Thank you all for waiting so patiently while I took my sweet time updating. This chapter is really going to focus on Botan talking to Genkai. It is going to be short, I can tell you that much, but I hope you still enjoy. Bye.

*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~

Botan is at Genkai's temple talking to her about things. This occurs at the same time as Hiei is talking to Kurama.

"Genkai, can I talk to you about something?"

"Of course Botan. What do you need?"

"I'm confused. Very confused."

"About what?"

"Hiei."

"What about Hiei?"

"I think I'm in love."

"WITH HIEI?!!!!"

"Shh…I really don't want anyone to know yet. Please. I'm not so sure though. A lot of things have happened in such a short amount of time."

"Ok, tell this old woman about all of it."

"Well the first time I started even thinking about Hiei differently was almost a month ago, or maybe it was two months, I don't know exactly."

"Ok."

"Koenma was chasing and threw a fireball at me, I fell off of my oar, and Hiei caught me. And then, by impulse I kissed him. It was only on the cheek, but I remember thinking that if his cheeks were that soft, if possibly his lips were as well."

"Ok, is that all?"

"Well then we heard something and turned around only to be caught nose to nose staring in each others eyes. I remembered you saying once that the key to the soul is through the eyes, and so I tried my hardest to look at his soul. There was so much there, and I could tell he was looking through my soul as well. Then a little while later Kurama told me that we were in the heart of Makai, and I immediately latched onto Hiei's arm, since he was the closest. He started cursing like crazy, but he didn't move away, in fact, he pulled me closer."

"Well, that's quite a story. Now you said there were many things happening. What is something else."

"Well a few days after that I think it was, I went shopping with the gang. Then we split, Yusuke and Kuwabara went with Keiko, and Kurama and Hiei went with me. I remembered that I needed to buy some bras so we went into Victoria's Secret. Then the bra I was trying on got stuck in my hair when I was trying to take it off, so Hiei helped me out. And then I couldn't get mine on because it got caught in my hair, so Hiei helped me out again, and every time his fingers touched my skin a shiver went down my back. Part of me wanted him to feel that shiver too, but part of me didn't."

"Well that's quite interesting. Anything else?"

"Oh, and I went to Kurama's house to talk to him, and I heard Hiei call me his deity. And, believe it or not, that was a major turn-on to hear Hiei say that."

"Turn-on? Botan, are you sure you're ok?"

"Yes. Well then another time, Shizuru and Keiko were asking me if I liked Hiei, and I don't know. I didn't want to tell them that I do, but I don't want to say that I don't, because I know I do like him. And Keiko started planning a triple wedding for her, Yusuke, me , Hiei, Shizuru, and Kurama. Even though the idea kind of freaked me out, I was thinking of how wonderful it would be if Hiei and I were married. And then at the ball."

"The ball? What happened at the ball?"

"Well after Hiei and I started dancing he said 'the dress looks good on you onna' and I loved it how he complimented me and then I said 'Botan, how hard is it to say Botan, Jaganshi' and he gave me a sexy smirk, a really sexy smirk. And I was thinking of how good that sounded, Botan Jaganshi. It has a ring to it, don't you think Genkai? Well anyways, after the ball was over, Hiei even took me home. And when we got to my door, I kissed him on the cheek and went in. but that night I dreamed of nothing but Hiei. Genkai, am I truly in love with Hiei?"

"Yes you are."

"Do you think he feels the same about me? I couldn't take it if I told him and then he told me to leave him alone and that he hates me."

"I'm sure he doesn't. from what you've told me, I think he might have some feelings for you as well. But he's not used to these feelings. You're going to have to help him out Botan."

"I'm not used to these feelings either."

"True. But you know a lot more about all of this than he does. He, as funny as this sounds, is probably scared if he feels the same way. This is completely new to Hiei. But I think you'd be surprised what love can make people do."

"Thank you Genkai."

"It's getting late, you should probably stay here tonight. I don't want you to get into any sort of trouble while on your way to Reikai. You never know who is out there. You can sleep in Yukina's room tonight."

"Speaking of Yukina. Why did she leave to Makai and then come back anyways? and Where is she?"

"Kuwabara was in love with her and she didn't feel the same way and she wanted to find her brother, but when she discovered that Hiei truly is her brother, that's when she came back. She's sleeping over at Keiko's. Seems all the girls are."

"Oh, that's right. Keiko asked me if I wanted to also, but I told her no, that there were important things I needed to take care of first."

"Go to sleep now Botan, and tomorrow morning when Yukina and Keiko come back, I'll have them cook some food, and you can go to the park with Hiei and have a talk."

"Yukina and Keiko are coming over?"

"Yes. Keiko decided that she wanted to watch and see how Yusuke trains, so she's coming over tomorrow morning to see that."

"Oh. Ok then. Well thank you for everything Genkai. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Botan."

Well how was that? As you can see, Botan pretty much understands a lot better than Hiei. In the next chapter Botan and Hiei are going to go on their picnic, but trouble ensues.
