Chapter Five
Botan and Kurama arrived at Kurama's house 20 minutes later. Before she realized that her hand still grabbed his, he tightened his grip on her, not wanting to let go. But, it's too soon for her to realized this. And immediately let go of his hand. She looked into his eyes with pleading eyes, tell him to understand. He gave her a confused looks. She looked away, and walked to the door to see everyone was waiting her and Kurama.
Yukina walked towards Botan, and hugged her.
"Where have you been? Where's Kurama?" She said , looks like 'worried'.
"H-he's at the outside." Botan replied. Yukina smiled at her and walked past her before said "thanks".
Botan bent her head down in sad. Then she walked away to join the others.

Yukina saw Kurama sat on the chair outside the door. She walked to approach him.
"Hello, Kurama-kun, why don't you join us inside?" she asked .
Kurama smiled at her.
"I'll be there in a minute. I just want to stay here for a while." He replied.
"Can I join you?" she said.
"Sure, you can. Come, sit beside me." He said.
"Thanks." She blushed.
At first, the situation is silent. But, Yukina decided to make a move.
"Kurama-kun, if you have any time at tomorrow, mmh , uh, w-would you like to accompany me at the park that have ice cream shop…mm?" she asked, nervous.
He thinks for a while, and something inside his mind asked him. Botan . He smiled happily, before said,
"Of course, Yukina-san. But, i would very happy if we can invited Botan too. Is it okay ?" Yukina's expression turned dark. She become angry at Botan. Why her?! She thought. But, after she thinks again, an evil plan entered her mind. She smiled and said ,
"Sure, she can join us." Kurama's expression now was bright. He was planning to tell something to Botan. "Thank you , Yukina-san. Come on, we have to go inside." He said, she shook her head.
"You go on, Kurama-kun. I still have something to do." He nodded before went inside.
After she sensed he was left, her face frowned with sad, angry , peevish, and of course , she now, hated Botan for it.
"You promised me , Botan. Even if I knew that Kurama loves you, I'll make sure, you'll never know it. And you'll see, what I can do for it. You'll regret it for ever love him, and for stole him from me." She said. Her eyes now gleaming with tears. "I hated to do this to y-you. You're my bestfriend. B-but I can't forgive you for this."
She heard someone familiar speak,
"Yukina. What are you doing here?" Hiei. She knew that he was her brother now.
"Brother, nice to see you." His eyes widened in surprise and nervous when he looked into a crying girl.
"Why are you crying?" he asked. A little nervous.
She bent her head down in sad (like Botan did).
Hiei scanned her, then he used his jagan to be able read her mind.
Five minutes later, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Y-you. H-how, s-since when?" he asked in disbelief.
"Since the dark tournament. I-I really love him, brother." She said in tears.
"Hn. If you love him , why don't you tell him the truth." He suggested. She was crying a little hard right now. That makes him uncomfortable. "Stop crying." He said.
"It's b-because, he d-didn't love me. He loves someone else." Hiei's expression turned dark.
"Who is it," it wasn't a question. He demanded her to tell him NOW.
"What are you going to do if I tell you who it was?" she asked first, worried for what he was going to do.
"I'll kill her for you, if you want." He replied. Her eyes widened in panick.
"D-don't." she said.
"Why? If she died, you can have Kurama." He asked , confused.
She recalled again her last conversation with Hiei two months ago.
Flashback
It was wintertime. Yukina told Hiei that she would sleepover in Botan's apartement. Hiei, being a protective brother, decided to join her too. In Botan's apartement, has a beautiful garden, and a tree in there. Hiei would sleep on the tree.
Then, in the morning
Hiei sat on the tree as usual. Suddenly, someone calling him.
"Hiei ! It's cold now, why don't you join me inside? It's winter, you'll be frozen if you still in there!" It was Botan.
"Hn. Do what you want . I'm not going inside." He replied coldly. Botan make a 'sad' expression as if she was about to cry. She knew Hiei can't standing to see a girl or woman crying especially a woman he know. You know, he would nervous if that happened.
"H-hiei, I always w-wanted to be close to you. W-why you always distant yourself f-from me?" She said while 'crying'. Hiei looked at her with his eyes widened and nervous. 'got you!' she thought.
"Shit. You. Don't cry a-anymore. It's a-annoying-" she 'cried' a little harder. "Stop crying. I'll go inside." He said. Her face turned bright.
"Yay! That's worked!" She laughed. His eyes widened when he realized something. 'shit. She's just pretending.' He thought.
She jumped up and down, happy.
"One more thing, woman." She stopped. Looking at his back.
"What is it, Hiei? Did I upset you?" She asked. Worried.
"I never have a thought of distanting myself from you." He said before he went inside.
Her eyes widened. "H-Hiei…?"
They didn't know someone was watching them. Yukina smiled.
Days by days was passed. Yukina and Hiei almost two weeks sleptover in Botan's house. Sure, Botan always go on a date with Kurama, but Yukina always find her with her brother at Botan's garden. They always talking eachother. She noticed that her brother has a feeling for Botan. But what makes her worried was Botan's feeling for Hiei , just as a friend. She knew Botan was in love with Kurama. Not Hiei. And to makes it worse, Yukina was in love so badly at Kurama too.
