I got to vent to my friend yesterday which was helpful. Plus venting in person is probably easier but I will hit you up via PM if my fingers feel like unleashing the hell of a thousands suns. :3

They do have to walk a certain tightrope now if they're both willing to give things a serious try once things are over. As you pointed out, it probably won't come to that as they'll probably foster feelings well before it's over. Botan is open to a genuine relationship, though it just never crossed her mind. Considering all the crap that recently happened, she'd want to be careful around Kurama. He's a friend of Yusuke and an alley to Lord Koenma. At the same time, she can relate to his loneliness and wanting to not let life/opportunities slip by while being focused on one thing. 

I'm already working on a post now cause yours was just too inspiring to put off another day~
