Well, once again real life got to me, mixed in with a bit of writer's block. Hopefully I can keep on schedule this time.

Prompt: Open


All in Due Time: Saved by the Bell, err, Ogre

Botan flushed immediately at Hiei's question, and she quickly turned around in hopes that he may not see. Who knew how well those demon eyes worked in the dark? Much better than hers, at least. How could she possibly open up and tell him she was afraid? Afraid of why she'd felt so left out when Mukuro was around, afraid she might not measure up. It was ridiculous, really. She just couldn't figure out what had gotten into her and she knew it would be no help to clue Hiei in.

"Oh, Hiei, don't be silly! I wasn't avoiding you. Why would I ever do such a thing?" She laughed nervously, moving her hand up to her face and making her signature pawing motion.

Hiei grunted at her stupid antics and pulled his bandanna off, revealing his Jagan to the ferry girl. If she would not tell him, he would just find the answers himself, "Hn. You cannot lie to me, woman."

Botan squealed and dove away from him and behind the chair in her room in a wasted effort to hide from his Jagan, "Please, Hiei, invading my privacy isn't very-" The blue haired woman was cut off by a loud knock on her door. They both turned towards the source and Botan gulped but did not dare answer, for she didn't want to get Hiei in trouble for being here.

On the other side of the door, the voice of George erupted, "Miss Botan, I know you're in there! Koenma has summoned you to his office immediately. And bring Hiei with you!"

Well this certainly couldn't be good.