Then , she decided to ask her brother about his feeling for Botan.
She searched Hiei everywhere to find him at the sofa in Botan's apartement. She only know his place was a tree. She realized that Botan wasn't at home. As usual , Botan was on a 'date' with Kurama. She sighed and approached him.
"Hey, brother. Would you like something to eat? Or drink? I'll make it if you want." She asked. He shook his head.
"Hey brother, I wanna ask you something," she said.
"What is it,"
"u-um..err..do you like Botan? Mostly, do you LOVE botan?" she asked.
Hiei's eyes widened. He began to sweat.
"Come on, brother. Don't be shy. I noticed you. So, answer me!" She said slyly. He sweated again. Then relaxed a bit, and said,
"I do." Yukina's eyes widened.
"As I thought," she said.
"What is it with you if I do love her," he asked
"I want you to tell her the truth." She replied. He sighed.
"She already loves someone." He said expressionless. Yukina startled.
"So, you knew." She looked up at him in angry because of his cowardliness. "There's always a chance! We didn't know if Kurama loves her back or not!" she said.
Hiei has a hope now. "Maybe." He said.
Yukina smiled. "Good. But not enough! You will say what I said. 'I would never give up on her, and she'll be mine, even if I must kill her as the first move'." His pride came up. He sweated again. But didn't say anything. Yukina frowned.
"Come on, brother. I thought ,you really like to kill." She said.
He sighed and said, "I would never give up on her, and she'll be mine, even if I must kill her as the first move."
"Yay! That's good to hear! Look, if you're so brave to kill a hundred demons ,you won't afraid of her to ONLY find her love." She really gave him advise. He smiled, and nodded.
End of flashback
Yukina was really sad. The fact that their love was unrequited. She and Hiei.
"You love her," she said. His eyes widened, but a little confused.
"The one Kurama was in love with, was the one you love. Botan." Hiei ,unable to stabilized himself, sweated. But not because of nervous, but angry. Not only Yukina was broken heart, but him also.
"Remember what I said two months ago? I suddenly recalled it by myself. I'm sorry , if the fact was this hurt. I shouldn't have given you hope of Botan's love." She said sadly. But, worried over something. "You didn't think of kill her, did you?" she asked.
Hiei was silent.
Silent.
Then he said, "I'll kill her for you,"
"What? D-don't , brother, she was my bestfriend!" She said. Panicked.
"I would never give up on her. And she'll be mine. Even if I must KILL her as the first move." When he said it, he was gone. Which makes her really worried. But still, something inside her agreed at Hiei's decision of kill Botan. If Botan died, she will have Kurama only for herself.
Her instinct finally took over. She smiled evilly.
"I hope you're right , about to kill her, brother."
00000
Kurama never stop watching Botan. She really felt uncomfortable when she knew his eyes on her. She decided to talk to him.
"Something's wrong?" she asked. Everyone's at the other room, so they were alone.
He shook his head. "No. But I was wondering if you want to go with me tomorrow-"
"Didn't I tell you that we'll never be close like before?" she cut him off.
He frowned, but turned to smile. "Yukina will join us, too." He said. Her eyes widened.
"What?" she startled
"Yes. She asked me if I would join her to the ice cream park. And she was happy when I asked her if you could join too." Botan couldn't believe her bad fate. She didn't want to join them, afraid of she or Yukina will be hurt. But his pleading eyes wouldn't let her answered 'no' to him. She sighed
"O-okay, if Yukina would join too." She replied.
He smiled. He took her hands with his. And he closed the distance between them. Botan was nervous right now. She looked into his eyes. His eyes was piercing hers. Just looked at him, it makes her want to end it. He leaned down to capture her lips. Her eyes widened, 'oh no! he wouldn't do what I was thinking he would do, right?' she thought, panicked.
Just one inch again, he would capture her lips, she backed away a little, but her face still close to him.
He realized that she didn't want him to kiss her. His eyes showed her the hurt he was feeling. She feels slightly guilt of her action that made him hurts.
He smiled sadly before lift up his face, and kissed her forehead, not so fast, not so long. But he can feel her skin on his lips. Also with her fragrant .
He pulled away eventually.
"I'm glad you would join us. Tomorrow, be ready at 09.00 AM. We'll pick you up." He said. Then, he left her here alone.
Botan's eyes began teary. "I want to kiss you so badly , Kurama. But I can't. I would never betray Yukina. I'm sorry." She said, and then she was crying silently, so the others wouldn't find her in tears.
She didn't know that Hiei was watching her with his sword in his grasp. He knew, he was being selfish. At first he was prepared to pierce his sword right into her heart as soon as Kurama was gone in sight. But when he heard Botan said 'I would never betray Yukina', it makes him stop his plan. Silently, he put back his sword behind his back. And walked slowly, away from her. Afraid when he still in there, he would kill her right there and right now.
