Karasu was having a jolly time with his contest. The “invitations” had been sent and everybody had said they were coming. Yes…he determined. Kura-chan had also accepted…Karasu sighed dreamily like a fan girl on chocolate.

There is an invisible line here.

Now then…Botan thought, giggling giddily. Time to watch some tapes! No, not just ANY tapes. The tapes on everyone's opinions of this contest! Yay! Botan pushed the tape in the VCR, and smiled as the first sign came up.

The sign reads: Kurama's Opinion…A Beautiful Fox…Botan sweatdropped as her giddy voice filled the room. “Hiya everybody! Botan here, taping the contestants/players for Karasu's Dating Show! Whoopee! First up's the main character of the show, Kurama! Also known as Shuuichi Minamino, or Youko Kurama!”

Botan twitched. Had her voice really come out that squeaky? She blinked, and then turned her attention to the screen as the sign faded to show Kurama sitting at a lone stool. Kurama twitches then looks up at the camera. He smiles, and though it is obviously forced, it looks beautiful nonetheless.

“Hello. I don't really know what to say…I'm supposed to introduce myself, but Botan-chan already did…” Kurama paused, looking contemplative. “Well, I suppose I will introduce myself again. I am Shuuichi Minamino…a.k.a. Youko Kurama, or just Kurama.”

“Now that Kurama's introduced himself, why don't you tell us what you think of this contest?” Botan's chipper voice cut through the silence. Kurama blinked. “Hm…I would think that this is albeit insane, due to the fact that all of the contestants are people whom I have fought/been partners with…

So I can't really say that will enjoy this, mostly because Koenma's trying to bribe me to pick Karasu…I really don't know why.” Botan chuckled nervously, muttering a quiet, “I wonder why…” Botan chuckled… “I can't believe I recorded that!”

Kurama smiled as Botan asked the next question. “Before you start, who would you pick right off the bat with your current thoughts on the contestants?” “With my current opinions of the others, there would be a very strong possibility that I would choose Kuronue.” He said thoughtfully.

Botan smiled. “Well then, that's it for Kurama currently! And now-” A sign comes up that reads: Yomi's Opinion…A Blind Ruler. Botan smiled, remembering the hard time she had had choosing who to pick after Kurama.

“Botan again. We've already taped Kurama, so here's our first minor character! Yomi, King Yomi, one of the three former kings of all Makai! He's the guy who voluntarily is giving his home up for a total of one month until Kurama chooses who he wants to be with!”

Yomi appears after the sign fades. “Hello. I am Yomi…” Botan sweatdropped…“Ok…So, what made you allow us to borrow your home?” Yomi stood up and made a gesture with his hands. “Kurama deserves only the finestplace to find his beloved; and my home is familiar scenery to him.

There really are no questionable motives here. Kurama is finally settling down, no matter if it against his will… I feel that if I take part in that, you see, we may become a little closer for when Youko finally comes out.”

Botan smiled nervously…this wasn't supposed to happen! Even if it did show that he was really smart. “Alright,” she said thoughtfully, “What do you think of this contest?” Yomi gave her a look that said, `What are you an idiot? Obviously I approve…because Kuramawill pick a lover.'

But since no one could SEE the look, he also replied, “I very much approve of this little…`contest', if you would call it that, because I could possibly end up with my…friend…yes, my friend…” He trailed off, muttering inaudible things.

Botan glared angrily at the screen, remembering all of the fury he had set her into! I mean, Botan had thought that Yomi would be, with Kurama, the easiest to interview! He was supposed to be better than the insane crow or the clueless bat! Pfft.

Botan was startled when she looked at the screen to realize that she had missed Yomi's reply to what he had thought about Kurama's little interview. Oh well…who really cared?

Another similar sign came up, reading a noticeable: Hiei's Opinion …Fire Midget Extraordinaire. The screen faded as Botan's figure appeared on the screen with Hiei in the backround. “Hi! Now this,” she gestured to the fire demon behind her, “is Hiei. Minor character, and also one of the most popular fan yaoi characters ever!

“You'll never see a more paired up male! (Excluding Kurama, of course) SO let's here what you think of this contest, Hiei!” Botan was met with Hiei's blank stare…STARE…She `eeped' and mumbled… Hiei growled. “Useless. Fox mine.” Botan screamed as he unsheathed his sword and was going to cut the camera apart.

A screen slid into place…Koenma was on this screen. He smiled, saying, “Due to damages, you're going to have a short intersession with me! Koenma! Enma Jr., Prince of the Spirit World! You'll be joining me as we make some apple pie. First you have to-” Koenma was gratefully cut off.

A new sign came up, reading: Kuronue's Opinion…A Clueless Bat. The screen faded to show Kuronue. Botan's chipper voice came on, once again. “Hiya! Welcome back! Our current suitor is Kuronue, Kurama's more recent former partner of a clueless bat, recently revived-” Kuronue's enraged voice came on, interrupting the blue haired spirit.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M A `CLUELESS BAT'! WE DIDN'T HAVE THESE STUPID `VOICE RECORDERS' AND `PICTURE RECORDERS' WHEN IWAS STILL ALIVE! SO KILL ME!” A sheepish Kurama's voice came on… “Relax, Kuronue, relax…Botan might actually kill you at this rate…Gomen nasai, Botan-chan.”

