Hiyo! Another story about the fan-made couple of Hiei and Botan! Muhaha, byee!
Summary: What happens if Botan is switched from a assistant to Yusuke, to a assistant for Hiei? No only that, but she was given the power to read his mind? What kinds of things will she find there?
Okay, Read and Review!
Start.
Sign, stamp, file. Sign, stamp, file. Our favorite blue haired ditz was not so ditzy as she filed paperwork for the little toddler she called Lord Koenma. Sign, stamp, file. Sign, stamp, file. Botan gave a sigh of relief once she had filed the last sheet. "Yes!" She said loudly. It wasn't like anyone could hear her though, she was working over-time like usual. Botan was relieved once she was able to get off her desk chair and moved her aching body. She stretched her legs and her back.
Botan rolled up her kimono sleeves and started to prepare to carry the stack to Koenma's office. Botan gluped. The stack was almost bigger then her! Each file carried information about demons and the person that ended their life. That person was Yusuke, the famous spirit detective. Botan didn't blame him though, he was only doing his job. Finally, Botan got every single file into Koenma's office. The little kid was sleeping on his desk, drool slowing dripping from the side of his chin.
"Koenma." Botan said, itching for a soft bed. The toddler didn't respond. "Koenma!" Botan smacked a folder over his head. Koenma yelped and stood up. He quickly wiped up the drool from his face.
"Botan!" He said. "Are you finish? Good."
"Great, I'll be taking my leave now, Koenma sir." Botan conjured her oar with a wave of her hand and was preparing to saddle and head off, but Koenma stopped her.
"Wait!" Botan hovered around him questionably. "You've been working over-time alot now and I think you should be-"
"I'll do it!" Botan yelled irratiblely, startling the not-so-young boy. The sudden desire to breath fresh air was killing her.
"Are you sure?" Koenma cautiously asked. "I'm warning you, you might be getting yourself into-"
"Yes, I'm sure, Koenma sir. Now may I take my leave?" She asked impaciently, hovering about. Once Koenma dismissed her with a nod, she was out the doors. Sleep was almost at her fingertips.
Koenma stared at the door for a moment, what's wrong with Botan? Whatever, Koenma reached out his hand and Botan's ferry girl file was placed into his grip suddenly. He opened it and tons of glitter flew out. "Darn blasted thing." He shouldn't have let Botan decorate it. Koenma shook all the glitter out. His eyes searched every little detail until it came to what he was looking for.
Reikai Tantei assistant: Yusuke Urameshi
Koenma pulled out his pencil and scratched Yusuke's name out. Very carefully, he wrote someone else name in it. "There. That should do it." Koenma said, smiling. He yawned and hopped off his desk and walked off to bed, leaving the file on there.
Reikai Tantei assistant: Hiei Jaganshi
The Next day.
Botan stared at her file. She blinked and rubbed her eyes before exclaiming the paper one more time.
Reikai tantei assistant: Hiei Jaganshi!
Botan hurried over to Koenma's office. What did she do? Hiei isn't the best of people for her liking...whenever she tried to talk to him, he would stare as if telling her to be gone or be dead. "KOENMA!" She yelled, upturning her papers. Many turned and stared, but Botan ignored them as she marched towards Koenma's office.
Koenma looked up from his desk, piled with paperwork. Botan flew open the doors and ran over to him, carrying her pink file. "What...what is this!" She yelled, shaking the file. Bits of glitter fluttered about.
"But-" Koenma started, but Botan interrupted him.
"No! I didn't agree to this!" She said, frowning.
Koenma shook his head, dusting the glitter right off his desk. "You did, Botan. You just didn't let me explain. You kept inturrupting me." He pointed out.
Botan groaned. "But why Hiei?" She whined. "He's...really scary." She sighed.
"Well, I thought I might raise you up." Koenma said. "Besides, Hiei is less paper work for you." Botan covered her face. "Listen, being Hiei's assistant gives you an ability."
Botan perked up and removed her hands from her face. "What kind of a ability?" She asked curiously. He had attracted her attention.
Koenma raised a hand. "The ability to read his mind." Botan stared at him for a while.
