I never understood how people can only play one gender. I know some people might have gender preferences, but I find it nonsensical that they believe themselves incapable of playing the opposite sex most of the time. That's one of the most disappointing things about a fellow writer sometimes. They put gender before person. Take away the penis and the vagina, and you're still writing a human being. Give them life. I hope you find some partners capable of making you happy and working closely with you ^^ but, then again, I love having you more ;3

Yeah they won't be fresh. It's probably safe to say that they haven't 'gotten any' in a long time given Botan's very job focused and Kurama has, like you said, been focused on other things and hasn't found the girl that can handle what he really is. I'm certain he'll manage to surprise her the first time they join both body and soul <3

Working on the post, should be up within the hour. 

EDIT -- There we are. Kinda wanted to set the stage a little more as to how Shiori will look at Botan as she explains. Those gears in her head are TURNING. I think Botan and Shiori will become very close, and she will definitely approve of their eventual relationship. She ships them already xD
