Last Time,
Botan saw them coming, she turned her hand to them and roots shot out of the ground. Hiei let himself get caught while Kurama turned into Youko and manuvered around the roots and slammed into Botan.
They fell to the ground and Youko grabbed her hands, making them into fists and wrapped them with vines.
Once her hands were unable to move, Youko went to knock her out, but stopped short.
" And your out. " He said.
" And you win. " She replied.
Chapter 19
" What did I miss? " Yusuke asked, staring at the two, who were still on the ground.
" I see it now. " Hiei said, walking over to Yusuke.
" See what shrimp? " Kuwabara asked.
" Her hands. You stop her hands from moving, you stop the attacks. " Hiei answered.
" That is their weakness? Their hands? " Yusuke exclaimed.
" Yes. My power goes through my hands. You stop them, I can't attack you. " Botan answered as Youko got off of her and helped her up.
His tail brushed up against her tail and she shivered. Her stare told him not to do that, but his stare had a glint in it.
" Do you guys want a room? " Yusuke teased with a smirk.
" No! " Botan shouted and stormed off, her tail bristled and twitched as she disappeared.
" We shouldn't leave her alone. Especially since her crazy family knows that she's alive. " Yusuke said a moment later.
" And that she's going into heat. " Hiei said, but he flinched back at hearing the deep growl from Youko as he changed back to Kurama.
" She's on her way back to the temple. " Kurama said as he fazed out of their sight.
" What's going on with them? " Kuwabara asked.
" It's Botan going into heat and Kurama is responding to it because he can smell the phreomones that she's giving off. " Hiei answered.
" Why ain't we reacting to it? " Yusuke asked, being that he's now a half-demon.
" Because we both have mates. And have no urge to go after an unmated female, which is what Botan is. " Hiei answered again and he too disappeared from sight.
But what they didn't know, was that Botan had stayed and had heard what Hiei had said.
' I thought as much. This is why I stay away from males when my mating season comes. ' Botan thought as tears started to come to her eyes.
' Damn hormones. ' She continued as she stood up from the tree branche that she was resting on and took off, away from the temple, the gang, and Kurama.
Chapter 20
" What do you mean she's not here? " Kurama asked Genkai after he returned from looking for Botan and had asked where Botan was.
" Just as I said. She's not here. " Genkai answered.
" But I saw her go towards here when we were done training. " Kurama replied.
" Maybe she went for another walk or went to town? " Kuwabara suggested.
" How would she go into town when she's still in demon form? " Hiei asked.
" Oh right. I forgot. " Kuwabara replied.
" She might've fallen asleep when she left.
" Well, I'm going to go look for her. " Kurama said and went to the door and left.
' Where could she be? ' Kurama thought to himself as he searched for Botan.
He had been searching for hours and it was getting dark.
" Botan! " He shouted.
Hearing nothing, he tried again, " Botan! " He yelled. Still not hearing a response, he continued on, looking for any sign of where Botan could have gone.
' Why did I have go through this damn mating season now? Why couldn't it have much later on? ' Botan thought as she angerily jumped from tree to tree, only she wasn't in her demon form, she was in her animal form. She looked like a snow leopard, except she was black with white spots, had saberteeth, dark green eyes, claws sticking out of her of paws, and was the size of a prehistoric wolf, but she moved like a rabbit from tree to tree.
' Good thing there's big trees here, otherwise I'd keep falling or breaking branches. ' She continued as she finally jumped to the ground and walked to a stream.
She looked down and saw her reflection. She then saw another image, it was like her image, but it was all black, save for the bright blue eyes. Her own eyes widen and moved out of the way just as the other snow leopard jumped down towards her.
" You seemed to have gotten faster. " The black snow leopard said.
" No. You just got slower, brother. " Botan replied back, her teeth bared and eyes slitted.
