Hiei and Botan enter the room hand in hand

Kuwabara: I knew it!

Kurama: it's about time.

Star: Kurama can I ask you something?

Kurama: umm

Star: look what's that? Points and as everyone looks away she kisses Kurama

Kuwabara: wha? I don't see anything

they all turned to see a red Kurama and a smiling Star.

Yusuke: what did you do to Kurama?

Star: =Y.Y= nothing. On with the story.

You are my final test

Hiei put his hands on her cheeks, "you're lying." He said. Botan was blushing at his touch.

"Okay, maybe I am a little cold." She gave in and she could feel warmth coming from his hands. "Hiei?"

"Better?" he asked her and she nodded. "Good." He let his hands fall and was about to turn when Botan kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you Hiei, for everything. And I hope that we can always be friends, even after this." she said. Hiei stepped up to her and placed his hands on her hips and pulled her closer to him. "Hiei. What are you..." she was cut off when he placed a finger on her lips.

"You talk too much." He said and traced her lips with his soft fingers. Botan shivered and closed her eyes. She opened them slowly and looked into his blazing red eyes. He pressed her against a huge tree and came closer. Botan could feel his breath on her lips as he moved in. His lips brushed hers lightly and he seemed to reconsider what he was about to do because he pulled away and let her go.

"Hiei?" Botan wondered. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" he asked

"For letting you fall in love with me." She said

"..." He said nothing. 'Love? What is love? I cannot have this emotion. When this mission is over I am leaving for a long vacation.' He told himself only hoping it would be true.

"No words, I see." Hiei could see her heart break right in front of his ruby eyes. "Well we have less than a day left so let's get going." Botan said as she choked back her tears.
"Hey!" Yusuke yelled at the dark man. "What's wrong? Are my friends too much for you to handle?"

"It does not matter. I will kill Hiei my self, as it should be. "He said

the final test was coming up and Hiei and Botan would not be caught off guard again. But they could only imagine what it could be.
"What could this next test be?" Botan asked

"Hn."

A yellow fairy appeared near an icy door with old writings on it. "To open the door you mush trust in each other. Hand trusts hand" The fairy said and vanished

"I trust you, Hiei." Botan said, "Do you trust me?"

"Hn." He nodded

"Okay but why wont the door open?" she asked. She walked up to the door and placed her hand on the handle.

"Hand trusts hand." He said

"What?" Botan asked. Hiei placed his hand over hers and the door opened. "We are almost there. Let's get the others." She walked in front of Hiei. He pulled her back

"I want you to stay here." He ordered.

"But why?" Botan said,

"Just do it." he said, "promise me." He said

"But... okay Hiei. I promise." Botan said. She wanted so much to prove that he could trust her.
Kuwabara: why does he want her to stay there?

Kurama: maybe he wants to protect her.

Hiei: ask Star. Where is that girl?

Kurama blushes

Yusuke: what's wrong with you now?

Kurama: nothing. Good night everyone.
