Author's Note: This chapter confused the hell out of me when I re-read it today. I think I was going for a Botan/Kurama/Karasu idea but then it changed while I was writing it… all I know is, Karasu has conflicted feelings and likes both Botan and Kurama in this fic. But he also hates Botan because Kurama likes her… just read it.


Chapter Thirteen: Why

Reader's POV


"Why? What the hell makes you so special? Just why does he love you so much." Karasu's black eyes narrowed and he let his thin, pale fingers wrap around Botan's neck. He squeezed and she stiffened; the fear evident in her eyes.

"You're fragile and weak… I could easily snap your neck at this very moment." He shoved the girl against a wall and glared into violet orbs. "You disgust me." Botan felt tears prick at her eyes and she adverted her gaze.

"You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take you away from that bastard of a fox." Botan quickly let her hands fly up to Karasu's and clawed at it. He chuckled darkly and a shiver ran down Botan's spine.

"Why?" Botan whispered harshly. Karasu snarled.

"Because you are a worthless ferry girl and he shouldn't love you, damn it!" Botan flinched at the words. She knew that no one would find her. Out here… in this secluded area of demon world… she also knew there was no way she could talk Karasu out of killing her. Her head started to feel light from the lack of air and she fought to get more air.

She felt her eyes flutter close and couldn't find the strength to open them back up. The fear of death started to set in (even though she was a ferry girl…). But soon a new fear began to take root in the pit of her stomach when she felt lips on hers. She forced her eyes open to see Karasu kissing her. Her protests were muffled and almost immediately, despite her inner feelings, she heard herself moan.

Tears fell down her cheeks, causing her face to smear in shame. She closed her eyes a second time and tried to banish the sick feeling in her body.

She almost didn't feel it when Karasu's bomb exploded from her midsection.


I'm so sorry I destroyed this pairing...
