Chapter 1

Botan grumbled quietly, her eyes fixated on the mathematical expressions on the board staring back at her, acutely aware of the fact that she should be solving them right now. Except, Botan was exceptionally bad at this and didn't have a single idea how to. She tore her gaze from the board to look around. Keiko scribbled attentively while Yuusuke seemed to doodle on his copy. Both of them are truly the polar opposite of each other, all the while being perfect for each other. The loud bell ringing from the grandfather clock stole the attention of every pupil, signalling the end of the class. It was strange to have a grandfather clock in a classroom but Professor Lui believed it adds "something" to the "ambience". Nobody knows what he meant, nobody cared either. Yuusuke was the first one to stand up after the faculty left, expelling a very exaggerated sigh of relief, "Fin-fucking-ally".

Botan agreed and got up from her seat to walk over to the couple. "I'm starved", The blue-haired girl said as she neared Keiko, dropping her head on the brunette's shoulder, who giggled a little at the girl's behaviour. "Oh, Botan. Let's eat somewhere", Keiko suggested and the other two jumped in excitement at the offer. However, the expression on Yuusuke's features dropped to be replaced with a look of determination, "You know what? You guys go, I'll join after beating up my enemy".

What he meant was he was going to see Kuwabara (his enemy), start a random argument then tell him to tag along (they were actually very close friends). Botan rolled her eyes, making a dismissive gesture with her hand and Keiko took the opportunity to deliver a hard slap on Yuusuke's arm, "Don't get yourself in trouble, Urameshi".

"I won't. I won't"

Keiko and Botan waited at the entrance gate for Yuusuke and other's to arrive. "What's taking him so long? I really hope Yuusuke doesn't start anything". "You worry too much, Keiko", Amethyst irises looked at her friend with a soft smile, patting her friend's back. "I know", Keiko replied before she paused, seeming to ponder on something.

"He asked me out. Last night."

A beat.

Botan blinked for a second, her mouth slowly parted before a rush of excitement filled her form. "NO WAY. I MEAN- about time?", She squealed, bouncing as her hands held the brunette's arm, urging her to continue. "I was too speechless to answer directly but I guess we are a thing now", A reddish hue was visible on Keiko's cheek, obviously concealing her own enthusiasm.

"Not surprised", came the monotone voice of Hiei, almost as if he was summoned, making the girls jump in surprise. "For fuck's sake, Hiei, at least try to be normal", Botan rubbed her right hand over her chest to calm herself, shaking her head. "Hello, beautiful ladies", Kurama greeted the girls with a gentle curve of his lips, unaware of how Botan straightened in front of him. "Hey Kurama", Keiko responded back., "We are going to grab some food. Join us".

Botan wordlessly nodded. Her usually chirpy personality was suddenly a little quieter. It was Botan's time to blush. The blue-haired girl stole a glance at her best friend who was grinning. She could feel her heart rate rising as Kurama stood next to her, talking about something Botan totally wasn't paying attention to for she was too focused on his lips and his pretty face. Shuichi Minamino was a mesmerizingly beautiful being. His hair was up in a low ponytail, clad in a maroon shirt with one of his hands tucked inside his jeans. His usual soft smile was present on his pretty features, the emerald stud earrings matching the shade of his irises. Mesmerising indeed.

She was pulled out of her reverie when Yuusuke clapped her back. "Let's get going lads and ladies", Yuusuke sounded too happy for someone who looked like they might have to retake a maths course next semester. Kuwabara nodded behind them and was about to take a turn only to halt, "Oh Kurama, Maya was looking for you, asked me to tell—".

"Ah, yes I've already spoken to her on call. No worries.", Kurama cut in, giving the ginger a nod.

That grabbed Botan's attention and not just hers, others were more than interested in the conversation. "Speaking of which, yeah Kurama you've been hanging out with Maya quite a lot lately. What's up?", Yuusuke was the first to inquire as they all started walking towards one destination. Botan and Keiko shared a worried look, very invested to find out what Kurama and his classmate shared. Botan wasn't sure what she was expecting but something told her she wouldn't like it. It's not as if Kurama and her were something, from the looks of it they weren't going to become a thing anytime soon either but there's a huge part of her that carried an unspoken sense of endearment for the man with luscious red mane.

"Yeah, I noticed too. Something is definitely going on with you two", Kazuma hummed as if he were recalling a memory before shooting Kurama a grin, "Come on, Minamino, tell us don't be shy". The crimson-haired guy let out a laugh at his friends' tactics. Whereas, Botan waited with bated breath for an answer that would silence everyone's suspicion.

A moment of quietness engulfed them before Kurama replied sheepishly, "We are talking. Dating". Wow, that… ouch. Botan practically felt whatever little hope she had for herself and the boy she was so enamoured with die that instant, resulting in her heart breaking. An arm snaked around her shoulders to give her a comforting rub but Botan couldn't really feel it. Yuusuke and Kuwabara were cheering, too distracted to notice the change in her demeanour. Hiei on the other hand met her gaze for just a second to say what exactly was going on in her head.

"Fool". Indeed.

Not a heavy drinker and yet here she was downing alcohol like there was no tomorrow. Worried orbs of chocolate peered at her, taking out her phone and quickly typing something. Botan's phone vibrated to alert her of new messages. She knew what those messages said already, it was Keiko writing words of comfort to make her feel better. But no, Botan felt anything but better. She downed another shot of alcohol as she heard Kuwabara mutter "easy girl" next to her before he got up from his seat with an excuse to go to the washroom.

The man of her dreams was having fun, occasionally glancing at his phone. Probably waiting for his girlfriend to call or text. Dang, it sucks. It fucking sucks. Botan was about to let out a rather ugly whine only for her focus to be grabbed by loud chatter. She turned her head towards the source of the noise, her body froze at the sight of her orange-headed friend being grabbed by his collar. "Is that fucking Yoko Kurama?", she heard Hiei utter beside her as her gaze travelled to the person who grabbed Kuwabara by his collar. Who the fuck is that? And how dare he do that to her friend?

He was very very good-looking for sure. And you know who else is good-looking? Shuichi Minamino. "Fucking hell. That motherfucking bitch. Take the girls in a—", Yuusuke was cut off in his speech by a loud yell.

"Hey! Who the fuck do you think you are?", Botan yelled, standing up from where she was sat and in a blink of an eye she found herself walking towards the commotion. Everyone was too stunned to act or even speak. It seemed this Yoko Kurama was puzzled too, his questioning gaze piercing through her.

If it were any other day when she wasn't pissed out of her mind, she would get flustered by his cold stare or would've run towards the other direction. Not today though.

"Don't touch my friend like that. Like some— uh weird delinquent". If she used her head, she could've said something better. Yoko raised one silver eyebrow at her but somehow her words seemed to have an effect because the man let go of his hold on Kuwabara. "Botan shut the fuck up and let's leave", Kazuma was about to block Botan's way but was unable to as another guy with a black bun stopped him. Damn, she didn't even notice the other dude being there.

Amethyst irises shifted to meet molten gold.

Cold but curious gaze clashed with stern but droopy eyes.

"Who is this pretty little thing?" Those were the first words that came out of Yoko's mouth, the line of his lips curling upwards in a smirk. Amber eyes that were once cold were now replaced with heavy curiosity, almost like a cat— wait no it reminded Botan of a fox. Starting from his long silver locks, bangs that fell right above his golden irises, his sharp features and the way he stood tall and curious. He was one gorgeous-looking fellow. Just like Shuichi Mina—

Before the thought even completed itself in her head, her legs gave out and there she was spilling her guts on Yoko Kurama.
