Botan hummed a happy tune as she took the cookies out of the oven. She really liked baking and wished she could do it more often. She sat them on the counter and sighed, smelling vanilla waft through the room. Unfortunately, she wasn't the only one to smell it.

As she was cleaning the kitchen, her back turned, two young males stepped in. Yusuke held in a snicker as he and Kuwabara sneaked over to the tray, pulling off several defenseless cookies. Botan had no idea as the two teens stuffed them in their pockets and shirts, slithering away.

When Botan turned back she found an empty tray. "What? Where...WHERE ARE MY COOKIES?" She screeched. The laughter of those apes made her turn red. "OH! I'll get you two!" She ran out of the kitchen seeing them run out the door, sprinting for the forest around the temple. No, they were not gonna get away with this!

She ran out the door and tripped on her own feet, falling forward down the entrance steps, and on top of someone else.

Legs intertwining and chests pressed together, they both tumbled down the stairs, until Botan landed on top of the person, her face colliding with theirs.

And lips touched lips.

For a second, it remained that way. Soft lips on unsure lips, opened in surprise. The whole body underneath her was tense and hard, like a statue. Rippling muscles...

She resisted the urge to kiss deeper and rose up, only to find the absolute worse pair of eyes staring back at her.

Deep, dark, red.

She screamed and flailed herself off of him stuttering like a fool. "Oh, I'm so sorry, Hiei! I didn't mean to fall on you like that! My mistake - I should watch where I'm going!" She blabbed on, but he said nothing as he sat up and stared at her, wide eyed and seemingly lost.

She continued, hurriedly standing up and brushing off the dirt on her clothes. "I'll be sure to never accidentally fall on your lips again!" She ran off, still set on bashing Yusuke and Kuwabara's heads in, for now she had an even better reason.

Not only did they steal her cookies but now they caused her first kiss to be stolen!

Hiei blinked a few times as she sped away. He slowly stood up and watched as she disappeared screaming for the detective's blood.

All he wanted was the sweet smell in the kitchen, not his first kiss to be with her of all people!

"I should have stayed in the tree."
