Didn't Kurama and Shiori live in an apartment? Ah well. Option 2 looks good. It also helps that the bedrooms are just a step away, since Shiori will have Master, and Botan/Kurama are free to conduct some business... and some business on top of that business ;3333

Hired girlfriend? Hooooly shit I'd bust my gut laughing. Fuck bullies, I second that. Let's go with a few female students who crush on Kurama being petty with Botan. Male-wise, I think Kurama can keep some men away who don't understand the position they're in. He'll remind them who Botan is with. There won't be a third reminder though :O

Yeah but I take things a lot harder than you, you know that. As for a reference, it's the blue one right? I don't think I need a reference for it, unless the uniforms at Kurama's academy are far different than the ones Yusuke attends?
