Uhm guys… there’s a slight LEMON in here so… you are warned okey… don’t blame me…
Chapter 3
Botan gingerly rubs her eyes, getting over the sun shining up her face. She
glances around, searching for her insufferable (as always) employer. Is she
concerned? Or afraid of being left alone? She then searches for him. She goes
out the small cave and stretches herself up. The cave was not too small though
but you have to bend yourself a little to go outside.
“You're up!!” Koenma startles her from behind.
“Why the hell did you do that for?” she replied. Following him with her
gaze.
Koenma goes in the cave and put down the twigs he collected earlier. He sighs
and goes out again.
“Now… why are you looking at me that way?!” she asked. Botan can’t stand
how Koenma looked at her… it’s so… sincere… and serious.
“You have to take a bath.” He replied in a serious tone.
Botan gritted her teeth because of anger of their situation… and more of him.
“And your clothes… you have to wash them.” He added still serious.
Her eyes rolled and turns her back to him.
“Look who’s talking!!” she retorted back… her patience wearing off.
Botan’s kimono is really quite torn and dirty. Both of them looked dirty.
“What am I suppose to do huh?” she added glancing at him then turning again.
“C’mon follow me…” he replied clasping his right hand with her left.
Botan agreed and follows him. Her mind full of confusion. What is he up to?
After some time, they both ended up in the heart of the island, the place became
misty, and all you can see are shadows of trees… is it? No one knows. Koenma
stops and lets go of her hand. He signals her to open the hanging plants in
front of her.
“Wow.” She exclaimed with amazement.
Neither of them knows that a wide lake-like hot spring was in here. They smiled
knowingly. Koenma walks away from her, stops a few gaits away from her and
started to undress. Botan blushed as she found herself looking at him while
undressing… she felt like a… pervert or something.
Botan walks a few steps from where she stood and began to undress. She released
her tresses, and slowly steps into the hot water.
“Hey! You okay there?” Koenma shouts.
Botan searches for him and found his silhouette from the mist. Koenma was
standing in front of her in the other side of the spring. Botan manages to
answer and closes her eyes savoring the peace the water gave her.
They started yelling out a conversation.
“Since when did you find this?” Botan asked. Resting her head in a hanging
branch.
“Last morning, I was picking up twigs and I searched the place.” Koenma
replied.
“And don’t worry, the island’s harmless.” He added.
“Do you think the others are looking for us now?” she manages to ask back.
“I think so, it’s been three days now.” He replied.
Deep silence ensued and the both of them kept it that way.
Botan felt something biting at her back so she gently touches it. She felt
something slimy at her back. She reaches to the other side and touches another
one. She stands up, and tries to pull one away from her shoulder. She eyed it
with terror.
“Aaaaaaaah!!” Botan screeches, running towards the peaceful Koenma on the
other side.
“Take them off!! I hate leeches!!” she exclaimed turning her back to him.
Koenma was startled and started to desperately remove the small leeches crawling
up to her. It was hard but he manages to move them all out.
“It’s okey… it’s all gone now.” He said.
Botan sighs and faces him.
“Thanks!!” she replied not aware she’s naked… they’re both naked. (aaaack!!)
Both of them stared at each other for a minute and they turned away, they both
didn’t say a word. Too red and embarrassed to talk.
The mist started to come in, much thicker than before. They both moved back
wards and started to bump into their backs. (aaaaack again, they’re both
naked!! ^ ^;)
Botan started to move close to him.
“Look, it’s o.k. right?” she asked feeling his back with her.
“Wha—t?” he replied blushing more.
“Pervert!! I mean, the mist is thicker so we cannot see each other.” She
replied. Turning to face him.
“Where are you anyways?” he asked trying to tap her.
Unfortunately he tapped one of her…....and hell broke loose, a floating fist
went to his face.
“Damn it!! don’t you do that!!” she replied slightly blushing.
“What did you expect me to do?! I’m like blind for heaven’s sake!!” he
retorted palming his now sore jaw.
Botan submerge her body to the water. Koenma does so, and both of them lay
beside each other their backs relaxed in the smoothed rock wall behind them.
“Koenma, we’ve been friends… since we’re kids right?”
“Yeah… so?”
“Well… you're… getting weird lately.”
“Weird? I’m always weird to you right?”
“No… I mean… you haven’t talked to me recently.”
“Why? Is there anything to talk about?”
“Why can’t you tell me why you got drunk?”
“I told you… it’s a party!”
“I know… but still…”
“What?”
“Remember this girl you like when we were little?”
“No.”
“You liked her so much… but yet you can’t spit it out to her…”
“Yeah so? What’s got to do with me being drunk?”
“And when you finally told her, she tells you she doesn’t like you.”
“Straight to the point PLEASE.”
“That’s when you started to drink Coffee.”
“So what’s that gonna do with? There’s a first thing for everything
right?”
“… so who’s the girl?..”
“What?”
“Is she worth it? Is she worth getting drunk?”
“She’s more than that she’s my…”
Botan stands up not waiting to let him finish. She goes for her clothes and
leaves him. Leaving him thinking… is she jealous? Or… afraid of the leeches
to come back?
“It’s you… Botan…” he whispers as he gazes at her form… slowly
walking away.
