xD Well, I was never really hype about them, but I do agree that Keiko needed to be more than just a childhood friend for me to care for her. Generic love interest is generic love interest. Zzzzzzz...

Don't break my heart dude :C Be gentle to my emotions! And aww shit modifying the signature bat. Botan could totally join the women's softball team if she had time! But alas, she must ferry souls, defeat demons, and love her legendary bandit with cuddles. I'm feeling the dying plant saving idea. If Botan can mold personal spirit energy together like the others, she could totally attempt to revitalize it with her own strength. The reason Kurama didn't is because he was maintaining it as a human, rather than cheating, but it's okay for Botan, good practice!
