Shopping!!! By: Taru-chan

.¸¸.·´¨».¸¸.·´¨».¸¸.·´¨».¸¸.·´¨».¸¸.·´¨»

Hiei sat in shock. He didn't think she even noticed him, much less thought he was cute. I mean, he did get taller since he became a human. (He grew taller right when he touched the orb and became human. He's still got his super-speed. ^-^) Stupid nigen emotions, they're getting to me. Hiei said to himself.

"Hey you guys lets just go to bed. Or maybe we could play video games since the girls are out now." Kuwabara said breaking the odd silence.

"Yes, let's do that." Kurama said bringing him out of his shock. Botan said he was nice, no girl had ever said that and managed to make him blush. Did he like this ex-deity?

.¸¸.·´¨».¸¸.·´¨».¸¸.·´¨».¸¸.·´¨».¸¸.·´¨»

The sleepover had passed and the incident at the sleepover had been forgotten. It was a week before school would start. So that meant-

"SHOPPING!!!!!!" all of the girls screamed in unison while the guys all groaned.

"Honestly, I don't see how you girls can actually like shopping." Kuwabara said scratching his head.

"Honestly, I don't see how you understand anything." Shizuru had just walked into the room making her presence known with her harsh but true statement.

Kuwabara merely growled at his sister, not in the mood to argue fully with her because of his disappointment in having to go shopping.

"So what do we have to buy, and where are we going?" Yusuke asked.

"School stuff and the mall." Botan answered.

"Hn." Hiei was thinking about the place that they call a mall. He had heard of it and had seen girls flocking toward there with empty hands only to come back nearly falling over with all the things they bought. Hn. Why do they get so much stuff. All they need is a few sets of clothes and a weapon.

Obviously, Hiei didn't understand girls.

They were at the mall and the guys were dragging behind the obviously excited girls.

"I can't wait to go get my new clothes!" Keiko said. "Botan, I'm gonna help you with your new wardrobe, K?"

"But Keiko, don't we have uniforms?"

"Well.Yeah.but it will be fun shopping for clothes though, ne?"

All the guys sweatdropped, something Botan and Kuwabara made them do easily. But I guess Keiko had a ditzy side when she was shopping.

"Oh, look you guys," Yusuke shouted, trying to get them to play along so they could get out of this nightmare. "The Anime store!!! Keiko.uh.would you mind if we went to the anime store while you girls go shopping for your stuff. Cause we can get our uniforms and wardrobes and all a lot quicker than you girls can.I mean, jeez, you guys take forever just to pick out a shirt!"

Obviously, Yusuke shouldn't have said the last thing because Keiko wasn't too happy. "Go Yusuke, if you don't feel like hanging around your girlfriend!" After that she stomped off with the others.

"Okay guys, lets go!"

"Doesn't she make you feel the least bit guilty?" Kuwabara asked, shocked.

"He's too stupid to feel guilty." Hiei said before Yusuke could answer.

But Yusuke didn't hear Hiei because he was already in the anime shop. And Kuwabara was right behind him.

"AWWW!!!! Look! Anime chicks!" Kuwabara wispered to Yusuke.

"Aren't we looking at the anime?"

Suddenly a girl walked up behind them.

"Do you have a problem with girls liking anime?" Said the girl with light brown hair pulled up with chopsticks.

"Uh.uh.no, not at all." Kuwabara said.

"Oh okay! It's just at my old school I was teased because I was the only girl who liked anime. By the way, my name's Hikari Shinomori." She said now suddenly sounding cheerful, somewhat reminding them of Botan.

"Hey, would you like to go out sometime?"

"Who would want to go out with a baka like you?" Hiei suddenly appeared.

"Oh hi, I'm Hikari!" She said to Hiei.

"Hn."

"That's Hiei," Kurama said. "He doesn't talk much."

"I can tell." Hikari said in a slightly cold voice. "I've gotta go buy my manga, so see ya."

"AWW MAN!!! She never answered me!"

"I think it's obvious what her answer was." Yusuke showed up with all his essentials.

The guys spent about an hour in the store. They were having a great time until-

"Hey you guys!!!! Did ya get your uniforms yet???" Botan said practically drowning in shopping bags.

"Uh." Yusuke rubbed the back of his head with his head looking at the floor.

"Cummon you guys. I guess we'll have to go get their uniforms with them." Shizuru said. "Since they're too lazy to do it on their own." She had to add that last comment for the fun of it.

The guys were dragged off to the uniform store, School Time, (yeah I know lame name, but I HAVE to buy my uniforms there since I go to a private school and they require that you get your uniforms from there, Bakas.)

"Whata bout our school supplies?"

"We got them for you!" Botan cheered.

Hiei smirked. This girl could be so happy, it was disgusting.

"Good as long as they're not Kitty-chan supplies, I'm okay." Kuwabara said.

"We're here!"

"Now you've got to get fitted. At our school you have to wear a shade of blue for your suit, which obviously, Yusuke doesn't take into consideration." Keiko said, talking to Hiei and Kurama.

