All right were just gonna sum up a good part of last week. First of all, Botan got out of the hospital Sunday, in perfect health. Koenma has been trying to understand his strange new feelings for Botan, and today is on the verge of figuring it out. Botan, meanwhile, has been getting a lot of extra attention from our little prince, who seems to have decided to stay in his bishounen teenage form. Nobody here is complaining. Right Venus?

*Drool, Drool*... oh, uh, what? I was just observing Koenma-sama, Diana, I didn't hear what you had said.

What do you have in your hand?

What, this? Oh it's just a cup full of water, erm, yeah, nuthin but a cup of water.

What does it say on the side?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Gimme that! Hey! This says 'Drool Bucket' on the side of it. Venus!

*Drool, drool* Oh...Uh...what were you saying?

Like I said, everyone likes this new change in the prince's appearance, but they like his change in attitude even more. Ever since the uh "pizza incident" as we like to call it, he's been a whole lot kinder. Oh, by the way, his obsession with pizza has disappeared...

Anyways, Now back to your favorite story, Comedic Irony at it's Best! With your favorite hosts, Diana and Venus! We'd also like to mention how we print no subliminal messages in our stories, and don't flaunt our sponsors. In no way. No way what so ever.



Koenma opened his can of Pepsi. Slurping the sweet, sugar filled soda made him lick his lips with pleasure. "Mmmmmmm...Hey, you know, I think I'd like a Big Mac, from my local McDonald's, found in nearly every NingenKai city in North America and Europe. I sure do enjoy that new dollar menu that lets you choose what you want."

George entered the room. "Hey, did someboddyyy sayy McDonalds?" He asked, singing his question to a certain tune.

"Oh hey George-san! How is my favorite Oni this morning?"

George shook his head. For some reason his boss had been acting so weird all week, and George couldn't figure out why. "I'm fine, boss. Hey, why have you been acting so strangely this week?"

Koenma thought about George's question for a moment. Why had he been acting so strangely? He'd been so ecstatic everyday ever since Botan woke up from her coma, but had no idea why. Ever since then, the world seems 20 times better. Work isn't even a chore anymore!

Realizing George was still waiting for an answer, Koenma responded. "Um, I really have no idea, George-san! But, I sure do enjoy being so happy!"

George only shrugged, and left Koenma's office. Right as he was leaving, our favorite ferry girl appeared.

"Ohayou, George-san! Have a nice day, okay?"

"Good morning to you too Botan-san. See you around!"

Koenma's eyes lit up as he saw Botan enter. "Koenma-sama! What are you doing in your office, on your day off! It's Sunday, remember?" She asked, cheerful as ever.

"Thinking." He responded.

"About what?"

"You."

The words caught Botan in surprise. She cocked her head to the side. "What about me?" she said, with a curious/nervous look on her face.

Koenma had no idea where this was going; his mouth seemed to be just moving itself. Before he even knew it, more words had come out. "Oh, nothing much. I was just thinking about how, well, about how you always have that beautiful smile...And how I often just get lost in your eyes, and how your exquisiteness seems to just capture me sometimes..."

Botan blushed. Now that was totally out of the blue! "Koenma-sama...why are you saying this...?"

Koenma stood. "Because, I think I just realized something, Botan-chan. I don't know how you feel about me, but one thing is sure, I love you Botan."

Okay, so your prince/boss/best friend is acting all weird lately. You come in to say hi, he starts flattering you. You ask him what he's doing, he says he loves you. Taking this all in, in the time period of say, oh, 2 minutes, wasn't very easy on our Botan. Shaking her head, she tried to make out some words, "What? What? What did you say?"

"I love you, Botan!" he repeated. Koenma's eyes pleaded for a reaction, something that said 'I love you too', or maybe a 'Really?' or anything...

Botan could only stare at him. This might explain why he was acting so weird around her lately. She just shrugged it off, thinking it was a weird mood swing or something, but suddenly it hit her like a cannonball to the forehead. He loved her. Did she love him? She wasn't sure...

This was all happening too fast, and was so new to her. She never had even dated anyone before. Of course, there aren't that many guys willing to date ferry girls anyways, so that isn't much of a surprise...

Botan started to compute what she should say to Koenma.

For one thing, they've been friends for a while, and he's cute. On the other hand, this will be hard to hide, or they might even tell everyone, and there would be a whole lot more attention coming her way, good and bad. What's a poor ferry girl to do?

"Koenma..."

"Yes?" Koenma looked at Botan. She seemed nervous, almost afraid. Well, if she's nervous, he's terrified! I mean, he just expressed his feelings for her; he just blabbed it out. She must think he's an idiot....

"Koenma...I have to go..." And before he could stop her, Botan was gone.
