjoying a dance with my boyfriend Riku. Or atleast it would seem that way to any passer by's. To me it was just another one of my many facades.
The only thing I could think about was my beloved fire demon who held all my affection and attention. The boy I had cursed myself with.
My love for him in a sense was a curse. Falling for the Forbidden Child. I knew from the beginning that I would not receive from him that I have given. And continue to give. Still, I could not keep myself from him. His touch told me that he was the only one I could ever love. The only one who could ever make me feel this way.
Even if love seemed like it was something impossible for him to feel, I know I am also the only one he could ever be with. His jealous stares and passion was enough to reassure me that.
Everything had gone fine, I have had my doubts of course. Sneaking around like this couldn't be right. Pretending to love someone… I know that's not right. But Hiei keeps telling me he has his reasons. I don't know exactly what those reasons are, but I have a pretty good idea of it.
All my doubts are starting to disappear. Because I know they are facts now. The truth. You see, just day's before this very moment one of my best friends…. Hiei's best friend's approached me. Kurama is probably the only one who knows anything about this. When I asked him how he had found out he told me he could see it in our eyes. He could see Hiei's struggle to avoid his feelings for me. But most of all, he could see how Hiei always watched over me. He was always protecting me.
The fact that Kurama addressed this very issu didn't surprise me. He was one of those people you couldn't help but to like. He was always looking out for other peoples well being. He never put himself before his friends. And sometimes even enemies. So I could only assume that one day this conversation would be brought up.
"Botan you know, I really wish for you to be happy. And I just don't believe you will find happiness like this." Preach it sista-… I mean brother. "Hiei's feelings for you are undeniable. I know he cares and that is why I have faith that this can work out…. He just needs time. My real concern is Riku. I know you care about him, so how can you keep deceiving him like this?" To hear someone else say it kind of stung to be honest. I guess it's because I know he's right. "The choice to change all this is yours of course, so I will not interfere anymore. Just please, take it has a work of advice." Kurama tuned to leave.
"Hey, Kurama?"
"Yes?" He turned to face me, hand on the door knob.
"Thanks. It's kind of just what I needed to hear." Smiling he nodded in acknowledgment and swiftly walked out the door.
Tonight's the night I'm going to change things. So here I am.. Wish me luck.
Sorry guys! I know it took me awhile to update, and I don't have much to make up for it. My internet has been down and honestly I didn't know where I was even going with this story hahaha. Anyhow, this story will only be about 3 more chapters. And incase you noticed, the rating has been dropped to Teen. I think this story will go better this way.
I'm also working on another story that will be rated M. I'm actually really excited about writing it and cant wait to get it posted. So hopefully that goes well.
And gratitude to all my lovely reviewers! Or well, the 5 of you. Hahahaha.