"Bingo!" She yelled happily, jumping in the air. Koenma looked at the excited and joyful girl. "Thank you so much, Koenma!" Botan jumped in the air again, but this time she landed on her oar. "Bye!"
Just to think, she had the ability to read every thought Hiei would think of!
Hiei's current location.
"Hello Hiei!" The fire demon was rudely awaken as Botan sat next to his tree branch. Hiei slowly blinked and raised his eyes to look at Botan.
"What." He demanded, his voice harsh like always. Botan heard something in her head, Hiei's voice was talking.
Baka onna...what does she want? Botan frowned.
"I'm not a baka!" Hiei looked at her, one eyebrow raised. He must not know! Botan thought. This was better then she thought. "Um...nevermind. Anyways, I just came here to tell you about my new assistant job." She said playfully.
"What about the detective?" Hiei asked. Botan shrugged, scratching the back of her head.
"Koenma, he just moved me up." Botan hovered around Hiei. "Anyways, guess who my new boss will be! He's a fire demon with a Jagan eye...and it sitting on a tree branch!"
Hiei turned his back on her, preparing to find another tree to sleep in. "Go away." He replied.
And never talk to me again.
Botan crossed her arms. "Fine!" She huffed. However, she was much to gleeful to just leave him be. Botan turned around and smiled sweetly at Hiei. "I don't wanna go." She said, putting on a stubborn face. Hiei glared at her, making her regret what she said. Botan's eyes met with Hiei's and they locked together. They both stared deeply, Hiei's mind flooded with thoughts. Why won't she stop staring! Botan blushed and looked away. "So...like I said, I won't go!" Botan repeated. Hiei stood up on the sturdy branch.
"Then I will." Hiei jumped off the branch and landed on his feet. He took one more look at Botan and left. Botan sighed and moved from her oar to the tree branch. She settled into it. Hey, this isn't so bad Botan thought. No wonder Hiei always enjoyed living in trees. She closed her eyes and drifted to deep slumber.
Reikai. Koenma's office.
"Koenma, what did you do?" Hiei asked, his eyes narrowed and jagged. Koenma was in his hands, sweating.
"What do you mean?" Koenma asked. He gave a yell of suprise when Hiei growled.
"You know what I mean! Botan being my assistant!" Hiei let go of Koenma and sat in his comfy chair. Koenma straightened up and fixed his hat.
"Well, I thought you could use one. Besides, there is an ability you get." Hiei looked at Koenma. "You have the ability to read Botan's mind."
Hiei snorted. "That will do me no good. The woman only thinks about the many ways to annoy the alone." He pointed out. He paused for a moment. "Koenma, tell me one thing," He said. "Can Onna read mine?"
Koenma thought for a moment. Did he really want to tell Hiei? "No." He finally replied.
Hiei sat up, thinking for another moment. "Good-bye." he finally said, departing by super speed. This was interesting. Very interesting.
Botan's current position.
"Wake up!" The harsh words sounded in Botan's head as she opened her eyes slightly. The suns rays entrapped her eyes and she shut them again. "Onna, get up." Hiei demanded again, watching her from the branch right next to it.
"What?" Botan asked, rubbing her eyes until they adjusted to the light. She sat up and yawned, checking her surroundings.
"You're my assistant right?" Hiei questioned before she could say anything more and Botan nodded. (Duh, I told you that.) Hiei glared at her.
Stupid girl. Botan glared back at him.
(Why is he glaring at me? I didn't do anything.)
"Yes, I am." Botan rephrased, raising an eyebrow. "Why?"
Hiei dug his hands into his pockets. "I want you to keep an eye out for Yukina."
Botan produced her oar. "Magic word?" Botan asked sweetly.
"GO." Hiei snapped. ...please. Botan smiled and left at the sound of that thought.
(You're welcome! Hehe!) Hiei blinked in confusion as Botan left.
Botan was exhausted. She spent the whole day tailing Yukina. She hid in bushes, behind doorways, looking between cracks in the wall, and running everytime Yukina turned back. Botan went home to her bedroom. She unlocked the door and jumped into bed. She was just adapting to the darkness, when she heard Hiei's voice.
...Hn. Botan jumped up.
"Hiei?" She asked. She turned on the lights and Hiei stood by her doorway.
"How did it go?" He asked, flopping on the the bed. Botan scooted over.
