Obliviously Lovely


Floating gently down to earth, Botan bubbly as ever, flipped back her blue ponytail which had been tussled in her descent from spirit world. Landing firmly, she chuckled deviously recalling of how she had lied to Lord Koenma so that she could escape to earth without the infant even knowing she gone.

'Oh how naughty I have been lately,' the ferry girl thought with a grim pout realizing how regularly she had been doing this.

Her ore dematerialized and bright smile replacing the pout. "Oh-well…" Botan sang, returning to her regular peppy self, "Now where is he?" She complained looking in different directions around the quite city street of the living world where she had landed.

Noticing the area around her held not a soul the ferry girl grew red with childlike anger, ranting loudly and stomped her foot into the ground for good measure. "Stupid, stupid, stupid boy! I tell him to be here, and is he here? No! I can't b-"

"M-miss Botan,"

Freezing suddenly in the middle of her tantrum, Botan recognized the nervous voice and turned roughly around. The long sleeves of her pink kimono hit the person's chest as they swished when the ferry girl turned.

"Well so nice of you to finally show up, Hojo," She hissed and folder her arms. "If this is going to work you need to be at our meetings on time."

The young man frowned and dropped into a bow, "I apologize Miss Botan." Standing up from the bow, he began to explain "The reason I took so long is because Kagome an-"

"No." Botan cut him off, her eyes sharp. "You know I don't like that girl, so don't even say her name." Hojo sighed, "Right, I forgot. But I mean she is really sweet. I don't know what she did to make you not like her." The boy made a dreamy face, "She so pretty and different, you have to like her. She's just-"

Botan once again cut him off, "-a man stealer," she snarled.

Hojo made a shocked face.

The blue haired girl only scowled at her companion, she had met Hojo a few months ago, he was about to take his own life and she had stopped him. As the grim reaper, Botan had just been trying to save herself from work, because if this guy did die guess who would have to take care of him.

So after stopping Hojo from jumping from a bridge the ferry girl explained what she was, and told him to tell her what was bothering him.

At the time she had been going through her own troubles and listened only a small portion to Hojo, getting the main idea of his ramblings. Her mind on an aggravation that went by the name of Kagome Higurashi, that girl angered her so; she was Koenma's new recruit.

Not only did she take her place as Yusuke's assistant, she also had caught the eye of her love interest.

Botan felt her heart jump as she thought of Hiei, her cheeks grew warm and as did other parts of her female body.

She had developed a crush on the fire demon. At first Botan could not believe it herself, seeing because she thought she liked Kurama. However that soon faded and her favor traveled to the shorter demon that did frighten her but also attracted her.

A few months later after Kagome became affiliated with spirit world; Yusuke told her that Hiei had a thing for her. That info alone angered her to the very core; she would never let Kagome have him.

While tuning in and out from what suicidal boy was saying, she caught the name Kagome and how she was the reason he wanted to died, apparently Hojo could not handle her rejection. Putting two and two that they knew the same girl Botan proceeded to form alliance with the human boy that would get them both what they wanted.

Hojo looked at Botan waiting for her to explain her sudden outburst, but after a while of her just standing in deep thought he spoke instead. "Did Kagome really do that?" Botan never explained her dislike of Kagome so he was very curious to know why. The blue haired girl looked flustered and fidgeted with her clothing before yelling at him. "That doesn't matter! I'll tell you later right now we need another plan. So tomorrow night you and her will…"

Above the two who stood plotting in the late night, Kurama lurked skillfully on a ledge of a building hidden easily from both, a large smirk on his face.

"Now this," the red head began, "is getting good."


Gave a little more background in this chapter, no promises for updates, kind of having some inspiration problems.
