Please Don't Love Me

Chapter Three

Botan opened her eyes with a groan. She didn't know how long she've been crying 'till she fell asleep. When her eyes opened completely, she scanned her room. Her eyes widened, 'o my God! I forgot to lock the door!' She thought as she run fast towards the door.

When she reached her door, she looked at it with confused.

The door was LOCKED. 'B-but I don't feel I was the one who locked it. W-who did it?' She thought.

She thinks for a while. Then she smiled sadly. 'Kuramaaa' …was in her thought.

Kurama sighed. Seriously, he didn't know what happened or what did he do to her that makes her stay away from him. After last night conversations with her, she'd rushed to her apartement and forgot to lock the door. He came in to her apartement. Being a thief he once, he locked the door, and jumped from her window. Undetected .

Suddenly, a feminine voices was heard from behind him.

"Good morning Kurama-kun, it's nice to see you. Isn't this your school time? "

"Good morning and nice to see you too, Yukina-san. Actually, it's Saturday, humans didn't go to school on Saturday and Sunday." He replied with a kind smile.

"O-oh." She said with nervous.

Kurama remembered something and turned to look at Yukina.

"Can I ask you something, Yukina-san?" He asked.

"Of course you can. About what ?" She replied and asked with wide smile.

"It's about Botan." Her smile changes into a frown.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Yesterday, since Botan and I arrived at Genkai's temple, Botan's been acting strangely to me, even she tried to stay away from me. When I asked why, she just answer that she didn't want to see me again. What I wanted to ask is : What'd happened to her?"

Her expressions was showed. Disappointed .

"I-I don't know, Kurama-kun. But, I didn't feel she's been acting strangely. Instead, it was the cheerful one she used to be." .Liar. She replied.

His handsome face showed a hurt look. 'so, she hate me. She only stay away from me. Not from everyone.' He thought.

"What did I do?" he murmured. Yukina bent her head down.

"Thank you Yukina-san. I guess, I must be going. Bye." He was about to walk, Yukina grabbed his hand. He turned to look at her.

"W-wait, Kurama-kun…," She stuttered. "W-would you like to accompany me to a store? I must buy the materials for cooks tonight. But, after that, we can have a lunch in the café." She waited his answer. He smiled kindly.

"I'd love to." He answered.

After took a bath, and get dressed, Botan went to the kitchen for breakfast.

Unfortunely, she forgot , again , to buy the materials for eat. She took her wallet, and walked to the door. When she reached the door, she stood there, remembered something.

"Kurama. What if I meet Kurama? No no, he…," suddenly, her thought laid on Yukina. Her eyes widened in realizations. 'Oh! I must help Yukina to get Kurama ! But I just brushed it off by avoiding Kurama. Oh, how stupid I am?!' She panicked. 'to help her get Kurama, of course I must talk to him, makes him loves Yukina. But, after last night, what should I do??' she thought confusedly. Confused totally of what should she do, she ignored it for a while, to make sure her stomach didn't complain because of a really hunger, and leaves her apartement to the store.

At the store, Botan searched what her needs for a month. But, what caught her eyes was something sharpened her eyes to see that a little more clear. When a hand poked her shoulder. Startled, she turned her head to look at who poked her shoulder.

"Yu-yukina-chan!" her eyes widened, and seem nervous.

Yukina smiled.

"Hello, Botan. What are you doing here?" she asked politely.

Botan looked at Yukina's basket to she the materials for cooks. She gave Yukina a fake smile and answered her.

"Same with you."

Yukina then frowned a little 'cause of Botan's sudden acted.

"Botan. You'll help me to get him, right? So , don't avoided him." She said.

Botan's eyes widened again.

"H-how did you know??" Botan asked.

Yukina smiled happily.

"Actually, I came here not alone. But with Kurama-kun. And after this, we'll have a lunch together." She paused. "And he tell me that you were avoided him." She replied.

Botan bent her head down in sad and hurt. Yukina noticed something. Yes, something in Botan's eyes. Tears . She frowned at that. But then she felt angry at Botan when a realizations hit her.

"You love him. too." She sounded mad . But being a feminine woman she was, she still in her sweet face. (AN : you can imagined her face when she felt mad, disappointed, or all the grim expressions on her sweet face. I'll try to makes her not OOC).

Botan's eyes widened , again.

"W-what? Yukina-chan! I didn't-"

"Yes, you did. Calm down, I'm not angry , Botan-chan. Just a little bit disappointed." She cut her off with a sarcastic smile.

Botan laughed with a sad laugh. "Haha. Yukina-chan. If I love him, maybe it's just an unrequited love . I don't even know if he loves me back or not. Or maybe he loves you! So, don't worry about that. But, please ,Yukina-chan, don't tell him that I love him. Please…," she begged Yukina.

Yukina smiled. "Of course , Botan-chan. If I tell him, I can't reach his love, right? But please, would you still help me to get him? You…you're my friends, right?" Yukina asked.

Botan sighed in relief when she heard Yukina will never tell him Botan's secret. To answer Yukina's request for help. 'Friends' she thought. And smiled sadly.

"Yes."

"Oh Thank you!" Yukina hugged Botan close. Botan closed her eyes while she smile. 'I must help her.'

Yukina pulled back from hug. Smiled very happily.

"Botan-chan, I've got to go. Kurama must be waiting for me. Don't forget to apologize to him of your behavior yesterday. So, you can makes him love me." She said. Botan nodded.

"But, Yukina-chan , don't tell him I'm here too." Botan thinks again about her second request, Kurama must be aware of her presence because of her scent or her ki.

"Don't worry, I masked your ki. I knew you would say that." Yukina answered Botan's unspoken question.

"Thanks." Botan whispered. Like she was going to cry.

"Ok. Bye." Botan nodded.

When Yukina was out of sight, Botan bent her head down again, always when she's sad , hurt, or feel a pain expressions. 'he will never love me. Yukina-chan , although without my help, you can have his heart. But, what does she mean by "if I tell him, I can't reach his love"?' She thought when tears started to run through her cheek. But quickly she wiped her tears. 'tomorrow , I must apologize to him. Yes, I will.' She smiled. Just befriended with him, it makes me happy too. Maybe just friend. She smiled again happily. She couldn't wait for tomorrow.
