Disclaimer: I don't own *YU YU HAKUSHO*. If I did Hiei, Botan & Kurama would be having a love triangle in the middle of the dark tournament. Oh well here's a short and sweet story.

One rainy day

Chapter-1

Why does it hurt?

It was the middle of July….thus indicating the sign of monsoon...

Botan was lazing around all day long since she had been given a month off by Koenma…She didn't have anything productive to do

She could visit her friends but everyone was busy with their college….everyone except a certain fire dragon…but she'd rather be bored than be "Hn-ed to death by Hiei."

So she just continued being bored….

After some time she got up to see what date it was and she almost let out a shout when she saw the date. She said to herself "Damn it! How could I have forgotten?" feeling guilty that she had forgotten something really important.

Meanwhile….

A certain fire dragon who had been training all day long decided to get some rest on a tree near the park! Coincidentally, Botan's house was nearby well he knew that already but maybe it wasn't a coincidence that he was there in the park maybe he was trying to bump into that crazy ferry girl…..he thought to himself " That girl has been driving me crazy….she's been doing it more often for the past few weeks now"

-*Flashback*-

One fine day when Hiei was resting in the park after his training when he heard a very familiar voice call out to him "Hiei is that you?" said the deity of death.

She looked at him with her pink eyes and was hoping he'd be nice to her and answer her back but as usual she was disappointed…It was Hiei after all.

"Hiei come on I'm talking to you will, you answer me already" she said! Still no answer from him

She got tired of waiting for his answer and began to climb up the tree slowly she climbed on step after the other. "I'm doing pretty good, not bad Botan" she thought to herself as she slowly made her way up. Jst as she took another step she slipped and began to fall. She thought to herself "Am I going to die?" she shut her eyes as she didn't want to meet her doom. Not so soon, moment of truth she reached the ground but she wondered to herself "Why is the ground so soft?" And she began to get thoughts that she was in heaven but alas! Our poor ferry girl snapped out of her train of thoughts cause of someone's…..no not someone's but Hiei's evil voice "Stupid girl what in the world is your problem?" he continued "Can't u ever leave me alone" before he could finish he was interrupted by Botan " Thank you Hiei I owe u one! Infact "she continued excitedly "I owe you so much more; my life. You have saved me innumerous times from a lot of things, and I can't find the right words to thank you enough" she finished and she hugged him and gave him a slight peck on the cheek. She got down from his strong embrace leaving Hiei speechless. He began to wonder to himself "Why did the girl do that?" but he was again interrupted by Botan as she called out to him "Hiei you coming?"

"Coming where girl?" he said "Why would I want to go anywhere with you" to which Botan slyly replied with a pout "I thought u said you liked sweet snow. The one thing Hiei couldn't resist; he'd do anything for sweet snow. "I guess it wasn't you after all, maybe it was Kurama who said that" she continued "Ah! Well I better go look for him cause I'm certainly gonna get some for him" she began to walk away…Hiei couldn't do anything but follow her…..she turned her head behind and smiled whole heartedly at Hiei which made Hiei turn a light shade of red.

So the same continued for the next few days. Not only the sweet snow part, the part about Botan causing trouble to Hiei also continued. But somewhere in his heart spending all this time with Botan made him warm up to her. Not that he'd ever openly admit it, but the fire-demon had developed feelings for everyone's favorite ferry girl.

-*End of flashback*-

Much to him surprise he didn't see her all day…he began to talk to himself "Why didn't she come today?" he questioned himself more "Maybe she had something to do? Maybe she didn't wanna see him anymore?" his interrogation was interrupted; by the lightning. The sky threatened to pour down any minute. "Why am I thinking about her?! Stupid girl!" he said. Before he could finish with his talk-to-self session, the sky started pouring down on him…"Shoot! It's raining!" he said out loud. Hiei didn't like the rain very much. He was kinda like a cat, you could say.

He had no option left he got up and began to walk towards Botan's house….he climbed one step at a time before reaching her door. He stood there a few seconds and sighed to himself, before he finally decided to ring the doorbell…..he heard Botan's voice from inside "Coming! Coming! You're here early."

