Botan looked at her wrist watch and heaved a sigh.
"It's been 20 minutes. Who uses a public restroom THAT long? For girls, that's understood but for boys..? OMG. Can..can it be? Kurama's gay? But that can't be! No! No! No! Absolutely not! But he IS taking a loonngg time in there. Ugh. Away with you silly thoughts! Shoo. Don't bother me." Botan mentally slapped herself.
And Botan was left with an empty chair in front of her and her suspicions about Kurama's true gender.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the so-called "restroom"...
"I told you for the -enth time fox! I have absolutely NO feelings for that baka ferry girl!"growled Hiei whose clothes were quite torn apart and had a slit on his cheek.
"Then why are you so jealous, huh?" The same can be said for Kurama. His probably expensive tuxedo before can be now compared to a pair of rags.
Hiei brandished his sword and sped towards Kurama's direction. He kept thrusting his sword but Kurama kept avoiding it.
"Oh come on, Hiei. Just admit it. You love Botan."
For a second, Hiei sort of stumbled but quickly regained his balance.
"I do not love that ferry girl! Love isn't even found in my vocabulary!"
"Fine. Deny all you want. We can stay up here all night."
"Do as you wish. I don't give a damn."
"BOTAN! What are you doing here?" Kurama said with wide eyes in shock.
"Shit." Hiei turned around and there was no Botan there. He suddenly found himself tied up with plants. Kurama had used the time when he let his guard down to make him a prisoner.
"Hn. You're one hell of an actor, fox."
"Thanks. I practice you know." replied Kurama with a smile.
And there was silence. Both just sat on the rooftop admiring the stars.
"Oh for heaven's sake Hiei, just admit it." Kurama said.
"NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS will I like that that.."
"Look Hiei. I like Botan. Still, I'm willing to give her up to a person who loves her especially if he's my friend."
"Hn. This is stupid. You're becoming more and more like that irritating Botan." scowled Hiei.
"Oh shoot. You might fall in love with me." Kurama was laughing at the pissed off Hiei.
"If you're just going to make fun of me, I'm leaving."
"Alright then. May the best man win."
And with that, Kurama loosened the plants capturing Hiei and was now headed back to Botan.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Botan was now weighing and debating whether Kurama was indeed gay or not. Then speaking of..
"Sorry Botan. I had to go somewhere. It was an emergency." Kurama huffed.
All hypotheses about Kurama's gender was swatted away in a flash. Botan clamped her hand to her mouth, "Oh my gosh Kurama! You have to get to the hospital! What happened?"
"Oh it's really nothing Botan. Let's just go home. I'll walk you home."
When Kurama gave a smile, Botan felt everything was already fine.
"Since you took a long time at the "restroom", you are required to buy me ice cream!"
"Your wish is my command."
And with that, they exited the Bistro's and headed home.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The two reached Botan's doorstep.
"Well..this is it." said Kurama.
"Yup. Thanks for the good time." said Botan as she smiled at Kurama
"I had a nice time too. Bye Botan!"
Kurama gave her a quick peck on the cheek and Kurama ran off into the distance.
That gave Botan a quick shock.
"Bye.."
She heaved as she fumbled with her bag using her hand.
"Now where are those darned keys?" she said aloud.
"Looking for this?"
A black-haired guy said with a smirk.
"Heeeyy! How'd you get that? Hmm? Oh I got it! You stole it from me! And you were attempting to rob my house--"
She was cut off when Hiei's lips crushed into hers. Her eyes were wide in shock. Hiei put an arm around her waist and the other one around her neck pulling Botan. Botan bent down as she received the kiss. She felt his tongue going around hers as it wanted more. Botan felt her feet pop from the ground.
Hiei cut the kiss and jumped at the nearest tree and made his exit. Botan touched her lips and gave a small smile. She was as red as a tomato. She got her keys and opened the door to her apartment with nothing but Hiei's lips on hers in her mind.
"Now that was heaven.."
Her cellphone blinked and her ringtone automatically played. She answered the call from Keiko.
"So so so..how was it? Give us all the details!" squealed by Keiko.
"Well..hmm..nothing really happened. I had a good time though." admitted Botan. "Look Keiko, I'm really getting sleepy now. I think I'll go to bed now. See you on Monday! Bye!"
"Okay then. Bye!"
And with that, Botan hung up on her bestfriend.
She sighed.
I wonder.. I wonder if I was with Hiei tonight. Will it make a difference? Do I..still like him?
From afar, someone was watching her also running through the same thoughts..
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up In the morning when the day is new And after having spent the day together Hold each other close the whole night through
The happy times together we've been spending I wish that every kiss was neverending Oh Wouldn't it be nice
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do We could be married And then we'd be happy
Wouldn't it be nice
You know it seems the more we talk about it It only makes it worse to live without it But lets talk about it Oh, wouldn't it be nice
good night baby sleep tight baby
Botan then fell asleep with a smile on her face.