(I feel sooo sorry for you, sucka. My feet hurt! I hate you forever!) Hiei felt a slight pain in her words, he ignored it. "It went good." Botan lied. "I hid from Yukina though."
Baka, I didn't tell you to hide from her.
"Well sorry!" Botan said outloud. Hiei looked at her. "I mean, I feel sorry for Yukina. I think she thought someone is stalking her."
"Hn." Hiei stood up and walked out of the room. ...Food. Botan scrambled up and followed him. She didn't want him eating everything.
"I can make you something you know." Botan said, pulling out an apron. Hiei sat around the table as Botan started to prepare her items. (Um...now how do I cook this again?) Hiei sighed. He followed Botan's every movement. Her hair swung around as she ran from place to place, her kimono flying around, hips moving... Hiei shook his head. When Botan turned around, He could see her cheeks flushed. "I can't work with people watching me."
Hiei stood up, leaving the room. As long as he got his food, he had no reason to stay in the kitchen.
( I can't believe I'm blushing...at him!) Hiei perked up from the living room, lying back on her couch.
Who is she thinking about? He thought.
Botan paused from chopping. (Nani? Who is he talking about?)
Is she...
(What the! He's reading my mind!) Botan turned around as Hiei ran into the room. He had a shocked face.
Botan?
"NO!" Botan gasped. Hiei glared at the sky.
"Koenma!" Botan started to glare at the ceiling as well. She produced her oar, hopped on, and grabbed Hiei.
"Let's go!" Hiei held on the Botan's hand as they were lifted into the sky and shot off. It felt like it was going to rip off, but Hiei held on. It seemed like there hands were made for each other. They fit together perfectly, fingers entwined. Hiei must have been thinking this, because Botan almost let go of him.
Finally, Botan got off and together the went to Koenma's office. Hiei busted open the door. "Where is he?" Botan asked.
The room was empty, except for the light coming in from the bathroom. Hiei and Botan waited quietly, for the door was opening. Teenager Koenma came out, only wearing a towel "down there". Botan blushed and looked away.
"Koenma." Hiei snapped. Koenma looked up, suprised.
"Goodness gra-" Koenma ran into the bathroom again.
"You told me she couldn't read my mind." He said loudly.
"I...uh...well...um...wow! Would you look at that. I thought she couldn't." Koenma said, peeking from the door.
It was Botan's turn to glare at him. "But you were the one that told me I could read his mind!"
Koenma scratched his head from embarassment. "Well, it wasn't like you were sad about it!" Koenma protested as Hiei turned to pierce holes into Botan's head.
"Hey, we're mad at him, remember?" Botan rolled up her sleeves and grabbed her oar. Koenma gulped. "Koenma, you bakaryou!"
Hiei sat back and watched as Botan chased the very revealing Koenma around the office, snug in Koenma's chair. Once Koenma slipped and accidently let go of his towel, Hiei and Botan left the embarassed Koenma. Botan and Hiei got back on the oar. "Have you gotten your revenge?" Botan asked. Before Hiei could answer, Botan was talking again. "Well, I did." Botan said. "But now I won't have any privacy!"
Hiei snorted. "You talk about everything anyways."
"I'm not talkative one!" Botan argued.
"Not even the oaf talks as much as you." Botan felt anger arise in her. She pushed Hiei off the oar. That must have caught Hiei off guard, for he fell...a very long way.
(Oh no!)
BAKA! Botan urged her oar to take a dive. She couldn't find Hiei anywhere.
(Hiei! You haven't died, right?)
...I despise you. Botan rushed down to the woods below.
(Where are you?) Botan didn't get an answer. (Hiei?)
"AYEEEE!" Botan screamed as she felt someone jerk her shoulder.
"GAH!" Hiei fell to the floor as Botan slapped him.
"HIEI NO BAKA!" Botan screamed. Neither less, Botan rushed down to help him. Botan touched his cheek. "Are you okay?"
Hiei opened his eyes, they went straight to Botan's hands. He peeled them off of him and glared at Botan.
(Sorry!) Botan thought. She hugged Hiei without even thinking. Just as quickly though, she came back to her senses and let him go.
"Let's go." Hiei muttered. Botan nodded.
End.