Hiei began to wonder… "She had known I was coming. But how?" he said to himself just as the door flung open he saw Botan. She was wearing a bright yellow off shoulder top and a pair of blue shorts. She looked irresistible, her hair tied up into a ponytail the usual style she looked nice. No! Scratch that she looked like a total babe. She appeared to be the ideal woman. The type every man would want. For some reason the thought of another man, let alone every man on the planet wanting her made Hiei angry. Botan's appearance made Hiei's heart race. Suddenly there was this throbbing ache in his chest. Hiei had craved for lust before. But this feeling was different. It was very strange. He felt the unavoidable urge to think of Botan in explicit ways. But it was not in a mere male-attracted-to-females-body way. He wanted Botan to be his. He wanted to make her his mate.

"Hey Hiei?" Botan said wondering what he was doing here she couldn't help but notice he was all drenched and dare she say it but he looked sexy. His cloak stuck closer to his body giving a perfect outline to his oh-so-sexy-figure she couldn't stop herself from fantasizing about him. The nasty things she wanted to do to him; firstly get that cloak of off him and feel his body up throughout and kiss his lips those small and subtle and tender lips. She couldn't stop herself. She had always liked Hiei, despite his stone-cold demeanor; Botan knew that Hiei had a softer side to him. And now here he was in front of her door all soaked by the rain. Boy did she want to grab him by his collar and lead him straight to her bedroom. Sadly, both of their fantasizing came to an end when they were interrupted by a *ting* sound from the kitchen. It was the oven ruining their oh-so-sensual moment. They both snapped out of it and she said "Hey Hiei u never answered my question!" To which he replied "What question girl?" she remembered she never asked him a question she just happened to say *hey Hiei* questioningly.

"Why don't you come inside? You're drenched!" she said stepping aside for him to enter

Hiei glanced around the house he could smell something nice in the kitchen right after that *ting* sound….Botan asked "Hiei why don't u go change while I get u something to eat?" he gave her a stare before saying "And what is it that I'm supposed to wear girl?" to which Botan replied "Well u can wear" she was interrupted by Hiei " I'm not wearing your clothes girl!" he exclaimed in utter disgust.

"Chill silly! I was gonna give you Kurama's clothes." Botan said absentmindedly.

Hiei looked at her and said "And how would u have Fox's clothes with you?" he gave her a glare

"He slept over one day! That's how" Botan replied without seeing Hiei's expression change just as she finished.

"So she and the Fox are going out and sleeping together" he thought to him "These stupid feeling where all a lie from the start" he said to himself…and he looked at Botan and said "So you and the fox have been sleeping together?" with a hint of disgust in his voice. Botan was shocked at was he just said.

"No…..o…no…no not in the sense you're saying" she clarified "the gang had come over for a sleepover to my house!" she said

"Hn" he said "and why do u have the fox's clothes then" he demanded to know. He was acting all bossy as though Botan had cheated on him with the fox. Even though Botan wasn't his girlfriend; she didn't even qualify as friend in his eyes.

"Hey! I accidently spilled Pepsi on his clothes" she said scratching the back of her head "So he changed into Yusuke's clothes the next morning and I promised to wash his clothes even though he said it wasn't necessary" she finished.

Hiei deep down was happy that she didn't sleep with the fox, "But why am I happy I don't care if she sleeps with anyone" he said to himself "maybe I don't want her to sleep with the fox cause he is a big flirt he might hurt her feeling that's why" he said re-assuring himself and his intentions.

"Earth to Hiei" Botan said as she saw that Hiei spaced out "Wow Hiei I rubbed off on you!" She said with so much delight "Why don't you go and get changed I'll go get you some dry clothes to wear!" she exclaimed.

Hiei walked into her room he was amazed at the sight of it, it was so fresh he could feel her presence everywhere he could feel her energy all in one room…..After staring at her room for a while, he began undressing himself. He took off his cloak; tossed it on the floor. He took off his blue t-shirt that he usually wears underneath the cloak and tosses it on the ground as well. Just as he began to unbutton his pant Botan walked in with his clothes!

A/N: - How was it? I revised the story and changed the title (It was previously called "WILL YO BE MINE FORVER"). But someone once told me if I wanted to attract readers I'd need a better title. I know the title isn't very original. I still hope you read it.

I hope you like this story. No FLAMES. Constructive criticism is welcome however. Peace 3
