Love Stinks "It's Just Getting Started"
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
"But aren't you on restriction, Lii?"
"Nonsense! What Kurama doesn't know, can't get me in trouble."
"You want to bet on that?"
"EEE!!"
Slowly Lii and Botan turned to see Yusuke where they expected Kurama, and he had on a Cheshire grin. "YOU BIG JERK!! I THOUGHT I WAS IN DEEP DOOKIE!!!" Botan used all her might to hold back a very pissy kitsune.
"Hey, hey! I just saw you sneaking around here, and was wondering what you two were up too." He started to sit down next to the girls. Lii ignored him, busy muttering to herself. Botan sweatdrop and turned her attention back to the Spirit Detective.
"You're back early. Did the mission go well?" Yusuke nodded as he plopped on the grass.
"Yeah, but I could have done without those huge demon snakes that were guarding the temple." Yusuke looked to see Botan give a small smile. He turned to the black haired girl. "What are you two doing out here anyway?"
"Oh, we're just following Kurama." Yusuke raised an eyebrow at Botan. "Well, you see, Lii has this crazy theory that Kurama and Hiei like each other." The boy arched his eyebrow higher. "I said it was crazy, but that's why we are following him, to confirm her theory."
"Besides," Lii piped up. "Didn't you say Botan, that they do like each other?"
"I was just kidding about that! I'm not sure if they like each other or not!" Botan said defensively.
"And if her theory is correct. Then what?" Yusuke butted in. Both kids flinched as Lii swiveled her head in their direction, a crazed grin on her face.
"Then, we get them to fall in love." She got up and walked away. Botan and Yusuke looked at each other, before scrambling up to run after the young kit.
"And just how do you propose to do that?" Botan asked, trying to keep up with the nine tails pace. Lii took a deep breath and continued to power walk. Yusuke had no trouble of matching her pace, folding his arms behind his head.
"Well, I know it sounds crazy, but," she stopped and looked at Botan. "I'm going to play cupid!" Botan and Yusuke blanched and gapped. Lii glared. "Yeesh! No need for you two to do that, ya know!" The kitsune resumed her walking.
"But Lii!" Botan quickly caught up with the girl. "You don't know a thing about making someone fall in love!" Lii stopped and looked at the blue haired girl as Yusuke stopped at her side.
"So," He grinned. "Are you going to be needing a heart shaped arrow and a bow?" Yusuke snickered. Botan glared at him and Lii rolled her eyes and continued to walk on.
"Yusuke! This is not funny, it is a very serious matter!!" scolded Botan.
"Sorry," He muttered and hollered after Lii. "I should have asked if you wanted me to go to the nearest store and buy you a pair of small angel wings!!" Botan glared at him, furious of how the Spirit Detective was behaving and not helping out.
"Har, har, har." Lii said then flinched and turned around after hearing a 'bamming,' sound and someone crying out in pain. Botan appeared next to Lii's side, leaving a whimpering Yusuke to follow slowly.
"Lii dear, I know you love your cousin very much and hate to see him in pain. But don't you think taking matters into your own hand is a little bit, well...dangerous?"
"Nope."
"Well, maybe you should stop and think about this before you go on through with this." Botan pleaded. "You don't want to cause Kurama any pain." Lii stopped and looked at Botan, giving Yusuke a chance to catch up.
"I lived with him my whole life. "Lii began looking up in the sky. "Despite his cold hearted reputation as the white fox spirit, he treated me very well. Dealt with me when I was still a baby kit, helped me control the powers that my tails caused; even though I wasn't supposed to have all nine at that time." Botan nodded and tried to interrupt, but Lii cut her off, getting on a roll. "AND loved me no matter what I did, from causing trouble to not wanting to kill or hurt a ningen." She looked at Botan as Yusuke listened carefully.
"I think I know what my cousin wants." The eyes sparked their original Spirit of the Nine Tail Fox, red eyes. "And he had many lovers in his youko life. I think I know what he wants as I said before." Lii turned around and began to walk on.
Yusuke looked at Botan. "She's got a point there." Botan just looked at him and raced after Lii.
"But you have to remember, the Youko you once knew is now different. He's changed after being born by a human mother, his heart was softened by her. And you would probably just hurt him by doing what you're trying to do." She stopped right behind Lii, who's eyes were concealed by her bangs.
"She's got a point too." Yusuke said.
The two just stood there, watching Lii who finally spoke up. "I know that, I know that he's not the same Youko I knew. But he's still my cousin and I still know what he wants, and it pains me just to see him the way he is..... DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO DEAL WITH HIM AND ALL HIS MOOD SWINGS~!?!?!??"
