Hiei glared at the offending monstrosity. Its beady eyes, its very existence, offending him. His hand twitched towards his sword, wanting to cut the thing in half, but he resisted. Barely.

The black and white tegu lizard looked up at him, not impressed with him either. Its tongue flickered in and out and Hiei grimaced in disgust, not wanting it to touch him.

"Hiei! There you are!" the stupid ferry woman appeared, and Hiei turned his attention to her—not that he wanted to, but because this was her fault.

"What is it, blasted woman?" he hissed. Botan glared at him, huffing.

"Not you, Hiei! I was talking to Hiei!" she gestured to the tegu lizard who flicked its tongue at her happily. She cooed at the lizard as she lifted him into her arms and snuggled him. Hiei wanted to barf.

"Oh sweetie! Mommy's here Hiei! Did that mean demon make nasty faces at you?" she rubbed her cheek against the disgusting lizard's face. She set her eyes on him then. "Don't glare Hiei! You're scaring the baby!"

"I'm Hiei!" he snapped at her. She stuck her tongue out at him. Woman better watch it or he'll take her tongue—wait no.

"And he's also Hiei! Honestly Hiei, you should be honored he's named after you."

"I'm not. Change the name." he commanded.

"No way." Botan denied him. She bounced the monstrosity up and down. "You're like a dragon and he has your colors so it's the perfect name for him."

"Honestly Hiei, it's a form of flattery." Kurama chimed in, making Hiei glare at him. Kurama just chuckled. Great now the fox is laughing at him.

"I don't get it Botan—why name this cute thing after a pint like Hiei?" Kuwabara asked, poking it. The tegu responded by biting his finger making the orange haired boy yelp. Hiei smirked. Good to know the lizard had some taste.

"Cause he's a sourpuss but just a big softie on the inside like Hiei!" Botan claimed, kissing the lizard. Hiei's eye twitched. Kissing a lizard named after him was like kissing him indirectly. He could do without that thank you.

Her indirectly kissing him that is.

Red rose to his cheeks as he tried in vain not to picture her actually kissing him.

Stupid woman and her stupid lizard…

Karin: I had the image of Hiei the Tegu Lizard in my head for a while now and needed to write this.
