"Botan, you are joking right? Because I don't see him the kind of person to have a journal."

"No. Kurama I found it really," said Botan as she clutched the worn, black book to her chest, "This is it!" Her pink eyes twinkled excitedly as ran her fingers on it's leather bound cover. The shigami's baby blue hair was put up in it's normal ponytail and it caught the rays that came flowing in from the bay window.

Kurama stared at the female for a moment. His emeraled green eyes traced the book's outline. It looked relativly old. He then asked, "Where did you find it?"

Botan grinned. "You know that tree we always find him in. I found it there."

"Are you sure it is his?" questioned Kurama a smile fadding from his lips.

"It has his name in the inside cover."

"Read it."

Botan stared at Kurama. Why did he utter those words? She had already been tempted when she found this book. She had nearly read the words which Hiei hid from the world. Her eyes glanced around as she found herself wondering. What could be inside this? What could Hiei have written about her? She shuddered to think what could be written between those pages.

Her mind raced as she thought about it. Minutes ticked by, Kurama saying nothing more to her. He just sat down in the nearby chair, folded his hands, and stared up at her. He was waiting.

Botan gave a nuearvos gulp as she glanced around. What if Hiei was watching her? If anyone had found out he'd kill her. If he did not kill her he would find ways to make her life misarable.

"On one condition Kurama," stated Botan, "You must not tell the others what I have found."

A smile graced the fox demons lips as he directed his hand to the opposite chair. "I promise."

Botan sat down in the chair that Kurama had motioned towards. She glanced around once again before she finally opened the Hiei's book. There were some pages of the diary ripped out which made Botan blink surprised. She then sighed and began to read,

" Dear Diary,

Hn. It has been two weeks since I have lost my mother's gem. I know that I cannot find it alone, but there is no one to turn to. I need to find the gem. I MUST. I cannot seem to let go of that search. The night will not let me. I need to find it, otherwise this sence of loneliness will never leave. I have never felt something like this before. Humph. I do not understand and so I must find my mother's gem. Even if it is the last thing I do.

As I was writing I heard whispers of the surgeon named Shigure. I shall go see him. He must have something to find the thing I seek. And then, then I will find it. Oh, I must find it. Or else I shall be driven to the brink of insanity. . . Hiei"

Botan stared at Kurama. He looked at her and smiled.

"Please," he said softly, "Continue."

Botan glanced down at the page and flipped it to the next one. She then continued reading,

"Dear Diary,

The journey to the surgeon's home was easier then expected. It only took me two day run to reach his place. I figured that there would be more demons who would surround it. Instead there are only a few D-class. I could take them out with ease. Hn. I won't. I rather stick to the course ahead.

As night is falling, I am debating whether or not to pay a visit tonight or wait until tomorrow. I would not put it pass this 'Shigure' to all ready know that I am around. Hn. I should sleep. I doubt if I will, but I might as well try. Besides I will have my katana in my grasp.

I have decided. I shall wait until the morning light. I do not know what to suspect when I enter. I will prepare. In the morning I will go. . . Hiei"

I am sorry if it is short. I hoped you enjoyed it. Please R&R!