*BAM!*
*THUMP!*
Lii turned to see Botan laying on top of Yusuke, both had swirly eyes from flying backwards by the nine tails outburst. "Oh, you two okay?"
"Ungh~~" Was her only response. Lii kneeled down to them as Botan recovered first.
"And I was hoping that you would help me Botan, you too Yusuke." Botan and Yusuke looked at each other and looked at Lii, then nodded.
"Sure." Lii squeaked with joy and jumped on them. "Ooh! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!" Botan smiled as Lii glomped her.
"Uh... glad you two are happy and all," Yusuke groaned. "But... CAN YOU TWO GET OFF OF ME!??" Both girls' quickly scrambled off him.
~*~
"Okay, explain to me your crazy plan again?" Yusuke asked, watching Lii along with Botan and Yukina. Lii breathed out a puff of air and slumped her head.
"Its like being a matchmaker, only taking it to the extreme" replid Lii in a flat voice.
"And how do you take that to the extreme?" asked Botan, quite curious.
Yusuke snorted. "Probably like making them bang each other as many time as they want." He grinned but it was knocked off his seat by Botan, who pounded him. Lii gave her infamous deadpan look. Yukina on the other hand, looked a little bit lost.
"Er, bang each other?" She asked. Yusuke and Botan paled slightly, remembering Yukina still had an innocent mind. Lii quickly shook her head.
"Never mind about that, Yukina. Tell me, has Hiei been acting well, sort of weird? Yukina blinked a couple of times.
"As in how weird?" She asked. Lii took in a deep breath. "Weird as in... uhm..." The kit tried to think of a term that wouldn't get the Koorime confused.
"As in if he's been in heat." Botan answered, Lii nodded. Yukina seemed to ponder over the question and looked at the two girls before nodding.
"He's been eating a lot more ice cream, as if he craved for the sweetness and, oh yeah! He seemed to be in some sort of pain. One time he leaned over groaning as he was holding his need." Yusuke and Botan looked at Lii.
"Kurama is sort of the same, but-"
"And he has cum a couple of times, after getting worked up. and failing. also groaning." Yukina added with a slight blush. Lii just stared at her.
"Well, it's better then having to clean a wet sheet!" The three looked at Lii. "Hey! Kurama has been the same way lately. It's either having a lot of wet dreams, or he's sort of in heat too."
"Well, that settles it then." Botan clapped her hands. "They are just in heat and they are not in love with each other, or lovesickness or whatever." She stood up. "Since we know why they're acting they way they are, lets just go back to the usual." She began to walk away until Yukina spoke up.
"I don't think so. The other day when Hiei actually stayed with me at Genkai's place, I would pass the room that he was staying in, and he would be murmuring and groaning. I heard him say Kurama's name a couple of times..." Another tint of red reached her cheeks.
Lii looked at Botan, who gave a weak smile. "Okay, so they're not in heat."
Yusuke, Yukina and Lii stood up. "Oh, I'm sure they are in heat, but doing their best to do other things; like eating ice cream to tone it down." The kitsune looked at Yusuke and Botan.
"And they probably get worked up around each other because they are two males in heat, but since Kurama looks femine; Hiei is probably in more pain then the other." replied Botan. Lii nodded and smiled.
"You're good." Lii said, impressed.
"Thank you." She smiled and looked at Yusuke. "So know we're positively sure they like each other. Now what?"
The kitsune had another of her crazed grin on. "Then we put phase 1 into action!"
"So, you do have a plan all set and stuff." Yusuke looked impressed. He was really not used to going by plans, he just charged into a situation without one.
"Er, actually, I'm just making it up as we go along." Lii gave a nervous smile. Botan gave her a deadpan looked.
"Hey! At least she's trying to make a plan and not just do everything reckless." Yusuke pointed out, defending the nine tails.
"Yes, that's your job." Botan retorted then smiled sweetly as Yusuke glared at her.
"Well, all we know is that we are going to make them fall for one another." Yukina said. Everyone else nodded.
"And we could do this on your next mission." Botan said cheerfully. Yusuke groaned.
"We have another mission!?!??"
"Not yet, but you know better that it doesn't take long for your next mission to come." The Grim Reaper grinned.
"Oohhh..." Yusuke groaned, slumping his head. "But in the mean time." All three heads looked at Lii, "We have to keep this a secret." Everyone nodded.
The group split off, Yukina headed off with Lii, who was hoping Kurama wasn't home or else she was dead meat. Yusuke walked next to Botan.
"Hey, Botan. Why our next mission?" He looked at the blue haired girl.
"Well, if we began to do it now, who knows how long your next mission would last before we could resume with our plan." Botan looked around. "And I got a deep feeling that this is going to be hard." Yusuke just looked at her.
