Silent Pleas ~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

Hello. I know I haven't gotten as many reviews as I'd like to have, but this will just have to do. I was wondering if there should be more Hiei/Botan fluff, and if it should be right now or in the later chapters. Please answer me within your reviews!

I was also wondering if Botan or Hiei should have a rival... just to make it more interesting. (I think it would be interesting if Botan had a rival for Hiei... it would be funny in my opinion)

Without further ado, here is the story.

'.' = Thoughts "." = Talking . = Conscience ~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

'Ok, Botan.' I thought to myself as I dropped Hiei off on the ground. 'If he doesn't want to tell me the easy way, he'll just have to tell me the HARD way.'

So, I flew to my apartment, went inside, grabbed a pen and paper and sat at my table. I started to write. It was time to make a plan.

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

1 Hour Later

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

"Whew! I did it! A fool-proof plane!" I cheered as I victoriously held up two sheets of paper filled with my small writing. 'I hope that he doesn't get mad at me... oh well. He can't keep those feelings bottled up inside. I just hope that he'll give in soon...'

'Yes, but is it Hiei proof?' I thought, and looked over it again. After I finished and realized that no one could get out of the trap I had set for Hiei, I grabbed my oar and ran outside.

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

"Koemna!" I yelled as I walked up to his desk, bowing deeply, although I absolutely despise bowing every time I see him.

Koemna sighed at motioned for me to stop bowing. He looked at me and set down his stamp on his desk, peering up at me.

"Yes, Botan?" He said exasperatedly. "What is it THIS time?"

"Koemna," I said, looking at him cutely, although if I wasn't doing this for a good reason I would never have done it. "Could I have about fifty demon wards? You know, the kind that don't let demons out, no matter how strong their ki is?" (A/N- I'm sorry, but I couldn't find a better word for this than ki. Ki is the energy that demons have. Very sorry!)

"Yes, we just got some in." He said, looking at me curiously, handing me the demon wards in a big box that he had after I had done speaking. "But why do you need them? And why do you need so many? Only a few are needed for those weak demons that you usually fight..."

"Thank you!" I said, cutting him off. Not wanting to explain, I rushed outside and jumped off my oar. 'Now all I need to do is get the bait...'

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

"Oh Hiei!" I yelled up at the tree I knew he was in. "How about you come down here?"

"Hn." He answered, not even bothering to look down. I smiled, knowing he would be like this. 'Now, time to get this started...'

"I suppose that I'll have to eat this ice cream all by myself then..."

In the blink of an eye, he was standing beside me, looking suspiciously at me. I mentally cheered, but kept innocence written all over my face.

"Sweet snow?" He said, still looking at me with suspicion.

"Yes! Sweet snow! Come with me, and I'll bring you to it." I said cheerfully, motioning for him to get on my oar, which I had called up moments ago.

He cautiously got onto my oar and held on tightly. I brought us to an abandoned warehouse that I knew no one was using.

"In there, Hiei." I said, motioning for him to go into the warehouse. 'I hope this works.'

When he ran into the warehouse and found the gallon of ice cream I had put in there, I knew that I had some time to spare. But, nonetheless, I quickly went to my work. In less than two minutes, the warehouse was decorated with demon wards.

Just as quickly, Hiei was done eating his sweet snow. Luckily, I was done my work. I heard the doorknob being turned. But the door wouldn't open, no matter how hard Hiei tried. Suddenly, Hiei realized the trap he had been lead into.

"LET ME OUT!"

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

Another chapter. Well, tell me what you think should happen. I would like to hear your ideas. I know its short... sorry about that. Maybe next chapter will be longer. That is, if I get a lot more reviews. This time, I want 20-30 reviews before I do another chapter. More Botan/Hiei fluff if you do! (^-^) Please?

SO PRESS THAT BUTTON RIGHT THERE! You know you want to...
