"WHAT?" Botan was shocked at his vulgar suggestion; she was a woman of integrity and was not to be treated lightly. She continued,

"AND, WHAT IN THE THREE WORLDS WOULD MAKES YOU THINK THAT I WOULD?"

Hiei's face was almost docile as she shouted the inevitable rage ebbing off of her visage.

"The fact that we're affianced,"

ENGAGED?... well, the steps were completed. Botan wasn't devastated by the fact, but she was shaken.

"Bbbbut not but not officially." She said, frantically trying to find an alternative- but secretly she desperately hoped there was none.

He abruptly interrupted her thoughts with

"The fact that the consummation has not been performed is a problem."

She began to become tense, so he continued...

"But... technically we're mates."

She began to show signs of extreme discomfort and embarrassment, she bean to turn from him completely.

"Look at me woman!"

He was enraged that she had yet to look at him since her realization of his nakedness.

He wanted her to understand, that even if he wasn't sober when they legalized things, it was still exactly what it was to him.

"I am yours to have"

Botan gaped at his words.

You are mine, and I am yours.

We belong.
