Why not a mix of all three: Goshi's arrogance, Botan's energy and closeness to Yoko, and suspicion that she may be someone from Spirit World given how quickly she entered the school after these suicides occurred along with her distinct spiritual energy?

It's just using the Yoko portion to heighten his abilities, since while in the Shuichi base form he's pretty gimped in all things. The lackey could be distracting Kurama, and then tip Kurama off either intentionally or not that Botan is in danger? Botan being snappy and unpleasant is a warning sign since that's clearly not her, but given the stress of the case he may not figure it's much more than concern that they're not making any immediate progress? Could Yoko ever separate from Shuichi and actually warn him of things happening elsewhere?

It's not so much regret I'm worried about since I trust you to know a good idea from a bad one. It's that I don't want you to feel like you're doing all the work because I'm so sleepy. Botan being popular in her first day does make her a huge target, but I must ask: would neither Goshikuro or the lackey be aware that she's actually a reaper? Goshikuro is strong but he's not the type to acquire intel unless absolutely necessary, so maybe he doesn't know of who she really is, just that apparently she's Kurama's girlfriend, which means she's something he can use to hurt him. I don't think Botan would be seen as a threat as much as something used to cause Yoko pain.

Yes to saving her from herself and snapping her out of her trance, but we must figure out a reason for Kurama not to see it sooner. No one saw the other two students killing themselves coming. Kurama wouldn't expect Botan of all people to be the next target. Without detection equipment, equipment Botan owns, he wouldn't be able to pick up on any residual influence. Maybe in his normal form it's not possible to sniff out the corruption of Botan's energy, but in his Yoko form he could? Should he transform momentarily just as he begins to realize that Botan isn't herself JUST before she's in a position to take her own life?

We're giving it an entire week before he moves again? Alright. I'm a little tired right now (as it's midnight) so forgive me if I'm not brimming with genius at the moment. We need an identity of a student the lackey is possessing, but it can't be someone who stands out too much and keeps to themselves like Kurama. I think because Botan is stronger in spiritual energy than the average human it may take a great deal longer for the suicide thoughts to fully emerge, but Kurama and Shiori do start to see her attitude change as Friday approaches. Maybe she's more aggressive or uncharacteristically quieter? Kurama would see the signs though, so there has to be a reason he wouldn't break her out of it earlier than when she's about to kill herself.

Man all my partners end up having timezones three hours behind mine xD gotta push myself for some talks.

Right now I'm thinking that after the demon, it's okay for them to jump to the next day in the greenhouse so Botan can learn of her gift and also have Kurama use that time to tell her more about combat. We can wait until Friday for the lackey to start eyeing a new target, which could actually be Botan, who Kurama ends up saving like we said?

Sapphire Roses

What's nightfall for you?

I have an idea of what Kurama will do with the demon, but as far as dialogue and reaction to Botan the picture isn't entirely clear yet. You want to work out the rest of the week, yeah?

Sapphire Roses

I think we did, but we'd need to go back through our mental notes and see. Not tonight though, totally a dead end.

Gotcha!

Sapphire Roses

Hah, that sounds like one hell of an AU. Botan should write a fanfiction involving them xD Understood, I'll be laying down soon myself, and I'm also glad we're picking up again. Hurray for house to yourself, not only because that's awesome for anyone, but because it means GoT is even more of a possibility! And planning is our thing, but let's not get TOO swept up in it, maybe just a week ahead of now?

Sapphire Roses

Oh my freaking god it would be hysterical.

LOL Yoko having fun during open heart surgery. I can't even xDDD

So instead of Yoko being Mario and Botan being Peach, they exchange roles? Botan saves YOKO'S ass somehow? I think the opportunity will definitely arise later on! Either Goshikuro related or something of that nature that she does help him with, and it'll be great! Yoko and Botan as Legendary Bandit lovers? Ayyy, Bonnie and Clyde type shit, only with a far less depressing ending >.>

Sapphire Roses

Oh Christ, fuck the theme song, how would the INTRO look? You got a bubbly beauty like Botan, and then some short little asshole like Hiei just not wanting to deal with anyone's shit. HOLY HELL I would pay to watch that shit Gen, you have NO IDEA XD

What do you mean by enjoy any blood? Yoko ain't a vampire xD

Totally. But would Yoko have any tact in doing so? He'd rarely appear in his full form, but when he tells Botan he's going to tell her in such a way that she knows she can't refuse him. Yoko will have his ways. I think, all sexiness aside, Botan would feel as vulnerable as she would safe in his presence. So when he says he'll kill someone that brings her to tears, she knows it, and she could feel it, too. Ah, LOVE~

Yet somehow get like seven seasons xD

I think Kurama would end up discovering some natural cures and pursue the field of medicine. He loathes fighting and loves the natural world. The easiest option is of course just being a businessman of some kind. No matter what though, he'd be successful in it. He's the fucking MAN.

I think Yoko might end up bringing it up--not KURAMA, YOKO--in a sort of romantic way. Because his eye is on her, he would be promising to destroy those that ever make her feel that terribly again. And he'd mean it. Botan can't put a leash on him like she could Shuichi. So she'd know all along, but Yoko would be bold enough to confirm it while in his true form. Anyone that hurts her, dies.
