Author: I am so glad I decided to write this entire story before I started posting. I had some writer's block while writing, so this chapter took some time, and then I was at my families for Christmas so I am sorry that this has taken so long to get out, but here it is and I hope you are all enjoying this story.
Hilu: Of course they are.
Hiei: Yeah, and if they are not I will-
Author: HIEI! Don't even think about finishing that sentence! Well enjoy the chapter guys.

Chapter 11
---Botan's Apartment---
Botan flew straight into her bedroom so she wouldn't have to carry her bags up to the room from the front door. They landed gracefully on the bed, and Botan quickly unpacked her things, showing Hiei where he could put his stuff. Then she led him around showing him where everything was. Hiei was getting ready to jump out the window when Botan told him not to.
"What do you mean Onna?" Hiei asked.
"Well, I am not going to be in bed just yet, so you will have to wait a few minutes. I'm sorry, but I have to do something with this hair, it is driving me nuts," Botan said honestly.
"Hn."
Hiei watched as Botan ran a brush through her blue hair, and then almost fell off the bed when she pulled the wig off. Her hair was a rich black that fell gently to her shoulders. She quickly brushed it out, but decided it needed to be washed since she hadn't had a chance to do that since going to stay at Genkai's.
"Hiei, would you mind following me to the bathroom. I really need to take a shower and wash my hair not to mention take these stupid contacts out," Botan said softly not looking at the fire demon.
"Hn," he replied but followed her anyway.
Botan quickly took a shower washing her black locks, and then removed her contacts as soon as she got out of the shower. She finally decided that she couldn't avoid seeing Hiei's reaction forever, so she got dressed in black shorts and a black spaghetti strap shirt with Guns n' Roses on it, and then sat on the bed. She then turned to Hiei.
"Why didn't you tell me this before?" Hiei asked her when he caught her eye.
"I thought you would hate me for trying to deceive you," Botan said softly.
"Botan, I… you should go to bed now. You are tired and I don't want to deal with you being cranky in the morning," Hiei said jumping out the window.
"I know you want to tell her Hiei, so why don't you? You have no reason to be scared of her reaction she loves you, you heard her the other night. She wants her brother to be like you! She wants you to be her brother. She needs you, and you keep letting your childish fears stop you from being who she needs you to be!" Botan said angry that he had left so abruptly.
"What do you know about it Onna?" Hiei retorted.
"So you are back to calling me Onna are you? You just keep running away from your emotions! Why?" Botan finished in a whisper.
"Because they are a weakness," Hiei said reappearing beside her on the bed. "And if I run from my emotions so do you. Why do your dreams scare you Onna? Why is it that when in your dreams we forget you it terrifies you so much?"
"It isn't so much that part as it is that I know what will happen next," Botan whispered running her fingers through her hair.
"What happens, Botan? Tell me, and maybe I can help," Hiei offered.
"He comes back to tell me that He has control of my life and there is nothing I can do about it," Botan whispered.
"Who is He?" Hiei asked worried.
"He is the man who raped me," Botan said quietly.
---In Reikai---
"How long do you think it will take for the truth to come out Koenma?" Shizuru said.
"I don't know Koibito. Hopefully not too long, Botan needs someone to help her through this, and Hiei is the only one she will trust," Koenma replied wrapping his arms more tightly around the girl.
"Koenma, are you sure this was such a good idea? I mean do you think He will come back for our Botan?" Shizuru asked worried.
"I hope not Koibito. I hope not," Koenma said.
