I do think Botan would hint to Kurama that she does need a place to stay at the funeral maybe. She would want to fill him in on what she knows (which wouldn't be a lot at the moment) at some cafe or someplace private? And I do think we wanted Botan and Kurama to have that appearance of a couple, both of their benefits. Botan would be struggling with the class and assignments so having Kurama on her arm would deter some of the girls from being bitches (somewhat deter anyway). And with the girls swarming Kurama, having Bota would make them hopefully back off. Plus Botan would probably be better looking than most girls at the school, so it would be fun to play around with that. Well, there's a lot to play around with...
