Author's note: This is my first Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic. I'm still an apprentice in writing so please bear with me! Another note is, I refer Kurama as Minamino when he is with the humans and Kurama when he is with his friends.

Chapter 1: Kurama's Petition
"Kurama! Kurama!" Botan, dressed as a school girl ran towards the hallway towards where ever her feet drags her into, hoping to find the red haired guy she was looking for almost two hours now.
"Sumimasen, but, have you seen Kurama? The guy with the long red hair?" She asked almost every person she would see at the corridors. They all said a monosyllabic 'no' before her that made her veins pop out.
"We don't know any guy named Kurama here. But a sure does have a red hair here…" A shy school girl told her.
She continued walking and barging in every classroom she spots.
"Hmmphhh…" Her eyes widened as she felt a strong, broad hand covering her mouth, almost choking her. She tried hitting the person who just barged on her back but it wouldn't budge. The person suddenly dragged her inside a quiet place and released her.
She faced her abductor as she inhaled deeply to gather enough air in her lungs
"Hey! I've been looking for you for almost two hours now!" She got her oar and hit Kurama's butt without any warning.
"How many times do I have to tell you that I am MINAMINO!" He glared at her as he rubbed his swollen butt. Thankfully, the chemicals on the science laboratory wasn't hit by the ferry girl's ridiculously large oar. "Hey!!! Watch the oar!" Kurama shouted again she tried swinging it again to him.
"I've been trying to locate you since Koenma made a decision already." She scanned through her notes and turned up to look at him again.
"Really?!" Excitement crept on his handsome features.
"Yeah. But you're still under observation." She snapped her hand in front of his face.
"Under observation? What will he do?" He tucked his hands inside his white laboratory gown.
"That's the reason why I'm here. Hop on!" She let the oar float into the air and ride into it. Minamino opened the large window and rode behind the ferry girl.
"Hang on Kurama! Here we go!!!!" She shouted cheerily as she dashed with the wind. Minamino blinked his eye when a strand of Botan's hair got into it. He rubbed his eye and he heard the girl heartily laughed as she enjoyed the journey. He smelled her nice scent that filled his nostrils and the cool breeze passing through them as she soared swiftly and freely on the air.
He smiled to as he tried to enjoy the thing too, like Botan. He envied the ferry girl's freedom coz she can soar the heavens and earth and watch how beautiful the human world is. How love and care evolved in this pretty little thing on the solar system. Far behind the lonely and full of hatred and enviousness like Reikai. How he wished he is a real human and be able to love and live without being feared as a cold blooded killer. How he loved how humans treat him, how he wished he is like Yusuke who is a real human being.
Minamino's classmates barged inside the laboratory to see what the genius Minamino has been doing in their Chemistry project.
"Where the hell is that guy?! He even left the window open!"
"Are you sure you wanted to be a real human? I mean there are so many limitations if you are one of them." Botan suddenly asked in the middle of their journey.
"Yes I do. It feels so good when your mother loves and cares for you like her real child. I never had a real mom to guide me as I grow old in Reikai that's why I grew up as a cold blooded killer. I don't want to remember that thing already. If my petition for being a real human is approved, I wanted them to erase all my memories from my past, you know, being a demon." He said softly to the blue-haired woman in front of him.
"Does that mean you'll gonna erase me from your memory too?" Her cheerful mood suddenly saddened by his revelations.
Kurama was suddenly taken aback with his friend's question. Of course he doesn't wanna forget her! She had been his friend for years already, he had been with her during missions, always there to encourage and guide them. He appreciated every little thing done by her.
"Of course not!" He suddenly said.
"You just said that you want to erase all memories from your past." She gave emphasis to the word 'all'.
"Well…Can't I make some exceptions like… you, Koenma, Hiei, Enki, Torio, and all the nice guys I met there?" He counted every exceptions he made and came up with infinity.
"Do you think Enma-Daioh would permit all of those exceptions? I bet nothing will be erased from your memory if they are exempted." She said while laughing very hard and cause the oar to wiggle as se laughed her lungs out.
"Hey.. Hey!!!! Watch out!!!" Kurama yelled as he lost his balance and fall from the heavens.
"Kurama!" Botan tried to reach his hand but it slipped easily from her grip.
She tried lower down but she spotted no Kurama on her sight. He can't be too far away!
She felt like crying when she thought that she caused her friend's death. The tough guy was not been killed because of merciless opponents but due to her stupid and careless actions.
"How can I explain all of these?" She worriedly asked.
"Tell them you killed me." Kurama suddenly went into the scene. Botan's eyes flew saucer wide as she saw Kurama safe and unscratched. He managed to get his rose whip and tie it on the oar before he fell.
"See! Thanks to my abilities, I'm safe and sound." He proudly said.
"You probably can't do that anymore of you are a real human already. Your abilities will be lost too. You'll become helpless and defenseless in times of real trouble. You'll grow old and die soon. You know I don't want that to happen." She said with a serious tone.
Kurama is now having second thoughts about being a human after all after what Botan said. It has indeed advantages and disadvantages.
