Chapter 2

Everyone had eaten a ton of pizza and now they were all sitting in a lose circle in the foyer of the house. Thanks to Kurama, even Hiei was going to play. He promised it would be entertaining and so Hiei said he would try it. The circle sat with Yusuke, then Keiko, then Ukina, then Kuwabara, then Bunny, then Boton, then Kurama and Hiei. Yusuke started by spinning the bottle. The top of the bottle stopped in front of Boton. "Boton, truth or dare? I dare ya to pick dare!" "Oh fine Yusuke! Dare!" Yusuke thought for a moment and then said, "well alright I dare you to switch seats with Hiei." "Well that one is easy," said Boton as she switched spots with Hiei. Hiei got up and moved to sit next to Bunny. His hand brushed hers when he sat down and her cheeks burned red. Boton spun the bottle and it landed on Bunny. "Bunny, truth or dare?" Bunny gulped and said, "Truth, only because I don't trust you." Boton smiled and said, "Ok then how about telling us how many lovers you've had in the past." "Oh that's a good one Boton!" said Kuwabara. "uh well a lot I guess. I mean it depends on what you mean by lovers. People I love or people I've slept with? Or humans I have slept with or demons?" asked Bunny. Boton answered, "well how many beings have you slept with?" "But Boton you already know that answer. Everyone knows that I cannot resist a hot body." Then Hiei snapped and said, "Just answer the dumb question so we can get on with this stupid game!" Then Kuwabara said, "Down lover boy, it's just a game." "Do you have a death wish, Kuwabara? Who are you calling lover boy?" "You, shrimpy." "45!", shouted Bunny. "I have been with 45 demons and humans combined, from what I can remember. Considering my past history of drug abuse and partying I would like to say, that is a small number compared to some." Everyone was quiet for a moment and Bunny spun the bottle. It landed on Kurama and she dared him to punch Kuwabara in the face. He did and everyone giggled at Kuwabara's silly expression. Kurama's bottle landed on Hiei. "Hiei, I dare you to lick Bunny's ear." Everyone busted out laughing because Kurama never said silly things like that. Hiei and Bunny had the oddest expressions on their faces. "That's all you could dare me to do, Kurama? Fine then." "Wait what? Ew, Hiei! Do not lick my ear!" But it was too late. Hiei's tongue was circling around the crevasses of Bunny's left ear only to her surprise it more seductive than disgusting. He stopped and herd giggles from the women in the room. Bunny was beating red as she spun the bottle. It landed on Ukina. Bunny knew she couldn't make Ukina do anything bad because it would be mean. Ukina was too nice to be picked on. "Um, Ukina, Truth or Dare?" "Dare please!" Everyone was shocked at that! She always picked truth! "Oh! Well ok then, let me think. I dare you to kiss Kuwabara on the cheek." Kuwabara and Ukina went beat red and the rest of the room besides Hiei, cracked up! "Um ok Bunny." Ukina brushed her lips against Kuwabara's cheek. Everyone "aw"-ed and giggled at their moment. Just then Bunny felt Hiei's energy spike for a second. His body twitched and she noticed it. Kuwabara and Ukina were the only two in the room that were oblivious to the fact that Hiei was Ukina's twin brother. That only made it funnier for everyone else because Hiei despised Kuwabara and Kuwabara was in love with Ukina.

The game continued for a while longer until Boton dared Hiei to kiss Bunny. That's when things got hairy. "Why would I want to do that, Boton?" Hiei glared at Boton when he asked this and little sparks of energy flew out of his bandaged arm. Boton gulped and said, "Well why wouldn't you? I mean look at her, Hiei. She is perfect in every way imaginable- there is not one flaw to her name!" "Boton he already knows that I'm perfect." Yusuke yelled, "Aw c'mon Hiei! Give Bunns a good ole' peck on the lips." Kurama added, "And besides, Hiei, Boton did dare you." "Guy's listen, you're all taking this too far! If Hiei doesn't want to kiss Bunny in front of us maybe we should just leave him alone." "Yeah guys, Keiko is right. Hiei has had many chances to kiss me in the past. I already came to peace with the fact that if he won't kiss me when were battling for our lives and the world is about to end then he is not ever going to. So let's just stop messing with him about it." After Bunny made her speech, Hiei got up and walked out of the room. Shortly after Hiei left the night's festivities ended. Ukina went home, Kurama and Kuwabara went to bed, Keiko slipped away with Yusuke, and Boton spent the night with Bunny.

Bunny and Boton had been best friends since the beginning. They were like sisters, they were so close. Plus they both had a passion for fashion, shopping, and hot men. The night was still young as it was only 11pm and Boton and Bunny decided to go for a late night swim. They went to the indoor pool. The pool was in a room made out of glass windows and had big double doors that lead to the patio and out-door pool. Boton asked Bunny, "So what was all that tonight? Has Hiei really never kissed you?" "Not once." "Aw, Bunny, that must really hurt. I know you really like him." "I don't just like him, Boton, I love him. I have always loved him and he knows it. Or at least I think he does. He has to know how I feel. We've had so many moments together. Like, moments where he brushes up against me and my heart stops or when we sit side by side or all those times I grabbed onto his hand when I got scared on a mission. One time during the Dark Tournament he pushed me against the wall to tell me not to get killed and I was sure he was about to kiss me." "Aw, Bunny, it is Hiei we are talking about. You know he is just stubborn and heck after growing up without love, maybe he just doesn't know how it works. Maybe he does not know how to love you back or accept you in that way." "Yeah you have a point. But how do I show him? He puts on this tough guy act and never lets his guard down for a second, even when we are at home. Sometimes I just wish my feelings for him would go away but the thought of never seeing him again only makes the pain worse." "Well maybe you need to make the first move." "Boton, I already have! Time and time again. Like today we were sitting by the lake and I was holding his hand and leaning against him with my eyes closed and gave him the perfect opportunity to make a move and he still did nothing!" "Huh, that is odd. Any other guy would have jumped on that chance." "I know!" "Well I hate to this but, maybe he doesn't find you attractive." Bunny splashed Boton with water and shouted, "What do you mean he doesn't think I'm attractive! I'm hot as hell, Boton! I fight, I'm a demon, I have a great body, I am totally feminine, and I actually have feelings for that jackass so why in the world would he not find me attractive!" "Geez! Calm down Bunny or he'll hear you!" "I hope he dose hear me! That bastard had better not like someone else! I'll kill him!" "Bunny, it was just a thought. My goodness get over yourself!"

Bunny and Boton got into a water fight not knowing that they were indeed being watched. Hiei was outside in the trees with his Jagan Eye open. He hated that he was so easy to read. Of course he knew that Bunny loved him. He just did not know how to love her back. She intimidated him in so many ways. She was so perfect with her long slender legs and her silky hair and her big green eyes. Her touch made him spark with feelings of passion and at the same time, hate. He hated her for making him so weak and then he hated himself for hurting her by not showing her how he felt. He wanted to just take her away somewhere where it was just the two of them and no one was there to distract their love. That would never work though because they were a part of a team and this team, no matter how much he wanted to deny it, was the only family he ever really had. They were the only people that did not reject him. With Bunny things just got all confusing. Plus, she was so experienced with love and he had no idea where to start. He had never made love or kissed anyone. His whole life was about revenge and power; he never had time for any of that other stuff. Thinking about all of this just made him even more upset. He closed his Jagan and went on with his night.
