botan's POV
Okay...There Aiko and I was. Surrounded by youkais. Kami, I really wanted to scream but Aiko put her hand over my mouth shakeing her head "no". Just like at the hot springs I wanted to scream the first name that came to mind...Youko....
---back to our heroes....-----
Youko said,"are you sure you want to go through with this hiei?"
Hiei gulped and raised out his hand.
youko smirked.
Hiei chose....
"Damn it!!!"Hiei screamed.
"Haha. You got the old maid."
"You seemed tough."Hiei shuffled the cards."How about a game of 13?"
"Fine with me."
---..eh....back to botan....------
Aiko started to whisper something ot me,"If we make the slightest movement or noise these youkais will try to kill us, and i'm not kidding."
I whisperred back,"Why aren't they attacking us now?"
"Well...it might be hard to see but these youkai's are blind. They are really smart though. They know a sound of a rock or leaf. So we can't fake our way out of here."
"Ergh...."I looked down to my feet. There, was a spider on it. If might of guessed I hated spiders...I screamded.
"Botan!!!" I heard Aiko yell.
I did what I thought I could do. I summouned my oar,but failed to do so. I didn't eat in three days. I'm so hungry.....I nearly collasped if Aiko didn't yell to me again. I looked at her. She was fighting all the youkais but thgey kept on coming.I realized none were coming to me.That's because Aiko was the center of the noise. With the hitting and all. Then she got knocked out by another youkai. They were all coming after her. So I took of my sandal. They knew about the diffrent noises right? So I tied a rock against my sandal to make up for the weight. Then I threw it. It worked, all of the youkais ran.
I picked up Aiko and put her on my back. Out of all the things I wanted to do, take a walk....
--back to youko------
Youko's POV
"ha!" Hiei said as he out down a two of hearts. He was now down to one card and I to four. I smirked and put down four of fives. I won.
"Your the worst card player I have ever met Hiei." I said.
He glared at me. Then I sniffed the air. Botan was coming back, I shrugged. I went outside anyways. Hiei followed.
I gaped. Botan was walkign very weakly with Aiko on her back. I ran to her.
"What happened?!" I yelled.
She looked at me."We were attacked by youkais...Aiko got knocked out by them and I threw my sandal and lured them away." Botan said.
She awalys said everything so readily and easily. I looked at her feet. At least she was telling the truth. I saw Hiei at the corner of my eye. He was seacretly glaring at Aiko.
---2 hours later.------
AIko woked up she yawned at looked at everybody. Hiei was about to explode...Actually. He did.
"What were you thinking?!" he yelled. "I thought you were a low "b" class. You could've handled those youkais alone! WHy did you fake it!?"
"But i-"AIko began.
"Don't play a fool. Who sent you and why?"
I looked at Hiei. Kami I have never seen him act this way before. I looked over at botan. She was about to protest but I shook my head "no".
"Well?!" Hiie yelled,"I want an answer!"
"I was sent by Koenma!" Aiko blurted. She covered her mouth, looked at Botan, then ran out. Hiei growled and followed.
"You know..." Botan began.
I looked at her.
"She could've had the chance to capture me anytime, but, she never really did. Plus, those youkais were really strong. I don't think she was faking it." Botan turned and smiled at me. It wasn't really one of her perky smiles. Just a sad one...
"I pity her." SHe said again.
I huffed at her."She almost got you killed." I said.
"You know, there was one thing that kept in my mind." She stared at me again. "Youko-chan would save me. Youko-chan will be here."
"Tch. I can't watch over you all the time." I turned and left to my room. Feeling half guilty.
--where Aiko is-----
Third person's POV
Aiko sat down. Hiei sat too.
"Now, tell me everything." Hiei said.
"Koenma sent me."
"I know that! WHy!?"
"He heard about me looking for you. He knew you were friends with Youko. He knew you would run to him. SO he sent me."
"Why didn't you capture her."
Aiko turned to Hiei,"because, it would make a person very sad."
"Isn't Koenma sad?"
"Yes...he is. If you think about it though. She belongs here more than there."
"How so?"
"When Koenma looks at her, he thinks her as a sister. When Youko looks at her...."
"What?"
AIko put her finger to her mouth,"It's a secreat." She winked.
"Tell me."
"Pat attention more Hiei. Your jagan eye can't show you anything."
"hm?"
"Anywho!!! I got to go! I have my own fiance to go to."
"EH????"
"What? I only said I was your finace to get onto the house." She shrugged.
"Chi."
Aiko smiled. Then was about to leave when she said,"Oh! I took your necklace by yanking it off. The string is really loose! Fix it!" She laughed then turned and said,"You really need to tell Youko who else is after Botan."
Hiei looked at AIko.
"Ja bye bye!!!" Aiko said. then ran off.
Hiei shrugged. Then took out his necklace. She was right. He started to tightned it. Then he though.'i'm getting soft. I just made myself another "friend" Hiei left.
--With Botan and Youko!!!------
Botan ate her heart out. Youko watched.
"Don't get this wrong! I'm only giving you food because you saved Aiko!" Youko yelled.
Botan ate her last scrape of food and then looked at Youko,"Thank you Youko chan!" She said happily.
Youko looked at her. She looked back. She happily said,"I'm going to bed now." She cleaned up the plates and left.
Youko watched her leave. Then went outside.
"Kitsune."
"Hello Hiei" Youko said.
Hiei jumped from the tree.
Youko said,"How'd the talk go."
"Fine."
"So...you tried to tell me something the first time you got here. What was it?"
"Someone's after the deity."
"And that person was Aiko."
"Wrong...."
"Then who was it?"
"...Kuronue."
