Chapter 31- A proposal?

Since Botan known about Kurama's approbation in the first test, she could not talk to him the way she wished.
Kurama has always been involved in something, whether it's helping Yomi or attending other people. But there was still a lack of close contact, a time alone, so he could show how happy he was. Koenma was suspicious of his father, who launched a test without rules, i.e., if there are no established criteria, they would be created according to Enma's mood, which is not always the best. Byakuya want's to go back to his house. Going to the spiritual world inspired him to make even more beautiful jewels than he already does, and then win prizes all over the world.
Yomi will devote now a much longer time to Shura, which tends to increase responsibilities for Hoshiyomi, who is the third in the hierarchy, and the only one who is empowered to take decisions and take responsibility for them. Kurama does not have this autonomy yet, for reasons understandable as his little age and experience. Fortunately, Yomitan government is very limited and usually has few things to do, since most of the activities that keep the city working and growing are done by the residents themselves;

-Yomi, now I'm going home. Are you going to do something with Shura today?
-Goodbye Kurama. Yeah, I'm going to play with him for a bit to have fun too.
-Do not overdo it, Yomi, hahaha! If you need help, I'll be ready.
-You can remove this from your concern list, you know how I bear anythin ...

  Shura jump onto Yomi's lap, climbing over his shoulders and holding himself in his side horns. Kurama laughs;

-Anything? Are you sure? hahaha!
-Well, in that case Shura wins, hahaha. Take care of yourself, I suppose you will go with Botan home, do not you? Do you will switch to Youko?
-Yes, I will invite her. Byakuya can go too, Koenma did not want to because he needs to get in touch with Enma Daioh today, so he'll be in one of the guest bedrooms you've made. About youko, of course! My mom loves when I switch to Youko, I have promised to do it every day.
-I think I'm going to invite him to play with us. Being alone here is annoying, although if he is a vain man, he will have 1001 things to do in Yomitan's nightlife.
-Well, I never saw him wanting to do that, but anyway. Take care, see you tomorrow!
-Okay, Kurama, enjoy the great night you will have with Botan.

Kurama stops walking, and looks at Yomi;

-I... will have?
-I'm sure yes.

Kurama blushes, and follows out of the room;

-How Yomi is ... cheeky, hahaha!- Kurama laughs.

As soon as he leaves the door of Yomi's room, Botan awaits him;

-So, my Shu..?
-Let's go home? Certainly my mother is going to do a small party..
-Is it for us?
- Yes, sure!

The elevator arrives and they get into. Byakuya is already inside and pushes the button to the ground floor;

-Where were you, Byakuya?
-I went to the front desk, and I was talking with Hoshiyomi about some things of our time. He's an incredibly interesting guy to talk to, he fuckin wise!
-Hahaha Hoshiyomi is the third closest person for Yomi after me and Shura. You're very close in terms of age, are not you?
-Yes, we lived at the same age, but he reincarnated. I still have not died.
-I know Hoshiyomi has a very sad story behind its origins. Until today I have not fully understood the reason, but it is something that only his intense love for Tsukiyomi can explain.
-Both went to paradise together, doesn't they? This is something almost non-existent among the youkais- Botan explains.
-Do youkais tend to be evil, Botan?
-No, they can tend to be anything, or even change completely over and over again over it's lifetime. Youkai couples are very rare, but in the case of Hoshiyomi, it is a youkai couple with a human, which is even more difficult to happen.

The elevator gets to the ground floor and they come out. Tsukiyomi and Hoshiyomi give their compliments;

-Goodbye friends. Good night and see you tomorrow.
-Take care!

As usual, Byakuya is making some people twist their necks. Some hits themselves the power poles, others stumble or else they collide with other people just to see him;

-Hahaha Byakuya! You're a threat, you know?-Botan jokes.
-I just need to looks like my jewelry, that's my point, hahaha!

They quickly arrive on the subway and take a train to Kurama's house. Shiori, as usual, is stirring in her garden, and like all women, she also admires Byakuya as soon as she sees him. Kurama turns into Youko for the "beauty battle";

-Oh my dear ones, good night !!!

Shiori goes to Kurama, hugging him;

-Good night my Dear!
-Oh mom, hahaha!- Kurama blushes because his friends witness this.

Shiori hugs Kurama, and, not surprisingly, caress his ears;

-How cute, hahaha!

Kurama lets Shiori caress his ears. Botan and Byakuya laugh at that funny, cute situation;

-Hey, hahaha, come on, Mom, say hello to my friends too.
-Hihihi alright, my dear.

Shiori greets Byakuya, who extends his hand, gently;

-Hello Mr. Shiori, how long we haven't seen each other.
-You, you ... are so beautiful too ... hello!
-Ah, thank you! I sell jewels and ...

Botan punches Byakuya on head;


- IS THIS AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO DO THESE THINGS ???

Shiori gets scared, and Botan tries to maintain normalcy and pretend nothing has happened. Shiori smiles;

-Oh, hi, Botan, how are you? When you come here the flowers love it!
-Hello, Miss. Shiori. Oh really? That's good, hihihi, because now they'll be happy the entire month!
-All month? What do you mean?-Shiori does not understand.
-Come on Mom, let's go inside and I'll explain everything.
-Okay, son.