"I'm not wearing blue." Hiei said as simply as that.

"And I'm not too fond of blue myself, but if it's required." Kurama flinched at the thought of him not wearing his usual colors.

"Hiei, you've got to wear blue!"

"Yusuke doesn't." Hiei said stubbornly.

"Well at least wear black or a really dark color so it will not stand out as much." Keiko said.

"What color did you think I would wear? Pink?"

"I like pink, it's my favorite color! There's nothing wrong with that color!" Botan said, offened.

"Hn."

Just then a store clerk came up to them. "Would you be interested in buying some uniforms?" She siad directed at Hiei.

"No thank you, I don't go to school."

Just then, Hiei was pounded to the ground by Botan who immediately regreted her decision.

"Stupid onna, you will pay!" Hiei wispered under his breath while charging at her.

Before he could make contact Kurama and Kuwabara had him held back. Yusuke was laughing in the backround while Keiko was trying to explain what was up with their special friend.

"You see he kinda has a problem with going out in public. This will be his first year at a real school instead of being home-schooled and well.he's not too happy, so please forgive him." Keiko said quite confidently, a little too confident. She was getting pretty good at lying, probably a result from hanging out with Yusuke and Kuwabara more than usual.

Good thing Hiei didn't hear that because he would have exploded. But, fortunately he was dragged of to the fitting room by a struggling Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara.

The girls waited a long time for the guys to come out of the fitting rooms. But when they finally came out-

"Yusuke, I look almost as idiotic as Kuwabaka." Obviously, Hiei wasn't pleased with his uniform. But Botan thought otherwise.His urge to always wear black suited him. The uniform he was wearing was exaclty like Yusuke's other than the color. But, it had one alternation, it had a embroidered gold dragon on it to match the buttons. She suddenly caught herself staring at Hiei.

He looks so cute! Botan thought to herself.

"Why are you so red Botan?" Kurama asked, concerned.

"Oh." He caught her blushing, "I was uh seeing how long I could hold my breath." She said, noting at how great he looked in the dark blue uniform that was required for the school. She blushed at thinking about Kurama being cute in the uniform. She was confused! Who did she like?

"Do you have your uniforms?" Kurama questioned.

"Not really, the other girls got theirs earlier in the week so I still have to get mine. I heard the girls uniforms are different this year."

"Oh, well you should go ahead and get them. The store closes in a hour."

"Okay," Botan walked off towards the fitting rooms. Not knowing Kurama was watching her every move.

This is such a cute outfit! Botan screamed inside her head.

"Botan, come out! The stores about to close!!!!" Keiko knocked on her fitting room door.

"TAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDAAAAAAA!!!!!" Botan jumped out of the changing room, jumping right into Keiko and making them fall into a heap on the floor. The others walked up to the two girls laughing their heads off.

"I knew your girl was crazy Yusuke." Kuwabara whispered to Yusuke.

"Whata bout Botan?"

"I always knew she was."

Kurama smiled, Botan looked so innocent and carefree, close to the opposite of him.

Hiei was standing next to him staring at the ex-deity. He was smiling. That caught everyone's attention.

"OH MY GOSH!!!" Botan said in a sarcastic voice, "the emotionless being is smiling!!!!" Everyone burst out laughing, everyone except Hiei.

"Well at least I don't look like a sailor scout." He retorted. A smirk forming on his face.

"I do not look like a sailor scout, my uniform's cooler!" Botan said with a little bit of hurt in her voice.

She was right, her uniform was.well.a little bit cooler. [If you have the game Teken Tag and you know who Xiaou is then you know the uniform she has. (Did I spell her name right?) If you don't the uniform has a plaid skirt that has all kinds of dark blue colors in it, a little bit of white, and an equal amount of dark green. The shirt is white, but like all Japanese uniforms, there's a scarf/kerchief thingy that is tied around the neck, so it looks like the sailor scouts scarf thingy. Okay, back to the story!]

"Sure, whatever."

"So you've been watching Sailor Moon then, right? I didn't think that a heartless ex-demon like you would watch such a girly show!" Botan said, a smirk oh so similar to Hiei's forming on her face.

"Nice one Botan! Way to tell shorty off!" Kuwabara yelled, gaining the attention of many bystanders.

Hiei's smirk disappeared. But he did nothing more, swearing to himself that he would get him back when he was least expecting it.

"Cummon, let's buy these uniforms." Kurama said.

"I don't have any money though." Botan said.

Of course Hiei had some, he had quickly swiped some money from Kuwabaka. I guess he got him back.

(A/N: A.S.A.P. by Utada Hikaru is a really cool song. So is Look at us now Baby by Serina Paris -no relation to Paris, France, I think, or at least I hope. Don't know why I brought that up, probably cause I'm listenin' to those songs right now.)

"I'll pay for them," Kurama said

"Are you sure?"

He nodded.

"Thank you so much.I'll pay yoou back as soon as I get a job, okay."

