Same as last chapter. Do not steal my ideas, do not read this particular fic if you do not like Hiei/Botan pairings, and please R&R if you like it. If you do not like this fic, do not flame me... go vent your feelings on a piece of paper or something.

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~One Week Later~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
It is a warm night. I look out of my window and gaze into the quiet night. I am in Yusuke's house, because my arm still pains me, and everyone can see that. I hear Kurama and Yusuke talking in low voices, trying to be as silent as possible. I can still hear them, no matter what they do. I wouldn't call it eavesdropping, considering that it is probably about me.
"Yusuke, I'm really worried about Botan. She has been extremely quiet for a week. Do you think that something happened to her? I haven't seen Hiei around for about that time, too." I hear Kurama say. Unfortuanetly, he is right, I have been quiet, and I have been putting down my act somewhat. I have to fix that.
"Well, do you think that something happened between those two? Something... BIG?" Yusuke says. That pervert! If I was feeling better, I would go out there and slap him.
"Yusuke, this is no time for fun. We must find out what's wrong with Botan, and find Hiei. I think that something happened that they do not want to talk about. We must find out for their sake."
"All right. You try to find Hiei, and I'll get Botan."
And with that, they were done. I wonder where Hiei is. Is he still thinking about what happened a week ago? I hope not. It was an accident... of a sort. I still don't know how, or what, happened. I suppose I'll have to tell the Reikai Tantei soon. But later... I think as I fall into a dreamless slumber.
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
When I awaken, it's the wake of dawn. The sky is a light pink, and the sun is slowly rising on the horizon. I sneak out of the room that Yusuke has provided me. I can hear Yusuke's contented snores as he sleeps. I wistfully wish that I was like that.
I know that I must find Hiei, and ask him about... what happened. I'm not sure if he'll talk to my, never mind try and understand what happened, but I have to try. I summon my oar, and run outside. After jumping on it quickly, I fly up to look for Hiei.
What a beautiful sight. Me, alone, looking into the clouds and the sky. It's times like these that I wish I was alive, and able to enjoy things like this, inside of only catching fleeting glimpses of it when I'm busy on work.
Oh well. No time for fantasizing now. I must find Hiei before the day is done. It's my fault that he ran away. My fault. Isn't it always my fault? I wonder why that is.
I sigh and look around. He could be on the other side of the world with his speed! But then again, where would a sadistic fire/ice demon be? Probably in...
I get an idea, and quickly fly off to find him.
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
I look down, getting my bearings. I suddenly realize that I'm in the right spot, and fly down to see if my guess was correct as to where Hiei was.
It is a lush green forest. Quiet, beautiful, and full of green leaved trees, it provides comfort to all nature-loving people. Like myself. Perhaps Hiei will be here, sitting in a tree. But which one... Suddenly, I spot a tall tree to the right of me. I fly myself down to the highest branch in the tree, and see Hiei there, his arms folded behind his head, looking at the sky. Just as I suspected he would be.
"Hiei?" I ask, lowering my oar so that it is right next to him. "We need to talk."
Hiei turns away and doesn't speak. Maybe he has a right to do that. But we have to talk about this. And find out what happened.
"Hiei! Listen to me! Please!" I plead. How odd. Me, the deity of death, pleading. It would be a funny situation if it was not so serious.
"Hn." Hiei says, his back still to me. Well, at least he is speaking to me.
"Please Hiei! I know... it's hard for you, but..." I averted my eyes.
"Botan, go away." He said, sighing in defeat.
"HIEI!" I yell, so loudly that the birds from all around fly away. THAT'S IT!
I shake the tree branch that he is sitting on, and he, startled and off-guard, falls off. In a nanosecond, he is on my oar, I having caught him right before he touched the ground.
"Hiei, look, let's talk." I say, regaining my calm posture. I fly up, with him clutching my oar.
"Please, Hiei, talk to me. I can see into your memories, and you know that. Can't you talk to me about it? It may be tough, but you can't keep things like that bottled up inside!" I say as quietly as I could, so only he could hear me.
"Hn." Hiei said, facing away, still gripping my oar.
I sighed. Was he ever going to talk about this with me? I can't help him understand his pain. But I just can't let him deal with it by himself. I can't let him keep this bottled up inside of him. It would be cruel. I have to help him... no matter what.
"Hiei." I say, calmly looking at his back. "Let me help you. I can help you with your emotions. I'm not a therapist, but... I'll do anything I can. You can't keep your emotions bottled up, Hiei. It'll destroy you from the inside out."
I saw a little of the tension in his shoulders loosen, and then he muttered something under his breath.
"Fine. Just let me down."
I smiled. It was a start.