 Byakuya rearranges his ponytail, which Botan practically undid with the punch;

-Botan, you have no control over your strength, do you?
-Behave, I can punch more!
-No! I got it.
-Good to know, hahaha.

They settle in the living room. Shiori offers tea, and Byakuya is going to help her in the kitchen;

-Wait, Shiori, let me help you with my recipes!
-Oh, of course, you can come!

Botan and Kurama stand on the couch, and approach each other. Botan caresses Kurama's ears, looking sweetly at him;

-Well, we're together, my shu ...
-For now ... I know nothing about this second test Enma does ...
-I do not either, but I think it's nothing more than an experience of coexistence between us...
-Maybe that's it.

Byakuya helps Shiori;

-Oh, what interesting recipe, Byakuya, how do you understand it so much?
-Experience, Miss Shiori. Just like your son, I'm old, but I do not get old.
- How interesting this is, you are really pretty guys considering how old you are.
-I also know how to do everything you can imagine in terms of food, hahaha. This is because I have lived single for a long time.
-And you never had anyone? It seems to me that you have everything to be a good husband.
-No, I never had ... I know I could have it anytime, Kurama said that Yomitan twists his neck when he sees me, hahaha!
-I had a husband already, but he separated from me for reasons that only he knows ...
-He never told you anything?
-No, it just came out... And Kurama was only one year old.
-So he never met his father?
-He says he remembers him ... I doubt it because he was very young, but because he is so different, it can be possibly true.
-I'm so sorry about that ... and then you were not interested in anyone else?
-No, I've never met anyone who fits with me ... and I want it until today, but I confess it's hard.
-I believe you  have everything to succeed ... Would not it be because of Kurama that you can not get anyone?
-I do not know, I do not think that's relevant ... He's almost an adult and can stand alone.
-I've met people who do not like having children in the family. In Yomitan this seems to be more likely due to the size of the city.

Byakuya prepares the teas while talking;

-But I really want you be able to find somebody, Shiori, and be happy, and maybe, excuse me for daring, get a brother or sister for Kurama too.
-Hahaha Byakuya, no thanks. I will not want another child, Kurama is my jewel and it would be difficult to have to share my love equally with two!
-I know how it is ... Well, let's go?
-Yes of course!

Byakuya helps Shiori pick up the teas. Botan and Kurama are on the couch, sitting side by side and holding their hands;

-Here you go, my people!
-Oh, Byakuya, Mom! You were quick!
-Yes, you know how I am, son, hahaha!

Byakuya serves the teas. Shiori looks to Byakuya;

-He also has no one, or rather, he never had ... and he is so attractive, gorgeous, delicate, polite and knows how to do things ... Oh Shiori, your silly! He's your son's friend, how dare you! Hahaha, you can try, but please be discreet!-Shiori laughs.

-The tea is delicious, as always, Byakuya!-Botan praises.
-It's not just my appearance that needs to match my products!
-Oh Byakuya, how exaggerated, hahaha! - Kurama laughs.

And so they spend a few hours talking about the most diverse subjects while the tea ends. Sleep begins to catch everyone by surprise, especially Botan, who strut Kurama constantly;

-And how will be today, my son?
-Well, Mom, Byakuya and Botan will spend the night here, I think it's the wiser decision. There are mattresses in my room for them, only one can stay there because there is little space.
-Oh yes! If you want, you can stay in my room, there's plenty of space, or if both want it, it's also possible.

Kurama looks at Botan, and she is very sleepy, falling in his arms;

-Hahaha, I think you'll have to stay with Shiori, Byakuya.
-Of course. No problem. Do you mind?
-No, not at all! You can sleep there, yes.
-Then, that's it!

Byakuya washes the dishes. Meanwhile, Shiori and Kurama pick up the mattresses. Botan had already fallen asleep and nothing seemed to be able to wake her;

-Is she going to sleep confortably in this one?
-Of course, mom! Do not doubt.

Byakuya climbs the stairs and helps Shiori;

-I carry this, miss!
-Hahaha do not need, Byakuya, it's very lightweight.
-It's all right.

Shiori kisses Kurama on the cheek, not forgetting to caress his fluffy ears;

-Hahaha Mom, I feel ticklish when you do this.
-Sleep well, my diamond.
-Same to you. Oh, Byakuya, good night!
-For you, too, Kurama, take good care of Botan!
-No problem, I will!!

Kurama tests the mattress, and feels it too hard to leave Botan over it;

-She will wake up in pain, it  was intended to be used on a lawn, not in a hard floor, hahaha. Well, I'm going to bed with her, I think if I take care of it, I'm not going to knock her out of bed.

Byakuya arranges to sleep, first undoing his ponytail and removing all the clothes he can, being only with a shirt and his pants;

-Well, I'm going to bed now, Miss Shiori. Or do you want to talk more?
-Actually yes! But let's get closer to you so we don't need to speak so loudly to each other.

Yomi was also tired after spending the rest of the day playing with Shura, now, more conventionally. They did not fight, they just ran through the streets, which is not very common. The energy demand was great and Shura is already sleeping in his bed, which is next to Yomi's;

-I do not know why I did not do it before, it's really fun. Well, now it's good to restore the energies, I do not want Hoshiyomi to become overloaded just because I decided to play with my son.