"No don't worry about it. What are friends for?"

"May I ask how you paid for all your other stuff?" Hiei asked, hoping to catch Botan in a trap.

"We paid for it as a welcoming present." Keiko said while gesturing to Yukina and Shizuru.

"Hn."

"Thank you and come again!" The employee that had just checked out the guys said.

"Thank you," said Kurama with a slight bow.

He's so polite! It's cute! Botan thought to herself. She didn't realize that she had a thing for the two complete opposites, Kurama and Hiei. She was in for a rough road.

*elsewhere*

"GEORGE!!!!!!! Get in here this minute!!!"

"Yes Koenma-sama?"

"How is the training on the new ferry girl doing?"

"Uh."

"Don't tell me she brought another soul to makai."

George sighed. "Good that's a load off my shoulders!"

"Oh great, she did, didn't she?"

"Well yeah, but remember how Botan was when she first started?"

Koenma laughed. "Yeah, she was the dizziest deity ever! I miss her, it is so quite here and so gloomy. Especially with dad home."

"I miss her too. Why don't you call the tantei in for a mission." George suggested.

"Great idea!!!! But first we have to wait for dad to go on a vacation.a very long one."

*Back to the Tantei*

"You guys wanna get sumthin to eat?" Yusuke asked the group.

"Okay, sure. What are we gonna get?" asked Kuwabara.

"How about some good old fashion Burger King!"

"Ok, McDonalds stinks anyway!" Shizuru said.

"McDonald's is so much better than Burger King! They're fries are the BEST!!!" Kuwabara retorted.

"Yeah, well did you know that McDonalds using meat flavoring in their fries?"

"EEEWWWW!!!!" Botan said. (By the way I don't own McDonalds or BK)

"Let's just go have Wendy's or maybe we could just have some sushi or KFC." Keiko said.

"Burger King okay with everyone?" Kurama said. "I'll pay."

"Anything's that's free I'll take it!" Kuwabara said soon joined by Yusuke.

"Okay then, BK it is." Finally they decided! Kurama thought while walking toward the Burger King in the food court.

*10 minutes later.*

Yusuke and Kuwabara were having a contest to see who could eat the most and it was rather disgusting. But people came from all over the food court to see the young pigs eat.

"Yusuke, this is stupid. I'm going."Keiko said, hoping to get him to stop. For her, this was very embarrassing.

"Keiko chill out!" said Yusuke while stuffing fries in his mouth.

"The baka's are going to explode!"

"Hn. It would do the world some good." Hiei said leaning against a wall near their table.

Botan was angry with this black-haired shorty, she didn't even know why, "You know what else would do the world some good.If you would quit being such a.a.a."

"A what, onna."

"A stuck-up idiot!" Then she stormed off, the girls following her.

"Hiei 0, Botan a gazillion!" Kuwa shouted.

"Hn' Hiei said as he walked off toward the parking lot. Obviously, this shopping spree was over.

*Outside in the parking lot*

"Botan, are you okay?"

It was Kurama, he seemed worried, worried for her. Botan turned around, tear streakes on her face ruining her make-up that had been so carefully put on earlier.

"Hey," she tried to smile, but her smile was fake.

"What's wrong, I know something's wrong when our ditzy deity is not her genki self." He said, trying to put some laughter in her eyes.

"It's so weird, not being, well how I was. I mean all I did was save a little girl. I miss Rekai so much." She started to cry again, but this time Kurama was there to console her.

"It's okay, no one thinks of you any differently. We all still know you as our ditzy deity. Our smart, yet ditzy beautiful deity."

Did he say beatiful? Botan couldn't belive her ears.

"Hey Botan! You okay!?" There was our very sensitive Yusuke.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Still not over the hold human thing."

"Yeah, well I kinda like you better human."

"Why is that?"

"Cause you don't have that oar of yours to hit me with." He was serious for once.

"Really?" Botan kicked him in the shin. "Still have my physical strength."

"Get up Yusuke." Keiko slaped him a little too hard on the face.

Immediately he was up and fuming. "Darnit Keiko!!!!"

"Kuwabara-kun, can we go please?" Yukina, who had been quite all day, voiced.

"Sure, my love." Kuwabara can sound so, well, stupid sometimes.

"Let's go, then!"

So they all piled into the car. Kurama smelled cigarette smoke. "Shizuru, is your dare over with yet? Cause I thought it wouldn't be over until tomorrow."

"Ummmm.."

"You broke the dare!!!! That's another week!!!! Hahahahahaha! Take that sis! You were caught!!!"

"Shut-up if you want to live."

When they were all in the car and had stopped arguing ouver the dare that Shizuru had broke they all headed to Keiko's house.

Botan was deep in thought about what had happened earlier. She just couldn't get it out of her head. Plus she had this weird feeling like someone had been watching.

Hn, how can I be jealous, the kitsune and the ex-deity were just talking, and I don't even like the onna. She's the one that put me in this position anyway. I don't like her!!!!! That's for sure!!!

Or is it????
