Prologue
The
beautiful woman was looking out into the night sky, her long blue tresses
flowing with the wind. She was caressing her tummy enlarged now by pregnancy.
She stiffened as a pair of hands coming from behind embraced her, but then she
relaxed and rested her head contentedly on the chest of the handsome, hazel-eyed
man upon recognition. They stayed that way for a while until the man broke the
silence.
“How are you feeling sweetheart?” he asked as he kissed her
temple.
Letting out a soft moan, she replied, “Better, now that you’re
here.”
“And the baby?”
“Let’s just say he’s already asleep…”
Silence fell over them once more as the couple stared out into the
starry night.
“The skies always looked beautiful here in Ningenkai…” the
woman whispered softly.
Yes, the crowned prince of Reikai is staying for the moment at
Ningenkai with his wife, the cheerful Reikai ferry girl and guardian deity of
the dead, Botan. The two have been married for two years now. This time it’s
already Botan’s ninth month of pregnancy on their first child and the two had
decided that the modern hospitals of the human world is the best place to
deliver the baby. All Koenma’s work is delivered to him for convenience.
“You’re right, and the night sky is especially beautiful
tonight,” Koenma nuzzled Botan closer.
“I can’t wait for our child to be born,” Botan mumbled, a
smile forming on her lips.
“I wish it would be a boy, Honey.”
“Well I would love to have a girl.”
“Botan…”
“Okay, let’s not fight over this one.”
The two stopped talking for a while and resumed their watch on the
stars.
“Botan…”
“Yes dear?”
“What are you thinking of?”
Botan let out a sigh before replying, “I was just thinking about
us. I’m so happy that you’re here with me. Add the fact that we're about to
have a baby. We’re so far from the times that we almost lost each other…”
her eyes sparkled.
Koenma made Botan face him and looked her straight in the eye.
“Honey, those things would never happen again. Nothing can take you away from
me and I will never leave your side again.” He then embraced her tightly.
After a while, he slightly loosened his hold and gazed at her beautiful face.
“I love you Botan…”
“Oh Koenma, I love you too…” she gazed back at him.