Kurama shuffled out of the room, carrying a much enraged bat. A sign reading `Please Stand By…' popped up. Kurama appeared in the screen, pushing a much more relaxed Kuronue into the room. Then he smiled, bowed, and left the room…

Botan prodded the bat, screaming when he looked at her and said in a drunken voice, “Y-es?” “W…well…I…I…was w-wondering if you would mind telling me what you think of this contest?” Kuronue fell forward, off his chair.

Kurama ran back into the room, picked Kuronue up, and said apologetically, “I think I gave him a little too much. Strange… Well, you should have all of his opinions…he really doesn't care, but he wants to win.” With that, he hauled Kuronue out of the room.

Botan gritted her teeth at that bat. Tranquilizers! She had had to get Kurama to use tranquilizers on the idiot bat! Botan failed to see the reason why Kurama picked that bat over the other two. Yomi was at least sane, and would probably make a good seme…Botan flushed scarlet, preferring to keep her yaoi fangirling down to a minimum.

But Kurama's face is so uke! So pretty…and whenever he gasps, it's not her fault she imagines one of his many fans coming down and ravaging the poor fellow…he has a really sexy body! Botan turned her attention back to the screen once more, and frowned as Karasu's Sign came out mangled.

It had been written as: Karasu…The Host Insane Crow. But now it just read: Karasu…The Hot Crow. With spaces, of course, where bombs obviously went off. “Um…hi? This is Ayame, filling in for Botan, Oh! There she is! Botan-san! Botan-san!” A peeved Botan came into view as Ayame handed off the microphone.

“Hi…darnit, I wanted to escape the crow, at least! This. Is. The. Insane. Crow. Who. Is. Currently. The. Host. Of. This. Contest. Karasu. Why. Did. You. Create. This. Contest?” She gritted out. Karasu smiled…sort of. You couldn't really tell with his mask on.

“WE-ll…I really actually created this contest for Kura-chan! `Cause he's waytoo hot to be single! And also the fact that everyone seems to overly happy about it, and I can't wait to sabotage the other contestants! Whoopee!” Then he ran out of the the room, cackling hysterically.

Botan sweatdropped, then a sign came up saying: And now…all of the contestants will be in the same room with their opinions. She moaned…not all of them at once! Well, at least Kurama was going to there…she sighed dreamily…

Botan scowled…sort of. It looked sort of like a lopsided smile. WHY had she recorded that! It made her look like a fangirl! Bleh…she was NOT a fangirl! She was a girl! Yes, yes…she flicked on the lights and stumbled out of the room, leaving the tape to continue playing over and over.

There is an invisible line here.

Kurama blinked, sneezing twice. “Hm…” he pondered, “I wonder if someone is talking about me…” “Sir, your gift has been wrapped up. Would you like it in a bag?” …Kurama nodded, cheerfully adding, “Yes please. That would be very nice.”

A flicker of ki fizzed in the street. Kurama spun on his heels, eyes scanning over the avenue to see who was there. Catching nothing, he glared and turned back picking up his package and leaving with it.

There is an invisible line here.

Karasu snickered as he watched HIS fox turn in the window. Meow. Yes! That was Karasu-The-Super-Awesome-Cat-Super-Dude! Karasu had spotted his lovely sidekick Kurama-Who-Can-Fight-While-Looking-Super-Pretty!

Karasu tipped his hat (which he had modeled after a `Robin Hood' person) back, smirking when the flamed-haired bishounen picked up his package and left. He continued to follow Kurama down the road, or he would have had his coat not snagged on some bark.

Karasu cursed, finding a mysteriously jutting out splinter that hadn't been there before. Aah…Kura-chan was sharp as ever. He pulled, tugging on his coat with a hefty amount of force, but it wouldn't budge. Karasu pouted unhappily, groaning and sitting in his tree, waiting for the gardener dude to come so he would be cut free.

Well, yes, Karasu COULD make the plant explode…but that would make Kura-chan unhappy. Extremely unhappy. And then Kura-chan wouldn't like him at all. That would be very bad… He pouted once more, and decided to draw some sketches in a handy dandy notebookâ„¢ he found in his pocket.

A couple hours later, he was found with a couple of crudely drawn pictures. The first was a chibi-fied Kurama sitting in a fetal position, while also in a part transformation. His hair was bleeding silver, and his eyes were slightly gold, as well as his skin a little lighter and he had two tails. He was grinning broadly.

With his arms around Kurama's shoulders, a chibi Karasu was nuzzling the side of his Kura-chan's face. It was adorable, and something that would have been considered an adorable picture if not for the barely visible bulge in the crow's pants and the wanton blush across the fox's face.

It was more perverted that way. It was REALLY perverted, but Karasu liked it. Yeah. The second was a tiny chibi fox curled around a chibi Karasu's neck. The chibi demon was petting the youko with barely suppressed glee. And the third-

“Hey. You're that dude who's holding the Kurama's contest, right? Nice ta meet you. I am Kuronue, former more recent partner of Youko! So there….Whatcha doin'?” Kuronue interrupted Karasu's thoughts as he leaned forward, trying to see the sketches.

Karasu glared. THIS was one of the contestants! NO, bat! He mentally screamed. You'll never get him alive! He's mine! MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE!

There is an invisible line here.

Kuronue looked at the…interesting freak in the tree. His cloak, easily slipped off and fixed, was hooked to a tiny splinter… Oh! Kuronue nearly squealed in delight. He grabbed the fellow's drawings and cut the chibi Kurama's out with his scythe, running away with them.

There is an invisible line here.

Well, thanks if you reviewed, and hope you liked the chapter!
