Because of Fruitcake

Summery: A series of unfourtnate, or fourtanteon your view,events, cause by Botan smelling of fruitcake, leading up to a Hiei/Botan romance.


"Hey, Botan, you know you need to get off your butt and go to the Human World and work some." Koenma said. Big mistake. Botan was mad, and she innocently said,

"Koenma-sama…"

Shit. Koenma knew what was coming, and he tried desperately to say sorry before the evil Botan could do anything to him,

"You Jerk!" With that, Botan beat the shit out of Koenam with her oar, by the time she was done, Koenma was face first into dirt. Yes, she had broken the floor with Konema's face so many times that the tile wore off to the dirt.

"Teme..." Koenma mumbled with a mouthful of dirt. Well at least the dirt smells better than... Koenma's thoughts began to wonder off.

With that Botan, fuming, walked trough the portal to Hiei's park, and and walked through in the cooling breeze, that carried her scent to a familiar fire demon.

Meanwhile

Hiei was on his way to his favorite tree to take another nap, after eating Kurama out of all his sweet snow. That was, until he caught the scent of something most unusual. Something he couldn't quite name... fruit? He thought to himself gazing absentmindedly at the sky.

He needed to investigate this unfamiliar scent. It after all could pose a threat to him and he wasn't the type of person who would let a mystery go unsolved. Damn the curious nature that was a part of the demon.

Back With Botan

Silently humming a tune Botan made her way to Keiko's house for some girl time. Koenma can be such a baka at times... she thought. I wonder... should I bring him back some gifts? I think he's starting to get a little spoiled now though... Maybe some of that cake Kay and I cooked... she giggled.

She remembered when they had tried to make the cake for Keiko's school Christmas party. It was around Christmas time and what better cake to make than fruitcake? She knew that no one ever ate it and wondered where all the leftover fruitcake went after Christmas... she would have look into that later.

She and her best friend Keiko had attempted to make fruitcake, which she might say hadn't turned out as expected. It seems they had put in a little too much of something and the cake had began to expand in the oven... a little too much until they realized it and quickly ran to get it out of the over. Apparently something snapped and before they knew it the two were covered in fruitcake. And for some unknown reason, she just couldn't get the smell of fruitcake off of her! She didn't mind much, she rather enjoyed the changgle to get it off.

Surly Kurama, or even Yusuke had noticed it, but being the polite gentlemen he was hadn't mentioned anything. Well, at least Kurama didn't say anything, Yusuke on the other hand had gone rummaging through her old kimono the minute she emerged from the portal questioning what the foreign smell was. Even in human form, Yusuke had a good nose for food, but it was odd he never had fruitcake before.

Botan was suddenly snapped back into reality when she felt a strong yokai approaching her. She panicked. Who could it be? It can't be any body we know, and Koenma would have told me if there was some strange demon here. Then in all his glory, Hiei appeared before Botan, giving her a mild panick attack.

Great, she thought, now I can't even make a run for it! She was 'alittle' afraid of the fire demon, and his short temper.

Inwardly groaning and summoning all the courage she had she questioned half koorime named Hiei Jaganshi.

"What do you want?"

Hiei's gaze had seemed averted and was snapped back to the scene in front of him when he had heard her words. What is this desire I have...? He inwardly questioned himself. And what is this smell?

Botan tried fruitlessly to find out what Hiei was thinking. But it was just that face, the way his ruby eyes penetrated your very being. Damn emotionless mask.

She stood there immobilized, not knowing what to do. Whether to talk to him, or run because he might kill her for telling Keiko about Yukina being his sister.

Unaware of the uneasiness that he brought to her, Hiei was trying desperately to fight off this new instinct. It wasn't so much one of lust, but rather... curiosity? He had suddenly been overcome with the urge to lick her. To see if her scent truly reflected what she was, but it freaked him out to want to lick the baka onna.

"Baka onna," he spoke with the same bored tone. "What is this stench you carry upon you?" Stench? Botan thought to herself. He surely couldn't mean the fruitcake? Oh my boss's daddy,he'll probably try to eat me now! Great, death by being eaten, all because of some fruitcake.

"Onna, answer me before I grow impatient" Hiei demanded. He wanted to be rid of the curiousty, but sadly fate was against him.

"Ano..." Botan began wondering where to start. "Fruitcake?"

"What is this 'fruitcake' that you speak of?" asked the now even more curious Hiei. Fruitcake he wondered some new spell that Koenma has made to keep me as one of his detectives? Surly he doesn't think I'm that weak.

"..."

"..."

".."

"."

"Ano… it's a cake, made of friut?" Botan slowly repiled, but it fell on deaf ears, as Hiei was lost in thought, musing over this fruitcake.

Hiei silently approached Botan and she drew back from him, obviously afraid. Knowing he would not cease to wonder about her scent until he had satisfied his urges he used his demonic speed to close the gap between them and hold Botan's figure to his own.

It was now or never, but what if...,no turing back, now or never!He thought. Sighing he gave into temeptation, and well…

He licked her. Botan was shocked, so she just stood there, as Hiei licked her cheek. And wouldn't you know it, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Yusuke just so happened to come at that time.

"Holy shit! What the funky monkeys are they doing!" Yusuke yelled, very loudly, as Kurama bit his thumb to stop laughing. While Botan turned red, and looked mortified, and Hiei pushed Botan back and it you looked closely, you could see the tint of red on his face.


So, how was it I am truly sorry for giving up on my squeal to Psychotherpy, Let The Healing Begin, but I lost a lot of intrest in it, and nothing inspried me totype anything for it, so it's done but not complete. Please review. (.)>
