Forbidden
Love
Chapter
One
Arriving
at the Reikai Palace, Botan fleetly went to her chamber. Lamentation still stays
in her face whatever way she put forth effort to hide it, however they still
flowed. But, George, Koenma’s blue oni assistant in his disordered office
becomes aware of it. He attempted to talk to her even a minute, but Botan ran
swifter, George can’t catch her.
“Something
bad will happen, I think,” George thought, rubbing his drawn-out chin. “And
I don’t think nobody will be gladdened connected with it…I better talk to
Botan-chan as much as possible…”
Reaching
her room, Botan throws herself helplessly on her bedstead. Stress and heartbreak
overwhelmed her. Closing her rose-colored eyes, her of Koenma-sama’s undying
memory forthwith entered her remembrance. She vividly remembered his charming
childlike form and his extremely handsome alter ego and her emotion thrills. Who
wouldn’t want a man that is too handsome and perfect, coupled with those dear
almond-shaped reddish-brown eyes and a loving smile, anyway? But as she noticed
her own reflection in her antiquated dusty mirror, her spirited face disappeared
in the thin air.
“Why
am I laughing when now I face a dilemma in a crazy thing called love?” Botan
asked bitterly herself in front of the mirror. “Is there a reason to laugh
when everything is not alright?” She slid her pale fingers on the filthy
surface of the mirror then a reflection of Koenma and his heavenly smile was
seen.
"Oh!
What happened?” Botan rubbed her confused eyes roughly and look back again to
the mirror and saw nothing but her face. “Oh it’s hopeless! I can’t keep
him away from my mind ever since that incident happen!” she slammed her fist
on the cemented wall. “Why? Why does this feeling have to happen? It follows
me everywhere! The best thing I can do now is I better go to sleep…”

“I
have no doubt that something will happen,” Koenma’s father, Lord Enma Daioh
closes his enormous eyes, rubbing his bushy forked beard. “Everything is the
same. But I feel wretched, I don’t know why. Could it be---no that is
impossible! I better take some rest or something else will enter my mind…”
he rested his body on his giant chair and go back to sleep.

A
damsel stroll slowly on the sandy beach shore admiring the wondrous setting of
the flaming golden-orange orb of life. Oddly, she was wearing drawn-out evening
gown that shine and sparkle like emeralds and her cerulean hair move freely on
the air, although it was crowned with fine jewels and golden trinkets. She
closed her eyes as well as her best friends in Makai, Ningenkai and Reikai. Her
dispirited and blissful days with them quickly dazzled her, reminding herself
how much she missed her. Heaviness of heart again weights heavier, for being
dressed in trimmings doesn’t make her contented.
“Botan!”
a familiar male voice shouted with glee. ‘Is that really you?”
She
turns back, seeing a blue-blooded person with a sign of JR on his forehead,
coming towards her with arms wide open. She grinned happily seeing that person,
her prince that she put into mind every second of her existence.
“KO---Koenma-sama! I missed you so much!”
Her
body perceived the infinite joy she thought she couldn’t feel. She was like in
the highest heavens. She clutched his fervent and passionate body against her.
Her Prince felt the same, probably even better.
As
the sun give its last one line of fire that afternoon they look at each other
affectionately, drowning at each wondrous and mystic eyes of devotion. Her
Prince held her nearer but carefully he leaned down, touching her soft fold of
flesh. Closing her dawn-tinted eyes, she savored his small but memorable
present.
“His
lips are so sweet,” the damsel contemplated, experiencing the glorified kiss
her Prince gave her. “I wish we can be like this…until the end of
time….”
Just
as soon as she opened her eyes, she breaks up at a leisurely pace her lips with
her Prince and caressed him tensely. “You promise that you will stick around
with me this way…throughout eternity…”
“What
do you mean?” the Prince questioned, chuckling a bit. “I promise to love you
forever, didn’t I?”
“Prince…I...”
“Yes?”
“I…”
“BOTAN-CHAN
WAKE UP!” George screeched loudly on her ear. “YOU’RE DREAMING AGAIN!”
Botan
opened her eyes seeing a blue monster in front of her “What?!”
Botan yawned, rising sluggishly, rubbing her eyes. “Oh, George-san! I
didn’t notice you are here!”
“All
ferry girls are called by Enma-Daiou,” George explained, pulling her up out of
her bed. “And he need all of you
fast! Even Hinageshi-chan is there…for Enma is enraging with anger…again!”
“Oh
my God!” Botan exclaimed, standing out of the bed. “Enma-san! I better
hurry!”
“Come
on!” he agrees, nodding his devious head violently. “I want to leave longer
you know…”
Botan take a last glance on her bed. “Even in dream,” she muttered to herself. “I didn’t have a chance to say him that…I love him…”
