Yeah I agree there. Maybe she just doesn't plan on taking her craft any farther, and that's fine. Doesn't hold us back any. 

It does make some sense. I think Kurama at his base can fall in love with Botan as she is, but the Yoko part of him would want more from who is to be his mate. He'd want strength in both power and emotion, and bravery as well, with plenty of intelligence behind the beauty. He wouldn't expect her to be as strong as him, but she'd be strong enough to give anyone a good fight. And bravery could be bravery enough to just stand up to him about something and not show any fear. Botan's gotta have a dom side to her xP 

I don't know about graduating; I've fallen behind so much. School just isn't worth it some days. Steve Jobs didn't go to college and look what he accomplished. I wonder if I can do the same with writing. 

I'm happy saving any other questions and Shiori/Botan moments until after dinner, where we can resume it. I say nudge them to the school and after that we can work on the clues they may eventually find. Kurama's face might be one of embarrassment; it was bad enough when his mother made the assumptions, but now his peers are growing involved. Who would have thought that Kurama would show up with such a beauty one day? The guy didn't even date at his own school. Secret girlfriend? Oh boy~

That sounds like a reasonable schedule to me, but we CAN shave off a class if there was such thing as a club for Kurama. Maybe there is some sort of gardening club or whatever that he can be a part of, and Botan joins to help keep them together. Maybe it even becomes a new hobby of hers she never knew she'd love? If that happens then we can say school ends at around 4 and clubs are around for a couple more hours after that. We can manage to work in minor cases during the next few weeks. It could be minor demons that Kurama trains Botan on how to combat (since he'd slaughter them) and Botan can show Kurama how she tends to her job. Maybe he can help calm someone down in her stead to prepare them to pass on?
