Speaking of holding her own, what demon class do you think she could end up beating within a year if Kurama really took her training seriously, as does she? MAYBE B? Too much? She barely fended off the Makai Insects during the Saint Beast arc, but she wasn't trained for much combat then. If they're to work cases together and Botan does not want to be a burden, I'm wondering if she might ask for training first, or if Kurama will need to bring it up? It can be something to strengthen her healing, and then she brings it up to him? And, as to the name dropping, the demon might not believe her. Yoko wasn't one to brag about his achievements, at least I don't recall him being one to brag. Any woman could claim their lover is whomever, but Botan dropping the name may not be enough, thus maybe the scent, or something Kurama gives her that proves she isn't just anyone in that world. Then rumors of Yoko's woman being a grim reaper--and a bombshell--start racing and then they eventually make their way to poor Koto xD Oh snap we didn't think about holidays! Botan's gotta be a witch I mean come on it'll be adorable >.> Kurama can be... we'll get back to that part xD I do think Kurama isn't one to start rumors or encourage their spreading. Yoko might. Hell, Yoko might put the word out that if he catches anyone trying to get comfortable with Botan, their days are fucking numbered xD but the Shuichi part of Kurama would never allow such a brash thing to happen haha. It'll be an interesting first week they spend together, that's for sure. Yes, it should get to the point where Yoko's reappearance from Kurama's base form might have some bold Demon's that are B-class or higher attempt to take him on, some with underhanded means like threatening Shiori--which never works out for anyone, I mean remember that blue fucker? REKT--and Botan is just a nail in the coffin. No mercy. They're done for. It'll be Botan's job to keep Shiori from freaking out once she sees Kurama straight slaughtering motherfuckers and transforming into someone else that is quite the opposite of Shuichi. Might also wanna sneak in a "I'm the grim reaper--well, one of many!" while she can xD and THEN Botan can get her safety loving.
